I'm not gonna trust a police department that has someone like Irons leading them.I thought Danielle's 'this game has cops and don't forget, cops are implements of systemic racism!' bit in her RE2 piece ran dangerously close to type of junk I see from woke twitter liberals attempting to flash progressive bonafides and then I listen to the pod and she says *that*.
Yikes.
According to the clock in my first Claire playthrough, I am 2.5 or so hours into the game and I completely agree with this. The game paints neither corporations nor police leadership with a kind brush.I'm not gonna trust a police department that has someone like Irons leading them.

Look, he was a rookie!And yet Leon is the most heroic cop in existence
No wonder he ends up with a presidential detail by RE4
Yeah it's pretty quiet. I have to boost volume by 40% to make it roughly the same level as the Bombcast or Beastcast.Am I the only one annoyed at how low mixed the waypoint podcast is?
It's like the lowest mixed thing of anything I've consumed so I always have to adjust the volume whether I start listening to it and when I've stopped listening to it.

So I tried to get through their first Kingdom Hearts cast but had to bail halfway through since I've never played any of these games and couldn't follow any of it. Should I just skip part 2 entirely or give it a shot?
I absolutely loved their 3-hour non-Kingdom Hearts cast though. More of that please!
Stolen Sheep, I wish you'd be a little softer with people in this thread.

I didn't say it was you being rough. Every time I come in here lately you're being pretty harsh to someone for expressing, at most, mild pushback on something associated with Waypoint—and usually considerably less than that. I really don't think someone asking "Should I listen to this podcast?" warrants being told that they need to adjust their expectations. Everyone in the thread likes Waypoint stuff, everyone is here to talk about Waypoint stuff, people don't need to be immediately bopped on the nose for saying that a podcast didn't hook them.
I think Sheep was just saying that it's fun because of how messy it is and not to be taken truly seriously (you'd be better served for actual information with one of the many video primers that exist)...it was just said in a very Stolen Sheep way.I didn't say it was you being rough.

Yes, I think your response to the person yesterday was very poorly-worded and honestly incredibly condescending.
I like Waypoint, I post on era, sometimes I poke my head in to post about Waypoint and I am always very put off that such a warm and welcoming site's presence on this board seems to be characterized by immediate, irascible pushback on any perceived criticism of a piece of Waypoint content. It seems, to me, to be at odds with what I think of Waypoint as being, which is a group of people who are very conscientious and respectful of viewpoints that are crosswise with their own.
So far I'd say the KH stuff is more entertaining than informative. I've listened to both episodes and have zero fucking idea what's happening. It's fun to hear the Waypoint crew work through the nonsense but if I wanted a primer, I'd probably check out the videos they watched on Youtube.So I tried to get through their first Kingdom Hearts cast but had to bail halfway through since I've never played any of these games and couldn't follow any of it.

On one hand, I think Phoney's (initial, at least) post went kinda hard, at least from the point of view of coming off the thread about the Vice stuff where people were throwing a tantrum over the same article in similar ways.
On the other, the idea that Sheep tends to be harsh while defending the site is off, imo. If anything I feel like it's usually him and I going too hard at each other, but I'm the one being defensive?
EDIT: I should say I think it surely can be offputting to the kind of people who enjoy Waypoint but don't normally post in here if we behave that way, regardless. So I think that's probably a good thing to consider going forward, especially as the Vice thread showed that there's a decent number of people who love the site and yet don't participate in this thread.
Yeah I somehow had never heard that story before that. It seems like the kind of thing he would have brought up during story time at GB or WP.Patrick's story at the end of the Glass pod is a must listen, y'all.

Yeah, I misspoke. It wasn't consistently about him defending the site, and it was the thing about "they're just upsetting themselves" that kind of turned me off this thread in the first place. What I should've said was that it was when he disagreed with someone.On the other, the idea that Sheep tends to be harsh while defending the site is off, imo.

Sheep if a lot of people think your calibration is off, I dunno, maybe reflect on that instead of digging in with "I can absolutely see the truth."
What's ulterior? You were wrong then and I'm rolling eyes at you now.
No, me too. I can't listen to this podcast in my car because of how bad the mixing is, too. Like Patrick is super loud, then Austin is a lot lower, and then Natalie is barely audible when I'm driving. The mixing sucks.Am I the only one annoyed at how low mixed the waypoint podcast is?

I think you were way over the line. My $0.02. Don't tell someone to fuck off over a little bit of criticism. I agree with benji's points.We'll agree to disagree because I feel fully justified in what I said. I'm only disrespectful to people who themselves are disrespectful.
