Lol. Which Corp am I simping for, when I don't want to give the youTube neckbeard-in-chief viewership?
What does it mean if I get a bunch of down votes for asking for literally any corroborating or alternative sources?
It means you're very superficial, and attacking credibility by means of criticizing image and style, a misdirect.
What, do you want an E3 booth babe from 2004 giving you a 30 minute version?
Its original reporting.
They did interviews.
With tons of people... in the industry.
Its a double feature length documentary expose.
There are no alternative sources in this case, because him and his team do original work that no one else does.
If you think Steve is ... being needlessly mean, to other dipshits in the space, whom he meticulously documents his well reasoned grievances with...
If you finding him generally 'cringe' inducing... inspires you, out of the goodness of your heart, to... consider that all people deserve some grace, even this strangely purist... ambulance chaser...
You have some kind of a parasocial problem, or, you're just actually one of the people he's criticized, or you're in their friend group.
Frame setting? High School level insults used to present yourself as a reasonable truth seeker? Wildly out of touch taste compared to most people actually in the space?
Yep, common tactics and traits of corpos and parasocial obsessive fans alike.
You're trying to degrade investigative journalism by way of Mean Girls tactics.
You're using too many buzzwords to not come across as either an insider or one who seeks their validation via emulation.
Eh, call me names all you like. I worked my career in logistics and don't have the industry ties you credit me with, but kudos.
Coincidentally 2004 was the only E3 I ever got to attend. I was an LA resident and another student in the grad school where I was an undergrad had a spare media badge.
Today? I don't let Newscorp or MSNow into my home, I don't eat Nestlé product, I don't let Mr Nexus get my clicks, I don't know who half the "influencer" personalities are but I don't call them journalists no matter how many lightning bolts they put in their thumbnails and intro sequences, and I don't have any qualms about drawing the lines on what I consume.
I hope you get what you're looking for. It won't be with me.
Ok, you have a parasocial problem, good for you.
You're the one that started with the insults.
You're not gonna gaslight anybody into forgetting that.
I just parodied your level of critique, and hypercharged it.
You went for the bait.
It's called trolling for a reason.
Anyway yeah, your age isn't that hard to approximate, you're an older Gen Xer or younger Boomer, you know, a yuppie.
I'm so glad that you getting rid of cable TV and Nestle signifies that your're not a corpo, after a career in logistics.
It ain't left your bones or your brain yet, you're just overcompensating for your guilt.
... and I've already got what I wanted from you.
Lol, you're off by about twenty years! But uh, thanks for at least owning up to being a troll.
This is a horrible way to try to be in community. Good luck out there, tiger.
Since the other kind is being nice. I'll just say bluntly.
Yer coming across as a fucking ass. Chill the fuck out man. None of this is that deep.
Sure thing, Daddy. Can we get back to talking about tech, yet?
you’re the idiot derailing comments over a video you obviously didn’t even watch then doubling down on your stupid instead of just watching the video and shutting the fuck up
I made it crystal clear I don't give the no-scrunchie guy the clicks, and asked for a good source for the info (preferably something written, not a video, but I'll take what's good, out there). So far, I've received zero useful sources but about a half dozen insults. 😎 👉 👉
Hope your day improves. Mine's splendid.
it’s first hand you muppet, he’s interviewing the sources you absolute waste of time
tripling down by repeating yourself again doesn’t make your stance any less stupid
Please Daddy, insult me some more. Show us how you really treat your brethren. Bring it.
It's fine that anyone chose to give Steve-O their words and attention for firsthand interviews. I choose not to give him my attention. This shouldn't mortally offend you, but here we are. 🤷🏻
Don't worry, someone else already did the heavy lifting of finding articles and citing sources. You're free! You don't have to read or think if you don't want to, and you can tune in to your favorite YouTube channel some more!
Or you can keep making it my problem. I've got all day for this shit.
good for you? fucking muppet
Welcome to PCGaming.lemmy, the best circular firing squad of TK'ers around!
Please, show me more of how you treat your community?
