Let me ramble a bit.

He discussed Japanese culture and how wearing masks curbed the spread of the virus there so I do not know whether he is really anti-mask. Although he had a guest on, an epidemiologist, who downplayed the importance of wearing masks so maybe he worked backwards from his conclusion there. It was funny when Bill Burr called him out on it though.

I do not know where he stands politically because he also had Cornel West (a self-admitted radical left) and Bernie Sanders on and he was receptive and agreeable with what they had to say. Tony Hawk was also on his show. My point is sometimes he has some good guests on and he lets them talk at length about anything they want so I guess it's fine. I rarely listen to his show myself but it's always welcome when he has guests who I recognize.

Maybe it just goes with the territory of growing your show by having diverse voices from every walks of life. I recognize that's VERY PROBLEMATIC because some people with harmful ideologies can get mainstream and may radicalize simple-minded folks.

On the other hand, there is also the factor of giving someone enough rope to hang themselves exposing their hideous beliefs to other people making them less appealing. Pushing back will only deter his guests to say what is really on their mind hindering the audience to judge for themselves the true nature or agenda of his guests. It is up to the audience to think critically and to push back if they detect BS. To counter myself, guests with agenda will use insidious language leading to disingenuous discussions about important matters so that's dangerous too. But again, critical thinking hell even basic thinking, is all you need to parse through the likes of Ben Shapiro or Candace Owens.

Anyway, I do not even know why I wrote this. I am aware of the problems with Joe Rogan and I am not defending him in any way. I am just confused when people put him in a box but I guess that's fine too. People can think whatever they want.

Friend of the site Ron Funches made a guest appearance on Joe Rogan and revealed that he recently got married (amidst this pandemic even)! Congratulations duder! Overall, a fun and insightful conversation. Thought you duders should know!

Hell yeah I'm excited! Mainly because I skipped this console generation, only playing what I can on PC. I can't wait to play all the exclusives I missed on the PS4 hopefully most of them readily available at launch and enhanced for the PS5. If I had bought a PS4 then maybe my hype level wouldn't be that high but as it stands I am very much counting the days until Holiday 2020.

If you do not like reading here's a primer to one of the most pervasive solution in police reform. I think the video explains the concept of defunding the police well enough for a layman like you and me.

Not what I expected but fair enough. I thought it would have a redemption arc at the end there after the elevator ride.

I will look into every thing with a decent enough score or good word of mouth but I will never be into RTS, competitive shooters or Battle Royale-style games. There are the genres I can't get into because I suck at it. I did spend an embarrassing amount of time with MOBAs however, due to its growing popularity when I was in my teens.

As an aside, Battle Royale games have lost its appeal to me as soon as I won with my teammates the first time. I don't feel the need to do it again for some reason and when I took the winning shot it ended with little fanfare or payoff that really deflated the whole thing for me. A killcam would have been nice or an instant replay.

I want that vaguely rumored Sci-fi project led by Cory Barlog to be a reality. I haven't played God of War yet because I skipped this gen but Santa Monica Studios has been churning out only God of War since 2005 so having them create a totally new IP would be massively interesting to me.

I hang out on PS5 subreddit a lot these days and almost all of the rumors have me excited but also made the reveal a little predictable so I want to see something that is out of left field. Surprise me, Sony! Out of the rumored reveals though, I really want Silent Hill to be there and they better treat it the way Capcom treated RE2 Remake.

I'm thinking the box would not be shown yet because it should coincide with the price which I doubt they'll reveal this early given the current situation.

They should also show their SSD advantage in a more concrete way.

All in all, I am so hyped for this and I hope Sony is aware of how much is riding on this reveal.

I only listen to the podcast trifecta (Bombcast, Beastcast, and Hotspot) nowadays with the occasional video if it's interesting enough like the FMV stream Vinny did weeks ago or the Super Mario Special stream. so probably around 20% counting the videos I may have missed or are now just discovering (Giant Bomb has amassed a truly massive library of videos).
