YO IT'S TIME FOR THE COLORFUNK CHALLENGE LEAGUE~!! I'm starting up a video game challenge series featuring a bunch of lovely content creators tryna' prove their skills on the Colorfunk stage~
If you think it's DOPE, RT's appreciated!
Worked at GameStop, one day they "penny'd out" (set price to $0.01) these nice Tekken Fight Sticks. I was like, oh yo so can we take these home? My store manager laughed in my face and gave me a hammer, said "I'm going to check the garbage to see they've been destroyed tomorrow"
Movies deleted instead of released, apartment buildings sitting empty, beloved publications bought to be dismantled. So tired of malignant accountants being incentivized to salt the earth.
Aiite nerds. I'm on that Animal Crossing Hype Shit. Gimme' four villagers you *really* want for your deserted island. I'm goin' for Apollo, Flo, Del, and Zucker. Gotta' get that variety, but also, I like the more like real-life-uncommon species.
Dear YouTube People With Giant Platforms:
Either punch down with your jokes and own up to not caring about marginalized people, or apologize and change your behavior; you don't get to punch down and then play the victim like "How dare you call me out for lazy, hurtful jokes."
It's the end of an era~!! After 7 years and so many videos, I'm moving on from Peanutbuttergamer. Super appreciative of Austin for the opportunity to grow as an editor and producer and make silly vids together. The HC years in particular were NUTS~
THANKS
@PeanutButterGmr
!
Local GameStop person was talkin' about how hype they were for Animal Crossing and Pokemon so I was like "Yo you heard about Ooblets?" and now they are obsessed.
Gotta' spread my Indi-sease~
Smash 5 predictions:
- Subspace Emissary 2 is released, but it's just a single long play on YouTube with Sakurai face cam.
- The online is literally perfect, across the whole planet, but only two people can be online at once.
- All the characters are Geno.
What are some words y'all just cannot fucking spell correctly?
For me:
Embarrassment (too few r's/s's)
Camaraderie (fucking vowels)
Annihilation (I move the fucking h forward every time)
YouTube: Hi there!~ You'll notice we've force-switched you to our new Creator dashboard despite you requesting us to stop doing that.
Also YouTube: I see you'd like to use the classic dashboard still? Why is that?
Literally everyone: BECAUSE YOUR SHIT ISN'T FINISHED YET HELLO
And yes, almost every season of HC I've worked on has been made private. I hope those of you who wanted to watch them again all the same can understand, but this is what must be done for now.
That's it on this subject from me. Thanks for understanding.
It's been a shit two days, but for a lot of folks, fans and colleagues alike, dealing with Jared's actions has been a prolonged thing of awfulness. I have nothing to add other than that I'm sorry it took this long to condemn his actions. Truly a betrayal and a disappointment.
@PeanutButterGmr
I'm now looking for full-time Content Producer/Editor work!
Worked in content creation for 10 years, familiar with influencers and socmed platforms. I excel at getting the best out of any idea. Premiere, AE, Blender, OBS, I got dat~ Contact in bio! Reel:
When you watch Hardcore, it makes sense to make predictions about who's gonna' die, right?
What are some other things you make predictions about, or little tidbits you like to pay attention for?
This debacle has bolstered my wish that media literacy become a mandatory class in high school. No, not because they fucked up, but because folks need to learn how to deal with publications making mistakes. It happens every day, every newspaper, it's normal. Trust yourself.
I am extremely proud to present a little taste of Colorfunk Arcade, a virtual stream set to house the funky dope vibes we'll have on stream~!!
The DEBUT STREAM IS MARCH 31st, my BIRTHDAY, 1pm PST to 9pm!!
PLEASE RT IF YOU DIG IT!!
#ColorfunkArcade
Man remember when
@PeanutButterGmr
said that Waluigi is pretty much the worst Nintendo character there is?
Well I didn't until just now and I'm mad again. How dare you sir?
HEY!
@PeanutButterGmr
is all GROSS sneezing and being sick and stuff so
@SuperPlaid64
and I TOOK OVER THE CHANNEL!!! We're playin' some TowerFall today~ CHECK IT
Tired of seeing this shit.
JUST.
APOLOGIZE.
Just fucking apologize! Even if you don't understand why, apologize first, then find someone whose opinion you respect who would know about the subject at hand who could help you understand.
Dear video games: you should always let your players pause during cutscenes. The option to skip should be behind two button presses, not one. And make your skip button and your pause button different, obviously.
Thanks. Love, someone who plays games muted sometimes~
This is *so* real. Lightskinned black folks get to see this shit first hand all the time, and especially those of us who are mixed race to boot. We can see when you're being better, being supportive, being an ally, and when you're just afraid of getting caught and confronted.
i hear the shit people say when they dont think a black person is in the room (or when they do). I see how my peers in animation lean back and let the abuse slide. no animation is NOT a safe place for black women. we need BETTER
2016 was the resurrection of Hardcore, 2017 was the full year schedule, and if you think 2018 ain't about to bring more deliciousness to the PBGGameplay channel then you underestimate this team~
It's unrealistic for people to know about every possible insensitivity, and it's likely that people will transgress no matter how large their platform is, but all you have to do is have a SEMBLANCE of respect for the situation. We've been down this road enough for people to know.
Hey.
Shout out to
@SuperPlaid64
for doin' them PB&Jeff edits 85% of the time. It allows me to focus on Hardcore while it's running and it's very helpful! Also, every time I come back to PB&J it's more fun 'cause I've had a break. Thanks Jack! Errbody thank Jack! 🙏🏽
One of the things YouTube is best for, tutorials, is so fucking bogged down with calls to action now it's bonkers. Lynda and all those other sites should just be like "Hey come to our site where the beginning of the tutorial is at 0:01 and not 3 fucking minutes in."
Oh yeah. So it's a few days after the 2 year anniversary of me moving to Washington and starting work for PBG~ It's been a lot of fun! I've really enjoyed doing all sorts of shenanigans on the gameplay channel and behind the scenes. Y'all have been kind, thanks~
I forget that Hyrule Warriors' plot involves this lady getting so horny for various Links that Ganon possesses her.
Right?
Like, that's what happens right?!?
THIS GUY!! I got a contract position as a Video Producer at 343i sooo I guess he's my boss now? Very tall, doesn't say much tho'.
REAL TALK THO' extremely excited to push my abilities to new levels with a crew of dope folks that are incredible at what they do~
Surreal AF...
Mario: Splits up its 2D and 3D games
Zelda: Splits up its 2D and 3D games
Metroid: Splits up its 2D and 3D games
Sonic: Splits up it- nope, gotta' put the 2D in the 3D! We HAVE to do it! IT HAS TO HAPPEN!

Huge shout out, as ALWAYS, to
@Krooked_Glasses
for the new portraits! Everyone has been redone (so don't try overlaying the old ones to SPOIL YOURSELF) and we've added some new expressions~
SHE'S SO GOOD Y'ALL! Can't wait for you guys to see... the new DEATH FACES! >:D
Man this season of Hardcore sure has been somethin' else to watch unfold, and we're not even done yet. I'm like... I just have so many thoughts and feelings and it's hard to have to sit on them until the season is over. Suffice to say, I'm glad people seem to be enjoying it!
IT'S BACK Y'ALL! GAME SQUAD returns on PBGGameplay! It's a soft launch, so we're trying to gauge interest before launching it later this year with an arcadey look and feel~
You know it's very interesting the degree to which Nintendo has supported *some* of its Switch titles with new content and totally not for other, still quite (or even more) successful titles. Like how did Aces get 13 new characters and Mario Party got nothing?? Very odd.
Man, I gotta' wonder if all the like middle school kids are like, goin' to class and stuff like "Dude did you find Dr. Wily yet in World of Light? I CAN'T BEAT HIM" and they're just like all yelling about it and there's that kid like "He's easy you're just bad." I hope they are.
As a kid first getting into online games I quickly learned everyone hates kids. They hate their jokes, they hate their skill levels (good or bad), etc. Kids learn that shit from adults. They learn to call themselves and others "trash" from you. Interactions like this change that.
Another tale of a game that could've been one price, with a built-in shop that you earn money at a decent rate in and unlock all the fun stuff in the game and everyone has a good time and keeps the game around in their hearts instead of burning out on Games-As-Service bs~ Oops
Hope y'all enjoyed this season of Hardcore! I had a lot of fun doing it; especially working with the new format. Without spoiling anything, I think the "narrative" as it were that developed was tense and sort of like, foreboding? Which of course gave plenty of room for comedy.
This is legit. When I worked at GameStop I'd get parents proudly declare how little they understood about games and gaming. That ain't the way, but it's on the media/community to get the proper info into places where folks out of the culture can learn in a non-fear-based way.
People will joke about this (and it is hilarious). But a magazine like Women's Day trying to empower parents to understand games (and manage their kids in a healthy positive way) seems light years from where we were even five years ago.
@JesseCox
SWINGS. AND. MISSES. FOR. DAYS! I think *ONE* person guessed
@JesseCox

@lucahjin
to round out our cast!
As some of you may have heard, McJones is indeed retiring from Hardcore. Dean will be back in future seasons tho~!
