We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
They could at least subscribe to YouTube Premium if they don't want to promote adblockers.
I never get bothered by what they pick in these categories.. I listen to these things for their personality and the conversation; if anything the inconsistencies and contradictions make it sort of fun.
Slightly OT but I have not ventured in to the GB thread for way too long to start now.
I was watching that Silent Hill feature on GB and was thinking Jess reminded me of someone who guested on a Silent Hill Retronauts episode way back when 1up was still a thing. I looked it up and not only was it indeed her, but it was over 10 years ago. A real internet WTF moment. Also kudos for sticking with that goofy internet handle for this long.
Found a link, might have to give it a re-listen http://archive.org/download/RetronautsLivePrimeOther/RetronautsLive26-SilentHillSeries.mp3
As people who used to make a living partially off of internet adverts - I bet they went out of their way not to at least openly support ad blockers. Although since those revenue streams dried up I feel a lot of people openly don't care what their audience does.
Pretty sure at least one of them does - as a personal account at least. Someone said so. Brad maybe?

Yeah I remember that too, one of them mentioned they could never go back from Youtube Premium after not seeing ads. I thought it was brad too
I would have liked if they would tell us how far into a game, or if they finished it, they are when they talk about it during the deliberations. I got the impression they all weren't far into Halo.
Also regarding adblockers. Pretty sure I saw the ublock icon in one of the GOTY videos.

Very much the same for me, I listen to these podcasts for entertainment. It's not like GOTY awards are in any way important in this day and age.
I think I would pay $5 a month to get rid of YouTube ads cause they're incredibly annoying, but $16 a month is way too much. I already subscribe to Amazon music so I don't need another music streaming service.

Didn't the ones who played it kind of gush over it? Vinny loved it
Actually he kind of basically says that in another category right? Probably the time loop one, he basically was like 'loved the beginning, loved the end, hated the middle'
Yeah, that's what Vinny said. I think Brad didn't even (want to) finish it. Or so I recall him saying a few episodes ago, so I don't remember the exact phrasing. After just how much he loved OW, that was really surprising to me, so I was expecting them to talk about it in that category.
Listening to the recent ramblecast and finding it really fucking weird that brad mentioned that on the tech pod he was forbidden to bring up Betty White's death (I assume forbidden by Will). Kinda weird
I haven't listened to the Ramblecast, but did it seem like Will forbade the Betty White talk because he didn't want to get into negative stuff on the pod? Because Will's had some serious health issues lately that I could understand it influencing his willingness to talk about those topics.
Didn't really get any context around it aside from Brad's sentence or two on the ramblecast. Brad just said he was forbade to talk about it as to not be a downer. That would be understandable if that was the case about Will. I've just always appreciated the greater GB community for being able to speak about whatever on their podcasts and not being super, buttoned-up "this is on-topic only", etc
He talks about it at the start of last week's TechPod (119). He had to go into hospital for a few days.
I don't follow Nextlander that closely but I just read a Discord announcement that they won't be able to posts their lists because their meetings ran long. I find it pretty funny that after all the complaining about the countless meetings they had to endure at CBS they are now in their own private business falling prey to the same sort of meetings.
Heh, yeah - but a business doesn't run on it's own. IIRC they mentioned this particular one is a business meeting - guess that's really something you have to take your time since it's their new company, finances etc.
It would be on their Patreon site.
Oh weird. I guess that's where everyone would go anyway, but I assumed they'd try to put together something simple (maybe if they get a Square Space sponsorship lol) to just host things like their lists or link to archived videos.It would be on their Patreon site.
Any recommendations for best play throughs/stream archives to check out? I'm a lapsed GB fan who's late to the party.
there havent been any real standout LPs imo. I guess the Hitman feature and the RE7 LP were alright.
It was meetings about what they're going to be doing this year for Nextlander, merch etc.
Wanted to chime in and agree here. As soon as they started discussing something I didn't want spoiled yet I was prepared to skip ahead an indeterminant amount of minutes only to realize I could just skip that section of the discussion without guessing.
Yup.
Nextlanders chapter work really showed to me how much other gaming podcasts need to copy that

Nothing wrong with meetings. Only pointless time wasting meetings that sap your will to live.
They might need one eventually, if they ever do merch, but atm patreon hosts everything except stream archives and youtube handles that.

Patreon is a very basic blog thing though. I think you can only search for posts by tag? In a few years, it'll be hard to find anything they post unless they only intend to use it to host their GOTY lists and nothing else.
(I'm not a subscriber so I don't know how they've tagged their posts or if they're like some creators who basically update it every day and have hundreds/thousands of posts).
I'm kind of in the middle. I honestly think the pure platforming mechanics are kind of weak. Movement feels okay, but not super dialed in. Ability switching feels poor. Combat isn't terribly tight.
The game makes up for it in other areas, I think it's great overall, but I'm not quite as effusive in my praise of Psychonauts as others seem to be. It's a solid 8
If they last for multiple years, I am sure they will get a proper website 😀
Although going back and finding old articles on GB is a pain, so maybe not.
Ppl post everything on the reddit so i usually search on that.
