Ok Comboomer posted:a while ago, when some unionization activity was in the news (I think it was the Amazon union stuff?), Linus + Luke got a WAN Show question about unions and whether they'd support one at LMG, etc, and their response wasn't completely awful but it was also pretty clear that neither of them were keen on it. Demonstrating he just doesn't understand what the point of a union is.

Also remaining silent lets the whole thing fade into the background. I assume someone is stationed next to linus smacking his hand with a ruler whenever he reaches for a keyboard or phone.

Before being aware he was a gun weird, I gave up on 8 bit guy because EVERY VIDEO had about 40% of it devoted to the retrobriting process. Like, we know dude, you put them in the stuff, you put the tubs on your driveway because you're in texas and there's sunshine, you rinse the stuff off, I don't need to see it in full every time you get a new device in your collection.

Arivia posted:There's a subset of people who watch retro tech channels for something kind of like ASMR - the footage/process of retrobriting or recapping a board is a calming, important part of a video to them. I wouldn't be surprised if 8bitguy was appealing to that crowd. He might be aiming for them but he sure as gently caress doesn't have a soothing voice. LGR, RMC, Techmoan and even guys like Perifractic are way easier to listen to if that's what people are after. Originally he was just one of only a few prominent guys doing this stuff but the space has been comfortably filled by loads of people doing it better and without breaking rare prototypes.

Nitr0 posted:Jre is a weird putz. Not sure why he has such a large following. I skimmed the vid and he basically is going to sue some company because they “stole” some designs and then build wheelchairs? I mean they literally stole the designs. There's in jokes and quotes and stuff on the JRE/dbrand skins and those jokes and quotes are replicated exactly on the Casetify skins. They've been caught out by the skin equivalent of trap streets on maps, it's really dumb because those things are basically the ONLY thing that makes JRE/dbrand's skins identifiable as theirs.

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:I ended up zoning out on hbomber’s Somerton stuff mostly because it was part 3 (I think) of similar content in a long rear end video and I ended up just skipping through. Thankfully Todd is going in a different direction so I can pay better attention I assume it's so extensive with so many examples so Somerton can't just apologise for like two things or claim they've been misrepresented and move on. I agree it's a lot of the same thing over and over but I guess if your goal is to make them stop doing this you have to provide enough proof that it's structural failings rather than individual errors.

Yeah, I seriously doubt Sony would be doing this if Warner/Discovery weren't making them. Pretty much every digital storefront has the ability these days to stop selling you something while still letting you download it if you paid for it already. Mostly because most companies recognise that while it might be completely legal to do what Warner's doing here it is likely to make people stop buying your digital stuff.

I bought a prebuilt in about 2007 because my existing machine broke and I was just about to have a kid (I think it actually broke on my son's due date) so I just needed the problem sorting. It was a terrible mistake because for what I paid I could have had something significantly better but I managed to make it last a good few years.

It has a whole lore being developed over the course of the series with extremely dense jokes and callbacks. I was so happy when he put out a new one recently after being away for a while due to back issues. I love Pat, and it was nice to finally get closure on that simple plan. Plus I keep learning stuff about music theory (Beato) (I don't know about Beato).

Pigma_Micron posted:Honestly, I love the guy, but there's no reason his videos need to be as long as they are. I think he just throws all his research in all it doesn't feel like a waste of time. He does actually cut stuff, like the plagarism had another 20 minutes on illuminaughtii that he stuck on a second channel and the Human Revolution video had like 15 minutes of stuff about the history of mirrors in games that he pulled out and made into a seperate patreon video. In the case of the plagarism video, it felt to me like it needed to be that long, he needed to set up "here's how people respond when called on plagarism" so that when Somerton tried it it didn't work, as well as provide EXHAUSTIVE evidence of Somerton's plagarism so he couldn't handwave it away as a couple of isolated examples. It's three and a half hours leading up to the only time saying to someone "Delete your channel" has actually worked.

Yeah, everything I've seen of A:R does not make me want to actually play it. It's straight up unfair and is mostly noteworthy for introducing the FPS controls we now deem standard for consoles rather than because anyone wants to play it.
