Hey you!

Here's the backer version of Climate Denial: A Measured Response. The next video is definitely absolutely no take-backs Night in the Woods next time. It was meant to be before this but I hit a stride with the research I was doing into this and couldn't stop.

Please find enclosed Zoe's goodbye horses cover. :D

BACKERVERSION CLIMATE DENIERS

Comments

Charles Herbig

You have to give him some slack for this because he’s setting up Chekhov’s Nutella so Mortimer can be killed later. You don’t think Hbomb can afford TWO jars of Nutella, do you?

yaoibunga

hey.. you got it!

CaitSeith

Yeah, we got it, and sooner than I expected.

Talia P

IM ABOUT TO SLEEP HOW CAN DO YOU POST THIS NOW

Saga Nørgaard

I haven't watched it yet, but great video! I should get to playing Night in the Woods...

Lucas Yochum

If you are talking to people about video games, I'd like to hear you talk to the team behind Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. That game blew my mind, and deserves as much attention as possible.

Holly s

thank you king

Rory Blank

Oh tight. I was just thinking “i wonder when HBomb will have some nice new content”

Arun Singh

Yes! Hail Sobek! A climate denier response, finally!

Talia P

Hbomb definitely try to talk to Danny O’Dwyer

Greg S.

You HAVE to interview Josh Sawyer. In addition to being an incredibly interesting listen, it would also be extremely on-brand. Chris Avellone, Jason Schreier, Noah Gervais, Austin Walker, and Cecilia D'Anastasio would also be really cool interviewees.

Lance Hunter

Welp, so much for sleep. Also, number one interview suggestion: Lowtax.

Woke_Stasi

You should interview Brian David Gilbert from Polygon dot com.

minohoonoo

yess new hbomb! also potential podcast people: Laura Kate Dale, Sarah Zedig, Mia Mulder, Griffin McElroy, Brian David Gilbert, Andrew Yang?

Breeze McKenzie

I think you should absolutely get a hold of the twitch stream/former YouTube LPers WoolieVersus and AngriestPat! They've mentioned you on their podcast after the charity stream so I think it'd be neat if you got in touch with them.

Sam Humleker

In terms of interviewing games folks a number of people come to mind: Jay Tholen: the creator of Dropsy and Hypnospace Outlaw Josh Sawyer: New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity Kitty HorrorShow: The creator of the criminally underrated Anatomy and Chyrza (along with a bunch of other fantastic free horror games on Itch.io) Jon Ingold: Co-founder of Inkle Studios and writer of 80 Days and Heaven’s Vault SonicFox: Needs no introduction. The only good gamer. Austin Walker: Editor-in-Chief of Waypoint Brian David Gilbert: Polygon video editor and creator of the brilliant series: Unravelled Rebecca Cordingley: Creator of the upcoming game Ooblets Zoe Quinn: Depression Quest, Goddess Mode, and all around badass

Sam Humleker

Andrew Yang is a great pull!

Holly s

you should interview Neil Cicireiga

Wakelyn

Please, please interview Anita Sarkeesian. Failing that, Yahtzee. Or Jim Sterling.

casper

this was really really good!! and I really needed it today honestly. thanks!

casper

I second Austin Walker, he’s great and very podcast experienced haha

Josh

Ally Mclean is absurdly talented and has a unique perspective on how she entered the game dev sphere. That'd be my vote.

Prestidigititis

Great video. And if you want to make it up to us for not having the Night in the Woods video completed yet, you could bring Bethany, Alec, and Scott onto your podcast. Y'know.

Ela Sasanka

Justin and Griffin McElroy from the Monster Factory.

Dustin Morrill

Fantastic video, as usual, Hbomb. I've watched it twice, but I haven't been able to get through the Aquaman joke without lol'ing. The section discussing the Iceland ice mass figure was really strong too. As a scientist, those tricks are particularly maddening. I'm not sure how you could have worked it in but I was a little sad that you weren't able to discuss how a lot of working-class people buy into climate denial because their livelihoods depend on it. I'm Albertan and even though most Albertans aren't directly employed by the fossil fuel industry, there are entire towns here that depend heavily on jobs associated with fossil fuel production or ones that require the demand that comes when fossil fuel production ramps up. Couple this with the fact that there is little appetite in the public discourse for imagining a better type of society that doesn't tie living standards (or just living for that matter) to a person's or community's usefulness to capital, then any mention of climate change action feels like a personal attack. I think this kind of desperate, willful antagonism and ignorance is an interesting (and extremely frustrating) component of climate denial that could maybe use more discussion. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that this video connected with me and got me thinking, so thanks!

Finn Chitwood

as a big gay lesbian flirting with leftism i....must resist ironically buying a Socialism is for Fags shirt...

TommyTheDude

shaun as a big daddy skeptic dog makes me uncomfortable

D. E. Wright

'This led me down a hole of discovery.' Honestly I was 1000% sure you were gonna say hole of despair.

Big Nov

Fantastic work as always, my dude! Slightly off topic but does that shirt that Crowder sells just say "socialism is for f*gs"? Am I missing something? Like, is there a pun I didn't catch or some other play on wordad? For once in my life I'm being completely genuine and not sarcastic at all but I am having a hard time believing that his merch is nothing more than a middle school insult. Even for him that just feels low but hey, at least he censored it so it isn't offensive. At all. As for the video, I remember hearing a priest preach about "Christlike patience" and I don't think I ever fully knew what that was until I watched you wade into this pool of bullshit and not completely snap so thank you for doing what you do. Lord knows I don't have the patience (let alone intelligence) to debunk this so thoroughly. Keep up the great work and thank you for making these!

Timothy Robinson

I am here to also suggest Austin Walker, and also Dia Lacina, a Waypoint contributor and games writer at Paste.

Rory Blank

Interview Subjects: Get Video Game Dunkey to say Medicare For All is good. Or more seriously, I guess, is Tim Rogers available? Or Virgil Texas or Felix Biederman?

Buddy Sola

Hey, you should interview David Logan for your games podcast. I feel like no one wants to talk about developing indie titles, everyone's too focused on call of duty and whatever else that all the indie stuff like Lisa gets passed over.

Dr. Teatime

You should get LauraKBuzz and Jim Sterling on for sure.

Vraccas

Pat, Matt or Woolie from former TwoBestFriends Lewis or AngoryTom from the Yogscast

alexis

TOTALLY agree re: working class people buying into it. it's wild honestly, living in bc with alberta pushing so damn hard for the trans mountain pipeline. I get the fear of a major hit to the economy, but it's also not bc's or the country's or the planet's fault that alberta's governments haven't implemented things like a provincial sales tax or done anything whatsoever to reduce the reliance on oil, and people just refuse to see that.

LadyTato

Congrats on the podcast! I would love for you to interview Matt (up is not jump) for obviously reasons but also Many A True Nerd and Nerd3 (cubed)!

Michał Sporzyński

I don't understand Shapiro's appeal. He looks like a dweeb and sounds like a frickin' Muppet. Normally I wouldn't harp on someone's looks and voice, but I'm making the exception here because, oh I don't know, HIS ENTIRE APPEAL IS BUILT ON APPEARANCES AS OPPOSED TO SUBSTANCE. I honestly don't get it.

Occam's Blazer

Hey, I totally recommend you try to interview Cara Ellison. She's Scottish but I believe she just moved to the US, and she's been involved in game development for quite a while. She wrote a book called Embed With Games about couchsurfing around the world and hanging out with indie devs, and I suspect she'd have a lot of interesting stuff to say.

PlaceholderPigeon

1000 points for the Goth Skunk cameo in the background of the Reasonableist Bear images!

Charlotte Parker

I second this, throw Jim Sterling in there too.

Calysto

great video! not quite sure what the dog bit was about but thats fine. wonderful work. here is hoping that we dont all drown

Leigha Schuster

It is 2am here and I definitely work tomorrow, guess I'll watch this 40 minute video

sychaeus

Yayyyyyy your voice is back. A question: at like, 8:30 when you say Greenland isn't fairing as well as the arctic, do you mean antarctic ones? (you may not, i could be confused, but just checking).

Sharly

Heya, really enjoyed the video. One thing to add though, when you use phrases like "obviously wrong" it has the same ring as characters like Shapiro saying things are clearly irrational or illogical. I think you do a great amount of work in demonstrating why the points of deniers are wrong, so it may be better to say things like "provably wrong" before going on to prove it. Obviously it's fine to make fun of hacks and please continue doing so

Wikifeet Community Moderator

This was very good. But it made me shout at my television screen a few times, which is not something I typically do.

Red Rex

Aw, yes. Get that sweet sweet Hbomb into my mind veins!

greydrake42

Ooh, what about Tarn Adams or Tynan Sylvester? I know they both have a lot of interesting things to say about game development. Also go on Chapo. Love your work as always, one of the few channels where I have to pause the video and think about things every so often whilst watching!

ZaitsevFred

But it's the truth though

Naomi Hatchman

I'm okay with a fleck of plaster on a lip. It's food I can't stand (for some reason). Thank you for clarifying... (I'm broken.)

hamertime

Oh yay! I was getting worried!

Ash Rose

So i enjoyed the video, it's a good video! Praise Sobek! Would it be unreasonable to call this the "ad-free backer version" in future if your curiousitystream sponsorship will continue?

miko

at 8:30 you say ‘greenland is not faring as good as the arctic’. in context, it would seem you meant antarctic?

Useless Himbo

Happy I am not the only person who can only think about climate change when they hear Smash Mouth's All Star...

Tristan

You might want to add a statistic when you say individual efforts to curb climate change aren't as effective as political policies. That bit might seem politically motivated otherwise.

Stef Korporaal

At 8:31, I think you meant "antarctic" instead of "arctic." Greenland IS in the arctic.

I'm wasting my money

Great video, shame we’re all going to die a prolonged and painful death

barrence

How about a few folks who can talk about music in games? 8-Bit Music Theory might be a good one to talk about the role of music in games. Also I'm 100% sure Ryan Ike (composer for a bunch of indie games like Gunpoint, West of Loathing, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine, Frog Fractions 2) would agree in a heartbeat to talk about what it's like being a working composer in the industry and what that dynamic is like.

TheCatFodder

(I'm no expert, but) if you're using after effects, you can attempt to use content aware fill to remove the plaster from your lips. Also, I think Mikey Meumann is a good call for the podcast thing.

Kakirtog, the Charr in gold

I agree with the suggestions of Anita Sarkeesian and Jim Sterling as interviewees. I'd like to add WoodenPotatoes, a Guild Wars 2 YouTuber and streamer. He's a bit secretive about his irl stuff, but if you want to talk to someone about an MMO, he's pretty informed about GW2.

Evan

I’ve always wanted a cross over with you and Super Bunnyhop!!!

Pete Asick

This'll be a nice chaser for today's The Daily podcast on the Trump administration's moves to curb climate science

CaitSeith

I was confused about the title because I was sure you already had made a video about Climate Deniers; but I realized that one was about Flat Earthers. Great video. PS: Ha ha! Commercialism! PSS: Horses didn't exist in until Dark Souls 2; and that's why DS2 is bad.

Liz Castro

In terms of who to talk to: I would also jump on the Dia Lucina suggestion (they've got a really strong editorial voice) and would add any of the Easy Allies crew. Depending on your focus, you may want to try talking to What's Good Games (women who've been part of the industry for years) or a group like Girls Make Games who have created programs that help young girls get into gaming. Or maybe even Miguel Sternberg and Alina Sechkin who created "Russian Subway Dogs" especially since both came up in the Toronto dev community and still give back to it.

Andrew H

I almost spat my lunch all over my computer screen when the ax started coming through the wall. Now I need to make the "JUST ONE SMALL PROBLEM" gif for my internet arguments.

Eben Sullivan

There was a small error when you said Nutella was a 'sometimes food'.

Henry W Bartholomew

I think you might have been better served without the part on Round Up, which is a complex issue without nearly the scientific consensus that climate change has. All in all, though, nicely done.

Ken High

That bear's crotch bulge makes me profoundly uncomfortable . . . 10/10

Eoin Thorpe

Im gonna watch this with the pizza i just ordered, and im SO excited about the NitW video!!!

jpeg_of_a_rat

so i'm less than 5 minutes into this but holy fuck the moment with you axing the wall after shapiro's "sell their houses and move" comment was so fucking perfect. that was literally the exact emotion i felt and then you described that emotion onscreen. poetic cinema.

Mikachu

ideas for podcast: Tomska, Lena raine, aurahack

budgetbard

Kris Ligman seems like a good choice! The maker of "You Are Jeff Bezos"!

Dag

Yep yep yep, absolutely. I work in mental health and with people with experience of psychosis... we spent a lot of time in creative arts trying to come up with ideas that would sort of... simulate bits of it to give people an idea - Hellblade was an absolute game-changer for insight for people who haven't experienced psychosis.

Dag

The Yooka-Laylee guys! You did a great video on that and it'd be interesting if you could talk to anyone involved!

Kobe Barkmeier

Each time I get a patron notification from you I get so anxious its the NiTW video, and then I feel a strange sense of guilt and relief when it's not. (I haven't played it yet lol)

saden

You can totally track and paint/clone away the piece of drywall on your lip! And it's TOTALLY the effort for all bajillion shots just before the public deadline! Just go to BRILLIANT.ORG/Imactuallykidding for 25% off your first AfterEffects course

Evan Ritchie

If I'm not mistaken, drinking Roundup has been a common party trick for a long time. I'm pretty sure Australia (where I live) had a TV advertisement about it a long time ago. Otherwise, great video.

Jenlifer Fronester

I love this. One note: this will sound odd, but I know more than one person who absolutely will be triggered by dead dog jokes. That isn't to say not to do it so much as that it could probably use a content note of some sort that lets people decide if they want to deal with that. (I think it's hilarious and well-done.)

Dustin Morrill

Right, and most Albertan's didn't have a say in (or didn't have an alternative to) how our resources were extracted or utilized, but we are the ones who feel the brunt of the economic shocks. I've seen some stats that suggest Alberta as a whole actually has a fairly diverse economy compared to other provinces so I think the problem is more that most communities are small and those communities have very specific economies--most of them either directly or indirectly depending on the fossil fuel economy. Until we can build social structures within communities that weaken their reliance on capital, or at least present this route as a compelling alternative, I think a huge number of Albertans will always fight against climate action, at least in part because they feel like they have no other choice.

Mohmi

The discord invite is expired :(

alexis

would love that when it's done lmao

Valastrius

15 minutes into captioning the video and I'm annoyed that this is taking so long. :/

alexis

re: trees needing CO2 - maybe if we stopped razing forests and jungles that would be important, but given that the amazon is being chopped down alarmingly fast and that deforestation elsewhere is countered with "n trees planted per y trees chopped" as if seeding new trees outweighs the older growth being destroyed.... comments about CO2 being necessary for trees is completely irrelevant

Sasha

I was really enjoying this video up to the point that you pretended to pour Nutella into your mouth and acted like you were actually eating it. Come on, we all have an intuitive sense of how viscous Nutella is and it would obviously not flow into your mouth that easily.

CaitSeith

This makes me crave for an "Anti-vaxx: A Measured Response" video. Once someone starts to say "Cancer is actually a good thing" with a straight face (I wish I was making this up), we need a professional to handle this level of absurdity.

Ryan McCabe

Jeeyon Shim would be great for an interview. She doesn't focus on video games as much as creating LARPS that you can do by yourself or even with your dog. She teaches at a outdoor camp teaching survival skills through role play and you can find existing interviews with her on the podcast BACKSTORY ep 52

Orion The Oreo

Thing is, anti-vaxx response would have to cover the same "why do people reject science" points mixed with the capitalist hellscape of lack of healthcare that makes people go "well I cant afford millions on chemo, time to try silver!".

dragontatoes

I think it would be a great video topic, because it also allows for discussion of ableism and eugenics in medicine as well as medicine skeptics, a discussion I wish we saw more in leftist circles. It's not a two sided issue of science vs anti-science, but one far more complex.
