To your point about watching YouTube with adblockers still helping Google due to viewership numbers. That’s exactly why after I stopped supporting blizzard (at first due to the blutzchung controversy, then everything else that happened) I immediately stopped playing hearthstone, yes, I was playing it free, I never spent any money on it, but I didn’t want to even indirectly help by giving them usage statistics, or by giving paying people even a little bit of a quicker matchmaking.

Honestly, I pretty much only use mine for relatively cheap home speaker groups.

As to his voice quality going down, I know it’s been a while since he did snake, but just watching this video I agree. Honestly, if I didn’t see him, and I just heard his voice at the end, I would assume it was a different actor.

I do that with SOPs, part of my job if to create them for a new system we’re using. I essentially just create bullet points, say hey, can you make the following into an SOP? And paste my bullets. It spits out a pretty clean looking SOP that I just need to go in and edit a bit. It’s really useful.

Microsoft is not in the process of trying to buy Nintendo. Did they discuss it? Yes, obviously, any company would be idiotic to not at least discuss things like opportunities from purchasing competitors, but I read the emails, at no point did they even sound like it was something they were “trying” to do.

As a matter of fact, and this is just conjecture from me, but to me it read it like, somebody not in the gaming space emailed Phil about wouldn’t it be great to buy Nintendo and Phil’s response to me read like someone who got a suggestion from a boss that’s a dumb suggestion, they know it’s a dumb suggestion, but they need to be courteous in their response by entertaining the idea.

I fucking loved when Pokémon go came it, it was so great, but a couple of months after it came out, I was going to the beach, and i was so excited. I figured, going to the beach, I would be swimming in water type Pokémon, then when I got there, I was like, oh, it’s the same zubats at home. Never really played it after.

100% that, plus more competition.

There was a point where I had planned on getting a tesla for my next car, but now I’m avoiding it like the plague.

Encouraged may not be the right word, but they allegedly knew and not only didn’t not care, but tried to hide issues from the board of directors. Plus the CEO literally threatened to kill his assistant.

I’ve played around with Linux before, but never really wanted to use it. I’ve always just been happy with windows. Without a doubt though, if they started a subscription for it. I would switch to Linux.

I don’t know why you’re getting down voted. Overregulation is crazy, I was watching this interview by the CEO of this company that explores the ocean named Stockton Rush, and he has the same argument that the government needed to stop regulating so much. I should look him up, I’m not sure what happened to him…

Some people are just really weird, I used to work for a real estate company that has really big storage buildings for rent, they’re designed for like storing rvs in the off season. Rent was something like 1000 bucks a month. One guy rented 3 of those lockers year round literally just to store Santas. Like life size Santa statutes and shit. Dude paid 3k a month for that.

I’ve not played wow since legion but I would come back for that

That really upset me. Domino’s was my favorite pizza, but then after they changed it. I don’t like it anymore. ☺️

Exactly, this game I believe is being done by Aspyr. While KOTOR was a remake obviously, it was the last time they tried to do a big game and it apparently was a disaster.

Yes, the Ltt Forum has a lot of really bad takes. There are a bunch of people who do seem to be reasonable, but I did see some really brain dead things when I checked it out.

Yeah, a couple of months ago there was an offer to buy LMG from him for a total of 100 mil. I believe it was 60% cash 40% stock in the acquiring company. They turned the offer down.

Billet labs has come out and said that LTT has suggested they could get the cooler back for them, and billet labs declined and said they would just take the reimbursement.

They said their reasoning for that include (they said more, but just a few brief reasons) the fact that they can’t know if it’s still in the condition required, and if not, how much time and money it would take to repair it

they don’t know if it would have all the various pieces still attached, once again, not knowing how much time or money it would cost to replace those

they’ve already begun work on recreating the prototype

they’ve confirmed it didn’t go to a competitor, so less worries about ip issues

Finally and the biggest thing to me that I was unaware of before reading their statement, they sent LTT a 3090ti to along with the block to test it, LTT then proceeded to lose it (which is why they used the wrong card in the video) and just recently found it, which meant LTT had not only their block but a 3090ti for 9 weeks so they didn’t know if LTT could get it back how quickly they would send it to Billet.

I’ve got to say, I’ve noticed a lot of the things Steve mentioned in his video, and I agree with the vast majority of what he said, but I still do watch LTT occasionally because it’s still often entertaining, but man Linus’ response rubbed me the wrong way. Aside from addressing the auctioning the water block thing, he didn’t really address anything and most of it came off as woe is me. It sounded like he thinks the GN video is why people are upset rather than the countless mistakes and corrections they’ve had to do in the past just 6 months. It seems to me like he’s missing the issue most people have.

Yeah, as far as I could tell, there was no indication at all on any of the ltt channels, she has been on a video or two that I’ve seen where they referred to her as Emily, but she was just barely on screen so it would be easier to miss. She released a video on her own channel talking about it though.

Fyi, it’s Emily now.
