Compression is complicated. So it’s way easier [read: cheaper] for these companies to only bother with minimal compression and put the onus on the end user to buy up a ton of cheap storage space and a PC beefy enough to swing these giant files around. Rather than building, adding to, or modifying an engine so it can…

You accidentally pointed out the one thing I don’t get when yall are ranting about this man. The reason I find myself in here calling out some of this kind of baseless hate towards him, despite not even being a huge fan myself (I think he’s a bit much, his fanbase is frankly fucking trash for the most part, and his…

And guess what? He (Herschel Guy Beahm, feel free to look it up it’s public record) faced absolutely no charges.

I assume this article is the usual tongue-in-cheek type not to be taken too seriously. But trypophobia or not, they honestly look absolutely terrible.

Oh hey, I pull those URLs all the time if I’m trying to save a video or picture off Instagram. Never really occurred to me I could share private ones but yeah, why not. They’re just right there on the server.

Right? Like, okay, I’ll gladly live my year(s) as a gutless sheep I guess rather than die trying to get my name in a record book. Think of everything you’ve done and seen, every person you know, all the shit you still want to do. Imagine wiping all that out cutting your life short trying to go fast in a desert.

Same. I have no issue with cosplay. I have mostly no issue with anime.

Meanwhile yall’s sister site is busy misrepresenting tf out of Yang’s stance on climate change with some bullshit hyperbole about him being the “most dangerous” candidate because of it (when literally all he’s doing is echoing the sentiments of the past 10 years of climate scientists and proposing the same plan many…

Purposes:

Agreed. I have no problem with a company cleaning up their image if they choose. Well, to be clear I do have some thoughts about what is considered “cleaned up” and why, I just mean it’s totally the company’s prerogative. The “why” is kind of a different yet very closely related conversation.

Game press playing both sides of this topic is absolutely nothing new.

Huh?

Got to see this hero car in person at an auto show not too long after the movie came out. Ever the rebellious teen, I reached over the rope they had set up so I could touch it.

When you start building your identity around the stuff you enjoy and the communities you engage with, you lose your perspective on those things.

Sure. But that vitriol has a source. And that source is being banned.

Thank you. Seriously.

No, don’t be silly. Shitty games are still hard to make.

This depends entirely on the venue and maybe even the show itself. I’ve been to several shows/festivals in recent years where the online tickets and box office were the exact same pool. The only saving grace there was the way a few of them staggered release of tickets or specifically required ID of the buyer on entry,…

But...there are YouTube competitors. Always have been.

This is definitely some of the most awful shit in a long, storied history of awful shit I’ve seen creeping around in the corners of YouTube. It’s multifaceted awfulness. Child exploitation and animal abuse in the same package.
