Hot takes

Man i suppose only the Levant and Italy can cook in this world anyone else can't cook for shit

there's bad cooks everywhere.
and a lot of dishes that are popular or well known in different aren't guaranteed to be known in other parts of the world. i doubt most british people have ever had a hot dog, and the guy in the video not knowing how to open the bun isn't that surprising.

British people......largest empire in the world and some boring looking food.

I agree on bad cooks it's just typical elitism on my part

Thats why you shouldn't watch people trying forgien food they might butcher it first time.

they've gotten a lot better with their food. the bland looking food stuff was a result of a food shortage and "doing what they can with what they got" to use a slightly altered quote from my favorite movie.

on the contrary, watching the man with the couch check out various food items form around the world is one of the best things to see on the internet.

Religion should be abolished, regardless of cultural significance.

People who like super cooked, dry egg yolks should be exiled to an island.

I'll even go further and saying that music as a whole has lost something with the MP4 players, mainly the iPod because of the way it changed the entire music industry.

Carrying a Walkman with a cassette was different than having a device with 8 Go of .MP4s.

Agreed, it was more focused solely on you, and the music you selected with walkmans and CD players. Once MP4s came around it kind of became another way to measure dicks. "I've got 5000 songs and I listen to 10" doing that really exemplified the whole it being a fashion statement I mentioned before.

That's a bit harsh. All religions are flawed. Most have a lot of truth still embedded in them. I don't follow any religion. There is a Creator of all this, imo (it couldn't be otherwise).

On the egg yolks, I agree wholeheartedly.

You're meant to drift in almost every corner in that game.

Even cute games can have dark themes.

I know, i was mostly referring to when I dont have to drift

Wrong side of the tracks (gta San Andreas mission) is actually easy it's just that people have a legitimate skill issue.


Why is it that YouTubers always miss obvious stuff?

People who use guides for everything make me wonder are they even playing the game? I just find having to look up something to tell you what to do isn't so fun......it's always the case with puzzles in horror games people just watch a YT video and BAM puzzle solved like what did you do to solve it? You didn't do anything......man people don't know how to play sometimes like play the damn game and use the tools given to you skillfully and you will be fine is that too hard?

youtubers miss stuff because they are trying to be entertaining and focus on the game. something is going to slip by no matter how good they are.

sometimes puzzles are not very simple. i saw this in a rerez video about one of the tiny toons video games. the puzzle was obvious in hindsight, but it's hard because there isn't anything obvious or intuitive to lead you to the answer.

a lot of people do try to do the puzzle by themselves, but you do reach a point where you say "fuck it" and look to see if anyone else has done it.

They just miss some pretty like really very obvious details but i suppose you right.

Well i expect a game to be designed by professionals who know how to leave sensible clues that eventually lead to solving the puzzle.

Guess not everyone is patient to spend hours on a puzzle

yes, i am right. i watched the game grumps. they missed some very obvious stuff while playing games.

you'd think that, but they don't always do that. the puzzle i saw in that tiny toons game rewards you with a piece of paper to unlock a locker. the paper is inside of a film reel canister; which you open by going to the tennis court and using the can opener there to open the film reel canister. the hint is that you have a "can"ister and the tennis court has a "can" opener.

no, not everyone is going to spend hours on a puzzle. a lot of people do not have patience.

There's a puzzle in the first professor layton game where the answer is a date and you must format it in a very specific way to get a pass rather than a failure.

Well I am not a fan of Persona, Assassin Creed, The Last of Us, Nier (expect the ps3 one) Bayonetta, Xenoblade, and Shin Negami Tensei.

 

[vergil_heinlein]

Mega Man X6 is a good game.

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

Kind of why i hardly watch gameplay videos i would spend the video correcting the player lol

Yeah that sounds a little too specific with a strange hint.

no, not everyone is going to spend hours on a puzzle. a lot of people do not have patience.

I know this is for the joke but I feel like many gamers have a false sense of honour when most people around that don't play game wouldn't care that much.

I mean yeah only those who game would care?

I won't insult anybody who has fun with video games because it's a hobby like music and movies.

On the other hand if someone, in society, is bragging about finishing Dark Souls in SL1 or any other "hard" tasks in video games, I am pretty sure many normal people (well, people not used to video games outside of the mainstream news or mobile ones) would see that person as a weirdly obsessed adult that doesn't always take a shower.

Somebody who won a sport competition or had helped science would be socially seen as a better person fundamentally speaking.

PS: It pains me to admit but people trying hard to make video games a "legitimate art form" (by making hours long analysis about Zelda or pseudo deep indie games) are making me loathe them more than people who just sees them as a hobby or entertainment.

I understand this take. But for me, the "are videogames art?" argument is solved pretty easily.

- Video games are comprised of various types of art created by artists.
- These works of art form a cohesive artistic work in the form of a playable game.

So you're saying it's an amalgamation?

I'd say that video game music and artworks can be art. Not the games per se.

Either way, many times I see people trying to convince that "video game is art" I mostly see either pseudo-intellectualism or desperation to make their hobby more legitimate.

Even people that love watching movies are trying hard to tell they're true appreciator by looking "artsy" movies while mocking people that liked the latest MCU.

Partly I chalk this up to passion, partly grifting through persuasion. If someone wants to make a living via YouTube, and all their content revolves around one topic, they're gonna try elevate that topic to make it seem like it's the most important thing in the world, and that their opinion on the subject is close to gospel.

Even people that love watching movies are trying hard to tell they're true appreciator by looking "artsy" movies while mocking people that liked the latest MCU.

All creative output is art imo. Any film, song, drawing, painting etc. None is greater or less than another. How the work impacts the beholder is totally subjective and dependent on artist intent, intended audience, the critic's mood for the day....It all seems very relative to me.
