Doug TenNapel plays Earthworm Jim

[Anonymous No.5463778]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ0-ySedCPc

The creator of Earthworm Jim plays his own game. Honestly he's not that great at it, but I thought it was of interest to /vr/ because he occasionally drops some info about his & others' involvement with the game's development which is interesting, such as the fact he drew the famous EWJ logo with just a shitty Bic pen.

That's really cool, I love shit like this.
There was a playthrough of Conker's Bad Fur Day with original devs but it's incomplete (called the "Conker King" channel). Not to mention GameHut does it from time to time. Any other videos of devs playing their own games and imparting some rare dev insight?

For Earthworm Jim, he was one of the main character designers, and also one of the animators. But he was lead designer for The Neverhood, Skullmonkeys and Amikrog.

Also altough having the feeling that you're just not a so smart person, get into metaphysics and thomism to realize that existence can't exist without a cause and a creator.

The truth is that humans and more generally all life on earth have evolved to perceive only a limited representation of the universe. The true nature of reality and the universe as a whole is literally imperceptible to us which accounts for the seemingly unaccountable problem of self-creation. There’s some fundamental aspect of reality we literally cannot perceive, the same way we literally cannot perceive or even interact with dark matter. Hell, the remote you use to watch TV relies on infrared light, a component of the light spectrum completely imperceptible to humans. It exists, it’s real, and more importantly it explains the seemingly impossibile feat of interacting with a television set from a distance which would be otherwise inexplicable without knowledge of its existance.

Socially awkward white guys have always embraced the narrative of being oppressed and misunderstood. 20 years ago the internet was full of whiny lame white guys talking about "oppressed" they are as atheists, but it's The Current Year and atheism is, for the most part, socially accepted unless you live in a small southern town, so they needed to find another excuse for why nobody likes them. It's literally just nerds attaching labels to themselves for pity-points (which is ironically the same thing they accuse liberal white women of doing). The guy who sexually harassed me and several of my friends, when he was being questioned by HR, claimed that he was being targeted for his Christian views. Fuck that guy and anyone who defends him.

Webster's definition of Bigoted:


bigoted adjective
big·ot·ed | \ ˈbi-gə-təd
\
Definition of bigoted

: blindly devoted to some creed, opinion, or practice
//… Mr. Harding himself was not a bigoted man on points of church doctrine …
— Anthony Trollope

especially : having or showing an attitude of hatred or intolerance toward the members of a particular group (such as a racial or ethnic group)

Nowhere in there does it state it can only be towards a minority. You're literally rewriting the English language to fit your incorrect narrative.

Of course it's possible. Even in sociology classes they never say that it's not. Some people try to argue they can't be racist, according to their specific definition of racism, but they won't deny that those groups can still be prejudiced/bigoted.
