So this is kinda wild to me but a 6 loving hour Eve online documentary dropped last night and when I looked it had 450k views 14 hours in.

https://youtu.be/BCSeISYcoyI?si=S_LNo9-gmhsAlGRm

How are views actually counted on YouTube? That’s something I’ve never actually seen anywhere.

The first 45 min of the video are a pretty good look into how the game came about at least.

It's his first video in 2 years so there's some pent up demand for his content

It was for his janky home setup where he shoved his and his wife's personal PCs, plus a bunch of gaming PCs for his kids, into 1U chassis in his utility room which are connected to monitor/keyboard/etc. via optical thunderbolt cables because he hates fan noise. He has this crazy setup where he's using his in-ground pool to cool them by embedding essentially an in-floor heating loop into the concrete of the pool. He's put out a bunch of videos about this recently due to the leak and all the stuff he's had to do to try to make sure it won't happen again (such as adding a heat exchanger to separate the water flowing through the in-ground loop from the water flowing through the actual watercool components, adding a water filter to the in-ground loop to catch all the random rocks and dirt the construction workers managed to seal inside the in-ground lines when they were installing them, and adding a couple of car radiators to the loop to cool the room itself since the non-watercooled components plus the in-floor heating boiler for his actual house were dumping muiltiple kW of heat into the room pretty much constantly).

Well that's not as bad, if it's just for his own dumb home crap. I thought based on the comment of no videos since that it was something in their work systems. Although if his home fuckups are causing delays in putting out content that's not great either!

Still what a goofy setup with the pool etc. It seems like isolating the different areas with some kind of heat exchangers would be a better way than running the water lines all over the place but then I only thought about this for 10 seconds and have no plans in implementing a system like that in my home lmao

I listened to it off/on last night while I moved ~200 plants to deal with an incoming frost that I had procrastinated about

it’s good. It’s weird to get such a limited perspective on goons and SA coming from a ~23 year old who only rly knows about them as “the guys everybody else really hated in EVE”.

Like I don’t think they actually understand why or how goonfleet/etc worked or why goons as a community worked/work.

And now it’s so normalized for young people to spend $10-30/month, let alone one single time, on assorted online services or entertainment and video game bullshit and porn and whatnot that the idea that SA was basically the online equivalent of a social club that (relatively) ruthlessly policed culture and gated membership behind :$10bux: was this like ace in the hole that no other similar community could replicate at the time despite their best efforts, to the point where goons could basically invade a game and functionally take it over and ruin it for literally everybody else for years probably seems absurd.

I hope it brings some new blood to the site, hopefully moreso than that recent Whang! sponsorship did

I’ve never gotten that sense from him, but I could be wrong. I’m sure a lot of people doing his sort of work end up being drawn here in some capacity or another. And a lot of older YouTubers confirmably are or have been goons (ThoughtSlime, Folding Ideas, one half of Internet Today, etc)

If it’s new to me/too interesting then it can become a problem for falling asleep. Sometimes if I want to really prioritize falling asleep I like using classics that I know fairly well

The last few months I was alternating between using the hbomberguy Deus Ex video, the classic MGS4 Steak Bentley video, various Folding Ideas and Action Button ones

Also: All-time snoozy season greats, Fall of Civilizations Podcast and John Michael Godier

For years and years I've been telling people like a freak how my perfect balance for sleep videos is something not too interesting BUT not too boring, it has to be right in the middle.

Not too boring that I don't pay attention and my thoughts wander ... but also I'm so into it that I stay up. I want to be engaged, but at the same time also not care that I'm missing it when I drift off. has to be right in the middle...perfectly balanced...

Well, I don't know about specific examples, but former co-workers have come forward calling her abusive and manipulative, and then there was the whole "accusing LegalEagle of plagiarism and not issuing a public apology (dunno when she took down the original accusation) until a week after she privately apologized to them" stuff. Plus various allegations of her being a racist, protecting pedophiles, possibly having CP, but those are all second- and third-hand statements, I can just find people saying she was accused of those, but not the actual accusations with a quick search.
