watching my friend play through this game for the first time is so awesome. hes one of those guys that loves legend of zelda but has only played ocarina of time so its pretty neat to see his reactions to stuff. watching other pople experience games is sometimes more enjoyable than playing them yourself.
i'm gonna have my best bud play this as well, though he's never played a zelda game except for bits and pieces of LttP and WW when we were kids--he probably doesn't remember much

i told him it was like skyrim and it piqued his interest

he has a very candid way of expressing himself so i'm very excited to hear his impressions

Finally doing the Gerudo stuff after hours of D&SQ.

I love how they all but confirm that Noble Pursuit is just straight-up alcohol. They don't even pretend it's milk anymore.
d&sq?

My first and only horse just got ganged up on by a couple of black bokoblins and died because I was being negligent.

It didn't help that one of them was firing bomb arrows and I was kind of panicking, but still. Genuinely upset.

RIP

Just saw Farosh again (spoilers).

Crossing the Bridge of Hylia
Nice closeup
Some Rayquaza shit
Distance

Beautiful.

Also, posting screenshots on Wii U is, like, 10x more painful than it needs to be.

10272
Also isn't BoTW free on Wii U?
heck no, where'd you hear that

also maybe try wind waker HD and/or twilight princess HD (you can play wii games on it, but you'll need an OG wiimote)

I haven't seen one X-men film, but I've actually heard nothing but good things about the first two movies. I'd think the only people who'd shit on those movies are people who would've shat on X-men (or anything capeshit) regardless.

The one I hear constant shit about is Origins, which--having seen a few clips--actually looks pretty laughable.

Having impressionable teenagers just buy into it is probably not helpful.
That is why it is very important to emphasize critical thinking. Regardless, we should not discourage a person from speaking their mind. This is how we grow as intellectuals. Anyone willing should express their ideas, and we as critical thinkers should break them down and figure out how much merit they actually have, then whatever truths or fallacies discovered within them can influence new ideas, so on and so fourth.
i don't think asking people to educate themselves before they speak their mind on anything is asking THAT much

i really don't

"but verb you broadcast your shitty opinions to the world"

i don't have 3 million followers

if i had 3 million followers, i'd shut my trap about any subject i don't know shit about, or i'd strive to be inquisitive

Regardless of any agreement or disagreement with his opinions, I'm not gonna believe he should stick to what he does normally. If he has a desire to debate political topics then by all means he can and should do it as long as he's content with the reactions of his audience. People with a large following don't lose their right to free speech, and I would never tell them that they shouldn't use that right because they're influential.
It's not that he doesn't have a right to "free speech," and I'm beginning to hate the fuck out of this buzzmeme the more and more I read it used to defend literally anything.

It's that when you try to speak about a subject you obviously don't know the first thing about, you're gonna sound foolish. You have a right to sound foolish, but you still sound foolish. Learn when not to speak. Because "free speech" does not mean you MUST broadcast your stupid, shitty opinions to the world, especially when you may well contribute to nationwide ignorance. Take some responsibility.

What the fuck is a bechdel test?
a test feminists use to determine whether a movie fairly represents women or not

if a movie doesn't have at least two female characters who converse with each other about something other than men, it fails the test

it's not really taken seriously by anybody and is more of a meme

It's weird when YouTube personalities do this, as if these discussions are new or interesting, rather than every other Thursday on most online forums.
The difference, of course, is that these people have huge followings and massive influence. JonTron's audience consists of teens to young adults, many of which look to him as a hero and wouldn't necessarily know better to not to take his worldview seriously. So naturally, when these super popular people engage in political discussions, it instantly matters a lot more.

Plus, I found myself taken aback by much of what Jon actually said, and considered it a point of interest in and of itself. Being a fan of the guy's content, and all.

I think this is a perfect case of people needing to stay in their lane.

You play video games and make funny YouTube videos for a living? Awesome.

Just never open your mouth about politics.

Serious / JonTron and Destiny debate immigration and race - *updated*
« on: March 15, 2017, 06:51:56 PM »
YouTube

*UPDATE* -- Jon has a new statement on the matter.



YouTube

Jon is catching a lot of flak for some questionable statements he made, including co-opting "tribalism" as an inherent part of the human condition. He argues that white people are becoming a minority via "displacement." To him, this is a bad thing, because as more and more non-whites enter the country, this puts "white values" in jeopardy or something like that.

A few highlights:
Quote
35:53

JonTron:
There is an absolute disproportionate amount of crime committed to whites by non-whites. There's no arguing that; that's just FBI statistics. So in that sense, you could say, well, why shouldn't the white people be allowed to address this? But they're not allowed to, because they're called "racists" by people like you.

Destiny:
If you wanted to fix crime in the United States, the best way to do it would be to deport all of the poor people. Because poor whites commit a lot of crime, too, disproportionately compared to wealthier whites.

JonTron:
That's just not true, but okay, you can say that if you want to.

Destiny:
Hold on, wait wait wait. You don't think that--

JonTron:
Well, okay, yes yes, in relative...

Destiny:
In relative terms, yes.

JonTron:
Relative to wealthy whites, yes. You're right.

Destiny:
Okay. So, do you think that poor blacks probably commit more crime relative to wealthier black people?

JonTron:
They do. Wealthy blacks also commit more crime than poor whites. That's a fact.

Destiny:
...Wait, what?

JonTron:
Yeah. Look it up. (laughs)
Quote
51:53

Destiny:
Do you ever see yourself as a "North American"? Do you think Americans ever, at the end of the day, "Ah, I feel like a North American at the end of the day! Like, I'm the same as a Canadian and a Mexican!"

JonTron:
I do believe we're different from Mexico, but very similar to Canada.

Destiny:
Because we're whiter? (laughs)

JonTron:
No, because our country's derived from the same culture and had similar founding stock [sic], at least. But I will say, you know, that's a big reason why--by the way, Europe and America--it's not different. Even though you say it's different, it's not.

Destiny:
What do you think is similar? It's totally different. We're incomparable places, dude. The United States is a massive country that has a massive border to the south of an unstable country. It's way different than, say, the United Kingdom, who wasn't even having serious immigration issues, whose entire economy and place in the EU makes them a very special country. Which is much different than the country of Germany, which just had a massive budget surplus, year after year after year, even after taking in fucking a million fucking refugees. Which is massively different than any of the Nordic countries--than Sweden, Finland, Norway, all of these places are all very different. It's a very--I'm not trying to be mean--but it's a very American thing to say, "All of these European countries have the same problems." That's so not true. The issues that white people face in fucking Northern Ireland is gonna be way different than the differences between Southern and Northern Italians. All of these problems are massively different. You can't group all of Europe's problems in together and say they're the same thing as all of America.

JonTron:
They're different, but when you compare cyan and deep blue next to red, the bluish colors tend to look a little bit more similar, don't they? So, my point is that, they're all facing similar problems, coming from a similar part of the world. What does that tell you?

Destiny:
...I don't think they're facing [similar problems]--

JonTron:
Well, then, you're not informed.
Quote
56:50

Destiny:
Why is the state of California the 6th strongest economy in the world when they deal with more Mexican immigrants than any other state? How is this possible?

JonTron:
Because all the industry is there? I don't know, what's your point?

Destiny:
Maybe the supply of labor has helped the state grow a little bit? Maybe other people are able to take up complementary positions? Maybe every single economist agrees that immigration grows an economy for everybody--?

JonTron:
Every single economist agrees?

Destiny:
Pretty much every single economist, even the main leading people who are on the "hold on on the immigraton" side, more or less agree with that. Borjas is the leading economist who argues for less immigration in the United States, and even he acknowledges that.

JonTron:
And every single pollster said Hillary Clinton was gonna win.
Quote
1:00:53

Destiny:
Do you think that it's okay for a country to stifle its growth a little bit in order to maintain a homogeneous cultural identity?

JonTron:
Yeah, I think it's fine. Japan does it.

Destiny:
Okay, why did you come to the United States instead of going to Japan, then?

JonTron:
I didn't come here, dude, I was born here.
