[@Wyzai]

We come upon the real question here: Does Boogie have empathy and morals somewhere deep down in his folds? I'm not convinced he would be that affected by it.

[@DaMaster012]

Exactly. Boogie might actually have anti-social personality disorder, because he is straight up sociopathic in how much he does not care about anyone and anything but himself and satiating is hedonistic vices. I'll tell you exactly what would happen if Keem actually did put Boogie in a room with real cancer patients; the patients would share all their stories about how much they've been legitimately suffering, and Boogie would put on his god damn 1 HP voice and start trauma-dumping them with the fiction of his abusive childhood and faking penance by copping to being a terrible person just because he thinks that what they want to hear. But if Keem walked in and announced that all the money Boogie would have gotten for that episode would instead be going to help treat the patients, Boogie would fly into a spitting rage and start screaming at everyone in that room, even the people dying from the very disease he pretended to have in his evil attempt to grift money from people. Boogie is so monstrously devoid of empathy that he would try to manipulate cancer patients if given the chance; he's just that much of a pathological liar and a malignant narcissist. Trying to get Boogie to feel genuine remorse for his racket by trying to struggle session him with cancer patients would be as futile as trying to get Vaush to learn humility and change his mind by forcing him to hear the horror stories of people who defected/escaped from communist dystopias. And just like Vaush, Boogie hasn't suffered nearly enough for his evil ways. The only fitting thing to do is ostracize him until he is banished by all and left to live in the Hell of a life he made for himself alone, where his only two options are to repent, or be crushed by the weight of his wickedness.

My favorite moment of this stream was when Keemstar, of all people, calling Little Platoon sadistic for saying a horrible, scum of the earth like Boogie deserves to not be given a platform and make money for being a terrible person. Keemstar, what you are trying to say is that: "I don't want to kick him off because my podcast is making money from having Boogie on the show." Keem is just as bad as Boogie.

[@kyanitekat]

100% this. I'm not proud that I took the bait at the "peasant" insult, but I think what set me off more than anything else is that Keemstar showed his true colors and then tried to tell us "no, actually, not really," which I didn't expect. My fault for not being familiar with his content, I suppose. Bottom line is that he knows he's scum, knows Boogie is scum, and doesn't care because putting the scumminess on full public display produces income. I'd have given him a little tiny jot of respect if he had just admitted it.

[@antiphon000]

If you watch Part 2 and Part 3 of this stream and the clips of Keem/Boogie it gets worse - he actually flat out says paying Boogie would be morally wrong and yet he ended up doing it anyway. He called Platoon sadistic when he literally encouraged Boogie to drink a bottle off the side of the road that looked like it was full of piss.

[@Dave_L913]

His smug "I only make $4l/month off Boogie, and that's a pittance" comment really annoyed me. If, as he alleged, he can make more money doing other things, then why isn't he ... doing other things? Oh, he claims he's doing it out of charity / pity for Boogie so he can pay his mortgage. BS. If he actually cared about Boogie keeping his house, he could just give him the money. After all, according to him he'd make more $$ doing something other than that podcast so he could easily afford it.

I think in a wierd and twisted way keem does sort of care for boogie. After all, keem is just boogie with better stats. I think keem knows that too. And so there's this tiny bit of sympathy there. But other than that he's just abusing boogie and using him. And keem is fine with the abuse because of the fact he sees a little bit of himself in boogie, and keem hates that despite not understanding it. I don't know but that is what I think I see. It's weird. It's a love but mostly hate/abusive relationship.

[@PrismTheKid]

I dont even think LP is coming at this feeling pity for Boogie. Fuck Boogie, who cares if Keem is manipulating him. LP's problem is Keem is willing to do anything to keep someone around who willingly benefitted from faking cancer, and is completely softballing his punishments at the same time, all because he wants to keep using him to keep the show alive. I think the only reason Mauler didnt go in along with him is because he has some awareness that they're using the podcast as easy material for EFAP, which means there is a little bit of hypocrisy there, even if they're not directly responsible, they are benefitting a bit from the show

[@PrismTheKid]

I think the funny thing about Keem is that everyone around him kinda knows he's a piece of shit, he mocked TotalBiscuit for having cancer, hes been involved in tons of shit over the years, he hasnt really changed, they just overlook it because there is benefit to getting along with Keem from a business standpoint.

[@zatoby6705]

Case in point for the disability thing. One of Kojima's fans prior to the release of MGSV was suffering from terminal cancer his entire life and he played the MGS games specifically because playing as Snake allowed him to do things that he couldn't do in real life since he was bedridden. Being able to crawl, run, punch, fight and sneak around was important to him specifically because he never had the chance to do those things. Sadly he passed before the release of MGSV but Kojima visited his family personally to deliver a signed copy because the boy wrote a letter to his team encouraging them to do their best at developing the game.

[@DaMaster012]

Another case in point, back during my Overwatch days, I used to watch content from a KZbinr named Stylosa, who was ranked competitively in Masters and would make videos where he'd watch competitive games his viewers sent him and he'd commentate on their gameplay: good, bad, and offer constructive criticism on what they could do to improve. One time, he received gameplay footage from an Orisa main who was legally blind, having one tenth or less the focus of 20/20 vision... he was still ranked in Platinum, and was still asking for help on how to be a better player. Jim Sterling doesn't actually care about "aCcEsSaBiLiTy" or "tHe dIsAbLeD," he just sucks at video games and wants them to be easier so he can beat them. He reeks of the kind of kid who bragged about how he beat DOOM on nightmare difficulty, only for the other kids to find out that he beat it with god mode enabled, and they bullied him out of all their gaming circles for it, and he's felt contemptuously resentful of "tHe gAmErS TM" ever since.

[@ShakerSilver]

I think just the basic thing that Sterling fails to consider is that balancing a game's difficulty is REALLY *HARD* just for one experience. If a developer chooses to make so many alternate modes and settings, it severely kneecaps the ability for any one mode to be balanced if they aren't on their shit. And when one setting COMPLETELY REMOVES FAIL STATES, how do they intend to make it as engaging as the "standard" mode?

[@kennandunn7533]

I mean, most game developers try to make an engaging story, but you're right, they'd be pretty hard pressed to keep my attention without any fail states. That being said I can't speak for anyone else so there's probably someone out there that's perfectly fine with it, lucky them, for the rest of us though, the other difficulties are still there. This doesn't really feel like that big of a deal when you can still crank up the difficulty to your preference.

[@Wyzai]

Honestly, Sterling fails to consider game development as a thing, here. Games don't appear out of a printer where we can just tweak the blueprint to change the result. The process is very involved and time consuming. Every moment spent on developing one thing is another thing left undeveloped. I thought he understood this, with his politics being all about "eat the rich" and sharing resources.

[@VarshiVexes]

Accessibility vs Difficulty - books are a clear example - large fonts, fonts for dyslexic people, audiobooks, brail - all accessibility features. But Imagine someone saying that Shakespeare or Dostoyevsky are not accessible to disabled people, thus the 'difficult' or 'long' words should be changed.

[@HermitBlake]

I mean, people are already putting on shakespeare plays translated into modern english. Because understanding old poetry is too haaaaaaard.

[@DaMaster012]

JIm Sterling is the kind of blobfish who would celebrate the truncation of language in 1984 under the guise of New Speak being more "aCcEsSaBlE" and would report dissenters to Big Brother, when really he just wants to feel like the smartest salad tosser in the room, and his scheme to do that is by making everyone else dumber, and he wants to make everyone too stupid to have their own independent thoughts because he hates them all for petty and trivial reasons.

2:33:10 Something I'm surprised wasn't brought up at this point was the fact that during the Armstrong fight, the gameplay and story are working together to put Raiden (and *you* too) on the backfoot. Raiden's sword gets broken and - putting aside the symbolism of that - now you're dealing way less damage at the midpoint of that fight, and you're missing options you've become very used to for survival, like parrying. You're now entirely reliant on your worst option in a fight - being totally unarmed - and your defenses are crippled. And this is specifically not just to make the game harder! The challenge is depicting Raiden _himself_ not being prepared for Armstrong to be what he is: he's expecting a war profiteer without principles, just greed, only to be caught off-guard both by Armstrong's prowess in a fight _and_ the presence of principles he at first can't fully grasp, then can't fully disagree with. As Raiden tries to figure out the man standing before him and what he actually believes, you're doing the same while also trying to figure out how to hold your own while at a massive disadvantage. The Armstrong fight is a fantastic blend of a game's different elements to produce a unique experience through all its components working in harmony. Imagine how much it would suffer if you got a pop-up that said "losing your sword make game hard :(. Do you want to keep it instead?"

[@Nejiranu]

Or, possibly more devastating to the stakes, you knew Raiden couldn't die anyway. What does losing your sword, your defensive abilities, and that extra damage matter when you can just pound your head into him, consequences be damned. Would that player even notice that they didn't have a sword? Would they even know how to parry or dodge?

3:27:57 - the missing point of the absurd DEI-bureaucracy Project is: Situational Disabilities are NOT disabilities. They do not prevent a person from {hearing, seeing, speaking, touching}. *SOME* people can ABSOLUTELY bartend and carry 2 conversations, including explaining a michelin star menu, make an 8-ingredient cocktail (with an egg white), and be absolutely in the weeds and *STILL* hear someone in the "well" call out something. Same with heavy accents- some people can 100% understand certain (or all) accents. Some people can carry a baby in their hat or bag, and touch your balls, or w.e. - THE SENSES AND MOTOR SKILLS ARE NOT DISABLED WHEN YOU ARE IN A "Situation" - this reeks of the same trash all these bloated bureacracies peddle; lack of accountability, and making BS to justify their existence (and "careers")

[@moe5020]

if being a new parent wasn't a sitautional disability then why is maturnity leave a thing what would you call someone who is unABLE to do something because of another situational need that takes priority?

If you buy a book, are you entitled to just have all the knowledge in that book automatically be in your head? No, you still gotta read it, pay attention, understand it and remember it. Same for a video game. Baby mode where the game plays itself defeats the entire purpose of it being a video game, not to mention how it shits all over the effort of devs who worked on the mechanics, visuals, balancing, etc etc

[@apocryphicdeath]

The focal point is the advertising business. Gaming journalists are NOT gamers. They'll just tell publishers they won't report on games that their brainless activists can't complete. Publishers want to sell their product and don't care about the art that is creating a game. So, like basically everything today, the customers are the enemy because the advertisers are considered the more important customers than actual human customers. Welcome to Corportocracy, lads.

[@crimsonpotemkin]

@@apocryphicdeath true. If Corporats were smarter, they'd call that bluff and solve the problem from the get go. The brainlet activists were never going to buy the games to begin with, so all this catering and placating is just Anti-PR for their games.

I know Jim sterling is a staple but i hope next anniversary they pick a different topic, feels like difficulty has been thoroughly discussed also Jim lost another 1k subscribers while this part was airing, here's to that under 700k video

Not surprised. When I watched Jim he talked about a study on how video game gambling and real life gambling are directly equivalent for a gambling addict. Now he talks about how right he is and how wrong gamers are. When he's trashtalking CEOs I'd probably find him tolerable, but it seems he really has the depth and insight of a water droplet.
