I feel like this would be the thing to dethrone UPF on the content chart

I seriously can't even enjoy this absurdity anymore since he mentioned being diagnosed as pre-diabetic...a year ago?
Yeah yeah, he got married at a Taco Bell, but I thought we were still in the age of New Dan until today when he mentioned having gone years without eating a plain fruit or vegetable and regularly eating Marie Calendar's microwave dinners.
Oh.
End of the world. The group at fault may surprise you: Millennials
Brad Solo streams are low-key the best #content
yeah but if you don't swallow the gumballs you're not eating any sugar

It's always the generation after the one you're in that ruins everything.

For a guy in his early 30s Dan's carefree attitude about his health issues is worrisome tbh. Dude has fucked up eyesight, fucked up feet, and is pre-diabetic and almost comes across as bragging about it. I only hope that's just shtick and he's low key taking care of all that shit.

just wanna say this post is insanely entitled and delusional and you should probably seek something that brings you joy rather than watching something you hate

More like TheOldMan007 amirite?
Yeah he's still young enough where he can get away with it, but pretty soon this stuff is gonna start snowballing and he's gonna be really fucked up. And by pretty soon I'm not talking about late 40s and 50s, but more like 3-4 years from now
But I don't understand Portugese. The podcast would be difficult to understand.
fixed for giant bomb

Their Dora the Explorer video series was the WORST.
I'd watch a Film & 40s: Dora the Explorer

It's find not to like features. I think this critique is a little disingenuous. I mean, how would you like them to go in depth about the game? Because they talk about it a fair bit and try to figure out some of the puzzle solutions together. Also would that make you watch the series? I also don't think it's background noise because it has already had a lot of moments that are only really funny when you see what happens on screen. I'd argue UPF and Blue Bombing are features that you can put on and have a podcasty experience.
I think this criticism doesn't hold any weight either. GB was made as a personality driven site. They've always featured Youtube style content from let's plays to Drew's reaction to eating fermented fish, they built their identity around Youtube styled content much more than a site like 1up who handled personality driven content in a much more produced way.
I think the reason people get annoyed by the criticism here is because it often just comes down to "I don't like so and so" with nothing constructive. I think the site offers a far more diverse range of content than it's ever has before, if you don't see enough of what you like why not talk about things you'd like to see or just unsub?
Milenials are crap just sounds like a personal attack to me so it sits poorly.

They should start Euro Giant Bomb, where it's almost like Giant Bomb, but not as good and everyone knows it.

From the personality he puts out there, it seems like he's going to need a major wake up call in the form of a diagnosis or ER visit before he starts changing his lifestyle. I hope it's all an act for his sake.

I haven't liked much of what they've done recently (some shorter content would be okay once in awhile. Not everything needs to be a 2+ hours long let's play. TiTR was perfect for that), so I've gone back to playing video games. Ori is a pretty good game.
I'm honestly worried that even a full blown diabetes diagnosis won't stop it. Like, I'd think he'd have to get diabetes and then like a year later a doctor says "We're going to have to amputate your foot in like a month if you don't stop this" in order to change

If it's an act then he should drop it because it's not funny or cute in that "Oh, Dan..." way. I'm surprised he didn't straight up get food poisoning after that alleged giant meal and then a pound of candy from the last Beastcast.
Dude should get a physical or a blood test. Turn that around.

He's a grown ass man who admits to eating pounds of candy in one sitting...after being diagnosed as pre-diabetic.
He's either willfully ignorant of the chances he's taking, or it's an act.
he's also an entertainer who exagerates stories all the time
the Giant Bomb NeoGAF Thread Doctors are a little too much for me

Literally half of Off-Topic is people posting about and critiquing the lives of grown ass men, most of them strangers from Florida. Dan is someone whom we all know who unashamedly puts all of this information about himself out there and is open to discussions about it, as is evidenced by stuff like Danswers. It's not like we're making shit up or we pried this information out of his private Facebook posts.
