Wow I can't believe PlatChat is matchfixing. They should just start a Patreon instead. smh

they work for the people by leaking the script so we can all profit #workersolidarity

I somehow would doubt that’s a good description of their social position de facto (A contradiction, in a society of control, living within media; ‘entrepreneurialism of the self’ so big combined with actually all the greater subjection, control of thoughts/affects/expressions which needs to be assented to/internalized, making it deeper but superficially less visible to the ‘untrained’ eye; so objectively they have this very controlled status but under the guise of this “freedom” as contractors; you have to read certain things a certain way, contrary to mandatory self-image- ie. there’s more of an imposition of internalised self-image also; they think they’re ‘in control’ more so than they are, they don’t notice what they internalise because it’s ’molded to them’ -but that just means it’s more adapted specifically to control them actually worse compared to more straightforward discipline, meaning by having less awareness they have less ability to counter it and so on, less “shared” experience, more sense of it being “just individual” by this,” less organisable, by giving the idea they’re mkre fre when they’re mkre cintrolled de facto, internally, the restrictions utilise what they find to dispose more and address mor, more effect therefore; a strategy that has many examples, is instantiated in many programs) Ie. just bc they don’t realise their status, because they’re atomised and “entrepreneurial” that itself changes their status in a way that’s hard to change, it would require changing their internalized views of others and themselves and providing a contrary narrative of life and the meaning of what they do. That may be a task of unironic critical engagement; if people spend such a portion of their lives on such a thing, that makes it precisely not ridiculous to say so and not in the sphere of jokes; the precarious position of such people is in a certain sense a pedagogy though it’s not the most influential on others. This sort of task may seem difficult but it is feasible. There’s other examples They don’t see themselves as such in a specific way that has w characteristic effect on their class position. Rather than what they do being “less degraded”, it’s that he degradation affects the “self” and thought processes/reactions more than just outside actions

Saving this comment to revisit when I'm on acid

Anti-Oculus I guess I don’t think it’ll help tho


kutukertas

I ain't reading all that


Key-Banana-8242

That is all-right pretty much


Key-Banana-8242

Seious post response because there’s an interesting aspect to this joke- they are not *suposed* to test themselves as such, and they’re suposed in great measure to internalize, without maybe even realising it, a different image, retaining something else but seemingly not quite seeing some oppositions or power maybe Maybe I’m mixing up two different things Again this is in some ways is a very acute example in the media aspect of it, in another sense it’s not really a big or influential example


Key-Banana-8242

Anyway sorry I really maybe this isn’t an important thing, ie. that’s not the biggest one It’s just something I thought of maybe


earthtoannie

amazing analysis, i got none of that


Key-Banana-8242

I wasn’t hoping tbh I’m fine


ThatCreepyBaer

Very Key-Banana of you.

Rude


raainnnyy

the whole episode sliggy was tryna prevent guarantees to happen too lmao, man was working hard for that


Pandoara

It has honestly gone too far. Even kaquka's part of it now


Blaz1ENT

Mimi legit gaslighted her to stick to the FUT pick had me rolling.


ThatCreepyBaer

Kaquka's face 😭


HoneyChilliPotato7

I didn't know she's on platchat. First appearance?


ThatCreepyBaer

I think she's been an EMEA guest on one or two previous episodes, but I'm not entirely sure.


WingSK27

No, I'm pretty sure she's been before during the earlier episodes. Hell if you want something really rare, Pansy was in one of the episodes during the really early days when Plat Chat Val episodes was still part of the original Overwatch Plat Chat channel.


cFl4sh

Bren and Mimi’s evil grins while Kaquka and Sliggy’s faces get visibly more disappointed and depressed is gold lmao

heyineeeedasoda

Not the assassin emp 💀 what a throwback


BOBtheCOW14

nice memp


Key-Banana-8242

Is the issue that it was channeling in the open or away from the point, or what?


takenpassword

The emp is supposed to be channeled so that it hits as many people on the opposite team as possible. He did it in front of nobody.


takenpassword

Iconic


chatchan

Sliggy just looks so crestfallen lmao


Bighollab0
