Oh, yeah... How they are all too similar when it comes to writing

2018-01-22 18:20:23 UTC  

Indies don't need games journalists, because they demand money for actual coverage unless they "want" to cover it, which means the game needs publicity beforehand, which if it got pre-existant publicity would mean it doesnn't need the journalists spreading it

2018-01-22 18:20:49 UTC  

Well, that actually makes sense.

2018-01-22 18:21:04 UTC  

Also, helps that I find most of my games through steam reccomendations

2018-01-22 18:21:09 UTC  

And well.. User reviews

2018-01-22 18:21:21 UTC  

yes

2018-01-22 18:21:33 UTC  

steam is a better marketing tool now anyway

2018-01-22 18:21:46 UTC  

cuz the actual gamers that buy stuff have spat out any journalism cuz of gamergate

2018-01-22 18:22:08 UTC  

so all games journalists will generate nowadays on games tehy cover is hate from a mob of people taht arent even customers

2018-01-22 18:22:20 UTC  

Hmm, I guess they are benefiting from the hate.

2018-01-22 18:22:27 UTC  

Makes more sense that way.

2018-01-22 18:22:42 UTC  

well it depends

2018-01-22 18:23:03 UTC  

if it the journalists only cover the game its bad

if they go "look at this hated game" people will respond by buying it out of protest

2018-01-22 18:23:20 UTC  

Well, makes sense with clickbait actually

2018-01-22 18:23:24 UTC  

yes

2018-01-22 18:23:24 UTC  

You want clicks

2018-01-22 18:23:56 UTC  

"OK guys, well... this gun is cool looking, and it's black, and it fires bullets, so.... it functions. I mean, I hate guns, but I can imagine someone liking this for it's.... power....?"

2018-01-22 18:23:58 UTC  

They still are loosing money last I heard

2018-01-22 18:24:03 UTC  

anyhoo, gotta fly, gonna play heroes of the storm with some friends, i'll be around later

2018-01-22 18:24:07 UTC  

Cya then

2018-01-22 18:24:10 UTC  

It just makes no sense for games journalists to not be gamers.

2018-01-22 18:24:16 UTC  

Well I can say they hate black guns

2018-01-22 18:24:30 UTC  

if they wanted money, they should've gotten loyal audiences instead of spit on anyone that doesn't follow the progressive narrative

2018-01-22 18:25:51 UTC  

Nobody pays for news anymore however

2018-01-22 19:43:54 UTC  

I pay Tim to do that

2018-01-22 19:45:01 UTC  

Just need to replace press conferences with Twitter AMAs

2018-01-22 19:45:32 UTC  

Then maybe there'd be a lot less bullshit

2018-01-22 21:04:18 UTC  

Beautiful B-roll shots today, Tim. Also, the Text overlays are great.

2018-01-22 22:24:50 UTC  

Why do I get the feeling that "What you're saying is" is going to become a longer standing meme?

2018-01-22 22:25:38 UTC  

Also, how long before someone claims that saying "What you're saying is" as a means to take a dig at the left is a form of hate speech?

2018-01-22 22:26:45 UTC  

All I know is 'what you're saying is' is usually followed up by a strawman of what you were actually saying, at least from my experiences with it.

2018-01-22 22:29:00 UTC  

Aye, but since Kathy Newman used it so extensively, I've noticed people starting to use it satirically, like Tim does in today's video

2018-01-22 22:30:14 UTC  

on a related note, I'm wondering if there's any way to persuade Kathy to watch Cassie Jaye's TED Talk - in it Cassie talks about how she used to do the same thing back when she was of a feminist mindset

2018-01-22 22:31:10 UTC  

And to get her to see her "The Red Pill" documentary.

2018-01-22 22:31:28 UTC  

I'm wondering if it could be a good way to prod people into listening to what they're actually being told rather than what they think they're being told

2018-01-22 22:32:23 UTC  

I still need to watch the Red Pill myself, so not sure if Cassie actually explains how she used to think when she started the project

2018-01-22 22:33:18 UTC  

She does. Admittedly, she does spend more time on the MRA's point of view more than feminists, but she does both justice pretty alright. There was one part in there, however, where I am not ashamed to admit that I cried.

2018-01-22 22:33:54 UTC  

Where they were talking about boko haram.

2018-01-22 22:38:19 UTC  

Boko Haram is the islamist group that is against girls being educated if I'm remembering right?

2018-01-22 22:39:59 UTC  

Yeah.

2018-01-22 22:40:29 UTC  

All you heard about them was that they stop girls from getting an education, and kidnapped them that one time, right?
