my youtube algorithm right now has been suggesting deep dives into american presidencies ranging from post ww2 to the early 90s and i am eating that shit up i am loving them it is so fucking interesting holy shit

us based company: makes a decision that could be perhaps maybe slightly problematic or inconvenient for consumers

european union:

Namco: ok it's just a bonus freebie game in a collection of old classics we just need a simple OST for it

Me in October 2022: huh this Twitter website sure sucks but it can't get much worse than this, it is still somewhat usable

Elоn:

but hey that is the reason this telegram channel exists at all so i guess we got something positive from that

hat

apparently the designer of this hat has allegedly done some terrible shit and I had no clue because I found it on aliexpress for a few bucks

don’t want to support him at all so I am just going to leave this here now that I know

good news here is that I accidentally got a counterfeit version of his hat so he didn’t make a penny from it lol

sony vegas: running smoothly as ever for once

a 40kb gif file being dragged on the timeline:

cute tattoo ideas 😍😍😍😍😍

last video by Johnny Harris (the one about $25,000 vs. $25,000,000) really put into perspective how despite the average american making way more than the average person in my southern european country managing that money and surviving in North America is wayyyy more difficult

here is the link this is not sponsored or anything i just found the video very insightful

for some reason i find the wow and flutter in the background music of 1950s american documentaries super funny

they sound like youtube poops with vibrato on

yt comments saying stuff like "The video actually starts at:" under long video essays are so funny like bro shut the fuck up the video starts at 0:00 i get your attention span isn't that great but your skipping part of the experience is not the universal way to watch something

"oh but there is a long cinematic intro/transition/whatever the fuck" yeah you can skip it but that doesn't mean that isn't part of the video you are capping

and my attention span sucks too this is not a jab at low attention spans in general ofc

people were asking me what i base my decision for my videos' aspect ratio on and there is no definitive answer, it's a mix of vibes and what i am talking about

if the vid is about something from the early 2000s and most of the footage i can find about its creation/story is in 4:3 i think that's the right call

same goes for 16:9 and 2010s

aspect ratio is just a tool after all

if you want to see me try and fail to play Halo 2 for the first time on my (literally) dying xbox, here is a nice video for y'all!

big thanks to alex and digital foundry for having me on

btw in the DF video I mistakenly called the new forza games “pay 2 win” and i would like to apologise since that is not the correct term for what i meant really (i am not used to recording off the cuff while playing so i mixed my words up): what i meant really is that i don’t enjoy the entire system of game as a service/vip passes/rng wheelspins

i think it’s detrimental to the experience as a whole

i just really hate the entire games as a service thing

i want to buy something and play that something without micro transactions or skewed rng being in the way

but tbf i rewatched the video now and in the context of what i was talking about it was pretty clear what i meant lol
