Really nice to see that he's getting attention, alongside Digital Foundry, he has the best YouTube channel on these technical analysis

Good for him, but fuck him as far as I'm concerned.

Yikes.

IGN is about to catch wind of this. They don't go in for the Moriarty types anymore.

And I'm glad to find out. DF only going forward.

I don't think he was, maybe i am wrong, but my impression is people really jumped into conclusions a bit too fast

That said, not sure if partnering with ign is a good fit, and if that means he is not updating his channel anymore.
Time will tell i guess.

there was no jumping to conclusions. It's all right there on the thread I linked

Congrats.

He makes excellent analysis and I'd love to see channels like him and VG do tech analysis so I can compare them with DF.

DF has made many mistakes lately so having competition in tech analysis is great for their niche.

This would be met with celebration if NX Gamer didn't reveal himself to hold troubling views towards Capitol Hill terrorists. And then was unrepentant about it when challenged.

I was in that thread, and while i agree his tweet wasn't adequate, i still think people just judged him a bit too fast mixed with console wars.
But as i said, i may be wrong, don't know him besides being interested in his channel.

Showed his ass on this very forum, then both sides a fucking terror attack against the US democratic institutions.

Meh, fuck him.

Always was second fiddle to DF.

The hiring team has some shitty vetting work, and am giving them the benefit of the doubt.

His accent seems to indicate he's from the UK. I'm not sure he's a "Trumper."

I always read his post regarding "excessive force" as being anti-gun, not pro-insurrection. The police don't even carry guns in the UK.

I don't think he is at all, though he is a dick for carrying water for those assholes. A lot of y'all are jumping to conclusions (maybe rightfully so, ionno) He seems to be banned for a few months, so son needs to explain himself. I don't get any type of alt-right vibe from him at all in his videos, and I recall him shitting on that shit in one of his videos. Only reason why i subscribed.

I thought his posts were mostly anti violence. As in cops shouldn't be killing the protesters at the insurrection.

if that's the case, it's a tame take and not remotely controversial. If there's something else I'm missing, I apologize for missing it.

Well then you have this comparison...

Yep the attempts to discredit the findings are very transparent and pathetic.

I also see his tweet in a similar way. His comparison wasn't the most appropriate though. But people's reaching conclusions about him and labeling him as Trump supporter, pro insurrection etc etc is really sad. He could be, ofc, but it doesn't matter if he isn't, does it? Like the inquisition , just burn him.
