    There are very few games from large companies that don’t tilt favor one way or another. Generally speaking though there is usually some way around this and much more skilled players will do better, but joe schmoe after an awesome game will always end up on the shitter team one way or another next game.


  • Bro I’m no beanstalk but being fat is absolutely not healthy.

    There is something to be said about the health benefits of being comfortable in your own body, but you also don’t have to be ashamed of yourself to realize that there are genuine benefits to losing excess body fat. You only do yourself a disservice by buying the idea that being big is a healthy and worthwhile goal to aspire to. Generally being overweight is a condition of compounding factors that may well be outside of ones ability to control, and I guess the first step to being healthier is to acknowledge these facts.










  • So is it just me or did anyone else notice how the tone of LTT videos changed after Linus stepped down from CEO? Everything seems to be on rails with 'uncanny valley’s levels of scripting.

    I get it, production quality and writing getting ‘better’ but it feels like it’s being forced whereas before things were more ad-lib. You can see pretty clearly the difference in tone between the podcast and their videos… Not sure how to reconcile the two of if there really is a need… But it has been bothering me lately. They went through a similar stage a few years ago where their style really bothered me, and then it got better… so maybe it’s more the writing/direction than anything else which can change depending on who is working on a particular video.

    Edit: I just got through this video and, yeah… A lot of their reporting errors seem concerning, if anything not because there are particular errors here and there but because conclusions are being drawn from errors. The frequency is pretty astounding too… Would highly recommend people watch this one, as ethical and impartial reporting is a dying art. Gamers Nexus definitely tries (although nobody is perfect, and sometimes their anal attention to detail can be frustrating) with Steve seemingly having his heart in the right place when it comes to providing information that consumers can utilize in good conscience when making decisions. I have my issues with some of Steve’s reporting at times, but I seldom question the validity of the content, whereas now LTT kinda looks like a crap shoot. No more reliable than the clickbait thumbnails you see on every other channel, LTT notwithstanding.
