MP#128 - A Waste of Tokens

GAMERS, I can explain! This episode is long overdue as @Dielan@shitposter.world has been on vacation with the family! Treat yourself to an extra long episode of the Melonmancy podcast. Holy shit we let this one go on. We had a lot to talk about.

Stuff referenced:

• Wardogs devs posted a video about why you might not like their game
• Last year Gamescom had sketchy security, seems this year was the same?
• “Should have paid us more money if you didn’t want to get robbed! - Gamescom probably“
• In this episode we talk about DHH again, and as we point out in the episode the vast majority of the hate DHH gets requires a bad-faith reading of his blog. Two posts in particular get taken out of context often, they are
  • This post arguing the need for assimilation
  • This post comparing culling wolf populations to protect livestock to deporting homeless migrants from cities that have nowhere for them to go
• VideoGamesCritic.com a new site that uses math to average user and critic scores in a way that benefits gamers and disadvantages shitty bloggers
