  • I watched one of my friends play a bit, and the level design at times just seemed either intentionally confusing, or just bad. Like there was a lava level where the “main” path was actually a bunch of hidden paths separated by pools of lava that you had to run through and take damage. I can kind of forgive the running through lava part since coming into a boss fight at low HP or missing some flasks is the expected type of challenge in a souls-like, but the hidden main path thing just seemed annoying. And on top of that, the paths you were supposed to walk on were these big tree root/branch type things that were super easy to slide off of into the lava. It felt like tedium for tedium’s sake, not challenging in a fun way.




  • Steve poorly or never communicated what he thought were satisfactory resolutions to past comments or incidents and is upset that those resolutions didn’t happen.

    Steve very clearly says he would be happy with being attributed in a pinned comment on the video in question. Linus agreed to do that, then… didn’t do that. Steve is justified in being upset with the lack of action here, he isn’t Linus’s dad, he shouldn’t have to ask more than once for such a simple request.

    and is only escalating the situation further by softly threatening legal action

    If someone with as much money as LMG threatens legal action against you, it’s prudent to lawyer up and prepare a case/countersuit.

    while also hinting that they have way more evidence they are just conveniently leaving out

    Because when you’re preparing a legal case, it’s generally a good idea to not give your opponents all the materials you’re building your case with.

    despite their current evidence being mostly empty (specifically receipts 1 and 2)

    How are those examples empty? They may not be very extreme examples, but they clearly illustrate the type of behavior GN is claiming LMG engages in.

    None of this spat should have been public

    I can agree with you there.

    If I had to declare a winner so far, Steve is looking worse for wear

    Lol you lost me again

    Everyone looks worse and this should have been handled privately. Maybe LMG should appoint someone other than Linus to handle fellow media contacts, because it doesn’t seem like he’s the best for that job.

    Motherfucker pulled me right back in lmao




  • even the plagiarism email shows that GN appeared to be happy with the response, but now they’re acting like they never were.

    LTT never made any corrections or proper attributions, like they said in the email (which is what GN was happy about - that LTT agreed they were due credit and said they’d give it to them). LTT never followed through so it’s pretty justifiable that GN’s initial feelings would sour.




  • The distraction is the people saying things like “it was just an awkward gesture”, “it’s just a Roman salute”, “it’s no big deal”, “why are we still talking about this”, etc.

    It is absolutely not a distraction to acknowledge and bring attention to the fact that the most powerful nation on the planet is now being run by a fascist Nazi oligarch.

    This is a big deal. The executive orders are also big deal, but those don’t diminish this one. If you don’t think there are enough posts about the executive orders, you’re free to create them.





  • Ehhhh, American Idol winners are famous for falling off the face of the earth (do you know any other winners offhand besides Carrie and Kelly?), so I don’t blame people for not knowing her from that.

    I think it’s also a stretch to say she’s the most (or second most) popular female country singer. Country as a genre is becoming less and less popular, being replaced by pop/hip-hop/rap for young people. I feel like Carrie Underwood was most popular amongst the subset of elder millennials that still listened to country or who happened to catch her hits on pop radio, but Gen Xers and Boomers are probably more familiar with Reba McIntire, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, etc, and zoomers and Gen alpha are too busy listening to literally any other genre than country to know who any of those people are.
