My new philosophy on youtube. I& #39;ve held back on my "brashness" let& #39;s call it, in order to make sure I& #39;m palatable in some capacity. I actually don& #39;t give a shit anymore, starting now. This was something I was already thinking about...
But I don& #39;t make money off of it anyway, I wish I did, but I dont, so I& #39;m just happy I give people who actually enjoy my content a little bit of joy. That being said there& #39;s no need to hold back. Another thing that motivates this...
Is how retarded the retro game community is. I know I base my channel off games but I can& #39;t stomach ever saying I& #39;m part of ANY community. I& #39;m Patrick and I just happen to appreciate good game design and art. I& #39;m my own person and seeing elitist snobs...
fighting over how you play games is a dick measuring competition. Even people that are good resources like Voultar have this aura of pretentiousness. Or you get the vanilla safe youtuber retro game "consuuumer" that has a room that looks like they robbed a nintendo amusement park
If you like retro games, you don& #39;t have to be a stereotype to the hobby. You don& #39;t need to own a pvm to impress your reddit "friends" and it& #39;s totally fine if you& #39;re content with a raspberry pi.
People want to fit in so bad (in every clique/ community) that they for go a complex and multilayered personality for a walking stereotype to said group of their choosing. You become a parrot.
Here& #39;s an off the cuff take, the new retrotink 5x is too expensive. Yes I know the frame meister costed more on release and does less than the 5x, but try convincing anyone other than a retro enthusiasts to cough up 300 bucks
that& #39;s not including the cost of cables such as scart, hd retrovison component cables, splitters, you& #39;re paying more than 400-500 bucks when you can get a new console for that price. This is why people gravitate towards pi& #39;s
And look, I& #39;m sure mike put a lot of blood sweat and tears into the 5x, indie devs have to, I wouldn& #39;t be surprised if the cost is justified, But 300 bucks is still a lot.
This thread went in 50 directions, I don& #39;t expect anyone to read this shit, or like it for that matter, but what ever gaming path you choose, just be real about it. Don& #39;t be snob and you don& #39;t have to always agree with said "experts" or vanilla take youtubers. The End.
