Lord Frogmire Appreciation Thread - The Better Brother (Formerly Known as Synthetic Man Appreciation Thread) - Might have an account here

It's likely that something about the Youtube algorithm changed, and it's also likely that nothing changed and everyone complaining has some other cause than "wahh Youtube keeps changing things to keep the podcast man down". Synth can obviously blame it on his content getting worse and hitting a breaking point with his DS2 video and Debin's Chudcast rant. Quartering can obviously blame it on grift fatigue (he was actually making a lot of money just four months ago and now nobody is watching or donating). Josh Strife Hayes put out videos nobody was interested in with his Neverwinter Nights stuff (that he isn't even complaining about), Lore Lodge did the same with his podcast about some book, and his Bishop on the Brook video. Dosh Doshington thought that his video was being suppressed because of restricted mode, when it seems much more likely Youtube simply failed to accurately predict the correct audience for the video (it was a good video but Youtube probably assumed it wouldn't be relevant to most of his audience because it wasn't a Factorio video, and it probably also tried to recommend it to people that watch Binding of Isaac videos, which would have killed his ctr). Red Letter Media is complaining but if you ask any of their fans, they just fell off, and their new Plinkett video was terrible.

Yeah, totally the whole of youtube just "fell off" all at once. Holy cope.

Listening to Kobe and Debben trying to have actual gaming opinions is like listening to couple of lobotomites, holy shit. Literal /v/ drones with no opinions of their own.

What was even the point of this argument? Nioh has the same difficulty selling point as the souls games, albeit with more rpg mechanics. You can grind levels in souls games to make the game easier too(except for Sekiro; He avoided that game). Shit.. That's the formula for most good rpgs, level scaling is dogshit imo(Synth even complained about level scaling once). Constant loot drops may be one thing I agree with, less is more. One chatter told them you can just turn the numbers off if it's too bothersome(that should satisfy Devin). The whole argument was nonsensical and Synth just wanted to be right for the sake of being. Devin also being a hypocrite agreeing with Synth immediately after hearing his reaction to the comment.

Every time someone mentions "souls fatigue" what i hear instead is "i am a zoomgroid retard and my dopamine receptors are completely fried by my crippling porn addiction"

>THERE ARE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN THAT'S FOR WAGESLAVES BUGMEN!
>you can turn off the numbers, retard
>THAT'S NOT THE POINT YOU SUBHUMAN

If its not the point, why mention it, faggot? You realize Dark Souls also have damage numbers that are calculated on each hit, you just can't see them?

Also ofc he avoided Sekiro, that nigger can't beat the game in 1000 lifetimes, unless he follows some "how to cheese every boss" guide beat for beat on stream.

To each their own man, I'm not going to rag on someone liking this but I need gameplay in my game. To me it's game mechanics above all else.

If I want a beautiful landscape I'll just go hiking or something.

That’s fair, and playing a painting can get boring after a while. My biggest gripe is people who won’t have this talk and will say.

“Gameplay isn’t my kind of gameplay, game is shit and anyone likes it is shit.”

 

[1st Kiwi Panzer Division]

It has soul but I struggle to understand why HK blew up to the degree it did. Maybe because metroidvanias have always presented themselves as a sort of nerdy, hardcore genre, whereas HK is the opposite and made an effort to appeal to casuals, especially with the big Switch release and so on.

I’d say possible the art style, it’s extremely visually appealing, Other than that, no clue.

>Silksong releases
>is a hit
>everyone praises it
>males developers/publishers seethe
>decides to not review in favor of doing slop content
>complains about low views


Watching spiral harder into the depths of coping when views start to decline. For someone who wants to be seen and engaged with does everything in his power to not be seen and engaged with.

At first i was all in for the occasional doomer hour, but now it has overstayed its welcome and all it does for the channel is just low effort content while monetizing stories of people who are equal or more fucked than synth(although some stories i believe to be fake). Also him moving out will serve to fuck with his content even more because if he is lazy now, imagine when he moves out and has to juggle things. Unless he has the most life changing post-nut clarity and realizes that he has to turn shit around he will ho.on permanent decline into a future where he is younger dsp alongside people a-logging him hard.

It would be very easy to spin this into a video. Mocking AAA/woke developers and publishers is a perfect angle to take since he's in that ballpark. He could then talk about the difficulty and open ended nature being refreshing in a landscape full of handholdy games.
This is all on top of it being a massive success and controversial for its difficulty from what I've read.
It shouldn't be surprising that he completely missed that opportunity. He couldn't even muster the will to play that new Bloober game for more than a bit, let alone review it. His transformation into Gen Z's personal DSP is inevitable.

Popular thing is le bad. It's typical /v/ brainrot in action. Grifting off of /v/ users by spouting their posts back at them is Coby's bread and butter. He doesn't actually know shit about video games.
Things must be tough with wokeslop slowing down. Now he has to nitpick the littlest things to cry about since he has no practical knowledge or charismatic draw. Just his pissing, pouting and negativity.

Nah Soulscrap is shit and definitely the "brown cover shooter" of this generation. I'll concede Nioh is different enough to still be novel though, I myself enjoy it a lot unlike the rolling/input lag simulators

As far as I'm aware, the only real cheese available is with Demon of Hatred; making him fall off the map.

That is the game I really want to see him play, cuz I know there will be seething galore. You think Eldern Ring DLC gave us his biggest rage yet? Just you wait for Sekiro.

I want to see him play Battlefield 6, a competitive shooter like that will truly break him due to his extreme lack of gaming skills and his drunken braindead impaired hand-eye coordination and reaction time, not to mention his very short baby-like attention span and propensity for temper tantrums. It will forever banish him into the baby game realm, where unskilled baby gamers like him belong.

Not competitive enough. A game like cs or r6s(he's only played the casual playlist) would really show how good his reflexes and critical thinking skills are; Not to mention cooperating skills too, since you have to play alongside other people to achieve the objective.

True, but he will say those games are too competitive or old or shitty or whatever other excuses he comes up with. BF6 is a big new game so he will have more reason and incentive to play/review it for them sweet sweet YouTube views, but seeing how he has been going lately with big new games it will probably just devolve into yet another "Battlefield is DEAD" doomer cringefest jerkoff video, unless he gets so angry at how shitty he is at the game that he just refunds it without making any video about it at all because of his laziness and just does another doomer story Breakers coping stream instead.

 

[00R-Gundam]

I think hes too accustomed to baby platformers that he cant no longer enjoy challenge when it presents itself in games.

 

[PunishedNoodle]

Battlefield is DEAD

I don't believe he's played most of the battlefield games, so he'd be just talking out of his ass.

 

[Kharash]

I think hes too accustomed to baby platformers that he cant no longer enjoy challenge when it presents itself in games.

His dislike of Jak 2 is pretty telling as well as it's harder than the usual baby platformers. Not that it isn't annoying as fuck at times, but still.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the Jak 2 video is another planned video that never happened. Lazy faggot.

 

[Libera Nos A Malo]

simping, not even once

You simp in your teenage years so you grow in adulthood. This motherfucker isn't even that, he's stuck in childhood with his baby games and the 'Me! Me! Me!' attitude.

And even if you were not to believe it, mantaining the relationship seems equally as bad, especially for someone like Synth. What will he do when all the exposure to /v/ will leave him not trusting his woman to buy groceries for the paranoia of getting cucked?

This is why even if the Lea creature is a skinny french babe obsessed with him, I can 100% guarantee he will learn the hard way that what he what he wanted for his life (wife and kids) is impossible. His past 16+ years have been a mix of addictions, destructive personality, and narcissim. HE FANTASIZES ABOUT WOMEN WITH PENISES HUMILIATING AND FUCKING HIM IN THE ASS, FOR FUCKS SAKE! I hope he gets that ''''''''''girl'''''''''' so we can get some prime cow content.

As far as I'm aware, the only real cheese available is with Demon of Hatred; making him fall off the map.

There are some more cheese strats in the game, but for a first time player, because it's not an RPG and can't level up to compensate, you are entirely dependent on skill. I can almost imagine the rage when fighting Genichiro (1st filter) and then Guardian Ape (2nd filter). He would probably end the stream right there saying the game is decent but not as fun as his nostalgic Dark Souls 1. And I also guarantee he would get bored of chasing the Folding Screen Monkeys within 2 minutes and would look at the chat for the solution.

He classifies Sekiro as a 'rhythm game' which is as retarded as me saying his baby RE4 is just a hallway on-rails shooter. The guy simply has no good taste in videogames, and porn fried what was left of his neurons.

 

[PunishedNoodle]

ecause it's not an RPG and can't level up to compensate, you are entirely dependent on skill.

Increasing health and flasks helps a little but overall, yeah.

when fighting Genichiro (1st filter)

The game clicked for me with that boss.

He classifies Sekiro as a 'rhythm game'

That one doesn't even make sense. The enemies/bosses have a set number of combos and attacks that they can randomly start. Games have to have a flow. Does he want even more ultra fast and unpredictable attacks thrown at you? Dark Souls games too have a rhythm of you just rolling around the enemies' attacks. It seems more apparent in Sekiro because the swords connect, and I think that's really cool; Makes me feel like engaged and like I'm in some samurai film.

This one /v/-tarded statement about Sekiro always pisses me off. Sekiro is the literal antithesis of what a rhythm game is, these retards just thought it sounds cool and will parrot that nonsense till the end of time.

Precisely! Every game with tight mechanics is by his definition a 'rhythm game'. To perfect the game, you need to repeatetly perfect the timings = rhythm/flow. Attacking/dodging in action games, accelerating/braking/cornering in racing games, even in his baby platformers you need to time the jumps.

The Sekiro slander might be the most idiotic take on an action game of the recent years. It's a 10/10 game, and the best game FromSoftware has ever released, on par with Bloodborne (maybe even better since it doesn't have the cult mentality of FromSoftware austitic loretrannies or of a playstation exclusive).
