"Mexican Radio", or: the song Central Avenue barely remembered hearing at 2 AM on the radio when she was 7
even for someone like me who might be described as a bit musically conservative there's something really weird to me about how Oasis is just essentially "The Beatles but less so" and people seem....fine with that.
I don't think they're awful or even below average, I just don't dig what I might call the conceit.

Not really? What I've heard of Blur is either on par with or a bit better than Oasis, and I haven't heard enough of Pulp's work to form an opinion despite having a decent amount of respect for Jarvis Cocker.

You're right, we can't, but I've spent so much time trolling on the Internet that I am unable to frame my personal opinions as anything other than universal truth. "Can we all agree" is an easy 3x multiplier to replies.
idk if this counts as criticism in any real way but if you haven't watched Nick "RockLeeSmile" Reineke play through fantastically shitty Silent Hill fangame Alchemilla, you really should. It's a slow nosedive into madness.

I gave up on mocking Unity once I found out Cities: Skylines is a Unity game
Take this with a grain of salt as I've mostly read a lot of reviews and watched a fair amount of LPs, but it's a pretty solid if imperfect entry in the genre that brings a lot to the table, and comes across as a more refined return to form.

It's a lot like SimCity 4 if you updated it with 3D graphics instead of the fixed isometric camera angles
Gameplay-wise it feels a lot less clunky and limited than what little I played of the 2013 SimCity

This is great, I'm on part 4 already
My only complaint is that he doesn't actually try and solve any of the puzzles himself

I'm watching further and yeah he does eventually try solving the puzzles
And of course the puzzles themselves grow increasingly nonsensical

Holy shit the morgue doors puzzles were probably some of the least fair things I've seen in a game of this type
Especially since they're trying to use the same area for two puzzles at once

Just did
Oh my god his gasp of relief at the end is priceless

The gimmick is what you think it is but he at least keeps it entertaining
I lost it at "It's on the internet! That means it must be real!"

That said, it does feel like Todd is doing a “I didn’t know anyone who voted for Nixon" routine in this video.
????
He seemed to assume that, because the "nice guy" archetype is so mocked in his circles, it's become a laughing stock everywhere, when that's simply not true.
If nobody acts like a "nice guy" anymore because we've been making fun of them for years, then, well, we've been making fun of them for years. The video's humor comes from an overdone concept, so it's not funny.
Hilariously, the only non up-on-movies person I've heard talk about it was some weird fascist conspiracy theorist rambling about how it was french nihilism
I'm with you, I think. It's a saddening song. I mean, I agree with Todd that certain images are more striking than others and the bitter sarcasm of the choruses is arguably the best part, but for all its anvil-dropping, I think I actually like this one?
Also, discussing this episode is now giving me serious déjà-vu. Like he's covered this before and we already talked about it.

The guy at 5:23 is worse than many war criminals
inb4 it's actually Unreal

That seems to be a common mistake on the Internet.
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
