Puerto Rico is part of America boo.

Y'all need to become the 51st state already.

 

[Jobbs]

I had a dream that incorporated this. my life is so empty

hahaha

I have dumb dreams too, if it makes you feel better, I had a dream about jim sterling the other day for some reason

Do you have tinnitus?

I think that's what they call it, yeah. sucks!

 

[AcridMeat]

yeah that's pretty cool but my first woman tattoo will be princess Leia, it's already been decided.

I like his face at the seagulls part.

Leia in that style would look cool as heck. Have her holding up a laser pistol with the smoke trailing.

Friend was posting a bunch on her tumblr. Gonna list some that were so damn cool with how they incorporated color.
Super Duper Cool
Pretty
This one is gorgeous.
Holy fug awesome.

edit: This is the one that sent me down this path.

Puerto Rico is part of America boo. As for paying to go there depends on how good are you.

Never touched a man before and quite frankly maybe you shouldn't put TOO much hope in me

Y'all need to become the 51st state already.

Puerto Rico the last time they checked was ok with becoming a state but this turning into state means US would have to work on more things than what they currently do for PR right now. Also now with the big debt Puerto Rico is on right now is also extra work to deal with and US already said they were not dealing with that. It's an odd situation really.

Well I wouldnt go there just to live there. Think of it as a vacation and you being able to experiment things you might be curious about with someone who knows you're inexperienced and patient knowing maybe not a lot might happen

Woah....
These speak directly to my tattoo interests.

Especially that last one. The detail on that flower is unreal.

Right? It's amazing. Friend was finding tattoo examples for her friend's next one. She wants to incorporate her grandma's favorite flower with a triangle/shape.

Same here. The great thing about tattrx is you can search by artists in your area too.

I'm so sorry. Jim Sterling is the worst thing to happen to online video game criticism. Super entitled, can't talk without making a nasally squeal, and treats his opinions as facts even though he has objectively bad taste and has celebrated this dissonance in the past (such as his adoration for Dynasty Warriors). Then there's the obnoxious set dressing so if some of his shitty humor doesn't land (read: most of it) then you can just play it off as part of the gag and it's therefore shielded from criticism. He toes the line of parody while actually crossing it and being just as bad as the stuff he's ostensibly parodying more often than not.

But people are bitter about stuff and he puts on a good show (if you go for that sort of thing) so they gobble it up.

I have a headache. You all know why.

I am not touching beer until Friday.

Good thing is that we have a day off tomorrow

I mainly like him because he knocked the shit out of Starsuck Zero and cleverly subverted Content ID in the same video. I had no strong opinion before that.

Now on a serious note if you do try experimenting make sure the guy is understanding that you are inexperience and to take it easy on you. Afterall making the first experience as pleasant as possible would be nice but if you go for a random guy who simply want to run a train at 100 mph in your first experience and it will probably not be as enjoyable as it could be.

Also if you plan on bottoming look stuff online on how to get prepared for it. Alternatively you could buy a sex toy and practice on that before moving to the real thing.

The Content ID thing is so incredibly awful. Like I get that YouTube's system has needed work (and may still need work), but blatantly stealing from someone and then gloating about it as if you're some kind of mastermind makes me hope that YouTube comes down hard on him.

Jim Sterling makes his living from YouTube. There's no question about that. Yet he has the gall to disable ads and only take money from Patreon supporters, ensuring that the very platform he needs to distribute his content sees virtually no compensation for it (I'm assuming his audience is savvy enough to use AdBlock and too cheap for YouTube Red). His entire existence on the internet is leeching off of other content and platforms.

 

[Jobbs]

I have no hangover because I didn't drink anything! I feel like I could take on the whole empire myself.

If I'm filled with rage right now it's because I'm trying to draw and it all sucks

Content ID is broken and it should be exploited so they fix it.

If it makes you feel any better, he fell off a roof in my dream. I don't know if he's dead, and I don't think there's any way at this point to find out.

Same. It's mostly just choosing what alcohol you consume though. Cheap alcohol will result in a bad hangover.

The problem with Content ID is it prohibits clear cases of fair use, and I'd argue that what Jim Sterling was doing (using footage for a review) is fair use.

You said he was "blatantly stealing content" -- I don't see it that way, at least, not in this example. I am not a Jim Sterling expert, so I don't know what he's done in the past, but in this case I just don't agree.

Let's plays of entire games are arguably less reasonable. I can't tell you how many times I've talked to someone who knows everything about The Last of Us and has seen the entire thing but never played it. That seems wrong, but apparently some publishers think it's to their benefit to not fight it.

I can be Anastasio Steele and you can be my Christina Grey. Instead of sex we would be just making pancakes and sandwiches.

I think its not weird but I wouldnt go completely on deal breaker. If the guy is completely different personality wise, you actually like him and has a nickname use that instead of his name lol.

Its more weird when they have the same name as you tbh.

I dated briefly a girl with my mom's name. it was honestly a little weird but it's not a deal breaker. her being an insufferable **** was the deal breaker.

 

[trab pu kcip]

yeah you're right. I'll have to come up with a nickname. still a weird coincidence. more of an oldfashioned name.

Finally someone else who has a distaste for him. Gaming side seems to adore him for some reason. He's a yahtzee wannabe and I've actually had some interaction with him after he dissed the bureau.

I'll see if I can find that thread sometime

You said he was "blatantly stealing content" -- I don't see it that way, at least, not in this example. I am not a Jim Sterling expert, so I don't know what he's done in the past, but in this case I just don't agree.

I can't tell you how many times I've talked to someone who knows everything about The Last of Us and has seen the entire thing but never played it. That seems wrong, but apparently some publishers think it's to their benefit to not fight it.

I agree that walkthroughs of a game fall far outside fair use, but I would let the publishers continue to be the ones who decide whether that's something they want to try and stop or not. I feel like we need something along the lines of the GNU Public License and its contemporaries for companies who want to let their games be watched for free but not played for free, and then if a game isn't released under that license people who make walkthroughs of games should have to get express permission.

I also think it'd be appropriate for YouTube to develop an income sharing model for game playing so that publishers who want to leverage it are allowed to. Obviously it would need to work better than the current Content ID program so that games aren't being claimed by people who have no right to them


With regards to Jim's video, the main purpose was to disable advertisements on his videos by ripping unrelated (not fair use) material and putting it in his video. That's textbook copyright infringement, and he even says so. He doesn't want ads on his video because they're annoying. But so what? Ads are how YouTube makes money. If he doesn't want YouTube to make any money off of his content then he should host it somewhere else more generous.

Maybe YouTube needs to knock on Patreon's door and work out a deal where Patreon-supported channels with high-traffic content have to kick back some funds in return for guaranteed ad-free viewing. Well, except in the case of legitimate copyright claims.


I don't know. The whole thing is obviously very complicated. I just don't think it's a good look to gloat about copyright infringement.

I think it's defiance that is, at least to some degree, understandable. He wanted to review a Nintendo game, but because Nintendo is very aggressive on this thing, you can't do it unless you either don't show the game you're discussing, or agree to let Nintendo monetize your work for themselves. Neither seems like a great option, so instead he threw a wrench into the entire works. I'm not saying it's right, but I'm saying I can understand it.

Can we at least agree that StarFox Zero is junk and Miyamoto needs to -- REALLY needs to finally be put out to pasture? Let the kids who made Splatoon take over already.
