Missed the point

Zachary Williams

Without doubt, the best ending to an episode yet 🤣

Mark Lee

First off, you’re not dealing with a “JK Rowling is Hitler” person. I’m just sympathetic to the cause. She participates in trans fear mongering. Fear that your child may be tempted by these ideas or that a predatory man will use trans-ness as a shield to enter the spaces of women. Fear that women as a concept could be rendered meaningless. She wrote a whole book about a male cross dressing killer, maybe just a coincidence but seems a little fishy. Is it that different from what any other conservative commentator is saying about trans people? Probably not. But Tucker Carlson didn’t write the biggest young adult book and movie franchise of all time, so the outsized response towards JK makes a little more sense. (125 words) It may not be tweet length, but brevity doesn’t equal truth

Then why can't anyone tell me what it is without posting 500 words and links to 90 minute videos? I'll give you an example. "What did Hitler do?" "He killed millions of innocent people, declared war on numerous countries, and undertook a bloody pursuit of world conquest." Now you go: What did JK Rowling say or do? Be that succinct.

Colin Moriarty

They did great.

Colin Moriarty

I wouldn't use The Gamer's anything for anything, but I do sincerely appreciate the warning. <3

Colin Moriarty

Thank you.

Colin Moriarty

Colin Moriarty

Easy Allies seems to be falling off a cliff, so they should probably focus on games.

Colin Moriarty

Ukraine defending itself is great, I agree. No issue with that at all.

Colin Moriarty

I must have missed that when I was writing notes.

Colin Moriarty

I've heard this before, but then was told I was wrong so I stopped parroting it. Glad to know I was in fact correct.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you.

Hey I don’t really care about boycotts or Hog Leg, but Colin has been peddling this “go find it because its not there” narrative with JK Rowling and it’s just incredibly moronic. I’m not saying there’s UNIVERSAL outrage or that everyone’s in agreement on this, but if you want to find things she has said that offends or is derogatory towards the trans community, it’s just incredibly easy. If you want to say that YOU agree with her and see nothing wrong I mean fine I guess I’m not gonna convince you, but the fallacy that the opposite side has NOTHING to base their frustrations on is just misinformation. Don’t let annoying Twitter people send you into an, equally bad, opposite reaction. That’s my advice for today.

Flying Wild Hog had a nice 2022. Trek To Yomi was pretty solid too.

I hear you. If a Russian soldier has any decency, they would desert en masse. I just mean to have some sympathy for non-soldiers who don’t get news of the reality, and are ignorant. The minimum dignified thing a Russian civilian could do is work hard to escape the propaganda and uncover the truth. And the most dignified thing would be to protest and revolt—which at least a few are coming somewhat close to doing. But for those that understand the injustice in the war, Colin asks what do I expect them to do if speaking the truth is illegal? I’m asking them to break the law and speak anyway. Such people are remembered as heroes, in the fullness of time.

I'm also $1 tier and sometimes the posts don't appear in the order they go live. Sometimes I'll find Knockback or a spoilercast several items down even though it is the newest thing to go live.

Kyle Fox

Heads up Colin, don’t use The Gamer’s guide for Persona 5 Royal when you eventually start your playthrough. As nicely laid out as it is, it’s riddled with errors that only become apparent 4 months into the games calendar, avoid.

Joshua Brown

Great episode boys

Connor Galbraith

I have a feeling that J. K. Rowling talking about the fact that women are menstruating, and a country murdering thousands of civilians, a lot of those kids, are KIND OF NOT THAT QUITE SIMILAR when it comes to reasons for not buying a game.

Germanos

Thank you for this, while I honestly cannot be this sympathetic with the Russian people as you are. I'm from Poland. I see and talk to the Ukrainian mothers, that I meet at kindergartens or playgrounds. Russian soldiers are animals. Raping, stealing and murdering whatever catches their eye. I hope my kinds grow up not hating people from Russia, but for me: either you protest against Putin or are in jail for it.

Germanos

Yeah I can't see Easy allies covering Hogwarts legacy, since they have a trans person on the team. How did games journalism get this bad and everyone seem to have a hive mind thinking of the same way

Zack Fair

I’m sympathetic to the Russian people, and the developers pf Atomic Heart. That said, Ukraine defending themselves is good. Having the means and will to defend your own lands is good, not bad. It would be one thing if they, like, wanted to surrender. But they want to not live under a tyrant. And while us supporting that is a big investment, it is relatively minuscule compared to our budget, or even out own defense spending. And also, we’re not neutral—Putin hates us, and would escalate to war with the west if he had the power. Doing nothing sometimes is an action in itself.

Walt Duncan

Did Colin say that they DON'T run into the people on the side of the road to say no to? Because they most certainly do

Hey CDC, I work for a biotech company. Male baldness is mostly inherited from the X Chromosome (your mother) so you father is not always the best indicator on the likelihood you will be bald. Nothing is guaranteed of course, and yes hair transplants have come a long way recently. Most medical studies of medicines and creams to prevent baldness are not promising. They seem to slow the process of balding but do not prevent it.

Thank you, Dustin. I just noticed that, for some reason, my last Patreon charge was in April 2022. How the hell did I continue seeing everything (in due time) that you guys do for paying customers only until now? Very weird. But I'm happy to reactivate my membership. Again, thank you for your reply.

Diego Muñoz

It's been live for the $1 tier for a few days now. -Dustin

Dustin Furman

Guys, I'm at the $1 tier and I still don't see the SS+ episode about the pilot episode of TLOU HBO show. When does it go live for us? Thanks!

Diego Muñoz

Lmfao, whoever edited that ending 😂😂😂😂 your work is impeccable

Everything Meraz

$50m, apparently, which is hard to believe.

Colin Moriarty

That is pretty astonishing about The Calisto Protocol. Didn't Horizon Zero Dawn cost not that much to make also? I almost shit the floor when the show ended like it did! Brilliant. Is this the first show where Chris didn't say "Take Care Guys" when appearing on it?
