Another estimate I saw on reddit was around 8.5km2. If you go by the size of the "map" in real world terms, i.e. the parts of Nevada, California and Utah it is modelled on then it's probably accurate. In terms of the game's actual sandbox, 8.5km2 sounds more accurate.

Lol the LTT subreddit has been lunching itself over the Temu vid that they released the other day having worked out that Temu is probably (see:definitely) using slave labour in their chain to offer their wares at unsustainable prices. Some real galaxy brain takes along the lines of "did you post this from an iPhone  "

Reddit is by far the dumbest place on the internet. Linus might be a lovely person, but there is an absolutely no loving way he did a shady deal with Temu when his company is under the biggest microscope it has ever been under. People seem to think that it was actually sponsored by Teemu and he’s just not saying it’s sponsored, which is the dumbest loving thing. If you have a basic understanding of reality, you would never say half of the poo poo said on Reddit. A wise man once said: never go on reddit.

It’s loving stupid and not worth discussing if it’s possible that it’s going on because it’s loving stupid. There are a lot of lovely things possibly going on at LTT but taking cash under the table and not disclosing sponsorships is not one of them. It’s like the only thing they actually do correctly.

Rawrbomb posted:You put way too much faith into the "just trust me bro, we don't need a warranty" man. That whole fiasco was because Linus clearly didn't get the importance of having a warranty; he said multiple times that he didn't think they mattered, in the face of Luke and others arguing with him. He appears to understand the importance of disclosing your sponsors and has gone out of his way to make the point that he does it, so this would be less of a "I don't care so why would anyone else" mistake and more of a "I know people care so I'm going to hide this" deliberate lie. Now, you might think he'd act from malice too but it's different from saying "we already know he makes dumb mistakes". I think it's reasonable to argue that he knows people would react badly to this and probably wouldn't think the risk is worth it, even working from a purely selfish perspective.

The only excuse that they could offer would be "it was something that was already in the production pipeline before we had the halt". And not an excuse they can use after a month or so.

So yes, rather than be better than "every other company out there" and offer a warranty unconditionally, he just piled on the bullshit. On the spot when he did the whole "trust me bro" poo poo, sent out an email/txt to have a t-shirt made with the "slogan". You could literally see Luke (this was during the WAN show) trying to figure out if he could survive if he walked out on the spot until he got another job. Of course he continued to lick Linus's boots for everything after, but that one did seemingly cause some issues.

Koskun posted:It's worse than that. His whole reason why he wouldn't offer a warranty on the backpack was, and I'm paraphrasing here because I don't care to soil my youtube algorithm with Linus anything by finding the direct quote, "because every company only offers warranties so they can deny them". I mean, I don't really see that as meaningfully different from how I described it. He said he wasn't offering warranties because they aren't worth anything in his view (e: specifically, because forcing compliance on a company which does not wish to honor them is infeasible). I don't agree with him but I think since he seems to believe that and is happy to say it on camera, not offering his customers the thing he just said is worthless is fairly consistent and not really an indicator of dishonesty by itself.

It's also a stance that he only developed once he started making products of his own. Prior to that, he'd rail on companies for not offering warranties. Basically he's a disingenuous hack

The issue with this premise is that you would have to give him the benefit of the doubt which is pretty naive considering his behaviour. Of course he’s going to say that when there is a strong financial incentive to say it.

All's I'm saying is that LMG A)has a history of making bad or questionable business decisions, and B)it's prudent to assume that the company that lied about poo poo is probably lying about other poo poo as well. I wasn't the one coming in here frothing at the mouth about redditors or inventing "child slave labor" scenarios in a histrionic attempt to claim that on this particular subject they're clearly being open and honest.

Linus has terminal small business owner brain, so it’s safe to assume he’s operating under poorly thought out short-term plans at all times, malicious or otherwise.

In all seriousness, Linus’ actual position isn’t really consistent. The only consistent thing is that every justification he comes up with is a huge self-report. I remember him having the audacity to claim he wasn’t offering a warranty because it meant his company would be legally bound to honour it. Which meant his family would be on the hook to honour the warranty of his products if he passes away overnight. Basically, he’s making up poo poo to justify his desire to sell his products ‘as-is’.

The merch side of Linus is by far the shadiest. For a while he has making tee-shirts "contests" where if you got lucky and get a second special shirt in the box or something you win something. Seems an awful lot like "gamboling" to me. Especially when you explain the contest, and then stare into the cameras on wan show and announce a new shirt while not confirming if it is also a contest or not. Oh yes, gamboling without even knowing if you have a chance of winning or not. https://linustechtips.com/topic/1259587-holographic-ltt-keyboard-shirt/ spunkshui fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Sep 7, 2023 |

His thought process from memory was that Yvonne, as the minority shareholder of LMG, would be forced to deal with the financial burden of LMG product warranties during a time where cash flow would be negatively impacted. It was an embarrassing appeal to emotion. If there is one consistent thing about Linus, it is his inability to seperate himself and his family from the business he owns. Terminal small business owner brain and all that. The obvious solution for Yvonne if running LMG became too difficult would be to sell her share of the business but that’s probably unimaginable for Linus. jeffreyw fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Sep 7, 2023 |
