  • Magic: the gathering.

    There's several different styles of play known as "formats".

    The Cheapest being "Standard". Which is the latest 3-5 sets released. The deck of 75 card deck can cost upwards of £500.

    Then the most popular format, modern, which is the last 20ish years of release. The average deck there can be upwards of £1,500.

    Then there's legacy and vintage where decks are in the high 4 figures and some even in the 5 figures.

  • Final Fantasy ix and X.

    Their vibes just fit both the games respected themes and narratives.

    Besaid Island from x is one of my all time favourites. Roses of red from ix a close second.

    Bastion and Transistor also come to mind from Super Giant Games.

  • The internet has been dying and changing for the worst for a long time.

    Websites trying to be a one stop all on one site that keeps you there are 90% of web traffic these days.

    Having multiple bookmarks for multiple sites for individual reasons are the small user basis.

    Sites like Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, tik tok and YouTube etc are the majority of web useage. Gone are the days of forums for bespoke interests.

    Discord as a closed ecosystem with none threaded or web searchable topics.

    Ad ladden shit hole news sites. Click bait shite etc are the norm.

    Gone are the days of enjoyabls fun to explore web surfing.

  • Asshole design being incorrect again and even misplaced. Classic.

    Humble is still the best place to buy games to support Devs and charities.

    5% to charity is still higher than 0% like all other market places. They still have to make profit and support the staff that work there... They themselves aren't a charity.... Come guys.....

    Also, they have the lowest cut take compared to all other market places. Steam, epic, Microsoft, they beat them all.... AND you can get steam keys from them.

    If you ever have to buy a game on steam. Buy it from humble to better support the dev. Stop crying that everything isn't perfect, is still better than the rest. What's more annoying then shitty captilism is misplaced anger and uneducated consumers.

  • DYO is a great free couch coop puzzle game on steam.

    If you can play in seperate rooms, the We Were Here series is outstanding. As well as Escape Academy, which is much more child friendly.

    Side scroller wise on the same machine. Ibb and Obb or Unravel 1 and 2 are fantastic couch coop games.

    Yes, I love coop games. Just wish there were more. Feel I've.played them all already.

  • Oh, thought this was an article with facts and figures, no someone's doomsaying and fear mongering....

    Many YouTube's third party clients don't use an API and having a public API with built in ads is a gold mine that many of YouTube's embeds rely on for revenue. Doubt they'll destroy that anytime soon.

    Along with that, many of YouTube's top creators are already looking for alternatives, floatplane, nebula etc... It just takes a mass exodus to kick start them. And you bet Google is aware of that.

  • Everything listed there is vertical integration meaning amazon can provide lower than market rate prices. Twitch needs to pay a webservice and hosting provider. Who do they pay? Oh.. Amazon, so now their cost of running is lower than any competitor. So much so no one can compete with them. Since subs and ad revenue is so competitive. Twitch can offer(can not do of course) better rates for streamers and also higher quality streams than over competitions.

    The same is true for prime video.

    Amazon.coms retail isn't the biggest issue here, it's the web service that is dominating and fronting pretty much all the costs for amazon.com to even exist.

  • Might be an unpopular opinion, but I despised Reddit videos...

    It encouraged outrageous amounts of content theft.

    Sure YouTube sucks. But stealing the content from it isn't fair on the people who worked incredibly hard to make said content. One of the beast thing about Reddit og days was discovering amazing content creators from people sharing their videos directly from the source. And no, a sticky comment or comment from the "op", sorry content theif, isn't good enough. Just sharing the god damn origin of the original source. This also goes for music, news, images, etc. But also, if you don't like being tracked, use non-tracking links or piped for YouTube etc....

    Tldr, don't steal content, don't encourage stealing content. Support the content creators....... Stop being lazy with posts and doom scrolling.
