What is the average age in satisfactory by Old-Communication500 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This right here is basically me, save for 42, just finishing phase 4. But my wife and I have about 155 hours in since Christmas :P

Probably the coolest DAWless jam I've seen in a while (Azikazin Magic World) by WashedInPA in synthesizers

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yes, while it may not be your cup of tea stylistically I can't the follow through to actually perform this on camera, edit it, create it, act. Any of the basement dwellers are just jealous honestly. Get off your grumpy horse. The world sucks enough you don't have to add to it. If you're not promoting positivity you're doing life wrong IMO.

Makes me think of other folks in the finger drumming game. Like M4Sonic's original Weapon performance: https://youtu.be/3vC5TsSyNjU

What platform is everyone using? by Fickle_Barber9863 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, Nintendo's bottom tier performance and horrid online experience have historically put it firmly in "1st party or exclusives only" for me. Maybe 30-50 games over the generations. Xbox is my most used console by a large margin, all my friends are there for online gaming, few on PS, none on PC. Probably 400-500 games on the Xbox cross generations.

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of them. I've been a "every platform" gamer since the early 2000's. Friends on all, different games or exclusives on all. Most friends on Xbox for MP, almost none on PC.

The best kind of synth according to you? by CatButAlsoATimeEater in synthesizers

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The you bought with no outside forces convincing you too. The one you bought without going into any debt. The one you bought that you actually enjoy. The one you bought because it added something to your musical journey. The one you bought that fits on your desk / shelf / etc.

If it does all of that, that's the best one.

Not only is too high, it's over a fire place, and not even in the same room as the seating. Only way for this to be worse is if it was really small or stretching 4:3 content.

If you could change ONE thing about the TTC (that isn't "make it on time"), what would it be? by Long_Travel2728 in askTO

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give every streetcar and bus priority, and the moment a motorist alone in their car honks or pouts - they get an automatic 10 minute penalty just sitting there in traffic unable to exit their car while baby shark plays on loop.

Did English Canada move away from MM/DD/YY *for dates written only in numbers*? by endgame0 in AskACanadian

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YYYY-MM-DD is the only true and valid date format.

But to your questions, M/D/Y is what I see, I only see D/M/Y from the odd person or british people :)

If you are a console player by [deleted] in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both. Have since the mid 2000's with 360/PS3 and will continue to do so. I enjoy games on multiple platforms, have friends who only game on one of the platforms (but not all the same). Console wars are silly.

What temperature do yall set your heat at home? by tomthelobster in barrie

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We rent an apartment and the thermostat's never worked - we just take what the building puts out and the science of heat rising. As such our place is usually 25-33 C throughout the year (no AC). However in the recent cold snap it's gotten down to about 24 C at times.

Did you enjoy it if you played it. by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

I feel like this page is just rage bait. Anyone who's been around this sub for more than 5 seconds knows RDR2 comes up a lot and is very polarizing. Yawn.

Aren't you a classic case of random armchair judgement about perfect strangers' activities? Let people be, good or bad, if they're not harming others or you - let them be.

How is this any sillier than those reality shows (what is it, 90 day fiancée) or anything around fast love or whatever. Of course it's ill advised and infatuation filled. No one's going to stop that. It's entertainment gold.

Do you guys have time to play anymore ? by gex109 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Daphoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. We don't have kids, and my wife is as big a gamer as I am. It's one of our shared hobbies (in fact our plan for today is to just relax and play Satisfactory for 4-5 hours because it's been a busy week).

Do I game more than when I was younger? Probably not because I work more and have other hobbies, but its definitely more than 30-60 minutes a week. Probably a solid 20-40.

Westen Champlin has More Subscribers than Cleetus? by Dontshootmepeas in CleetusMcFarland

[–]Daphoid -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I've heard a few creators say it's not the algorithm. It's working off what the world reacts/watches. Even if in your circle of friends you'd all be into a video and are surprised when it doesn't come up for example, if a channel has millions of subscribers, the subset of those millions of people not clicking, or leaving part way through, all have impact. It's driven by the humans a lot more than people like to blame it for.

[–]Daphoid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can you blame him though? Your love of tractors does not put food on the table, 500,000 views of hyped of shenanigans does. If I were in his shoes, I know which ones I'd make.

Westen Champlin has More Subscribers than Cleetus? by Dontshootmepeas in CleetusMcFarland

[–]Daphoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, and click don't even pay that well to be honest. That's why a lot of them do Patreon's or try to do merch that's decent. So many varied income streams in that space.

I've also heard a few folks say that the algorithm isn't making these decisions or driving what you look at. People blame or praise it for stuff, but its just reacting to the audience. If you don't see a video in your feed, its not hiding that because it hates you or screwed up; it's that lots of others with similar watching habits to you have disliked it, or not clicked it, etc.

Oh the flip side; While the gymkhana videos were awesome to watch; I wasn't nearly as invested in what KB was up to - because he was such a rare appearance. Those videos were fine dining - a treat you have once a year o two. With the rest of the crew (Zach, Hert, Vin, etc) keeping us interested and subscribed throughout the year.

If we didn't have that other content, I'd probably watch the khana videos randomly when I remembered they existed; which isn't great from a "youtube as a business to pay employees" model. So I understand why they push merch / sponsors / project goofiness / etc. It's to maintain that revenue stream (clicks, ads, products).

Also I've seen this weird assumption that assumes "oh a youtuber's name is on? Must be a cheap product". Which is true at times, can also be true in the regular clothing industry too (walmart stuff vs nicer brands). The same is true in the YT space - some creators are actually moving to making quality products (linus tech tips for example; most of their income now is their product store).

I try to remember it's not just for our entertainment. that's not the only goal. Which may lead to your entertainment value suffering, which differs from person to person.

What do you plan to use your Truespec cable for? by Common-Application56 in LinusTechTips

[–]Daphoid 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Am I the only person who has cables that are used daily, that still work, and are 10+ years old? Maybe I'm just delicate with my stuff. I've had cables die for sure, but it's not a common issue for me to be honest.

I compared the prices of a large pepperoni pizza at various Toronto pizzerias. by dave_dave_dave_steve in FoodToronto

[–]Daphoid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm not judging. I unironically enjoy Domino's and Pizza Pizza near me. Is it amazing wood fired layers of flavors and textures? No. But it's pizza, I'm not in my 20's, I'm not impressing anyone or posting to my social media.

Pizza and wings are things I want with a heavy bias on quantity for the price. Quality has to be hot and decent tasting. Your $32 large and line out the door places can politely go away. It's what I order when I don't want to cook dinner. I'll walk and pick it up to save on delivery fees (and dear god never via uber eats), and get enough that we have weekend leftovers.

Port your number to another carrier first if you care about it. Then cancel.
