In regards to TLOU 2, you gotta remember that Abby not only murdered Joel, but explicitly wanted to torture him, and she only stopped because Ellie walked in. And this is after Joel risked his life to save her from zombies. It’s the worst first impression they could’ve crafted, short of senselessly killing Ellie and Tommy too. And to get meta, most people who didn’t see the leaks bought the game to get more Joel and Ellie action, and Abby walks in and removes that possibility forever. For most people, Joel’s needlessly painful death can’t be forgiven.

The big issue I had with AC 3 is it comes right after ezio's story and ezio would often times go out of his way to debate with his opponents and even started to understand their viewpoints in AC revelations then comes Connor who basically for the entire game was like "No, I'm right you're wrong, get fucked." Which really isn't good. If Connor actively debated Haytham it would've worked better, because often times Haytham didn't kill Connor and tried to engage him in a battle of wits that Connor always declined.

I never hear anyone say that considering this and first game have strong thematic elements. It’s suppose to emulate you not wanting to forgive someone for doing something wrong to you. and the fact that most people hate this game proves that people don’t have the capability to forgive someone which is an EXTREMELY important yet highly overlooked value to have as humans.

Everybody against Jackson's stance are basically spitting on the idea of video games as art. You all wanted purely likeable but flawed characters instead of the ACTUAL NEW IDEA of establishing a VILLAIN and then going "Okay that was fucked up, but by the end of this, you'll experience the reasoning firsthand." You are all pissed off because the devs decided not to release a standard narrative. They wrongly tried to leverage the medium in an interesting way by forcing you to assume the role of somebody that you're supposed to hate. Everybody wanted some serialized Joel and Ellie adventures and instead got a product that used that love for the characters in a calculated way to actively upset the player, but apparently intentional upset = bad game, and we need to "fix" the art by removing core ideas instead of just disliking it. Tl;Dr, gamers are petulant children who don't want new things, they want episodic adventures with characters who's views and ideals align with their own. Challenge this, and face the gamer wrath. Edit - just realized this is 2 episodes in a row of these guys just not understanding art.

Because the first game has heaps of evidence that they're pulling all of that bluster about a cure out of thin air. Even if Joel had unambiguously denied a real cure, that doesn't inherently spell the doom of mankind as Tommy's settlement shows humanity is perfectly capable of thriving. We like Joel because we can completely understand why he does what he does, and that even his worst actions were never done out of malice. The same cannot be said for someone who goes "imma stab your pregnant friend for revenge lol"

I work IT and I can fully confirm that remark on Gen Z and onward being relatively tech illiterate. I am not so great on everything with programming or managing hardware, far from it, but colleagues even about five years younger than me are completely clueless about a lot of stuff. Most of them don't even know how to scrape a picture off of social media platforms. And mind you, these are people that I consider extremely talented in their own fields.

LoU2 missed the ball so hard. They really should've dug deeper into the ramifications of Joel's decision at the end of the first game and made that the driving force instead of Abbie's personal revenge. And not kill Joel at the beginning. Plus not beat us over the head with revenge bad. Maybe there was just too much expectation for the game

I was entranced by the temple run gameplay and completely forgot I was watching a podcast

54:26 What Andrew is explaining here is exactly Aristotle's concept regarding characters. If a good guy dies, it's not good cuz it'll make people sad, if a bad guy lives that too, will make people sad. Likewise if a bad guy dies, that'll make the audience feel totally justified and not feel any sympathy. But, if, like Walter White, a relatively good dude who has done that only bad act, then it makes people feel sympathy as well as feel like it was justified.

This podcast gives me life

Gotta love the podcasts

that gif segment drove my adhd nuts ngl lmao, I had to replay it five times and I still don't know what they said

I'm watching Subway Surfers gameplay right now as to manage keeping interest in this podcast

I literally stopped at 31:20 and went to watch the entirety of Menu (2022). It really is a great movie

Essentially; TLoU2 was slaughtered by pacing issues. It could’ve been good if it established both Ellie and Abby BEFORE Joel’s death. Because afterward, she’s simply someone to want to kill. Creative nuance doesn’t really matter, because the character itself is set up, by the story itself, as someone to want to kill. There’s no reason to want to empathize with the character, because they are the “obstacle”. Had Abby been given some time to be seen before the murder, it would’ve been a bit more grounding. It’s impossible to claim nuance if the character is purely a murderer first, human second.

bet im ready for this one

jackson asking why you should like a character you play as for a dozen hours is assassins creed completion all over again, next podcast is going to be him vehemently defending CBT just because charlie and andrew don't like it and kaya taking a middleground with his hot wax

Abby was such an under developed character starting out, then the issue was magnified by her actions early in the game. You don't have to agree with anything a character/villain does, you just need to understand it and find it reasonable enough. Abby had none of that.

Doctors and Nurses are held to really high standards - different med programs have different requirements. A friend of mine was in a Nurse's course and nearly failed out of it b/c you needed to maintain above a 2.5 gpa I believe? And this wasn't like, Nursing skills specifically, but higher sciences and anatomy etc etc. It impacts the person, but then you get into clinicals and a lot of your knowledge becomes a little about book learning but majorly hands on experience. That's why doctors do spend many years (at min 4) after medical school to get that hands on experience, then even more if they want to specialize.

@@WhatIsYourCard I really don't think people forget how OxyCotin was overprescribed, nor the tenuous and dangerous relationship doctors and pharma companies can have. It's a bold, and worrying, assertion that this is how all doctors will manage your health. I, unluckily, have chronic illnesses and disabilities that require I navigate these systems and interact with multiple professionals. I have met rude, uncaring people and met genuine gems. Just like with people, all types of personalities will go into fields for different reasons. I'm US based, so I have the benefit of getting second opinions easily (even if my wallet cries), and it has been integral to maintaining myself. Some doctors, even when they know the right medicine to prescribe for your problems, will still refuse because of what they learned during their time in med school. 🤷‍♀ For example: I went to a Rheumatologist who, despite me having biopsies done and a storied history with my autoimmune disease, doubted I had it. He knew keeping me on a low dose steroid (5-10mg) was the best way to manage my problems, but was reluctant and discouraging taking it - without offering me solutions to the problems that would crop up w/o some sort of medication management. The straw that broke the camels back was when he wanted me to have a 2nd biopsy, because despite having the ruling of my disease by another professional, *he* didn't get to see the actual biopsied cells. It's absolutely ridiculous and too expensive to just flippantly do something like that. I left, found a better doctor who specializes in my autoimmune, and have been getting healthier ever since. But doc 1 must have gone through the system during a time where steroids were seen as evil without any benefit and should never be prescribed. Sure, they're not the best thing in the world and have side effects that need managing, but they are not the boogeyman. A true professional that cares for the patient can find a good middle ground between your Quality of Life and drug side effects. Anyway, sorry for the long ass response here - I just don't want you, or anyone, to feel like a doctor will bend to pharma 100% of the time, or not care about health or shirk what they have learned for the sake of $$$.
