As a poor person that could never afford anything new, I DON'T MIND having the short end of the stick and someone telling me "listen, we know you're on a 7 years old CPU and we'd love to have you with us but if we do anything to support your thing, we can't really do our thing".
THAT'S FAIR GAME.
The HUGE ISSUE is that games are ASS. Optimized like crap and now we have a channel also exposing graphical designers and how Unreal Engine at its core works and how it could be optimized to gain a lot of miliseconds from 1 action (of rendering) to another.
This is not important but CRITICAL. If you told me you couldn't support my R5 2600 and I needed something faster starting on a 7600 (hypothetical), I wouldn't have an issue as long as you can be sure that if I got the 7600 or better, I'd be playing at 100+ fps constant no issues @ target resolution. But that isn't the case. Often times you have people with good CPUs and/or powerful GPUs struggling. And those are the people with availability in a good country, a Microcenter nearby, the economic capability and sometimes those who "upgrade" every year or every 2 years. What's left for the rest of us then?
Edit: Like I don't give a chocolate fudge about "global illumination" and all those buzzwords, when you have 2009 games that look FANTASTIC. The enviornment looks good, the weather effects look good, the atmosphere is fantastic... and they didn't have all these technologies back then. And THAT is the biggest issue I think most of us have with the logic of "we need to move forward".
In F1 analogy, sauber saying: "we need to move forward" and it's like well yes, your car barely moves. Start with having a decent enough car, then you can move forward.

"This is so goofy"
Selects a COW to be a WARLOCK.
Also, in Spanish, "Lucia Caritas" could mean "Lucy little faces". Just thought you should know.
[Short version: Selecting male character makes me uncomfortable in my brain]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALSO, I was thinking about this yesterday. Asmon was inside my head saying "how can you play a girl if you're a dude!". So I sat there for 10 minutes in silence, contemplating a compelling, well-thought out answer. I reached the conclussion that I need to talk to Dr K about it and for him to explain it because all I could think of was the steps of how I came to be playing girl characters in games.
It all started with boobs and asses, of course. My best friend and I played the "slutty Russian badass twins" stuff when duo-ing games. It was all for fun. Our argument was "I'm a guy in real life, why would I NOT want to be a super hot, great ass, big boobs girl?
Then it shifted from that to feeling much more comfortable in my brain playing female characters. Not necessarily as a girl... you know, like, catfishing and stuff. Just thinking of the female character as an actual character, with a story and all. Not so much for RP just for personal interest. This is paired with the fact that, visually speaking, I like the female body much more. There are some male bodies that I look at and say "oh wow, he looks great", but doesn't happen very often. Of course, sexually wise, male bodies is a 0% for me.
And last, all that together, makes me want to make a good female character that is actually compelling and badass. For SOME reason which I can't explain, I find pleasure thinking I'm playing a girl that will kick your ass or is the best cook (I like cooking, this is unrelated to female sex) as well as sniper or mage or whatever the character may be, who has worked for it while at the same time being... normal I guess. Like an everyday badass cool girl.
I know Zack won't read this but thought I'd share just in case or if anyone else actually had that doubt.

Excellently done, Asmon. As pretty much always when it's something "serious". I've watched most of this interview earlier today on the stream instead of taking a shower, I'm finishing it now because I was interested in what Steven had to say.
It has come to my attention that apparently he's been in an MLM scheme; Personally I don't give a shit and doing some minor research you can come up with some definitions of what that is and what happened and come to your own conclussions. I personally see no problem. It could be the biggest best scheme in the world ever in the history of mmos, even better than Chronicles of Elyria... but I still choose to believe the good.
Also because, personally for me, the guy did NOT have to give you this interview while driving to Vegas. What the fuck? Lol that's awesome, so totally unprepared for your questions. And on top of that, he spoke A LOT, non-stop, going all over the place with important stuff, core mechanics and details inside and out... that is not something a scammer does unless they are literally the best. If this is a scam, I will never get mad becuase it'd be so fucking pro you'd have to commend it.
I wish all the best for AoC team. We need a WoW competitor!

The people who believe posting a black square on instagram, "BlackoutTuesday", dressing in a way, not streaming, etc. will REMOVE racist thoughts out of a person's mind and stopping them from being racist, are idiots.
Apply this to any other trendy movement over the years. It never works.
Next time, I want someone to call out the pattern that most if not all of these people are into gender stuff, pronouns in bio, gay flags of all kind on profile, furry stuff, etc.
There's a pattern. Not that if you're one of those, it means you're the other. But if you're the other, high chance that you're one of those.

This extreme cases scale sucks. The "allow everything, zero moderation" or "moderate everything and allow nothing" situation is terrible.
There was a certain channel that was basically not shown on Search if you were inside the US, apparently. I am not, so I searched and the channel was there for me. But all the U.S residents couldn't find it. They could find results of other channels and videos talking about said channel, but not the channel specifically, even though the channel wasn't banned. (It was perhaps what we called "shadowbanned"). It was also during some election times, I think.
This is a problem, because with the algorithm being a closed source and private code, we can't really know if indeed Google/YouTube applies it equally to every piece of content, or not. And seeing how YouTube works in general (for example, the fact that I get 8 out of 10 recommendations from channels I follow or similar, and then 2 videos that last 20 minutes+ with 700 views or less from channels with 100 subscribers - which isn't bad on itself, but it's a weird way of the algorithm to work), I don't think it does. But can't confirm as we can't see the code. Another example, is verified Twitter accounts from Hollywood actors with claims in favor of certain economic systems or countries as "heaven on earth" (such as Cuba). The most recent one, is where Mark Hamill joined the rest of Avengers (while they were saying Avengers Unite) suddenly speaking fluent Portuguese in support of Lula Da Silva, the recent victor of Brazilian presidential elections. It could be argued "they were all personally just voicing their opinion", which you can't argue with as no one can read someone else's mind or know true intention. However, the context showcases that it was something else. And at that point, while Twitter may not be responsible of it, that is another part of social media/internet that could also be used as "recruitment".
On a counterpart, also on Twitter, no Elon Musk is the CEO (or owner I guess), and it's been said recently that he implemented, allegedly, a new algorithm that would boost his own tweets to everyone, with a bunch of people saying they have been seeing a bunch of his tweets much more, even though they don't follow him or already said "show less from account". I personally haven't experienced that in particular, I just keep seeing his tweets normally, so can't say whether or not that is true, but I wouldn't put it past them lol
There is no real win here unless experts like you and other content creators work as advisors in the making of the legislation and this takes idk, a year to discuss so it's well done. Because if they don't do anything, it stays as it is now, with all the problems we have. If they do something and do it wrong, we could see an insane shift in how the internet is used.

You will never not have "fans" or followers that don't research.
In my entire life I would never research the privacy policy of fucking Nissan, or anybody for that matter. That is why I trust that you did so, and am glad when your videos are 9 to 15 minutes long and I can move on after that. I trust you because:
- You've been at this for years now
- You are an actual owner of a repair shop, you know about legislation and such - You also actually know about repairing things
- You are not afraid of uploading a video when you are wrong
That is enough for me, to consider you, a source of news on "how did X company fuck us over today as customers?".
There is literally NO WAY that all the people on youtube, who follow many different topics, could have the time of doing their own research on every single thing every time, on top of living their life.
Also, yes, you were "wrong" but... collecting data on the sexual activity of their employees? Why? Why does that matter at all?

I am learning about it and I was kinda entertained getting to know a little bit of history and where "unix" and "GNU" came from, relating to Linux.
So from now on, while I am ok with anyone calling it what they want (which is the essence of this OS! We can do what we want!), I will start calling it G - N - U Linux. Not "Gnu".
So maybe some day I will get my own DT pissed 1 minute video.
Jokes aside, I do firmly believe that while GNU and knowing why it's there and what it means MATTERS... Tux and Linux is just plain better. The "Gnu" animal is so fucking dumb. Meanwhile the pengWings can look like secret agents. And the word is just cool. "Linux". It's simple, fast, catchy. If you want people to adopt, semantics on silly names are the least of your problems. And to make matters worse, even when "Linux" was a "novelty" 10 or 10+ years ago... for the regular person, it was "Linux, the one with the little penguin".
He got upset for a naming scheme he didn't respect himself.
Got upset for a personal tier list.
What's next? Maybe he does need to sleep.

This video rubs me the wrong way and I can't think exactly why or maybe I'm just not smart enough. But I'll try to lay out my thoughts and maybe they will make sense, but I am open to be entirely mistaken.
You mention he doesn't get money from a sponsor on this video but if I remember correctly, back when I watched LTT (more on this later) they would have TWO sponsored bits per video usually and Linus himself had stated several times that a lot of the money they get is from direct sponsorships AND the subs/floatplane revenue and LTT Store, not the ads as much (It's been a WHILE so I could be 1000% off on this, correct me please).
You also mention (paraphrasing) that he does this even considering his big business with employees and such, kind of like "doing it because they're so good and cool" and this is where I personally have an issue where I am not sure if I'm just being stupid or I have a valid point. He was months ago in a video from GN stating all the inaccuracies and a bunch of "not so morally/ethically great" actions. He was already a big dawg on top of the tech-tube sphere and instead of driving things forward, they decided to slop. Now, until a Steve2 appears and calls out Steve from GN as a man that is not transparent/shady and/or inaccurate in their results and such, I will keep trusting what they say. I will not trust LTT again. I understand we should give people the opportunity and a second chance to do better, but I personally have a very hard time coming to terms when someone who was supposed to do something in a certain way, didn't do so. And I don't mean a possible mistake where, let's say, under testing SOMETHING HAPPENED and their numbers are bad and then they reissue the video saying "yeah we were off because XYZ, these are the real numbers". That can happen, it could happen to anybody! That is a forgivable mistake. Like the same "mistake" that you had with your employee, or your employee made when uploading the recovery data video. That is more than understandable. But it's different when say you let him upload something, he fucks it up because it's something new to him and he doesn't know, you blame him instead of yourself despite not teaching him anything and maybe you punish him (hypothetical). THAT in my eyes is a mistake that I have a really hard time coming back from. And that is how I felt with LTT. It was a good source that I trusted, even used their forums and all. After that, I can't go back. And he's not the only one, MKBHD is another one. It's like asking people to trust EK Waterblocks again under the promise that they are now going to do better.
I am NOT saying they're bad people, deserve failure or anything of the likes. I in fact commented this in their SECOND (important for context) "apology" video. He was making a statement to "haters and people that wanted them to go down". I said, I don't want you to fail. I want you to keep your business running and improving and growing, but I personally feel disappointed and will no longer watch your content (all channels).
The fact he made this video is very commendable, but is not the first time he would make a video that goes "against certain interests". He's built the channel around that and he has the leeway of doing so now as a big name. He could perhaps make or break your brand as well (depending on which). But this video makes it sound like he's some sort of unsung hero and we all should love him because of it when in fact what I stated above happened. Some people might've stuck with them, some people might've forgiven them and that's totally fine. Good for them and I'm glad. But I can't get that out of my head just because of 1 single video with some good/FOSS/FUTO software.
And to "prove my point" sort of, you should've made like 3 or 4 videos about JayZ2C already, becuase they have made videos (recently) about good free software, how to use them, etc. though perhaps not FOSS. And yet you didn't. To be clear, I'm not saying it's WRONG or that you should make it, I'm just saying that it feels unfair/unfortunate in a certain way, if that makes sense. Probably it doesn't and this comment will be taken the wrong way. I'm responsible for this comment and I wouldn't mind getting pinned for people to butcher me in the comments if I'm completely wrong.
Rewatching your video just in case I forgot something, I want to add one more thing. You say you respect the fact he makes this video "anti-google" which would basically be anti-his-employer. Now, I'm not saying this is the REASON or they're doing it out of greed or anything but I mean floatplane is their platform and I wouldn't be surprised if they said "Oh no, part 2 got taken down, well you can watch it on floatplane". Now, this is NOT WRONG or bad. It makes total sense, and maybe does not have any malice in it either, but that is not exclusive to the fact that at some point, even unconsciously, indirectly and maybe with good intentions, has a bias. Like you have with them including FUTO software. Again, not saying you do it with that purpose, been watching your channel for a while and I "know" (trust) you are not like that, but perhaps there's a bit of bias internally you can't shake off. If people "wake up" and start moving away from google and they go to, say, floatplane... then that's great for them.
And overall, Linus has never "completely sold out" either, so saying "he made a video opening people's mind and doesn't see a dime" is like... maybe. I feel there's something there but can't articulate anything on it.

You are very energetic and entertaining.
As a linux noob, I distro hopped a lot until I settled for EndeavourOS. I loved it, love the community with some gripes sometimes (it happens in the linuxsphere) that helped me greatly with some stuff.
If you're GETTING into Linux, I agree, go for Mint. It's just an amazing stable OS. I am sad they removed KDE from the get go, but whatever.
Now, also as a Linux noob, all these videos are "daunting" because Linux people SHOW others what to do/how, but they don't TEACH. You said "a nurse said" and then suddenly you're like "we're isntalling/adding repositories, it's that easy". WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT. What is a repository, what does it do, why is it necessary? These questions might have a lot of info, but if you make it ELI5, it will go a LONG way because next time little Timmy sees a screen pop up and reads "repos" he'll go like "Oh yeah this is that thing!". They will UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE DOING. It's a two fold argument:
1) Yes, I know. "You don't have time", "we're adults, we can learn and investigate"... yadda yadda. You said it yourself Mufasa, Apple stuff works because it's made for even lobotomized people. THAT'S THE TRICK.
2) That is also THE DIFFERENCE. On Macs, you serve the things and that's it. They just learn to tap tap tap and nothing else. But on Linux, you WOULD WANT people to understand what you're talking about. Actually use their brains. So this would be the best way to do so, it's the middle point.
I'm thinking a really long video explaining the most basic stuff that it's used on the daily on Linux, step by step. Even use paint or little dolls and boxes to represent managers, explain the differences, etc. Make it intuitive/interactive, dynamic. That is how people (on a big and general scale) learn.
Because the way you did it, Timmy is going to copy you and it's going to be ok. But Tommy Sebastian, Linus twin brother, will get by advice of a coworker/employee, Pop_OS and so they will click YES DO AS I SAY and nuke their system because of some apt background fuckery. As great and stable as Mint is, there are some "problems" that could crop up by using the managers. Sometimes dependencies get left orphaned and such. This is why you want to teach what things mean and people to not be afraid of the terminal. Not because some elitist bs of "this is the right way". No, this IS the right way, but for these good reasons. Also it makes people use their head and thing. Schools don't do it anymore, so you might as well do it through Linux.

"Stop looking for the next thing to spend the next 10 years on".
Can't agree on this one. That is why we, who are sadly still part of the "community", played and wants to play MMOs. I understand that being part of the community doesn't make us the market, but still.
There is no (or not a lot) single player game that plays like a true RPG/fantasy game where you can have a class and make a character that levels up and does stuff around in the world. KCD is one, CyberPunk can be considered one. The Witcher series, and perhaps From Software games (DS, Sekiro, ER now). Besides that, what else is there that plays "Like an mmorpg" but in SP / story mode? There isn't. Or if there are they either don't look great or don't play great.
MMORPGs are unique in their own way of connecting/mixing different type of content and creating a universe where you can "live your life" (as the character).
Wow, another KR mmo, amazing! Here we go for either 48 hrs UP TO 3 months of meaningful fun in it. People have been accustomed to the swipe and the grind, so now they think killing mobs endlessly or buying 70 dollar packs is fun, so you can't have this argument anymore. In the meantime, something that is true, Western releases... ugh. But if you look closely, the development of NW was insanely crazy, they changed directions like 2 or 3 times mid development and then they wanted to go the "default route" but by putting grindy mechanics in place. No wonder it sucks. It's basically a nothing burger. Korean mmos AT LEAST have big titties and fun combat.
In addition, and this Asmon said himself, sometimes 20 dollars can be a lot for someone. That's the case for a lot of people here, that's why they played WoW. Not only was the game pretty fucking good, it was huge, but also you could pay a sub that was super cheap. They "standardized" it a couple years ago to make it match the U$D price. But back then people in US would pay like 10-15 dollars and we would pay (converted in dollars) like 1 per month. It totally sucks that you decide to stretch and pay 15 dollars a month for a sub and in 3 months you realize the game sucks or you can't advance and you quit. And then you think "Man, I could've saved 3 months worth of sub to buy 1 new AAA game that could've been great". Or buy anything else. Or just save the fucking money.

"Why would you allow non meta?"
For the same reason you allow your friend to play his one and only stupid shit useless ret paladin class, doing shit damage instead of something that would be more useful.
Also not the case with him unless he's trolling you on stream, but sometimes people who play off-meta or different characters play better. They understand stuff better and are more focused. They know they're playing off meta, so the amount of damage someone else can make will be much easier job for them, taking less time, less mechanics and such. So for that reason, this person is paying more attention not to die and try to do better. Not always the case though, of course.
And last but not least, to have FUN. Sometimes, a lot of times, the "Optimal" or "the meta" is boring as fucking hell. And you know this too.
Like being realistic, you've done shit damage many many times on top of dying and usually get carried by the hundreds of people that want to queue up to play with you. And that's FINE. Because you said already that you don't care anymore about tryharding like a madman and worrying about all that shit. You just wanna play the game and have fun. Well, that's your answer. You may accept a ret paladin into your group, which is complete shit, but in return you have a lot of fun and maybe gain a friend for years to come.

After your video, I do not think they are doing open source (as you said, that's ok!) but I do worry. Maybe perhaps because of being ignorant, I thought "open source" was just... "Not proprietary closed code" on where people could look at it and know what was going on.
Again, perhaps I'm just ignorant, so maybe I don't represent others but I do feel that me, somewhat tech savvy and that I have dipped my toes into Linux before didn't understand this properly or didn't even know about "fair code" term or even that OSD definition (I didn't even know that existed), maybe other people won't either.
And I am South American, which means most people here across several countries (minus Brazil) speak Spanish. I've heard about "Linux", "Foss" and "Open source" since I was a teenager from some (computer class) teachers at school. But I've never heard anyone mention "fair code". Not growing up in school, not on the internet up until this moment (I'm almost 30). I will repeat at the risk of being annoying: perhaps it's just me. Perhaps I dropped the ball in... not seeing that? Or whatever you wanna call it.
But I feel the term Open Source goes around willy nilly a lot and I feel a lot of people don't take these guidelines of the term into account. And my gripe is that this wouldn't be brought up by the Microsofts of the world or the Googles. This is something mentioned over and over by people in the community or within the sphere. So the fact that this ISN'T a cemented definition engrained in people's brains as a default thing... in simpler terms and with a comedic twist I see it as "FOSS advocates still fight over the definition of the key characteristic of their software after 50 years".
I think this is a great conversation to be had openly and more frequently, and that people should "press" for this to be out there much more.
Edit: So if I understand correctly to summarize: Open Source is like super omega free with no restrictions no matter how sad you feel and fair code is anything as open source as it can be but you put in some restrictions. If this is correct, then this distinction needs to be more popular, I feel it's good to know.

The friendzone take from Anita is clearly from a compilation of terrible experiences with potentially manipulative guys/rapists lol
I'm someone who got "friendzoned" (I say it this way for simplicity's sake) constantly all the time and the only one to blame was myself for misunderstanding. Also it literally ties directly into the previous topic of "men don't get emotional support (and intimacy)". I had a lot of female friends because on certain traits, I vibed much more with them than with guys. And then that whole mix led up to me, a young dummy, falling for my friends. "Recognizing" after a while that I liked them (which is a stupid thing on itself). MAYBE there was an unconscious "plan" of "i'm going to be a great guy, so she will like me" on certain occasions with "new people" like that new girl that got into your class in school, but other times I fell for people I had already known for a while. But it was never a matter of "I wanna fuck this girl and if she says no..."
And I'm someone who has a hard time empathizing with others on many aspects, I am working on that trying to get better so maybe it will take time to me internally to understand this better. But as of now, I care for the sex worker as much as I care for Stephen Colbert, James Corden, Jimmy Fallon... I don't. They are entertainers. They are doing things for "quick pleasure" and their content IS disposable. I am sorry if that is harsh to hear, but whether it's sexual content or not, it is not something that (generally speaking) can be perpetuated as "the greatest thing ever".
I feel bad knowing that firefighter volunteers (with no salary) can't pay the rent of their building so the station has to close (you read that right). People that ALSO have a demanding job, that put their body under a lot of training and stress and risk their lives to save yours; can't feel the same for someone who is twerking on a penis. This way of thinking of "how things should be, therefore this is completely wrong" almost never yields results and it ends up written off as "people don't care, people won't listen". Technically to an extent, it is true. But that is not how it works. The reality is different. Reality is actually what "is" and gives us ideas of what "it could/should be" or what it "couldn't/shouldn't be". Stupidest example to make my point: LoL, Dota, etc. were games that were thought to be "cooperative multiplayer games, pairing 5 different players for a common goal - destroying the enemy's base". And yet more often than not, that doesn't happen or happens not in the best way. I don't think devs ever thought "yeah, let's make it this way so everyone is really toxic". It's just what happens. And there are processes to these things. It doesn't happen from 1 day to the next, but over a period of time. So could this be better? Should it be? YES. Of course. Is it wrong to be toxic in the game OR steal someone's work? YES. But bad people have existed since forever. That is reality. If this is such a problem: Why don't they all unite to shutdown free pornsites, especially the "official whitelisted ones" like Phub. Why don't they get together to create a paid service so porn isn't free anymore and they lower the risk of stolen work? And the last point is no one forced them to do that type of work. Porn is not new. It's something that has been done for ages now, so getting "into the field"... you kinda know what to expect. So you knowingly got into it. That shouldn't be a thing to blame society for. Of course they are consumed and they are a product. Because that is the type of work they do. They're as much of a product, to an extent, as Meryl Streep or James Hetfield. Not to me, I have the opposite take where I don't care who you are or what you do, you're human to me like everyone else, including myself. Which in turn gets me into some trouble with people. But I'm talking in general about the rest of society. They will dehumanize sex workers as much as they do night show hosts, youtubers, musicians, etc. It's a line of work that sadly makes people get this stupid idealization of the other person, whether the idealization is positive or negative, and when that isn't true, there's shock. There is a second layer on which Anita is right, and is that if Jimmy Fallon died tomorrow, people would "care". It would be for the drama or whatever, but they would know about it. But I feel that is also because watching a late night show in your living room, isn't "problematic" vs having a list of your favorite pornstars to which you jack off every night at 35 years old, which makes it something "hidden" and "taboo" topic.
PS: Some things she said were articulated perfectly, I actually learned a lot and gained perspective. Other things she was skating into space on how judgmental and one sided it was. I don't blame her, we're all the same to an extent depending on the context. But some things were like compiled into this big hypothesis that didn't make any sense.

I think 5th was the last actually entertaining good "FF" movie. Like 3 tokyo was cool but was like wait, what the fuck? Like it had nothing to do with the first 2. Yes, they connected it later, they brought in Han and whatever, but like as a fan of a franchise you saw 1 no one knows how many times, you saw the 2nd. You also played the shit out of NFSU and NFSU2. And then suddenly 3rd movie has no one of the old members (except Toretto in the end) and happens somewhere else and it's like what?! But then 4 brought it back a bit to its roots, and 5 was massively ridiculous, but GOOD. Like good goofy action and fun.
I remember watching F&F2, and if I remember correctly they jump a fucking bridge, the asian girl with the pink car. They do it and it's already ridiculous but then she lands and the car (the front at least) gets fucked. In FF 1 Brian (Paul Walker) also fucks his car with driving it like a noob and the NOS thing. Like even within the ridiculous settings of the universe, there was some semblance of ground and that it was "reality". It was believable. Feasibility. Later on they went off rails.

I've been loving the challenge and all the reactions. I am both learning and noticing new things with each.
For example, now. Let's go:
- Linus doesn't know about apt on Manjaro but sets up a KVM. Also Linus, who is the master of hotkeys and shortcuts doesn't know you can refresh with... F5?. I've always used F5, I swear lol. I don't understand why you'd look for "refresh" in a contextual menu BEING LINUS. Being your mom or whatever it makes total sense; Kinda awesome your mom would know about refreshing.
That said, the fact that it isn't in the context menu is kind of a problem and dumb decision. Also, that said, I've been copying from SSD to HDD folders with 4.5Gbs of files (avg) and they're done in like... 2 minutes. And they would be much faster I think, if I had a better PC and more importantly, super fast SSDs like Linus probably does.
As for the printers, they both say and show what printers they have so I mean, go watch the video again? Lol
Linus talking about file extensions in previous videos and literally going "delete dis, .zip is done!" in this one was hilarious to me.
I also don't understand why that happened to Linus. As far as I'm aware, Manjaro ships with VLC. So that should've worked without problems. You recommend VLC, funnily enough Chris Titus recommends Celluloid because VLC works badly for him (and he shows it on the video). I tried both, they're ok. I tried Haruna too.
And yes, you can pretty much "configure" and "show alternatives" for almost everything on KDE. That's why I like it, and you can configure the show desktop button to minimize everything.
The "On the bottom" text is... a dumb complain. That's just him not liking it, is not an issue.
I moved from Manjaro yesterday because I didn't want to deal with "arch stuff", installed Zorin because it looked like it would do the job but then I realized I hate gnome and nautilus. So I just deleted again and installed KDE Neon lol. Still need to finish configuring it, but so far so good.
One of the biggest issues Manjaro has imo, even though it's very user friendly, is that Arch needs its own packages and then you have flats and snaps as well (and aur!). Is too much to keep track of if you run into problems later.
I like Dolphin a lot, though I do agree that there should be an option to get admin privileges, at least with a warning screen of "hey you gon break stuff if u done goof!".

"No man, they were just making the game!"
That we know of LUL
------------
I've played some sports games ever since I was a kid and on PS1. Back then Winning Eleven (Pre PES) was the king and FIFA was trash, literally. Like if you kicked the ball from one specific part/square (grass design) of the field the ball would fly up and down and bounce right under the GP's arm. The graphics were horrible compared to WE too. The overall thing was just garbage.
I agree with you on the yearly releases with minor changes to make a ton of money and due to licensing contracts suck. I think that is one of the reasons. Maybe not back in the day, but today where you could update the game's databases all the time instead of giving DLC's they sell you the full game again. That is fucking trash. The minor changes are so minor, or sometimes so shitty it also sucks.
But the fun in sports games is to play things that don't happen in real life. Doing things your own way. Building your own team, or doing the scouting. Some people like my brother love statistics, numbers, percentages and the likes. He plays a lot of "manager sims" instead of the full games. The strategy part is also fun. And I remember doing all of that back in the day.
The shitties part of these games, specially NBA, is that due to the devs implementing some shit mechanic for gameplay makes it so you start having fun and after a month you realize that the base code of the game is fucked and you either have to put the sliders on super easy or be a literal pro.
Some other games like F1 or racing sims, once you go up in difficulty (disabling assists and such) you start noticing details and realizing how hard things are in real life, and perhaps they even get you interested in the sport. I didn't watch F1 2 years ago, tried out one of the games and thought it was cool. The deeper you go, depending on what, the better it gets.
Same for Mil-sim games. It's all shits and giggles to run around killing everyone like a nutjob, but having to go slow, actually aim, think of position and strategy, protocols/rules to follow, be in comms, the bullet drop and leads, etc. it's a totally different thing. It puts into perspective what a real person lived or is living in real life in another part of the world.
The problems are not sports games on themselves, the problem is EA and 2K making them shit.

Louis, could you please investigate further in 2 weeks or a month from now about this? I would love follow ups on this. I feel this important.
I remember watching channels years ago that got millions of views, and at some point they stagnated sub growth but even with sub growth they dipped to the thousands of views per video only. Especially gaming related channels. And if my mind works not too badly, I think it was especially after the whole Adpocalypse debacle. I think this is just the chain that keeps on getting links, since years ago. I can't confirm, but would love to know if these channels specifically are going to start having these things pop up in their dashboard. Meaning, channels that are "specifically hurt by the algo whether on purpose or random" and are pulling "low views". Or channels that could have a margin of views too large between videos, for example, one video is 50k views and the next 250k, and the next 60k and the next after 160k and so on and forth.
In this case, you only showcased one example, and if I saw correctly his dip in views happened on videos from years ago, which leads me to believe that for whatever reason, he's one of the victims of one of the several "adpocalypsis" we've had so far. As a mod of a small content creator (who thankfully doesn't do it full time if this goes worse), I am worried. He's been at it for a decade and only recently started growing. But hit randomly with the recent "invalid traffic" debacle, which was very demoralizing and also has setup a bit of fear (understandably so). It would be nice if you could follow this video with a part 2 or something on if this is happening to other creators and to see which ones and maybe see if there's a pattern on the type of channel (size, growth, views, content, etc.)

Original comment, deleted because you kind of answered in video that can't be done at browser level:
Honest question, no judgment: Why do people like you, who use a "Different chrome" as browsers care about this so much? Don't you feel you are actually doing a disservice by using yet another chromium based browser? Are you afraid that even people who use Chromium Based browsers but not Chrome would get locked out? (I don't see this happening unless Google and Microsoft ally with each other? to not fuck each other over?).
You say commenting isn't enough, which I 100% agree, just like marching protests. But is the argument of being a "fork" enough to say you use "chromium but just a bit" and move on? Legitimate question as I have no knowledge about this. No real technical knowledge, I mean. It's the reason why I came back to Firefox (and consequently to Linux), despite the inconveniences.
Like if everyone used FF (or Safari) and nothing Chrome related (including Chromium), wouldn't that have much more weight into the web as a whole? (Not saying you HAVE to use FF, just posing the thought).
Edit: thinking of Edge, it's the only one that (natively) streams Netflix 1080p or up to 4K, for example. So I think this change would suit Msft to partner with Google. They just play pretend enemies.
New addition: We're fucked. Mozilla has been "exploring" the option for tab grouping for more than a year now. They push extensions as "the cool thing" instead of making it into the browser as a feature. They ship things like "pocket" which I guess some people use and others like me, don't. Thankfully you can remove it.
My country has 50% poverty and rampant crime where the legal system can't even act quick and swift enough to put criminals in jail (or not release them). I doubt we can do anything at all to have a say in a worldwide internet matter. I still believe that we could do our "grain of sand" part by switching browsers, which is what I have done. My doubts still remain: "In the hypothetical people do not use Chromium based things, would that help"?. That is maybe the main question I actually want to know the answer to. And I said we're fucked because as you said, people are not going to all switch to FF. Or protest. A lot of people just use Edge because it's right there and people like it or not, it's a good browser that works very well, minus Msft telemetry bs and Bing ads. I used it as main browser before switching and some of its stuff, I still miss. Other stuff, I do not.

I THINK I had SEGA Genesis v2 as my first console. I don't remember it having red buttons, so it's not the v1, and the v3 just looks off so I don't think it's that one either.
What a marvelous thing. Being 5 years old, I spent HOURS playing on that (1 hour a day felt like 100 lol). I was the master of MK3 Ultimate - no one could beat me in the neighborhood. I knew all the fatalities for every character and how to unlock Shao Kahn and Motaro, but I did not know brutalities nor Shan-Tsung transforming tricks.
And the DBZ game. I had it later for PC as well. Great times.
Then moved onto PS1. Then PS2, PS3. My brother got the XBox 360 and then the One S. At that point I already was part of PC.
PS1 to 3, and maybe 5 now. But the first 3 were great. They were literally the generation leap of the other one. Like I remember playing Winning Eleven A TON on PS1. My favorite games, but you couldn't play RE4 and the likes on that. That was PS2, massive upgrade. Not to forget DB Budokai Tenkaichi 3. And it still looks fucking great to this day tbh. Then PS3 came as "next gen", up in graphics, and usability with better online connection and services, web browser, etc. It didn't work well, I remembe rbuying that over a PC at the time bc it was kind of cheaper than a PC, and I didn't know anything about computers. With this I thought I can play games and browse the web which was what I used to do back then. The PS4 was like an update to PS3 while 5 is the clear generation leap.

True point, however, key differences.
Cyberpunk, trailer included, was hyped up by the company itself. And when it got released, rightfully so, the game got SLAMMED by a pretty sizeable portion of the gaming community (minus the ones that either didn't care or actually liked it as it was released - some called it a masterpiece of storytelling, lol).
Another thing, is that as a public figure (and we all know this) you always hold or should hold some responsibility and accountability, if deserved. This is like a 3rd hidden side of the coin discussion about gambling, NFTs, scams, etc: Do we all accept our own responsibility as individuals, or do people with a following have influence on our decisions?. You can't have both, and it's not neither either. It's either one or the other. If it's the first one, then we should all agree that scamming is bad, we don't like it but that's it. Anyone who got scammed or got into obsessive gambling was on their own decision and their own responsibility. If it's the second, we should say "Hey, kids watch streamers gamble, so they gamble and lose the money" just the same as "streamers and CCs did NOT put a halt into the game's hype".
Anyone reasonable enough, that had played the alpha in august 2020, or the latest beta before release, if honest, would've said "listen, this is kinda shit. Please fix it before release". But guess what, it's CONTENT. It lasted what, 2-3 months? And then Lost Ark came out. And whenever those cycles end, if there is nothing new, they will go for variety, maybe some drama (depending on each creator), reacting or fall back onto what they know be it speedruns of old games, WoW, FFXIV or whatever else.
I still agree with you on the fact that the company itself should've held it and cooked it for another year. We've all said that playing the alpha in 2020 and then the alpha/beta in 2021. But it got released anyway.

McConnell saying Riot has better communication was the biggest troll moment in the entire video lmao
I don't blame him, he hasn't played LoL for the past 5-7 years so he wouldn't know.
I agree with everything else he said. I think if a class feels good and everyone or most people are happy playing a class with their own spec or certain spec, don't change it. Change the others to make it equally fun and then WORK ON CONTENT. That's it. It's not EASY but it's SIMPLE. Simple steps that are hard to execute, that is all.
I disagree on the PvP thing. If you want fast paced things go play a BR with Doc or have a mode that is "hardcore" or whatever with reduced CDs and stuff, like (funnily enough) League of Legend has. But the PvP should be slow. Not THAT slow, but if the combat is fluid and fun as Asmon has said many times, taking 10 minutes for something shouldn't be boring. It means your team is not doing what they are supposed to. Either lack of damage or targeting the wrong people. It's an MMORPG, it's not a fast paced FPS shooter. As such, you go in, you start the fight... everyone knows, target the healer or at least assassins who have a lot of burst damage, kill the healer. If healer doesn't die and keeps healing, kudos for them! Also, tanks!? Hello? Peel for healers?. There's so much fun strategy to be had in PvP games that is sad you go in and kaboom people out of the game. How is that any fun? Especially if it's not because of mechanics but because of an RNG system that blows you up.
"Too much balance is boring, no one dies". That means the balance is not the problem but the fights and the systems previous to that. If it were truly balanced, you had 1 or 2 classes with a root or a CC, that's it. Then they should die. The problem is with the current state of the game, you need these blowup systems to make it fun again, aggravating the problem further.

Asmon has the base sentiment 100% correct. NO ONE consumes or buys things that are not fun, except Linux users who are masochists and decide to go the FOSS route and make the day harder for themselves. But I digress.
Queen is a fantastic band. Mercury was an insanely skilled and talented singer, almost unrivaled some would say. I don't like Queen, I don't listen to it. I recognize their quality and genius, but is not my thing. So up until here, Asmon has the most objective take so far and no one can deny that.
However, and here's the big however, these silly streamers and content creators (yes, all of you) mix debate points with a LOT of nuance and subjectivity into an argument like they are mixing cereal and milk. Let's go by the same example. I do NOT listen to Queen, because is not of my taste, but imagine I liked reggeaton or trap music (hypothetical, i don't) and I'd say "well, this is better and is all that matters because this is what is fun, look at everybody dancing to this! No one is dancing to Queen in comparison!" would be the most rot braindead take and a huge disservice to the last 150 years of music.
There is a partial truth and correct point about this, if we talk about MONEY alone, that the other 2 genres are the most popular and generate the most money (include pop like Ariana Grande there). But when you talk about the CRAFT, it's a whole different matter. And this is where the nuance variable of "trends and money" dictate the course and direction of the creative process.
Imagine back then the Greek and the rest said "nah man, fuck it. Not gonna waste my day building this insanely gorgeous massive chapel, who cares? Just put a couple of bricks there". And you can apply this to everything. At one point in time, we got CoD Black Ops, one of the best, at least top 3 in the franchise. And today we get MW3 and WZ3...
And the Marvel example is the same. "Shut up old man", says guy with cockroaches on his walls to Scorsese. Have some respect. The one you deserve for being you, to someone with a ton of knowledge and experience, and making masterpieces before anyone could just record themselves doing bullshit on tiktok with their iPhones. Ragnarok is a trash movie, it's just fucking crap. Infinity War, as a superhero movie, is one of the best in history, no discussion. But regardless of the quality of those movies, they follow a formula. Just like reggeaton. There is a reason why Marvel movies are appealing for the general public. It doesn't need to be "cinematic" and "existential". It's not Blade Runner. It's a different genre. It's the genre of popcorn and explosions. And in that sense, I AGREE! Don't call the movies bad, they just serve a different purpose. But to remotely think that the craft of it and the quality of making it 70% in front of a green screen is comparable to the rest, is just asinine.
It's just a different type of discussion, and this isn't even introducing the AI discussion. While FUN matters, remember Asmongold, that WoW used to be not only GOOD IN QUALITY but also super FUN, and part of the fun, was the quality, and part of the quality was how much FUN the game gave you. And now it's fucking garbage, like CoD. They took FUN out of it, and when you look at those projects, in comparison to say something like BG3, they are nothing burgers. They have no soul, no essence. No personality. They don't have human touch in them. No detail that you go "Oh my god, look at what I discovered! Insane the devs thought of this!". This is where your "discussion of the past 10 years" comes in, which I agree with you. We've had copy paste for a decade now, same with Korean ported MMOs that are so shit. They are somewhat fun, but the mechanics of RNG and p2w are also fun removers. The discussion here could be, the direction companies made the industry go, did they make people think that spending money and paying to win in a game is the new fun? Fun used to be what you had play the game however it was.
And to close this wall of text, one last remark on your point that again, is technically true. People choose, "the market". But then you think about how people might choose Apple products and they lack features and things but people don't complain. Or they might choose HP printers and then after being blocked from using it due to no ink on a cartridge you don't need, but also you can't buy something else that isn't HP, so on and so forth. People's choice (awards, ha!) are not always good, especially when it comes to masses. So while your point is true, is very simplistic. The market chooses to use TikTok and yet we know is pure garbage. But here we are.

Edit: Just leaving this here down below, but I put everything else on the survey.
"Last but not least, sadly for me, the value. While not open source maybe, I'll give an example. I paid Proton basic for months, for mail and calendar, and they take YEARS to make updates and adhere to what users upvote on the "suggestions/requests" forums. I had been asking and waiting for months for a different calendar widget view on Android. I'm no dev, idk how hard that is to make but c'mon, they're big, they sell on privacy, etc. and sell you their bundle with all the tools, etc. Their drive always worked super slow for me as well (free and paid), and the amount of storage was not much.

Supported browsers: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Chromium!
Us: So... chromium. Got it. 🤣
I have to say though, coming back to Firefox... I hope they start putting some coal into those engines and working on stuff because it feels underwhelming/lackluster on some parts. Also them officially saying "Here, use this addon!" is something that could detour me to go back to a Chromium based browser. But I'm trying not to since eventually I want to run Linux full time. (completely off topic from the video, I know).
On the terminal stuff, have you tried Nala to aid Apt on Debian? It's kinda neat.
Also, I am aware this shouldn't have to do with anything ever because like who cares, but I do want to mention I am glad I found your channel (megacorpo algorithm doing good things for once!) and there's not many women in this sphere. So I want to say kudos to you.
Overall it was a great fun video. Subbed :D
PS: It's not weird they require you to have a Google account. It's just shitty. Like Microsoft does now with Windows. All the crap and evil corpo maneuvers aside, for syncing settings, saving account data (to steal it from you later as well), etc. makes sense that you need an account on their platform to use their services. It's just something inconvenient for people like you (I say it as a fact, no diss).

I wish the doctor would make a video, on what tools to try to acquire to let go from prejudice and be able to be more tolerant.
Because as it stands, before I deleted my social media, I remember Pinker dancing with his wife because Biden got elected president (or maybe even more so, because Trump lost).
How can I trust someone who is supposed to be an academic, a very bright mind and "eminent cognitive psychologist" when acting not very differently than all the rest we talk about when discussing the social media (and in this case, Twitter) phenomenon? How can I trust them being as objective as possible and not skewed and biased towards whatever aligns best with their personal views, or worse, with whatever brings them more money if that is such the case? In my eyes, that is no different than the (female) judge here, who claimed (and surely still claims) to be a proponent of the feminist movement, while at the same time releasing criminals (mostly rapists) from jail, and sending them back to the house or near where they committed the crime, often times close to or in the same household as the victims on the pretext of "health and covid".
In a hypothetical and more silly example, imagine if we start seeing Dr Peterson like a hobo. Long beard, dirty, long hair, baggy clothes while he talks about being orderly. Something doesn't align.

It's crazy to me how some people will idolize politicians and still in 2021 defend and preach socialism and communism, with pandering, virtue signaling and claiming they have the higher moral ground while alienating you if you're more blunt or just think differently.
And then the other side thinking everything is a megaplan conspiracy and that people like Trump is some kind of holy benevolent god that will save them.
And that all of that, literally tears families apart. What a bunch of idiots. All of them. Both sides, every single one. And the saddest thing of all is that probably most of them, regardless of sides, suffered or are suffering through a great deal for whatever reason.
That is sad, but what is funny, is that within the circle of understanding of what they think, ironically, there is diversity. Sure, there are rapists pretending to be allies on feminism and there are surely racists playing for patriots on this shit, but regardless of the movement you can always see for the majority there's a great deal of diverse people. And it's just funny how they accuse each other when all they have to do is just look to the side and see they are not different.

Because things were shitty and I thought "oh I'm going to play a game to have FUN" but then you see people playing it the opposite/wrong way (By higher elo players/teams standards) and they make you lose the game, if not straight up troll you.
"I'm just playing for fun!" they say, but they are queuing in a ranked match where you would "expect in theory" they would do things the best they can to win, as a team. Worst thing in LoL for example, is you can't quit. They force you to stay in in-game jail wasting 20 to 40+ minutes of something that will be completely useless or without a good outcome.
Imagine going to a store, and the worker makes you wait 40 minutes there until resolving your issue, but that is every day, and every time you cannot leave the store or you lose your turn. How will you not be upset/mad about it? The third or fourth time, you will jump over the desk and fight them, lol.
I'm not saying it's correct, It's just what makes you upset. It's ironic however, because you're upset about the "loss of time" or waste of it rather, yet you are playing a video game for hours and hours. I just think it's more of the systems implemented by games that cause this rather than just the people "being toxic".
Same happens in mmo raiding. If I want to progress and try harder with better gear etc, I can't have 3 morons who like to play for fun and make us wipe all the time and they are ok with it because it's enough for them. And a lot of people don't admit or want to accept that they suck or they purposely make you waste your time without playing well. It's much easier to say everyone and everything is toxic and negative, and so you "tilt" or can't focus because of the negativity. Lies. That just tells me you never played a sport as a kid.

I mean Louis, you are totally right. But this is slightly a bit "too much". Like they are a company that make their money selling stuff and pushing their services (otherwise their OS would be clean and awesome! And not have duplicated everything!), while also being one of the ones with the "monopoly" (with quotes, technically is not a monopoly but you get the idea) on the phone market.
This thing about "web page placement of things", I'm not saying is RIGHT I'm just saying I doubt that someone who just broke their phone and go to their page to search for "repair" will suddenly forget what they were doing like a cat with ADHD and suddenly have this urge of buying a new one. I do believe this is a non-issue other than "you're shitty for doing this and it kinda sucks".
Also, MrWhosTheBoss made a comparison on the repair service (as a whole) between Samsung and Apple (this was UK perhaps it changes for the US), and showed that Samsung's while a lot cheaper, it was a lot less straightforward and sometimes even scary on the fact that they didn't even know for sure where your 1500 dollars phone was. I'd say that is a much bigger issue than having to scroll twice on a page.
However, I do agree that it is informative and unfortunate. (one of the best quotes I've heard in my life, I swear).
PS: As someone from South America, with less availability and options (plus the economy stuff) I could understand a portion of their intentions. We know they're shitty but they would say something like "We're offering a trade-in value for your old phone, so you get a new one with a discount!". It's not worth it after 1 year, I agree. But say it's been 3 or 4 years and it breaks, a lot of people would like to jump to the newer generation. I've never had top of the line phones, and yet going from a J5 Prime to an A22 (both mid to low range I think) was quite the difference, even if I, much like you, don't care much about processing power for stupid bs in social media. But I do care that in my new phone I could use google drive for work without much issue or waiting times.
Does this excuse what they did? Not really. But like I said, if someone goes there to repair and might not know about the trade-in option, instead of buying a "new phone full price" in a while or right at that moment, now they have this discount option which would be more appealing (and after all, they're there to sell phones).

It was one of the best hours in my life on youtube, thank you so much. It was a bit repetitive, but can't blame you, happens to me as well. Maybe not 1 hr but 45 minutes.
It was also understandable since it was a REDO of the original which was corrupted.
I had already stopped watching and deleted my account from LTT forums ever since the GN video in 23. Not because I believe GN/Steve holds the truth alone and Linus was bad or the company in general, but because I felt disappointed as a viewer of such a big channel, with huge projects like LABS to be so sloppy. Also it had been a while they started making those intros to cut for tiktok which I hated since I am not 11 years old.
What puts the nail in the coffin for me for Linus Sebastian himself, is the fact he had communications since 2021 on Steve's new phone. As a "tech savvy" dude that has been doing this for 20 years... imagine: NOT knowing the correct phone number of the person you want to text with whom you've been texting for TWO YEARS already (on said new number). It could've been confusion, sure, happens to all of us. But also imagine not being keen or attentive enough to see there was nothing else in that communications thread. It's like too many faulty steps to attribute that to ignorance.
And then, while nothing is something so solid that you can point out "this is it", it's the whole rest of things. Having up to TWO sponsors per video, not vetting well those sponsors, the Billet situation, the fact that Colton said in forums "ah yes, honey bad, we stopped. Now we work with [honey2.0]". Then they didn't want to give comment to MegaLab for their investigation. TO BE CLEAR, THEY DECLINED THE RIGHT TO COMMENT THAT MEGALAB WAS GIVING, so then Linus cries about Steve not giving them a chance...
There is so much slop over the place, that you can't think that everyone there in a 100+ employees company just happens to be stupid. If your receptionist is stupid, at some point, that gets to their supervisor, and then goes up the chain. Clearly it's either on purpose or they are, actually, that fucking stupid all the way up to the CEO (Linus, not the new fall guy).
And it's disappointing that one of the most relatable dudes out there became this, whatever this is. And no, I don't mean I related to him for watercooling my pool... but the nerd sentiment within, being excited for a new GPU... you know, the typical. Also, back then (before the tiktok intros), videos were wacky and entertaining but also informative. At the end of the video you did learn or confirm something (besides "yes, this was so stupid lol"). And if you wanted more in depth longer stuff, you'd go to other channels.

I remember watching a channel of certain very skilled pole dancer. And during Q&As, one of the questions she got often was: Why do you dress all pink, sparkly, wear wings, fake nails, fake lashes and a lot of makeup? (also adding with why did you get a boob job), to which she replied (general idea) saying that she knew that wasn't "her natural self", but the way that to her own eyes she felt the happiest, fullest and liked it that way.
This means the person was totally conscious about it. If you go out your way to put all those sparkly things and make up, and wigs, and clothes... it means you don't like your "natural self". That means you don't love yourself as you are, but what you make yourself to be. Liking it is totally fine. You do you. But these people telling others about self love, acceptance and inclusivity it just doesn't make sense. It's contradictory.

Maybe it's just me, but if I had to go by how language works, even if it's English (2nd for me as well), no one who is a racist reacts to a racist post with doubt if the other person is racist. The consciousness and acknowledgment of such thing already tells you that Prosident wasn't in favor it, or at least not explicitly.
"I'm not sure if you're racist or..." if they both were, they'd be high fiving each other.
And the Discord idea is fantastic. If you're in the council, and there's a community you can represent, it's like in high school where you represent the class and teachers or superiors speak to you, instead of speaking to 40 students all at once.
And a Blizzard council is just as useless as anything else, like in democracy. "We want all voices", they say, but then 7 out of 10 push in the same direction, then 3 voices are always left out and marginalized. And sadly it is not objective because their opinions/ideas are bad. They are just "wrong" because they are not the same opinion.

"They delayed the game one year"
YES, BECAUSE WE TOLD THEM TO. That 29th of August release in 2020 (20th, 29th, something like that, it was August) was supposed to be the launch. Let's NOT forget they were planning to release the game a year before of what it got released, and when it did, as you mentioned, it still had a lot of fucking problems you complained in beta.
So basically, a year before or a year later, they were going to release unfinished shit. Does that mean that I want devs and the team(s) to work 12 hours a day? No, they are not doctors (lol) and I wouldn't want them to miss holidays and such with their families. But at the same time let's not give a free pass to upper mgment / leads. Someone made these decisions, and all these problems are their fault, not the devs being worked to the bone.

For someone who always speaks about "doing what he wants", you're always pretty lax about the rulings that social media and main content platforms make that perhaps don't seem like a "big deal" in the beginning but later on have a cascading effect onto bigger things.
Is not about "if you're a hammer"... - You gave the example with Twitch. You know better than any of us that, for example, to select different streaming qualities, you need to reach a certain threshold. Well, isn't that an easy thing to do for YouTube? In fact, isn't that a thing already? I could be wrong.
Just make it so channels with idk, 50k subs or less cannot stream, period. You can then check for activity and videos uploaded to prevent sub count botting to be able to stream. This way, all the streams that happen will have some form of genuine activity or another.
They instead of setting a threshold to be able to stream to a community, they are just preventing Phil the Trucker to stream that ONE TIME from the rally he attended to show people what it's like.
IT'S VERY SUBTLE. I don't blame Asmon for "defending" YT stance. In fact, I almost fell too and Asmon's reasoning is on point but thank god, and I can't believe I am saying this, for the comments here on YouTube bringing up more points.
And Asmon is also right, we don't trust YouTube. I never will, they are a trendy company like all the rest of media platforms, with stupid changes that everyone hates and nobody wants and they even strike or ban channels without giving actual evidence or reasoning why, and that is why they are on legal disputes in court. Instead of the articles you should go through Crowder's streams on YouTube bans and strikes (and Facebook) and try to explain the semantics YouTube gave as reasons for the strikes.
I think Hasan is an idiot but at least I respect him for going balls deep into everything, regardless of his ideals or side. You always dip your toes in and then get out, which I understand and I more often than not agree with a lot of things you say, other times you even change my point of view, but other times you miss the mark hard because you give your view as the only way. I know you're not like this so I'm not blaming or trying to make you feel bad about it, just pointing it out. Either get in hard, or do the Tyler1 - Never discuss politics, religion or soccer. Very effective strat.

Just say it Sydney. You want to play Hogwarts Legacy and be a powerful witch! Nothing wrong with that :P
On a more serious note, I stepped back from social media and especially the politics side of things a while ago and it was just eye opening.
Like fun stuff, now steven crowder is on a feud with babylon bee/Daily wire it seems? Also Jordan Peterson non-stop keeps posting right-wing tailored content. It almost feels fake/without any thought. I don't mind the lean, I lean right more than left overall, but one of his things was being the outlier. You would listen to the left, then some on the right and then you would listen to Peterson. And now I can't anymore, I can't take it seriously.
You are one of the few, if not the ONLY ONE that I kept my sub and bell on because your content was always funny yet serious and thought provoking and it wasn't biased for the most part (you do have a freedom/right bias, but when you present the evidence is kinda obvious and you are not closed to listen to GOOD arguments from the other side).
In general you are correct, you get burnt out of it. Every day is something new and everything all the time is a problem. That's why I stuck with certain youtubers. KiraTV (on his main channel) does wonderful recaps of stories that might be of interest. Penguinz0 (Charlie) has a very wacky way and a very extense vocabulary to make 10 minute videos of bs that are just entertaining to watch. Mogul Mail (Ludwig) is just a general good unbiased (for the most part) recap and news of things in different spaces. And the last one, making 1 video a year: Internet Historian. It's just fun entertaining storytelling about stories that you would never really care about. But they make it interesting and fun. I don't know what you're planning to do, but I feel that would be a type of direction that would really suit you. And my best advice, although is very hard, whenever there is something "left like", just say yes, accept it and go back to the main point why you're there.
Best of luck!

Hopefully they do die, so they can move on and focus onto other products :D. Everyone's gonna bash at me now for my opinion if they put one to a good use, but the reality is as MK said, we didn't need it and if it never existed no one would argue if it's useful or not. It was just a bigger phone not to be used as a phone, usually without phone service, but usually also without keyboard to be a laptop... meh. "Light gaming, web browsing..." you can do that with a small, cheap not so powerful laptop and you also get keyboard and probably Windows, which allows you later on to wider options. For the carrying, if it's not a big heavy laptop you're probably gonna carry it around in a bag... same with the tablet. You're gonna go with it on your hand, and if that were the case they are both equally uncomfortable to do that XD

I KID YOU NOT and I say this honestly, very very sad, a girl, an actual victim of abuse came on the news yesterday or the day before, they were doing a note with her and her right side of the face on the cheekbone zone was all black and her eye was black inside. The white part of the eye, was black. That's how bad it was. Her coworkers rescued her (the guy had kidnapped her or something).
I honestly wish Amber Heard went to jail if she loses the trial for lying, wasting people's time, resources, money, making him lose jobs and public perception being horrible, etc. Like sure, now everyone kinda sees through her, but the start of these things always are the biggest hits.
Look at Kevin Spacey, the guy disappeared off the face of the earth after someone "came out bravely" 30 years later about his alleged abuse. I'm not saying it didn't happen, maybe it happened all the way through but as far as I know, there was no 15 days trial or investigation or anything. He was just cut from all the projects, Frank Underwood died and he was just simply gone.
And the worst of all, she's giving a reason for abusers and non-believes to shield themselves from any responsibility or accountability with the justification that they (women) lie and are overdramatic. Literally the worst thing for women right now is her.

Argentinian here:
Asmon, for "feminism" and to stop "female violence and murders" they painted a bench red/pink.
Argentina is as fucked with left progressiveness as US, the only problem is we've been under corrupt socialist management for about 20 years (latest 20 years, strongest) or more. So our economy is minuscule compared to the US. Even compared to Brazil, in some extent. For context we have roughly 50-55% of the population in poverty levels.
Also, fun, VERY fun since we're here, our president just RESIGNED to his retirement benefits as a president, meanwhile congress people raised their salaries. And the ex-vicepresident (former president for 2 terms) is earning roughly 15 million (pesos) in retirement benefits.
Mean salary is around 300-400k :) But hey... you wouldn't want to be discriminatory, homophobic or misogynistic, would you!?
Also, lol, why did you think of our country? 🤣

React content creator is upset people not subbed are stealing from him.
Not me though, I am a good boy and I priate his react content on youtube with adblocker on. :)
Edit: I was re-watching the "Long long man" commercial compilation, and one comment said: "If Ads were like this, I would watch without adblock". Wholeheartedly agree with that statement.
Make ads enticing to watch or let creators put their ads inside the videos, like Internet Historian does. It's 2 minutes of NORDVPN, yet a very compelling story to watch.
Edit#2: I never see this as a good argument when Asmon speaks about "cultural barriers" because of language, HOWEVER, this is an exact example that fits the case: Francesco Bruno, if I have to assume by his name, is either Hispanic (Spain or SA) or Italian. FREE in English means 2 things:
1- Free regarding liberty, freedom.
2- Free of price, you don't pay.
In Spanish and if my HS Italian servers me good, perhaps too in Portuguese, we have 2 different words. "Free" as liberty is "Libre" (Like FOSS - think LIBREOffice). And "Free" of not paying is "gratis" - Free of charge.
This is a common problem with people not being aware of this that "free" in English does not necessarily mean "free of charge". Netflix is free. Some content IN Netflix, is not. (this is where I would put my nordvpn in my video if I had one). But almost anyone in the world can subscribe and watch Netflix; but not "for free".

How is this even a debate? It's easy. Casual is someone who logs on to do some stuff in the game and then logs out or plays for a little bit of time and then is out. Hardcore is someone who plays the entirety of the game, usually for longer periods of time.
Now, within the game, and not as a whole, you can be a "casual player" but a "hardcore raider" or "hardcore PvPer". If the game allows you to play only the thing of your preference, you won't play nor do the other things.
Same thing for using LFD/LFR and doing some quests and that's it. Like you enjoy playing the game at its basic/lower level. You don't grind x dung/raid for hours or x amount of times for a drop, you don't do it for achievement, you don't do achievement completion, you don't spend hours practicing/learning and gearing for highest end level of raiding; you don't learn rotations and all the shit for utmost exemplary PvP fights... you're a casual. And that is ok.
If you're new to a game, or a game is new, you're a casual. You will be hardcore at some point, maybe, but you are not right now. And speedrunning the game to max level and last pve content does not make you hardcore either, as a whole.

You can make a 10 dollar or 1000 dollars phone but why do you have to name it so badly? Just call it the Infinix 1. Or the Infinix Note, and then the 2 and so on and forth. Why is it the Note. Where's the normal one? Why's the 8th? Where are the other 7?
Great work though! Looks interesting. I'd change the camera stuff. If I pay 200 bucks for the phone, you are right, you are clearly knowingly going into a 'budget' phone. You don't care much about the cameras and you don't care much about the screen. Maybe if you do, it's what you can afford, so either way you won't be picky in that regard and you'll try to make it work. So, cut cost on all the other cameras, go Pixel route. Leave only 1 that is decent and that's it. People who buy this phone are not going to create content at night shooting it with the phone daily.
I know this because I went from a Sony Xperia ZL (used and it aged really badly) to a J5 Prime, which I still use. It takes... nice pics overall with great lighting. Like for social media and stuff is more than ok. So that's where your aim should be at. Doing what you can well instead of resembling expensive things.
Also you didn't mention the specs, I think? Maybe you weren't allowed to, but it's weird. Just for the sake of knowing.
The most impressive to me, when they do it are screen and camera when they are cheap. Battery life is kind of a cheating feature because if it's a cheap phone with low res screen and low consumption chip and a big battery, it'll last (generally speaking). Some more expensive phones still have "ok" battery life. So not even those do it great.

People never mention swtor lol
I'd say WoW would do better initially. WoW is very "friendly" for users in the first place, and the questing throughout the expansions is quite great, except for the fact that no one is there anymore.
In the case of FFXIV, the questing and leveling in AR:R is kinda bad and even if it's excellent later on in other expansions, as an "initial hook" it wouldn't be better. And I mean, try to think about it as a new player in a new MMO. So much content to go through, and it's great content, and you go through it you basically go through Illidan, Lich King and then Cata again. It's super good. I can't speak for FFXIV since I don't know the whole story with all the expansions, perhaps it's the same, but we already know the questing experience in AR:R isn't great and compared to wow it sucks. (Objectively, Yes I know they were rebuilding the game and didn't have the money and...). Perhaps the aesthetics, catgirls amongst other things would drive people in like the jobs being available on 1 character and considering the systems. But the thing is you wouldn't know about the systems because they would be new mmo's unless they put it as a feature and selling point.
Another barrier would be SE. Josh said "if they released today as they are now", which means, you wanna buy the fucking game and you can't or it's super confusing. At that point, for the same money, you're already playing wow.
The problem with wow is not the "was", it's the "is". WoW is shit right now. And Legion was really good, I played 2 months back in MoP, leveled up to 86 only. I never liked WoW. But during Legion I played a lot for like 4 months and reached low end raiding. And I think I did that after the patches fixing things. The "funny" thing is, they've turned to this because they are catering (and/or pandering) to a certain type of players, while at the same time ruining themselves by not doing what most of other players want. So technically they "are" giving players what they want. It's just SHIT. Not everyone wants good things all the time. They just need to go back and do what they used to: Listen to players and then put their take on it. But not do their take, and then sprinkle some stuff that players want, specially after 6 months or a year.

You apologize for your normal-looking hair, but not for the cracked phone screen :P
My parents got divorced since I was 2 years old. It's so fucking stupid how parents don't give 2 shits about their children in reality, they just care about winning that 'argument' and prove who's the "best most caring parent" even if during all of that hassle they show the entire opposite. There's also plenty of moms who, for different reasons, decide to exclude the parent from the child's life or their life entirely. My best friend has done this. In general I think is wrong, but in this situation her ex (and child's father) is a psycho. So depending on the situation it's understandable (she even has a legal restriction doc. she carries with her, but we all know paper can't defend you in a bad situation).
In general I think child support is ok. Not the system, the idea. We know 'accidents happen' but majority of people do accidents on purpose due to negligence. This is sort of a way to punish the lack of responsibility, generally speaking. Of course lots of tricky situation show up. In my opinion they should set a standard of earnings (min. threshold) to make someone pay for a child (or children). Because if someone has a low income, and you take away some of that, that person is going to have less and the other person is not going to have enough, so it's stupid for everybody. Then, check (not control) from time to time or if the child custodian party asks them to, if the parent who has to pay CS actually lives the way they say they earn the money. You know, to avoid document tampering or whatever. And then last but not least, they should make it MANDATORY for the custodian parent to have, every month, a public (between parties and maybe the entity regulating all this) showing of money extraction from account and the expenses.
Parents can agree or disagree some things are good or bad for the kids, but if you're divorced or separated and paying child support, as long as the expenses are for the child (or children) it should be good. Now, this should be looked into as well. If children have trouble going to school or eating or whatever, buying an expensive pair of shoes is not needed. People are shit man.

My care cup is also empty from care. Filled with no, not beer, fernet (pronounced fer-net). Yours will too if you ever know what that is. With coke! I mean Coca-Cola... not powder. Just because I'm South American doesn't mean I'm into that. I'm not Colombian.
And at this point I don't care anymore at all. You can't reason with these people. Other people you could reason with sometimes get sucked into it and start believing it too (which they then cut family and friendship ties, some even get divorced and whatnot). If you're white (caucasian, you don't even have to be "white" as in son of 2 irish green eyed parents - I stayed inside for years losing my natural tan and now I'm part of the supremacists group 🤡 ) because you're white, if you're a man becuase you're a man. If you're a woman and you aren't selling pictures of your crotch for your own "empowerment" nor supporting the BLM/Feminist movement, you're horrible too. Give me a break.
Like it's funny to me thinking of saying "I love being a white supremacist" just to watch them go insane and you just lean back, grab the blanket and drink while watch it unfold. Specially to give them a true reason (even if you aren't one and don't believe in it) for calling you these things.
The solution is simple. Ignore it. Teach your kids to think straight and act and pretend to get over with school. If you are surrounded by these people, just say hello, goodbye and that's it. If you have people around you that know that you're you know, normal and don't wanna fuck with anyone, they'll stand up for you. Any color, any class, any religion. I've met people of all backgrounds and stories and sometimes, poor people are the most based ever. They just wanna do their thing, don't fuck around, etc. Like they're not fools as they're portrayed to be. They are very wide awake. They won't stop pushing these narratives, so just let them be. Only defend yourself when it's needed. But that's how you maintain your side. You talk to people that are sane or willing to be honest about things (even if you disagree with them!), and then you teach your little siblings or children how things are and why they are that way, so they know they're being fed bs and that's it.

Today is a different day, I will watch your video first.
SUCK IT, STEVE!
/s
Edit: Jokes aside, I DO care about efficiency. Now, there's nuance to this. You say "read the comments" but that could be a vocal group, or people on "YOUR" side. First point. Second point, I agree with you, I don't give a dang about efficiency if it means piss poor performance. However, and we should give credit to AMD that it seems they kinda knew/saw this, needing 40% more power for 10% more performance is... stupid. So if you told me, chip A and chip B have the same performance, but chip B needs less power, I'll take B. It means components and materials will last (unlike certain blue chips lately, cough cough), it means a reduction in energy/electricity usage, it means less heat as well, meaning you don't need a 3050304 KM AIO to cool it which in turn means you can fit that component in cheaper/smaller cases and/or not spend so much money on the cooling part because something "mid" will do just fine.
I personally also don't care about a +/- 5% performance. 10+ is something that I could say ok, yes, that is noticeable or could be noticeable. But less than that is like generally the same. So again, if being "efficient" means your chip sucks, then no thanks, give me the power. But if giving me the power means my 700 dollar chip is going to degrade and explode in 2 years... then no fucking way.
So all in all I like the push for more efficiency. Yes, you can go to MicroCenter and buy all the parts cheap. Or thanks to Arctic get an AIO for 60 dollars. That's great for you, but a lot of us outside of MicroCenter area or more so, outside of the US or places with availability, this makes the part much more valuable.
We don't get different CPUs than you, but we do get different pricing and availability on those chips AND everything else. So basically for a simple comparison, let's say is not the same to say that you have a 14900KS cooled by a 70 dollar great AIO that you can get, vs me who can get the same but I'd have to pay say 160 dollars for that AIO. And that is a top high end super hot chip, of course that trickles down and it can be applied to everything else. PSUs, cases, fans, cables, etc.

Is this the same CEO trying to push NFT ideas one or two years ago? He is a complete dickhead.
However, I don't entirely agree with you on this one, Louis. I agree with the sentiment, core idea. The basis of it. But as something "against ubi" as a specific argument is pretty flat because this is not the first (nor the last) time this happened and they are not the only ones. I'm not saying it's ok to do it since everyone does it, I'm saying because everyone does it... are you going to tell people to literally stop playing any "somewhat popular non-single-player" videogame out there? It's not realistic.
Also, the game was tied to online from the get-go. From its conception the idea of the game is trash because of that exact fact. Maybe people who bought it and now can't play it learnt their lesson (hopefully) of not buying a game that is only tied to online servers in the future. I'd bet some did, but most didn't and they will get upset they can't play TC today, and buy TC40 tomorrow.
Not defending Crappysoft on this one, but also the playerbase for that game was already low compared to anything else so it makes sense to be a cuck and shutdown the servers for this game if the costs of maintaining it are higher than the earnings. And we all know these shitty companies are NOT going to release these "dead games" ips/code for people to mod/open private servers so they can keep playing them.
The last thing is, and this is not to blame the customer, did they know it was tied to online stuff? Or does the game have some sort of "single player" so the players thought they could still play it offline? I remember trying to play the game for 20 minutes before uninstalling (got it for free on their platform) because I got stuck with a truck or something. Idk, I can't remember but I remember a shitty experience, I got bored and removed it. The thing is when buying for this game and subsequently buying The Crew 2, did players know about this? Because if they did, is not like they deserved to be screwed over, it never is, but at some point some responsibility needs to happen.
And this is an issue that is disguised, because a lot of games are tied online for "account backup", and "save your progress" instead of letting me use my 64MB Memory Card. And also cross-platform stuff, and the excuse of co-op/multiplayer.
I'm only interested in one IP by them, but that has died over years as well and turned into mobile hype, The Division. That is not enough for me to support such shit company. But at some point, if that isn't today already, all the other companies are going to do the same and any game we have a "choice of choosing" won't be a real choice at all.

If Twitch is streaming the show, how can it be DMCA if you stream the show on their own platform lol
1- Metal Slug: Waste of time. Same graphics and as an RTS instead of the action packed mayhem that it was. That is what was so GOOD about the game. Blowing shit up. Not taking turns. I thought it was going to be a revamped, new gen graphics RTS. Like something based of it. Not the same but RTS. The trailer like Cowboy Bebop was great.
2- DS: eh
3- JP: Evo 2 - this is really cool for people who like that type of game and that universe. Having actors presenting it though, I'm tired of that nonsense. It's cringe.
4- Lost Ark: Fuck amazon and their region block. Dogshit ass company. Cancelled games, shit releases and ruining games before they come out. And they got rap in the trailer again. Stupid overpaid production Andys.

"What are you going to do about it? To stop Blizzard from doing it?"
Well, if it's for MONEY, if you quit the fucking game alongside other big creators and all their following, at least for a month or 2 to make a statement, they will probably won't do it.
How is this not market logic 101? When you're getting fucked over your phone carrier, if others offer you same good deal but cheaper, you move carriers. You don't always buy the most expensive house, car or clothes. You don't always go to the most overpriced grocery store. You don't always buy the most overpriced products, unless you're an Apple moron. The same applies here. Just quit paying them the money.
But you can't, because you're addicted and that is the actual truth. Just like spastic kids playing BDO nonstop even saying "RNG is a great mechanic and the fact you can't ever get the best items is good, it keeps you going", same for people who can't quit WoW to make a statement.
And honestly, I am both sad and envious about it. Sad because it is fucking sad, just quit the fucking stupid ass trash game this has become under the management of a company that went down for the past 5+ years. And envious because you can't quit because this is a thing you LOVE playing. And that is fucking amazing. Many of us wish to have something we love that much. Although I don't know if I would want to have to this extent where WoW turns into a toxic ex girlfriend.

I've found 600W to 700W is the sweetspot for PSUs for the majority of use cases. Lower than that is probably cheap PSUs for office computers that don't need anything other than a processor with integrated graphics. Higher than that you get into the zone of actually speccing your build and kind of (hopefully) know what you're doing and having a purpose.
If you do a RAM video, can I suggest split it into 2 major parts? Noob friendly vs JayZ Nerd Corner.
I would say MOST if not all of us are going to be interested in you teaching us the ins-and-outs of the RAM theorycrafting, but I've found myself plenty of times knowing stuff that are literally useless for the regular every day Jimmy. Even if they game, even if they care about "playing at X amount of fps" they don't care nor understand the tiniest of details. Which made me think that knowing all these things is always good, especially if you're going for a very specific thing you want to do/build, but otherwise is just a lot of noise that doesn't matter much in the end and is not representative of MOST every day use cases. In plain, out of 100 people that build or buy a PC, how many of them will know/understand about "binary ram" or the single/double side or even the CLs. Even people that call themselves technicians or do minor repairs don't even know about these things.
So it would be nice to have a 2-3 minutes segment tops where you say the overall differences, and what is the "best RAM scenario" and what to buy in case anyone would go for that as a general rule that provides maybe the best bang for buck, and then go over your nerdy corner and explain everything else for those of us that care even if we won't/can't buy it.
Myself as an example, I have 2666mhz DDR4 HyperX Fury RAM. I do have 16gbs. Could I have better, faster and tighter RAM sticks? Sure, maybe. But I feel if I upgraded my GPU, my experience would be more than enough with this computer without changing or upgrading RAM nor CPU. And I feel for most people, depending on if they're on 1080p or 1440p maybe, the situation is generally the same.

I disagree. I mean, I do agree, but I disagree. Pick up lines do work, but you have to "make your own lines". If you use one of these candy wrap pick up lines, you're basically an idiot. And if "it works" is not the line, is the fact you're an idiot that the girl thinks is cute. Like you made her laugh by making a fool out of yourself.
But if you engage in NORMAL conversation, and after a while you come up with something somewhat witty, related to what has been said already, that goes a mile if she has a sense of humor. But don't think for a second you're this comedic genius or that the line is like super strong in power. No no, you always have to be conscious that it's for fun. Mixing these together has the best results.
That's the formula if you don't look like Charlie, of course.

As EU folks have said, here in South America happens the same with WhatsApp. And you talked about India and businesses.
Here, carrier plans literally have 1 or 2 GB a month for YouTube and TikTok (besides the GBs of the month) but also has "unlimited free whatsapp" which means, even if you run out of data, you can still use whatsapp. Google's "messages" is as far as I know, not through internet, is not pushed with marketing/data plans and worst of all, companies like Samsung have their own shit on top of Google's shit. So you have 2 browsers, 2 messages apps etc - all to end up installing a 3rd browser which you use on the computer and a 3rd/4th app for messaging (whatsapp, telegram). And that's because of availability, pricing and the "culture" around Android. iPhone is super popular in the US and maybe some other country, but the rest of the world runs on Android (stock) or a fork of it, on which companies on top put their own spin on it. That is the blessing and the curse of Android. A much more versatile, diverse, open system - but also not a very integrated one.
In fact, for us, SMS are GARBAGE. Literally, all we get through "messages" are promos and scams, lol. Because everyone and their mother uses WhatsApp. It's so ingrained, that when whatsapp goes down, everyone defaults to Telegram or even Twitter. They don't even think of SMS. SMS/MMS have been deleted from our minds.

It's not just because it's political. It's because of HOW it's done, more than anything. A lot of these people DON'T CARE about any of these topics. Not "don't care" as in, they want to censor them. "Don't care" as in, either way it's fine, it's whatever, as long as it's done well.
For as much critiques and shit I can give Cyberpunk 2077, they did the trans topic SO subtle, yet it was so powerful. It was a story of love and acceptance, about someone who changed and then found someone who accepted them for whom they were. In the meantime you get to run around shooting guns in a truck, so that made it a bit fun as well. But the overall story, you were like "Oh...". But it wasn't "Oh, fuck...". The character (Claire), just wanted a place to belong, they found it with someone else who then later got taken away, and so she was fighting for it. Now, I am not trans. I don't know if this portrayal is like 100% good or not. But in the form of visibility and bringing the topic up, as well as connecting it to accepting yourself, belonging and falling in love, I thought it was pleasantly done. The character is AMAZING. Aside from the transgender thing, she's a fun character as pretty much the majority of characters in that game.
The thing is, the character in the story was trans. Not the story, wanting to go through the "trend" topics through a character, if that makes sense. The most recent example is Matrix 4. Never we've seen Trinity have Neo powers, at all. But they had a connection and Trinity in their own right was BADASS AS FUCK. Unless you were Neo himself or an Agent, she was going to fuck you up, 2 times around and one extra more. She kicked ass, she was smart, she was capable, she was skilled and she was hot too, let's be honest.
But now, all of a sudden she happens to be the real "One", and Neo is just a bum who plays the laughing stock. If the story from the beginning had even a glimpse around both powers uniting or something, then it would've made much more sense. Another terrible example was The Last of Us 2. They were like "Who's Joel? The main character in the first game and everyone loved him? Nah, let's just kill him right away who cares?".
Superheroes and such too. Instead of creating a new superhero who is a black woman, they change a hero who was a white guy into a black woman. It just doesn't make sense. And the worst part are the double standards; Imagine if you changed every character to "hegemonic strong white males". Everyone would lose their shit.
The main problem with these things are not the topics themselves, it's how they are portrayed/presented/executed into games and movies nowadays, and the people who make them who pander to that shit to keep in control/power making all those people believe they're in it for the cause.

Some people are tribal and annoying (or even aggressive/disrespectful) about it but at the end of the day, they do have a point from heart.
If you keep using Ubuntu, Canonical keeps existing. They keep adding Amazon stuff to it and/or snaps, which we all (or most of us) dislike. They keep driving things forward that are not really that great. And it would take a while for "normal people" if Linux got popular, to realize or even care since by nature, Linux already is not on your face all the time unlike Windows.
But if people were logical and spoke up whenever something's bad, they would not have to be using Linux in the first place, because Windows would be "good". Does what I'm trying to say make sense?
I'm not a Linux expert by any means, but if you're going to use Debian based, go with something simpler, if you do that and you go Ubuntu based sort of speak, why not go Mint directly? Imagine everyone coming to Linux using Ubuntu, and then it gets so popular it starts getting monetized with ads baked in just like Windows... "Linux" will have that image for majority of people regardless of how many distros you have or whatever.

You know, I have a tendency to pre-judge based on political views if I know how the creator thinks or where they lean. It's bad, and I always try to go past it and not let it cloud my judgment. But you are one of those people I follow that I really do not know nor care where you lean. For the most part almost every time I hear something from you is based on critical thinking and common sense. Like not once I thought "Oh this guy is lobbying for X or Y". You actually always talk in favor of freedom, people and their rights to not get fucked by companies. That's enough for me to care about what you might have to say. That on top of the fact that you're an experienced... engineer? and business owner. That counts too. And cats. Good strategy.
I want to make an addition to my comment but not related to the point above: Someone down there said "I don't understand why people are so willing to be owned by the corporations". People DON'T want this. I'll give an example of every day real life principles: Most people do not like it when you tell them truths that are abrasive, personal or touch a "nerve" or something they might be upset about. It happens to all of us. Some of us have grown and matured and learned enough to take the hit and think of it 5 seconds later and accept that might be something we need to work on and improve. But a lot of people can't, especially nowadays, they take a lot of things personal and mix it with what they believe.
For this thing in particular, I don't believe people WANT or LIKE to be "owned" / "effed" by companies, but they get CONVINCED (lies) on why they AREN'T and how things are convenient for them. On top of that, situations in life and companies shape the environment for this to succeed as a "chipped bit by bit" type of thing rather than a big swift strike. I will extend this with a real life example to make my point.
My country has a devastated economy thanks to the past 20 years of governments, who basically did this. I live in a rural/countryside area. There is only ONE WAY to have internet service, by a company called Internet Services. This company seems to provide internet across the country SPECIFICALLY to rural areas where the cable infrastructure is non existent. This sounds great... on paper. They have virtually the monopoly on these areas. There is no competition and there is also no infrastructure done by government NOR PRIVATES. This means there is no incentive at all to provide a better service, care for the consistency of the currently provided one or have a competitive pricing. With the new elected government, apparently there's been talk with Elon and Starlink is speeding up the work to be available. Subject to change, but in theory everything goes well we might be able to have Starlink service by the 2nd trimester of next year. This is the premise, now imagine the company we have now (We have 10mb - this means downloads of 1 Mb/s max -connection by the way, over the air by antennas - It's... something) scared of the competition and bigger company from outside starts sending their current customers (meaning us) "contract notices" or some BS like that, asking people to "stay with them for next year" and locking them down into contract with them. For the sake of the argument, I know this is completely outrageous but let's pretend they say "Hey, sign this contract for next year service or we'll cut you off". This would mean we either get stuck with them, paying their rates with their service quality OR we give up internet connection completely up until Starlink is available (which is not know exactly when). So with this you can totally imagine some people that are not very savvy, would sign in on it. I know the example is a bit unreal, but I don't feel is at its core, any different than car companies "slowly taking away your things and putting them behind a paywall, excusing themselves later about the costs of manufacturing and service maintenance, trying to justify their bullshit". By the time people realize what's happening, both the companies and the system that regulates things (meaning governements) have already cut out the work and done it! This is why in 2023 people still buy Apple products without much hesitation or complaints. Or why we all still use Windows and pay for it. Adobe. Automakers. John deer. I don't need to tell you the list, Louis. You are much more of an expert fighting corrupt government/lobbyists than me (fuck NYC!).
So thanks to you in the past months I've learnt not to blame the victim when someone else does something nefarious. Yes we can criticize and tell these people to "learn for next time and be careful" but we should totally be pointing things out to the ones that do it. In conclusion, I feel this take of "people like to be fucked by companies" is basically saying "Lol, society is so dumb. How can you be so dumb, society? Can't you see? Well if you can't see it, might as well let it happen to you, dummy". And it's an indirect justification to all these SoBs like the psychology professionals that make gacha games saying "oh is not you the ones that are wrong, is the people that can't realize your bs".
Last, I agree with you and this video. I also am not the biggest fan of Elon Musk. But sometimes he feels like a necessary evil to have around. It's the joker card that you can use to turn it into a "enemy of my enemy...". Like people saying "they're not going to do this and that" are clearly oblivious to the last 10 years of human history and how things have shaped up, lol. That's it, thanks for the space. I Wish you very happy holidays Louis, and cannot wait for your January video saying NYC sent you a fine for enjoying Christmas.

40K a day. 280K a week. That is 1.120.000 dollars a month. (Points because I'm not from US).
We don't actually know how "distant" in the future Westworld is set to. It could be 2019, just a way more advanced society than ours today. That's the magic of filmmaking and scriptwriting. (Or fictional writing in general).
This said, it's doubtful that they would spend more than 40k a day on just living (taxes, houses, food, services, etc). Why more, you would ask? Because paying more than that sum in real life would make it less expensive.
So it's 1.120.000 in a month, times 12 it's 13.440.000 times 35 years of William playing the game equals to 470.400.000 dollars.
To that amount, we have to make a speculative discount to the days/months/years he might've not played. However we don't know that, so we just assume he played every day for 35 years.
PS: Have you ever played an MMORPG that was interesting to you/you liked jsut for some hours? :)

Unpopular Ignorant opinion: I'm not saying it NEVER Happened. But I built my first i3 + Radeon 270X computer like 15+ years ago. Ever since then, 40 series Nvidia cards were the FIRST to make the rounds in the news about melting connectors and all of those "safety hazard" issues. I'm not talking about blackscreens, faulty drivers, etc. we've had that all the time for ages, specially with AMD back then... I'm talking about your PC potentially catching on FIRE.
So, my unpopular ignorant opinion is... the fact this EVEN makes the rounds, or it's shown up AGAIN is terrible. It should be awful. We had almost 20 years of plenty of GPUs working "just fine" (generally speaking) and now suddenly we start arguing why the problem happens, if it's user error, or if it's a genuine issue. Is it safe, is it mild or serious? Like what the fuck? You could make the argument that today everything is faster, for clicks, etc. so the tiniest thing makes the news... but I mean, this was on your channel, on GN... everywhere. So it wasn't just a couple of reddit clicky posts.
There should be more push from people to either get their (manufacturer's) shit together ASAP or go back to the tried and true methods. Yet here we are, a part saying is shit, other parts trying to explain it, another part saying it's alright... or even having a debate if your PC catching on fire is ok or not. It's crazy to me. Even more at the 2000 dollar range for just 1 stupid PCB to render some big titties on your screen.

CONGRATS to Intel. They pulled through, they stuck with it despite the "rocky" launch of Alchemist.
- Card looks sober, smaller, lighter, performs great at a decent price - so design and performance wise, perfect
- Naming schemes: This is battlemage so it's a B and then... the numbers. Personally, I would've gone with a 3-tier category, with 3, 5 and 7, going back to the Core i days. And if you have less products than 3, then just slot it where you think is going to battle with. B3xx - B5xx - B7xx if anything. Still, the naming scheme is easy to remember and not get confused and the fact they only have 1 or 2 cards, makes it super easy. I think they should keep this up. Don't change anything except improvements.
Answering your question Jay, YES. Sadly, it's a very very very very bad timing for me. I already bought a 7600 (xfx speed quick faster nfs something something triple fan) a while ago, and I play on 1080p. I need a new computer (r5 2600 here, the cane usage is strong on this one!) so I couldn't possibly buy a new GPU. HOWEVER, my gf built a low spec PC (her first ever) last year, and the RX 580 it has serves, but could go a bit higher on GPU so if when Intel cards become available, they are not over 150 dollars from initial price (thanks country customs and taxes!), I will totally tell her to go buy one. B580 is literally something I would insta buy if I were looking for a GPU upgrade or to build a new computer AS LONG as reviews and people ni general don't find too many software glitches. Because while the card is powerful, if it runs like crap in general it means nothing (AMD knows about this from the HD7000 era). But if it runs generally well... it would be my purchase. I never really liked Intel, I certainly don't like many of their practices but the work they've done on the GPU space is a no brainer. Hopefully they keep that up the same way and give Nvidia and AMD a run for their money.

I wish speedruns would only count as valid if you actually play the game. Like Guiness has rules.
I think it's FUCKING AWESOME that people find these glitches for a level, specially back in the old days, or ways to maximize an unintended mechanic for their advantage.
But I think there's a subtle line between maximizing a mechanic for extra damage or avoiding damage and killing something quicker, compared to just avoiding all together and cut through the game but without really "progressing" through it.
Uhtrance did a video on speedrun for RE3 remake and then Steam refund. You can see him like shooting the launcher before time on certain spots where he knows Nemesis is going to land. That's super cool and it's valid. He kills the enemies, or most of them.
I guess it's fair for the Elden Ring guy since it's "any%". But it would be cool to have any % as just for fun, and then the others as actual valid attempts.
And people mention the research, optimizing each segment, yadda yadda. But he literally just runs and glitches out. Is not an optimization of strategy + gear and stats + mechanics.
Don't get me wrong, it's impressive. I could never do this in any way, but it's boring as fuck. This is the speedrun version of when Asmon talks about pro players streaming and even though their skills are insane it's boring to watch. Same thing, 11 minutes in and it's just loading screens and glitches for jumps.

I know ads pay X amount of money for each view or click depending on your region. Someone from my country will earn less than someone in the U.S, for example. I have a question, does your "reach" and amount of views, engagement, etc. also play a part on it? Meaning for example if we watched 5 years of your ads you'd be much better with all of us giving you a dollar, but if we watched Linus' ads for example, he would get more than you?
And the downloads thing on mobile apps is because they're temprary files, I assume, according to something they WOULD say, is to "prevent you from reuploading" or whatever copyright bs they make up. In reality is for that purpose you mention, to make you log in to "check" it's you really, and then say "ah yes, you "downloaded" this and this piece of content, but now that we checked it's you, we'll allow it".
At the same time, you can turn on (off, actually, as they've done it by themselves) "Smart download" so you "always have things to watch offline". I just tried downloading your video, and it did it... in 480p. Download today doesn't mean you are actually getting the file that was uploaded. It means you won't "waste data loading the content".
If companies weren't such shit at making things for us so complicated, I'd say this is a great feature. If you have a mobile data cap or something you can "dowload" (meaning, pre-load) content on your house maybe with wifi, and then on the train/bus trip you need to make, you have that ready to watch. My mom uses it on Netflix and it's honestly handy. The horrible part is the other one, offered as a feature when if you're not really online, you can't really watch it, I think.

I don't think it's necessary, just like it wasn't necessary to have tiktok, BUT it would be great for me if you'd use the e-mail as a type of newsletter for a rundown of events that may not need an entire video on themselves or in case you go on a break.
Also perhaps describe to us what led you to acquire such a gigantic mug? Like I am pretty sure it's new, wasn't used in previous videos.
You can also tell us all about shooty sticks and stuff without getting demonetized or cancelled... I think. Hope so.
Glad to have you back, I hope you're doing better. And I know it's hard to watch what's happening to your home, but always remember there are worse places, like South America. You're welcome any time though, we've got good coffee and food. Well, if you can acquire the food. But it's good!
PS: I don't want to defend this shit ass social network, or the Chinese, but I always like to be fair. And TO BE FAIR, DeFranco's wife on the podcast they did together said she barely got any teens, thots or stupid tiktok on the explore part, because like the algorithm for her got fed gardening and other stuff so it knew what to give to her. From that she learnt a lot of gardening tricks and such.
Like on Instagram if you follow certain things, you get "related" things, but not always useful. I feel tiktok has the upper hand in this, under the sea of dumb idiots showing their ass and doing cringe worthy dancing videos, just not in a pineapple.

See, I personally don't like that one class does one thing only. I liked the idea for example in swtor of going DoT dmg, control dmg or healer. Or say I'm, a monk in ff, I can only do dmg. How is it I cannot tank with a monk with a quarterstaff? Or have 2 dps trees, quarterstaff for control and aoe, and the other for ST?.
However, if you were to ask me, would I change anything to have that? No. Because so far they've done an excellent job, as far as I know, or at least it feels that way during the dungeons. Everyone has a job and it's useful.

Actually let's use CyberPunk Idris Elba's definition.
DLC is DOWNLOADBLE CONTENT. These for the longest time, even starting with CoD back in the day have been small updates, QoL changes, new packs of weapons and/or skins.
Major content updates to a game are EXPANSIONS if they are NOT within the base game.
Tarkov, as far as I'm aware, is still in CLOSED BETA. Is not a fully released game, so:
A) PvE should be added for everyone who bought ANY edition of the early access game, as it would be considered another "play mode" of the game.
B) If it's not considered part of the main game and instead, an addition to it - since it requires SO MUCH "server infrastructure" and stuff, and considering it would operate completely separate that the main Tarkov experience, it should be considered an expansion. And as such, it should be clear and not temporary for which "edition" this mode is available
To be fair to them, TECHNICALLY an expansion is a DLC, but not all DLCs are expansions.
A WoW expansion is a DLC, because it's "downloadable content" besides the main base game. However, any new store skin they sell for which you have to download an update for, is also a DLC. But it is NOT an expansion.

I agree in sentiment with you, but you can't compare yourself on a video from months ago and 200k views, to someone that gets 3M views in 24Hrs and does the "popular trendy content" that most people would watch. That's where the "big bucks" from ads will come.
Also it depends on which ads are paid for and the CTR $ amount. Like for example, in my country, if I had a video with 200k views over the span of 4 months, I surely wouldn't get 100 dollars. I would get less, because ads would pay less money for my country. But that's on the side to make my point, let's go to US where you are. A person that does something that gets viewed a lot in a couple of days will make much more money and also they have sponsored bits in it as well. The typical "buy this water bottle that cleans your asshole while you drink it with pussy flavor! Whoaaaaaa".
Again, I agree in sentiment. I personally don't mind not skipping an ad bit if it's related to the topic and/or related to the channel's content and if I like the creator. To give them "watched minutes". What bothers me is you sometimes have like 4 ads that cut off your video (like the old days of watching tv) in 5 minutes and then all the ads across the entire website. Is just atrocious.
I think, if you started uploading "regularly" and a type of content that gets on avg 200-250k per video in a couple of days or a week, and is curated (remember, no showing the finger, no yelling to the camera upset, no calling out YT for being stupid, no cussing, etc.) you'd get much more than 100 dollars per vid. Maybe not much, but more for sure. I'm not saying you SHOULD (please, don't ever do that) but I'm saying if you WOULD, that's probably what would happen. Nowadays, YT is the "regular 9-5" grind but making videos, uploading in certain timeframes and schedules, and getting amounts of traction so in the long run is profitable. It's not like it was before some years ago when even sub count mattered (remember pewdiepie vs the indians, that was fun).
So in conclusion I don't think that your point is invalid, in fact is what I agree with, but your example doesn't showcase this very well to back it up. Or maybe it does! If you look at it from a different POV where you're saying "if you make content you like with no filter, this is what it would look like!" then I assume in that case, it's one of the best examples lol
PS: Mr Clinton CEO would fire you in a heartbeat if you changed the thumbnails where he shows up for you doing silly faces. No greenies for you, Mr Rossmann!

I agree that it might not be EASY but it certainly is very SIMPLE. As Dr Mike put it: If it has no side effects, it has no effect.
Anything else that does have an effect, consuming more will be harmful, depending on what it is. Doctors don't know everything, and some of them have a big ego, but generally speaking, it's as simple as don't self medicate and don't drink or eat things that are not food unless you are told by your physician that you have to do so.
THAT SAID, at the same time anything that is regulated, doctors a lot of times are quick shooters at prescribing meds, psychiatrists as well. So is not like if it's regulated by the FDA and "approved by your doctor" is going to be good all the time.
There's this thing of many many people on anxiety medication when in reality they shouldn't be on that. Clonazepam and such.
Last but not least, you forgot to define "drug" in this video first, or at least maybe that's a different angle on this matter. "A drug is any chemical substance that when consumed causes a change in an organism's physiology, including its psychology, if applicable. Drugs are typically distinguished from food and other substances that provide nutritional support."
If they were having mushrooms or whatever that Lion's Mane is, that'd be a drug, not a supplement. Or we can define supplement as well. For this case in particular, we'll use this one: "Something added to complete a thing, make up for a deficiency, or extend or strengthen the whole."
Maybe I'm stupid, but as far as I read those two, I don't see they exclude themselves. So going back, if they start having mood changes, can't sleep, palpitations in their hearts... that's a change. And clearly harmful.
The key thing is probably lobbying is super strong and that is why they won't change the regulation unless people wake the f up and demand it. Imo, they should be regulated like drugs and given under prescription.

I know certain situations don't always follow rules, but at the same time, it's logical to think. For example, that someone has a BMW doesn't really mean they can afford to break it and repair it (or get the car stolen). But you would think they would buy something according to what they can afford or need.
So, if you had that 750w perfectly working computer and you wanted to go for a FORTY90 out of the blue, I would always expect you're one of those people that can and will build a system around that. A new system. Especially considering if we all here are versed at least on a basic level in computer building.
Like if you buy a 4090, buy a better PSU. If you can't, don't buy the 4090. At that point one could assume you couldn't buy a better monitor, or better other parts and it's just sort of a waste.
Don't respond to me with your exceptional one off situations. As I said, I know not every situation is the rule, but if you're going to talk generally then you have to go with the norm, not the exception.
I also think this is a good opportunity for Intel and AMD to get into the game of software and optimization. Instead of developing "the most powerful hardware ever!" why not deal with the devs/studios to build for a system of yours, and since Intel is now (supposedly... zZz) going to be like AMD, with both CPU and GPU, I feel these 2 companies have a much more compelling case to be built for and thus requiring "lesser hardware" to push the games. Countless times we've seen to be needing some sort of beast PC to run a game, just because below that level it wouldn't reach 60 fps. And it's not the hardware's capabilities fault.

"But they're not going to settle for something that's not perfect".
Yeah, it will never be. There's new people, new times, new technologies. Things evolve, and change.
We older (not necessarily old) players want a fucking challenge but hey guess what, people cried Wildstar was TOO HARD. Then, they dumbed things down in WoW year after year and now it's just a GW2 mix with warcraft lore selling fucking butterfly costumes in the shop.
I agree on one thing, despite not liking wow, I think the style works perfectly for it. I don't like it, I think it looks like shit BUT, the newer models (like demon hunters) and effects look really really good. SOme of those shoulder pauldrons that are set on fire or with fel, they look so fucking good. We can see this in Tmog competitions. Some look really good and for today's standards they're fine and others are just pure garbage. To be fair the game is 20 billion years old, so you can't ask much. That's why I don't hold it against it and see it with contextual eyes.
I was just thinking, if AoC can be a GOOD game, I don't care it doesn't look super realistic or whatever. Just needs to look decently good, interesting and appealing. And have its own style like WoW does (or swtor for that matter) and make particles kinda pretty and that's it. The rest will come by itself with gameplay. Also, lesser graphics = better run on more pcs = more players.

This is one of the most accurate comments echoing my thoughts on the last video that I've read.
I remember when during the elections the search was skewed if you were US based and certain channels didn't appear on the list after you searched, only reactions and other channels. Me and others were outside of the US, searched and got the results that were supposed to appear. This and many other instances of bullshit is what made up a history of situations like this, that if Susan wajiji goes to take a dump, everyone will cry out thunder.
The saying goes "you reap what you sow".
And clearly this topic A got out of hand or B Asmon and team realized his takes were a bit off, and now the video is unlisted. Lol.
It makes me sad, because Asmon, despite being an asshole fiend on the outside, all of us who are like that can see he's a nice person and he just wants everyone to stop fucking around and being bad to each other and just play the fucking game. But like I said before, if he wants to get into this, he should get in hard, balls deep. Not dipping his toes and then go away.

@freerider3434 well I see your point and now I kind of agree tbh since you explained it. I just thought you meant shooting anybody under any circumstance when they didn't comply.
Now, that said, the system we have in place IS (sadly) a trial and prison system that gives second chances (theoretically) and reinserts people into society. Now, we know in reality that is garbage, but i wanna see someone go their way and be against this system and try to change it. All civil rights movements, leftists, etc would shut it down.
If it makes you feel better in my country cops are out of shape, training, equipment, they CAN'T fire usually, they don't have cams, underpaid of course and on top of that joining the force is 2+2 so you can imagine who is there.
Not too long ago a tourist was saved by a cop after getting stabbed 10 times to have his camera stolen, but because the criminal died, cop faced charges and fines of up to 400k pesos (argentina).
So all and all, aat least US pplice are useful for something.

Yeah, I watch you because I do find your videos funny, while also being informative and your own opinions, when they're serious are actually interesting and they don't completely invalidate the other side's pov even if you don't agree with it. Like this is not Sydney from Twitter haha. And I respect Elijah for everything he does, a lot of balls to be on-site reporting all that shit however, after following him and others and getting into their Telegram channels, etc, etc I found myself in very enclosed groups that ended up just basically praising the creator and their ideas (that's fine I guess, I mean you are following a person because in theory you like how they think) and bashing the other side and just dissenting with a lot of stuff. So I took a step back and deleted most of my social media, lol.
If you're not going to stop uploading here, I don't think I will be listening to the show (also because you are one of the many videos that don't last 5 minutes that I like to watch and there's just literally not enough time in life even if you don't do anything other than watch videos).
It just feels at a certain point it's a never ending battle of who is more "based" or whos ideals are more "correct" over the other, with no actual progression towards a common better goal and it's just exhausting. Meanwhile all the common people, regardless of their side suffer through all that. Lauren Southern (just an example) has been doing a couple of videos of this sort where she takes a step back and tries to reflect on her past actions and doings as well as her actual views and it does feel much more mature bringing up deeper points about the issues. I don't know if it's right or wrong, it's just interesting and kind of a step forward from the endless fights of "conservatives this" and "libtards that".
Maybe you need to "stay on top" for work, but I would encourage you to quit social media or just use it for promotion of your work. Don't get me wrong, I'm not completely defending or justifying these people. If you showed me that tiktok to me and asked me what I thought, I'd look you straight into your eyes and say "Yeah, that person is a retard. Also your hair looks nice. Wavy, like Australia." I would agree with you on what the fuck are they uploading and how insane their logic is. But when you take a step back and think of them as people (I know, I am completely insane) you start thinking about their rights and whatever is bothering or hurting them. And do they deserve to be chained and put in jail so we can prevent them to spread more and more socialist and communist ideas? Because we know those ideas are bad and they just don't fucking work, but at some point we have to ask what else can and WILL we do? And at what point that becomes dangerous regardless of sides. Like it's happened to me that I cannot enjoy someone's insane talent at painting or singing or whatever because I know they're like pro public schools and let the governments run their lives. It interferes with the enjoyment of daily little things that would make our days better in general if we're not always caught up in this loop of upping the ante against each other. I don't know if it makes sense. Am I insane? At this point I also don't know anymore, lol.
And if you read up to this point, thank you. I am still subbed to your e-mail list that you never use, as far as I know! So I'm sure you'll let us know maybe? perhaps? if you get off'd from YT. I also don't know if you have time, but maybe you could do shorter videos, like 10 minutes but those where you can say the things you want and put them in oddissey or rumble? Sorry for the wall of text.
Oh and I almost forgot, I also watch you for the ads. You make amazing ads.

How is this any different than being at the same job for 10 years not going down nor up, and staying because you have "a few benefits" and maybe higher salary than usual and if you go do something else you don't have the reliability of a stable income or much lower income?
In this video, I'm hearing the same story, just put "video games and streaming" on top of it to make it new. It does have plenty of different things than other jobs, sure, but if you get to this state it means you kinda f'd in the beginning and you didn't really know how to tackle it or approach it in the first place. You just started doing it. And understandably so, it was a new thing, not many did it, games were different it had its own appeal. Imagine being able to watch WoTLK Asmongold. It makes sense.
But it feels like just as someone "just starts a job" thinking of it one way, whoever started streaming some years ago and stuck with 1 game, are realizing later on how hard it is to get out of it and do something else, something that interests you and you like. There's no formula though, you can't blame any of them.

Asmon, you are wrong. Microsoft is not a "very good company". And Riot isn't either. In fact, you say "blizzard just copy riot and let people stream the game". You have not played league and even less have been into the strategy/administrative part of it. Riot has fucked up A LOT of shit, the thing is they got so fucking big it's like a trip over a stone instead of a falling off of a ledge.
Microsoft is the same. For 20 years they've been dominating the market, absorbing smaller companies, displacing smaller competitors, etc. For every one MSFT good decision there are 10 that suck, are intrusive, disrupt users' workflow and/or are killed projects.
Google too, and Apple seem to be the same to an extent.
All of them are just too big and dominant in their respective markets with their single insanely popular IP, that the rest of fuck ups "go unnoticed" or get forgotten.
The Surface is "generally" a good product, it has a market and it has a use. It's just Microsoft, the "good company" couldn't make a competent touch based OS since Windows 8 came out to market it properly and make it function properly. That AND the price you mention makes it so you'd better go with another lappy of 2k dollars.
Microsoft's Xbox and Office division (and Azure for servers maybe) is the 3 things they hadn't killed or fucked up completely.

You talked about recently how your channel hasn't changed, which was true. But we were getting "chill(er) complaints" and this one... this one has passion!
Jokes aside, you also spoke about not just ranting on a chair but also providing solutions. In that sense... I know you're basically out of time in your day and such but would it be interesting for you to make specific "guide" videos?
Like you know what SSH means. I know I've heard the term but can never remember what it is. The next guy who buys a car that connects to the internet to open the roof... they don't know anything.
I don't mean make 54 hours of a guide explaining every single thing. But you could for example make a 5-10 minute video showing the tools and how you connected one computer to your thermostat and set the parameters for security. And then say "learn what ssh is and what it does on this link" and so on and so forth.
I know you don't expect others to live like you and that is completely logical and makes sense. But perhaps some might be interested in some things but they don't know how to do it or where to go for that. I know "there are plenty of guides" on the internet but that is the thing. A lot of people watch what they watch and then don't have time, energy or simply don't want to watch something else.
For example, I watch GamersNexus and JayZ2cents (and some others) but I don't watch ALL. Like I don't watch Level1Tech for example. And I rarely watch Hardware Unboxed despite their content being great. Nothing in particular is just if I watch them I don't watch someone else (time constraints) and so on and so forth. So you being you, detail oriented, open souce stuff, right to repair, trustworthy even though you don't want people to trust you, etc. it makes sense if you could make "little simple guides" without fucking around for people that are interested. I feel it could be interesting content, a bit more positive to contrast your glorious rants and also useful which is the primary goal.

I like how their idea of offensive never crosses their mind for themselves.
"Oh my god, a woman who heals everything or the one in a skirt?"
I could say "Oh my god, a hot sexy female burglar in a leather suit that acts as a feline like the girls on pornhub with a tail buttplug in their ass who are submissive?".
Also, Pattinson's best character was Cedric in Harry Potter and I am sad he keeps having these weird stupid roles because I truly think he is actually a good actor. And the fact he knows his FF7 shit (which I personally don't, I don't care about FF) is mad respectable.
Edit: Also, hot take here: People who keep saying "oh poor Zoe, she's rich, who cares?" are doing the same thing in the opposite way as she does. You are invalidating any of their experiences because they were born sons or daughter of X or Y. Grow the fuck up.
I'm NOT saying she should be complaining/blaming like she does. She does sound kind of dumb. She needs to grow the fuck up as well, but I mean, she is a spoiled child, to an extent so you could expect them to be less aware/conscious. But to say that because they had a better life/opportunities than others and/or because they are children of whomever they are not allowed to feel bad, is envious and resentful as well.
Objectively, if someone has 1 dollar more than you, they are richer than you. And so if the number is big, you're putting effectively your subjective value onto it to make it good or bad. If it's 1 dollar it doesn't matter, but if it's 1 million then it does and they can't complain because "they don't know about life". That's stupid. It's as alienating and invalidating as saying that someone poor shouldn't vote or talk about any pressing issue because it's likely they don't know how to manage their money or uneducated. One thing, even if true, is not exclusive (or shouldn't be) of the other.

My brother told me about this the other night, Devin Booker being one of these too. And I thought they were just throwing tantrums.
Their responses were actually fucking legit.
They were very very vocal about the double dose and whatever in my country. It took 3 months since sign up to get my first dose. Supposedly the 2nd dose should've came 28 days later. It's also been around 2 months, lol (since 22nd of July). I didn't want to get it, specially since they were giving the Russian and Chinese ones for the most part (I could get AstraZeneca), but I did it anyways so they stop busting my balls with it and should anything happen after getting it, then I had an argument.
By now, the first dose is probably drops of water in my system. It's all a fucking joke.
People died lying on the floor of hospitals due to lack of attention, treatment and space. And if developed countries health systems were "overloaded", imagine here where they spent 20 years being corrupt and not doing anything for any system (health, ed, security).

These videos are super cool! Always fun when you guys visit that GODLIKE shop. We'll never have anything like it but it's super cool.
There is one thing however I feel you did "wrong" in the video and people like you (tech creators who have availability) always run into (is not wrong actually but it's just a caveat or maybe a peeve of mine?).
You started the video saying all open box, save money, we go for save money not aesthetics, etc. etc. but you kept reoccurring on the fact of "future upgrades". I feel if you're someone trying to save money and going open box, you want to buy whatever you can maximizing your money and staying with that PC for a while. I'm not saying 5+ years, but maybe 2 or 3 if it's a decent enough PC.
Like you got a 4060Ti. You decided on PSU and case for "future upgrades", but you also would have a 13700k. I feel with that processor if you put in a 4070 from the get go or maybe a 7800XT (or something like that) you wouldn't need "future upgrades" but maybe you start saving for a whole new PC?. Things are not like they used to be where if you upgraded your GPU every 1 or 2 years you got a massive boost in stuff. Things today are good enough to last a bit (plus prices are insane) and maybe I'm completely wrong, but say you have a 3080Ti (if that exist I really don't even know anymore). Maybe the 5080 will destroy it, but only because 4k series were better but not that much better than 3k series. In the future, unless something massive happens, if the same trend remains, we could assume you have a 5080 today... then buying the 6080 might not yield much better results and you'd be spending a ton of money. Like 8k series processors for Ryzen. At that point go with an X3DVcache chip 7K series or something or wait for 9k. Imo it's counter intuitive to go for a 4060Ti and then you need to change it.
And again you started saying "this is a mid tier build open box" but then you talk about upgrades. I know there are much powerful models in general but that PC is mid-high tier in my eyes. Like it's pretty darn great. So that is why I feel this "upgrade path" way of thinking is not truly that much representative of majority of people, especially ones going for open box stuff (not everyone, I know).
I feel a much better situation would be, you HAVE a 13700 and a 4060Ti and you go open box to upgrade the GPU alone. That would be much more reasonable and realistic imo. Like say at the time you bought new parts, you didn't have the money for more and also prices were crazy / avail was low, etc. so now you have the chance to upgrade that GPU maybe and get a much better performance considering all the other parts are very good and fast.
PS: PLEASE DO A VID ON THE NEO FORZA STUFF! Maybe they're using good memory chips inside or whatever and they work just fine. That speed and latency is pretty good especially for 32gbs at that price? Is kind of a mouth watering deal. It'd be nice to see WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER

The way you explained it was great, what I don't understand is how can there be such a huge difference today vs some years ago. Also, when are we going to get volume again? Never? because the pandemic was 2020, + some years of effects after say 2023. We're in Q1 of 2025. Will 2026 be back on track? There are things in the middle that I feel that are missing. Or are those pieces missing the "greed" from companies?
Like other people are saying, 150 was difference from one series to the other. Is that never going to happen again? Of course you CAN'T know this because that would be knowing the future and in that case you'd be a ruler of the world 🤣, but maybe some speculation with your expertise?
Like here's my reasoning and maybe if you make a video you have use this line. I am not talking places like my country or outside US. I'm talking full on US retail MSRP price and avail, to make it a bit simpler. We know there are tariffs and taxes and all that shit for other countries so it's hard to keep track of all variables for everybody. That said, there's also this thing about the pirates hijacking the ships and fucking up shipments, materials, etc. The thing is, which is the thing that makes prices go up the most? Is it the low volume? If yes, why is there such a low volume. Why not make more volume, sell more at a lower price? Is it greed or profit margins? If yes to greed, then I guess we're fucked. If it's legitimately all the logistics and such, why is there such a massive diff? it's gotta be inflated numbers all over the place.

This video has everything that can happen (and happens) in an arrest. There's a criminal committing a crime, cops (or cop) goes to check. Tries to make an arrest. In a second, a fight ensues. He gets hit in the head, starts to bleed. He shoots the criminal to subdue him.
After a while that everything is 'calm' and calling for backup, the officer wants to help him. But he doesn't want no help, he doesn't want to get out of the situation that's why he was going into it by committing the crime in the first place.
Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I think it's interesting to think (and maybe investigate) how many people (criminals) have an actual underlying thought and desire of dying (form of depression) instead of no regards for others. Not to justify them or anything, but maybe understanding that would lead to some reform or other forms of prevention so they don't get to this point.
It's not the first time we see someone say "Shoot me", "kill me" or in this case "I'm going to jail so whatever, I don't want your help".
I don't know if they know each other already, but sounds like it.
So many things to unpack in this video, one of the best uploaded so far imo.

Maybe the commentary was a joking remark on the P320? Or is that one not the one that fires itself off?
Aside from that, as an Argentinian, we've been mulled down by criminals with (illegal? loaned?) guns, meanwhile it's very hard for us to get guns. That said, aside from now April 2024 which we are having a huge Narcos problem in Rosario city, we haven't had (that we know off) many "serial shooters/killers".
I'm watching crime series on Netflix, US based and even from the 70s the US has had insane people committing mass murders. So I'm having a hard time believing it's because "guns are easy to acquire". Maybe that is a factor that plays in.
I also have a hard time believing that is JUST because of the "political divide" or whatever insanity is happening to us worldwide now or for the last 10 years. I also do not believe is solely due to "social media" and "tiktok" or whatever.
Like there clearly is something else going on, that for some reason, the US just houses the most insane killers in the world, even from many many years ago. Especially during the years when it was hard to find or match evidence due to the lack of the technology.
Note to self: Clearly is also perception and I was wrong, US does not have the most insane ones. Note from Wikipedia list:
"Luis Garavito: Child-murderer, torture-killer, and rapist known as "La Bestia" ("The Beast"). Garavito confessed to killing 140 boys between six and sixteen years old, from October 1992 to April 1999 in Colombia and neighboring countries.[3] He is suspected of murdering over 300 victims, mostly street children. Garavito was originally sentenced to 1,853 years in prison, but this was later reduced to 22 years, after he led police to many of the bodies of his victims.[4][5] He was scheduled to become eligible for parole in 2023.[6] He died on October 12, 2023.[7]"
The 2nd on the list is also from Colombia/Perú/Ecuador. Both of these have been heavily convicted but either released or sentence reduced despite this, which is also insane.
The first American on the list comes at #11th, which is Samuel Little. So there are 10 before that that are seemingly worse and from other countries.
I guess we would have to "narrow" the variables to "Mass shooters" only when discussing this in relation to the guns. So if we do that, one of the links that comes up now is this: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/mass-shootings-by-country
And apparently there are different definitions of "mass shootings". Clearly is not a simple topic of "ban guns = human lives profit".

There is nothing about this situation that you can't say this doesn't suck.
That said, people came out unharmed from the house and the 911 caller had the info about her being 75, with dementia and medication. Couldn't you have sent 2 cops, going through another entrance or a window maybe and take her down without this happening? I know she has a knife in her hand, so it's dangerous. What about a tazer? Maybe that would've killed her too because of her age, I don't know.
I also do think that while the country is the US, zones with a lot of citizens speaking another language people in health or security service should learn said language, whether it's Spanish, Italian, Chinese, etc. It would help wonders. But of course... think about the government giving aid for said programs, they can't even pay cops a decent salary for risking their lives.

For some reason, at 3:40 for like 20 seconds it goes to 190p and then comes back to 1080 xD weird
Can you please make a follow up video through EVERYTHING. You know, how you always do, going from one tab to another saying BUT, HOWEVER... PHON.
I keep saying people everywhere saying "use firefox, use firefox" ALL the time. But they have a somewhat lackluster development track record due to building other services, they don't even have tab grouping (a request made with like 2500 votes in the community forums over 2 years ago), they added telemetry which I personally don't mind that much, but I do like Brave's "sync chain" thing that doesn't connect to a server. They also get money from Google and started shipping Google as default search engine and got rid of other options. I remember they used to ship FF with you being able to select DDG, Ecosia, Qwant, etc. however now you can't (OOTB experience).
How is this any better, really? And people keep saying FF is fully open source. I had thought or at least I saw/heard somewhere maybe in some videos that the "client" was, but not the engine thus why we only have forks of FF but we never got a new browser using FF's engine.
It would be really cool if you laid everything out, even if it becomes a longer video because I feel no one talks about this or mention the cons of Mozilla/Firefox and they just push it out to the community like Google pushes Chrome when you go to their sites.
That said, responding to your question, just as I have hopped from distro to distro, I've done so with browsers. From IE (lol, really) to Legacy Edge, New Edge, Chrome and almost everything else except Safari.
For a long time I've used and loved Firefox (still think their logo is THE BEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL EVER, I just want to press it), but after a while it got stagnant and then all the reasons I stated above. I see no point using the browser that once was god tier and freed people from IE that is now an excuse made by a company that holds a bunch of activist hippies that don't do anything useful.
So now I use Brave. I wasn't using it because their UI was fucking garbage. Now that they have changed it into something usable and modern, I have no issues for the most part. The crypto stuff... eh. I just remove/disable and call it a day. I wish it wasn't there but what can you do. And I do miss the customizability of Firefox. Other than that I guess this is fine.
Edit: Like as a closing final point... Firefox is getting traction again because it's the best worst option due to everything else using Chromium and due to Google being worse than garbage, but not because themselves have made good strides forward and thus the community likes the features/changes. And that is my biggest gripe.

First of all ram usage shouldn't be a metric anymore since it's dynamic and if you have spare ram, it's wasted ram. Also, yesterday watching csgo finals on Twitch, I was at 5.X GBs of ram, lol. I thought it was weird. Closed, reopened, and still had 1.9GBs of usage on that tab. So Idk how they get 2.7 with 60 tabs open. I guess if they open them and after 5 minutes they turn into efficiency mode.
I use Edge, my gf does as well. We love it. And in fact I just came back to it from a month or so of trying Brave, on phone as well. Edge is GREAT. It has "microsoft shit" in it, as does Windows, which is sad, but it is what it is. The thing is the browser is not just "browsing fast". Tools, privacy and ecosystem as a whole matter. Edge, uses Microsoft. A lot of people are into Google's ecosystem, so they use Chrome instead as they always have.
Personally I love there's many browsers to choose from even if effectively they're all chromium under the hood. From my experience and personal opinion, if you're not going to use Edge, use Firefox instead, to "battle the giants" or whatever.
Also I have to ask, is that % chart taking into account phones? Because in that case, Chrome wins by a lot because of Android, and Safari is only 40% because of iOS and the 70+% of the entire USA using Apple stuff. Firefox is widely popular or heard from by a lot of people as well and yet it apparently only has 2 and a half %. Half of Edge even. So that stat metric is weird.

@BrodieRobertson I don't. I agree it would be AWESOME. But if you go to supermarket A, and buy a can of sliced pineapple, and then you go to another supermarket B and try to get the same can, they are not going to let you leave without paying, lol.
This is the exact same thing. One thing is OWNING THE PRODUCT, which if you buy directly from the devs, then it would make sense you could run it as many times and anywhere you want that is supported.
But Steam, Xbox (Msft store), PlayStation... are publishers. Are that, stores. So you have to buy it again, because you're buying in that store. Your example in the video was perfectly clear and it made sense. Linus is being stupid, which is bad considering he's pretty smart on a lot of things and has a lot of data about business that we don't.

"You've got baggage I've got room" is deeper than anything Beyonce sung on her new poker country song. (it was Beyonce right?)
Let's be serious. I personally CAN'T TELL that it's AI, but just because the weird sound on the voices is not something I'd be surprised to see in today's music. Between weird pop and trap music (and sometimes new age reggeaton, being South American) I just think "well they went for A SOUND" but I don't think "that's fake".
I do have to say they all sound "flat". Like the beats and all are very crisp, you can tell them apart, but as a whole thing, it feels flat. Like they are all under the same type of margins. And considering what people listen to nowadays, these songs are pretty darn good in comparison lol.
And to that, I end with: I don't think is going to replace people. For some it will, just like for them they replaced "older music" with new pop that is just all the same stuff and just the singer. And then also other people started liking electronic music some years ago. And the debate remains, is electronic music actually music? Because to do a good track, you need to know music and notation. That doesn't mean you can't make a track if you know how to use the program. It's not the same as playing an instrument, however.
I mostly like metal, and it's been many many years since I've been to a concert. I don't know if I ever will be at one again. But there is something about seeing people play like Danny Carey, El Estepario, Matt Greiner, etc. or even playing myself (If you couldn't tell, I like drums!) that you just can't replace with a flat soulless sound from a computer.

You're a current adult but past child who is into tech (somewhat, you make videos) and probably doesn't care anymore about TV shows and their content.
That is your mistake, assuming you're the audience. And you can judge, good or bad, anyone who watches these things but the truth is they're boomers mostly, or just in general people who like to consciously watch idiotic things because "they're funny". Which is also ok.
Also, Dr House is not that entirely medically accurate, but is so damn entertaining to watch. While others, are the other way around. And SVU was good enough in the beginning. It was SVU, not just your regular victims! but then they went and made like 50 seasons.
It's like the beginning of Two and a Half men or The Big Bang Theory, vs season 5+ of said shows. They weren't the same nor as funny, it needed to be always out of the box and more ridiculous to cause surprise and that is when it stops being funny, actually. You've got The Walking dead. Great start. Super interesting, thirlling... season 4 was like "END THIS ALREADY, PLEASE!". And sure, some TWD could tell you otherwise, but we already know they're dumb for being fans of a show it should've ended in season 4.
I don't have a TV. I am poor, yes, but also if I could afford one... well, yes, I would buy one but not for me, just in case I would have guests or whatever. Probably my gf would like one. Personally for me? Hell no. I watch YouTube and Twitch and that's about it for all the entertainment I need. It's selective and specific, I choose the ones I like and that's the end.
But my mom for example, she's not only frenemies with technology, she's also a doctor and has no time for nothing so she watches what she can. That's when some sports, mostly football come in, news and other cooking stuff come in.

Actually, and I'm not kidding, there's a PLETHORA of indie games that are pretty good. And they inherently respect the old selling model: You give money, they give finalized working game (with caveats of EA and bug fixing along the way since now we can do that).
I got myself a bunch yesterday, ScourgeBringer, Slay the Spire, Noita, Cuphead. Gifted 2 to my gf.
This is coming from someone who loves realistic graphics. But as things are today, not just the industry but our (not USA) country, after switching to Linux 2 weeks ago and now seeing what I could play that didn't require online and anticheats, I thought why not give these smaller games a try. They even weigh less than 1GB!
Trust ME (bro), I totally get it if you're not into these. But I'd suggest people to give them a try. What's 5 dollars or less in comparison to 70 dollars for an unfinished buggy game that looks good because of lighting but has no meat in its bones because the gameplay it's just garbage?
I was personally looking for something like a cheap MegaMan. I've never played MegaMan, but didn't know which one was the good one(s) and didn't know if I bought say, 2, needed to play 1 first because of the story. But got myself all the rest that kinda feel that space. Also installed others that I already had but didn't give a proper try. Kingdoms and Castles! (I'm being invaded by Vikings right now, so when I get into my save again, I'll probably lose the hamlet).

You said "If I were Eron".
But you are Louis. And you could make a million dollars by telling Apple how to cut corners and how to rob customers blind. And you haven't. Unless those are not fish in the pond but yachts.
I never bought many things, just one off purchases and maybe MMORPGs subs (back when it was affordable). Now that I can pay for some things, buying FUTO keyboard felt so nice. The update the guys made with the settings cleanup and the language switcher improvement... I felt like a little kid inside. For real, it made me feel so happy and calm in my soul. Because I paid for something that was not great though in development, a lot of people said "yo, we know you Americans only speak American but for us, changing languages is a bit cumbersome" and the devs went in and made an update that is USEFUL for the clients.
It's crazy that we have to rave about a group of people serving their paying customers what they actually want. But here we are and it does feel amazing.
I will be very happy to pay for GrayJay whenever it comes out for desktops. I personally despise using the phone. I remember when I was younger being always excited for the new phones coming out, the new technologies, screens, cameras, apps! ... They killed my excitement. I am lost. I want to know which Motorola to buy (and this is one of the "least worst companies" nowadays when it comes to phones) and I have 60 different options all with similar names. Heck, I am even confused with PC parts, and that's supposed to be "my jam". So as I have always done, I love using my computer. It's much more comfortable to me. So whenever that comes out for desktop, I'll be ready for it. I was already very impressed on how it worked on the phone (and I have an A22, nothing great tbh).
I know it might feel like Eron is burning money and that professional complainers make it sound that everything is shit and not worth it. But it is worth it. That's the trick. They make you think is not, that's how they get you. "Why would you even report to the police? they don't do anything" type of thing. Across the board and I am pretty sure, across the globe to an extent. If something is wrong and/or fucked up, say it. But you have to be sure what you're saying is logical/accurate or be conscious that it might be just you, otherwise you end up a twitter screamer with 40 flags on the name thinking what you're saying is the best of the best.

This doesn't prove shit. Ok, fine, the quarter of a century being 20 maybe proves something.
But the multiplication on the air on top of their head, doesn't. Even if it's an easy one.
I'm 30 and I literally do not remember, not one bit, on how to make a division. You know the little "L" house with the numbers. Let alone if it's more than 1 number, periodical or the likes. I could be sitting there for a milennia and still not remember. Why? I haven't had to use it at all. Does it mean I am dumb? Maybe, not sure. I can do other things very well, better than a lot of people. In fact, I speak 2 languages fluently. There are a lot of people who can make a division and speak 2 languages, and others that are really good at math and only speak 1 language.

Good callout by the lady. I don't know her, maybe she's shit too, who knows. But you often times don't see women calling out other women with sense. It's usually either riding the train or smacking for drama.
In this case she was like "here's your receipt".
However... and this is a BIG, JUICY, FAT, 2 dollar steak from Asmon, very contextual, grey and painful however... to be fair to Hasan (a part of me just died), I do think that one thing is putting a QR code for creators, regardless of their content (sfw or nsfw) and another is literally going to pornhub to stream a video from there and show it. Like yes, she (QT) might've been promoting/advertising sexual content, but is not showing it and it's at "viewer's discretion" sort of speak. So it's bad, debatable, you could argue against it (I do argue against it due to the insane amount of other complaints women face or bring up all the time)... but is not Adin Ross bad.

Here's the thing, it's the thing that gets the most attention, but doesn't truly comprise the biggest % of the platform.
It was in Just Chatting category, but it has been moved to its own category now and it has like 20k to 60k viewers tops, maybe. In a platform watched by millions, that is not a big number.
Also, what's the problem? No one is forcing anybody to do anything. Girls in skimpy clothes lick ear mics, men and women pay to sub to it.
I understand the underlying "trickery" and the whole cosmic-space-what is my purpose in this world thinking about these things and how they affect society and on an individual level and how it affects negatively men's and women's position and...
Honestly, I was thinking about this the other day and thought "Am I out of touch? No! It's the kids who are wrong!". But then thought that maybe, I actually DO put a lot of thought into things that are so ridiculously stupid that you have to let them be and they will be gone at some point.
My core take would be this: A lot of people are really worried all the time about girls whoring around and men being "trapped" or paying for all these things. But go outside for a couple of hours, people are still people. They are still shopping at the mall, buying bread or make up or underwear, etc.
Like 20 years ago, you didn't know who was ordering porn VHS, just like now you really don't know who is paying for a subscription to this shit. And you shouldn't, there's no need really. Once you do, you can't filter that out and see the person as the same. Some might care more, some less but overall it's something you know about the person. Out there, there's a plethora of other people like you, like me who don't give 2 crabs about what the hell these girls do for their living and we just care about a lot of other stuff instead.
It feels like sometimes we put too much thought into stuff like this when we should "live and let live" instead and not separate each other.
An "ASMR skimpy streamer" on Twitch is nothing for any of us to worry about. It is not say, someone legislating something or teaching your kids to be drag queens at school. It's 2 very different things.

"Mmo's are dead" is not a fact, but a big sentiment among the community, which is already divided. It always has been, but back then, there were "the assholes", "the nice guys" and "the degens" which was that group of kinda weird people that you were friends with because they were fun sometimes and also sometimes they were good players. But it was this sort of chaotic balance of a lot of people understanding what the fuck was up with social interactions. If anything happened to your guild or whatever, you had places to go where you knew a few people and you knew they didn't give a fuck about stupid shit. Or they were already kinda old/parents/part of a family and they just wanted to play the game right, but without caring to the point there's drama.
Now is not just divided (or split into groups) now it's fragmented, like society is outside of the game. You can't make a fucking joke you're suddenly a nazi or a phobic or racist of some kind. If you're on the other side of the spectrum, everything is fine, everything is good, everyone is lovely and beautiful. They don't mind being stuck in the same raid for 400 years if they're just having a nice time, and for a lot of people, they wanna do both.
Due to the ways internet has changed in the way its consumed and used, and how people interact nowadays IRL, there's been a shift in one of hte mmo's core systems: grouping and friendship.
There can be exceptions, of course, but as of today, even though they have to put up with a LOT of stupid shit, the people who would enjoy mmo's the most and to the fullest, are big streamers. It's ironically funny. And a lot of us don't have that possibility or would have to build (re-build?) relationships and form a new guild, which can totally come down crashing because that 1 idiot who you put 2nd in command wants to get on with the only real girl the guild has and they won't listen to the fact that's dumb. And nowadays with everything that is going on, getting along with someone even if you think differently is really hard, unlike before.

To all the people blaming cops: I KIND of agree with you, but here, hear me out.
Think about this: You get a call on a man on a gas station or whatever that store was, you go there, minding your business, you ask the guy to talk to you. That's all. Now, the guy starts asking questions and resisting. I've been pulled over or stopped by police many many times, always respectfully, asking for my document number or to see my ID, I do it, and that's it. We greet each other and part ways. I'm not scared because I don't do shit, lol. This guy was reluctant.
Now, from there, situation escalates when he pulls out his hands from his pockets under cop command, his jacket lifts and cops see a gun. They say "don't try to grab it" (or something like that) and when cop 1 approaches to him, he starts running.
So, even if this was a bit overkill (pun not intended), in a matter of 15-20 seconds, you have a guy that won't talk to you, has a gun on his waist and starts running away from you.
I think at most these cops should be suspended for some months with some rehab/training on de-escalating situations, being patient, learn how to deal.

Not convinced, for now I will remain with Notesnook. Pricing has a monthly option as well and it's cheaper (at least for me) than the usual 5 dollars most apps charge for. This one being yearly only (I was just checking their OFFICIAL website) is a big negative, even if it read my region as "Brazil" (which I'm not in) and the plan was 63 dollars vs the 90 dollars you showed for you. It's quite the difference.
The standard plan also shows as only having "plain text" but there is no description (or clear description) that it has at least markdown as well. I assume it doesn't. Notesnook is Markdown by default, if I am not mistaken.
Notesnook is ok. Is not the best and it's not perfect. It still needs work. I used Simplenote for its sync and crossplatform ease of use for a long time back in the day, but a while ago, I had the need for a "simplenote on steroids". I was trying Notion, but the AI, the menus popping everytime you put in a / or an @ etc makes it too convoluted and annoying. And I need to take notes hassle free during live calls. I can't be dealing with a bunch of that stuff. I went ahead and paid (1 month) of the Obsidian Sync. That worked just fine, no issues there. That is when I discovered (through a recommendation from Reddit user) Notesnook. Overall, it looked as complete as the others and in some cases better than Joplin and the rest.
Like I said it needs work, for example, the UI. That said, for having notes taken and pinning them and having them be saved... I've had 0 problems so far. Including the phone sync as well.
And their free plan has everything I need for now, so that is saving me money as well. Might take a look and see if I can donate to them at least.

And who wouldn't? As a regular person, how can you not have a hard time parting ways with someone that has been in your life for 5-10-15 years and shared many many experiences?
People say "addiction", "copium" because they think of the game as a product (and the product it was vs what it is), but they forget WoW itself, the game, did not become what it did because of the product by itself. It was the people, the events, the situations.
And I am someone who barely played it for maybe 5 months tops. Never liked the game. If you (whoever reads this) have ever had a difficult break up after years of good relationship, you'll understand what I'm talking about. And sadly, you can only "get better" and think about it differently when you're away from it for a long time, which is what makes it hard in the first place.

Please don't tag me as a h8tr J & crew, but I'd like to give a suggestion (POV I don't know you guys' workflow and editors work, so take what's useful). It might just be something personal, or some braindead symptom of following Linus (joke) but I feel 15 minutes (or less) would be a nice mark for reviews.
Again, I don't know how you guys are working but I assume Phil has to sit there and listen to you talk (even if he can scrub through faster) and check where it would be correct to cut or put on the slides. Maybe if you had some really junk pre-planning like 5 to 10 bulletpoints on a paper that you can read to go from "point to point" would make the end result much more dynamic and faster overall for everyone.
And then, if there is a logic, advice, question, etc. or anything that merits these nuances and comparisons and whatnot that could warrant for a longer talking head video, then that should be one. I like those too. But I often times find myself clicking on something like this to know what you guys think/have experienced and I sigh because it's generally avg 20 minutes.
I don't mind watching hours long videos. I listen to 2.5 hour long podcast interviews or watch 1 hour long cities skylines build videos. The length isn't really the issue, just the type of video/format on which things get extended.
Keep up the great work regardless!
This one is for free, next one I'll charge you 5 dollars. 😆

I am as tired as anybody of all the trans and LGBTQ signaling bs. However, I'd like to point out that while the bathroom interaction could be removed and still be the same effect, the ideas on how that person were seeing themselves or interacting and falling apart into different pieces, not knowing what is going on / what they are, is pretty damn good.
Whenever you're making an audiovisual piece, in your head everything makes sense and you can explain everything... and that is why usually it fails. You wouldn't need to explain anything at all. If you need to explain, it wasn't done well (generally speaking, there are exceptions maybe). And whenever you need to represent thoughts and emotions through visual, no dialogue no nothing, is VERY hard to do. It's something really difficult to convey. So putting all the garbage aside, I wanna congratulate the people who thought of that.
Not the bathroom part though, like I said, remove the child and the effect is still the same. Or maybe place them somewhere else, not 1 on 1 in a bathroom.
Edit: Something else... while a lot of us think "Disney = kids", there is a TON of adults that like Disney, so it's really hard to have a line on saying "No, disney is for kids". Especially women. Both Disney and Harry Potter have a huge fanbase of grown women. My gf (30) loves disney (though she is very upset with the current state of affairs as she feels they keep ruining things over and over). And you can see a ton of women, even elderly women going to Disney for the first time and being super happy. It's not the "park" part, because you could go to any good/big park for that matter. They go to Disney specifically.
So, while I am not defending that utterly garbage piece of shit company... It is a good question to have on how/when would these people be allowed to tell their stories. I guess the end point is, we all know Disney as "something for kids" (or most of us think of it that way), so Disney should keep that in mind whenever they do anything.

That was actually pretty fucking good. Good quality and production.
The scripting could use a little work. You said it yourself "more realistic if", which is the fun part of Twitch streaming, imo. They try to do it after with Nick and Malena fighting, but could've been placed somewhere else.
And then Miz wouldn't stop laughing.
Cyr, Esfand and you were great. And Rich is a fucking goddess cam whore. He knows it, you know it, I know it, everybody knows it.
The early shot was funny too. I can't remember what movie this happens, someone tries to count to 3 and the guy always fires before that.
Anyway, I'd give this a 8.5/10. It's like a 7 overall, but considering the production and editing, goes up to 8.5 imo because it's nice work. And overall if all of you are happy with it is what matters.

I just finished listening to Nico Rosberg's interview to Toto Wolff. And the main take from that is "if you're poor, you care about having. If you're rich, you care about purpose". I recommend anyone who wants to listen to a very talented and wise man say some stuff.
Bringing that up here, I make the connection on the part of Destiny talking about his Cuban side of the family. Cuba is shit. Despite of what many people try to tell you, if it were such a paradise, everyone would go there. Not as bad as Cuba, but here in South America, a lot of people struggle and it's both cultural and economical. As Dr K said it's completely reasonable and understandable they think that way even if it's quite dumb. But it's because they are not used to looking back over their shoulder and be able to choose to go to the 2nd bathroom in the house. Or sometimes even be doubtful on deciding what meal they are having tonight for dinner, if any.
Had a recent fight with my mom over things over the last 18 to 20 years, and it ended with her saying she wasn't gonna change. Once I got that in my mind, I don't care anymore about any complaints or frustration. I mention this in relation to Destiny's question asking how would you approach or start the conversation with someone who is so set onto pursuing happiness as the acquisition of material things. My take on it is that sometimes you could try, but overall, the mindset of that person is set to always get more things, and often times due to their opportunities in the place they are in, their life decisions, ignorance on finance, etc. they're often times in a hole they can't get out of (several debts, or never finishing a project like a house, etc). That person is always going to put that in front, and say they aren't happy because they don't have money. They have yet to experience "the good life" and trying to get more money they get more than 1 job, thus reducing their life just to that and losing the ability to have time for themselves. "I don't have time to exercise", so on and so forth.
It's not until they are truly defeated by the fact when they realize that the pursuit they were on didn't yield good results and they are still feeling like shit. Whenver they are conscious and stop caring so much about having things (aka they don't give a fuck anymore and they stop trying as hard), that is the opening to let them see that all that spent time was somewhat of a waste or badly managed.

My natural hair is so thin is like Preach's but without the bald spot on the back lol
Instead I have a big receiding hairline like Asmon. I shaved completely last year. Hairline was still noticeable but I also discovered I have a really cute round skull, as weird as that may sound.
So I don't care anymore lol. If I ever have money I'll try the growth oils. Not the fake ones but the legit ones. Balding happens because of a hormone, as far as I know (and it happens in men and not much in women obviously), so if by then there's something I can take, I'll do it. But no transplants. I rather stay shaved at that point even though is kind of shit bc sun fucks you up and cold does as well.
PS: Asmon, your hair does NOT look that bad. You just need a good haircut. And the grease is bc of your skin and environment where you are. Before I moved where I am now, in the city, I had to wash my hair everyday or at least every other day. More than that and it was like butter. Disgusting. And I wouldn't do anything besides existing. Now out here with this shit ass water you can't even drink, it dried my skin and scalp and so my hair stays clean much longer. However, for the most people that don't have a butter factory in their scalp, this water kills their hair and skin lol.

I understand the sentiment in the first part of the video and agree somewhat but I feel it leaves out the nuance of the inherent problem of this game or these projects.
Minecraft is a generic name, clearly on purpose. It's an 8 bit block looking world game, you have mines, you craft. Mix them. The end. I don't wanna sound too South American but... Minecraft is the videogame equivalent to "basketball" or "football" XD imo. Like it doesn't have identity either. What happened was it became the most popular game ever (more or less than Tetris, I can't remember).
So for the FOSS one, they are tackling not just a genre but basically an IP. And there is no way around that. Like for example if you wanted to do a school of magic... wow "a wizardy school". Where did we hear that one before? Well no, HOLD ON. This isn't Harry Potter... this is a bit more traditional, classical fantasy stuff. Dragons and... no, hold on, it's NOT LORD OF THE RINGS. Ok what if we make it in the future instead? I SWEAR IT'S NOT STAR WARS MAN, SHUT UP.
Of course I'm joking and there are ways you can take certain things from these and not make it the same, but at some point or another, there are going to be overlaps just because of how massive and encompassing these IPs already are. Same for Minecraft which for this case, is basically "the only game" in that genre (it's not, but when you consider the nuance of popularity... it's basically the only one). And if it sounds like a duck, walk like a duck and looks like a duck... it's a duck.
The rebrand is pretty good itself, but to be honest it's just a made up name. It could be anything else and it could be just as good, just for the fact that it goes away from the "block", "mine" and "craft" part - which in turn also makes any other made up name generic. It is a short name, if it picks up people will remember (maybe) but is not catchy to the point where "it makes sense". At the same time, to give credit to them, there is a trillion dollar cunt company that is just called "Fruit". Picking a name is pretty damn hard.
[edit: had just woken up and the above and below paragraphs kinda contradict each other and thought it was funny so I leave it this way instead of making it better]
For how hard this would be, Luanti is pretty fucking good imo but like I said, unless you read the explanation, it does sound like a made up word. It also could've been any fancy word as the name of one of the precious metals or minerals in the game or in the (real) world. Because why not. "Lazuli" is as short and samey as "Luanti", to an extent. With the explanation, I prefer Luanti of course.
And looking at the thing today, as a "platform" not just a game... it went from "we're testing minecraft" to "we're becoming roblox"? Again, not bashing the contributors for this one but it proves my previous point. It's now a platform, it has a ton of things being worked on and games being made on it, etc... that's Roblox (as far as I know).

I disagree with the DRM and anticheat thing because if you think about it, we already have cheaters. Massive cheater problem. So I'd much rather not have DRM hurting performance in games and anti cheats being stupid.
Louis, if you told my mother she can only install Windows on her laptop, she'd say "oh, ok". Not because she doesn't care, but because she doesn't know. She does not know how to click an X to close out the image viewer on Bing, despite her being able to intubate you to save your life with her eyes closed. It's ironically funny.
Also, why not just call it "FUTO License" if the license for "commercially allowed open source" doesn't currently exist? Just put the name of the company since you're the ones creating it?
Telegram gained market because it was FREE no paid anything before and it worked super well, it had many features that WhatsApp didn't have and even the ones that both had, Telegram sometimes had it better. Same for stickers, etc.
Nowadays, at least for us here, Telegram audio messages take ages to load/download amongst other problems and you have all the premium paid features.
Also, in the beginning, people believed Telegram to be "Good and secure", more than "the evil WhatsApp owned by Facebook/Meta" but in reality it's not really.

It's correct to assume or point out about the race similarities and the "reality basis" that they've been created upon.
However, I'm not sure if this would be one of the fallacies but doing so kind of puts you in the situation of "fantasy created cultures appropriate real culture". It's like an appropriation of appropriation. It's really weird.
For example, and this is just an example, in Shaman King you have "The Icemen", 3 nordic guys (2 guys 1 girl) that use spirits from Norsk mythology (afaik). Like one of them is a viking. And they've trained and endured "harsh frozen enviornments" before going to the tournament. Is this good or is this bad? Is it appropriation? Is it lazy? Is it stereotypical to say "Oh, nordic! Must be frozen! ICE HAHA".
I am legitimately asking because I think, basing things on other things, you inherently also get a "set" of negatives that will be used against it. So for example, a race in a game that is nature-based, at some point or another, if you want to create a conflict, it will look like environmentalists or hippies fighting for the land. And I'm not saying this despectively. As Asmon said, it could be any race.
Or a structured race or faction, like the Empire in SW can be seen as Nazis as well. And as humans we can't create things we don't know about, unless it's that extra-fantasy step of monsters and such but even then it has a basis on what we already know. Giant dogs, 6 legged creatures, squid/octopus like, etc. Or even mixing things, it has parts of things we know and are real.
So I don't think at any point you can "get out" of these limitations, the problem is people getting upset by it as if it were real life, and the 2nd issue would be the writers or creators/directors, how did they portrayed these races and how did they tell their story and success and struggles?

This is a SHIT situation, hands down. However, and I'm not trying to downplay it here, it's crazy to me you can go out to Walmart and buy a modem, lol.
Like you can go and buy routers here, but the modem (which is also a wifi router a lot of times, 2x1) is given by the company. So if shit breaks, you need to call and wait for them to set an appointment for the company guys to go.
From when you call or talk to them in social media, it usually takes about 2 weeks. Then, they say "Hey, the guys are going to be there... BETWEEN 8AM AND 2PM". So yes, you have to be stuck at home for that amount of time waiting for them. And they can go at any hour. Sometimes even a bit past that hour. And pray to god your doorbell didn't break or they press the right one. A lot of times they don't even leave the paper notice that they've been there. So you have to reschedule.
It's so (not) funny. But glad you got it working.
And yeah I still have an IBM KB8926. That is the keyboard I use, it works like a fucking charm and tricks every dumbass on voice comms that is a mechanical keyboard. And my tension stabilizer is some national old brand idk if they're still operating. Works like a fucking charm and I actually use it to know if there's low tension in general when people turn on a lot of heaters or pool pumps (or if there's a lot of people using electricity illegally).

"Which is true, but is said in the context of the under representation of women in the government, which implies what exactly?".
I've watched a couple of your videos, the earlier ones (shorter, I admit) to kind of get an idea of the vibe of your content. I had a lot of fun with "The Left". It was really funny and overall your production quality is too big for YouTube. I'm glad you're getting Ms of views as the length and work put into making such videos (films even), specially for one person, is a lot. So I'm glad with the fact that it doesn't go unnoticed and you're right there on top at quality with other great creators that make the content that I think deserves to be in front, rather than that one horrible Jimmy Fallon segment or whatever. But I digress. Point is, kudos to you.
Now, I have to also clarify I am dumb. I'm not nearly as intelligent as you or Mr Peterson. I can't retain shit. I have forgotten a lot of things I've been taught in school. I always "think for myself" and critically, or I try to, but it's always with the on-going wheel of acquiring the information. And English is my second language which don't pose a major problem overall, if the speaker is clear or what's trying to be said is clear like him or even yourself, but some "disturbances in the Force" happen sometimes, with some misconception or meaning of a word that I am confused about which can change the meaning of something in the end. I say all this to leave the door open and admit if necessary that I may be less than qualified to even have an opinion on this.
So, from the dumbass perspective, what I gather from your cited examples is that, if I understand correctly and going by what Jordan has said in general, the point of the differences between men and women come to light into the argument of personal decision and how according to the studies he talks about, show that perhaps women tend to have a lower % of subjects (meaning, the subjects in the selection pool, not that women are subjects, please don't kill me) actually capable of the entire work to be done, and how to do it. Of course, this is just one part. One component, as he said himself. We can have a talk whether or not the "history of men always getting the spot" may have or may have not skewed that a bit.
This whole thing gets worse, when the other person interjects on what you're saying constantly and brings up different shit to the mix which you have to decide to let go and go back to the basic point (which could lead to misunderstanding and/or worse, misrepresentation that you "backed out of it") or take into account each point, to try to "clear" any of those potential misunderstandings or misconceptions the other person may have which made them bring those points, in that particular way, in the first place. In this case, Cathy, and as I've said before not possible to know whether it's for ill intent or actual incompetence on her part (meaning, she didn't know or she did on purpose), kept as you said yourself, misrespresenting/misunderstanding what he was trying to say constantly. That causes a lot of "noise" in a debate and it's really hard to keep the point clear of any confusing and on the center of a discussion. It happens to me all the time, although again leave the door open for my own mistakes and lack of skills at expressing myself. But I often time feel that majority of people (regardless of their ideology/political isle) have this very big problem of not being able to look at things "as they are" instead of tying them and mixing them with whatever perception they have of it (and opinions) as well as things in the past or the future.
Some people (funnily and coincidentally enough, Philosophy people, at least the ones I heard of - I don't think is good or bad, just a funny remark) say this "mixed up term" of his is just bs. And the arguments given, specially by you, were quite sound and solid. Like I said, I'm dumb, I don't know (nor remember if I was ever taught this) what modernism or post modernism is. So I have to take your word for it. At the same time, I don't disagree with his general take. We can argue that it is a bit of "fearmongering" saying "this path will lead to this", but usually that is how history works or at least how we are taught about it. And I do remember being taught in history "these are the bad guys, these are the good poor victims" about important social issues happening here. Not ONCE was there an ounce of possibility that this other side was also putting bombs in places and blowing innocent people up. And so in regards of the bill, his main issue was not that he has to call you "she" or Natalie, or whatever you want to, in an interpersonal engagement. His issue was that is now being policed (sort of speak) by law, which is vastly different. We understand that there is a logical normal limit to things we should be able to say. Certain words in the past were fine, just as being gay was deemed a mental illness. Things change, thankfully some for good. But that is to say, with these people that never have enough and nothing ever is good enough, who is to say that this ruling can't change afterwards? And what is going to happen to people who don't abide by the rule of not saying a word? In my time it used to be that that person was just basically a dipshit and no one liked them. Now it seems (assuming a law would be in place in addition to the identity politics done by the institutions, INCLUDING since I was in school 15 years ago, meaning I bet they've always have been a thing by certain parties) that you can basically lose your job, have your life destroyed or maybe at some point they could go to prison. So I think it's fair to ask: Will they put in prison all the black people calling each other one of the bad words? It would be fair, following the rule guidelines, wouldn't it?. Hell, even I was taught in school by the geography teacher about eskimos. Did you know that now eskimo apparently seems to be a derogatory term?. Would I say that teacher was a bastard? Not at all, she was really nice. I hated her but for different reasons, lol. But like I said, things change and now what it used to be isn't anymore, or what it wasn't, is. And the whole problem for him, the way I understand it, revolves about the fact that is a never changing policy, which sounds good, but it changes almost arbitrarily and drastically all the time, quite subjectively, which brings other problems.
I'll end it here because is already too long, even though you won't read it. The video is too old. My conclusion would be that it would be FANTASTIC if you did a video with him or came on his podcast to talk about all this, 1 on 1. I think you're one of the few people actually capable and intelligent enough to be on the same level as him, while not necessarily on the same side.

"In a way it feels it comes out of left field".
Literally.
See you mentioned The Blaze, and there's some people there that I follow that >I THINK< do a good diligent job of telling the truth or at least making arguments with clear sources (posts, videos, interviews, investigation papers, etc). Now I put the remark on "think" because what I think is not an objective real truth. So now you could be sued by them, for spreading alleged misinformation and they would be in their entire right to do so - whether or not they win you could see that later if you can prove that what you said is factually correct.
And the same could be said for some left-wing media. I am sure that out there, there's some that regardless of their ideas, are a bit more truthful than say CNN. But both will try to "uncover the truth" and dispute "the lies" of the other side if there's some mistake in what's being reported by them.
And what if you go by actual facts? Statistical empirical data? There's a bunch of things that, in raw numbers, side with the opposition. It just sounds bad and heartless and awful and they don't want it. But they are not removing these people who say it's wrong for misinformation. They still let them spread their ideas.
And what about "the experts"? Some "experts" who were on the opposite side of the popular opinion regarding, well, usually anything, are cast aside and cut out. Are they not experts? Does their title not mean anything compared to the rest? Are they in "cahoots" with corporations and shit? Are the others NOT entangled with corpo?
You literally can't "think for yourself" and "Look at things realistically". A lot of famous/popular scientists now in the last years also have become very radical and progressive. But because their name is recognizable and they are popular, people listen to them.
Who says their professional expert opinion is better or more accurate than the others (if the others have arguments and data to back it up). After all, like you said, none of us have the professional degree to debate whether or not they lie or don't know things, and at the same time we can't know if they aren't fucking us over.
And I feel you don't realize that to some degree, you are doing the same. You are still a means of "media outlet" and you are still giving some kind of "message". For the hillbilly right wingers you're saying "emotional foxy people are dumb and crazy" and for leftists you're saying that "all trumpers are dumb and uneducated". But not because you want to manipulate all of us or anything, it's just inherent in speaking out your opinions. And that's GOOD. Everyone should speak out whether they're pro capitalism or a communist. Everyone should have the floor and information should be taken with skepticism and facts in hand and if they don't do that, then it's on them. All this "misinformation" shit going around and people still have no fucking idea / no responsibility for anything. So it's useless and it's just pandering and to censor the ones that say something they don't like.
And overall the ruling is vague so they can change it on the fly and decide arbitrarily when and when not to enact it. Facebook and Twitter already did this. And so did YouTube, one of the worst ones.

"I hate starting the month with a debby downer type style video"
Debby Downer 2021.
All jokes aside, I think you've made A LOT of both entertaining and super fun content as well as educational, and at no point (even though people in the AMD subreddit have said this, which kept me away from subscribing lol) looks like you have bad intentions or you're "in" on something.
Personal opinion, but I think everyone who is "complaining" about your content in "the current situation" needs a reality check. I feel they have other issues going on, just like the fact they can't cope with the situation as a whole as they should, so they find something they think is worth complaining about.
Even PRE covid, money, inflation, shortages/availability was a problem for me. For us I should say in South America. Or us in SA AND Australia/NZ sometimes (I know those guys have it hard too). So what? Do you have to re-do your entire channel because you talk about things we can't get here? If anything, this situation is actually the most fair one we've had in a long long time because is not the result (generally speaking) of a couple of bad actors deciding that for example imports are going to be 50% extra therefore your country gets shit on and lacks availability. This is a worldwide shortage. And it sucks. But it sucks for everyone equally (again, generally speaking).
I can't understand how some people can't understand the idea that you're doing content on what you can and not necessarily what you want because your hands are tied just as much as the rest of us.
I understand people's concerns, but what I don't understand is how they don't understand that is not that you're selectively covering "high end things that no one gets". No one gets it because it isn't there, for anybody. Or maybe there are things you've had in store for months or more now and you never reviewed it because XYZ and now the video is made because there's nothing else going on.
I understand your POV as well.
All in all, these are people who are going to bitch about stupid shit. If it isn't this now, is something else tomorrow. And now society has gone even crazier being locked up and having to consume so much media. I don't think what you're experiencing now is random or because of "tech". They just can't find something else to spend their time on and just enjoy things for what they are.
I also want to say that I don't watch your videos regularly, because the bell isn't on. And I check my feed all the time but now shorts also appear there from channels, it's all clogged. I remember sometimes "Oh what is Jay doing?" and binge like 5 or 6 videos in a row to kind of catch up. I also like your news/data reporting on trending issues (like with NW). But all in all, I enjoy your channel's content for what it is (silly dad humor with tech?) and I don't expect you to go outside of that because it'd be silly. It works fine this way.
That said, I don't think you should've mentioned Mr Beast, regardless of anything. That's YouTube for you and the "common people" watching random "fun" stuff over and over, rather than committing to learn. Tech is also niche already in comparison to say idk fashion or nail polish or football or whatever.
I personally would like to see cleaning pc content with no tools or minimal tools. I know we have WD-40 but I don't know how much is worth both in price and in value. So I just try to clean fans with a piece of cloth. But what do I do with the stuck dust/dirt on the other components? The place I am in is insanely dirty. So that'd be cool. And dives on "why a UPS or stabilizer would save your PC".

For X or Y reason, to an extent, many of us are degenerates and borderline animals. That is why we relate to Asmon. One thing I feel differentiates him and others (like me) from the rest, is that, we came to the understanding of the meaning of our actions and what we chose or choose to do. We weigh in the pros and cons of everything, what's happened and what could happen and we either choose to do, or not to do. And we're ok with it.
Economic freedom is certainly something that plays a major role, but as we can see through videos (literal proof), he's been like this forever. He just happened to be smart enough (and somewhat lucky) to have his stream take off and live off of it. But even if that didn't happen, he would've been ok to not own things and keep doing the same thing. He probably would've gotten really upset if he had to give up wow. But when you listen to him you realize he's not a fucking idiot (generally speaking).
The problem majority of people have, and you can see how chat reacted to what he was saying, is that they think the rails of life are grow up, finish school, go into uni to get a job, so on and so forth. Can't blame them! The educational system, and depending on your generation your parents as well, shape you up like that. That is why so many people today that are 30-50 years old are unhappy with their life. They might be ok with it, but it's not something truly fulfilling. And then in turn, because they are fucking upset about it that goes down to the young ones. So now you have 15-20 years old and feel depressed as fuck, with no real direction or idea of they want to do. You can't blame them either. The previous gen wasn't conscious enough of its failures to properly guide the new one, perpetuating the issue.
I had things happen to me along the way as well, growing up basically in a divided house(s) full of hate. I can list plenty of things that were fucking shit that made me who I am today. However, all the L's I've got, in the end, are my responsibility. Sure, things play a part in them, both good and bad. But ultimately it always comes down to personal choice. Once you acknowledge that, you'll start getting better, more secure and happier.
In simple: "Oh I chose this 10 years ago beecause everyone told me to so I was kinda forced into it". Yes, yes you were. Now stop being a little bitch and own up to it. Solve it or make it better. End it if it's bad for you. There's no amount of complain that will make time go back and revert it.
"You won't ever fly fast enough to make time stand still. Stop, listen and learn".
PS: If you got banned tomorrow it would be really really sad. You're one of the best.
OR... you could stream on YT and join Doc, lol.

That will be the ideal thing if unions at some point weren't controlled and managed by people who are evil and hypocrites, get in potential cahoots with the government and then take your country to a halt.
If a union is managed by someone good, with good people in it, things will be fine. They will just demand better working conditions and that is it. But that is not how it ends up being in the end.
Also, assuming that happens in an ideal world, a lot of restaurants will have to either fire people or just close for not being able to sustain. And/or all the prices in consequence will go up. And in the case many independent restaurants close, you'd only have big chains up who in turn will also be corrupt and dictating the prices and the market. And that is an on going never ending circle. Higher taxes, so you need to up the price but also the salary, so you need to up the price again. Since you're earning so much again, more taxes.
I'm not saying the workers don't deserve an established salary or good working conditions, on the contrary. But that's where I'm getting at, to have that you need stability at your job, and that is given by the stability of the business. Otherwise, you'd already be working somewhere else.

It's simple: The mmo game, company and devs are the government and the players are the private sector.
This is why the base content is served as a foundation, and then you have a plethora of different players creating content from it. Good and bad. You get guilds like this Abominations guild doing insane RP, you get a brothel or whatever or you get fucking scammed and things get stolen. Or spawn-camped at low level. Or some high level master of BIG DICK SWORDS sees you, helps you, and when realizing you're a nice bro (even if you have tits) they're like "ight, i won't use this anymore, take it" and gifts you some gold or medium-leveld decently good item, which is kinda shit, but to us is like omg this shit is FLAME ima kill every mob with this! (later we don't, but we love dying over and over wearing the gifted armor of our new found mentor and friend).

I wish he would explain sometime how would UBI work for him. Like the whole theory, steps to make it happen, steps to put it in place with a system that isn't going to go down in like 2 months, steps to prevent freeloaders to get the UBI and then still go out and mug or scam other people, etc.
As far as I'm concerned in basic logic monetary theory of the trading market (with currency), it doesn't work. It hasn't worked before and never will.
The fat topic he's correct. This is actual objective science, medical stuff. No way around it and every fat person that keeps trying to normalize obesity is wrong. That's why later on they have heart problems, artery problems, can't move, joint issues, diabetes, etc.

You are not petty Louis, I would do the same if I were you. Or I guess that makes 2 petty guys? haha. But I bought the family plan.
I won't translate to dollars, but just by the numbers you can get a sense of it. For Directv with some movie/channel packs and football (soccer), I think here they pay 13k to 15k a month. For YT Family premium plan... IT WAS 178. They increased the price "a lot" in one swoop from 178 to... 700. Not my parents, but my brother and I do watch a lot of YT and even if I could do without it and not pay them considering the platform isn't great in many aspects, there are other people that use it. So we probably won't stop paying it, it's just too good of a deal. And cable sucks ass (Directv satellite included).
Edit: I disagree with you on one thing, and is about the advertising. I mean I do agree that is BS, and I too grew out of it. I grew out of watching tv altogether as well, let alone news, etc. But most people don't have the time or energy to fight all of that/ they are just not like us. We're actually outside the norm. So that's where the power of advertising shines. Is not so you think "Oh wow, this product is amazing, I'll buy it!". It's just so you SEE IT and remember about it later. Later could be hours, days, weeks or maybe months later. You will need idk a fucking sponge, and while looking through the shelves on the supermarket you see different brands, you see the prices and you see that one with the quirky funny ads that make you laugh and you think "Oh is not that much more expensive, fine, I'll try it!" and if the product is good enough, you'll stick with it. That's how they get you in most cases.

I disagree with the distro take. Because unlike Windows and Mac, Linux has the ability to "put on some tuxedos" (get it?). DE (desktop environments) are suits. You can dress your penguin as you like. And that is what you learn about Linux after a while. You can do anything and everything, if you're set to do it. You also learn that every distro you try is a dumb distant cousin or a twin sibling, and they are all children or grandchildren of Debian, Arch or Fedora maybe (minus independent distros). So at that point, this means you can have 1 upstream distro (any of the 3) and put anything you want on it, for the most part.
The distro part is GOOD in the sense that if you need an audio production machine, and you personally (like me) don't know code or how to do/write stuff, you couldn't properly install pipewire instead of pulse by yourself, for example (Like CTT did to solve DaVinci Resolve's issues).
But overall you don't need so many "variants". In fact, that is how we have the market of phones and pc parts today and it's crazy.

You missed some nuanced key aspects. Nothing of what you said was wrong really, and I partially agree with everything (even I didn't know about the demo of the interactive tiles! That's awesome).
For example, having to "learn the place of the button" is a silly remark when it's been years now that both Android and iOS have pushed "gestures" which personally for me are freaking garbage. I understand that other people love it and find it much quicker, comfortable and nice, but I personally don't like it. I like my dedicated buttons for a specific task. So in that sense, having an extra step/button for a specific thing is not a problem for people to learn. And you said "why not open the app?" I 50% agree with this because I am the same in that front. However, there are cases where opening the WHOLE APP is much slower, takes time loading, opens everything, etc. With a widget or interactive tile you can do your task right there. The problem is that as far as I know, is never done "perfectly". So for example WhatsApp widget is (for me) uncomfortable, and sometimes when you reply directly from a widget or a notification bar (on Android), it doesn't get updated that you replied. The notification still there, same for Discord. There IS a use case, is just the implementation of this overall has been bad.
And one last thing you overlooked about Live Tiles vs Widgets: Widgets consume a lot of resources. Granted today we have good enough phones that maybe even cheaper phones can use the system no issue. But 10 years ago that was not the case, and that was one of the key features and fresh air that Windows Phone brought. The Lumia 520 was literally the "grandma gift". It had big bright colors, easy to use controls (overall) and the system worked just fine with a cheap phone with low performance chips. It was sort of baked into the system which in comparison to Android at the time, it was "miles ahead" in system resources efficiency.
Then you remark about not finding the obscure app you rarely use. I am someone who rarely changes a homescreen once is "perfect" for me and my use. If I need something else, I go to the list/drawer. And that's what I did with WP and that is what I do on Android. The issue of not finding the app still happens to me when I have to look for that rare app on the full list. So I wouldn't PIN THAT (pun intended) as a fault of Live Tiles.
The comment about the Live Tiles not updating properly all the time is 100% true. That was one of the things that wasn't great and they should've worked on it much more. I did like using live tiles on Windows 10, sort of. But yes, them not working great was a medium-to-big issue imo that would deter other people, especially coming from something so streamlined as iOS.

She gets to sit in a couch having fun and cursing out and literally inviting people to fight her physically. I wonder where does she get her money from?
I just want all of these people to create their own studio. No money from ActiBlizzard, EA or anything like that. With your savings or a loan, create your own studio, Alyssa, and show us. Prove that you can make a diverse game, from scratch, without using any rehash IP, with a new studio that is a good game, and I feel that would be a pretty good statement. Otherwise you're just a retard.
And yes, a "smaller indie game" counts as well in the beginning, but at some point you will have to make an AA or AAA game and try to make it award winning (WITH the public liking it, of course - paying off reviewers doesn't count).
These people and communists man, always fucking around in other people's stuff. They never do it themselves.

I know this is an important matter right now but...
Are we not going to talk about those pony tails?
Also, I'm South American, so it doesn't matter since I can't vote but I do think Trump is going to win again because of a "silent majority" and I also HOPE he wins.
That said, I am reserved about the man's character. Watching his rallies... I love it. It's A FANTASTIC SHOW. But that's when I realize he's a showman. He does not have the poise to be president (2nd debate Trump version was SO GOOD. And the last town hall... that's the man that should be all the time!). Again, this is my opinion, you could or could not care and that is fine. Also, from the "debates", I haven't heard him nor Pence give in-depth specification about healthcare plan and they did not touch DACA once. This goes beyond whether you agree or not with the policies or like or not the current systems. It's to show a candidate should give solid background and explanation for their future plans. All the rest, I agree with Donaldo. And again, as a South American, the left is the same everywhere. So I don't even need him to tell me the dems are going to fuck the country up. It's already happening and hey, corrup socialist politicians have fucked up the southern part of the continent already.
Even then Kamala is crazy and seems a bit stupid with the last "equality vs equity" video she posted. Pelosi, Cuomo... smh and poor Joe, like ACTUALLY THE POOR OLD MAN, he can't connect 2 thoughts.
If Trump wins, the left is going to put all their resources to overthrow him. That's how I feel. The problem and the great thing about USA, the best country in the world, is that you have balls and guns, unlike the rest of us who have been stripped from any form of self defense thanks to human rights and all that shit. So brace yourselves for a fight.
Another problem that is not minor that I see is that progressive radicals are on the left. But dumbass (sometimes poor or uneducated) rednecks are on the other side too. Neither of these groups provide actual productive results to calm down the civil unrest and/or try to actually solve the potential problems that exist, tackling them from the corresponding POVs.
And I called this on Twitter earlier today, Biden is going to be thrown like a piece of used cloth after 2 months of the election if he wins and Kamala will be in power. 25th amendment is the same for us and I would assume similar or same for any other western country with a P and VP.
And last but not least, I say this. Whatever you think of masks, that's something stupid. Like if I your dad makes you wear pants, you wear them and that it's. Suck it up. I know it's not the same and this is the government, etc. but if there's a mandate of something so simple for health and you're complaining, you are being dumb. There are much worse, and trust me, much worse things than having to wear a mask, like destroying your entire economy and in 20 years your kids will be suffering it. When you look at real issues a dumbass mask mandate is something you shouldn't care about.

Mr Peterson was spot on and funny saying "short of his assassination".
But the host is mistaken if he thinks that Joe Rogan and Elon Musk can suddenly come up with a YouTube competitor. Unless... define "competitor". Is a competitor evenly matched? Or just oin the same grounds of fighting? I can be proven wrong, maybe I am mistaken, I just don't see it happening.
However, if Rumble keeps picking up and suddenly Joe Rogan joins there, that's a different story. Specially since I saw Rubin's Locals joined Rumble, if I'm not mistaken.
The alliances, if they last, will be powerful against YouTube. Not a new company in the field.
And even then, this is also shortsighted because not everyone cares about politics or Joe Rogan (myself included). There's an infinite amount of stuff that youtube does and has that is, for now, virtually impossible to compete with.
And at that point, you are much better investing for real into a couple of servers and setting up your own paid website with your content, your extras and your merch. That way you don't depend on someone else. Meanwhile use YouTube as exposure.

I know it's "his transmog comps" but this is why I don't like the comps in general. He doesn't have any guidelines or ruleset (and no, saying "make your set not suck" is not valid) to abide with and have like a direction of where you want it to go or what you'll be looking after in a set to consider it a winner.
I have to be honest, in my opinion, and as much as I was weirded the fuck out about this set (like imagine having this guy next to you with that cock face on his crotch), this was indeed a WINNER WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER.
It would be cool if for this "season" of T-mog comps there was some guideline and not just personal opinion. Like trying to understand lore/character bg if the set means something in that regard, or specify is just based on pure looks, therefore the best matching ones (not the prettier) will score more points and even more if they use different parts.
And yes, I know I said "not just his opinion" and I gave mine in the middle (and this comment as a whole). But what I see in this set is an actual idea being represented. The idea of C0CK, obviously. And it's not JUST for the dick piece. Like actually there's a "full set idea" going on, some sort of sub-gimpish dude with the cock mask on his dick. And then the colors match, he even is a troll with his ugly giant feet and the hair and the tusks. He has blue skin. It just goes so well, and then the mount. He's like some sort of sex-dom wow police. I dig it. It matches, it goes together, colors match, it's certainly an idea... and it's fun.
How can you say THIS is one of the worst ones ever when some people literally came in with 1 different piece of anything and all of them were different colors? They looked exactly what they are: CLOWNS. It was a clown costume, all yellow and the different colored parchments. Like Ronal McDonald met Microsoft Windows. But this guy stands out. He certainly stands out above anything in life lol.

AI today is that one girl in American Idol or X factor or whatever that literally copied Pink.
Nothing more, nothing less. It's a tool. It's like a gun. You can have fun with your kids shooting at flying plates or you can shoot someone else and become a criminal.
Besides that, I agree to an extent on "the consequences" of streaming platforms but I personally love it. I can pay a not so crazy fee to Tidal to listen to the bands I like over and over and even if a little, support them, instead of pirating the album because buying the 15 albums some bands would have, the "limited editions", bonus track songs and the rest would times all the bands or artists that you listen to would be crazy amounts of money. Let alone if we needed like before a machine to reproduce that (like the cassettes or CDs eras).
I don't know how much an original CD costs today, but if we had to buy those it would equate to us for about 10 to 15 liters of milk (since you made the example with the tap water). Depending on how much you drink and how many people are in your house, 1 liter could last you for about 2 or 3 days. Maybe more (again, depending). So imagine if you had to spend 10+ liters of milk for each album of each band/artist.
I personally love the idea that I can have "My music" and even new music! almost everywhere I go with a connection and across platforms.
At the same time, I HATE the idea that we can have that lmao. Because I know what it means. The Spotifys and Netflix of the world. I know it means being tied and dependent on them, they can change the ToS, region lock content, or simply "go down" and then we'd have none of that.
I used to have a time some time ago where I was saving movies because I felt those weren't going to be available in the future. And you know what I realized? That while that might be true... we only have a finite amount of time to live. So we can't be so hung up on things of the past, no matter how great they were.
For those who like and can preserve, I salute you and I thank you. But at the same time, I love moving forward and in search of that "new (actually great) thing".

Thank you Jay for this, sorry to hear yet another sponsor (EKWB, Asus, now NZXT...) from the channel is gone. We cannot thank you enough. People will say "well don't praise them for doing the right thing, duh" but it's a lot of money you won't have now and even if small, Phil, Nick (and maybe others) are the team and they have a salary you have to pay for, so on and so forth.
Like sure, you did what any decent human would do, but you could still not do it. So I thank you. Thank you, Steve, Louis Rossmann and everyone else who keeps us sane and having a high profile or public image, you still voice your concerns and keep it real.

I understand your point Louis, but I feel you're looking it through the lens of your personal experience, behavior and interests. If everyone was a logical masochist like you are, we wouldn't have right to repair issues, companies would be super productives, customers happy and so on. If people were logical in general, a lot of problems wouldn't be there. The thing is, they are not.
At the same time, good video quality, presentation, audio, thumbnails... all of that a lot of times captures attention. And there's this weird... I don't know if it's a "fallacy" or not, but this thing of "If your content is so good, why do you have only 500 subs?" and it makes it feel that is "yet another new channel of a wannabe tuber".
Yes, I agree with you 100% sub number doesn't matter, and maybe the content is AMAZING. But go and tell the rest of the people that. I don't even think they consciously think that way, is just "a thing" that happens. Also because YT (and the people) today is not the same as 10+ years ago where having 20k subs was a lot AND it mattered.
I know this wasn't your point or intention, but saying "you reminisce of the old yt all the time but you take action that goes against that!" is very similar to "If you were not stupid and got yourself into 3 loans, then you wouldn't be in debt" or whatever other example of many that you have cited on this channel such as "lmao don't complain about not having USB ports... you bought an Apple product! HA!". Again, I totally agree with you, and I am appreciative of you explaining your POVs and changing my mind on certain things. I stopped calling out people for "fucking it up" and instead started calling out companies for being shit. So that's a positive. However... don't you think this situation is similar or the same?
No one "normal", with their regular schedule, 8hrs+ work, family, etc. is going to sit through hours of content that "nobody watches" (I say this as a matter of fact, not in a derogatory way) to finally find the ones that matter, and they are rarely going to change from YouTube, which is a behemoth of a platform with a monopoly on video content (Not in the technical sense of the word, but practically speaking, at least in the West). I take this issue like the WhatsApp conundrum. I want to drop WhatsApp, Meta as a whole, in fact, but sadly people do use FB still, Instagram and WhatsApp is literally a bread and butter ever since a decade+ ago when we (Not indian btw) dropped SMS and used WPP instead. Now it comes bundled with cellular plans. That's how big and engrained it is in my country. How am I to say "Oh wait guys, use Telegram instead!" and then Telegram turned out to be not as good, started charging for premium, stopped working as well, the CEO got controversy... so then I should go "Oh no... wait guys! Start using Signal instead!" and then there's a couple of features that Signal doesn't have, or on some phones it doesn't work as well, or it has the "select your secure folder" thing which I bet 60% of regular users wouldn't understand what it means, so on and so forth... can't change that. However, I can still say "I remember when whatsapp wasn't shit". Same for Spotify. Thankfully I dropped that garbage years ago, a while after they started cutting off features and "focusing on mobile". I remember having a notification bell that would let me know about my followed artists, and after that was gone and the desktop version was still kind of shit, duplicating likes and such, I said I quit. Years later, it was found out that Spotify was much more shitty as a company than just some software features missing. Yet I can still say "I remember when Spotify wasn't complete garbage".
Then (last thing, I promise) you have "small channels" like you mentioned that are wholesome, funny, etc. and you support them because it feels genuine in a sea of ad-sold garbage and then suddenly they get their first sponsor... woo! We're all happy :D and... it's BetterHelp -_- . Or [insert the popular shit here that we know is shit]. There's a youtuber I follow since 7-8 years ago. I know about their family. Great father and husband, family guy. His family is beautiful and amazing, I've "seen" / know of their kids growing up so much in this time that they became teenagers! From being kids!... and I know his hardships and why he would need certain money to pay for certain things that have come as "emergency". One of his latest sponsors was... OperaGX. Should I say "sorry, I'm gone" and stop being his friend? He's one of the literal few that I give a pass on because of what I've mentioned above, however, technically speaking if we're honest I AM being selective and/or kind of a hypocrite, right?
I think I made my point, not sure if it makes sense or not but while I agree with you I don't think for the moment we have much choice and there are other situations that are just trickier. Of course, this is aside from the case itself of using sponsorblock because in that case they are getting themselves (sort of) in that situation.

Same, but not quite. My background is much different than reddit's OP, yet I have had the same issue. I've always been "against the current", much more critical, skeptical and always tried to have my own opinion or take on things. I found myself debating (with myself...) A LOT of times if I was just horrible or an idiot myself. I have discovered that on certain things I was, more specifically on how I approached certain things, but then with a broader look... that was the problem with me, not that I was stupid.
Plenty of times I doubted (and still do) myself, but then you go to instagram and see girls in outfits "dancing" to tiktok songs for 15 seconds, call that content and have 50k likes. Now, dancing in a video is not wrong, dancing to music is not wrong, and I am aware that likes don't mean shit, generally speaking. But it's the whole package and the idea that "people settle for this" or "think this is cool/funny". Like what are you, objective and effectively, looking at? Are you there to jerk off to the girl moving her hips? Is it because she's hot? Do you actually enjoy seeing this? Why this and not an actual performance with actual dancers that put in the work to make something incredible?. Why do they do it? Do they actually think is cute or cool? Or are they just grifting/taking advantage of an easy way into a market? We will never know, unless they tell you privately to your face.
I don't think I'm stupid, I don't think EVERYONE ELSE is stupid, because I knew and know some people that are fucking amazing. That said, I do think a lot of people are stupid. And I don't think for myself that I'm productive or smart either, I just know I have a lot of awareness and can explore the topics (any topics) from all the POVs presented if the participants are willing to do the same. But that is rare, exceptions I would say.
Almost everyone has their own beliefs and opinions, and they are usually one directional, which makes them what we call "close minded" and also, sometimes make them discriminatory, judgmental and/or aggressive towards you or the rest who think differently. And the cherry on top is that all of them truly believe that what they believe is correct. So is not that all of those people act out of malice. It's like there's some innocence within that stupidity.
OP Should take solace and comfort in knowing that he is, in his own way, so exceptional, that it's very very hard to find people that align to you. Which means that you are there to help those who truly want to be helped, truly listen to you and truly care about your thoughts and opinions.
I'm not some guru, certainly not a professional psychiatrist/psychologist, and I've had wrong encounters with majority of people I met in my life at one point or another. But those few times when they were in dire situations and asked for help, I was there. And the feedback it's usually along the lines of "wow, no one told me that this way" or something like that.
That said, if you truly want connections, you should be aware and know that you have to adjust yourself to fit the context. It's not necessarily lying or pretending, I think there's a difference. If you're actually a genuine person, in general, it will be very hard for you to pretend something completely opposite. But if you know you have to give up certain humor in certain circles, or not say certain things you think because you know it'll be a waste of time and stupid drama, etc. now you're not pretending or hiding or lying, you're basically in damage control so everything goes smoothly.
It's something somewhat ugly to say for most and it shouldn't be this way, and also sounds so interested. "Oh, you want no problems to get things out of people", but this selfishness only comes after you are self aware and deep in thought of what the origin of your intentions are. "Why do you want a friend?". For that matter, anything anyone does is "selfish", from that perspective. So it's either that, or just go live alone in the middle of the mountain. There's a lot of broken people, we could even say all of us have some broken piece in us, but there isn't many who are both broken and self aware enough to take things as they are, instead of personal. And now with the internet is much worse.
I guess it isn't not being "smart" for me, I am 100% open to the mistakes, no matter how silly or dumb, people make. It's just a lot of them always have an excuse or aren't humble/honest with themselves. And they aren't honest either about not fixing it or not doing it. That's why we have morbidly obese unhealthy people being in front of magazines as models for example, which is outstandingly ridiculous. And at the same time, everyone has a word to say for overweight people, but not a peep for underweight. (kinda like I'm doing right now, ironically enough, yet I am aware of that, conscious and I admit it, and truth is letting out my thoughts and throw them in a bottle into the internet ocean keeps me somewhat sane and healthy, at least thinking that maybe 1 person will see it and it helps them out. But it's also true some people will be completely against of what I just said here, some, half and half.

I actually realized today that I can no longer hold him up high. He willingly and knowingly accepted and made Matrix 4.
That is all that needs to be said. The guy didn't need the money, is not like he hasn't been in any movie since 20 years ago. He got the script, he read it, and he said "Oh my, this is fantastic!". Can't give that one for free. Already gave John Wick 3 for free.
Like don't get me wrong, ok? Keanu is a fucking god and I'd take him ANY DAY over almost anyone else, except Denzel Washington.
However, isn't it RIDICULOUS that one guy can "give away" 75 M dollars to "the crew"? That means that one guy earned X much more money than THE WORKING CREW in the movie.
Instead of giving it away, I would've founded my own production company with fair rates for everybody. After all, I could've funded it myself. Of course, he could've kept it all and not given away 1 cent. So it is fucking wholesome, but my point is, that's all it is. A wholesome tale of how Keanu is such a nice person, but doesn't go past that. Doesn't change anything.

Am I just completely ignorant? Because if I remember well enough the videos from last year which were kind of hilarious with the whole ordeal, at the end, I understood that you can't simply decide that your "open source" (as we've learnt yesterday from your fut...o video) can't be forked or have some restrictions, however, after they tried to do that to her, I felt it was understandable for her to put her foot strong and tell them "if you're so good, make your own" which they did... sort of. They did forking hers. So it is kinda funny.
I mean, I care 0 about this because it doesn't affect me, since I just deal with MSI stupid shenanigans. But from the outside looking in it's very funny and I side with her, even if "technically speaking she's doing the wrong thing".
Edit: Also hilarious that the mails look like from 2002 and the website and links as well. Put some color and design to that guys, stop fighting.

So, I bought a Ttake 600W non certified (I think) open-box TR2 PSU back in 2013. It started dying a month and a half ago. I don't know if that model is low budget tier or lower medium tier, but that lady was strong af. Now I got a smart RGB 600W. I hope for another 8 years, lol.
And 2020, coming from a guy who ran HDDs for the longest time, if you don't get an SSD you're an idiot. Sorry to say it like that, but it's just necessary. With Windows, at least. Also, forget about boot times. If you're playing and your system decides to do a superfecth, your HDD will crawl and you'll be having fps drops as well. You can get a cheap WD Green SSD like i did. It's not the best, but on the lower end is one of the most reliable brands and models.

I see Asmon and Dr.K, I press like and take it to favs. Haven't been watching HG videos for a while, wasn't ready to "open the bottle" but last night was really bad, and this came up without even knowing. Godsent. Although I don't believe in god. My mom forced me to go to catechesis as well! Horrible 3 years.
I wouldn't say unsuccessful people "know" what the problem/solution is. I'd say they think they know. Because also, what does success look like? What is success? Is it having a 15M dollar mansion? Or your own small house that is yours. Is it having a car, or being happy to ride a bike? As you talked about big castles and climbing mountains. Let's say for the sake of this that "unsuccessful" means "poor" or "not being able to afford a life where you can relax". There's plenty of cases of people in these situations that are on a hamster wheel, and they can't relax because they have to work, and have to work because if they relax they won't have money and lose "all what they have" which in the first place, is not even that great, that is why they're aiming for something better. And they dig this hole where they do a lot of things, a lot of times more than what they can/should do, without really thinking through and that is when they put themselves in a job that consumes all their time, or is very demanding for not a big pay, or they are the only ones who actually does the job to a T while others just do very little and leave, or they get into debt because at one time money wasn't enough, so they took a loan, and then another loan to pay the first loan and so on and so forth. And after 20-30 years, they're bitter, frustrated, resentful maybe, but ultimately very very tired. And they attribute all the bad things that have happened to the fact that they couldn't have a second for themselves because they had to work.
It saddens me about the fact that, at least what I feel, this is not a conversation nor a realization anyone can get. I think at some point you have to be really sad, or meaningless/without goals, or feel lost and have the doubtful thoughts. As Dr K said, have the experience. A lot of people go through the motions of getting out of school and into college, a relationship, a first time, a car, etc. as "something you need to do" without realizing that no one forces you to have or not have, or do or not do certain things.
A dumb but clear example is, if you ever felt this way and opened up to a friend, and him or her telling you "Oh don't worry, it's going to be fine. It will get better, you'll see. You just need time". Or worse, they start talking about themselves. And at that point you're not upset only because you didn't get the answer you were looking for but also, and more so, about the fact you realize this other person can't even remotely relate to what is happening to you and what is feeling you with doubt.
It's been a while now since I've been "stuck" in this place where I recognize the importance of detachment and even though I was able to do it to some degree, my question still remains: How do I do, or what do I do, to have internal fulfillment? Do I do things I like? At some point that loses its enjoyment. Do I just accept the fact that I will never be truly happy for myself so I better try to help others? What would I do for myself, if the things that I wanted to do before are like 10 years ago from now, or right now and not in 10-20 years in the future? Is detaching yourself not caring at all and being ok with whatever, or being consciously acceptant of whatever happens and their outcomes? Can you confuse the two? How do you find meaning in things to work on towards (mountains to climb) if they're going to happen in the future, but at the same time you detach yourself from it making it somewhat meaningless or hard to enjoy/fulfill you? If the outcome "doesn't matter" (meaning you learn to not be outcome driven), then what is the purpose of doing anything at all? Why is doing things better than not doing anything and just waiting to die? Or is the fact that you are going to die, regardless of anything, make it more valuable to do things in the time you are here? And I understand Zack's fear of anticipation and acceptance of it. You cannot not accept it when it's right there and happening. It's like the patient with cancer who died. It's there, you know it's going to die, and then they die. It happened, you need to accept the fact that you tried to help him and it didn't work. But before they die, you are doing so. You're trying, perhaps even restless nights of thinking how the hell are you going to do to help this person.

I don't know who you are or what you do, but you seem to have a particular set of skills.
I wonder, why not record on Linux and use DaVinci Resolve for editing? It has a Linux version, although it's for Debian based distros so maybe it wouldn't work for you. }
Edit: My bad, you said you use Arch. Perhaps there's a way to make it work?
And Manjaro was my last tested Distro out of all the oens I've tried some years ago and it was by far the best one for a productivity focused use case (office, school, notes, research, etc. No heavy editing of anything and no gaming). KDE one, to be specific.
Also, perhaps put a Y'all counter :P

I completely disagree. Don't grab my IP, make your own. Even if it's a "copycat", like a very similar idea. Make a new new one. Use that stupid brain of yours (not you Charlie) and create a new character, just like someone did many many many years ago creatiing the characters you're destroying today. And they can do so because they have the money thanks to the prebuilt structure. If they had to build it up from zero, they couldn't. Because they are terrible.
HBO Latin América posted about how Velma was an LGBTQ+ icon. And then everyone was like "um, what? She's supposed to be a strong female character who got brains". And then, not content with the stupidest logic imaginable, the admin kept doubling and tripling down saying she's always been gay and that it just wasn't talked enough.
I really would love to know who, especially as a kid, even knew or really cared about Velma being or not being a lesbian or bisexual. As far as I know, she was the smartest badass of the group for all. But maybe I'm wrong and everyone cared and I was just an outlier kid, watching a show for fun instead of thinking if X or Y character liked dick.

Funnily enough opposite to spiritmacardi, I am on Windows because I (for hte most part) download app, install, download and install drivers. Boom, playing. And if there's any issues, I have 2 or 3 main things where I go to:
1- issues with the game itself (too new, not optimized, optimized for only nvidia or amd, etc)
2- Issues with the game's config inside the game
3- Your PC specs are not performing correctly or are not powerful enough.
Yes, the OS is garbage in many aspects and has bugs and shit all around, but when it comes to that USUALLY (not always) you start on those 3 points and you're (again, USUALLY...) good to go.
On Linux I have to create a file, put in a code I don't know how to write so I copy it from the internet so the system auto mounts a drive which may or may not work, which then you have to ask for help around, as well as "permissions" for a drive when creating a second steam library on another disk, and hope that doesn't break anything, and then having 50 different proton versions, eggroll versions and then experimental, and then linux steam runtime version or whatever (it's been some months so i forgot specifically). This is CRAZY.
Yes, I hate Microsoft and their stupid telemetry and hit on performance as much as you. I hate they break into your stuff (or break your stuff) and privacy as well, etc, etc. But at the end of the day... I just wanna get Steam, download a game and play it. And if I eventually want to play online games, especially MMOs (whenever a good one comes out again), I can't do that on Linux (generally speaking).
I wrote this comment to comment on the comment (lol) of "One DE should monopolize". I agree with the sentiment, objectively it sounds like "the solution". However with Linux is much more complex. First you have the base systems. Arch, Debian? Something else? So there should be a consensus on which one to use and why. A perked up Debian based system with newer packages but still tested enough that is not going to break when you're making coffee? Or Arch and "test it a bit more" and if it breaks just "oops I did it again..." (were you singing that?) just like Microsoft does (generally speaking, again). Let's say the community in a miracle all come together and decide for something, personally for me I wouldn't think that ONE DE is the solution. But I would just leave 4: KDE, Gnome, [Some tiling manager] and a low-resources DE. (we are talking about Officially supported DEs, if people wanna make new ones after they can of course).
KDE because I'm biased. I think is aesthetically pleasing and the customization is intuitive ENOUGH albeit overwhelming at times with some quirks and customized in certain ways could be really useful and have both the mainstream "curated" look as well the functionality. Gnome, I fucking hate it but half of the world who uses Linux likes Gnome. So I wouldn't want someone taking away KDE from me, I would not take away Gnome from them.
Tiling managers because they are cool and productive and you have people like Brodie who loves those. They do have useful applications and not always you can replicate the behavior on the other DEs. So for those who like those, imo they still need to have one developed (and if possible integrate the different managers into 1 with all the features or refine the existing ones).
Low-resource DE... obvious.

Well, because you weren't out in the "house of a friend" playing DND and being a good boi. You were skateboarding, aka inhaling some glue. At least that's how it works in some parents' minds. For my father, tattoos and ear plugs were signs of clearly selling weed and committing crimes even though a lot of my friends actually took good care of all of us younger people, prevented us from smoking, told us not to drink too much, some took me home on their bike to make sure I got there safe, etc.
But you have to understand a parents' perspective too. You're out and about all day long doing something that, in their eyes, is not truly productive and leads to "bad stuff". And they don't hear from you for hours or an entire day or more. It's logical for them to think you're a drug addict and you'll end up in jail. I'm not saying it's correct, but it's understandable.

Louis, what are the steps I should follow to START getting acquainted with repair laws and such in my own country? (and province and city). Where should I look or what should I look for? I thought of starting with reading the "customer's defense law" and go from there. But maybe you could also give some points.
I am interested in seeing what we have in place and whether or not it's sanctioned or executed correctly and how we can change that. Now, our president is in talks with Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, etc. and I understand it... we need investment into the country to get back up and improve our economy. That kinda sends shivers down my spine because they will trick people into "the future" without them realizing they are slowly getting fucked to their own face. So I'd like to be knowledgable enough to see if I can find a balance. Or at least tight down the laws 2, 4+ years from now after the country improves (if it does).
I also believe that RTR is CRUCIAL for regions like ours, we don't have money to buy an S24 every year. In fact (can't show proof, this is a hunch) since we always get the products "late" and people can't usually buy new, say if your screen broke... I don't think they use official repairs (if any). They always use stores (that do everything, sell and repair). So in that sense, if that is true, I feel if we keep repairing stuff and the manufacturer decides to prevent us from getting the parts as you've mentioned before... we'll be fucked. So I feel it's very important to put things in place to prevent this.
Edit: Also, if you're reading this, we have a lot of theft and robberies here. What do you do or how can you tell a device is stolen? Do you care about this or not, do you do something about it? I'm asking in regards to the "no data, you can leave a fake name if you want". How'd you tackle this?

League andys wouldn't gain a viewer. But maybe a woman with good content without showing her tits on a site that started as a gaming site, might. And if no one gains viewership, so be it. Those virgins (and I say this clarifying that I love watching tits and butts like anyone else, they're awesome!) can go to PH, Xvideos, chaturbate or directly pay their onlyfans.
It's the internet, there's a place for EVERYTHING (literally, for better or worse), which means YouTube could've stuck to good content, Netflix could've stuck with good cinematographic content and Twitch could've expanded to other categories besides gaming like it did (that was great) without bending the rules and applying it as they want.
And I know what people will say "well if you don't like it you don't have to watch it, it's simple!". And yes, it is in theory, but we would do that meanwhile the rest wouldn't. That's not how people work, otherwise people wouldn't smoke, wouldn't be obese and they would stop fucking their cousins.

It can never not be politics, Asmon. There's a socio cultural drive for the 'politically correct' stuff and doing what you are doing, is censored and cancelled time and time again across the world. People driving further and further the agenda of inclussiveness, respect, etc. by shutting down/out the others who disagree or present a potential issue with their ideas. Just like you're doing. And all of that, driven OUTSIDE platforms, eventually gets in. That is why you see Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc. shadowbanning people, hiding them from search, not recommending them, etc.
It can't be separated because these platforms, usually operate within said society we all live in. It's an extension of it. And whether it's a video platform, streaming or even restaurants or whatever else, they will usually go for the "better" albeit not correct direction of having policies that go along with the majority of people for the sake of investment, sales, or generally "good image" which brings revenue.
Imagine if majority of streamers, both male and female were like you. They would be accepting of others and what they do, but also critical and vocal in a good way of things that could potentially be not the best for the platform. Imagine how many people would be starting up drama about transphobia, racism, and all those hot trends of today when anybody would say things like "This woman can't be in the council because she's not fit for it". Which is entirely true, but go tell that to that giant mob-like, hive-minded, echo-chambered group of people that will yell at you and if possible throw things at you to make you shut up. There is a legitimate reason why a bunch of LGBTQ people don't feel represented at all by these 'vocal leaders' of these groups. And at one point, they could sue Twitch for discrimination or whatever, and maybe the platform legally would be fine if they claim it's "under their discretion" and it's in the ToS, but there would be a social stigma which ultimately keeps hurting the image of it and cutting of the $$$.

We need to "Concord" and "Star Wars Outlaws" everything else like this as well, and then and only then they will stop fucking around, because they will be FINDING OUT!!
PS: If you had a Sponsor, and you veto it, and you try the service and it's a good service, and it's valuable... I wouldn't mind you promoting it. The fact that you promote it, doesn't mean I am forced to buy it. I can make that choice by myself, but if it goes THROUGH YOU out of all people and comes out on top, it means it must be something good. If that allowed you to have more money for grants to other people for other projects, or yourself for your pond and/or more videos... why not? Is not a "milk you dry" type of thing, is a work investment. But if you don't need any of that then it's good you don't have any sponsors.

According to Twitter, if I told Mr Peterson "Shut up, old man!" and he felt offended, I should be suspended. Which we all know, it would never happen, for several reasons but mostly because they don't care to defend Red Skull himself, ha.
It's been a while since I deleted social media, left up some accounts only. Discord, YouTube. The rest is gone and there are only a few times, or exceptions and specific situations, for specific accounts or reasons, that I would want to use Twitter again. But besides that, I am so glad.
For people who critically think, and like to do things in live and live with other human beings, it's often common, sadly, that they would feel excluded or that they are out of place in today's society and world (at least in the West). This is in my view, an increasing constant unsettling feeling of loneliness, of being not good enough, of always being wrong, so on and so forth, by the usage of social media. Someone who often times clashes with people in real life, on a day to day basis, because they have "less agreeableness" as the doc would say, a strong will and/or speak their minds, they will end up finding themselves in a new battle every other 10 minutes by using the easy medium of social media to get into those battles at will of your fingertips.
And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Twitter or Facebook are bad because of "woke" culture, or "liberals" (English colloquial use of "Liberal") - Right wing leaning media isn't better. It's the same stupidity, with a coat of (red?) paint over it.
I cannot access Dr Peterson's paid content, and so watching YouTube podcast uploads and lectures is what has to suffice for me. But if in the attempt to battle against censorship, he has to move away from all the massive and "free" to use media, so be it.

This is exactly the reason why I didn't stick with Brave (I made a self challenge to use it fully for 30 days). I tried it out because it has a lion icon, to be honest. It wasn't bad at all, but it wasn't better in features for me than Edge. Edge comes already preinstalled and the sync with the phone worked well.
I didn't like the crypto stuff, even though you can disable it I think.
I didn't like the fact the "anti-ads browser" promotes itself with ads. And yes, you may think it's clever or a cheeky joke, which technically to an extent it is, but it rubbed me off the wrong way just like when DDG, the privacy focused engine, was caught not blocking Microsoft things specifically.
The last thing is it is Chromium. I feel it defeats the purpose on helping the web not using Firefox at that point. If I'm on Chromium, I just use Edge. Aside from Microsoft bs, it's a very good browser. But besides that going to the Chromium thing while that IS open project, I have the feeling sooner or later in some way, shape or form, "Open source Chromium" will have the roadblocks that "open source Android" is getting, you made a video on this recently which I thought was very informative and unfortunate (what they do, not your video. Video was really good).
Also the built-in blocker didn't work for me that well. I still needed to get uBlock Origin for a better experience. But that could've just been me.
And it had issues on YouTube such as populating the chat on livestreams and... other minor quirks (I repeat this about FF below).
So I decided to go back to Firefox. I thought if I ever also go back to Linux full time, going with Firefox would be the best bet and it's also not-chromium (every other browser is, except for Safari). Sadly, it is lacking in some productivity features natively as of now, which I miss and other very minor quirks, but overall has been a very smooth experience and as far as I know, you could strengthen Firefox defenses to be as good as Brave, Brave just comes with it out of the box/default. And Firefox on the phone works like a charm compared to the newest Edge updates or Brave when I used it. And I have a Galaxy A22, very run of the mill mid to low end phone. Not fantastic.
The best thing of operative systems, programs and browsers is they are all tools and we use the ones we like the most or the most helpful to get our work done.

I love using Edge and getting the maximum quality of the overpriced shit service that is Netflix and the convenience of getting all my data stolen and sold. What are they going to find? That you make "edgy" jokes and are planning on a massive swingers orgy? Who cares.
I don't think you're overreacting, just reacting. It's aligned with who you are and I am really glad your GF follows you down this path! It's awesome. I understand and totally agree with the sentiment. Unless you're a cheap bastard and/or have bad intentions, piracy is totally justified in my eyes considering everything. I pirate games and movies all the time. And buy some games whenever I can which now, going back to dollars, will make it quite hard.
But like I said above, I like conevenience. And I don't truly understand the privacy fight. In the Linuxsphere a lot of people love quoting Snowden and I never really got it. I feel if you care so much about privacy, you have something to hide. Rather than "have nothing to say" like he says.
And looking at how the world is run, I got tired of fighting the fight to fight the fight (if you use Linux and FOSS you'll understand what I mean). I'd rather spend that time and energy on cultivating relationships with friends or just enjoying the things I like. And I will fight and be up in arms when the time comes if it comes, but until then, just pop open a cold one.
I mean, ironically, we're watching this on YouTube, of which I do have premium since I can't really donate to all the creators (like you) that I think deserve the support. And a lot of people use Firefox, which is from Mozilla, the people that get like 500M from Google. And they don't open source everything, the engine is closed. So at the end of the day is just smoke and mirrors.

What happened to Star Craft 2? It was released that's what. They wanted to up the ante and they fucked up the huge community and gameplay that Brood War had. There's a reason why Brood War was massive in Esports and SC2 wasn't or was for a little bit but nothing compared to it.
Overwatch was fundamentally bad design. You say "fundamentally is a good game", do you mean the game idea? Because TF2 is the idea. Or TF. Like sure, the idea of an "arena shooter" is always good, it's fun, fast paced, get in, get out, etc. But from the get go, and including the 1st hero release (Ana), you had heroes with an insane high skill ceiling, and heroes that were meant to be played afk while making coffee. You did say "balance" but there's no real balance to be made when the design of the heroes is so wide.
Diablo 3 was dumbed down and homogenized so much, with then lack of content that it was forgotten.
HoTS was the 10 years old arcade version of Dota / LoL. It was never going to get big. It was fun to play with friends for a while but that was it, it was a lot of push and fight but no big tactics or anything.
We all already know about WoW.
This IP needs to be with the Blizzard roots in mind (the good ones, of course). I am very interested in this. I agree the survival genre is kind of underrated/underdeveloped. Blizz with all the money can make it happen. The biggest problems in survival games imo, the ones that involve people is that the systems or gameplay loop is not deep / big enough for you to be somewhat fine with losing some stuff. The griefers, the cheaters... and then everyone at some point says "yes, friendly" and they shoot you in the back. And then there's no "point" in surviving other than existing in the game universe.
If there's a system loop incorporating these 2 things, that game could be massive.

This is the reason why suddenly people "shift other ways", "sell themselves" and whatnot. Sure, sometimes they're bad people from the get go but I look at you, a regular guy who wants to help and do good and just DO HIS JOB and time and time again individuals, "projects" and or companies keep trying to stick their thumb in your ass.
And I admire your courage, patience and tolerance as well as your values and the strength to hold true to them for all this time and all these "situations". But I also wouldn't blame if you at some point you accept 20 million for whatever and just disappear from the internet and go live your life quietly lmao. Sometimes people don't really understand how tiring it is and the toll it takes on you to fight a main battle and then fight each battle in between that makes the main one so confusing. So annoying tbh.
That's why I stopped caring about privacy or using Linux distros. I don't care anymore, corporates that steal my soul make things much easier. Not without issues, certainly. But easier.
To expand: this video is the proof. Not everyone is like this, there are a lot of people out there exactly like you. Always respectful, very chill, very passionate willing to help out noobs like me. But there's also a lot of the "anti" people. A lot of those fans (more than passionate) to hate on something and always finding a chance to shit on whatever you ask or use (Microsoft sucks! they're shit!) or hate on you for even remotely liking anything that they deem negative.

That is why I love KDE. For my newb ass, being able to do a little bit of "setup" through the settings itself, is enough. I got things looking good. They are not GREAT, they are not SICK, not AWESOME. I wish I could do a bit more but, time is limited and I am not rich. And I know that, eventually, if I did it once, I would do it again. It's a never ending journey.
Also, knowledge. I know there are "configuration files" which have config settings written in them, but you said "jsonc" - I know that is "json with comments", but I don't know what "json" is by itself (don't know if it's just a programming language, or a file format, both or something else) and that means I don't know what "comments" in that context is either. At that point, you already cut people like me off. That is ok by the way, is not something bad or that needs "fixing", this is clearly meant for people who already know those things.
My particular gripe is that ricing is shown as something that "could be done", whilst a racing car for example takes a ton of money, not just time, effort and knowledge - I don't even own a normal car! But I do own a computer, with Linux where I'm typing this. And I have done some config files for other stuff (copied, of course, not that I wrote those myself) so it's like oh wait, I can do this too! I just need to learn a bit and dedicate myself to... no, no I can't.
In fact, KDE 6+ has made some widgets unusable, and now I'm out of a to-do list widget. A simple To-Do list widget!!! And it is interesting to me learning on how to make one, but it's all writing stuff. I don't know where to begin learning writing things. I'm not even that used to using commands in terminal to navigate directories, I keep forgetting which one is which, let alone if you have to root yourself and such.
I wish I could make the widget, and maybe I'll set it as a project for myself, but for now it's too much. I couldn't even fix the EFI partition to save my damn OS lmao. Thank god for Konsave which saved me a ton of time. (If anyone reads this and wants to do a nice to-do list widget... I appreciate you).

The "slippery slope" is one of the worst arguments ever and mind you, it's actually what the left uses all the time to gaslight people into accepting their things being taken away when they don't like it.
You have idiots afterwards on tv saying "I held in my hands an AR15, powerful as a tank!".
And what "it represents" is also a terrible argument. COD, BF, Counter-Strike represent and more shooter games, represent WAR. If representation was an actual problem, then Mortal Kombat, FPS games, Assassins Creed, The Division and MORE games would not be (or "shouldn't be") available at all. We could only have sports games and games like crossing whatever of you being a little onion head on Nintendo graphics picking up seeds.
I LOVE the new CS graphics and sounds. When you hit them in the head with a bullet, it goes SQUISH and it's just freaking fantastic. It feels genuinely awesome and rewarding to hit your shots. Does that mean that I love shooting up people or would love to blow their heads? No. So does that mean that having a pronoun selection in game means that 50% of the playerbase will suddenly be trans or something like that? Also no.
The problem isn't the "immersion breaking" of the pronouns. The problem is they can't just go past something so insignificant to their lives that they complain. Immersion breaking and actualy complaint would be talking to 4 or 5 different NPCs, in the same ship, and they ALL look exactly the same and have the same voice. THAT is immersion breaking.
Both sides are worse than children, equally immature but with different expectations due to being adults.
Edit: Unrelated, but fuck that POS fake as fuck dickhead of a gaslighting commie Hasan. And that's all the time he will get from me for this next month.
Edit#2: Actually related - I just remembered the whole Hogwarts Legacy thing. Your arguments now go in towards the "defense" of people being bothered by a pronouns list and leftists (as they always do because they're shit) throwing a tantrum about said people. Let's not forget (which for a second I just did) about months ago on the release of wizard game being a massive meltdown for the other group and everyone saying "bro it's a good game just get it! don't pay att to this bs! Who cares if it gives money to JK Rowling?". And then they also included a trans woman, owner of the bar, inside the game. And I'm sure there were also gay characters. But even then, the left decided to torch it. Most of the community, not all. Like I said, when you get to talk to them (gay, trans, etc) some of them are actually very cool, good and fucking based, conscious of stuff. They don't try to shape up reality to their imagination.
At the end of the day, we had similar situations, with 2 different games, months apart in the same year. As you can see, both sides are equally ridiculous and stupid. And if what I'm saying bothers you or you think I'm defending one side in favor against the other, you should rethink where you're at.

Just to spark discussion about it and for people to hate me, because they will (not to support child molest... MINERS), I think the point that some of these people are trying to make, is that having a thought does not turn you into A [insert here].
You said it yourself in the video, "the chair". Does that make you a psychopath? A mass murderer? I've thought about stealing a couple of million dollars, help out my mom and then take off. Does that make me a thief?. Because you haven't actually killed or electrocuted anyone (I'D LIKE TO BELIEVE... SYDNEY!?) and I haven't actually stolen any money (clearly, otherwise the Sydney Watson Press Studio would be a thing already). This is one of the arguments in favor of digital/VR porn (as well as all those new robo dolls that are coming out) where some say that these people would get into that and it would be some safety net for you know... real children. I personally do not entirely agree with the argument, due to the way addictions work (meaning, they will jack off with a vr video a week and then later on they might "need" to get the real thing), but I can see the PLAYGROUND where it stands. (Is this too much, too soon? I'm sorry).
I of course, like any other normal person, completely disagree with any type of DEFENSE towards people who molest, kidnap, beat up, mistreat or rape children. You don't mess with children. You touch a kid, I cut you with a sword. BUT just like any other type of crime or thing that was deemed bad is always good to also understand how it generates or where does it come from, to try and prevent it in the future. It's not about patting them in the back for not committing a crime. If you think of it as an addiction, is saying "hey, it's nice you didn't use today. Let's see for tomorrow". And if it has already happened what are you going to do, fill the prisons with these people for life sentences? They don't even give life for murder. What if it gets adjusted and with all the shit today someone innocent goes to prison for like 20 years for something they didn't do. (The movie Jagten - aka The Hunt showcases this very well, about the social condemn). Sadly it feels like a lose lose situation because any solution is not ideal. That said, I'd always go for the least ideal solution that has the best positive outcome for the kids. If that means that I'd end up in jail and die there, so be it.

Hi Brandon, Argentinian here. I'm not that surprised to be honest that a well spoken prominent "internet" figure is running for congress. We've had the same happen with a couple, two of the most notorious ones are now running for president and national representative (an economist and a criminal lawyer, respectively). Whether it's good or bad, I don't know. You can never know as I'm sure people can't really know for sure with you. But I am a firm believer that the fact that you do X, in this case YouTube videos, doesn't mean you DON'T know about other things whether it is the topic you talk about as content or beyond (law, business management, etc). And there is also this thing of regular everyday people putting their shit on the line doing this, which brings a set of fresh air and it's not the same stupid ass of the same face but a different name running again and again pretending they care.
You might be wondering why I would be commenting here, even if I don't live in the country. Well, I also believe that regardless of political affiliation, global agendas are a thing and they're bad. Fun example: During the pandemic, we had officially from the government (lefties) a woman dressed as a clown explaining covid in "friendly clown terms" or whatever the fuck that was. I saw that and I thought "Oh, of course these would do something like this! Of course we'd see that in this country of clowns!". And then, months after, it happened for you guys. Or not you as a country, but a part of it (for better or worse, thankfully the USA state division is actually a thing that works unlike pretending having 21 provinces is good for anything at all when they're under the same umbrella).
So at that point, I thought: Are these idiots reading from the same "for dummies" manual? Like what the fuck is this? And started thinking a lot of similarities between our countries, despite their big differences, and then the rest of the world. Kinda nuts how things repeated themselves throughout on different levels. It was kinda scary. "Conspiranoico" we'd say. (paranoid + conspiracy).
News sources for reference, just in case anyone is wondering
Aug 16th: https://www.lanacion.com.ar/sociedad/quien-es-payasa-filomena-aparecio-reporte-matutino-nid2422911/

Seeing that at the time, amongst many other things, and a lot of Republicans backing out from supporting Trump (clarification: not saying he's terrible or great, just stating the facts) or like you mentioned voting things against the supposed "republican idea" and "freedom" like fucking cowards, set a warning in my head. That's when I started my libertarian path, detaching from any side and looking everything and everyone with a critical pov. So I hope you keep your path straight and don't become a cuck like them.
I also want to add something, if it's worth anything: the political divide in the entire world is at its highest ever. Or at least that is how I feel. Common values and traditions have been challenged all across the board everywhere on so many levels that now the gap in the middle of "right or wrong" is just so massive and taken personal by a lot of people that they will not give you an inch to talk about anything. For some, if you're right leaning let's say you're a nazi that doesn't care for safety or anything else or anyone else, and if you're left leaning you're "a retard". For the last 6 months I started wondering if being so "true" to traditions is actually the right way. Like sticking to that structure. In many areas it is, but you said it yourself as an example: Digital era, we need CURRENT people that understand this shit to legislate, not the 90 year old dinosaurs that barely know how to operate a phone. So in this case it's the same, I look at it as when someone goes to the doctor and says they have elbow pain, but doctors say it's not real because they have nothing wrong in their body. That person might be lying but it's a high chance they actually do feel the pain. Same for all this social issues shit that has happened in the last decade. What I'm getting at is hopefully you will listen to the other side and not keep that banner of "democrats bad, democrats stupid". I know sometimes it's hard to believe but a lot of people on that side are very smart and capable, not all of them have a big red nose and big shoes. The issue is that those parties usually take the shittiest approach to solving those issues, assuming they want to solve them at all. As you mentioned, a lot of politicians pretend to care or they sell the ideas for the votes, but then vote in favor or against something when they shouldn't have. They just play pretend and play to see who's got the biggest dick for no reason, while in the meantime real people suffer real consequences.
With all of that said, I wish you the best of luck on the run. I also have a slight amusement at the idea someone might want to do any harm to you, like shooting your car or whatever and it's just... have they not seen your wall? They're going to have a bad time. But knock on wood, hope it doesn't happen and you do a great job, if you win. I will be following the journey on B-side. So you better not fuck it up otherwise eventually we'd have to... vote for GarandThumb. Charlie as VP? Fuck.

Considering you are not SHARP on the parts to get the most bang for your buck, and we factor in "a mistake", a good rule of thumb I've been told years ago and seems to hold pretty strong, is never skimp on PSU and never skimp on processor.
It doesn't matter if "it's too much" for what you intend to use it for. I mean, it does, but it's always much better to overspend on a CPU (and PSU) rather than on a GPU or RAM or something else. Disks you can always change and get cheap in NA / EU for the most part. GPUs usually tend to be changed every 2 or 3 years. RAM is RAM. Sure there is much better/faster RAM, but at the end of the day, the brains of your computer is what matters the most.
Like assuming you're maxing out your GPU, you at least know you have legs on your CPU, you can multitask, and do a bunch of other stuff without worrying on that end. Also it's one of the components in a computer that lasts the longest, if not THE one that lasts the longest.

Argentina has been sunk due to over 50 years of decadent policies and stupid socialism, "protecting" national work and products.
These 1st world countries have been at the top for way too long getting comfortable not realizing what they're doing. Or maybe actually realizing and still doing it.
COVID was a barrier for sure, but made them believe it was A PROBLEM of free trade and now they're going to house their own manufacturing. Is not going to work.
Joe Biden (and Co) is pouring money into all of this move, I bet my balls without cutting back on government spendings to find no deficit/equilibrium. USA is going to face massive inflation, and for that the salaries are going to be worthless against the costs, which are going to be higher anyway due to housing the production. Living in the US is already much more costly than other places, and "generally speaking" people earn their money somewhat accordingly to those expenses.
Also, restricting trades will make it so different countries will have monopolies on certain things. Depending of which country has the most valuable material is the one that is going to win.
And in addition I can back up my claims looking at my own country's history, and contrast it with Freumble's comment about his company. Small and mid bizz getting shafter by govs is always a classic, and they are actually the backbone of a country's economy since they are the ones that can be opened quickly, almost anywhere and give people jobs, a place to go and supply resources.
Unless they stop this is going to go to shit and/or see 2nd or 3rd world countries rise up and become dominant.

Please let me know a reason or situation where you need more than 1080p or 1440p max on your phone. I'm not saying it's useless, or it doesn't look great, but like why? These are the type of company trends that are just dumb.
On a tv I get it, on a monitor, I totally get it. But on a phone? Why? It consumes more power, needs more resources for those pixels and what are you doing on a 6.5'' screen that you need so many?
The same with the ultra fast charging, I feel thermodynamic or whatever physical laws cannot be broken so at the end of the day, something's gotta give and fail.
And then the design is meh, vegan is bs and the camera is gigantic with the same issues, for sure, the Nokia 1020 had.

You couldn't possibly make "1000 planets" to explore. It's just simply not possible. Unless you develop the game for 20 years. Maybe Star Citizen will have this!
But, these type of "open world" games would be MUCH better starting small but with tons of things to do, details to discover and actual things to explore (secrets that aren't mentioned from quests, or zone tutorials or maps).
This was a bit WAY TOO MUCH, but I remember one of the paths you could choose for your character in The Secret World (legends) was Illuminati, I think, and a bunch of quests were places to go within the city that were these insane puzzles. Again, a bit too much for the average gamer, but they felt truly cryptic and based on real life stuff. Like there was one puzzle where you had to do 4 chimes I think, but they were actual tones and you kinda had to know music (sheets and everything) to "figure it out". That or look up a guide, of course.
I feel these things are what makes a game fun.

Because people who don't know about tuning will never know, even less by ear, that a note is out of tune. They think being in tune is being in tune with the exact tune (correct or not) of the song being played.
And as someone who likes drums, I couldn't tell you oen bit if something is out of tune unless it sounds way off. But if it's something mild or small, I'd say I don't know, even if I know that you mean the instrument not related to the song.
And I said people who don't know about tuning, but I mean people in general. If they listen to a song that is out of tune but that song is a hit, whenever you play that song you have to play it incorrectly in the correct way. Otherwise, your version will sound "out of tune" to the "out of tune" of the song. Does this make sense? I know it's wrong, I just feel that is the reasoning they are using.
Edit: In layman's terms, a bunch of people probably thing that a NOTE is part of a song, not that the song is composed of notes in general.

This was a great video, and Asmon's reaction too.
I wonder what people think, but I feel that mmo's shouldn't cater to casuals for the most part, only allow them to do story mode/solo content say up to max level or half way there. Something like that. Like they can play teh game, but the better dungs/raids and rewards are not possible going solo and are not possible through LFR. Some people are against this bbecause they feel "you need to reach max level to start playing the game" but I feel that's a wrong take. You can make leveling and the other stuff fun too.
Also, if you have only 1 hour to play, yuo shouldn't be playing an mmo imo. I know this is alienating players, but think about it yourself. Back in the day, 5 years old I'd play MK3 Ultimate on my Sega and I'd literally play 1 hour, 1 hour and a half and I felt I was playing the entire day. Then I'd go out with my friends or play some football. Today, how games are made or perhaps the perception of time we have as we grow up, you literally don't do shit and it takes like 5 hours. So if you only have 30 mins or 1 hour of free time to relax and do "what you like", perhaps you should search for another game/genre that is quicker to launch and play and do stuff. Or do something else entirely instead of gaming. It sounds mean or bad, but I think this is when it comes to personal responsibility and making the players decide to shape to the product, and not the product (for the most part) to each type of player because when you do that, if you did it once for 1 type, you have to do it for everyone and then dilution of content and experiences happen.
Last but not least, 3RD parties are something that are kind of outside of devs/games/genre's hands. You can't expect people to talk in game, when you can use (and mostly do, even if they don't game) discord, to talk to many more people at once, for different games!. These are tools that are so broad in scope, they basically "kill" the idea of need of social interaction in game. What games need to do, is design a system where social interaction is required in the fundamental sense. Like you said train the fucking tank. Whether you say it in game chat or discord or on the phone, it's up to the players, but it's something they cannot escape. Are they willing to replace the tank every single time and never finding "the right fit" or taking way longer? Are they willing to be tagged as "the big assholes" in the servers? etc.

I can't help very much, I'm not keen on huge cases even though I do think they look cool (especially the ones that DON'T curve), I don't think I'll ever have one of those especially becuase having a custom watercooling loop is something I'd never have. Too expensive and complicated.
I also am in a very dusty place with a lot of humidity, winter is cold and summer is VERY hot.
I agree with the direct flow and the porosity of the mesh.
What I personally would love to see in a case is:
- Good height with "tall" feet under the case so it has almost half a hand worth of space to suck in air from the bottom. Then on that bottom part, make it spacious enough that you can put a small "platform" for the PSU so it has space to suck in fresh air with a tapered entrance going down, and then a space for 25mm thick fans where they are not necessarily fitting "tightly".
- Good USB I/O in front panel, at least 3 ports.
- RESET BUTTON. I don't care if I can just use my power button... you have to press down, hold, wait for it to turn off. Wait 5 seconds, turn it on again. Just put in a reset button.
- A width of at least 180mm - that is more than enough for many if not all big air coolers and in case GPU is quite big it'll have space with no problem (also with the bottom fans it gets fresh air almost directly
- When it comes to the design, I like black or dark gray (this is because I don't know if good white metal doesn't stain, but everything I've ever had that was white usually plastic turned yellow or beige and I hate that, so black or dark gray) and a sober design. I don't like too many "gamer shapes" or flares or all that shizz. In fact, since we're going design, it would be cool to have built in LED strips so everything fits properly and looks great and you can use Aura or OPENRGB to change it (I personally don't like RGB but for those who do).
And when it comes to range, assuming I have unlimited money, I feel for a big great performant case that looks nice, fits all the needs etc. 100-150 dollars is a good price range. Maybe 130-160.
And all of this is also assuming we go for the "standard" design. Because I've been thinking myself on how to create a "wacky inventive" design that is not the typical thing but also works just as good. Like having the PSU in front or something weird. But I haven't planned that out at all. My #1 worry would be airflow and performance. Design after.

Please fight monitor makers to stop making you sponsored segments with THESE NAMES. Jesus christ I laugh every time. 🤣
I have an RX580. I don't have many of the new options you have on that driver utility. But one of my biggest gripes, is the "streamlined" direction of it. As if the regular timmy is going to do that (they shouldn't). I know OCing is overall somewhat safe now compared to the old days and relatively easy, but I wish manufacturers would stop banking on that. Because that is what they do (assuming the OC works as intended, unlike the card you've shown).
Depending on the region, a lot of people either will UV instead of OC for less heat since it's a really hot place, they don't have AC units, it's 40°C on a hot day, the house room is probably very warm too (happens to me here, although I do have AC) or they don't have either a good GPU model (Like mine is not one with a great cooler is the phantom gaming one) or a good case. But then they go and give you this incomplete somewhat buggy nonsense. Like "Here, have your OC, go be a GAMER. Oh but wait, we'll hand hold you so you don't break your GPU".
Having the safety net is certainly really good, for sure. But then we run into these things. "Fast timing". What does that mean, I can't see anything. So I wish AMD would change this and perhaps have the "auto UV/OC" like now, but then an "expert mode" showing everything for someone like you who understands more, and can show things and explain.

Well, technically speaking "the book is the book and the film is the film" is correct. They are different mediums and you can't write a screenplay the same way you write a novel. And this IS important. Let's go back 15 years ago... adaptations were bad, for the most part. You had a ton of people always complaining that the movie was lacking in comparison to the book. And unlike you're Dennis Villeneuve and can get a deal for a trilogy to put in as much detail as you can in it (or say LOTR?) the rest that tried to do it in 1 movie, even if the movie was sort of on the longer side with a runtime of 2 hours and 20 or 2h and a half... they just couldn't. There's always details or ways that the book has that you can't put in. Sometimes is not good for the screen, sometimes is too long and on the movie lasts 5 seconds... again, DIFFERENT mediums. And this was all way before this group of retard writers took over.
That said, it is clear they want to "make their own thing" but instead of creating new ones, they use old beloved IPs to sell it, destroying them in the process. So with that caveat, and the fact that fan fiction (as long as it's not canon or official) is great, I agree with everything he's said.

He's not a fanboy and of course his heart isn't in it because his "Life purpose" unlike yours isn't advocating for free open software and "Luring people in" to that and away from Windows.
The challenge is very clear: Can we do the same things in Linux with ease, should we want to switch? How is the process? Is it good, bad, terrible? Can an average regular user do it?.
And it's not trolling. You're saying "you can't install things in different operating systems" well of course not. It's like iPhone vs Android. However, all the distros are "Linux". Basically. It's like like a knowledge loop. First you think it's all Linux, then you discover distros and understand they're derivatives of different things, and once you learn that you see that out of 600 distros half of those are basically the same under the hood. You can't expect a regular user, which is the point of the challenge, to know this.
Because that is exactly the idea to showcase. You go into a website, and it says "download for windows, Mac, Android and ios". The Android and iOS buttons take you to the phones stores. Some won't still know how to do it, but most people will understand the basic concept of it. But even after using Linux for a while (and still being a noob, being honest) I just learnt and understood the difference between package managers.
You never hear about this on Mac or Windows. For the most part, you go to the store, download the app/install, it's done. Or download the .exe file, double click, install, done. You don't have 2 different Windows that are the same. You have versions of it, but it's still Windows.
On Linux, you have say Ubuntu and Mint and Elementary and all of them you can install .deb packages and with apt, but they are different. But the same. "Just type in google". You are assuming anyone knows what a package manager is, what it does. If you have to go around, as a regular user, googling these things, it showcases one of the biggest problems with Linux as a whole on itself.
"I don't know why he is complaining about that on camera". Then why are you? Same premise. You are basically giving your closed minded arrogant opinion for your own followers that seemed to be the ones asking you for a reaction. And that is ok, it's your channel and your content. But this is horrible commentary on this topic compared to the other channels that I've been watching and have done it. It's been only 3 minutes into the video and I had to say all this. Imagine for 27. Not enough characters. I don't often give dislikes, but you earned this one this time (and you earned the like the other time, fair and square).

@harbhub Not really. Killing 1 (innocent) person vs killing 6 million are both terrible things. Both wrong, NO DISCUSSION on that objective point. But to say they're equally the same it's stupid. Because in reverse, but with the same logic, we could say:
It doesn't matter if the 2 police officers in Nashville saved a lot of more people who potentially could've died, some still died so it's awful! - It is, especially kids, it is awful. My example goes on the point of removing certain contextual value (positive or negative) to things, because they stem from the same place or are similar. I don't think what you said, and what I said, are exclusive things to each other.
Even though Fansly is a porn site (we know it), the "ad" showcases "creators". I know this is BS, but technically, that's what it is. What they create, comes afterwards. But going straight to a video, on stream, of a girl getting railed by a BBC is not the same. The shock value, especially to kids, is much much different. I'll give you another example:
Let's say you're a responsible parent, but you can't control your child (and don't want to, because that's bad) 24/7, and at some point he comes to you and says "dad, what's fansly? There are creators there. I'd like to see their vids". As a father you can look it up and then say, no son, that's not a good site. Just stick to Twitch. There's a small layer of defense for the children there, at least.
But the same kid, being on Kick because he found Adin to be "a funny guy" suddenly watching said video... there's no real response time. The mind of that kid is now gone for 1 or 2 years (forward) where they will do whatever to get there again and watch (and learn, in a sense) everything.
I think both you and OP are correct: Both things are bad, and both should be forbidden, while at the same time acknowledging that one is much more direct and worse than the other.

All fun and games for streamers and devs using streams as advertising
but imagine being a player and wanting to actually play the game instead of watching someone else do it. That's the issue people have, I guess. Like I understand why streamers get priority, but from a player standpoint is why the fuck should this one get better treatment than me? Like I understand what the point is, in fact I agree with everything including the guy's analogy. It was a good and true analogy.
But as you put it "they are mad because they can't play the game", and rightfully so. Now, harrassing streamers for it? that's being a fucking moron. But let's pretend is WoW and not PoE and suddenly you have 2 million people in queue waiting 5 hours to play and they say "hey Asmon, wanna get in? We can let you in lol cuz streamer". The sentiment the devs/publishers create is you have to become a big streamer to be able to play the game you were playing in the first place. Doesn't matter you played wow for 15 years too and have all the mounts and this and that. If you've never created content or stream, then fuck you.
And the worst part is, is that it's been like 10 years since bad launches are a thing. How is it that after all this time NOBODY can say "hey, let's up the servers from the get go" for a successful launch. If no one was able to play, fine, they'd be mad they can't play and that's it. But now suddenly you have a vip list that can play it, while you can't.
Why would you give streamers priority, instead of giving them access say a week earlier to promote the game? After all is about the advertising, right? Well do it in a way that won't harm most people's playing experience. But that doesn't happen.
of course waiting an extra week to play won't kill anybody, they're just fucking idiots. But just because they are idiots doesn't mean they aren't somewhat right.
PS: people in africa is unrelated to a videogame but it's an analogy. Vaccination is unrelated to a videogame, but it's also a good analogy. Think of football or NBA players all tested and vaccinated asap, meanwhile the rest of the people... it is the same thing whether you like it or not, just with a much more severe issue. In the end, it is advertising and propaganda, so it's much better to have streamers play the game just as it's better to have idiot celebrities promoting the vaccination and telling people to be good.

I love these videos MK, hopefully you read this. Now, I know a lot of these people are not only great content creators but also friends of yours. And most of them are American, which gives them the option to access a wider variety of tech, whether it's for price range, quality, vendors, models or even type.
However, I think this could be interesting if you got tech YouTubers from across the globe. I think it'd be truly interesting to hear what is their favorite tech of that year and why. Not everyone has the same accessibility, some might have other issues. Maybe health issues and their piece of tech is more than just an iPhone. Others might cater to the mid-range devices due to price or availability, etc. Just an idea, of course :D

EDIT: I edit this with a second more important suggestion (if possible): GamersNexus had a scraping bot that would scrape the webpage of NZXT (I believe it was them) to see when anything changed. If it's possible for him to provide you with it or something similar, it would make it easier for all of us because I bet my 2 hairy balloons that companies will change everything immediately as soon as anyone put the article up for them. In fact, I bet they are changing things right now. And while people can look it up and fact-check it, something automatic could be of good use. But maybe I'm aiming at the moon when I don't even know how to cock the gun first.
Louis, I've had the project for the longest time now of creating my own webpage to just put out opinion blogs on things when I feel sometimes no one speaks about or don't mention (one of the latest examples is I had to wait like a decade until Coffeezilla showed up for someone to call out Valve for the gambling cases in their game that actually DO have real money value, since back then NO ONE had made a fuss about that, at least that I'm aware). One of the things for the page is having a section where I dumb down to the Nth degree the little things I know for literally anybody. Making the utmost step-by-step complete guide on things like "what is Linux" but not one of those guides that say "now put this command" and make them copy paste. No, explaining the command as well, so on and so forth.
Anyway, on your last video from yesterday, I put a comment that I deleted where I suggested the idea of having this wiki translated (in my case, specifically into Spanish) since while this is pertaining the US, a lot of the companies are international and it's safe to assume that whatever fuckery EULA roofing they do in the US, they will for sure do it here as well. And I even think if the US doesn't have good laws, my country will be even worse. I deleted that comment because I am not an energetic person in general, and thought that I wasn't going to be able to sustain something like say logging in every Sunday to do some hours of translation. Didn't want to offer such a big responsibility and then later on be at fault. Instead, thought of doing "shortened" translated versions of things on my page (whenever I'd like to/ whenever that page actually comes to fruition) and for those that do speak English, reference all of the links (wiki first, and then your videos, so on and so forth) for those who would like a more in depth look.
For this, I have a suggestion IF POSSIBLE (obviously): could it be that you tag/rename videos you've made where the title was not exactly clear on directly what you were talking about? This hasn't happened much I reckon, but there are some instances where you put X title and Y thumbnail, and then you talk about some company doing something and then some analogy. I personally think those videos, while not "directly showcasing the fuckery" have a lot of value as well because A) they're funny to me with the jokes you make B) the fact you share stories, experiences or exemplify with something grounded helps A TON in understanding why or what you're talking about and I feel THAT is the cherry on top to actually have people change their minds. And sad to say but not ashamed, you are incredibly much better than me at thinking of examples or doing that, so I'd rather quote/reference you than come up with my own.
All of this is of course a suggestion and I understand if it's not a goal in the near future since the wiki has to be made first! Best of luck and thank you very much to you and to whomever helps out in creating it. LET'S. FUCKING. GO.

White/Grey - Green - Blue items should be BoE or BoP. Epic Purple and Legendary Orange (and beyond if any) items, as well as named, should be free but really hard to get. So you wouldn't do a quest or insane mats gathering twice to try and sell it. Maybe some people, with all the requirements and hard work, they'd have to also sell it for a large amount of gold, so people would have to either pay up big time and also there wouldn't be many, if any, in the market.
But let's say the game's been out 2 years now, and max level now is not 60, but 80, and you have now the choice to either sell this sword for lower leveled people or keep it as memory. Of course as you increase levels in the game and add expansions you'd have to fine tune and/or balance all of the rest for this to make sense in the long term. But with this system, if leveling matters and it's done right, I feel no matter how many expansions or levels we could have in the future, at level say 40, you will ALWAYS find use for that free to use Legendary item that is really hard to get.

The brain maybe shouldn't work like that but mine is the same, particularly worse since I've been "inside" and disconnected from people for so many years. Everything you say makes complete sense.
And perhaps your break should be a bit longer and spend it with your mom, try to figure out how to make it better.
And it takes a lot of balls to be as open as you are to thousands and thousands of people. You're a gem bro. Dirty, rough, hairless, but a precious gem. I'd rather you be off for like 2 years and get everything settled and maybe come back than quit out of stress on a whim or due to an emergency. Baby steps.
And it's been months now, including last night, that I just don't want to live (actually years but it's gotten really bad in the last months, since around March). It just doesn't make sense. Like why, everything or at least a lot of things are meaningless. I can't seem to see the point of it. Except when it's something that I really like, if I can do it. Probably can't most of the times. And today this morning I was thinking about all this, again and I cuckled. Because I realized that no matter how much I just want to remain still and do nothing and waste time away, it doesn't go by as fast as one would like and in the meantime, thoughts are there, pain is there. All the time, sometimes several times on the same day. So I was like... maybe the answer is to do it. Which is something I've thought about before already, I just couldn't be consistent to hold the thought as foundation. Specially with other stuff that happened. But now I'm like if I'm going to feel like shit either way, might as well do some stuff.

As a noob been messing with undervolting my CPU as well with the stock cooler. It's not Intel, it's an R5 2600 but what I've realized (which is a bit obvious but you won't know it until you know it!) is that it totally depends on what you're doing and how much % of the CPU you're using. Like for example, I can set it at 3.9ghz (that is the highest base default boost it can do, despite any cooler) all cores at as low as 1.13xxx volts. That is mostly stable on games if you use up to 30% or less of the CPU, including some spikes in usage. But when you leave it default (and yes, default stuff use more than it needs to) it goes up to 1.3. That is a massive difference. So you're like "Ok, I need a tradeoff between not too far from default but not as high". I found so far that 1.15-1.17 or so is completely ok (for gaming, as long as the game doesn't use majority of your CPU). I haven't tried it with prolonged sessions of rendering video in DaVinci for example, on which surely I will need 1.2 + at least and it'll reach 85-90.
It's just something to keep in mind, if you don't really use that CPU on anything that would take up 100% of usage, you can try to get it as low as possible, with some extra room for any spikes just in case.

I said fuck wow many many times because I personally never cared for it. But now, seeing how Asmon cares, I'm enraged too. Also, all these years stealing features from other mmo's and add-ons, and being "#1" making every other mmo "trash" automatically for many people only to end up like this? No bro, you strap your boots and make it good.
I can also relate. I can't believe I didn't think about this before. But for us who loved the idea of a WoW experience but with a different setting, a lot of us played SWTOR instead. At one point, half the gen-chat in the republic/empire ships was filled with people saying "I quit wow and came here". It was direct competition. And EA decided it wasn't worth it, so they pulled the devs and the game has been in life support, with lootboxes and other shit since after Revan's expansion. It's fucking insane. I hate them for it. They had a fucking gem of a game (with problems and everything!) and they threw it all away. I really don't understand why. And you can't talk to me about profit when the game took like 8 years to make and 300 million dollars. It's ridiculous to me.
Greedy bitches, they killed swtor and now they're killing wow, probably the 2 best mmo's (no, I don't care about your FFXIV) we've had in the west.
And whoever said MMO's are outdated is both 100% right and also 100% wrong. It's somewhat of a fallacy because what has changed, is not just that people grew up. Everyone else did, society did. Everyone became complacent but also demanding, no one wants to work to be rewarded. Fucking losers crying about everything being offended and saying everything is unfair and too hard.
MMO's are not outdated, people are just fucking little crying bitches. I'd agree on one thing. You can't make a new mmo and make it like EQ. It wouldn't make it. You need to modernize. But that is what WoW and SWTOR (and sure, maybe ffxiv too...) did. They were a modernized version of the old school mmo's that were really hardcore and rewarding but also a fucking annoying pain in the ass to play. And companies catered to all these crying pussies because they kept paying. Of course they won't try to make a difficult game. They are going to make shit that everyone can play, at the same time making systems to hinder you as a player so you're stuck like a little cocksucking hamster on a wheel, and you're basically from pay 1 to pay 2 point, without actually advancing in the game.
You know what game came out that does the same? BDO. It's a literal grindfest and all it has (which is no small feat by the way, kudos) are the GPvP.

You're always "a dummy old guy" in videos. This one was serious and I'm like oh shit. If Jay is serious, we are serious.
Amazing video. I will watchi Linus' take now.
And I'm also with you on the fact that I don't care about "features". They are nice sometimes, cool to have them. If you do, great! If they work well, amazing! If they dont' exist, who cares? If your game looks good and runs well, that's it.
Might be my poor person's mind with a mere 580 from AMD talking but I really could not give 2 shits about anything graphical of refractions when:
-Games have reached already an incredible fidelity in graphics
-You have to sacrifice FPS or thermals
-Any NVIDIA card ALWAYS costs more than AMD whether they are a lot better or just a little. Even if a 1060 would've been a bit better I wasn't going to spend 5k more on that just because.
-The games (devs I guess) still haven't figured out how the hell to make lighting more realistic in its behavior, rather than just the looks. Linus mentioned this with CP77 and 3090 video. And I've been experiencing it lately with that in mind. Dark zones are too dark if a brighter zone is near, and the bright zone is blinding. That never happens in real life. They could pay people to try to make that better with no FPS problems, rather than a little muddy splashy puddle having neon refractions. Does it look good? Yes, sure, it looks really good, but at what expense? Also funnily enough in this particular game, anything that is not off or psycho setting for reflections is grainy.
They pay devs to develop technologies for the upcoming beasts cards like the 3080 or 3090. That's fine, but then they downscale whatever they made with no regards on how it works and if you don't have a beast of a PC, you can't play the game without letting it look like shit.

You forget something, Zack.
A piece of audiovisual art (aka a movie) IS the "medium" by which the director, scriptwriters and say in general everyone who makes it, want to put in their point of view. Their ideas, and their ideologies.
The difference is HOW they do it.
Like for example, is not the same presenting a communist character, pro-russia/china and claiming that's the way to go, than to develop a character that adopts those ideals after dealing with bs for years and seeing the injustices of the world that in turn turned him into that type of person. Or on the contrary, someone who always tried to share but got fucked in the ass so much he just closed up and thought of working for himself alone.
There are many movies that for example present the case of how morals are not a thing set in stone and how certain situations just happen, without telling you "this is the right way". The Reader is a good one. 12 angry men. Jagten (The Hunt). There are many many more.
So I agree with your analysis, but I think you missed that point. Is not about the "show" most of the times, it's about the "how they do it" and often times they try to push stuff and it's disrespectful. Even if it's a dumb movie, never assume the audience it's dumb or wrong. That is why so many movies fail.

Because Jorge RR Martini is a NOVELIST.
Have you ever played Disco Elysium? The writing (by a novelist) in the game is PHENOMENAL. But it's a videogame, and albeit cut up, it's a bit expansive like a novel. Adapting a book is VERY hard. Especially when you do not have the freedom to do it right.
People forget that to adapt a novel and make it a script and then turn it into a movie, you need a lot of fucking people, places, equipment. Anyone can write a novel. Not everyone can write a GOOD novel. However, not everyone can write a script, let alone a GOOD script.
This is not to defend the screenwriters. They fucked up sure, but how much of that was production getting involved? And ALSO, George had the main core idea in his head, and he was playing it out through his books. Imagine George Lucas had written novels instead of making the films? Star Wars, GUARANTEED wouldn't have been as good. But because George (Lucas) did it on film, and a lot of those people came up with novelty revolutionary ideas for filmmaking, it was a before and after. I bet my soul that, even though the LOTR movies are quite good, even great I'd say, they still probably couldn't hold even close to what the books are.
Just by watching the movies, you can't even really tell what Gandalf is supposed to be. You can see he's a wizard, but he looks more like a battlemage. A knight with a robe and a staff and a bit of magic, instead of the big ass big dick wizard we all would think about.
That and the fact that executives for some reason keep trying to cram in all the social problems into their story, making them suck a lot and make unlikeable characters, means this show will probably fail. Maybe not, especially if it's true and it's a done and done story made by him. But again, adapting a book is not the same as writing a new script directly for something.

Love how Rick starts yelling from half of the video to the end like a mad old man lol
Jokes aside, people in general in all aspects of life have a hard time recognizing when to quit or finish something. This is why things get watered down and worse overtime. Fast and Furious, all the franchises that had more than 1 movie that didn't need it, like Matrix. And same for bands. Slipknot is a band that is just iconic, even though I don't listen to them. But they lost a lot of original members that made the band what it was. Same for Avenged Sevenfold, which I do listen to. After Nightmare, which even though it was Portnoy recording that, the "spinal structure" of stuff although barebones was still done by The Rev. After that, they moved away from that sound and haven't been the same since.
And the thing is with these numbers, that they are true but they are not entirely correct or better say accurate. I use Tidal but let's assume it's Spotify for the sake of it, I would count as a number as well, even though I don't listen to A7X latest stuff. So it would be interesting to see if for Nirvana, Beatles and the rest all the numbers for the albums are sort of even or they correlate with the albums that did best when they came out. Otherwise the "listeners" of a band could be as wide as "i listen to 5 songs" (like I do with Slipknot) to "I'm the most hardcore fan ever". Which is an important context to have in mind, imo.

Edge never took off because it was always shit compared to others. This doesn't mean it was a bad browser, I gave it countless times the opportunity to become my main daily browser, but sometimes after a week or two, other times after a month I found myself with it lacking on stuff or making things complicated for no reason. And this goes BEYOND the fact that "YouTube was slow". Twitch also didn't work properly for me, on two different spec and different level PCs, usually video playback was bad. The rest was fine.
I'm glad they are finally putting it on its own so it can be updated and improved without having to wait for Windows update. But holy fucking shit it doesn't deserve it. It took MSFT 3 years to finally do it, when people have been asking for it 2 years ago. It's dumb.
I'll try it maybe, eventually if I ever get my PC back, but to be honest I don't see why I would ditch Vivaldi, specially now that has Sync. Still waiting on the mobile version. Sadly Edge works fine for me on the phone.
Edit: If this looks like a salty comment, it's because it is. I've always given Microsoft opportunity, with Live things, Skype, Windows 10, Edge, UWP's, even Windows Phone from 7 to 8.1. All they do goes down and dies. Their lack of vision and ability to produce things kills everything they try because they do it in the dumbest of ways.

Someone on a Discord I'm in said they believe this to be outright a scam.
I personally don't believe it, but asked them about it and they gave fair points, the main ones being:
- Apocalypse was supposed to be a combat test BR, yet it had store things you could buy.
- The referrals program has a line on the wiki that says that people will get "quarterly cash prizes". Sounds like a pyramid scheme. Like until the part of getting your sub down to 0, that's fine. But then it also says that embers are used for those quarterly cash prizes it's a bit concerning, considering content creators just make everyone use their link. - I thought this was a fair point, because I thought it was PRIZES. Like a special skin or... a mixer. I don't know. But it clearly says CASH prizes, meaning, they can get money back.
All this based on the assumption that they WILL deliver "a playable game" just not everything they promised and will underdeliver.
Also the argument that, yes it's Alpha but so far everything looks "Unreal-y". Like it's a bunch of assets put together and it looks good naturally because it's UE.
The last argument they gave, which I also heard from a CC who supports Intrepid and Steven was: Why do you keep talking about being fully funded, but all the time keep selling cosmetics every month? And yes I am aware of Steven's/IS explanation for this - but you could populate the world with what you create without selling it every month. It's like they're selling NFTs, just the word "skin" and the game isn't even out or half way there yet.
As I said, I personally don't agree but the statements still hold some truth. The only thing we can do is just wait. The "problem" is in the meantime, people like someone here in the comments will "back them" buying into the alpha (was that 75 dollars or more? Or was it 500 dollars to be able to play?) of a "fully funded game in development". It's a weird concept.

It's not men that have "certain needs". We need to masturbate and release, and so do women. The thing is that biologically we function differently, and even after that socially culture makes sexuality a taboo and masturbating a "wrong thing", specially for the ladies. Not so much today, thank god, but it used to be this way. We're slowly changing it.
In regards to porn, however, is that even if we're very creative and can use our imagination, even the most clever guy will need visual aid support at some point. I'm not really sure how this works or why it is like this, but watching porn is not just about the fantasy. A lot of porn is just "normal" sex, and at some point that experience can be had in real. Is just something else.
Ultimately, I also think it's a big amount of different things cumming together and depends on the person.

Literally loot boxes all over again lmao stupid ass kids
xQc is right. But Charlie is also right. It's not the same that you consciously go spend 2k every month for cards and you just want to see what you get and collect them. However, how do you define "addiction"? Would the choice of spending 2k a month on cards instead of other important things be an addiction? Why? You made the choice. However, you "always make the choice" when you're addicted. The wrong choice. So at what point can you draw the line between "it's fine, it's a hobby" and "it's an addiction". It's difficult and depends on the person and each situation.
We can agree however that seeing it and showing it to a bunch of kids is harmful and could be used in a malicious way.
I remember the PhantomLord case. Him and the others were rightfully banned, or at least I think so from what I've seen and remember from back then. I followed it closely. I watched him back then and I also followed CSGO closely. One thing that pissed me the fuck off was Valve walking away clean without any problem. Because while PL and others used rigged sites to win money with csgo skins, Valve claims "they don't have monetary value outside of the game", which is a lie. First, you need to buy keys with real money to gamble on the RNG of a box (so they literally promoted gambling and thus saving the game with knife skins) and second, if they didn't have any monetary value outside of the game, the sites scams wouldn't be a thing in the first place AND you wouldn't NEED to charge money into your Steam wallet to buy skins in the marketplace. You don't buy them IN GAME. And not with in-game currency. You can play the game for free and you can get some skin drops, sure, but c'mon. So saying the skins don't have monetary value outside of it when you can trade them unlike other games, it's dumb. And no one said nothing about it.

I'm sorry for your loss and thank you for your service. The true heroine.
I thought I knew what I was getting into, but holy fucking shit I did NOT know what I was getting into.
Generally I'm pretty lax when it comes to "judging" stuff from people and whatever. I just don't give a fuck, you know? But this one isn't even a doubt. It's a straight up big ass NOPE from start to finish.
Edit: I think the "pedophilia vs pederasty" thought, comes not from the place of normalizing sexualizing children or whatever, but the fact that he was getting technical with it.
Of course, IN CONTEXT, all of us sane people wouldn't really care about technicism, but it is important to note that just in case the law needs it (we know how the law loves technicisms and wording).
If a "serial killer" fantasizes about mass murder, but never comits it, unless they tell you, you would never know they think about that. Like, they are not really a serial killer. One could argue YOU are one, for saying, repeatedly in this video "to the electric chair!". But we know you're not a killer. You know what I mean? I think that one was a little bit taken out of context/too literal from your part and a great example of this is in the video itself, the clip before that saying they are hot is ????????????.
Now I'm not saying it's "ok" to have any business with children other than raising them (and all of what that entails). But I don't know if you can choose what things attract you sexually or if they just happen, I guess it's a bit of both and it also has to do with your own childhood and other stuff. Let's say you are attracted more to black men than others. That is not something you really "choose" and it's not right nor wrong. OF COURSE that is not having children in the middle, but what I'm saying is I don't think people choose to have paraphilias (zoo, necro, pedo). In my opinion, that guy made an important distinction to note not in the sense that "being a pedophile is ok but a pederast isn't", but in the sense of a pedophile might have not done anything yet, so it'd be really important to keep a close eye on them, where as the pederast is an actual perpetrator.
Idk if I made sense but I think I did, at least on the surface. All in all, putting all that aside, even the thought of a kid doing anything sexual is so uncomfortable to me. And I'm pretty low on my limits and the things that really disturb me. So in general, stay away from children and Netflix and others should fucking stop.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [End of simple comment; long excerpt coming]--------------------------------------------
I don't know if people will agree with this or not and I just wanna put it in case anyone wants to read and to take it off my head, but I'm in film school and I was thinking how we, as artists or content creators (or communicators), explore stuff. And all this regarding Cuties and TikTok stuff, I started thinking about Instagram and then other movies too. Like this 14 years old on TikTok is overweight. Now I know, fat shame bla bla. But generally speaking, you can see she's overweight. Not by much, but some and like whether or not she likes it is also a thing. Maybe she stays that way forever and it's ok, it's on the healthy side. But maybe not. And having 1.4M followers or whatever does NOT give the impression that she's "ugly" or "overweight". I guess most of those people are thinking "she's thicc"? Also probably most not knowing she's 14 bc of the way she acts and what she shows? I know this happened some years ago with Billie Eilish when she was like 15 or something. Maybe it's just me, but I would think that letting this 14 year old know about weight issues (responsibly, not to make her obsessed or depressed about it) would be a priority for her own sake and health? But instead she's out and about doing all this.
And when it comes to movies, now with all this Cuties thing I started thinking about it and I found myself really bothered by the fact that it's really hard, or almost impossible to actually draw the line, without personal bias/values/beliefs, between "it's art" or "I'm just portraying a controversial topic to make it visible and talk about it" vs "this is literally how I feel and I'm telling you about it in the open".
Think about "A Serbian film" or "Irreversible". ASF has an ending scene where the father is penetrating his dead son. And Irreversible has an 8 minute raping scene. Think about those metal songs that say stuff like "you lay there in the coffin in my backyard, and later on I'm ejaculating inside your empty skull". It's like what the fuck? Is it actually for a bigger "punch" or "more drama" or is it something that you truly feel about it and are expressing it?
Same with hentai (anime pornography) and those tentacle demons raping the elven girls. I know it sounds a bit ridiculous, but whether it's fantasy or not, fake and a drawing, it IS an idea and it's expressed.
And on another example that isn't as dark. Think about American History X. It's a great movie imo. But think about that face on the curb scene. You can literally hear the teeth being placed against the curb, to which later on Edward Norton kicks his head in. It's a really hard to watch and powerful scene. I am sure some racist fuck out there saw that and felt a lot of joy in it.
And even in this video, we all know Sydney and understand it's "a joke" (maybe, idk xD) but she does say "Bring back the electric chair". And a lot of people could have issues with that as well.
I guess what I'm trying to point out is how do we ACTUALLY draw an objective sane and positive line for things, without at the same time controlling what we make as content. And sure, this Cuties one is quite literal. You have 11 year old kids being sexualized on screen. It has no debate, at least to me. However, it raises the question: Are other ideas that are on that same spectrum of "twisted/dark" OK to be out there because it only has the consentment of people who are "legal"?.
If you think about it, if you're 26 like me or older, you'd think and rememebr that at 18, you were PRETTY FUCKING DUMB. We all were and are. 18 is not THAT much different than 16, generally speaking, and not much different than 20 (or 21 for those silly countries like US :P). Of course it depends on the person, how they were raised and how they decided to spend their time or what to learn. There ARE 16-18 year olds that are super smart, keen, and won't be fooled or get themselves into really stupid situations. But we're wouldn't debate these topics for them, we would do it for the other ones that either get put into those situations or put themselves out of ignorance/not knowing better, right?
So my thought is, at what point can we say something is ok or it isn't? The argument could be that is made for "Visibility" or whatever, and since they are all 18+ y/o consenting, it SHOULD mean they "understand" the implications of what they are doing. And it'd be a stupidly valid argument.
The kids one is too obvious so I leave it aside. Also, there's a beautiful Korean movie called "Hope" (or "Wish", depends) where it touches on a little girl being raped, but from a whole different point of view. It makes the topic visible and how horrible it is, without making the subject something sexual. So YOU CAN showcase "hard to talk about" things in a very subtle manner or in a curated form that is not disgusting to watch and still leaves you thinking about it. But generally speaking, it looks like we do need some much more established guidelines for content creation and I hate to say it, but wouldn't that be cancel culture? Lol.
Or do we leave it as is, and we appeal to the majority of people's good common sense and that if something is made in an ugly way they wouldn't like it?. The thing with that is majority of people aren't the ones who are like this or watch these things with joy, or are they? I don't know. Maybe they are.
The end, thanks for comming to my TEddy talk.

As someone with no money and due to country no real availability to pick from a plethora of options, I came back now to play swtor a decade+ old game and whatever they did to it, it fudged the game up. Look how they massacred my boi! It was never "peak performance", perhaps of how it was built, perhaps the engine but I used to run it with an i3 3220, 8gbs of DDR3 RAM and an R7 270x.
Now with a 2600, 16gb of DDR4 and an RX 580 I get these ass frametimes. And you might be saying yeah well, it's an unoptimized mmorpg from 10 years ago. But even though WoW might not work "the best", I bet you can run it with this machine maybe without major problems. CSGO you could get 1000fps even though it was an old game if the machine was capable enough.
Now we got both CS2 (cities and counter strike) being a mess on performance, new games not performing well after the initial 15 minutes of gameplay, games not leveraging the GPUs, or not using the hyper trheading/SMT feature of the CPUs, etc.
And at the same time, parts have an increased cost and a drop in support from companies. So it used to be that running 2 GTS 8 thousand in SLI gave you the POWAH, now if you run SLI you're a dumb idiot (for the most part).
So I feel companies have gotten way lazier in testing and optimization both for parts and for games and other stuff. So now, even if someone like Jay (a buyer with the money to afford these builds for example), is in the REAL WORLD scenario where: You spend 700 dollars on a CPU only to have "quirks". Bitch, gtfo here. If it's a new platform/tech, sure, early adopter shenanigans have always been a thing. But I remember back in the day you would stretch your wallet and buy something like the Asus Crosshair mobo to be damn sure that shit run well like a precision german engineering machine. Now you could buy a 3090, and suddenly playing New World (I KNOW IS NOT THE GAME'S FAULT SPECIFICALLY) you get your gpu FRIED!?
I think the true best advice right now is not "vote with your wallet", that will never truly work. But don't buy out of emotion and don't buy halo products. Go for the actual best top value. If the 7900X is the top dog cpu that actually performs as expected, then go for htat one. And if it's the 5900X, then go for that one. Even if it's not the newest latest, truly how much more performance could you get out of it that is totally game changer on your day to day usage? Because it seems sometimes going for the "most powerful" build nowadays, is only throwing away your money and asking for trouble. If I'm going to run into "quirks" and stupid shit, I might as well spend 1k dollars instead of 3.

I PROMISE I will finish the entire video, because I am interested. But I'm back on Windows because yes, while I know I went "the hard route" using Endeavour (the best distro I've found for me), I think the biggest thing with Linux in general is what you say in the very beginning: "If you know what you're doing" and "might need a little love and tender".
The reality is, even if you're "tech savvy" and fix your family's shit all the time and understand things overall... I still don't understand and can't really learn what -R -T -Q means or which one goes first when you have to input commands into the CLI. There's a lot of different things to understand to make Linux usable without worrying about the fact you can't open your 5 years old daughter's mp4 video for whatever reason. (this is an exaggerated example, surely Linux Mint can do this with no issues).
But one day, maybe you go through the GUI to install Steam and you nuke your system. You know that happened to LINUS SEBASTIAN. Imagine the rest of us mortals who have A) no real knowledge B) no availability of resources (besides google).
I couldn't tell you no matter how stable a distro is and how easy it is to use, I would never prefer my mom, hands of fire, have that happen on a Linux machine. She had trouble signing into Google... actually didn't know she was signed already and she was accessing a different page. Imagine. She's a doctor btw, so she can destroy your life if you hand her your computer, but save your life if you have a medical issue. And I think this is something Linux people don't quite get: a lot of people in general are dumb to things they don't know, care about or use in general. And I am well aware that "Linux people" is basically all of us/the community so unifying under ONE banner alone is never going to happen. And I'm also aware what happened to Linus was like a "one time thing" and it was also regarding gaming.
But if my mother had to download something like onlyoffice to use, install, and then say install the fonts, she might as well be dead. That is why in many cases, Windows is better. Its established. And that is why, SADLY, a lot of people in the US have Apple devices.

"She and X are just bad" some say.
This is exactly why Dr K is THE RIGHT PERSON to do this and why Steph is one of THE BEST person to interview right now.
Great video Doc, as always. Keep it up!
I would encourage you to actually be proud of the dislikes. It means you are bringing up topics and/or people others dislike, which means we NEED to talk about it. Now, here's my take and my 2c's to Steph:
As someone who is honest and direct, even been called "brutally honest" before, there's no denying my ways aren't always the same (edit: meant to say best). Even if I also scrutinize and pick my words specifically, and what I'm saying is a true fact, it comes off rude and aggressive. I'll use the example of your clip.
Now that you've explained yourself, I AGREE with you 100% on the fact that: A lot does not mean "most" or "all" and the fact that you did say "a lot of". It's a fact, it's on video. I think the issue is "gamers". Society has a big issue of feeling alluded for certain things they might not be part of. I was one of those "gamers" on the outside feeling "attacked" or "threatened" thinking it was your perception of "most of us" being white supremacists and whatnot (which is also a common narrative nowadays, so that doesn't help your case). If you had said "A lot of you in chat" or "a lot of you" in general, it'd be different. You are also correct in the fact that "a lot" depends on context. That is why to me "gamers" is the problem. There's millions of gamers across the world. Imagine if you said something like "A lot of basketball players are so dumb". Does that mean most or all of them? No. But now (because of what I stated before regarding society) a lot or most (or all) of basketball players are going to start wondering A) is it me you talk about? or B) Why do you think that about US?. Being X means you're part of a group. It could be applied for transgenders or LGBTQ as well, where they rage and cancel everything. Listening to you here it shows you think your stuff through, plenty. And it was wonderful. So maybe you wouldn't care personally, but MOST would care if I said "A lot of transgenders are fucking crazy" (read this with a Joe Rogan voice and now you have another drama clip, lol).
So all in all you used the right words and you stated a true fact. However the targeting of a group made it sound like from such an insanely large group around the world, A LOT of them were what you said. And keep in mind, at least colloquially, we use "a lot" to say "there's much of something" (and not little). You never say "there's a lot going on" when there's just one thing happening in your life. You say a lot when there's 3 or 4 or more stuff happening which in terms of life going, are many things at once.
Also, I hate the fact everyone made content out of the clips and none of them had you to talk about it like Dr K did. I hope I can get things soon to start my stream and start the show I want to make, so those things don't happen.

It's funny that you say Valorant, CSGO, Smite. Those are games were gear does matter. In Smite, your champion level and gear (if it has gear, I don't remember) matters. Same for LoL and I assume same for Dota 2. All MOBAs. And sure you can make strategy, but if you have to clash with the enemies for something, and you are underleveled and undergeared, you're going to get a new hole. Unless the other team is truly exceptionally bad and misses every skill.
On the contrary, CSGO and Valorant (or FPS for that matter specially the sim ones) are better in that regard where some weapons allow you to do certain plays or match up against more powerful weapons if you've got the skills for it. For example, say the other team has AKs, you can 1Deag one or two or more people. But when it comes to firepower, recoil, control, etc. the AKs are still much better.
Even in SWTOR where in warzones (I believe that was the name of the pvp arenas) people would get "Bolstered" as in, from level 15 up to 54 would get stats and such, if you were level 15 or 20, you still lacked some states, passives and more importantly skills. It didn't matter that you had a damage of 1400 like the level 50 guy, because the level 50 had plenty more skills to use. And if they had better gear with certain passives, those still applied. So in the end, higher level and better gear matter.
There is not one videogame that has PvP that works well for most people without taking into account level and gear. It's inherent in competition, having an advantage over others. Why do some NBA teams try to get 2 or 3 super stars. Why not just make all the teams play with similarly skilled players? It's just dumb. No one wants to see that. And even if they do, competition, inherently has different skill levels on itself. People are different and they are better or worse at something so at some point, if you put 2 people doing the same thing one is going to do it better.
Conclussion: What we need is games that reward players who play more/harder, without necessarily punishing the other players like there's no tomorrow. And people need to accept this. There's millions of people playing CoD and FIFA (to give examples); the ideal scenario is that everyone can have some tools at their disposal to stay alive or kill the enemy/win the match and not that you jsut get fucking rolled. In MMO terms, if you are fresh level 30 and you get ganked by a level 50 and decimated, that is not fun. As long as you put some systems in place to sort of give balance or prevent stupid exploits, it should be fine.

EDIT: Also, you mention about CoD not granting him a code. The doc has a link for turtle headphones, I clicked on it, and it took me to a 404 page. However on the "influencers" part, he still appears on the page. So Idk if maybe that's just a mistake or is related.
I wish they would be more lax or contextual in situations like this. Like you ban a person, they can't "use" the platform as a streamer and that's fine, but then not letting others? If you suspect or can find out there is use of "3rd party" (2nd streamer) making the stream for the banned one, then sure, enforce the policies. But making it so FAR to remove them entirely even remotely, only gives someone like Doc more power. Which I love, by the way. I can't love the 2 time is able to spill all the beans, if he ever can.
They could get away with a lot of content creators that are not so big, but the Doc is THE DOC. He's too big to just cut him away and try to prevent him from appearing nowhere near the stuff. All companies would have to "kill him" (metaphorically) to try to make it happen and even then, he's already the doc. It's like caging a wild animal.

I don't wanna complain about stupid shit, but seeing as this channel shows positives and negatives, my suggestion is just put cop. You don't put "male cop" or "male police officer", so I don't understand the distinction. A cop is a cop, a soldier a soldier, a doctor a doctor.
Also is the man's name "Manual"? Because that in Spanish means manual, literally. I'd assume the correct name would be Luis Manuel García.
About the video, I speak both English and Spanish. Most people are saying she did things wrong. I agree - but do not forget he's coming out of a ... bush? Like what the fuck is that. He's also meddling with bags apparently and he's not being compliant to what the officer is saying. He's responding with bullshit. It's easy, listen to the officer, say "I'm going to do this", they let you do it and then that's it. The more stuff you answer without complying, the worse it is. And then the guy starts running. When he gets shot, you don't know if in that split second the officer will get hit or not.
Again, she did things wrong, she should've de-escalated probably, also taken distance and we've seen plenty of times officers do, specially if the subject has an item on their hands. But this isn't entirely some form of wild execution. At least it doesn't seem like it. She says she knows who he is, so maybe it was, lol.

No Zack, is not that you don't get it. It's that is pure shit.
You go back to WoD or WoTLK cinematic. When Arthas starts walking, everything is frozen. What do you hear? There is this "angelical" voice by itself, alone, that is actually "cold" (or that's the feeling it gives). It's like calming but also very chilling.
When Darth Maul is about to fight Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, what do you hear? Duel of Fates. You hear the good and the evil in that piece fighting, with the strong chorus on the back. The ending scene of Vader in Rogue One, what do you hear? FUCKING NOTHING. It's just silent, the alarm is going off, everyone shuts up, you hear the door. Suddenly you hear heavy breathing with the alarm in the back a-la-silent-hill. It's just fucking great.
Hell, even Formula 1 intro theme composed by Brian Taylor is fucking amazing. It starts strong, with rythm and energy. The drum fills on the toms jsut go FAST, like the cars and their engines. Then it has flow and pace, the shit started. Then comes a bridge, uncertainty, what the fuck is going to happen? We don't know, the guys are racing. Then a second slow part with nothing, moments of tension and then the beginning comes back again, it's the resolution of the epic battle.
This FFXIV trailer gave me Godfall trailer vibes showing knights and swords with a rap in the back, lol.
PS: i forgot if you did this, but you should do a reaction to every swtor trailer.

You said perhaps mounts aren't the solution. Perhaps fast travel isn't either.
I think it has to do with the issue, it's related of course, but I think it feels more dreadful than it should be traversing the world, because there's nothing. And the questing is atrocious.
It's mindless, it's boring, it's FAST. If the questing took time, your 10 mins traverse would happen once in a day or longer. It wouldn't force you to do it every other 20 mins to go back and forth between the quest place and the stupid ass NPC on top of a stupid rock that they decided to put it in for whatever reason making you go back and UP and DOWN and forward.
And the world isn't as big as it feels so stuffing things into it wouldn't feel great either. I think the problem comes from the core design of the world, that was made around the core design of the systems that aren't great in the first place.
The world IS beautiful. But it's also quite the "stitched zones" type of world.
Stupid example but in Elden Ring, I was watching your videos the other day and you were in some type of castle or whatever and at some point you found a door. It was after a short stairs going down. It felt totally in place yet it wasn't a main "part" of the zone, if that makes sense.
Like in NW going to the beach or to the caves or to the graveyard, you sometimes have to cross 2 or 3 zones to reach the one you need and then back, and it's not like they are evolving zones with settlements each where say you get a quest of a help message and then you go there and spend probably a day trying to solve the issue. It's back and forth between the zone and the NPC outside of it or inside the town.
There's also few landmarks with some caves, skele-towers and the corrupted spots. After that there's nothing, no restricted zones, no real hidden places, etc.
They do have a very good solid foundation but the whole design of things do feel of lack of vision in the first place and confusion, and they would need to redesign stuff or hurry up, blow the map wide open and create new zones for it to get better (A la A:RR to HW in FF and later expansions, which keep getting better, or so people say).
And overall the whole thing is designed around the nodes, that's why you go back and forth to the town and then when you're finished they send you to a different one. But instead of being localized, they should've played to the strength of players actions and let the map be leveled and scaled to you and just make it open like ESO, so different players grab different nodes and then whatever shit happens. But they made it localized and to have starting zones and a "Linear" questline in a game that was supposed to be PvP focused with node acquisition. You can't really have both and both be good.

I actually do NOT like the Amari change. I mean sure it's hotter and sexier, but it defeats the purpose. Whenever I see a "big strong woman", I always remember Zarya. She wasn't supposed to have a big butt, big tits in the open, etc. For that you had Widow (fun fact, on her ultimate she used to get her butt to increase in size).
In this case, I would agree that maybe she needed SOME changes, maybe make the armor not a fucking green blob representing being overweight as all the characters seem to fit that pattern. But the original concept, looks similar to one of those space marines in 40k or something (I think, I don't know about that game). Also "Captain Amari" reminds me of Ana. Anyway, a slimmer full cover armor would've been super cool.
It reminds me of the anti-bomb squad suit the guy has to wear when investigating explosives. So considering the "body" of the character is literally the armor, making it a bit slimmer to make it look better makes sense. But not this change.
The other 2 were great.

To say that some entity (probably govt) needs to get involved into private matters/affairs regarding cryptos makes no sense. That is the idea of the system. To not be regulated.
I'm just being objective, as personally I still don't fully understand nor believe in cryptocurrencies haha. So It's not like I'm defending it. But I also don't like the idea of govt meddling with personal affairs and we know already how fucked up and corrupt they are with the "normal systems" when they force you to pay money for things and then they go and blow a little loan of a trillion dollars in nonsense.
What would you qualify this as? A scam? Some sort of a crime of tricking people into putting "real money" into something they don't know about? Wouldn't that be like gambling? They would need to shut down all casinos and forms of gambling, including games despite their legal disclaimers of "this is not real currency" like Valve did with CSGO skins.
The funniest of things is, I completely 100% agree with you Asmon on the sense of some people are too stupid to think for themselves. But being fair, that means that while I think socialism is fucking stupid and half of my country wants to keep being poor, they would think the same of the rest of us. Someone at some point, if the idea is to regulate everything for "the better of people", will force you to exercise and eat healthier. Imagine. At that point you can't do what you want. (This was a really stupid hypothetical stretch to make the point).
The most fair thing is the strongest will survive and if you're too stupid to see this bullshit or you believe Earth 2 or DreamWorld are the next big thing, I am sorry, perhaps you need to lose everything for being an idiot. I just don't want to regulate things for the better of them only because someone might want to regulate things for me later, and I hate that. We already have plenty of regulations that fuck us in the ass. Look at Blizzard, regulating your gameplay.

I kinda disliked BDO Character creation over others with slightly less depth, because of:
1- The lighting doesn't match the lighting in game. You can change lighting scenes, but some lighting gives you blue skin and other turn into a delicious caramel color skin. Like let me see the skin how it's supposed to. I remember trying to create a black character, and for me, she was gorgeous. The person I was playing with was "Oh my fucking god why are you so black? You look like coal". (monitor and such also affect this).
2- There were no afros/afro buns or hairstyles of that type. In fact in certain areas where customization could be deeper because it's simpler, such as hair, is very lacking.
3- The XYZ axis don't respect XYZ directions. They depend on other stuff and sometimes whether or not the character is rotated. Paired with "rotate", "scale" and "move/position", this is a mess. You take double the time figuring out if Y makes the nose longer, shorter, moves it inwards or outwards, etc. It was super annoying. And at the end of the day the walking anim/standing position are very "sexy generic korean game booba" and if you could change them I don't know because at that moment I spent 2 and a half hours, and I didn't want to mess with any more sliders ruining it.
Edit: And the boob / ass editing isn't even that great to merit all that shit. It's fine, but it isn't great.
That said, it is one of the best by far, no question. I would just prefer a in-between something like Archeage/PSO2 and BDO. In the middle of that. Simple to use, but in depth on selection and sliders.

I have some moments, and they mostly belong to SWTOR since that's the game I played the most (not the most time).
- Doing some raids and being taught/helping out in them
- Having and playing decently a Jedi Guardian, only to be ambushed by two bitch ass sith in a open area PvP server, only to smack their buttcheeks and get on my speeder and keep going to my god damn pve quest (although my true main was a marauder later on, hours and hours farming creds to buy outfits)
- Telling stories on teamspeak and making friends with different people, and having 2 of them laughing at my impressions of NPC's voices and one saying "wow, that's the best butthurt I've ever heard" due to my accent
Playing Rohan, in the beginning, there was a guild with tons of truly friendly people and this "girl" let me borrow one of her swords, which was shit but higher level and for me it was a fucking upgrade. I felt powerful. It took 20 seconds to kill mobs now instead of 40.
Overall it was about the people, I guess. And nowadays, it's hard to find people with whom you can be cool, joke around and have everything be ok. Also, to an extent, the trend of "creating character and being max level in 2 hours and following the icy veins guide to the T because that's the best numbers" kind of killed the journey/incentive of adventure/exploration/experimentation, in my opinion.
I understand and somewhat agree with you when you say "Why wouldn't I follow the meta and guides, it's the best way to play the game" but while numbers might be better, sometimes the playstyles are not. You are an example of this, playing Fury Warrior doing bottom damage but it doesn't matter because people in your guild in game are either long time guild members or friends or already know you don't give a shit. You're Asmon, and viewers just wanna chill with you so it doesn't matter. Everyone laughs all good. But a lot of us don't have anyone, so if we want a spot, we have to fall into that category of the guides done by min maxxers. That is one of the thrills that MMO's lacked for the longest time now: CONSEQUENCE. Not just bad ones, but like let's say you have gas powers and then acid = melt the monsters' defenses. Or water and thunder = stun, etc. A lot of games have gear score (or item level) to determine tiers, and then it's either melee/physical or magical/range and that's where they draw the numbers. Patch after patch they buff and nerf different things meaning you sometimes have to change if you want to stay on top. There's no "general widespread balance" when it comes to powers and classes and the fights. Now there are some fights that favors range, others favor melee... but neither are balanced to give some opportunity to both of doing their work. Imagine having someone who plays a smoke mage. Smoke mage sucks, no one likes it. But there's this one motherfucker that played smoke mage his entire life and even the numbers aren't great but hold on, smoke skills give 2nd attribute to the rest of skills for debuffs. So in teh end, that one idiot is actually quite important to synergize with teh rest of the people. This is one of the elements that is also "social" that has disappeared. You need SOME mechanics here and there, you need others sometimes, but if you're geared, you can overpower anything, generally speaking. You used to really need a tank that was paying attention and knew his stuff or at worst, you'd train them. I remember having Predation with the marauder, it's basically a short CD speed boost for the raid. And no one had thought of that, also almost no one played marauder because a lot of fights were better as range and/or their damage was better. It was a good skill to pop here and there when we needed to dodge stuff.
It goes beyond the classes/jobs, just the auction house, just LFR, etc. It's everything at its core, as a game, where you need others and others need you, or you hate others and others hate you.

I will comment my utopia:
Some good but also really smart people create a new processor, motherboard and such. Perhaps it can be compatible with available ram and other things, so just Mobo and CPU. They make it from scratch to be open source, and work on open source such as Linux. The part where they prototype and test it... idk how that would go. After that, you have Linus and others test it. Like REAL test it and solve the major bugs. Then you release to the public, and with the adoption, even if it's not that big, you can set yourself to get help from the community on bug fixing for a stable product. Once stable, assuming people would adopt it more (including businesses like tuxedo and such, instead of using intel), you can ramp up production. Previously before anything started you presented the project with a timeline. Now we're at the part were you scaled up production of these 2 parts and sold them. After this, you create peripherals that work well with Linux, so we can all have RGB and fancurves directly baked on Linux. No stupid proprietary software that is just shit. And after the first "default" (or reference) samples work well enough, the code is then opened to everyone so more people or companies could build their own mice or keyboards with the same base code so it works, but perhaps they have different design ideas and stuff.

I'm sorry, but if you play KCD, you won't find this too hypers.
I've never played Skyrim but I did play ESO. I feel this game is the child of both. And to be honest, KCD's combat isn't that great. Is not bad, it's "innovative" maybe, it's interesting and sometimes like 1v1 or 1v2 if you're good already and have stats and weapons/armor is fun. But other than that is kinda crap, and KCD you play offline with no lag. I can't see this working online except it's servers for 250 people that are all around the same area (having the same ping).
Also, this suffers from the same thing as FPS that try to be realistic. There's one thing you can't replicate in games (for now or without VR), and that is moving eyes and moving heads or parts of the body in different directions or at different times. That is why "realistic FPS" always have that one thing that is fucked up, and why 1st person melee combat is disorienting.
By the way, you should play KCD. I bought it after (I'm not trolling) I've had insane fun watching McConnell play it on stream. I laughed my ass off. So I bought the game and I played it for like 70 hours. It's a really good game overall. I'd give it 8.5+ out of 10.
Also a lot of people have said devs didn't seem to have learnt anything from the first game.

Speaking of TED talks, there are two that I think could go hand in hand for people to learn and (somewhat) move past traumatic situations they've been in:
- The guy who went to KKK rallies
- How to fix a broken heart
Often times, as humans and our need to "lable" things as well as categorize, will group good and bad things accordingly to their own features, traits, elements, etc. This is variable, depending on each person's ability to be patient, tolerant and curious enough to know about each thing without stereotyping and grouping everyone all the time.
So things happen like a BLACK MAN, dressed in a certain way robs you on the street, now, next black guy you see dressed like that you're going to assume. Some people take that to an extreme point, understandably, and shut themselves to the idea or option that this other person may look the same but may be completely different. So a woman having a really bad situation or several (it can happen) will make her go with the idea that men are shit and they are all wife beaters. Same with a guy having his gf cheat on him or having several bad situations with women, could end up saying they're all hoes and he doesn't care about serious anymore.

If anyone of you have been to therapy and have had no solution, your therapist was either bad or just wasn't the right one for you. Do not give up.
This might offend some professionals, but it's the truth. Some of you are just plain bad at your job, and some of you are just plain bad people, which is worse. There's bad cops, bad doctors, and people who connect a 20g wire or something on an ipod 2 and let it stick out.
People being bad at their job is not a rare thing, sadly. And it happens in all shapes and forms, across the entire world, across different lines of work. But don't think that because 1 therapist was bad with you, means everyone else is.
Just keep trying. You can give yourself a month or two of a "break" between trying again, but don't wait too long and don't give up.
Also in case you're a gamer (or even if you're not a gamer), you might want to check out HealthyGamerGG, by Dr K (not sponsored, just a good human being doing good work).

Hello Veronica. Excellent video as always. Maybe it's because I'm entering the "older" realm (the prelude if you will, since I'm not old yet at 30 but...) but I have this feeling that if we all had teachers like you, the world would be a better place and we would all be super smartz. Or smartzer, even. And I don't mean just 1 teacher, I mean if all of them explained things as well as you do.
Second, I have heard from Brodie about the jub-jub incident. Oh, hold on. That's Han Solo. I meant to say dub-dub. I'm from Latin America however I do use my things in English (which creates other annoyances, but I digress). I have not had translations or dubbing automatically yet. Except on SOME videos (like a channel from my country - in Spanish - would have their 2 years old memebrs only videos have their titles be in English for me now, but not the new videos they upload...) and most of those are Spanish. However most of the content I watch is in English. So my assumption is that YouTube now grabs the language you have set on your page and thinks "Ah, Engrish, that means all must be Engrish!" and does it for you. Apparently, folks from Spain for example, that use YT in Spanish but occasionally watch English content, will have that content titles' translated/content dubbed.
I know they won't do this because big corporations are really set on to make the example of looking like complete idiots 24/7 but, my easy 2c fix for them (and I say it here because imagine sending them an e-mail hoping someone would read it and implement it) would be for them to A) add the option in preferences to automatically translate/dub and B) add the option to add languages to never translate, since I don't think the idea is completely horrible. In my case for example I'd set Spanish, English and Portuguese to never be translated but if something is in Korean or Japanese, I might need a bit of help.
YouTube, if you read my comment, please do this.

That is true. I didn't like Susan, but only for the reasons you mentioned. Bad changes, took 540 years to make them, didn't listen. But not because of her specifically. I don't know if she played it or if it was herself, but on Ludwig podcast she seem pretty fucking cool. And to top it off, she's not just a "tech business ceo". She worked at Google before that. Like she's been around and knows her shit very well. And the involvement you mention is true. I know WHO the CEO was and could say things (good or bad) about her. I didn't know that Shear guy was the CEO of Twitch, lmao.
Regardless, she's not my best friend and I don't know her IRL so I have to assume that anything I heard or saw she say publicly was to save face and keep that CEO character for the company and investors. I have to guide myself through the actions and as such, even if it wasn't her own fault (we can't really know, because that happens internally), the primary conclusion is she did a bad job.
My biggest concern now, is that we keep the same path, which is shit, or someone like Musk takes over which is going to tip the scale to the other side which is equally garbage and idiotic. And I just don't wanna deal with that shit lmao. But I think it's going to be someone similar to her and YouTube is going to be the same or worse. I would love to be proven wrong however.

The problem there is no change when one of the most popular games, for example, is EFT by BSG. Have you seen the state of that unfinished "beta" game?. And it's 50 DOLLARS for the cheapest version. There's literally no change possible as all the companies have set foot on this "do some bullshit and charge you for it" market, and people will buy it. Because there is NOTHING ELSE TO BUY and most people are NOT <_not going to play with their friends_> because of some silly values that will not do anything. Look at FIFA, 2K NBA and CoD. They are buggier and lazier than gacha mobile games! At least the gacha games have good art style and anime girls with big tits.
Thankfully, Ubisoft doesn't have much going for them. FarCry and maybe Ghost Recon. Perhaps R6 and The Division is basically dead even if the game is still up. Oh, and Assassin's Creed. They get a lot of money from console sales as well for casual gamers that don't even think about this or can't really choose.
We're too far in into this crap, and it's happened all around us in every market. Only select companies "keep it straight" but the rest play the dirty game, often times also having a monopoly (or partial), so our "freedom to choose" is just a fluke. There's some bleak negativity for you, lol.
On a second note, could you do a short video on what microphone do you use and why have you gone with that one instead of any of the other popular ones? (not saying they're better just popular). It's just a silly variety content where you can be more relaxed and not upset (I Hope) about stupid company practices. I'm also interesting in knowing about that blue man's dick (joke).

I don't know if it's just a different perspective, or actually because this was written (or co-written) by a woman. I know how that sounds, hear me out. Overall, I disagree with the premise, even though it was a good well produced video.
1 - No, they wouldn't sponsor "drag queens" otherwise they would be kings, and if they're transgender... that's a whole another discussion. It's like promoting period pads to men. Or should I say, biological males, to not offend anybody. We, biological males, do not (and CANNOT) bleed once every month. We do not get periods so marketing pads to us would be one of the stupidest things ever. It makes sense that a "gentle ball (testicles) trimmer" is marketed towards the basic figure that has them: men. If any trans woman wants to buy it to trimm her balls, then so be it. But she isn't the main demographic.
2 - Seeing manscaped ads did not make me want to buy manscaped. I also can't because as far as I know, it's NA/EU and some other countries only. And even if I could, it would be a bit of a waste of money. I could buy something else entirely. This was a great point in the video: You don't need a "ball trimmer" to trim your balls, you just need something to trim them and be careful. Just like I use a tiny sewing scissors to temporarily trim my mustachio. Is it the best tool? Probably not. But it works.
Back to the point - It didn't make me want to buy manscaped specifically, but it did make me think of sometime in the future, buying a tool to "cut down" and maintain the pubic hair zone (and balls). This isn't "oh, I want to be a man like on the ads!". It's more like I asked my gf, she said she doesn't really mind but prefers it to be trimmed. So that's it.
Personally, I prefer a maintained/shaved crotch in women for that matter. I don't really care if your opinion is that you prefer "the natural" look or whatever. It just does not look great and it could come with other issues as well.
3- The two points above together, conclude into this one: They are not portraying "what a man should be" but rather "what a man COULD do" without it feeling weird. And it is something that for ages women have talked about. How men "don't take care of themselves". And it's also basically being the most basic dude, being a basic dude. The premise of the idea of the ads is not "showing you what to become" but rather you already are that... now you can just make it a bit prettier.
I thought the video was actual problems with the company/products but it's just a subjective opinion piece which you could agree with, but does not make it right (and me disagreeing with it does not make it wrong either). It does have some interesting facts and kind of like "historical marketing" which was nice to have present but overall the main idea is missing the mark. It's not a "manscaped" issue - it's literally the market. A lot of people say buying the pink razor costs more because of "patriarchy", and it's just plain stupid. It's literally because your market has more value and all of you went ahead and bought those just because it had a different color. This is the same thing. If you want to buy manscaped you will pay the "brand premium", just as stupid as if you in real life bought an Apple product. Or a BMW. Or an HP printer.

Those bottom feeders are, as annoying as they might be, the actual thing that makes an mmo feel alive. Not only for the story, but whatever the fuck they are doing, even if it's E-RP fucking behind a rock in a zone where you go gather some flowers, it's something. It's something, outside of the game, that is there, "living" in that world, doing things. And is not tied nor bound to the developers' ideas, time, skills, etc. It's literally each person creating something.
The big mistake Blizzard did imo, was cater to the casuals and bottom feeders instead of having good content aroudn the main focus: hardcore raiding. Now I know raiding is great in wow, and maybe it's still really good now despite everything else. But the way they've done everything else makes everything obsolete, even the good things. It's happened to swtor, and it's happening to wow now.
Another thing, Square Enix and FF is Japanese. There's a massive culture difference in work and how you do things between Japan and the West (not just US).

Could we have the re-test video divided into segments PER update? Like a baseline first with ALL the data of your starting point, and then each segment contains the best/major performance changes (negative and/or positive) in comparison, each segment adding an update each time.
Not sure if I'm explaining myself right, but I feel that video is going to be an INSANE time and energy sink for you guys, and it'll end up being like 30 minutes of a huge vomit of data with all the different updates happening. No updates applied, all updates, just one update, one on one off, then the other way around, then how much % gains each update brings (if any) etc, etc.
Ancient Gameplays did this test already with Windows update and it was an excellent video, but if that keeps changing over and over is going to be insane. Maybe think of a way of making it digestible for us idiots.

I was just researching something... I forgot what it was. About an issue of removing some stuff. And one of the comments said something along the lines of "I forgot that Linux is not like Windows where you can add/remove programs and usually it removes them alone and safely (for the most part) - On Linux there's a higher chance that cleaning or removing something will break some dependency and then fuck something else up".
THAT is personally for me, as a linux noob user, one of the biggest problems Linux as a whole has and it is NOT solved with a GUI package manager / software installer-updater.
The argument you and some others made about people never installing an OS or updating is 100000% correct. A lot of people barely know how to turn the computer on, click on the browser button and navigate the web. And that is enough for them. My mom even though she's smart enough to be a doctor and save your life, you might as well be DEAD FOUR TIMES before she understand what the cloud is 🤣 and she doesn't understand that "she logs in once and the browser saves your passwords" (You don't need to write 50 passwords down in your notebook!). So imagine having to work around the workaround of having an office suite look-alike and god forbid something weird happens or something normal but important, like not having courier or arial font to use.
But overall, things don't need to get stripped from their features or the way they work. Just the base system, imo, where you don't need to manually install dependencies and repositories and such, and then copy the text in your terminal that has gone wrong and ask some people in a forum to check it for you. Or having your GUI manager have a problem.
Now I understand is easier said than done, because a lot of things that cause issue are proprietary. So that's no Linux nor devs fault. But if majority of distros are based on Ubuntu, and Ubuntu uses pulseaudio, PLEASE FIX THE GODDAMN THING. Include an equalizer and make it work well! Could you believe I had a much easier time installing it on Manjaro than KDE Neon? I went with a debian/Ubuntu based distro for the sole reason of installing .deb stuff and not run into issues, lol.
And the fact that things steam from another thing on Linux make it way too hard to make mainstream, to maintain and to make it popular and easy to learn enough for regular people. Just trying to teach them about Linux > Debian / Arch /Ubuntu/RPM-Fedora is a whole afternoon.

No need to go so high, my 2600 6 core CPU is also clearly showing its old man's age without reaching 100% utilization ever (in games).
Not too long ago, someone (maybe Jay) said something like "we're not in the times anymore when you would buy an i7 and keep it for years until. Buying an amazing high end CPU is not needed anymore" (paraphrased) in reference to nowadays having things like a 7600 or something that can play games just fine. And it is somewhat true, IF the IPC and other stuff of the higher end skus is not higher (meaning you will only go up a few Mhz in speed and core count) then yes, you can get by with that one. But at that point, you could also buy a 4c/8T and be ok with it as well. However these situations where your CPU is aging and even if in the future we see more games leveraging core counts. Buying a great CPU to make sure the system runs smooth and the GPU gets used 100% is still a thing. So it's never a waste going with better CPU even to this day.
Also for 1k I can upgrade my PC to something pretty nice (7700, DDR5 32Gb, NVMe SSD, new mobo, new PSU even) - and in US dollars without all the tax bs my country has, probably would be around 600-1000 dollars. And that is because I already have a good enough GPU for 1080p (7600, had a 580).
As someone that clearly can't upgrade as easily or nearly as much, if you are in a similar spot as mine, save your money first. Unless you truly MUST upgrade the rest of parts, I'd say upgrade the GPU first which is the most expensive (or one of the most expensive) today and then when you upgrade the rest, I'd recommend going B chipset for AMD or Intel's equivalent. Jay said they don't have much stuff that improves your day to day use, but I disagree. It has a bit better power delivery in case you want to OC (maybe in the future) or put an upgrade chip down the line if you happen to run into that. It usually has some better I/O and USB stuff and as Jay mentioned, maybe more than 1 x16 slot, and more than 1 NVMe slot. A series mobos are more than enough to "run your components" but if you are hindered by that, you'll end up spending the 80 bucks (or more) for the A series and then another 120 (or more) for the other mobo you might need. Just go with the best one in the middle spot that can also take up to high end processors. It's a steeper spending in the beginning, but it frees you in the future of having to spend again. Gives you some margins as well.

As impressive as the whole preparation and research is for these people, like actually no joke is truly amazing, I find it very very weird someone finds enjoyment in "playing" the games like this.
Because this is not maximizing mechanics that were intended, this is using literally anything possible (officially, no cheats, sort of speak) to get to the end without doing anything other than quit and continue.
If you think about the experience, both viewing and playing experience, is really really odd.
I'm ok with speedrunning games that aren't great (speedrunning as this guy is, not with the proper mechanics and through the game), but I think of all the time and effort devs must have put into this only for a guy in his white underwear "zip line" through the sky to the end.
Edit: He was shaking completing the last run too, and he's shaking now or so he says. I believe him. I'm not making fun of the person at all, but that is some interestingly particular type of human being, to say the least.
I'm also amazed at how long the devs take to fix this, if this can be fixed at all. Maybe they won't/don't want to.

It sounded like McCOnnell was memeing a bit with the radical, equality and whatnot. But the truth is, that games needs to stop to trying to cater to everybody equally. You can't. You can't be ok with everyone in life, you can't cater to every player in game. It's an objective factual truth. It's just impossible.
Players who dedicate hours and hours farming shit or doing whatever they need to do, they need to be rewarded appropriately. And if you're a dad who has only 2 hours every fucking week to play the game, then perhaps you shouldn't be considering becoming a hardcore raider or doing mythic + that require grind and practice (dedication and time basically).
It's very easy, if you're a casual, go to LFD/LFR. If you want to try harder, join a guild and work your ass off to get your ratings up. The only people who are left out, are the ones that don't do neither. I know this because I was a solo player for the most of my time as an mmo player. Yet in swtor I made friends (regulars) and got into guilds. I had my GM literally taking me with a healer alt showing me the ropes of some raids, because I said I don't mind healing and the guild needed healers. Granted, that guild wasn't hardcore but that is the point. Had the guild been hardcore, they wouldn't have been so committed to training me, maybe some in an off chance when they had nothing better to do like helping out a noob, but otherwise I would've had to learn things on my own. If someone wants to leave you out, they will no matter what. Because you're another faction, or a certain class or spec they don't need, or your gearscore or your level or... If you want to be casual, be casual. Use group finder and be part of the broken social system that plagues games nowadays.
If you want to try harder, then get your ass up for it. Stop trying to change systems to feel your needs.

As a PRO-crastinator (professional castornator) and now being older, I've learnt a couple of things and I'd like to push back just a little bit on the "value" part of things. So, Dr K mentions doing the dishes, admin stuff, etc. which to me those are "low level tasks". As a starting point to getting yourself "used to" doing those, it's ok. But as time moves on and you get used to it, as long as you ALWAYS keep in mind to have a "limit", the tasks remains with the same value.
Example: Oh, I don't wanna do the dishes right now, it's 10pm and I'm tired. I'll do them tomorrow morning. If you are CONSCIOUS about the fact that you are "setting up the future self", then you can do so. It's like a self imposed limit. Ok, fine, no dishes right now. But tomorrow, I have no lives left (in the game). So you HAVE to do it. You ran out of Estus Flasks and rolling away/iFraming will only get you SO far. So you MUST do it. When you do the breakfast dishes, you do the rest as well. This is not about always leaving all the tasks for "tomorrow", but rather giving yourself TODAY some margin. Otherwise at some point you'll end up feeling that you're "under pressure" or "under a routine" as well, and it will feel so fucking boring that you'll end up procrastinating regardless.
This also comes with a second part, very very important. The VALUE that you assign to the tasks are two-fold: First, what you think of the task itself, and second what the task will provide you, whether is short or long term.
Example: Doing the dishes is a low level short term task. Doing them will provide you with clean dishes. But maybe, you have more than 1, and having a couple dirty at a time does not bother you. So doing them today or tomorrow DOES have the same value (as long as you keep that limit I mentioned before to not fall into the procrastination pit again). However, studying (not memorizing, but learning) stuff for your upcoming exam... that is a HIGH level long term task. It's cumbersome, kinda boring, and 99% of us hate it. But trust me when I say do NOT waste away that time. You can't go back, you can only move forward so take advantage that you are there in the first place. Yes, studying sucks ass, but in 15 years all of that work will totally pay off and the amount of peace that will give you in certain aspects cannot be described.
