shifty51, to games in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Fans Really Aren't Happy With Baldur's Gate 3's GOTY Win

In this article birds hate fish for living in water. SM2 is fun but derivative of a format that they just used versus the most dynamic storytelling in a video game since Skyrim came out. Be mad, but the comparison is ridiculous

YouTube is super weird. I had uploaded some audio cassette tapes that I had found at my grandma's. She lived near a nuclear power plant and when the facility was built in the 80s they had handed out audio casettes to people in the area with information about what to do in emergencies, who to call for information, etc. I digitized the cassettes and put them on YouTube and they were taken down within a day. No idea why, never given a reason. It's public information as it was handed out by power plant and city government.

YouTube eventually responded, intending to leave a message in two tweets. However, it only sent one tweet, and just… forgot to send the next part, I suppose.

“Upon careful review, we’ve confirmed that your channel was suspended for violating Google’s Terms of Service,” says YouTube support. “While it didn’t violate any YouTube channel monetization policies, it’s linked to a Google acct that has an issue.”

Since we never got the second part of that message, we have no idea what caused the channel’s ban, and why it kicked in shortly after Wiles shared a VOD of her Baldur’s Gate 3 stream. In any case, her Twitch channel is still up, if you’re hoping to tune in to her next Baldur’s Gate session.

Absolutely bizarre. What kind of Google Account issue can get you banned from YouTube? They already killed all their other social platforms, so it can’t be something she did on Groups or Chat. (Did these get merged into + and Hangouts before being killed off? They’ve had so many of these.) Maybe she did a chargeback on a Play Store purchase or something? I feel like that would be pretty obvious to her, though, and she seems as confused as everyone else.

lemmyvore,

Groups are still alive, sort of. The only time I run into one of them nowadays is when it’s being used for technical support by app makers.

Maybe copyright infringement on her voice?

spwyll,

I have actually received a copyright infringement notice for posting a video I made for my own music, so this is actually possible. Not likely, but possible.

No one knows why… “Says sphincter 25 times” lol that’s pretty hilarious

@obinice@lemmy.world avatar

Sphincter isn’t a bad word though, it’s just what we call the many various tube closing methods we have throughout the body.

Besides, if you can be banned for saying a swearword on YouTube, I have a few creators that need to be reported in that case…

Darkncoldbard,

I wasn’t saying it was a bad word I was saying it’s hilarious you can be banned for saying sphincter 25 times

So 23 sphincters is the safe zone, got it!

Darkncoldbard,

I was gonna say 24 but yea to be safe we’ll call it 23

Yeah 23 gives you that safety net with ability to still push the boundaries in a hopefully safe but risky way.

Well clearly Google knows. Or is at least pretending to know.

Cqrd,

Google likes to hide behind their AI black box as an excuse at times like these, so they may actually not know why

Is this one of those articles that take a handful of tweets and try to make people react at them on social media

Big clickbait energy

I’ve played both. Spider-Man was my GOTY by far. But I’m a big Spidey fan. That being said, Baulders Gate 3 is THE game of the year by far. That game is an incredible step for all RPGs, and games in general. It 1000% deserves all of the praise and awards it has gotten and may continue to get in the future.

I can’t wait for Spider-Man 3. :)

SlowNPC, to games in You Should Have To Commit Mass Murder To Recruit Minthara In Baldur's Gate 3, Actually
@SlowNPC@kbin.social avatar

Meh. She's still a "secret" party member that you're very unlikely to accidentally unlock on a good run.

This is just letting experienced forum-rrading players recruit her a bit more easily.

ZombiFrancis, to games in You Should Have To Commit Mass Murder To Recruit Minthara In Baldur's Gate 3, Actually

You don’t though. The druids and tieflings kill each other under a few circumstances and the goblins just clean up after. Din’t have to kill anyone to get Minthara recruited.

However it is still exclusive to having Halsin, Wyll, and Karlach as party members, which is certainly a tradeoff.

So… even a ‘good’ version where you recruit her isn’t insane. Not to mention the circumstances of recruiting her are compatible since it involves mind wiping.

But I do love how she takes zero fucking responsibility for anything up to that point because it makes her a much more interesting character than your average villain redemption arc.

Now you do have to agree to some genocide to bang the drow lady, but that’s a separate issue.

Worth it.

Computerchairgeneral, to gaming in The Inside Story Of Fable 3, The Game That Broke Its Creators' Hearts

Interesting read. I really liked Fable 3's Industrial Revolution setting, but it did feel like the game was on fast forward once you actually got the throne. It's a shame they weren't able to make it the experience they wanted it to be.

They’re really gonna mention Lego Rock Raiders without a single nod to the unofficially sanctioned and free remake?

Cavemanfreak,

That just released 1.0 a few months ago at that. It’s really good!

LEGO City Undercover is a fantastic game. I always described to others as Grand Theft Auto: Lego. The only problem was the long load times on the WiiU. I don’t know if it’s any better for other systems.
