7:02 PMDavid Gonzalez​what the heck

7:04 PMDavid Gonzalez​what about Krampus

7:06 PMaddictedtochaos​That’s depressing

7:09 PMDavid Gonzalez​how is it to become famous

7:11 PMaddictedtochaos​I think my most watched only has a couple thousand.

7:11 PMDavid Gonzalez​well because I was just asking is because I want to become a YouTuber I don’t have all the stuff

7:14 PMDavid Gonzalez​[message retracted]

7:15 PMScrungle himmingworth​oh god that trash fire

7:16 PMScrungle himmingworth​you gotta pay $30-40 to watch it

7:16 PMScrungle himmingworth​on a streaming service that you already pay for

7:16 PMDavid Gonzalez​Godzilla vs. Kong

7:17 PMScrungle himmingworth​mulan DLC for Disney streaming

7:19 PMmatthew wilson​same think as the other vod, its still cheaper than a family of 4

7:19 PMScrungle himmingworth​they probably changed it after people bitched about it

7:20 PMScrungle himmingworth​“haha guys its not a rental, see it was just miscommunication”

7:20 PMDavid Gonzalez​Disney so weird sometimes

7:21 PMScrungle himmingworth​the mouse will never get a cent from me

7:22 PMaddictedtochaos​I should probably be cheap. Bought a second Switch this weekend. And dropped a small fortune on a sealed CiB Captain Power Power Base playset to replace the one I had as a child.

7:23 PMDavid Gonzalez​I rather choose Netflix instead of Disney Plus

7:24 PMmatthew wilson​what are you gunna do in the back end of this, when everything opens up but there will be a content drought

7:25 PMmatthew wilson​though games managed to switch to wfh, and wont get hit as bad

7:25 PMDavid Gonzalez​[message retracted]

7:26 PMmatthew wilson​12 to disney+ 7

7:27 PMDavid Gonzalez​[message retracted]

7:28 PMmatthew wilson​work from home

7:28 PMScrungle himmingworth​I was screeching about the virus for MONTHS

7:28 PMScrungle himmingworth​nobody took me seriously

7:28 PMScrungle himmingworth​whose laughing now

7:28 PMaddictedtochaos​Netflix is 12 to Disney+ 7

7:29 PMDavid Gonzalez​do you hate the Coronavirus

7:31 PMDavid Gonzalez​[message retracted]

7:32 PMScrungle himmingworth​andrew

7:32 PMScrungle himmingworth​have you been keeping up with the new trash fire that is the avenger game?

7:32 PMScrungle himmingworth​game breaking glitches, multiple bad reviews, boring looking combat

7:32 PMScrungle himmingworth​and multiple delays from what I’ve seen

7:33 PMaddictedtochaos​Normal is subjective

7:34 PMaddictedtochaos​Nothing about Avengers says to me “I have to play this” I expect 6/10 at best.

7:35 PMScrungle himmingworth​game breaking glitches as in, footage from twitter showing the introduction cinematic

7:35 PMScrungle himmingworth​then the game just freezes and forces you to reboot

7:35 PMScrungle himmingworth​yeah, I can’t give it that much flak for the bugs considering the whole purpose of a beta is to find bugs

7:36 PMScrungle himmingworth​I’m usually not the type to complain about graphics, but every character looks like they’re made of plastic

7:37 PMDavid Gonzalez​I’m very embarrassed for my parents look at my videos

7:43 PMScrungle himmingworth​I’ll gatekeep my favorite video games, but I’m a simple man

7:43 PMScrungle himmingworth​just make the gameplay fun and I’m happy

7:44 PMjordan thompson​have you seen some of the theater chains raging about Mulan going straight to streaming

7:44 PMScrungle himmingworth​yeah I agree

7:45 PMScrungle himmingworth​I saw that lmao

7:45 PMScrungle himmingworth​I don’t know why we’re trying to appease china during the whole uyghur ordeal

7:45 PMScrungle himmingworth​but the mouse is greedy and wants that tencent money

7:46 PMjordan thompson​I’m hoping I can see the new mutants before 2050 at this point

7:48 PMDavid Gonzalez​[message retracted]

7:49 PMjordan thompson​give me a true spyro sequel and I’ll be in heaven

7:49 PMScrungle himmingworth​WOOOO new crash looking better and better

7:50 PMScrungle himmingworth​hitman in VR? don’t give me that power

7:51 PMScrungle himmingworth​I will kill all my targets using silly weapons

7:51 PMaddictedtochaos​You either die a hero or you live long enough to become EA or Activision

7:53 PMaddictedtochaos​All the devs for Aeon Must Die quit over crunch and no pay.

7:53 PMDavid Gonzalez​Resident Evil 8

7:53 PMScrungle himmingworth​that whole crunch vs no crunch shit on twitter is stupid

7:54 PMjordan thompson​I would feel triumphant and proud to unlock secrets or unlockables when I was a kid, now in my adult age I give my debt card number and it doesnt have the same feeling of achievement

7:54 PMDavid Gonzalez​what do you think about Resident Evil 7

7:55 PMScrungle himmingworth​gwent > hearthstone

7:56 PMaddictedtochaos​Seems like the next gen should maybe wait a year or two.

7:59 PMScrungle himmingworth​on twitter people were showing off tlou2 saying CRUNCH

7:59 PMScrungle himmingworth​then showing a different game like animal crossing and said NO CRUNCH

7:59 PMScrungle himmingworth​but I mean tlou2 flopped

7:59 PMScrungle himmingworth​and animal crossing is still popular

8:00 PMaddictedtochaos​Animal Crossing has sold 22+ million since just March.

8:00 PMScrungle himmingworth​ghost os tsushima outsold tlou2 in 3 days

8:01 PMScrungle himmingworth​let me just say

8:01 PMScrungle himmingworth​HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

8:05 PMaddictedtochaos​Nintendo also doesn’t believe in crunch. May be the only major dev that doesn’t.

8:07 PMScrungle himmingworth​valve

8:07 PMScrungle himmingworth​valve employees can just move to other projects whenever

8:07 PMScrungle himmingworth​which explains why they take so long to make games

8:08 PMaddictedtochaos​Animal Crossing has outsold every PS4 exclusive. Has also outsold the entire Metroid franchise combined.

8:10 PMScrungle himmingworth​NEW METROID PRIME

8:10 PMScrungle himmingworth​HOOOOOOOOOOOOOWEEEE

8:10 PMScrungle himmingworth​AW YEAH BABY, GONNA WRAP IT ALL UP

8:10 PMaddictedtochaos​I think the whole Meteoidvania genre is rather niche.

8:11 PMaddictedtochaos​Great game
