I dunno why this is so much funnier because that guy is decked out in Seattle Kraken gear
I dunno if Iāve posted about this yet ITT but I think itās cool that Rey Mysterio is the cover athlete for WWE 2k22
Wasnāt he famously screwed over by WWEās booking for years? Thatās wild he gets the spotlight suddenly.
also a huge chunk of the roster in the game currently was fired throughout the last few years
gotta be a thankless job working on these titles
I thought I heard Bandcamp needed a buyer, that like Soundcloud itās not self-sustaining (marginal storefront on the internet is a tough place to be), but I canāt piece together what Epic is doing. I suppose this is better than a music site buying it; hopefully they can let it linger under a patrician neglect.
Epic has been buying up art tools for the past few years just as Unity and Adobe are doing the same. Itās early to tell, but so far their stewardship has not led to outward rot. Unreal the tool is better-developed and under better communication and responsiveness to user needs than itās ever been; at least, at this point, they still make good software.
he always smelled off to me (is there a term for this? white supremacist smell?), though yeah, I found his speedrunning retrospectives were compelling enough to stick out the discomfort (can only think of a few gaming youtubers I know who donāt give off the smell, so, used to it I guess?)
either way I dunno if this is all of it (hearing he covers his tracks well) but I found one image of him Nobly Intellectualizing on racial discourse in the discord with that guy RWhiteGoose
new to posting here, donāt feel super comfortable directly linking images with n-words and their various accoutrements (not that I ever imagine I would be), happy to provide link in PM if desired
The bandcamp employees got good health insurance out of the deal at least
Epic is preparing to make endless versions of Rock Band and Fuser by giving access to everything on Bandcamp
obviously.
no, I donāt know what copyright is
re: Karl Jobst
Hes a former pick up artists entrepreneur at the very least

haha I love how informative his videos are but I hate what a 12 year old boy he is
he got mixed up with rgwhitegoose but he cut him off years ago and seems way less of an asshole now. his video response to getting ācanceledā made me respect him more (I mean as far as you tubers go, who are bottom of the barrel)
but heās still just some white dude who likes shitty games who doesnāt have his head up his own ass about fame as summoning salt and uses more than ONE SONG (Jesus christ summoning salt what happened) so I watch his vids sometimes. the tricks in that ff7 one are GREAT
he also did a bunch of reporting on Apollo legend who killed himself after billy Mitchell sued him to oblivion (I donāt think Apollo legend is a great guy but the way that Mitchell uses litigation is so evil) so he knows all the shit heads
Bandcampās iOS app doesnāt actually let you buy music because of non-compete stuff with iTunes, so I suspect their mutual animosity with Apple brought them together.
Appleās 30% cut makes any store program non-feasible on iOS, itās so bad
on my other post i was semi-jokingly like
and then immediately after the Epic/Bandcamp stuff happened and my day got actually ruined.
yeah my impression of KJ just ended up being that heās kind of an obnoxious STEM-lord who has been aligned with worse people before but heās not like actively an alt-right/white supremacist type and his channel doesnāt reference that kind of stuff even obliquely (beyond the āiām being cancelledā video) so whatever. i just try and take this stuff for what it is i suppose.
posting to say iām sad about that bandcamp news
For a long while now I have avoided anyone that has gotten a certain level of popularity because I just assume if youāre internet famous then you have to be either attracting a bad audience too or you donāt say anything that would scare those people away. I donāt know how unfair that is, but the end result is that the only channels Iām subscribed to on youtube are Japanese fighting game match videos (except I guess for one channel that pivoted from fighting game videos to vtuber clips at some point).
Relayer by Kadokawa Games has a demo up in English on PSN now. Itās always looked like a copy of Super Robot Wars, but Kadokawa has the capacity to make some really ambitious and weird SRPGs that are kind of low budget, like Natural Doctrine. I donāt know if this is one of them, but it might be worth checking out if youāre into SRW knock-offs. Kadokawa also give full dubs to the localization of their games that no one buys.
This trailer feels like itās from 20 years ago, which describes the general feel of their previous games Natural Doctrine and God Wars. So good on them for keeping on keeping on, I guess.
Why is that a yikes?
