Joe and his co hosts complains about SJWs so it's not like he's part of the 'woke' left. And Nintex, you live in Denmark, your version of Conservative would still be left of even what Resetera believes is 'the left' since their kings and queens are right of center democrats.

You can listen to any music and watch any movie to the end. There is not a test in the middle of the film to prove you are understanding the message.

In games there's no way at all, unless you cheat.

Gameplay is not a "test" to gate content, it's supposed to be the content.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

In reality you can't generalize, there's some games where the story is definitely front and center and the gameplay is a wrapper or vessel for it. But those will already have the designer scaling down the interaction and the challenge or provide an easy mode.

I also get that competitive games gets brushed to a "does not apply" asterisk when they're pretty integral to the notion of gaming in the broader sense.

I give Kojima leeway since he's a legitimate auteur, but I consider the AAA/Hollywoodification of games and placing so much emphasis on story backwards to the medium. The ultimate culmination of this trend is walking simulators and extremely linear experiences such as Order 1886.

I like Norm but find him dismissing satire as “not comedy” is pretty ridiculous. 

Also didn’t he get famous satirizing the news?  Lol

With Norm you rarely know if he's serious or if he's joking.
He has ascended above the human comprehension of comedy and has to occasionally move down to our level so we can have a laugh too.

Go back a page, Transhuman posted an interview.

Yeah, it’s horrible. So I don’t like satire that much, and also these guys [contemporary talk-show hosts] are nightclub comics. They’re not Bob Dylan. They’re just guys, and they get talk shows and suddenly they’re telling me how I shouldn’t be sad because of the Manchester bombing and I can escape the horrors of life because they’re going to interview someone from Two Broke Girls or whatever the fuck they do. When I was a kid, if I’d heard Red Skelton talking about the government I would’ve thought, This is fucking weird. To me, it hurts the comedy any time anything real creeps into it. I know people have different thoughts. I keep hearing how great Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks and Mort Sahl are. People have their own taste, but to me, all three of those people are just shit. They’re not comedians in my mind.

More specifically says people who talk serious current events “aren’t comedians.”  Granted he’s just being hyperbolic but it’s not just him expressing his personal opinion it’s pretty dismissive.

Yeah that is a weird statement, however i think you can see the difference between Norm making jokes about topical events, versus someone like Hicks, who some times seemed to get so wrapped up into his on stage rage, that it wasn't even obvious where the joke ended or begun.

There’s no audience in his special. It’s him performing against a black … 
There’s no audience?

No audience.
Shit, I was going to do that, but it was going to be funny. But fuck it. I won’t do that anymore.

He’s also playing with the idea of what makes something “stand-up,” and …
[Macdonald picks up his phone and makes a call.] A guy did a fucking special with no crowd.

Who are you calling?
A guy did a special with no audience in the fucking — I don’t know! [To me:] What’s his name?

Drew Michael.
Drew Michael. Can you fucking believe that? Whatever. I’ll talk to you later.

Who were you calling?

I mean it's literally the case.

Animal Farm is a satire > not funny
Blazing Saddles is a parody/satire > is funny

When Norm was talking about satire he wasn't talking about satire/parody comedians like Colbert, but rather books like Gulliver's Travel which are amusing but not intended to be "funny".

I don’t think he cares, specially since he doesn’t care about what his fans think of his recent output.

In any case, I feel sorry for him given that his political stances (leftist but not SJW and with a gun fetish) kind of makes him a pariah with current social media circles. And the angry reviewer stitch is pretty much dead. I still like him but his content is getting abysmal.

Why are they bringing up 'white privilege' and 'the black struggle' about a couple being detained and possibly tortured by an authoritarian government? 
Is it merely because it is a white couple?

It's just another case of them calling every instance of a white person who is middle-class or above an example of white-privilege.  That's not white-privilege.  It's privilege, sure.  But white-privilege?  Nah.

Same way with how they use white-fragility.  They think it means white people being fragile or upset.  These "woke," morons just invent their own definitions so they can use those two terms all the time.


A guy goes to Shake Shack and they are out of his favorite item so he is upset.  Era: wow, buying food and then being upset it's not there, such white-privilege and white-fragility.

[Boredfrom]

Is this just young naive people being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or a sort of white privilege disappearing when they travel to places that don't coddle them? I mean... I kind of find it nice these young kids wanna do this and try to bring together cultures, but another part of me says "GODDAMN IT WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU".

I dunno what being white has to do with this couple being stupid and naive...

This is disingenuous propaganda that is dangerous to spread.

/ˌdisənˈjenyo͞oəs/
adjective
not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.

 

what, he knows the gun is much worse than he says, and is lying to protect it?

it doesn't sound like he's feigning anything

it's possible he has a different opinion on whether the gun should be banned or not...that doesn't make it disingenuous, that makes it a different opinion

 



what's the point of disingenuous when both sides can just lob it at each other

in that thread we find Mr. Stinkles

Victim blaming is bad but Two young people from two allied western nations Going to Iran and flying drones around in Tehran sounds like something spies would do and that will be the narrative from Tehran if it blows up.

We don't know on the other hand if they really were flying a drone or why they were picked up.

I've looked but can't find anything about them beyond travel blogging. Sometimes the "tourist" turns out to be "an expert on international relations who studied farsi and hard-line telecommunications during his ten years in the military and has a black belt in karate " but these two have nothing beyond their social footprint that I can find.
