Conspiracists have a “fantasy of justice”, hoping that the evil-doing elites can be arrested and stopped. “Conspiracy theorists get the facts wrong but often get the feelings right,” she writes. “The feeling that every human misery is someone else’s profit
Insightful.
Now if only there was a way to safely pirate stuff without the possibility of the binaries having keyloggers or cryptominers embedded in them. I seem to recall some studio hosting an official torrent on their website precisely for this reason.
I think Newell's quotation here is not really accurate. I'd say it's 60% pricing and 40% service. You have little chance buying a 60-70 buck game in an economy like Russia or Brazil right now. Source: I know highly-educated Russians and Brazilians who pirate because they can't afford the games.
Been a while since I watched SGF. I really like the obscure games he brings to publicity, like MODE and the Philips CD-i interactive medias.
Trespasser by Research Indicates is honestly so well written that it feels like director's commentary rather than a let's play.
Bobbin Threadbare's Deus Ex. It's half let's play, half a series of lectures on various topics relating to the game.
For me a good let's play is about the game and representing it, not about about the personality doing it.
La-mulana. It's one of those games that only has value if you play it blind and without a walkthrough. The game's platforming and combat is subpar at best and atrocious at worst, but the riddles and the mythology make up for it. I played it around 2008 on the "MSX" freeware version, and it took me 10 months and 2 new save files after getting stuck. You have no chances of completing that game without extensive notes.
This is especially true in games like Starcraft where even the tiniest difference in skill results in a total face stomp.
