Thank you guys for a very warm welcome.
Enjoyed the Punished Bets. Don's rap was my favorite but A+ all around.

They really hit it out of the park with the raps. Great work Don, Blood and Kyle! The stakes are probably the best part of the betting specials.

The raps were amazing and all but was I the only one that found Kyle's lyrics alarming? Talking about being alone in your death bed isn't normal & I hope he's OK. Depression is no joke.

It's not uncommon in tone or theme for Kyle, but not less alarming yes. I've been writing him an email in my head for years where I find words eloquent enough to make Kyle Bosman proud of Kyle Bosman, unleashing more Kyle on the world, finding the road to Bosman Happiness and so on. It's so hard to communicate to a person you're a fan of the degree of care you have for them and the worry these lines spur.

I don't know why I waited so long to jump on the Easy Allies train. Just started their podcasts because of all the recommendations in the podcast threads.

I can see the concern. On the other hand though, it's just soo like Kyle to mix in some dark subject matter with something as far away from it as nutrition.

Either way, I always hope he (and all the others) are okay mentally, and emotionally.

Managed to get the archive before he deleted it. Glad I did because it's a really cool stream since Kyle never really does Q&A's. I'll delete it if Kyle doesn't want it up, just let me know if he ain't cool with it Bloodworth

For now here it is if anyone wants to watch it.



Can't believe this was almost lost to Kyle's selfharming perfectionism - thanks for sharing!

The Group Stream Selection Post is up for Patrons. It's a tournament week so I submitted my Yakuza 0 VS Minigame proposal again.

Gave you a vote~

It is normal on the internet. Also it is often healthy to joke about your mental health when you have mental health problems, it helps with coping.

This is all part of Kyle's shtick, has been for some time, worry not, he knows what he is doing, and he is surrounded by good folks

Damiani with the scoop!! Pokemon Breath of the Wild 2018!

Ummm, yes. I certainly haven't talked about being alone on my death bed multiple times today. That is odd.

I would also highly recommend Brandon Plays Pokemon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCNnzEWy-1w

One of my favorites things they have ever done.
Easily my favorite series as well. I would also highly recommend the group stream from this Tuesday (Mario odyssey) it's a great introduction to the whole team. They make a sonic character, do some raps about nutrition and finally have a challenge where they play the different mini games in Mario odyssey. There are major spoilers for odyssey though.

Just listened to Frame Trap, I agree with Huber on the response to people who are offended by things. It just makes me curious about an opportunity to learn a new perspective. I'm not sure why people get so offended as a response to someone being offended (which maybe is another thing to learn about :P)

It's a shame that the Rime port turned out so bad. I kind of saw it coming, since it has some framerate issues and bugs on PS4 (the base model, anyway). I agree with Damiani that the game is worth playing, so I would recommend playing it on another platform too.

Generally, I agree with Huber, and err on the side of accepting that if people have taken offense to something, their feelings on the matter are valid.

With that said, in the context of the Last of Us trailer - I do think it's all a bit overblown.

I mean, the trailer is literally getting criticised for its depiction of violence against women. Am I wrong in thinking that nothing shown in the trailer really relates to the real life issue our society is currently struggling to deal with? It wasn't making light of or celebrating inflicting violence against women. It was simply showing an act of violence against a woman. Is that really something that we should be censoring? Would anyone have batted an eye if the trailer featured the exact same content, but with men instead of women? I...honestly don't think so. I also don't think anything we saw is at odds with what we already knew of the world of The Last of Us from the first game, so the idea that people are shocked by the tone and graphic nature is pretty surprising to me.

I think the anger you're referring to is born out of fear that companies and the like will take this reaction to heart, and refrain from tackling things like this in the future out of fear of potential backlash.
