hey Alex just say "yes" if you mean "yes" when Dan and Vinny ask a question about F&F

this "maybe" stuff is ridiculous

Maybe doesn't work when everything you say maybe to is actually what happens.

He should be like Jeff and just tell them to watch the fucking movie and find out in ten seconds.

Kind of weirdsies that Drew didn't do any sort of update for Alt+F1 listeners about the status of the pod.

Also weird that last ep they were talking about being on the verge of getting ads and then a week later he said he was going to bounce.
The update will come. Danny said Jeff allows them to post an info cast with new URL to the Alt+F1 feed.

Anything worthwhile come out of the latest UPF? Can't be bothered to watch it anymore unless I happen to catch it live.

Brad seemed more animated than recent weeks which was nice but nothing super noteworthy, kind of samey looking indie games. Good background listening if anything.

Is UPF so bad these days that our enjoyment is contingent upon whether or not Brad seems conscious in it?

It's really putting me off how smug the male Ryder seems in ME:A. Maybe no thanks to the animations, but his constant smirking and bargain bin Nathan Drake delivery is brutal to watch.

Edit; Also this video makes me realize I much prefer Alex's approach to quick looks, like most recently with Nier. It really felt like he was showing the game off and talking through the mechanics from a position of authority and running through an agenda that best exemplified that stuff. Meanwhile the Mass Effect video is kind of meandering and unfocused which is kind of annoying considering how many questions I have about it.

This is way off-topic, but this is why I fucking hated Laura Roslin in Battlestar Galactica. Every time she's on camera, she has this fucking smirk on her face and she comes off as so sanctimonious and so smug and everyone seems to love her and I can't fucking understand it and ugh.

Zooey deshblahblah does the same thing in new girl and I can't stand it. Like why are you smiling while delivering this line, youre not supposed to be smiling given this current situation, this isn't funny, I hate that show.

I'm going to be very happy when they learn the different Mr Shakdowns' backstories.

Also Yakuza 0 will totally take them 30+ episodes at the pace they're going. We won't be seeing credits for a while like half a year. That said I still hope they at least complete one of the businesses. They're timesinks but the reward is worth all of it and then some.
 
Fantastic BITE episode.
That statue side quest
is one of my favorites. So glad they did it and dammit VINNY, gotta put White Flag in my head again. Just last week or so I tried brainwashing myself from it after hearing it while I was out shopping for shoes.

Oh boy, them Mass Effect scores. All this time for an average to good game which is a shame because they could have gone all out. Like, looking for new home worlds in a desperate attempt sounds great but the tone, animation and writing is just all over the place. I love sci-fi so this sucks BUT I'm looking forward to CD Project's game.

Is Trico the boy or the chimera?

Chimera.

I mean, Helmut Kruger is in a game where breaking the AI is fun, Trico is from a game where the AI is just broken all the time and frustrating.

I don't know if we were playing the same game because while Trico sometimes doesn't do what you want, for the most part he's a good pet assuming you don't spam commands. Most of why that game works is because of Trico, his A.I and that most people bought into him or else the entire game fails(which it didn't).

The suicide mission in 2 was cool.

The loyalty missions were cool. The launch trailer was cool. Many things about 2 were cool even though it strayed off it's RPG roots.

Agreed completely. There was only one instance where I was frustrated with Trico's AI and felt like it wasn't working correctly
diving into the water to go in the underwater passage
. Other than that Trico pretty much did whatever I ordered him to. It worked really well for me.

Yeah, was probably going to do it soon anyway, but time to call it a day on Danny's Patreon.

Meanwhile he's out there re-tweeting a trans dev who's spent the last hour admonishing the industry's show of support for Colin. Really made a home for himself on that fence.

I can picture TLG being a game that I appreciate from a distance but never actually get around to playing. Kind of came and went in a similar fashion as FFXV, for me.

That sucks, maybe a spine is one of the higher-tier goals.

This made me check Drew and luckily he is as clean as a skyrim face mod.

His whole trying to please everyone thing gets a bit old, but I still like the guy and find him entertaining. That's one problem with Patreon. One comment risks alienating an entire side of your fanbase which directly leads to lost money. One comment while working for a company probably isn't gonna kill you when you're getting paid by salary.

I usually really hate that "by association" shit but that made me cringe a bit

like I can understand Greg Miller since eventhough he disagrees with him, they're friend and roommates first... but Danny pls

Yup, time to stop pledging. Either way he'll live, and maybe he might read the reasons for my cancellation.
 
What has Colin said that makes Danny supporting him so off-putting?

Colin is like a 4channer who does it for the 'lulz'. Whether it's riling up women for the 'lulz' or liberal causes, he's a 1 trick pony.

He left Kinda Funny because his last 'for the lulz' actions well, put KF in a bad light. He hides behind his ideology, but really he's just scum like the rest of them.

The cabaret is so damn good but yeah they'll never put all the time into it.

I was thinking maybe a side stream or something where they just grind away at it for a bit, but even then it took me quite a few hours including all the hostess training sessions and customizing and shit.

Real estate is something they could do while banging out sidequests since it's more or less a clicker. The unlock is better too IMO,
that one Majima heat action aside.
