You know it's bad if Jeff said something

You should just know it's bad

 

[Intheflorsh]

Jeff is a good dude.

 

[PurpleMoustache]

Jeff is a good dude.

Jeff likes the old games, so you know that's true.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Jeff is a good dude in spite of liking the old games.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

It's always good to see the people you support are actually good people.

 

[Master_Funk]

As a Muslim , very happy that Jeff commented on it. Also super happy that Muslim wrestlers like Sami Zayn are commenting on it, despite their boss being bests buds with that piece of shit .

yeah like jontron

NOT like jontron

Austin and Alex have also been putting in good work with this stuff over the past week or so, as you might expect.

 

[broncobuster]

I'm kinda shocked because of how most of the crew strays away from political discussion. Glad to see him posting about it though.

I think a lot this stuff transcend standard political discussion to being about human decency and the lack of it in the current administration.

 

[Giganteus]

Did half of you perceive Jeff as a conservative, or something? So many "Good job, Jeff!" and "Jeff is guuuud" over a common sense statement that he would obviously hold the opinion of. Could some of you sound any more patronizing? Good christ almighty what a bundle of dorks.

It's more that it's always seemed that Jeff has been very adamant about not talking about any of that stuff so it's cool to see him speaking out

Yep. This is definitely the hill to die on right now. Keep fighting the good fight.

This is such a weird thing to get upset about.

No one's dying on a hill, but it's funny to me how people treat Jeff sometimes. This isn't the first time.

Giant Bomb, and the personalities that make up its staff, by and large avoids political commentary. The fact that staff members are recognising the situation that the country is in and are being vocal about it is worthy of comment and praise.

Thank you for your concern, though.

he normally doesn't express political views, so

also, lmao calling us patronising

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Good christ almighty what a bundle of dorks.

Hi and welcome to the thread. Great to have you here

 

[Giganteus]

I'm not upset. It was more lighthearted than it sounded. Sorry, folks.

It is nice to see, because as you said, they normally avoid it, true. Just seeing a bunch of "good jobs" with little else in the way of substance... Eh, whatever. No biggie.

 

[robotrock]

He doesn't have to say anything, but glad he did. he has my appreciation

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Jeff seems like a good person.

Any luck with the witness?

You know, if you add -steamvr in the launch options, you may be surprised

 

[Lunar FC]

That tweet deserved my first ever duder retweet.

I haven't booted it up again. I was going to check out Please Don't Touch Anything 3D in VR before bed.

I thought the -vr flag for the Witness no longer worked? SleepingLesson tried it, I believe.

Totally worked on my CV1 back in May or June. No biggie though that VR support was bad

 

[bomma_man]

it's been how long? a week? and america looks like it's on the verge of ripping itself apart

you go, jeff

It's gone from 0 to Kristallnacht in like a week

 

[Mr. F]

Watching UPF now, someone describing it as ambien in the GB comments wasn't toooo far off

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Just more confirmation this is one of the most trying times this country is undergoing and definately the most pathetic.

There was a ton of interesting site talk in that! It was like the old Dave call-in shows (but with 100% less Fungineer though).

I dunno, I just heard another "price of VR being the barrier to entry" question and my eyes rolled back into my head.

edit; ok ok it got a fair bit better, just a boring start.

Ahhahaha. What a weirdo.

 

[Giganteus]

Ahhahaha. What a weirdo.

Some might say a bit of a dork, even.

 

[avengers23]

Man this was the last thread on GAF which didn't bring up Trump... keep politics out of my gaming and Giant Bomb, man!

I just watched Part 9 of This is The Run, great stuff. Some of the facial expressions were brilliant. Fantastic last two minutes too!

Now to watch the Resi 7 QL.

Nah, friend.

 

[petethepanda]

what a couple fucking days this has been. jesus.

anyway.

this is the run has been a blast. glad to have two entries to catch up on tonight.

Edit: "You dancin' up there, Vinny?" "Oh yeah. Oh you know I'm dancin'." My heart needed this today, lol

 

[Antiwhippy]

So out of curiousity I looked at metal gear rising's review and none of them mentioned the music in any way? What?

didn't come up during 2013's GOTY award podcasts too. i think jeff was the only person on staff who actually played it.

imo it should have the same DOOM argument, as in it makes the game way better by being there.

First, let me quote this:

Did half of you perceive Jeff as a conservative, or something? So many "Good job, Jeff!" and "Jeff is guuuud" over a common sense statement that he would obviously hold the opinion of. Could some of you sound any more patronizing? Good christ almighty what a bundle of dorks.

Second, let me say this:
Good on you Jeff!
I love you!
Everyone should speak out about the atrocities that are happening in the US right now!

 

[pizzacat]

I just got called a Stockholm syndrome man for loving jeff and now everyone loves jeff 😢

You can still hate Vinny by yourself at least.

Jeff gertsmann threat status?

[Ashby]

People want their the Giant Bomb member they don't like to be a Trump supporter so they can justify not liking that duder when in reality none of them do. Very strange.

Pretty sure the Trump thing has always been just a meme, at least in this thread.

Ryan hates Bread, Cara is the new hire, Brad is leaving

 

[Captain Fish]

I still remember that one cast where Jeff couldn't help but talk about how shitty politics were around trump when they were talking about the Oculus guy. He seemed disgusted by it then and I'm not at all surprised by this, but it is nice to see people speaking out when they usually don't.

Basically,

Jeff Gerstmann threat status?

Spoiler

Still

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I wonder if Jeff has been playing RE7

I've been meaning to talk about it but y'know

 

[Hindl]

I don't like to bring up politics, but one really just fishy part of this is apparently Muslim countries that Trump has business deals with are apparently exempt from this ban. That's a conflict of interests if I ever saw one.

There's also the part where the four countries where the 9/11 bombers were from (you know, the actual terrorist attack on American soil that this is targeted at) are exempt from the ban

Really enjoyed that game.

He didn't seem so hot on it from UPF.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Yeah. I love how it's a sort of new age RE. Instead of armor keys, there's crow keys, and the way that is represented in game is just genius. So good.

fun fact:There was a comic in the 30's called 'Scoop Scanlon'. In a past life Drew was known as Scoops?
