What surprised me the most was the statistic that only 3% of author’s views come from the subscriptions feed. This is wild to me because subscriptions are pretty much the only way I have ever used YouTube.

Considering that my biggest issue with YouTube is the fact that subscribing to a channel means fucking nothing now, it doesn’t surprise me at all.

Being subscribed to a channel used to actually inform you when that channel uploaded something new, every time without fail. Now, that system is a separate thing (the bell) and it doesn’t even fucking work 100% of the time. I subscribe to and have notifications enabled for about 13 channels that upload every single day; I only get notified like once a month about a random video whenever YouTube decides it wants to actually do the thing I have told it to do.

Like, I am subscribed to Technology Connections and have notifications enabled but this post is how I have come to know this video was uploaded.

Where?

Counter-Counter-Point: Valve literally is the developer that made lootboxes ubiquitous in gaming. The good things they do have and have done still do not outweigh the bad, nor should this fact ever be ignored. They make a good product because it gets them customers. They also were one of the first devs I read about to have hired psychologists to scientifically addict you to games. They are only your friend so far as they understand you can get more flies with honey than with vinegar.

I’d love to see someone make a “TF2 Classic” where it’s the game as it was on release, but with all the current QOL and fixes; none of the unlockables and hats and all that bullshit. Just pure fucking fun. Oh, and also give us back all the scripting commands they needlessly took away because some players are too dumb to type shit into the console or download someone else’s config and were claiming that they were unfair.

Man fuck that. I wanted to try these specifically because they said they only used agave syrup as a sweetener. Stevia, suclarose and aspartame always have this weird aftertaste and mouth feel.

If it’s not 60 or higher, I can’t stand it. But it has to be consistent. Even constant fluctuations between 120-140 are felt even if not necessarily seen. I generally just try to get 60 since my display is 60hz. What’s annoying is that I could be doing 1440p at 60 with my specs, but for some reason setting the display to that specific resolution locks it to 30hz.

The display is 4k, and has 60hz available at 4k and every other resolution. My PC can’t handle 4k @ 60 for most things, though.

Realism should never get in the way of fun.

Yes, things fall apart/break over time or with excessive use. But it still takes way longer IRL for that to happen than in a game with these mechanics. Some of them are really bad and the best equipment lasts for maybe 15 minutes. Which is total bullshit. I don’t want to stop the fun part of the game to go back to base and fix my tools every 15 minutes.

Personally, I prefer Libre7up.

Even when you were buying games on physical media, you didn’t own the software itself. You just owned a disc with the software on it.

Is that cloudflare one the one that just verifies you’re human automatically? Like it pops up with a check box you sometimes don’t even have to manually click? How does that one even work? 🤔

Really shouldn’t have to tho. It’s always for a video I clicked accidentally or only watched 15 seconds before I was like “nah.” It should weigh things you’ve fully watched way heavier.

Whenever this happens, I simply go into my watch history and delete whatever the fuck it was that turned my entire FP into just that one topic.

It was a 50/50. Given the other strange DMs I’ve gotten, I really couldn’t tell 100%.

You might be surprised to learn that people can be from one place, but live in another.

Oh so it was a bot.

I’ve had a few random PMs from confused people that were just one offs and thought this was one of them. But that is verbatim the message I got from the account.
