[@playmaker7910]

@@buttermink2153 Joseph Anderson has doubled down on his everything is subjective takes and is in general more weird with his takes almost like he views games as some challenge you aren't supposed to engage in. If you want examples this includes stuff like Playing through Yakuza while never healing once and then getting mad on how hard that makes the game. Saying how humans do not make sense in any fantasy setting because they wouldn't evolve just like humans on earth so it hurt immersion. Any game that has a women in a lewd scene or skimpy outfit makes her stop being a character and just an object to use for enjoyment and cant be count as representation. Claiming the Witcher series doesn't have any moral choices because he can point to everyone in the entire franchise and tell you which is right. Refused to ever use and summons, ranged weapons, or shields in any souls game ever and complain about how this made lots of the games hard. Just lots of weird examples how him playing games in weird way or breaking them on accident and not realizing what people intend for them to do. He just plays everything so different from everyone that its hard to get anything out of any videos or streams besides entertainment which would be a problem but he wants to be a deep analyzer first and foremost.

Don't think "to become" is applicable. More so "to reveal their true nature". His videos always had this underlying smug feeling of superiority, that could be mistaken for knowledge and expertise of someone who did their research. But in reality it's just nothing. It's not hard to see the pattern once you noticed it, and it takes very little to notice it.

[@defeqel6537]

I'd say it is common whenever someone excels at something for the first time, to the point of getting praise from strangers. Usually the crash afterwards wakes most people up and they become better adapted to success later.

Have you heard the Tragedy of Darth Anderson the Massive? I thought not. It's not a story the Subjedi would tell you. His video essay tisms grew so powerful, the only thing he feared was his own videos getting criticized. Which, of course, eventually they were. He was betrayed by his own KZbin comments section. Ironic, really. He could be critical of anyone, except himself.

[@Lemon_Inspector]

It's funny to see JA randomly decide to hump a wall for 2 hours, clip out of bounds, and walk on top of invisible geometry straight to the final cutscene of the game. I don't know what gave him the impression he's some kind of intellecutal.

[@AM-kg8rz]

Subjedi is low-key genius

[@SkorjOlafsen]

@@Lemon_Inspector His Twitch streams back when he did those were very different than is main channel. It was all channel memes, and no real pretensions of him being bright beyond pointing out blatant plot holes in bad anime games. Glitching through games was a regular thing there, so this was more of a nod to his Twitch fans. He's grown up a lot over the years, but I don't think anyone could confuse him with bright. Especially not anyone who has tried to read one of his books, sheesh. But he did become a lot less smug by the time he dropped of the internet.

[@PrismTheKid]

Speaking as someone who's watched my fair share of Joseph Anderson stream supercuts, hes kind of a garden variety weeb/spectrumy (not even me being insulting he genuinely exhibits those traits) that found his way into the world of intellectual critiques but he doesnt have the ability to take criticism himself without considering it as a personal slight. He's probably not cut out as a critic but he can be a funny streamer at times, I just find it hard to seperate that from this behaviour. This clip is ancient though so idk maybe hes changed since then

[@Xeno_Solarus]

He's absolutely unbearable now. Nothing redeemable whatsoever.

[@acet1920]

Same, I generally enjoyed his content on most things except anything souls related. I found it odd how he excused Bloodborne’s faults but slammed Elden Ring for similar reasons.

[@marchmelloow]

Same. His entire video was him showcasing that he understood nothing about Elden Ring, yet he acted so smug, as if the devs should listen to his "revisions" to fix the game.

Make a 10 minute video saying "PN videos isn't a real thing they all are just 'pn-themed' and that's a problem with the genre as a whole" When confronted with absurdity of that statement make 15 minute video saying "It's just my subjective opinion, it was implied by the basics of communication, and do you REALY need me to say 'In my opinion' at the begining of each statement?"

If Dark Souls didn’t have a story, VaatiVidya wouldn’t exist

[@Dantarn]

The Souls games have a lot of Lore but the progression of story during the games tends to be very light

[@Marines_Memelevolent]

@ oh 100%, but there is progression. It’s just that the games tend to take place at the story’s 11th hour, so there’s not much left to do. It’s a very subtle, even obtuse story like Theo said. I defo think the way from soft tells the story in their souls like games is imperfect, but the story 100% exists. Also as an aside, while the storytelling isn’t perfect at this point I’d honestly argue the way they do it is part of the charm at this point b

[@INRamos13]

You're telling the story by playing. The story of Elden Ring is about the Tarnished that killed the old world's gods and either became Elden Lord himself, or burned down the Erdtree, or handed over the world to Ranni to do whatever the hell she wants to do.

[@mrminecraftcubeable]

Isn't the story of the first dark souls game that you are being manipulated into prolonging the age of fire ?

[@kannanretro]

@@mrminecraftcubeable Your destiny as a hollow in DS1 is to prolong the age of fire by becoming the new Gwyn, essentially continuing the loop that the final days of the age of dragons is stuck in, or you can listen to Kaathe instead and refuse to continue the loop, and move history to the Age of Men, and become the supreme eternal king of Men.

[@KirkulesTM]

Dark Souls / Elden Ring does have a legitimate narrative, you just have to enjoy doing almost literal _archaeology_ to find it. FromSoft makes games about long dead worlds where the terrible shitstorm has already happened, now go kill the legends & Gods that made it happen.

[@xenn4985]

Almost being the key word.

[@sayLeotardbutsayitChinese]

Which has always been my issue with the story; it already happened, now you're dealing with the fallout. Just not my personal cup o tea, though DS1 and Demon's were at least interesting enough to keep me through a play and a replay. Elden Ring, though.........

[@xenn4985]

@sayLeotardbutsayitChinese youre literally making the story as you go, though? Like elden ring is a continuation of the story, you just dont get any lore thrown in your face. The story however is what YOU do, why do you think theres multiple endings? What a weird take dude...

[@xenn4985]

@chuckleshelicopterwigwamjo6305 this is just flat out factually incorrect, theres no way you actually played the game. Elden ring literally EXPLICITLY tells you the story and you can go one hour without a lore dump.

If you're an essayist and you have an opinion on something e.g. "I don't like this" then that's just you expressing yourself. You can expand on *why* you think that or not and that's fine. If you say "this is bad" without backing it with reasoning then you're acting like you're an authority on it without earning that. If you're making analytical videos you should do better than "it's bad (but that's just my implied opinion)!"

Does anyone bother with long comments any more? KZbin only shows "top comments" by default, and even if people know this, the all comments view is incredibly tedious to use. So it's essentially random whether the relevancy algorithm lets anyone see what you wrote, which kinda kills any incentive to type out more than a few sentences.

This was a cringy EFAP. 21:15 "we know the definition of good and therefore any discussion of merits is objective"? Yeah, how about no. Just because _you_ have a standard against which _you_ judge the quality doesn't mean it is the same for everyone. "Good" and "bad" and "mediocre" and "boring" are all subjective statements. Because everyone has a different standard for when they consider some objective issue. Is Braveheart a bad movie because there is a van visible in the movie? It is objectively an error, but how much weight do we attribute to it? Is it bad if it happens once in the far background? If it happens twice? How visible does it need to be to be a real issue? Those are subjective standards based on opinions. There is no objective way to argue how often the van can be seen before the movie is "bad." It objectively has errors and mistakes, but the conclusions drawn from said errors and mistakes are completely subjective.
