It is James Stephanie Sterling, a fool for you to enjoy! Among the longest standing critics of game industry business practices, particularly excessive monetization such as microtransactions and loot boxes. Owner of Boglins, POGs, and a Cornflakes Homunculus. A writer for Vampire Survivors, a pro wrestler, all with big boobus to boot!
I think I've said this before, but it's still relevant if so: if CEO positions are so valuable, surely a nicely presented, easy-to-understand breakdown of how they spend their working weeks and what their job responsibilities are wouldn't go amiss? Like a documentary, or one of those How It's Made videos. *You know*, I could see it for other kinds of jobs and turning out nicely. Like, library systems support as a random example; you could show off the amount of book covering, book registration and ordering, database management, report-making and liasing with external companies they're obligated to do! Put a spotlight on the amount of extra work they do as the resident computer understanders in their department, the efforts they'll go to in order to make deals that range from slightly improved to industry-leading curve ahead-ing! Real educational, potentially humanising. Since CEOs are "worth" millions and billions, that means their work should be easily understood when explained as worth that much? That they get up to so much extra work that they can't help but deserve ludicrously large bonuses? That they have characteristics and personalities that would make them resemble real humans? Surely. Right?

Tbf, that no-estus rule is mostly for dueling. If someone invades they're there to wreck your run, so fuck em Also i think it is pronounced "smoff" cause bri*ish or something. Like hawkeye gough
Okay but none of this matters, no studios opinion is going to have any sway over the law, and most people already have forgotten their stances on issues like this and just buy their games when they come out anyway... Maybe because of vast majority of the purchasing are middle aged parents who know nothing about the video game industry buying games for their 14-year-old kid.
I get that reoccurring issues ignite reoccurring discussions and all, but at some point, it just feels like The Jimquisition's spinning it's wheels. I've heard this exact same episode, with the exact same points be the point of focus in dozens of your videos by now.
The Bruce Lee inserts are so good. I laughed out loud when I finally got them. Automatic Lee. Serious Lee. It took me a while, but I noticed... Eventual Lee
"THAT'S NOT CENSORED!" Smh my head, immersion ruined, everyone knows that genitals in Japan are always pixelated Also I don't think prostitution is illegal? Why do the cops keep arresting you? ALSO also, where do we apply to help the Transformers fund?
Pretty funny that you moan about spoilers and yet oop, you just spoiled those endings for all the people who have never played the original and might do so. No spoiler warning at all, good one. Thanks for that
If only it was just "executives make more than the entire development team combined" it's way worse: They make several times that. In some countries executives make 300 times what the average person makes. In other words: You'd have to work 300 years to make what they do in 1 year. Them "making more than" is fine by me. The gross excess is wrong!
BRA. FUCKING. VO. Still fighting the good fight and putting some truly insightful criticism in front of the mountain of BS this God-forsaken industry throws our way every day. Agreed, any further discussions on the cost of making games should not even be considered before it gets through the cost of mostly useless executives.
Weirdly enough, minecraft probably has the most realistic weapon fragility system out of any game I’ve played that has one. You have to use iron and diamond tools for ages before they break. (Yes, I know diamond tools realistically wouldn’t work, but if they did they’d be pretty durable)
My partner just pointed out to me that the other DLC/pre-order thing of being able to go through the whole game wearing the Pyramid Head helmet, means that it's also spoiling a DIFFERENT major plot-point - I don't think finding out what Pyramid Head actually IS would be nearly as effective if you've played the whole game with James *looking like a Pyramid Head.*
Killer Klowns getting this treatment is especially annoying because in the midst of the mascot horror wave, they would fit right in AND stand out. But that would take more dev time and effort.
