The Giant Beastcast: Episode 71

It would be one thing if Palmer Lucky was just putting money into something stupid but when you contribute to the horrible crap then that's something else. He deleted all of them since the story got traction, but he favorited or retweeted a lot of terrible garbage his neo-nazi girlfriend (or friend, whatever) posted on twitter. That's not circulating funny memes for the lolz, that's circulating hate speech.

Good on those developers cutting support of the platform.

Jeff, Vinny and Alex...I love you guys. In a totally straight way.

Life is too short to be bothered by funny people goofing on an ad they recorded an hour earlier. If you only listen to premium feeds, you've missed a lot of funny interactions between the people you like enough to pay for a subscription.

I love you Jeff Bakalar but please reconsider what you said during this podcast, not even asking to talk about it this week (but I feel like you guys might still). Palmer Luckey isn't some naive young boy, he is an adult who put his money into really stupid shit and he should get shit on for that reason.

Phew boy, that ad conspiracy theorist at the end. If you honestly think there is something at play there, you should probably just unsubscribe and be done with it. Not much help you can be given.

If the writer about building a PC is that concerned about potentially making a friend, I feel the answer is easy - don't let the guy build it for you. I don't understand why you'd be so insistent against learning how to do it yourself, though.

Even being a Naruto fan, I was amused by how amused Vinny was at Boruto. It is a pretty dumb thing when you first hear it.

@dray2k: The Forza series has a whole livery editor, and you bet there are plenty of character-based vinyls for the cars!

So it is toxic because it is memes? If he has posted stuff that is terrible or they have posted stuff that is terrible please show evidence of it. But what exactly is shit posting? Memes in and of them self are not bad - shit posting is not something I am familiar with.

I just wanted to congrats everyone for not getting this comment thread locked. And it seems people with different opinions here. Good job. But - go Gary Johnson.

@azuregale: Oh, now I'm thinking to buy a nice christmas present for me and my car-enthusiastic friends, thanks for the heads up. The game is still fairly expensive but I do love me some Anime/Manga-based things on cars (and creating my own ones, too).

I could spend weeks on that sort of thing.

Having you mention pcgamer and coconut monkey warms my heart! Man I loved the old pcgamer demo discs. And I am glad someone else mentioned the ad mentions in the premium podcast as yeah I noticed that to...

I love you guys, but I have never been more disappointed in TheBeastcast crew. I don't care that Palmer Lucky supported a pro Donald Trump group. I don't even feel particularly strongly about 'Hillary Shitposting'. However, your failure to denounce Palmer Lucky's association with the White-Supremacists and Anti-Semites that run and moderate the Nimble America page (as well as other more overtly racist pages) breaks my heart. As a minority (both in ethnicity and in religion) I have never felt more like I was listening to 3 white guys who just don't get it, even though they mean well, than I did today.

Prince of Persia is a mediocre Pirates of the Caribbean knockoff, but I'd still rather watch it over any other video game movie. At least it's fun.
