Audio friendly let's plays? (self.Blind)
submitted by rkingett
Hi all! While looking for an audio friendly KH 3, Kingdom Hearts 3, let's play, I thought I'd ask you all what let's players you are subscribed to, as I am looking for more. Below are the ones I am subscribed to so far.

Just to be clear, I'm not looking for toxic gamers. I'm $1 so would rather stay in my own echo chamber of decent human beings, thank you very much.

SJW means social justice warrior. But anyway, below is the let's players I am subscribed to that read the screen and even do audio description. I'm looking for more.

* Audio described Gaming.

* Video Game Narratory.

* Christopher Odd.

Bonus points if you can give me some LGBT streamers and or POC streamers that make very audio friendly content.

I’ve really only watched Game Grumps. They’re surprising descriptive and they read the dialogue in some great voices. Some games you can follow what’s going on just from Arin’s screaming. They can be crude but they don’t talk crap about people (except their friends who designed really hard Mario Maker levels, heh).
Toridori did a great job with the classic Tomb Raider games and she’s very relaxing to listen to.

Thanks! I will give her a shot! I really like Christopher Odd and his portal series because he really gets into the story. I would also encourage transcribing games. too. It is a playlist by sightless combat. It is a playlist of a woman voicing audio description for the God of War game. It sounds really professionally done.

Now I have a bunch of playlists open haha! The Portal thing reminded me of Freeman’s Mind. It’s a parody series told from Gordon Freemen’s point of view as he endures the events from Half Life. It can get crude but I’ve always found it funny and it’s the only way I’ve ever been able to experience one of gaming’s classics.

Jack septiceye is pretty good at describing what's going on and his comments are amusing. I'd recommend his sims 4 series and or his cleverbot evie videos.
bradley22 2 points 3y ago
I agree, markiplier is great too.

The father who works for nimtendo is a good video.
rkingett [OP] 2 points 3y ago
I have not looked him up yet, does he utilize playlists?
RJHand 1 points 3y ago
He does but I'm not sure if all of his serieses are like that.
bradley22 1 points 3y ago
I’ll check these out.

This guy is pretty cool. He plays mostly text games, and acts out the voices too!

If your really an SJW like you say rather than simply a commited activist, than you should know your likely doing more harm to the causes you subscribe too than help on the societal acceptance level. For instance, most trans people when asked feel very misrepresented and used by the LGBTQ+ community and in particular SJW's. Most victories would be hollow shadows because of how forced they were. You'd get people going along with it publically to save face, but hating you and by extension the groups you represent for the way you've force fed it to them. True SJW's reject human nature and want everything done right now as fast as possible, fuck anyone that stands in their way including their own, and who ever can collect the most injustice points or act the most outraged wins.

It's often a highly narcissistic, self congratulating form of activism which likely stems from feelings of no control. Understandable in this world and with the media riling people up for views... But still not acceptable.

No one likes a loud, prejudgemental asshole. And yes, even though some groups have it worse, you can still be racists/sexist/what ever even if you stand up for the little guy, and end up becoming a mirror image of exactly what you hate, without even realizing it before it's too late because of the aforementioned echo chamber.

And refusing to listen to dissenting opinion doesn't make you look committed. It makes you look weak, as if you know your position is tenuous and wouldn't stand up to scrutiny. I can understand not wanting to be hounded about it constantly or having to defend everything you say, but you were the one who came out swinging. You don't get to dish it out and then expect not to take it right back.

So advertizing that your actively siding with this kind of movement is kinda stupid IMO... After all even though the majority and minority are not at parody so putting one over the other isn't going to cause an immediate power shift like fox news will have you believe, it's still not a good attitude to have (one person is more deserving/better/more valuable because of a non skill related trait) there by inevitably devaluing the other, and can easily spiral out of control down the road.

If you really want to get people to accept what they don't know, you need to break down barriers and let them see the echo of humanity in it, so that they can empathise and therefore try to understand it better. We understand love, so two gay men getting married makes sense from that angle when you take the (uncontrollable) biological repulsion out of it, show how normal these people's lives are outside of the bedroom, and discredit those making wild claims about the supposedly outsized impact, "homosexuality spreading like a plague or being the only cause of AIDS".

I mean preferring LGBT/POC to straight/white is already kind of telling, as it gives the impression that your putting one group over another simply because of traits which are A. out of their control and B. not at all relevant to the medium, but in the end, you watch what you want.

Also keep in mind, not everyone wears their personal life on their sleeve for extra views or just confidence. Half those people you listen too could easily be gay/bi/asexual/pansexual but you wouldn't know it because they don't feel the need to scream it from the rooftops. It doesn't define them, nor do they take advantage of the current political climate to disproportionately increase there viewership.

Frankly, what we need is less shallow groupism and outrage culture, not more. This road is one paved with good intentions, but it goes directly to hell, just by another rout, and your (decent human beings) comment is a perfect example of how it's shaped you already.

Thank you for your opinion! :) I will certainly check out that link. Most SJW types would say that I am an evil centrist democrat, but I couldn't care less. I purposefully call myself an SJW online because I want to make people run away screaming and I am tired of debating bad faith actors and, well, again, I couldn't care less about seeming open to all sides. And, as for my preference in POC/LGBT content, I'd much rather support any minority over the majority. To put it bluntly, I've heard everything modern right leaning gamer culture has to offer and I actively choose to shut that out of my life whenever possible. I've heard their points of view and opinions for more than five years. I'm done. Also, I'm not gonna listen to toxic Gamer crap just to look wise. Forget it. I don't want people hating on women, ETC... just because.

Your welcome, and I appreciate you responding to this rationally, that alone means your not a very good SJW... LOL

​

But I'm a bit confused. You say you tell people your an SJW in order to make them run away? That's kinda like commenting about why people shouldn't own A-R-15s on a youtube video documenting the battle of Pavlov's house. A. no one really asked you and it has nothing to do with the current subject anyway and B. you just stepped into an ant's nest and really should have known better...

​

I can totally understand not wanting to debate people endlessly, I just can't understand why you would make such obviously baiting statements and not expect to be called out on it.

​

Your reasoning behind wanting LGBT/POC channels now makes more sense (you want to stick up for the little guy and you don't like going with the status quo) that's fair enough, but why is it that you expect these people to be not just as bad as their straight white counterparts in other ways? Black trans women can be pieces of shit too... And most LGBT/POC seem to be liberal leaning mainly because they are going with the heard and have been told by politicians that the left is who has their best interests at heart, when that's clearly not the case much of the time. So yeah, you may get fewer right wing ideals, but what makes you think your going to get anything valuable either...

I mean most people are centrists on both sides, and if a little bit of conservatism really bothers you that much, maybe your being intolerant as well.

​

Which kinda brings me to my last question. What right wing video gaming culture. Most smaller gaming channels aren't much a part of that culture anyway, and as I'm sure you know, their are so many people playing now that it's a melting pot of backgrounds, ages, financial situations, and politics, so as with most of the population, your going to get mainly centrists who sway from one side to the other slightly on various subjects, which is perfectly healthy.

Do you mean stuff like not wanting women as frontline troops in battle field 1 unless they are historically accurate retellings of rare events? Or are you talking about the defense of jiggle physics in fighting games? or do you mean the more serious parts like the desperate guys who relentlessly go after any female voice on XBox live? or the shitstains who called in convincing sounding death threats to female video game journalists during gamergate. Because yeah, if it's about that second group I can understand, but that's just a subsection of the community, bigger than it should be, but not nearly as big as some would like you to believe.
rkingett [OP] 1 points 3y ago
But, that's the thing. I don't care if I seem intolerant to conservatives. If I don't want to listen to you, I won't listen to you, period.

And yes, I mean all of what you described. I'd rather take the bickering and few toxic left than the far worse right wing... conservitives, and the like.

Case in point. I agree with about 60% of the SJW points, especially about the systems of white privilege, and the systems of oppression... And otherwise. I'm also a member of the LGBT community with many trans friends, so know full well the toxic nature that goes in among our own. Again, I'd much rather take that kind of toxicity than the bull I had to listen to for more than five years. The toxic left is nowhere near as bad as the right.

And, if I find an ass on the left, I stop supporting them. It's that easy. I've done it before. The right wing stuff just makes me roll my eyes now, at all of it. and, I mean, all of it. stuff like not wanting women as frontline troops in battle field 1 unless they are, ahem, historically accurate retellings of rare events? Because it's silly and a poor excuse to have the freedom to whine about women in a fictional game.

the defense of jiggle physics in fighting games. the more serious parts like the desperate guys who relentlessly go after any female voice on XBox live. The shitstains who called in death threats to female video game journalists during gamergate. Those were death threats, period. You won't change my mind on it.

If I ever want to listen to a right wing gamer, I'll do it on my own without suggestions. If I want to seek them out again, I will. Until then, if I can avoid wasting my time, the better.

so, yeah, maybe I have grown intolerant of conservatives. Tell me why I should care beyond the echo chamber nonsense? Because... I've grown really, really, really, really, tired of it. I simply don't want to hear it anymore for a good long while. I've got too much stuff to do than try to remain the perfect little centrist.

Yes, it's nothing to be proud of for sure.
