You know, I thought about that, but then we’re not in 2011 anymore, so. ;)

From what I seem to recall, it has to do with the encodings that they use. YouTube’s encoding is specially designed to be optimized for fast seeking, whereas Twitch’s encoding is, um, very much not. That’s why even VODs seem sluggish at best when seeking - because you’re really not even supposed to be doing it in the…
I’d recommend a show contemporary to Bebop, The Big O, if you somehow never saw it. Smart, funny, stylish as all get out, and soaked in a deco noir artstyle you’ll likely recognize from Batman: The Animated Series, with which it shared at least part of the animation department. Also there’s like sweet giant robots and…
Thank you for that detailed response.
I want to like this show. But it is so wrapped up in my teenaged years I can’t separate it from cringey teen concepts of masculinity. We failed, at the time, to see Spike as the stubborn failure he is and only saw his pigheadedness as cool and Super Deep, Man.
Interestingly what you said matches my complaints with Twitch. I use both Twitch and Youtube Gaming regularly, and find that the number of per stream options offered by YT far outweighs those from Twitch, at least in my usage. Maybe I’m just not looking properly, but something like controlling the latency is huge for…
One thing I liked about it (or rather, Youtube streaming in general) was that all of the streaming quality options were available immediately, and to everyone. So you didn’t have to have to wait to be partnered or whatever it was called on Twitch before you could even have very basic transcoding.
I didn’t read this whole thing in fear of spoilers but I’m watching through it all for the first time and through the first 12 or so episodes I think they’ve been “successful” one time?
Reminds me of the time I managed to get my arm up in a vending machine and pull out an Almond Joy from my mom’s aunt’s barber shop.
Getting beaten by a rigged game? Fair.
Beating a rigged game? Stop right there, criminal scum!
Please stop.
It adopts a similar structure by serendipity, rather than by design.
Anyone can create an instance, so the pondlife that occupy T_D and other sub-reddits are free to create their own instances. Other instances are equipped to block such communities though and it’s through active, local moderation that you can avoid…
Instances are not closed bubbles though, unless you actively shut yourself in, your network naturally expands and broadens.
Through your ‘Federated Timeline’ you are exposed to anyone other members of your instance follow so the larger your instance grows, and the more people you follow, the wider your network becomes.
Because there’s a long history of Twitter giving an incredibly long leash to Nazis and white supremacists, not banning people who constantly harass and threaten minorities, and being slow to ban bot accounts. Meanwhile, they’ll quickly crackdown on people who respond to their harassers by calling them “assholes” or…
The format encourages quick witty jabs as opposed to actual dialog. It’s hard to have a meaningful conversation in 280 characters. So many people just resort to shit slinging.
What are you talking about Naruto wasn’t rushed in anyway. Hell it has a sequel manga/anime, multiple spin-off novels, AND an epilogue manga written by Kishimoto himself (Scarlet Spring). If anything Naruto is among the most drawn out mangas of all time.
I addressed that in the article.
This is why piracy reigns supreme.
