look i know it's probably just really petty (it isn't, the whole message of this episode, even ignoring the twitch namedrop, was disgusting tbh) but i don't think i'll ever get over how one day at a time decided to alienate an entire chunk of their audience because of an assumption/stereotype they decided to not look into at all before making a whole ass episode about it. "oh just get over it" THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A SUBSCRIPTION IS. OR AN EMOTE. I DON'T EVEN THINK THEY KNOW WHAT STREAMING IS LIKE GENERALLY. TWITCH IS FREE. THERE IS NO PAYWALL TO USING THE SITE OR APP. THEY COULD'VE JUST LOOKED THIS SHIT UP OR ASKED SOMEONE WHO USES IT. DO YOU SEE HOW STUPID & FUCKED UP THIS WHOLE EPISODE IS COMPARED TO EVERYTHING THAT CAME BEFORE IT. I CAN'T GET OVER IT.
#i cannot describe my reaction to seeing this episode as anything but shellshocked#like i was sitting there & the next episode started playing but i was going through fucking war flashbacks i was NOT present#a hundred subs earned her $0??????? bitch what the actual fuck#''gamers are hyper-aggressive losers & working from home isn't a real job get off your ass & do manual labour!!!'' what the fuck dude#i think it just came out of fucking nowhere because they were all ''we're queer friendly!! we talk about mental health!!!''#& then they hit you with the ''but you should still do manual labour to get paid & also video games are the devil''#the absolute whiplash of going from genuinely progressive to satanic panic & pull yourself up by your bootstraps mentality#for the record it has literally been YEARS & every once in a while i remember & sit here in agony#like yeah dude no fucking wonder your show was cancelled you just told your entire audience gamers suck & working from home is lazy#& then got every single detail about twitch wrong. like it was a game to see how many details you could fuck up at that point#what's the point in namedropping twitch if you're not even gonna like. get any details at all even remotely correct#i cannot be the only person who couldn't watch it after that like the whole thing was stained for me#like great they support trans people & taking medication but if you can't do manual labour or you speedrun for a living you're a leech#& look i know people view twitch as a cesspit but there are a lot of cool streamers. like look at GDQ#do not blame the entire gaming/speedrunning community for the worst people there. we also hate those guys

random list of things I got to do in 2021 that were fun
this might be the shortest list yet, partly because 2021 felt sort of quieter and more withdrawn than even 2020, but also partly because I have to be able to remember things to write and I feel like I’m gonna have trouble with that lol
played Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy for the first time and became so obsessed with it I ended up beating it 50 times in January to get the achievements and gold pot, then waited the entire year until New Year’s Eve to play and beat it a 51st time. in my opinion one of the greatest video games of all time, no question about it. I’m not sure if I’ll make a tradition of playing it every New Year’s or anything but we’ll see
like I said last year, still watch GDQ every winter and summer. kept up the tradition of watching Awful Block every time with my friend Dev too. I’m not counting on it, but I’ll be curious to see if there’s any chance for them to begin holding on-site events again in 2022
2021 was the first entire year I spent as a Hololive fan, and though their content is fun to have available to watch whenever there were a couple standout streams like their Mario Kart and Pokemon tournaments that I really enjoyed watching
finished the National Pokedex in Pokemon HOME and got the gift original color Magearna. it was actually a lot more fun to try to collect every Pokemon than I thought, at least until it came down to mythical Pokemon (that part sucked)
finally acquired the last Sword/Shield ribbon, the Master Rank Ribbon, for Jin the Farfetch’d, making Jin a true Ribbon Master once again (until BDSP have HOME support). this was the first ribbon to require me to battle online against real opponents, which took some legitimate effort
watched The Entire Bee Movie Vocoded To Gangsta's Paradise. I had never before and have never since seen Bee Movie otherwise and have no desire to
went to the lakes again with Spence. we didn’t even go in the water this year lol
play in the third season of the ongoing D&D campaign with my friends, which had the most compelling story so far. it’s become both the longest continual story campaign I’ve ever played in and the highest level PC I’ve ever gotten to play in my entire time playing D&D
2021′s Thanksgiving Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 viewing was my first time watching with friends, all of whom hated the movie. it was greatly improved hearing their reactions live as someone who’d seen it before
that’s all I can think of right now. a lot of the usual stuff on the side, playing games, watching movies, reading manga, studying Japanese. I’m still hangin in there. fun is infinite.

I’m considering making a sideblog where I go through all the Game Theory videos and timestamp each innacuracy / inconsistancy / failure of research.
The Metroid episode got me legitimately angry. Here’s a list of everything wrong with the video.
1. Nitpick, but Matpat accompanies his explanation of X parasites with a photo of an Omega Metroid. This photo has no X in it. That’s a real Omega.
2. Metroids never “rolled around” attacking people of their own volition. The Space Pirates stole and weaponized Metroids against the Galactic Federation and its citizens. Had the Metroids remained undisturbed on SR388 there wouldn’t be any problem.
3. The animals weren’t “randomly passed over” by the X, as MatPat claims. They were locked in one of the few areas on BSL that wasn’t compromised by the security bypasses, and bolted straight for Samus’ ship once they were free. Remember that one of them knows how to SHINESPARK. It’s more than possible to make the trip unscathed.
4. Adam ran a full diagnostic and found no X on the animals.
5. HOW THE FUCK WOULD ANYTHING ON ZEBES BE INFECTED WITH X? THE X IS ONLY ON SR388. The animals would have had to be infected during Super Metroid for the theory to work, and that’s impossible.
6. How did the Dachora perform a Shinespark, Matpat? WITH A SPEED BOOSTER, DUH. THE DACHORA LIVES IN A PLANET FULL OF CHOZO RUINS. THERE’S MORE THAN 1 SPEED BOOSTER ON ZEBES. (Or the SpeedBooster is based on Dachora abatomy. The Chozo were very close to nature.)
7. The animals get along because they’re the only Zebesians left, Patrick. Their planet exploded. They need eachother.
8. The animals knowing how to pilot a ship is proof that they AREN’T X infected. The X need to copy an able pilot to leave BSL, and they never figured out how to do that during Fusion.
9. The Wrecked Ship didn’t belong to the Animals. It was a Chozo ship. It crashlanding on Zebes is the reason they colonized that planet in the first place.
10. The animals aren’t flying planet to planet spreading X after leaving Zebes. They are TRYING NOT TO DIE. After they left, they launched a distress signal and got moved to BSL.
11. THE INFESTATION CAUSE IS EXPLAINED. THE POWER SUIT IN THE QUARANTINE ROOM FORMED INTO SA-X, USED A POWER BOMB AND RELEASED X INTO BSL. THE ANIMALS WERE IN A SECURE AREA WHEN IT HAPPENED AND ARE IN NO WAY REAPONSIBLE. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK MAT HOW DID YOU MISS THAT??? IT’S LITERALLY HOW THE FUCKING GAME STARTS!
12. THE ANIMALS DON’T ATTACK SAMUS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT X. HOW WOULD THE X KNOW SHE EVEN KILLS METROIDS IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE ONLY ONE SHE KILLS IN FUSION IS THE OMEGA AND THERE ARE NO X PRESENT WHEN THAT HAPPENS. THE METROIDS ARE EXTINCT SAMUS IS LITERALLY THE ONLY THREAT TO THEIR SPECIE. THE X WILL DESTROY HER AT ALL COSTS.
13. THE X ARE A HIVE MIND. THERE IS NO SMARTER STRAIN. IF EVEN 3 X CARRIERS GOT A SHIP THEY’D LET BSL SINK AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
14. Undeniably, Samus is reaponsible for the X outbreak. BUT SHES ALSO A FUCKING METROID AND DIRECT THREAT TO THEIR SPECIE. THE X HAVE BEEN TRYING TO KILL ANYTHING WITH METROID DNA THE WHOLE GODDAMN GAME.
Please research your goddamn topics, Mathew. Please stop throwing your half-baked brain trash onto Youtube. Your audience and the fans of the games you talk about both deserve better. Also, next time how about you DON’T spend half your video gushing about GDQ and actually talk about your theory? Goddamnit, MatPat.
