6 days a week I put out gaming news videos. If you are interested in hearing the perspective of an Eldritch being, then stop by the Abysmal Critic and check it out!

My mother was a waitress. We always stack our plates.
"Dirtying the bottom of the plate" is a non-issue since they should be washing the whole plate anyway. A restaurant that tries to get away with only washing the top should be avoided.
I'm a 42 year old gaming woman.
And you are utterly full of shit.
You've bought into the absolutely ridiculous notion that gamers are all toxic men trying to keep women out due to misogyny.
You've been fed misandrist propaganda by women who don't even actually enjoy gaming -
Don’t gatekeep. Realize that new media is made to increase interest in an IP. The whole point is to create new fans.
You should celebrate that something you love is getting new fans and attention because that means that you’ll get bigger budgets and care for future installments
Have you considered the concept that it's not the fact she's a woman, but the stuff she says?
I'm extremely tired of men like you infantilizing us and turning us into nothing but our sex. You're literally worse than those you pretend to try to defend us from.
If women are equal
genuinely impossible for me to understand how big of a loser one must be to see this tweet and think "aw yeah vaguely-described hatred directed at a woman—this guy has the right idea! So glad he's talking about what really matters!!!"
@RealTayChaTLC
I mean. I've never heard of you so I'm not sure what kind of win you think that is.
And I'm tired of people trying to call me something other than a woman because it makes someone else uncomfortable.
@AsparagusDq

@ChillSpartan
Yes. OBVIOUSLY women are merely mad that more women were added, and it has nothing to do with the laziness of the method or disrespect to other women that already exist in the game world.
Cuz, you know, that totally makes more sense.
This guy's either lying or doesn't know what he's talking about.
People are boycotting Sony because of their hand in bait and switch advertising due to censorship that we can reasonably assume came from them.
I truly don't understand where commies think food comes from.
It doesn't magically materialize - if you don't put the work in to get it yourself, then someone else does.
If you don't compensate the person creating the food in some way, it's slavery.
It doesn't matter if you're
@TheRealElvira
He's had Sanjay Gupta and others on. And just talking about things isn't "spreading misinformation". If we can't talk about things we disagree on, or listen to them, we can't learn. This really is heart breaking for me.

Matt, we're not upset that you "talked about an issue in the news."
We're upset you belittle and demean us, THEN discuss the issue with absolutely no self-awareness. You spoke as if there haven't been people speaking on it before.
You completely dismiss an important part of
I have to say, I've been the target of some extremely unreasonable backlashes in the past. But this one is probably the most ridiculous yet. This time people are mad that I talked about an issue in the news. Apparently I have no right to discuss it because I'm not in the club.
If you have sex, you have to accept the fact that there is a chance you can get pregnant.
The fact that there are human beings out here who want to decouple "sex" from "pregnancy" just utterly disgusts me.
Forget the religious shit - having full, penetrative intercourse with a

Sir, next time you attempt to play tattle-tell, you may find it more advantageous to research the person you're trying to report to.
@KahliefAdams
The audience wasn't there for the game.
No matter who or what you blame, it's true.
If you make games people don't want to play - no matter what the intent is behind them - people won't play them.
No game is entitled to an audience.
"I love everyone but I hate conservatives"
"She's free to voice her opinion, but I'm free to call her very nasty names for it"
This man is so full of "I'm superior to you" it makes me ill
This is so dumb.
If you don't want a baby. Don't have sex - that's a statement that goes for men and women.
Men - if you are against abortion, don't be complicit in creating unplanned babies.
Women - if you don't want a baby, don't engage in activities that may impregnate you.
@cegman04
Maybe. But that's more about how they attempt to market with rage than it is about how people would perceive the game just playing it.
In the end, with most gamers, actual game play, well written stories, and good characters tend to win out - even past the rage baiting marketing
Alright. I've been insanely nervous about doing this, but I've had such a good weekend and so much fun, I feel emboldened. Thank you everyone for a great weekend - thanks
@Drunk3po
for being my first meet, and I'll be posting the rest soon
@ChronicleHop
@CultClassicCage
Have you considered the idea that most people don't require the character on screen to physically resemble them, and those that do have a form of narcissism?
I have a hard time accepting I'm pretty. 90% of the time I'm picking apart my flaws - which aren't few. But I'm finding more often I can look at myself and say "you know, sometimes, you're kind of pretty"
@Dstokers
@Kotaku
I'm immunocrompromised. It would be EXTREMELY selfish of me to expect other people who outnumber me to change their lives for me.
Thankfully I'm also an adult who knows how to take appropriate steps to protect myself if I wish to go places.
Downtown Fredericton is looking a little brighter this morning as City crews paint the PRIDE sidewalk in front of City Hall. 🌈
This is one small step on our long road together toward a more inclusive and safe society for all!
I haven't watched a single YouTube video on anything Star Wars.
I've seen plenty of clips.
My opinion is that it looks like shit and I have better things to do with my time than watch slop to appease morons who think I can't have an opinion without watching.
Apparently there's a section of conservatives that think pin up girl pictures are too risqué?
Well, anyway, while they're off making friends with the left who also hate beautiful women, here's a picture painted by Gil Elvgren
Now to one of my favorite people in this world, and one I honestly have to thank for getting me started down this road is
@EricDJuly
- real, genuine, strong-willed - I appreciate it all. Thank you.
Oh shit! I've been approved! That... was much faster than anticipated!
Thank you all so much! I'll be getting things set up and let everyone know the details ASAP!
As a woman, I like it if the women I'm playing are nice to look at.
Too many people simplify "attractive" to mean "fuckable"
There's not a single woman on this earth I want to fuck, but I do prefer that they are nice to look at, as opposed to something unpleasant to look at.
Am I the only one who couldn’t give less of a fuck if female characters are attractive or not in a video game?
Shouldn’t we all be more worried about gameplay/story/atmosphere/content instead of how fuckable the characters are
Okay. One more before I try to sleep, then I'll do more tomorrow. For some reason I just couldn't get one I really liked with Ryan - but this will do. Dude's just like you think he is, and it's great. Thanks for talking!
Another nice guy I just couldn't get a clear picture of (don't snap nervous people!)
@DDayCobra
is quite intense and focused, buy always makes time for those around him - busy man, great guy. I said it before, don't be afraid to meet him!
Gonna try the grifting thing really fast - if you like the above attitude, check me out on YouTube (or Rumble, Kick, and Twitch) where I stream video games, and sometimes just hang out!

To this day I'm shocked people think of Gab as only right-wing, when all you were ever doing was let people speak.
You really were at the start of the free speech social media movement.
Saw Thomas Sowell was trending and got scared he died.
Thomas Sowell is perhaps one of the most interesting figures I've encountered. Starting his working life as a Marxist, it was working with the government that made him second guess those ideals.
He went from Marxism to
Kyle Rittenhouse is 21 years old.
He's JUST reaching an age he can drink.
Most companies won't let him rent a car.
And people are LOSING THEIR MINDS because he thought he might write in a man with an amazing political track record.
They went literally RABID - to the point one

"If you disagree with me I'll block you because I'm so tolerant of different ideas and perspectives and you're not".
Feel free. I like it when the trash takes itself out.
This is a person you can tell only came to gaming later in life.
How can you tell? Well, because they're so used to the pause function being present, that they don't know how to deal with it when it's not.
I can't tell you the number of times I got in trouble as a child growing
"Elden ring needs to be easier cause I have kids"
Do you think she's the type of chick to park in a handicapped zone because she thinks having kids is a disability?
I keep seeing this "We just wanted to make our own space in gaming" claim.
First, if you want your own space - literally no one cares about that. Gaming is not some physical room that we all have to jostle over - there is literally UNLIMITED space! No one actually cares if you
No one's really going to listen to me, but I'm going to say it anyway.

I used to.
Then people started telling me to get out of my own hobby because they found the way I enjoy it and the content it was based on to be "problematic"
From now on I'm only sharing with people who don't want to change it.
Shut the fuck up, tourist.
If you love your hobbies, you should enjoy sharing them with others and help others discover the joys you have. Let your hobbies grow, and grow with them.

@TripleDsBTaylor
for getting it out to me! I also got this set of cards... they seem to not want to be opened... but we all know how good I am with authority.
As much as I love GnG and FNT - I think it's time the Fellowship starts taking things into their own hands.
There are SO many cons and get together that happen out there - let's normalize getting together wherever and whenever we can!

reason I left Twitch.

@EricDJuly
The absolute and only correct reaction to this.
There is ZERO reason for you to leave the crowd of people there to see you to deal with one person there to try to make a name for himself.
Why on earth people would think that one guy who doesn't even like you should take
For those upset about Yasuke
Listen…if yall hate Black people or anything Black “contaminating” your media. Then just say that. Don’t make up a bunch of excuses for your racism
I agree men don't get enough positive attention.
I think women get confused though because we think of the way we like and want attention, and apply that to men.
Men are very different creatures - yes, we definitely need to say more nice things about/to them, but really, they
