Yeah this title is out there.

I'll be honest I didn't even know you could log in to YouTube with it. I assumed most people would be using it to actively not participate. By using it you're already taking ad revenue away and skipping sponsored segments.

+1 for FreeTube. It's so customizable. Besides the ad blocking and sponsor blocking by default, there are SO MANY features and interface improvements. Never going back.

I'm not saying that about all video games, I was trying to say that people who don't like learning tend to gravitate towards whatever video games are popular at the time and don't necessarily form complex opinions about different types of games or their tastes. Anything below surface level enjoyment that would require learning would be too much. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with just loading up whatever new call of duty or fifa or something and just relaxing.

I guess I didn't elaborate enough on that, I just said "popular video game" which didn't get my meaning across. In short, I was saying those people also don't put a lot of thought or effort into what entertainment they consume because whatever is easiest and most popular is good enough, because they don't care to dive into learning about anything else.

I'm also not saying these games don't have complicated and high skill ceilings. Most do.

This is the first I'm seeing of this. I love the idea of multiple actions per key press based on how far you press.

Sell it on ebay for cheap and I'm sure some poor sap who lost or broke theirs will be very thankful for a cheap replacement.

I completely agree. And I've thought about this before. I can't know what is going on in people's heads but a lot of people just... don't care. They have fun watching TV and playing popular video games. I think a large portion of people just don't like learning things. Like it just annoys them. That's what I've been led to believe. Which also makes it hard to get people into something I'm into. They'll see I'm massively excited about something and the thing I'm into looks cool, so they'll ask about it. Then whatever it is, be it some tech thing, a niche game, enthusiast grade flashlights, literally anything, turns out to require learning something, they just get turned off of it immediately. If someone wants to get into something I'm doing, I've started prefacing it with "this is not straight forward, are you okay with a bit of learning?" to avoid the disappointment and wasting their time. Usually the answer is no.

Yeah I'm mostly talking about the creators themselves. Like mod and modpack developers. I'm in a unique position to be privy to a lot of the creator drama without being a creator myself and it can get pretty toxic.

I don't think there's anything that nobody would understand when explained. But most people would not understand the drama that happens between creators in the minecraft modding community.

Because it's cool and fun

To add to that, a lot of it was emulating and poking fun at stock market trading, in this case the meme formats being a stock, and creating memes being "investing". For example, you could have a stereotype of some crazed investor yelling "BUY BUY BUY" as a meme format was becoming popular. It was silly fun and let people discuss meme trends in a novel way.

I miss /r/MemeEconomy. Stupid but funny premise when it showed up every once in a while on /r/all

That was very informative, thank you.

Also I think maybe just the way elves are. She says they lack romantic feelings, so that may also reach out to other social interactions. Humans to them might be unpredictable tides that carry them along, even if by way of potato-sacking lol.

Do you know what sousou translates to? MAL lists an alternate title translation as "Frieren at the funeral" but I couldn't determine if sousou actually means funeral or not. (Using google translate, I know no japanese.)

I think part of why I like this cliffhanger more than your average cliffhanger is we know what's going to happen. It's not like some bog-standard "oh no, it looks like our hero is about to die, how will they possibly get out of this? Find out next time!" that builds suspense but is also incredibly annoying. We know that there's either going to be an ass whooping or someone will come in and stop it. So the suspense is a positive one.

I'm sick and tired of this actually.

That's a deep cut lol

Bro.

You see, what they are trying to say is that the 1's and 0's are nice and crispety crunchety but unreal engine is soft and mushy.
