The way Austin slammed Banksy on the Beastcast was so cringeworthy

People who can't take any criticism of Banksy are so cringeworthy.

I can't wait for cringeworthy to die.

Giant Bomb 23: A Humidifying Experience

 

[Jintor]

Exactly, it was the most by the numbers critique but framed like its a scathing keeping it real take on Banksy. It felt like when people dismiss every Beatles album before Rubber Soul as factory made. I want people to dig a little deeper and especially a dude like Austin who loves doing that.

criticising austin's counter-cultural criticism of banksy's counter-cultural mainstreamness for itself being too mainstream is like three levels too much meta

 

[nckillthegrimace]

is banksy the one with the robot helmet

Watching the WoW Rorie video and HOLY SHIT the nostalgia...

Burning Crusade was really the peak of WoW for me. I spent a year "working from home" (lol...) where I was actually playing WoW 20 hours a day raiding in two different guilds at the same time. Stopped raiding after killing Illidan but did everything up to that.

Always loved Kharazan... It's one of the more interesting raid design wise imo. Love the variety of bosses and decor.

Nah I 110% agreed with him. Banksy is a hack.

He's the graffiti version of /r/im14andthisisdeep.

My point isn't that Banksy is great, its that he deserves more then what sounded basically like a drive-by NeoGaf post. This is what happens when artists become bigger then their medium like Nolan/James Cameron, Jay-Z/Eminem and Banksy. People that don't normally care for movies, rap and graffiti still go to see/hear their work and because of that they automatically become "hacks" in the eyes of "real" fans of the medium.

or some people don't like the idea that by nature, broad-appeal art is pandering, and by default of less interest to genre fans

how much more substantive can you get about something's non-substantiveness off the top of one's head though...? it's not like he came in prepared to debate banksy

these things are like pub conversations. expecting intellectual rigour from them is why we have a corrections segment where we can blast austin about mispronouncing maori

 

[daydream]

Thats a fair point.

Look, how can you expect them not to be rigorous with their critique on the beastcast, the number one graffiti & vape culture podcast on the internet?

Explain Banksy for me

Explain Banksy to me

he's sort of like a place where you store money

That's deep. Are you Banksy?

 

[Salty Catfish]

Maybe Banksy is the mystery E3 guest.

 

[Jintor]

That's deep. Are you Banksy?

no, i have no money

 

[supermetfreud]

The Banksy's roommate tweets are the best tweets.

 

[Incandenza]

I keep all my money in a wooden chest in the forest, next to a journal containing three increasingly ominous diary entries.

So between Planet Coaster, Theme Park Studio, and RCTW, one of those has to be good.

Right?

If Cities Skylines can be good, then Theme Park games can be good

Between the live drive, the F1 Qualifications and the Rorie Wow Stream... I don't know where to focus my attention

 

[MassiveNights]

To be fair to Banksy he just does the shit he wants to do and its everyone else who freaks out all across the spectrum.
