I'm not sure if anyone on staff reads these or if there's a "correct" place to provide feedback for the product that premium subs are consuming, but this UPF is the first episode I've dipped out of watching and have no intention of coming back to. While watching I was becoming disinterested with how far I'd gone in the episode without any video game talk and started jumping forward in the episode, only to find that the only game played was one that was already separated out in a Quick Look.
I guess I feel like this is a pretty pivotal point in how I'm consuming Giant Bomb, where before I just kinda watched everything because it was all stuff I wanted to see–now it feels like I have to prune what I'm watching either so I don't consume dupes (QL/UPF crossover), or prune WHO I'm watching because it just won't contain video game stuff.
I don't know if I'd call this a "complaint", but I guess I just wanted to comment saying that it's a pretty concrete example of how Giant Bomb is no longer becoming "for me" in the way that it used to, and I find myself turning to other sources for content now that I already have to prune things. i.e. before, it was a one stop shop where I could just watch everything, now it's just another feed that I have to prune, which is less than ideal and lowers my resistance to jumping over to other YouTube or Twitch streamers instead.
But eh, I'm just a rando person and Giant Bomb has always been about them doing their own thing and having confidence in it, which I also respect. So maybe I'm just supposed to dip out and not make it my concern.
On a positive note, Voidburger is great; I love the dynamic they've brought to the videos they're in!
No comments here mentioning the couple instances of loud... popping(?) noises. Listening to this with headphones on legitimately startled me and made me think my dog knocked something over in the other room or something.
Hey @benpack, I know you don't mean anything mean by it and it's super-ingrained, but it's probably nothing but positive if more people referred to their opponent as "they" instead of "he"–especially in fighting games.
