6:51 PME. Zachary Knight​Hello Everyone

6:59 PMRyotaiku​How's Kiwami 2?

7:09 PMRyotaiku​Why did the chicken cross the road? To get the highest score!

7:22 PMCodeNameZ​hi

7:23 PMCodeNameZ​Sorry for beeing late I was playing Crash on my Switch

7:29 PMCodeNameZ​You wanna see and edit a mans junk?

7:31 PMCodeNameZ​You know how many channels would get copyright strikes because they show a mans junk on channel?

7:32 PMCodeNameZ​I think the developer once says VVVVV is read as "weeeeee"

7:39 PMCodeNameZ​"There is a new game" Really people are still making games

7:40 PMaddictedtochaos​Sorry I’m late, storms came through and knocked out power.

7:41 PMCodeNameZ​In Brawlhalla there is a LGBT flag that can be set even as a taunt in game

7:42 PMaddictedtochaos​I see where both sides are coming from.

7:42 PMA Leaf​It's really not a big deal. It's no different than including the flag of the USSR

7:44 PMA Leaf​so should we ban terrorists in videogames?

7:45 PMA Leaf​There are still marauding hordes of terrorist organizations in the world. Should be censor them from games like in CoD?

7:45 PMaddictedtochaos​In CoD you are fighting the terrorists though.

7:46 PMCodeNameZ​Yea but we are talking about a game that have worst of the worst in one place if anything having a neo nazi tattoo would fit perfectly

7:47 PMScottyJayMan​If they wanted realism, they should replace the Nazi symbol with “MAGA”

7:47 PMA Leaf​Oh I didn't know it was the player character. That's a little more on the strange side.

7:51 PMCodeNameZ​But are Nazis such a big deal in todays world? I mean when is the last big thing nazis did? There are so far a small group of people that cannot do much

7:51 PMAndrew Eisen​Are you kidding? What country do you live in?

7:51 PMA Leaf​Yeah I agree that certain people like to exaggerate how big of a threat modern day nazis are.

7:52 PMA Leaf​I believe that many people who have nothing to do with fascism get labelled it too loosely today.

7:52 PMA Leaf​I live in Canada if that matters for some reason

7:54 PMScottyJayMan​I live in Australia and we just had a senator use the term “ Final Solution” in their speech to the senate. It’s a big problem.

7:55 PMScottyJayMan​You’d have to wonder if Microsoft or Nintendo were in the same position sales wise if they would still allow cross play.

7:56 PMaddictedtochaos​The roles were reversed in previous gen. And Microsoft said no.

7:56 PMCodeNameZ​You can play PS4 on a train with no problem you just need a mini TV and a portable power generatior

7:56 PMScottyJayMan​I can confirm if your account is Sony locked you can still cross play with Xbox Switch if you ...

7:00 PMmatthew wilson​for ezk

7:03 PMmatthew wilson​I can wait a few hw cycles, for it not to be a massive performance hit, but dam that real time ray tracing stuff is dam impressive

7:04 PMaddictedtochaos​did you use a wii remote or classic controller?

7:06 PMMorello 456​Who do u think would win Tom morello or slash

7:07 PMaddictedtochaos​Slash easy

7:08 PMaddictedtochaos​Have that coming on Switch from Limited Run.

7:12 PMmatthew wilson​best thing to come froom infinity war was the subredit that banned 1/2 the subs

7:12 PMmatthew wilson​lol

7:12 PMScottyJayMan​I can’t watch the movies anymore knowing Jonny drop is a domestic violence bastard and Geoffrey rush is a sexual predator

7:12 PMAndrew Eisen​I hear ya.

7:13 PMaddictedtochaos​He’s scared of Thanos

7:15 PMDizzy Phantom​?

7:16 PMmatthew wilson​well the next gardain's movie is on hold

7:16 PMaddictedtochaos​Rocket and war machine

7:18 PMScottyJayMan​Here’s the big question, does Iron Fist survive.

7:21 PMaddictedtochaos​Would be nice if they referenced the movies a little more.

7:22 PMmatthew wilson​long been done with the marval stuff, all action, no world. its hard to care

7:25 PMmatthew wilson​still stand by earth's mighty's heros was the best version of the avengers, but person taste

7:26 PMaddictedtochaos​Apparently the why is gammora (sp?) was ad-libbed.

7:27 PMmatthew wilson​apparently disney has a 50 ep rule, so regardless of how popular a show gets, they keep actors ect from demanding too much

7:31 PMmatthew wilson​dont blame amazon, thats most of their cut gone

7:32 PMaddictedtochaos​Was either cutting into their bottom line too much or they were being pressured by the publishers.

7:33 PMScottyJayMan​If they pass on the added cost to their employees, I’d be cool with that

7:33 PMmatthew wilson​just dont buy prime than. the 2 day shipping alone is worth it+ video service ant bad

7:34 PMmatthew wilson​also if you watch alot of twitch a free $2,5 to a twitch streamer you watch is good

7:34 PMmatthew wilson​even with the ads being re enstated
