Buried under the layers NL is a great guy. He's cucked to hell and back by his atrocious wife. He's cucked to just hell by self censoring to not get corporate canceled. He's cucked to purgatory by self censoring to not get woke canceled.

On a serious note, his self hatred shtick is really sad. He denigrates all men and himself included designating them to be sacrifices at the altar of superior women. He shies away from challenge and failure with excuses that there is an invisible hierarchy of respectable tasks. Despite tacitly admitting that all activities are frivolous, but he can't help himself to moralize HIS decisions.

Somewhere there is a reality where he never gets married or marries even just a pleasant to be around woman. That version of NL would mold culture around himeself rather than being molded by it.

nothing is killing roguelikes either because the people who play them pretty clearly people who try to talk to about roguelites as if they were roguelikes to fuck right off and stop being a spastic nigger. not to mention that there is a significant amount of overlap between the people who play roguelikes and people who are capable of making roguelikes, far higher than most other genres.
the fact that some of the most popular and influential roguelikes are just 1 guys game and its a lot like books where it doesn't really matter how much shit you dislike that gets released, there are always people writing what they like and you can read their shit since you can do it solo and its easy to distribute.

I love ToME, and it literally is just 1 guy, sure there are some people who contribute code to some of the open source engine parts and gets ideas from other, but it is just 1 dudes game. you can't really stop 1 autist just making their game

If we're going to psychoanalyze the guy my diagnosis begins and ends with his cunt wife. NL's problems all stem from a lack of respect.

It goes back further than Kate, NL was never popular with women growing up. It was a huge sore spot for him as a young adult, which is totally normal and near universal shared male experience unless you were top 5% attractive. Now add his IQ gap to that and he was even further alienated. Of course he wasn't an omega incel, but he wasn't successful either. Humans are creatures and the biologic compulsion to breed is a hell of a drug on the mind. It can make you feel like a total failure despite succeeding in every other metric.

Kate comes along and fills in that hole. But the baggage she comes with is not worth the squeeze. He now has crippling levels of not feeling respected by his retarded wife and her psychotic, bug status obsessed, extended family. All the performative normie fitting in behavior stems from trying to prove he is worthy of respect from those closest to him. It's really sad to see honestly.

Despite tacitly admitting that all activities are frivolous, but he can't help himself to moralize HIS decisions.
NL literally only gives genuine responses to questions about movies, music, and pop culture from 2005 and earlier. Likewise, he's pretty candid about his opinion of sponsored games after the sponsorship ends and twitch in general which is about as authentic as you can expect from someone whose paycheck depends on people continuing to give him those offers. If you think his "all women are queens" shtick is real or that he "shies away from challenge" when he does shit like spending 30+ hours 100% trickshot simulator then you're not grasping the chat-streamer banter he's courting. Outside of his crippling roguelite addiction, he plays games that either his group is foisting upon him and/or games that have a low competitive focus because the backseat chatters become intolerable if he plays anything the slightest bit sweaty.

Kate isn't even that bad aside from being wholely uninteresting and occasionally unintelligable since she speaks twitch english with a gook accent. Chibli and his gay friend that insist on labeling nothing statements problematic (along with their zoomer chatters that cross-pollinate on his streams) are the real blight and you solve 85% of that issue by only watching his solo streams. His semi-ironic peleton shilling used be grating but he's pulled back on that this year.

I wonder if twitch streamers feel any sort of guilt for how responsible they are for this. It is literally one to one for how the current state of AAA games are caused by trying to appeal to soulless shareholders, the current state of indie games being "what if current popular (usually roguelike) thing but in as different dimension/genre" are directly caused by trying to appeal to twitch streamers. Faggots like Northernlion are responsible for this.

You have the power dynamic backwards. His paycheck comes from viewers not sponsored games. NL was and unfortunately still is a kingmaker. NL was responsible for foisting trash like balatro onto us all. His sincere lack of interest in even playing games is a major problem when retards like you download his opinions. It's hilarious that you think backseating should even factor into this at all. All it would take is like 2 streams of banning backseaters on sight to fix that. Other streams and streamers with near comparable size audiences (6k-4k range) can wrangle their chat to eliminate the backseat bogeyman.

At the end of the day he's just not interested in video games anymore for a large variety of reasons. Literally the only game I've seen him actually play and get sucked into engaging with the gameplay was Nightreign.

I'm not saying he is a journo level of cancer on game tastemaking, but he is damn near close. Especially for how much power he wields and then squanders it on utter trash.

I think it's funny that backseating only became a problem a few years ago because streamers got too self conscious about relying on their viewers for everything. In the old days, you just made a video telling people to not tell you shit, and most of the time they would obey. Now you have to deliberately set rules that any comment giving you advice is on the same level as typing a personalized insult towards your whole character.

It became a popular meme genre like survival craft.

You are defeating your own point. His money comes from his audience. His audience is the “kingmaker” not him. You are feeding the myth that streamers actually create the zeitgeist rather than chase it for money.

seeing streamers complain about backseating and then their example is someone telling them in detail something, which is fair and valid.... but in the clip they are also explicitly asking said thing and then someone tells them, so I don't really understand what they would expect if they ask a question and then it gets answered.
It is such a crazy overreaction they have when its their own fault.

He seems a bit disingenuous about his relationship with the biggest streamers, pretty sure he's just keeping it cordial to maximize profit. The man tried to get off the content creator train a while back before he really blew up so I believe he's pretty level headed about that stuff.
Think he was pretty centrist or admitted to some such political thoughts years ago and he still pokes fun at the furries hyper leftist audience every now and again.

>His paycheck comes from viewers not sponsored games.
He does sponsored streams so at least part of his revenue comes from that.
>NL was responsible for foisting trash like balatro onto us all.
Balatro wasn't sponsored and was being pushed by more streamers than just him at the start, Ludwig being the big one. Aside from that, let's just look at the scenario: a guy streams himself playing a game he enjoys and that are some of the most popular streams he's done. This isn't some agenda he's pushing. What's the issue?
>His sincere lack of interest in even playing games is a major problem when retards like you download his opinions.
He plays what he enjoys playing and has an interest in dedicating time to understand. The medium isn't owed him playing shit other than deckbuilder slop. NL didn't log into your Steam acccount and buy Balatro. Be a free thinker and choose not to buy slop. I watched one Balatro stream and managed to both not buy it and decide the game looked like shit. It's not hard to vote with your wallet. Moreover, who tf watches NL for gameplay? The ongoing joke is that he's perpetually shit at most games and stumbles into success in spite of that. His best content on average are nothing meme games like Agreeeeee/Password Game or the dles.
>It's hilarious that you think backseating should even factor into this at all. All it would take is like 2 streams of banning backseaters on sight to fix that.
You don't get the vibe of the stream then. He engagementfarms by chastising those people in an exaggerated manner. Banning them changes the chat dynamic because then mods get trigger happy and it signals that streamer is not supposed to be challenged at all which prevents those interactions from happening.

You can't stop backseaters they will always pop up. I find streamers who are insane anti-backseaters are more annoying than the actual backseating. I see a lot of streamers who are absolutely adamant about no help and then will get stuck on random bullshit and bash their head into the wall for an hour while chat is bored out of their minds.

Then someone will accidentally think out loud in the chat about something that might work (they have no idea either) and the whole chat goes nuts to be the first simp to post THE RULES and get them banned. retards

You can absolutely establish a line between the two extremes of a free for all and your entire chat freaking out and dogpiling every backseat comment. All it takes is the streamer not/barely feeding into talking about backseating at all and mods sniping comments. The reason people say "chat reflects the streamer" is because chat discusses what the streamer draws attention to.

yeah if all they do is keep asking questions about something and then getting upset when people answer it, they need to stop phrasing things as a question and make them a statement.
there is such a big difference between
>I don't know what to do here
>should I try X? or Y?
>I just can't figure it out

vs

>I don't know what to do here
>We will try X and if that doesn't work Y
>Otherwise I don't have and more ideas and we will need to see what happens then

one is asking questions and trying to get people to answer you, the other is just directly talking through their thoughts and setting exceptions. the problem is that streamers are constantly trying to bait people into engaging and talking so they do it even when they really should not do it then complain it happens.

This is true anon, every single “content creator” always chases the dollar. It’s always about the algorithm, it’s always about viewers, it’s always about money. Enjoyment? The only way it factors into their choice of stream is if it impacts how much money they’ll make. As in, if he bored by a game he feels like he won’t be entertaining = less subs.

only the path to Mother isn't very intuitive.

Mausoleum's door you approach it and it takes away a heart, tough luck if you only had one (it's never openly said that Lost enters for free, so there's that). Mother requires you to teleport out of Mom's bossrom and give away the polaroid/negative

I’m not saying he’s full sell out. NL is smart enough to know that full sell out is a business risk anyways. The other thing is the big fomo, FOTM style games are actually hit or miss viewership wise. When stuff really blows up it usually gets saturated in waves, where you could end up streaming in the trough. Also look at it this way some people don’t want to watch the new fotm, so the regularly scheduled content is always evergreen.

But what I am saying is it’s always about money.

Think about it. What games do you like? What hobbies do you have in your spare time? Imagine there was a dollar sign attached to each activity. Yeah some days you don’t choose the highest dollar activity, but it’s always there, it’s always a factor in your thought process, it changes how you think.

Then they shouldn't be a streamer. if you want to play games live with thousands of people (and get paid for it) then you must accept some help and engagement especially when your dumbass is getting stuck constantly.

I once saw a girl streamer forget they picked up a key item an hour ago and proceeded to get hopelessly lost because like most streamers they're barely conscious while playing a game and more involved with reading donations and talking about random bullshit. And when someone in the chat reminded her she freaked out about how she wants to BEAT THE GAME ON HER OWN!!!!! and her mods quickly swooped in.

The issue with rougelikes is that every one of them requires that you grind it but you cant tell beforehand if its is worth it
And many devs make them to save the effort of making a real game i.e. they make roguelikes not because it is their strength and their vision but because it is the easiest
Which naturally leads to shit games
The concept is no longer novel so you have to actually make a good roguelike for it to succeed and since 95% of indies are shit that means the genre as a whole is dogshit now that the market has been flooded with shit-tier games you have to sift through

The meaning of words are literally just what society understands them to mean. They are defined by culture, not the cosmos. If you use words outside of how they are understood, then you fail to understand the purpose of language at a fundamental level.

Under your logic, every word you use that has changed over time is an incorrect usage of the word. You would be just as much of a fool as everyone else.

Thats not a desired feature though its an inherent weakness of certain languages
Which makes it very difficult if not impossible to pass down valuable traditions, culture, and information through the years as the language itself changes over time, often in unpredictable, undesirable or unintended ways.

Language adoption is also a grey area. Even if the "majority" decide to change language, there can be a minority who refuse to. That group cannot be disregarded just because the majority are using it in a new way.
And there's plenty of examples of a minority being more qualified than the majority. Would you let the average joe perform heart surgery on you?
There's probably plenty of times a doctor or other specialist uses certain language differently than a normal person. I don't think they need to change their use of the language to accommodate the lowest common denominator.

Youre a legit retard, roguelikes want to make your runs viable nearly no matter what, that's why they are more popular. they're more casual, easier.
I played brogue and rift wizard. RNG is 500 million times more of a run killer. you get a good seed or you die. there is barely skill expression. roguelikes are harder and also shittier. you just play a preplanned route decided by the pc for X runs until you get a good seed.

Also Hasan is very much still a big part of his life and will be regardless of any deflections Ludwig makes. If both of their streaming careers ended they'd definitely hang out with each other all the time considering qtcinderella loves Hasan, and I think Ludwig still loves Hasan too.

Right, and if I am a specialist in a certain area, or a part of a distinct subculture, and use language in the most accurate way to me, I will not change my usage based on the layman's opinion.
So it doesn't necessarily have to be the global majority, but perhaps the majority of whatever specific circles you are communicating in.
Basically I don't even think the type of person who is strict about "roguelike" often wants to interact with or fit in with the type of person who plays Megabonk. So they don't have to adapt their language or even be friendly about it.

A major thing that BoI gets right, and the vast majority of other roguelite games get wrong, is how the items, weapons and environment synergies.
Like, a bomb can be used in a lot of different ways, you can get the ability to create bombs, you can get bomb-weapons, you can get a ton of things that affects how bombs work, etc.
So many things can be used in various ways. There's a coin-operated machine that gives you something. Do you use coins; use enough coins that the machine explodes, hoping for a special item; or blow it up with a bomb? And that all changes if you only have a single bomb, which you're saving for the secret room, or if you have the ability to drop coins when hurt and have a few hearts lying around.
And of course the ways your attacks change when gaining abilities is second to none.
It all turns into this holistic gameplay where every room and item could change the way you approach other aspects of the game. Most roguelites are nowhere near as deep, which makes them less interesting.

You're correct only if you ignore the DLCs that make every synergy weaker and less common. If you got dr fetus + fire bombs on an old patch it would work exactly how you expect it to. If you get dr fetus + fire bombs on a new patch, you'll get a 5% chance to shoot out a fire bomb that does half the damage of what a fire bomb is supposed to do. This plus flooding every item pool with so many boring ass items that don't synergize with each other in any way. The item pool is disgustingly bloated and you don't see synergies at all anymore.

Nothing the genre is kinda saturated but otherwise it's doing fine
