Questions from Patreon Part 64 - Comment Moderation, Vegas Software, Games as Art

You can send in questions by messaging my on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/SebastianSB/ 6:19 Ganymede105: I just got done rewatching your two videos on video editing, and while they were very informative of the process itself, I didn't hear much about how you chose what software you're using. Could you talk about how to chose Vegas as your primary editing software? Was there other software you tried before Vegas? Do you find it worth the cost, as compared to using a free alternative? 52:59 Jan H: I have gathered from your answers to video comments that you usually have a pretty strong opinion on things, to put it mildly. While I know that you don't see moderating comments as your job and you may not like it, have there ever been instances of you having to take up the role of said moderator seriously, e.g. where a person was being racist, sexist or just very rude? How do you deal with that, it's not something you just know how to do. Cheers! 1:14:48 Joker: You talk a lot about parasocial relationsships and also about highly critical and mocking comments you get when you make mistakes. For me the mistakes are often one of the best parts of let's plays as they lead to funny situation or it's just funny when someone misses something fairly obvious. I used to comment about how funny I thought these situations are. But thinking about parasocial relationships, these could come across as malicious comments. So I thought I just ask you directly: If you get comments talking about how funny a mistake was that you made, does it come across as mocking to you? Do you feel like the commenter is laughing with you or about you from a comment like that? 1:39:00 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), Highway of Death, Roger Ebert, Games as Art, Politics in Games

I'm one of those people that don't receive a whole lot of media representation, so it was very good to hear your thoughts on how you deal with shitty comments, and your reasons for doing it the way you do. 'ppreciate it :) (unrelated aside: the moment you got ganked by the Tauren bot-trio was unexpectedly nostalgic. We've been decluttering our place, and in the process found a whole stack of WoW boxes from back when my husband used to solo 5 character party things with his bots. Because he could and because he never was big on the whole social aspect of social gaming, I think)

Arguments against diversity because it's "forced" or "it's not even relevant to the plot" are super weird, like people need a reason to exist, or you're only somehow allowed to have minority people if the whole plot is *about* being the minority in question, that's so tiring.
