This nickname is potentially a blessing, depends on Octopus' personality.
Like a year ago he did a small niche PC part manufacturer dirty by royally screwing up the review of their product, which sparked a big controversy because the people who like LTT are also the people who like small niche PC part manufacturers. This opened the floodgates for further criticism - apparently everyone at LTT was being worked to the bone, every video was being rushed out the door to the point that there was no more time for fact checking or verification, female staffers were being mistreated, Linus was misusing company funds and going on his podcast to lie about what was happening, and probably some more stuff that I don't remember.
But then it kinda... fizzled out. My hypothesis is that LTT has reached the point where they are "too big to fail", and by that I mean that they have a large enough audience of people who don't read Reddit threads to just ride out the wave until the people who were angry lost interest.
I have exactly three pairs of pants. They are pretty durable because they're motorcycle pants, but they were also pretty expensive. Two are straight jeans, while the third is a pair of slacks that matches well with a button-up shirt for when I need to wear one of those.
But I also have a couple pairs of running shorts. I don't remember ever buying them, Christmas gifts maybe? Anyway they're my go to when it's a) hot out and b) I'm not riding my motorcycle. They're also really great to change into after a work day.
I have completely whittled my life down to these kinds of pant. All other pant types are unnecessary.
It used to be that you had to max out how good your game's screenshots looked to sell it - but the modern gaming industry just doesn't work like that anymore, if indeed it ever did. Major devs still locked in the graphics chase are only doing so because they haven't figured out what Nintendo did back in the N64 era - specs don't sell games, games sell games.
Don't listen to these other commenters. You can fix her.
This is super cool. My dream game grand strategy game is something with CK-style intrigue, TW-scale battles controlled via an M&B-style character, so this is one more step closer to that.
I always assumed that Barrett convinced everyone else to go for it or lead the charge in some way which was why he caught most of the blame, but yeah I guess they don't really say that explicitly do they. Also I'm pretty sure the Corel reactor exploding was a random industrial accident that got blamed on the town by Shinra (unless that got retconned at some point).

the Engineers, a group of terrorists which is trying to coerce the United States into recalling all of its troops stationed abroad.
I think they launch attacks against military bases/the white house, but it's been a very long time since I played this game. If I remember correctly the game's dialogue is like if chatGPT was exclusively trained on War on Terror scaremonger articles, everyone just free-associativity rants about the quds force, al quaeda, chinese special ops, spetznaz, etc.
I agree that that's what the main games are for, but I also think that there's more than enough room in Pokemon's franchise for side games that cater to older fans with more complex battle and sim mechanics. Pokemon Colosseum 1 & 2 feel like they could have been the starting point to a whole secondary line of JRPGs in the Pokemon world with unique stories and mechanics, but they never followed up on them and now those games are just a weird outlier in the franchise's history.
is objectively correct and fully justified in all of his rhetoric and actions, but the lib writers of FF7 nevertheless felt the need to explain his anger as being some kind of personal revenge quest and make his character arc about realizing that doing violence against Shinra was bad.
