AAA, eh?

Did you just… thank yourself?

Thank you for this video! Definitely going to give it a watch.

I try not to let my distaste for microphone holding turn me off of every new (to me) YouTuber I discover that does it but it definitely hangs around in the back of my head when I watch them.

The only one who doesn’t bother me is Josh Strife Hayes who puts it in a mug which I think seems at least mildly subversive

Perhaps it’s not actually a trend, but I feel like I’m seeing tons of YouTubers holding microphones that should clearly be mounted on a stand or at least on a desk - and it drives me crazy. It’s not like holding it makes it sound better than mounting it! Just invest in a mic stand!

That is at LEAST two words

I’ve heard a few of them mentioned as guilty pleasures and/or something someone gets hooked on for a short time. In my anecdotal experience, have never seen someone pay for anything in them but apparently they’re still making bank!

Not sure if this is a case of Bone Apple Tea or not, but the phrase is “Gee Willikers”

Treating everyone the same is not fairness… is that the point this headline is making? The article didn’t make it any clearer to me

I watched someone on twitch playing this and there was a point the character was playing a phone game and it was so frustratingly accurate the way it portrayed the “watch ads to get gems, but the ad is a fake game that you try to close but you click the wrong X and it leads to a broken link” experience perfectly

None of those reasons sound especially practical to me, but I may be in the minority. I’d rather wait and see that the game is stable and if I really want the extra content I’ll get it later (I’m patient).

I worry that pre ordering may send a message to publishers that a game doesn’t need to be good or even finished

Interesting. I can’t see any practical reason TO preorder. Are they going to run out of digital copies? Am I going to forget to buy it? I’d rather wait for reviews and a couple patches.

I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum, as the review scores keep improving so obviously folks are liking it, but you’re not alone if it still doesn’t click. They keep polishing it and piling on more stuff, but the base game is still rather disjointed and in my opinion, easy to burn out on. Procedural generation doesn’t mean any of the procedurally generated things are going to be interesting.
