That second paragraph reads like a genuine slop-tier YouTube short you’d hear someone blasting next to you at half volume in public.
Narrated by an unnaturally upbeat and grating TTS voice, of course.

That’s funny to read. I remember loving Odyssey because I never felt too punished for not having amazing video game dexterity. I felt like I had a ton of objectives that went up in difficulty in a very linear way and eventually got 100% on everything.
Even the very very last section, with a string of bosses that I found pretty damn near impossible, was surmountable. As someone with no interest in HP-sponge boss games, it was the part that I felt was the most frustrating. But enough rounds and I got better/lucky and finished that section.
What’s also funny about “articles” like this is that the author, like most of us, has probably spent hours as a kid trying to beat one level. Usually nowadays I feel bored after less than an hour of repeating and failing the same objective. I have way less time and patience for hard games. So I do sympathize a little. Bloodborne’s an intriguing game but I’m not going to torture myself over it.
Yeah I don’t even know why I wrote that. I think I mean something more like general audiences that are likely to find more points in common with the opinions on the show than points they’d object to.
People who don’t view themselves as political? Not sure.
A large swath of people will think you’re overreacting if you say something like “Joe Rogan is putting a friendly face on disastrous misinformation for millions of trusting listeners all over the world.” or its much milder cousin “This guy has uncritically nodded along to a lot of bullshit his friends have said on air, I can’t listen to this anymore, I think it’s weird that you still do.”
Nothing says free thinker like having very particular opinions on irrelevant US current events from across the planet that just so happen to line up with one of the most famous corporate mouthpieces since Oprah.
Never got into Splatoon but it looked like great fun and kind of perfect for low-stakes competition.
Fucks sake Nintendo
I’ve been thinking on this a lot. It’s genuinely amazing and deeply disturbing how innocuous he seems to people who aren’t aware of what he actually is.
I think he’s been able to market himself to his most ideologically aligned audience as a smaller deal than he really is, despite having the highest-possible profile guests on his show.
For better or for worse this man and his show will be studied for years to come. As someone who was an occasional listener back before the mask-off phase I have so many thoughts on the guy.
I was intrigued by this channel back when I was vaguely interested in geopolitics on a surface level but before I really started learning about history. Think Paradox player level interest in history.
When the 2022 round of fighting started between Armenia and Azerbaijan I was pretty appalled at this channel’s coverage. I’m Lebanese so I’ll definitely have a bias in that conflict as well, but it was pretty blatant and unapologetic. That half video was probably the last I’ve seen from them.
Just to get the point across, a nickname for the club is SS Nazio. This guy is not even the worst I’ve seen from them, not by a long shot.
I’ve been put off by antics like this for a long time before “discovering” football. It turns out this sport is great fun to follow. Being so universal though, a lot of what you’ll find online trying to keep up with it is content made by and made for the absolute dregs of society.
I’ve always been pleasantly surprised at the cute little old towns in unexpected US areas that Geoguessr has thrown me into. A lot of stuff in states that I’ve always assumed had nothing like that, as a non American. Like I couldn’t tell you a thing about Arkansas even if I tried.
Makes one wonder what that country would look like if they kept the old city planning philosophy. Imagine if this stayed in fashion instead of endless toilet paper construction ranch houses.
Looking for angel investors for my new business idea: if we offer the lowest pizza down-payments in town, we can edge everyone else out of the market by 2034 and be the market leader!
This is probably the most succinct example of why rich weirdos and “libertarians” actually don’t hate the government and taxation and instead love it, to make them more money using the unwasheds’ taxes.
What else would a giant organization exist for?
