i really like how this is just about the games. no corporations, no awkward presenters on a stage, just a bunch of cool games i would not have known about otherwise.

thanks for posting this - got a few new games on my wishlist :)

hell yeah garlic

true garlic heads know that the secret is to use both cooked and raw garlic to maximize your garlic per garlic

yeah if i was preparing to take billy mitchell to court thats all i would talk about or make videos about lol

plus it seems like a lot of his time and energy is going into that and the topic is similar enough to his other videos that he might as well document it.

sure but i don’t like watching videos of other people being angry, i’d rather he just delivered the information. and again, maybe i’m imagining the “shift” but after some point relatively recently his stuff felt different to me.

not just bikes has a lot of great information in his older videos, but his newer videos all seem to be dyed in this deep anger/frustration he feels for cars and car infrastructure.

i can’t really pin it down to a single thing or video and maybe it has always been there and i only recently noticed, but lately my main takeaway from his videos is “wow this guy is angry about cars” and less so the points he made.

trans command?? dos is secretly based???

but this is a game that basically lives and dies by its mods, and this is an update that (arguably) changed nothing anyone who is still playing the game cares about after years of stability. why fix what isn’t broken?

fun is an overstatement but it can be enjoyable with a friend. definitely not as bad as some people make it out to be though

although you’re right, i’m not sure this battle is worth fighting anymore tbh. i used to care about which word to use, but it kinda seems like splitting hairs now.

i don’t think the distinction between the two matters to most people anymore, especially since most modern titles fall into the -lite category rather than -like.

pannen is doing gods work

i love that man and his videos like nothing else

can you give an example?

i’m genuinely curious because outside of spiritualism type nonsense the information i’ve found in online and in-person american vegan communities has been pretty solid, and i’d like to know if i’ve been lied to.

i don’t think many people would consider posts that are literally paid advertisements part of “our space”

and most are pathetic for it

i agree with op’s take but only in the sense that games made with the intent to be esports end up being antithetical to what makes games enjoyable, at least for me. it kinda feels new pvp games are exclusively targeting competitive gamers and the casual online pvp space is shrinking or being driven to older games.

but that might just be my own aversion to being told to take my own life by an angry teenager when I make a mistake while playing with a digital toy to enjoy my time off work.

but it is needless. we as humans have no place being the caregivers of carnivorous animals, we do not NEED to do this. ideally we can transition to a world where cats and other carnivorous pets can live without human intervention, but there is a population issue there.

obviously it will take time to phase out but claiming it is necessary is just false and not a step in the right direction. i’m not telling you what to feed your cat, what to eat, etc. i can’t make you care but i can’t let pure cope like “slaughterhouses may abuse their animals” go uncorrected.

in what world does killing not equal abuse? needlessly taking a living being’s life is one of the greatest abuses one could enact.

judging by your snarky reply, i’m guessing you understand how slaughterhouses work.

in your original comment i replied to, you go to great lengths to illustrate how removed you are from the whole process and how uncertain you are that the slaughterhouses are even abusing their animals. if you know what happens in slaughter houses, how could you even entertain the possibility of one existing that doesn’t abuse their animals? they are purpose-built to do exactly that.

[…] slaughterhouse that may abuse their animals

some vegans are such clueless pricks

what do you think happens in a slaughterhouse lmao?

i think the problem a lot of people (myself included) have specifically with nudity on twitch is with the streamers whose streams are basically just porn. now there’s nothing inherently wrong with porn, nudity, or sex work on the internet or in real life, but the issue comes in when you put people who are essentially sex workers on the same video game streaming site many young people visit for non-sexual content. now porn is available and popular on their favorite game streaming site, and it is being forcibly recommended to users who have never browsed that category of content on twitch before.

pretty much all i watch on twitch is super mario 64 speedruns, but 9/10 times when i log in my first recommended channel is a streamer with their tits out doing jumping jacks in a hot tub or something. i can only imagine this is happening to a large percentage of other users as well, including younger users who could be easily manipulated by an attractive and interactive woman online heavily incentivizing them to donate money.

it basically boils down to: i don’t care that porn is on the site, but it should not be recommended to people who are not already browsing that content as that is not what i’m there to see.

edit - re-reading the changes, i’m hoping that the stream visibility and content label changes would fix this issue.
