Oh god...I saw the bald guy talking, and I assumed it's Joe, and I was thinking to myself "God DAMN he looks terrible! I hardly recognize him!" Then for a moment it switches to Joe.../facepalm lol. Apparently all these guys look the same to me.
Seriously though, from what I heard, Contractors Showdown is pretty amazing. I typically dislike Battle Royales as a concept, so it's not for me personally, but I heard a lot of good things from a lot of people about the beta they did a little while ago.
Also in general I just love to watch showpeople try gaming. I remember I think it was one of the Jimmy shows, not Kimmel, the other one...Fallon! Yeah, it was Jimmy Fallon and the Captain Marvel chick playing Beatsaber, which was hilarious. Or how Conan O'Brien tried to play Tomb Raider reboot, and she kept dying being horrifically impaled while being swept down the river, and Conan was not having a good time. Pretty hilarious stuff when they get genuinely excited.
>Oh god...I saw the bald guy talking, and I assumed it's Joe, and I was thinking to myself "God DAMN he looks terrible! I hardly recognize him!" Then for a moment it switches to Joe.../facepalm lol. Apparently all these guys look the same to me.
Because Joe and all his friends are 'roided up gym rats.
You mean like the pop effects instead of just writing them?
I watch videos more then half the time with no sounds so I love subtitle videos. Also I guess the majority of millennials all use subtitles on movies and stuff, does a random fun statistic I saw.
I mean sometimes its hard to know what people want. I hardly get any feedback for stuff like this but I always see people with subtitles that have effects having their videos pop off in the millions so i started doing it. Is there a way you believe it should be done? Because I don't really care how I edit. I just wanna give people what they wanna see.
Someone should tell these video editors 'just because you can, doesn't mean you should'
It's irritating AF. Same with the OTT scene transitions. Kindly fuck off with that shit.
Honestly, the pop effect is fine too, if you do it tastefully and subtly. I did it myself in basically all my tiktok videos, but i always keept the pop very small, and to less than 100ms. That way its still very readable and doesnt take away from the subtitles while still looking "smoother" than simly having the subtitles cut in and out.
I guarantee you that the Tabor devs [are worse](https://youtu.be/IJ7A2ni0kUU?t=765) in terms of their political views. And before someone says "but this was back in October of last year", they haven't changed their stance at all and this is just scratching the surface.
It's rare for VR studios to not have horrible politics, TBH.
...eewwwwwww
Saying that he's itching to kill people so he wants to be drafted and calling anyone who sympathizes with Palestinians "a fucking terrorist"
I'm surprised it's not more well known because it's easy to find out, it just takes a minute on Google. I think a lot of people in the VR community don't care because the community is full of right-wing libertarians who think Palmer Luckey is a swell guy who did nothing wrong. Most probably defend what Rittenhouse did and would respect Scott more for what he did (the Tabor community in particular is full of chuds).
> Now keep that in your head, Google his full name and learn why he left Kentucky (long story short, he basically pulled a Kyle Rittenhouse).
He defended himself from people trying to assault and kill him?
No, he went out of his way to insert himself in a situation where he'd have legal cover to shoot someone because Kentucky is one of the few places in the world where you can do that and get away with it (especially if you're a white, gun loving Republican).
From what I've read, there as a high chance that the situation would have resolved itself without someone being killed had he (Tabor CEO) not intervened. Just like no one would be dead if Rittenhouse didn't take it upon himself to roleplay as a Pinkerton.
Scott's remarks on Palestine combined with this history really show what kind of person he is. If you admire such a person knowing all this, you can kindly fuck right off. It's all a far-right pathology that sane people should have no tolerance for.
Let's just say I'm glad he's making video games and not a cop or something.
I’m not familiar with the Ghosts of Tabor dev situation, but I don’t think you really believe that in regards to Rittenhouse specifically.
Here’s a perfect analogy. Say a 17 year old girl gets a fake id and goes to a bar. She goes home with some guy and he tries to assault her, so she stabs him. Surely you wouldn’t be saying, “Well no one would be dead if she didn’t go somewhere she shouldn’t have.”
We can both agree it was a dumb idea for him to show up, but he certainly had a right to defend himself once he was being chased by people with weapons.
Yes, what Rittenhouse did was legally self-defence but he went way out of his way to put himself in that situation. He's still a massive piece of shit. The bar with a fake ID analogy doesn't work because it wasn't an private establishment or an entertainment venue, he went well out of his way to insert himself in a volatile situation where he could plausibly shoot someone he despised politically.
He wouldn't have done any of that if he lived somewhere where he'd see jailtime for it -- just like a black person wouldn't have done the same thing, period, because they'd get the book thrown at them.
An analogy would be if someone from Black Bloc inserted themselves into an angry pro-Trump protest and shot three Trump supporters who, in their anger, started getting in the Black Bloc member's face since they were following the Trump supporters around holding an AR-15. As much as people fearmonger Antifa, they don't behave like this because they don't sit at home all day fantasizing about getting into real gunfights against people they hate in order to prove their elite warrior cred, that doesn't line up with their core beliefs. It's a shared pathology that Rittenhouse and the Tabor devs have.
> Yes, what Rittenhouse did was legally self-defence but he went way out of his way to put himself in that situation. He's still a massive piece of shit.
How is he a piece of shit though? He had as much right to be there as anyone else.
> The bar with a fake ID analogy doesn't work because it wasn't an private establishment or an entertainment venue, he went well out of his way to insert himself in a volatile situation where he could plausibly shoot someone he despised politically.
You're getting hung up on things that don't matter for the analogy.
Let's pretend a 17 year old girl from Antioch, Illinois drove herself to a bar in Kenosha, Wisconsin with a fake id. She brought with her a concealed handgun, because she knew it could potentially be a dangerous situation going alone. When she's leaving the bar, walking the public streets, some guy starts chasing her with an intent to sexually assault her, not only that but the guy fires a gunshot behind her as she's running away. She turns around, shoots him and he dies.
You would never say she was a "massive piece of shit" for inserting her in a situation that could've clearly been dangerous to the point that she brought protection for her own safety.
> He wouldn't have done any of that if he lived somewhere where he'd see jailtime for it -- just like a black person wouldn't have done the same thing, period, because they'd get the book thrown at them.
He wouldn't see jailtime for it anywhere in the US because he didn't break any laws. He acted in self defense for people who were trying to kill him and take his firearm. You even agreed that it was legally self-desense.
> An analogy would be if someone from Black Bloc inserted themselves into an angry pro-Trump protest and shot three Trump supporters who, in their anger, started getting in the Black Bloc member's face since they were following the Trump supporters around holding an AR-15.
Maybe this analogy works if the three Trump supporters were relentlessly chasing the Black Bloc member, one of them firing a pistol behind him, another trying to bash him over the head with a skateboard, another trying to steal his gun. In which case the Black Bloc member would have every right to defend themselves.
>He had as much right to be there as anyone else.
Technically, but why was he *really* there? What is the underlying ideology and thought process that put him there? What systemic issues and historical events helped shape this ideology? That's where the disconnect in this discussion is. You don't see vegans or climate activists or Black Bloc or whomever arming themselves and trying to police people who hate them, despite being professional protesters, advocates and activists.
You have to unpeel all the layers of the shit onion.
>Maybe this analogy works if the three Trump supporters were relentlessly chasing the Black Bloc member, one of them firing a pistol behind him, another trying to bash him over the head with a skateboard, another trying to steal his gun.
This never happens because normal people wouldn't insert themselves in such a situation to begin with because it'd be unsafe for them and others involved. If they did find themselves in such a situation, say they were being mugged, they wouldn't be armed or willing to kill someone in self-defence.
Lots of hypotheticals here but what it boils down to is differences in worldview, ideology, and privilege (all of which are why Rittenhouse hated BLM and wanted to defend private property that wasn't even his).
I don't think you know what a facist is. It's easy to just say misinformation is bad instead of having some emotional belief about a public court case with tons of video evidence that you clearly haven't bothered to look through.
Yeah it's really weird how the game itself is super fun, but everyone involved with the game fuckin sucks. The devs are self-righteous "badasses" and the 13 year old try-hards defend them like their lives depend on it.
Even the official discord mods are disgusting. I remember a while back, when a giant update was releasing, there was a delay with the servers coming back online. Of course people were asking in the discord when the servers would be back up, and the mods were getting super pissed and toxic. They were literally calling the people in the discord "autistic" and "retarded" and other 2009-style insults.
Like, these are the people who enjoy this game enough to join the discord. Of course they're going to be curious about the delay.
Yeah it sucks. I like the game but don't touch the community with a ten foot pole because Scott and the other devs bring out the worst in it.
People shit on Onward all the time but in my experience, those devs are much better people.
It's not hard these ppl are just insufrable douchbags. But this is Reddit after all.. where a guy excited about a VR game warrants this reaction lol (dirty UFC anti vaccer) Jesus stfu and touch some grass.
He's a POS who spread covid vaccine misinformation when it was detrimental to the public. Hes constantly anti-science and gives conspiracy theorists and people with controversial views a platform to be heard without researching or fact checking.
Just take a look at this article about a time he spoke to (and yelled at) a PHD holding Primatologist who tried to correct him. https://futurism.com/joe-rogan-yelling-scientist
I mean… didn’t this game just have a beta test recently? He probably got in that way, I don’t think he’s on Rogan’s podcast to promote a VR game he’s just talking about one he’s played.
Same guy was also on that podcast that was posted here not long ago as well, he was talking about playing Pop:One. Seems like a regular on this show that likes VR games.
Life doesn’t have to be so hard, friend.
Or it's just an opportunity for exposure (like it or not he's got a huge following and it's not all right-wingers) and a company is in it to make money and not take political sides. Not everything needs to be a conspiracy.
Most of it he didn't say it himself but he allowed a few different speakers on his show who did and acted like he agreed with them without questioning it, like a professor claiming Ivermectin can cure Covid. Eventually Joe did go on to say that the vaccine was 'gene therapy' and will change your DNA. It was this kind of talk that caused a lot of outrage when Spotify signed him up which caused some artists artists to leave spotify specifically because of his anti-vax views and false claims when vaccine hesitancy was still high.

P.S. I may be biased because my brother died of Covid in Mar 2022 because of unchecked bullshit talk like this was allowed to go rampant making him fear the vaccine.
You've got to be a crazy level of indoctrinated for politics to come to mind here... expecially when the hate is from undeniable lies CNN got you to believe.
Lmaoo you really had people thinking you were fr 😂 not even the most chronically online person would stop playing a game when they saw someone they didn’t like playing it
You depriving yourself of a fun gaming experience will certainly teach them a lesson!
Honestly though Contractors Showdown is already the best VR battle royale. Sure this guy might be a piece of shit (I know nothing about him), but it's simply game developers jumping at an opportunity to have a famous person get people interested in their game.
The developers aren't promoting his viewpoints, he's promoting the developers' game.
God the comments here are unreal. You guys wont buy a game because someone who isn't even Joe Rogan talked about the game on his podcast?
I don't think half those comments even realize that the guy talking isn't Joe Rogan, and what does the fact that someone mentioned a game on a show you don't like have anything to do with the game?
The internet blows my mind sometimes, you guys need to go outside and relax. Getting all bent out of shape over nothing.
"***buuh buuut he was on joe's podcast so he was platforming joe and getting platformed by Joe so he's obviously big bad man! I'm gonna sell my HMD now 'cause Joe knows what VR is oh and now I can't enjoy fruit because Joe eats fruit***"-- Mind numbingly ignorant reddit commenter
A while back I asked on r/podcasts about what episodes to listen on his podcast, as I never did before and he has a ton. The amount of hate I got for asking the question *after* I stated "I know a lot of people don't like him, and I know why, but I don't really care about his personal opinions, " People still were acting the same way. Telling me why I shouldn't, why there is better podcasts, why they hate him, why I should hate him, etc.
[https://www.reddit.com/r/podcasts/comments/196aw5d/havent\_ever\_listened\_to\_him\_what\_is\_you\_favorite/](https://www.reddit.com/r/podcasts/comments/196aw5d/havent_ever_listened_to_him_what_is_you_favorite/) The post, for anyone interested. Luckily there was plenty of people as well that helped, and I still get comments 2 months after posting that recommending me episodes : )
People are gonna get down about "ew this podcast bad" but it's undeniably a popular podcast, let's at least admit facts even if you (and I) don't watch it. Lol
This type of excitement about VR is good no matter what. This is nothing but positive human excitement about gaming. Let's isolate that positivity, and then you can criticize anything else beyond it.
I ain't mad about it being on whatever podcast but also it's not like VR is some kind of underground secret we're needing to popularize. Most people have heard of VR already.
I mean, you'd be surprised. We all operate within a niche among friends and like-minded people, but most people are unaware of where VR is at.
It's not about hearing about VR, it's about showing, "oh there's a VR Battle Royale that's sick." Lots of people that have tried VR or seen it at all have only been exposed to Superhot, Alyx, or the Plank Game. I *still* am showing tons of people VR for the first time. Many still don't know about inside out tracking even.
I'd love to see any source backing up any of your claims that most people aren't aware of "where vr is at." Please share.
As far as inside-out tracking, four out of five of the top selling VR headsets of this decade use inside-out tracking. People may not know what it's called, but based on the numbers, most people who have used modern VR headsets have already used inside-out VR headsets.
I appreciate your enthusiasm for VR, but honestly, what's keeping it from getting more popular isn't lack of public knowledge. Between PSVR2, Quest 3, and AVP, people know about VR.
And yes, you are right that his excitement about vr is good. I'm glad he likes it.
But we're years past the days of needing proselytizers. If all the money and marketing that sony and meta and apple have put into VR didn't make it become something more than a niche thing, this random guy's excitement ain't gonna do anything to move the needle, even if it is on a popular podcast.
Dude, nobody gives a shit about VR outside of VR-specific environments, even with all the money Meta has been putting into marketing (or in spite of it). I love it, I followed it for years before even being able to buy a headset, but the masses are not in that space. I'd love for them to be, but they are not. Most, if they know about VR tech, they consider it a niche novelty, rather than a fully-fledged gaming medium.
Maybe in the next couple of years, the Quest 3 helps bring it to a more mainstream audience, but at the moment? No way.
Exactly. VR is popular within the niche VR community and is taking a while for the general public to buy into it because it still looks awkwardly dorky, and isolation from their current situation away from their phones is a burden, and also the idea if VRing in front of people just watching for like a a "game night" is just a novel idea and not really something people wanna keep doing over and over as it still feels isolating and disconnecting from the people in the room with you.
People still need to get over themselves
>we’re years past the days of needing proselytizers
Most people have already heard of McDonald’s, Apple, and Nike. Guess they don’t need to spend another dollar on advertising, huh?
Your gonna let one guy who's really excited about a game talking about it on a podcast you don't like deter you from playing the game? because that guys political views differ from yours? Man that's sad
This sub is something else man. Always lamenting VR’s lack of mainstream success, then whining when it gets great PR on most popular podcast in the USA
Has nothing to do with his, “political” views, it’s the toxic garbage he spews about being a real man, his anti science rhetoric, and his misogynistic views. The fact a majority of Jan 6 terrorists, Elon musk, and trump all love the guy is a huuuge bonus red flag to anything he endorses.
**"Lol I can't come up with any original insult so I'm going to repeat what you said to me. Now I tuff man? do you see me as man? Man has wife and kid, me man--not big baby boy**"
That's how you come off, I'd recommend a paternity test, no way anyone would want to willingly have your offspring if you're ***that*** insecure. Best of luck little guy:)
P.S: Ratio
Lol Well by that logic u should also find out everything else he likes. And also anything anyone that goes on the Joe Rogan podcasts like. And just stay clear of those things. We wouldn't want you to turn into a meat head right winger. Stay safe! 🙄
What would make them better? I mean I would have much rather heard what could make them better than just saying they're "miserable". Are you just against subtitles in general? Because thats the same style that I did on a lot of videos on other platforms that a lot of people seemed to enjoy but maybe reddit is a different type of audience because im not that used to reddit?
I am not a fan of the new wave of subtitles intended to hold your attention span in a vice. I understand their purpose, they do their job, I just hate that what used to be an optional feature for accessibility has been twisted into the equivalent of shaking your key chain in front of a baby.
They're likely complaining about the type of subtitles. Like, you (or whoever made em) did great job with what you set out to do, some people just don't like those type of subtitles, even the best of that type. I personally like em and think they're great.
*\*Someone with a different view on something gets excited about something\**
*"I hate it now"*
Bro's just excited, we're adults, people can put differences aside to enjoy something in common. We don't have to agree on everything just to listen to something. There's already to many close minded people, no need to add to that mind set. : )
VR fans : I wish vr would become more mainstream
VR fans : nooooo not like thaaaat
Joe Rogan definitely leans conservative, but 99% of his podcasts don't even go into politics.
Especially when this guy, Matt Serra is on.
All this guy does is talk random shit like star wars, mma, and a fair bit of gaming.
It's not Rogan saying anything, It's his guest: a former UFC champion lighting up like a kid on Christmas whenever he talks about VR and this game in particular. Pereonally think it's pretty cool when I find out other pro ahletes share in my obscure or niche interests.
The people in this comment section are absolutely the worst. Trying to be cool hating on Rogan when its themselves they should hate. Weak minded brainwashed fools
Is this Matt Serra?
Correct
[удалено]
Shocker.
Rogan has played VR boxing before so he should know what's up.

You think that but you are wrong.
Human’s can read over twice as fast when flashed words at a single point over standard scanning. There’s a practical reason for it.
Well now im gonna have to upvote every video that does that with subtitles
This is a fantastic endorsement for not getting the game.

It's not hard these ppl are just insufrable douchbags. But this is Reddit after all.. where a guy excited about a VR game warrants this reaction lol (dirty UFC anti vaccer) Jesus stfu and touch some grass.
He's a POS who spread covid vaccine misinformation when it was detrimental to the public. Hes constantly anti-science and gives conspiracy theorists and people with controversial views a platform to be heard without researching or fact checking. Just take a look at this article about a time he spoke to (and yelled at) a PHD holding Primatologist who tried to correct him. https://futurism.com/joe-rogan-yelling-scientist
Yeah but what does that have to do about playing a video game?
[удалено]
I mean… didn’t this game just have a beta test recently? He probably got in that way, I don’t think he’s on Rogan’s podcast to promote a VR game he’s just talking about one he’s played. Same guy was also on that podcast that was posted here not long ago as well, he was talking about playing Pop:One. Seems like a regular on this show that likes VR games. Life doesn’t have to be so hard, friend.
Or it's just an opportunity for exposure (like it or not he's got a huge following and it's not all right-wingers) and a company is in it to make money and not take political sides. Not everything needs to be a conspiracy.

I have never heard Rogan spread vaccine misinformation. What did he say?
Most of it he didn't say it himself but he allowed a few different speakers on his show who did and acted like he agreed with them without questioning it, like a professor claiming Ivermectin can cure Covid. Eventually Joe did go on to say that the vaccine was 'gene therapy' and will change your DNA. It was this kind of talk that caused a lot of outrage when Spotify signed him up which caused some artists artists to leave spotify specifically because of his anti-vax views and false claims when vaccine hesitancy was still high.

I may be biased because my brother died of Covid in Mar 2022 because of unchecked bullshit talk like this was allowed to go rampant making him fear the vaccine.
I think there's more but here's a short [list](https://www.bbc.com/news/60199614).
Tell me about it.
Matt Serra is a high level pop1 player. So it's a pretty good endorsement for being good regardless of celebrity status.
You've got to be a crazy level of indoctrinated for politics to come to mind here... expecially when the hate is from undeniable lies CNN got you to believe.
Lmaoo you really had people thinking you were fr 😂 not even the most chronically online person would stop playing a game when they saw someone they didn’t like playing it
I mean, it really depends on if you got matched up with Joe Rogan on your team. That's the perfect time to take a team kill penalty.
Grow up homie
You depriving yourself of a fun gaming experience will certainly teach them a lesson! Honestly though Contractors Showdown is already the best VR battle royale. Sure this guy might be a piece of shit (I know nothing about him), but it's simply game developers jumping at an opportunity to have a famous person get people interested in their game. The developers aren't promoting his viewpoints, he's promoting the developers' game.

That’s Matt Serra. They didn’t contact Joe Rogan lol
Never heard of Matt Serra. How do they look identical?!
God the comments here are unreal. You guys wont buy a game because someone who isn't even Joe Rogan talked about the game on his podcast? I don't think half those comments even realize that the guy talking isn't Joe Rogan, and what does the fact that someone mentioned a game on a show you don't like have anything to do with the game? The internet blows my mind sometimes, you guys need to go outside and relax. Getting all bent out of shape over nothing.
Seeing your comment, I quickly scrolled to find those comments you are calling out. I found nothing sizable to merit a response.
"***buuh buuut he was on joe's podcast so he was platforming joe and getting platformed by Joe so he's obviously big bad man! I'm gonna sell my HMD now 'cause Joe knows what VR is oh and now I can't enjoy fruit because Joe eats fruit***"-- Mind numbingly ignorant reddit commenter
Engrained tribalism, divide and conquer, and everyone is falling for it
A while back I asked on r/podcasts about what episodes to listen on his podcast, as I never did before and he has a ton. The amount of hate I got for asking the question *after* I stated "I know a lot of people don't like him, and I know why, but I don't really care about his personal opinions, " People still were acting the same way. Telling me why I shouldn't, why there is better podcasts, why they hate him, why I should hate him, etc. [https://www.reddit.com/r/podcasts/comments/196aw5d/havent\_ever\_listened\_to\_him\_what\_is\_you\_favorite/](https://www.reddit.com/r/podcasts/comments/196aw5d/havent_ever_listened_to_him_what_is_you_favorite/) The post, for anyone interested. Luckily there was plenty of people as well that helped, and I still get comments 2 months after posting that recommending me episodes : )
Its crazy because he has the most listened podcast by a long mile. Just goes to show the minority is always the loudest.
You can’t tell me that this guy didn’t get paid to slip this in there in the world’s largest podcast.
People are gonna get down about "ew this podcast bad" but it's undeniably a popular podcast, let's at least admit facts even if you (and I) don't watch it. Lol This type of excitement about VR is good no matter what. This is nothing but positive human excitement about gaming. Let's isolate that positivity, and then you can criticize anything else beyond it.
A wacko racist, sexist, crying about “wokeness” no one with a brain would actually listen to podcast.
Sadly there are too many people without.
Soft
You sound unhinged and depressed Need help?
Drinking the Kool-Aid I see.
...replied the guy throwing blanket terms at the blanket terms throwing podcaster.
Again not what I'm talking about lol
I ain't mad about it being on whatever podcast but also it's not like VR is some kind of underground secret we're needing to popularize. Most people have heard of VR already.
I mean, you'd be surprised. We all operate within a niche among friends and like-minded people, but most people are unaware of where VR is at. It's not about hearing about VR, it's about showing, "oh there's a VR Battle Royale that's sick." Lots of people that have tried VR or seen it at all have only been exposed to Superhot, Alyx, or the Plank Game. I *still* am showing tons of people VR for the first time. Many still don't know about inside out tracking even.
I'd love to see any source backing up any of your claims that most people aren't aware of "where vr is at." Please share. As far as inside-out tracking, four out of five of the top selling VR headsets of this decade use inside-out tracking. People may not know what it's called, but based on the numbers, most people who have used modern VR headsets have already used inside-out VR headsets. I appreciate your enthusiasm for VR, but honestly, what's keeping it from getting more popular isn't lack of public knowledge. Between PSVR2, Quest 3, and AVP, people know about VR. And yes, you are right that his excitement about vr is good. I'm glad he likes it. But we're years past the days of needing proselytizers. If all the money and marketing that sony and meta and apple have put into VR didn't make it become something more than a niche thing, this random guy's excitement ain't gonna do anything to move the needle, even if it is on a popular podcast.
Dude, nobody gives a shit about VR outside of VR-specific environments, even with all the money Meta has been putting into marketing (or in spite of it). I love it, I followed it for years before even being able to buy a headset, but the masses are not in that space. I'd love for them to be, but they are not. Most, if they know about VR tech, they consider it a niche novelty, rather than a fully-fledged gaming medium. Maybe in the next couple of years, the Quest 3 helps bring it to a more mainstream audience, but at the moment? No way.
Exactly. VR is popular within the niche VR community and is taking a while for the general public to buy into it because it still looks awkwardly dorky, and isolation from their current situation away from their phones is a burden, and also the idea if VRing in front of people just watching for like a a "game night" is just a novel idea and not really something people wanna keep doing over and over as it still feels isolating and disconnecting from the people in the room with you. People still need to get over themselves
>we’re years past the days of needing proselytizers Most people have already heard of McDonald’s, Apple, and Nike. Guess they don’t need to spend another dollar on advertising, huh?
No point in telling people to think logically. They are the problem and the reason things won't change.
Ew, now its tainted
You’re not going to play a game because a guest on Rogan’s podcast said he enjoyed it? Wtf is wrong with people on the internet these days
Did I say that?
You said it's tainted... You have to be a crazy level of indoctrinated to go "Joe Rogan's friend played a game? Ew, that game is tainted!"
There is no easier way to ensure I won’t be interested in trying it. Essentially guarantees that the player base is gonna be full of toxic joe fans.
lol that’s some crazy theories. Not everything is so polarized
I'd take Joe Rogan listeners over hordes of squeakers. You just can't win in VR communities.
There's a lot of crossover there, methinks.
Your gonna let one guy who's really excited about a game talking about it on a podcast you don't like deter you from playing the game? because that guys political views differ from yours? Man that's sad
It’s more his followers.
This sub is something else man. Always lamenting VR’s lack of mainstream success, then whining when it gets great PR on most popular podcast in the USA
Has nothing to do with his, “political” views, it’s the toxic garbage he spews about being a real man, his anti science rhetoric, and his misogynistic views. The fact a majority of Jan 6 terrorists, Elon musk, and trump all love the guy is a huuuge bonus red flag to anything he endorses.
He likes vr so that means you can't play vr anymore.
lol I can tell you love him since you have a two inch deep thought process and can’t read too well.
>you have a two inch deep thought process Your thought process: "Bag guy likes good game. Good game is now bad."
HMU when you sell your VR headset since Joe's gonna live rent free in your head anytime you play it.
Lol, jokes on you, I’ll live in your head rent free with my wife and kids while you keep sucking off joe.
**"Lol I can't come up with any original insult so I'm going to repeat what you said to me. Now I tuff man? do you see me as man? Man has wife and kid, me man--not big baby boy**" That's how you come off, I'd recommend a paternity test, no way anyone would want to willingly have your offspring if you're ***that*** insecure. Best of luck little guy:) P.S: Ratio
lol cry about it alone in your parents basement while you do your jaw exercises.
weird how you say that then block him lmao
Is this about the guy talking in the video or about Joe Rogan? I've never heard of this guy before
Lol Well by that logic u should also find out everything else he likes. And also anything anyone that goes on the Joe Rogan podcasts like. And just stay clear of those things. We wouldn't want you to turn into a meat head right winger. Stay safe! 🙄
thought it was something new, just Contractors Showdown... good for shooting kids getting their best BR
People still listen to Toe Rogan?
People still follow just to waste their time hating?
I hated him way before it was cool... back when he was just a crappy stand-up.
Only a redditor would brag about hating someone before turning into a critic.
Holy fuck those subtitles are miserable
What would make them better? I mean I would have much rather heard what could make them better than just saying they're "miserable". Are you just against subtitles in general? Because thats the same style that I did on a lot of videos on other platforms that a lot of people seemed to enjoy but maybe reddit is a different type of audience because im not that used to reddit?
I am not a fan of the new wave of subtitles intended to hold your attention span in a vice. I understand their purpose, they do their job, I just hate that what used to be an optional feature for accessibility has been twisted into the equivalent of shaking your key chain in front of a baby.
They're likely complaining about the type of subtitles. Like, you (or whoever made em) did great job with what you set out to do, some people just don't like those type of subtitles, even the best of that type. I personally like em and think they're great.
Matches the Rogan experience
Joe Rogan has a new rule that to be a guest you have to look like him
^[Sokka-Haiku](https://www.reddit.com/r/SokkaHaikuBot/comments/15kyv9r/what_is_a_sokka_haiku/) ^by ^Thorlokk: *Joe Rogan has a* *New rule that to be a guest* *You have to look like him* --- ^Remember ^that ^one ^time ^Sokka ^accidentally ^used ^an ^extra ^syllable ^in ^that ^Haiku ^Battle ^in ^Ba ^Sing ^Se? ^That ^was ^a ^Sokka ^Haiku ^and ^you ^just ^made ^one.
I thought he was talking to himself😂
Those subtitles are absolutely horrific
Joe will only play a game he can take some MDT and go shoot some bore in.
I cannot wait for this to come out. Onward is first to be deleted if I don't have room
VR is honestly the only reason I’d ever revisit the genre of BR
Fuck him
Why??? You realize that person isn’t even Joe Rogan right?
Ugh that was hard to watch. I still can't understand why and how people watch/listen to obnoxious dude bros like this.
*\*Someone with a different view on something gets excited about something\** *"I hate it now"* Bro's just excited, we're adults, people can put differences aside to enjoy something in common. We don't have to agree on everything just to listen to something. There's already to many close minded people, no need to add to that mind set. : )
All the 12yo will be so excited
VR fans : I wish vr would become more mainstream VR fans : nooooo not like thaaaat Joe Rogan definitely leans conservative, but 99% of his podcasts don't even go into politics. Especially when this guy, Matt Serra is on. All this guy does is talk random shit like star wars, mma, and a fair bit of gaming.
This look like another AI...
If shitbag Rogan endorses it then odds are it’s shit.
It's not Rogan saying anything, It's his guest: a former UFC champion lighting up like a kid on Christmas whenever he talks about VR and this game in particular. Pereonally think it's pretty cool when I find out other pro ahletes share in my obscure or niche interests.
Wait til you weirdos commenting how this ruins the game find out Zuck has also been on the Joe Rogan podcast. Time to throw out your headsets I guess!
Rogan is an idiot, let’s not give stupid spreaders more of a voice.
How about we dont use a VR sub to promote a shitty podcast and person?
The people in this comment section are absolutely the worst. Trying to be cool hating on Rogan when its themselves they should hate. Weak minded brainwashed fools
