C1 all day. With Sony you're paying more for higher brightness and maybe bit more accurate colors but that's splitting hairs. If you really must have higher brightness then go for the LG G1. You can't beat LG's track record with VRR and HDMI 2.1 in all of their HDMI ports. Those features are essential for gaming and the software for setting optimizations have only gotten better with the C1 that I barely had to fuss with any settings like I did with the CX.
Just to negative is a pretty apt name for this fairly negative thread but jokes aside I don’t understand the Jess complaints. She clearly understands video games on many levels and is also able to articulate her opinions very well. She is a terrific hire and I personally find her to be much better addition to the GB team than Ben and Abby ever were. I very much look forward to hearing Jess’s thoughts in the upcoming GoTY talks.
With that said I still chose to let my sub lapse partly because I’ve been watching less and less content from here over time even before most of the OG crew left, that trend only accelerated after their departures. Also the current direction of new content apart from Grubb Snax is absolutely not to my liking.
I’ll keep listening to the Bombcast though. Thanks GB for siloing Ben away to the Dumptruck.
Sure, telling the subbie to clear it just because he's voicing his own concerns about a site he's contributing to is a great way to foster long term growth. No wonder these forums are so anemic.
@emospacemonkey: only replying to point out that the phrase, "late stage post-capitalist" whatever sounds silly when capitalism isn't going anywhere. The internet is just fast approaching a subscribe to everything environment because ad dollars are all being sucked up into FB, YouTube/Google, and Amazon while ad-blockers are being used nearly everywhere.
Also didn't they all talk about putting together some sort of office situation again, or did I just make that up from a hopeless fever dream?
I don't see how that can happen when Jeff B is in NJ, Jeff G is in Canada, Jason in GA, and Jan in CA.
And I'm getting less optimistic with each passing month on the crew being frank about what's going on here maybe because the corp probably would intervene.
My last comment was before I read that excerpt from Mike's tweet. A lot of that lines up with where I saw Gamespot going. They've been going down the algorithm rabbit hole for a while now chasing FB and YT eyeballs. It would be hard to scale up GB in a similar fashion and it truly looks like it's really the subscription model that is keeping the dream alive on this side of the fence which is why they are going to try to pump out new "shows" to keep justifying the subscription.
Long term though I'm extra worried about what will happen and the more info about the overlords that comes out the more smarter the Nextlander folks continue to look, at least to me they do. I really hope GB starts adding more content that grabs my attention.
I don’t like most anime so I really have to go off on suggestions from close friends. Haven’t been super sucked into an anime since FMA Brotherhood and the last one I enjoyed was Carole & Tuesday which I only watched because I’ll watch anything Watanabe is involved with.
A friend did recommend me Tokyo Ghoul which I recently started watching and that’s been fine for me so far, glad to see there are animes that don’t drag their feet when it comes to plot.
I may not like the vast majority of the new content but they don’t give me the vibe that they’re going to chase trends or the daily hype bullshit. Gamespot and IGN seem to be way further down that road than most.
Not really surprised here. If anything it sounds like RV are willing to help finance a site well enough for the beneficiaries to take a real shot at their aspirations, kind of like what’s going on here at GB and also probably CNET where they are increasing hiring. The other side of all this though is that at the end of the day RV wants to make money so they may come down hard on these subsidiaries if they don’t end up delivering.
Jeff G and Jeff B have a lot on their plate to make this happen and I wish them the best. Personally though, in the long term I’ll probably hop off the GB train because if it wasn’t for GrubbSnax I would think that there’s nothing the new GB has for me anymore apart from the usual Bombcasts
