Hear me out: What if they took the DMs and made NFTs out of them?

I can finally share my side of the story now that Twitch employees have come forward. You see, all I did was indulge in a little bit of grooming. One might even say it was a minor case of grooming.

Anyways, I’m not a pedo.

Doc out!

Their outside communication is nonexistent at best

Eh, they’re decently active on Reddit, I guess. They send the occasional newsletter regarding new features if you don’t unsubscribe (and they’re pretty good at not spamming with those, imo).

development speed is unbearably slow

I see people say this all the time, and while feature updates are kind of slow, I’m also not lacking anything, personally. I would appreciate it if they smoothed-out SimpleLogin’s extension, though. That thing is weirdly clunky to use.

Agree on the Linux bit, though. I’m surprised they haven’t put more work into that.

Overall, I’ve been a happy customer for a few years, personally.

Yeah, if you listen to any content creator talk about sponsorship revenues it basically eclipses all other form of revenue for them.

I think it was Pokimane who got tired of people donating money and then being assholes if she wasn’t basically gushing over them for hours, so she just went “You know what, I don’t actually need your Twitch dontations.” and just turned them off.

Content creators make thousands of dollars per sponsorship deal minimum if they have a decent amount of viewers. Bigger creators like Ludwig get millions for some deals (Redbull gives him a crapload of money for product placement, for example).

Disabling my watch history did the trick lol

YouTube’s recommendations are such absolute trash if you turn that off (I’m assuming intentionally, to get you to enable it).

Oh yeah, for sure. I like it too.

I always find it funny when people react to Myazaki saying the game is supposed to be around 30 hours by going “UUUUHHHH??? My playthrough was like a billion hours???”

Like, yeah, if you do everything it’ll take a while, but it’s clearly not made with that in mind. It’s really easy to just not do the whole thing and still have a decent length playthrough.

Same. I think the human act is just dealing with a Banshee and some harpies while the humans are just complete assholes towards you.

Meanwhile, the non-human act has you going on this cool magical adventure with your friends and a dragon lmao.

Witcher 2 has two mutually exclusive middle acts. That’s cool.

Well, one of them is.

The “Humans” middle act is so fucking boring!

My first playthrough (100%) was 120~ hours. Subsequent playthroughs (not 100%) were 30~ hours.

Once you realize that 95% of side dungeons are literally just the same filler content with useless summons and weapons, and that you really only need to do, like, 6 to get useful loot for your build, the game gets a lot shorter lol

Honestly, summoning is the accessibility to get through hard areas in FromSoft games (not saying it’s good accessibility, mind you). Summons that won’t die in one hit basically trivialize most single-enemy boss fight since their AI spazzes out because it’s not meant to fight 2 opponents at once.

Yeah, Timmy’s had a hate-boner for anything related to Valve and Linux for years. He’s been lying through his teeth non-stop whenever either topic comes up.

A lot of the decaying skills are things like understanding your computer’s file system (i.e. how folders and files work, where they are, etc.) This kind of skill is definitely still needed if you work in an office environment. It may not be necessary if all you’re doing is being spoon-fed Instagram posts on your phone, but understanding where you saved your files is pretty damn important for most office workers’ day to day jobs (especially with how dogshit Windows’ search functionality is).

They’ve been slowly going in that direction with the writing since DA2, unfortunately. Inquisition definitely had more of it than the other 2, but this is almost fanfiction-levels, honestly.

DAO is my favorite game of all time. Seeing the series get progressively worse (I hated the switch to High Fantasy, and this looks even worse) is really disheartening.

I just don’t understand, why even make a fucking Dragon Age game if you’re going to completely change the tone? (It’s a rhetorical question, the answer is obviously that they’re trying to cash-in on the brand recognition).

Man, the contrast between this Guardians of the Galaxy-ass trailer and both the Warden’s Calling and Sacred Ashes trailers is night and fucking day.

God I miss when Dragon Age was a good dark fantasy game.

Imagine making a Borderlands trailer and not using Cage the Elephant. Like, come on guy. It’s right there!

As someone who doesn’t really like the writing in Borderlands all that much, this trailer looks worse than that. Like, were Brick and Mordecai replaced with Krieg and Tina because they wanted to get “the fan favorites” in the crew?

We had a case in Canada where Air Canada was forced to give a customer a refund after its AI told him he was eligible for one, because the judge stated that Air Canada was responsible for what their AI said.

So, maybe?

I’ve seen some legal experts talk about how Google basically got away from misinformation lawsuits because they weren’t creating misinformation, they were giving you search results that contained misinformation, but that wasn’t their fault and they were making an effort to combat those kinds of search results. They were talking about how the outcome of those lawsuits might be different if Google’s AI is the one creating the misinformation, since that’s on them.

Editorialized is my guess. Seeing the same thing.

Here’s a better one: If the Amazon execs threw a private party, no one would be blaming the caterers.

Not to be the guy that deepthroats Mozilla or anything, but these benchmarks show it being at worst 1 second slower.

Like, Firefox really isn’t noticeably slower than other browsers in the vast majority of situations.
