just my impression, seems other video sites are becoming more popular. Maybe that doesn't translate into youtube dying, but I think that there is a reason more are moving to those other sites that could lead to its death.

not more popular than youtube, just more popular as ppl leave youtbue.

@Dusty Morgan don’t kitsune turn into demon creatures and kill people after luring them in

sounds like fake news.

<:TimThink:482277772497125378> Why does my wifi hate me? I can send stuff to my laptop at a reasonable portion of the theoretical max, but trying to get files *from* it turns it into the slowest thing I've witnessed in my life...

idk, don;t use it, prefer wires.

Me too, but the laptop for what I would consider obvious reasons doesn't generally have a cable assigned to it. 😛

All my other devices are happily hogging them.

i don't use computers that weigh less than 50 lbs.

It's a thinkpad though. Papa... don't be rude. 😦

Super weird at any rate. "I'll just send 3 gigs of images to the laptop" -> done in short order.

I use pads to sit on, not think.

"Alright, might as well retreive my uni notes and some PDFs" -> zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I had at least a few page case study on the Cuban missile crisis due Monday and I forgot it

What, Monday this week?

Bitchute doesn't embed yet.

That's holding it back.

That's not the greatest.

Well all this week I’ve been talking to you guys so it’s fine

I’ll turn it in next Monday it’s homecoming anyway

i am not a guys, I am a planet.

Have y’all ever played a video game that was very good at making you absolutely despise the enemy and take joy in their wholesale slaughter

Battletoads.

Nah I think I just like the challenge

The only time I’ve ever despised my enemy was on roblox apocalypse rising

Fucking hackers

most games i don't like, because usually the bad guys win.

Agario.

@Paradox nah youtube is fine

Agario ESPECIALLY when they team up.

Paperio

Only faggots team in Agario.

Quake 2.

agar.io

Go play it.

I don’t understand

I just really fucking hate the Strogg with a passion.

I think it was just that intro.

Oh actually maybe warhammer

and compare youtube to the other tech companies they are pretty lenient, still baised as hell. more troubling in regards to demonitization of certain individuals BUT they don't outright band people who express different viewpoints left right and center

But it’s more like the you get into the character

Like

FUCKING HERETIC! DIE XENOS!

The intro was something I didn’t expect of an FPS at the time

I was tiny as fuck

uh

other tech companies? You mean the other big ones that are dying, or the smaller ones that are growing?

And when I looked back and caught wind of all the chatter I realized the Strogg were some of the scummiest aliens I’d heard of

And definitely evil

They bombarded most of the earth’s cities

They bombarded Europe to the point of being uninhabitable and unrecognizable

talking about the migrants?

No

I’m talking about the Strogg

But hey close enough

oh I thought that was some derogatory term for them

They’re both led by a guy named Macron

I mean Makron

Yes the strogg’s leader is the Makron

i thought it was that fat dude that looks like a lesiban, merkle or something?

I was surprised at how proto CoD Q2 was when I played it

With the objectives and cutscenes

Ikr

The intro cutscene got me hating the Strogg

The drop scene was ahead of its time

It literally scared the shit out of me

Also Homeworld is king of the One Cutscene Investment

Holy shit

And the chaos of the assault going FUBAR and ending up as the only marine alive made me hate the Strogg even more

Sure, eye for an eye makes the world blind

But which world?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFz6Brxu9gk

I thought that was kind of the point, cuz once everyone is blind...they ain't fucking with eachother

Speaking of the whole world going blind, anyone read Blindness?

No

Shit's good

I ain’t

Basically there's a plague that sweeps through an area rendering everyone blind

I hate these guys

They start quarantining everyone in an asylum and the idea is that they're meant to get properly fed and supported by the state, but basically things start to slowly break down

socialism?

No, just quarantined

difference?

"You are sick, so you can't leave this area, in return you get food" vs "we will redistribute all resources"

idk, think you are just splitting hairs

sounds like socialism to me.

Also Quake Wars is neato but W:ET is bae

"state will take care of you, stay here, be good, god is governemnt government is god.

"If you share something or care for another person that's socialism reeee"

Also government support in the novel breaks down pretty quickly

right, just like socialism does

So does the social structure inside the asylum

It's a very dark look at how humans treat each other, and how they'll exploit the system

You can look at it as an allegory, sure

dark? realistic?

Realism of it is debatable

Quake Wars needs rebooting

Some things are very convenient
