  • I’ve watched them a long time and I’ve probably well ascended beyond most of their “tech tips” at some point although occasionally I do still pickup something by proxy of it being put on my radar. But aside that I’ve definitely noticed some videos feeling more and more corporate or overproduced for sure. There are many videos that are clearly “we needed the money to fund x expensive project here’s a sponsor we don’t like that much but have to talk about their product”. I think it’s kind of why there’s been some long time staff leave recently. I’m kind of hoping it’ll be a bit cyclic and some new blood will make it feel jankier again.















  • Dude I keep seeing all of you people bloviating this nonsense. It’s very easy to just tell people “oh yeah just go kill people and risk your life.” And then everyone applauds and upvotes. It’s not about “living in delusion” it’s about how genuinely difficult it is to tell people to just go to war. It’s easy to just armchair this and I keep seeing it all over Lemmy but dude I haven’t even made it a quarter of my life yet, and most of my true cognizant semi adult life has been absolute dogshit. And now suddenly people who don’t live here are telling me to just go die. That’s scary as hell man. I wish people would think before they just type this shit everywhere.



  • If we’re talking fencing maybe? Sure? I wouldn’t know I’ve not trained fencing. You’d know better than I. If we’re talking actual combat where I’ve trained a tiny bit with the sword and staff, I mean there’s just ways around that. Where I hold my sword or staff or whatever has little bearing on my defensive range. You’re just assuming you’re much faster than me because I’m guessing that’s what fencing is more about. But that’s with something extremely light and flexible. If where you held your weapon was all that was too it people would have been much less inclined to use say a giant battle axe. Also an actual fight ends quickly id never risk being inside your weapon range unless I knew I had a good shot. There’s no constraint on me attacking first or having to attack you a specific way.
