Also, like, it's not lost on me that many YouTubers are reporting heavy view losses at the same time that AI is on the rise.

2 things: countless slop channels are popping up and taking views, and larger established channels are starting to implement AI, hemoraging views because it's slop

Now's a good time to mention that no part of my videos, script, thumbnail, footage, or otherwise, will ever have any AI used in any part of the process. You'll never have to wonder.

I swore off early access ever since it ruined my experience with Subnautica, and the games are so much more fun for it

Turns out that going through 50 hours of stream footage takes a while, BUT, I'm now just adding in music and edits. Not claiming any expected date at this point lol

Put myself in a fun little position today, skipped the last Expanded episode so that I could work on the final No Energy video, didn't end up finishing the No Energy video, so yesterday I rushed to make the entire Expanded episode

The subscription price complaint is valid, I'm just talking about the ranked complainrs

I think my boomer gaming opinion is I think it's completely fine that the kalos starter megastones are locked behind ranked. Imagine unlocking things through achievement in a video game

I'm also graciously assuming the dlc will be $10

Yeah we wait to see what content the game has at release before judging Mario sports titles now

Okay so does it feel like Nintendo saw the reaction to Mario Kart being $80 and went, "fine, we'll release the game at $70 with a $10 dlc a month after release" to anyone else?

I'm consistently impressed with how often Famous Birthdays updates my sub count despite me being # 80,000

To expand the metaphor, it's like the boss gave the clients away to low effort salesmen that use manipulatory tactics for shprt term gain but no long term customers

Low effort ai assisted channels

So I wanted to make a panning shot with the volcano, thinking there was a fully made sprite I could use. There wasn't, so I spent 3 hours making one.

It'll be on screen for like 4 seconds
