Somewhat related, but has anyone had issues with YouTube's Notification Bell being removed from YouTube Desktop? I can't see it anymore, and none of my blocklists seems to be there.

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



curious if anyone knows about this: i started watching a rimmy downunder video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-QPuhtgrAo) and at like 6m30s in he mentions SMASHING THE LIKE BUTTON - and I was watching in a window where the like buttons then highlighted in multicolours. Is that a thing you can do or is it a thing youtube is automatically doing by scrubbing the audio?
It's always interesting to run across these kinds of features that nobody seems to use - like, I don't think I've seen anybody use subtitle formatting other than jokenjoestar (eg, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr4gkRdHUUI has English subtitles that change to match scenes, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iuLXODzL04 has English UK and Arabic ones that mimic the style of the built-in Japanese subtitles while also displaying the romaji)

It's automatic. I assume they use the same system used for auto generating subtitles, then just looking for common phrases.

The Eyetoy was genuinely one of the most popular demo machines we ever had when I worked at Game, I think largely because short bursts while you were doing something else was the best way to actually experience it.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about this in terms other than “lol” in the audiophile spaces I hang out in. Everyone knows what that cheap tape mech looks like by now and Fiio have been a brand scrambling for relevance since other companies started to catch up to them with better, cheaper products for a few years now.

Just to be clear on this, I did the entire Famicom library but because that put me at early November I decided to do a few small systems so that I could get to three straight years of daily videos. That's where the CassetteVision and Super CassetteVision come in. And that was followed up by this year's project, the Famicom Disk System. I very occasionally dip my toes into weird stuff that I find interesting or that overlap with something I'm doing, but my schedule is tight enough that I really don't have enough time to document multiple platforms at the same time.

or creating an escape room and watching as the dumbest humans alive enter as a group

disclaimer: i am not an escape room creator

I did an escape room once and a buddy of mine who really wasn't into it just went around trying all the doors and poking stuff. Completely ignored anything that was a clue or puzzle. Turned out some of the doors didn't latch or lock properly after the previous group so he ended up just walking through the multi room experience in less than a minute. We were still in the first room when the Game Master announced "No, that doesn't count, go back to your friends".

It's pretty bad. Also very stupidly did a video about the Palestinian kids' show Tomorrow's Pioneers when he's way too dumb to tackle a subject like that. I think he delisted it at some point so I guess he realized that too.

Oh that was him? Yeah I remember watching a video about that a year ago when I fell into the creepy real life video rabbithole.
I keep confusing him with BlameItOnJorge who has even covered the same events from time to time.

He's also done a handful of True Crime videos that brush uncomfortably close to Q-Anon bullshit. Not close enough to firmly ascribe him to that ideology, but close enough to make me warry.

I don’t like it. Andor makes it better but I still think it’s kind of a bland mess with some great moments.

Watching episode 1 in the theater was very interesting. I haven’t given it that much attention since I was a little kid and yeah it’s not a good movie. It looks nice for the most part but it’s visually just flat a lot of the time with Lucas’ bland shooting style.

It’s not the worst Star Wars.
