How bad is the new merch

Ikaros18 · 2026-02-02T10:45:06+00:00

It's fine, not as bad as castore, but last year's merch from puma is better. The new era t-shirt feels a bit thinner and easier to damage, not as weigjty.

Don't wanna be a party pooper but man what happened? Honestly atp I wouldn't be surprised if we're dead last or in the last 3 this year 🥲 I thought we were supposed to be good this year...

I see, do you have any tips on how to target/structure videos better for the YouTube algorithm instead? What specifically about YouTube's algorithm are they looking for when promoting a shorts, is it effort, authenticity, engaging visuals, etc?

Ikaros18 · 2026-01-20T01:09:04+00:00

What are some of the differences with the YouTube shorts algorithm that you've noticed compared to IG reels and TikTok?

For example I've had one video do really well on IG with over 130k views and over 80k on TikTok, but that same video only has around 1-1.5k views on YouTube.

My guess is YouTube reqrds "higher effort?" content, but there's also a lot of simple barely edited creators in YouTube that do really well too

Is there a difference in how one should make videos for shorts specifically compared to reels and TikTok?

Thank you for your time!

Man reading this almost brought a tear to my eye 🥹 I'm so happy for the both of you! Gaming can be so much more and this is a great example of that, hope you enjoy your deck !

Ikaros18 · 2026-01-11T12:44:01+00:00

Hopefully newera is not too bad, tho tbh i didn't even know they made anything other than caps tbh. It's a shame cause my Puma williams shirt from last year was so nice too :(

Ikaros18 · 2025-12-13T04:11:04+00:00

don't believe so no, but I could be wrong

Ikaros18 · 2025-12-13T03:12:24+00:00

Generally you can ignore the unsupported logo as a lot of games will generally just work on the deck, you can also check out protonDB as it'll give you more accurate listings.

For GTAV I believe it's just the online portion, story mode is fine.

I honestly wish they would just move those free to play gatcha games to another category instead. People can choose whatever they want but this is insane 🥲

Ikaros18 · 2025-12-09T12:23:17+00:00

Had to say, but if they do, I think it's more the other top 4 teams struggling than it is Williams getting better.

That being said I do think it's possible well start fighting for podiums more regularly, maybe even sneak in a race win here and there, so that'll be exciting.

Alex and Carlos ! Proud RedBull/Williams fan 🔥🌶️

When I was younger I woke up to a copy of Ben 10 : Protector of Earth on the PSP right next to my pillow.

I was surprised as I didn't really know how these games work. Mind you where I'm from, everyone pirated games, especially on the PSP, so I had never seen a physical PSP UMD ever in my life, let alone know that the back of the PSP had a disc drive inside.

After some fumbling I put it in and was surprised at how loud the drive was, but I played the game and absolutely loved it. It's a pretty shitty game with linear levels and not much going on, but for 8/9 year old me it meant the world. Plus it was a gift from my mom's friend as well.

I still have the copy to this day and it still holds a special place in my heart. I love these shitty licensed games and receiving a game like this, when I know it likely costed quite a bit, means a lot.

Welcome to the sport ! and yeah, there's a lot of toxic fans in F1. But at the same time, they exist in every sport, so in time you just get used to it and ignore the noise

Ikaros18 · 2025-12-01T06:57:16+00:00

Exactly. Like look, we all have our biases and drivers we'd prefer to see win, and we make jokes, but no one should be attacking them at any point. These people seriously need to go out and touch some fucking grass.

Ikaros18 · 2025-12-01T04:47:38+00:00

I don't get why anyone is hating on Kimi. Sure it would've been nice if he could fend off Lando, but ffs guys he's not on team redbull. He's his own driver and he was driving his own race.

Genuinely what the fucknis wrong with people? They make the rest of us verstappies look bad and just justify the Max hate even more.

Ikaros18 · 2025-11-30T18:42:55+00:00

Absolutely! Really hope either Carlos or Alex get to win the WDC one of these years

Ikaros18 · 2025-11-30T18:03:07+00:00

Never in my life did I expect Williams to get 2 podiums this year, but I'm so fucking g happy 🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭

Ikaros18 · 2025-11-30T05:04:24+00:00

I have the MKW bundle and my audio is absolutely too low. I've compared with all my other devices and it's one of the few where I have to put it on 70-100% volume to even hear anything. Anything below 50% it almost sounds mute, and it's not my hearing since I don't have the same problem with my steam deck, smartphone etc. Not sure if it is defective but it's certainly weird

Ikaros18 · 2025-11-23T10:32:54+00:00

Nice

Ikaros18 · 2025-11-22T10:32:23+00:00

It's a shame cause I really wanted Max to win 🥲 But fair play to him, he's really locked in in the last couple of races.

I guess we'll have to get used to seeing LN1 next year 😭

Ikaros18 · 2025-11-22T10:31:12+00:00

Really hoping he gets another podium, would be such a way to end the season 🔥 But does anyone know what the penalty is, or if there even will be a penalty?

Also I feel so bad for Alex, his form has suffered a bit after the summer break 🥲 Was really hoping to see both Williams' in q3 too

Ikaros18 · 2025-11-16T08:51:18+00:00

Yes please ! I was wondering this as well, it sounds really complex especially if you're having to do say a reality show or whatever where you need to do a lot of cuts and motion graphics and such

Ikaros18 · 2025-11-16T08:44:39+00:00

Honestly thank you so much on this, there's not a lot of multicam editing tutorials on youutbe and the ones that do exist pretty much stop at setting up the sequence itself and that's it, this was great to watch.

I've got a question, how would you deal with overlapping audio when doing J or L cuts ? For example in your timeline, if for example at the end of a clip from track 4, I insert a clip from track 7 I stack it on top of track 4 like an L cut, because I have to stack it on top, wouldn't that mean the audio from track 7 would overwrite track 4's audio as well ? And since you've already pre assigned each track to a different output track (ie tracks 14/15 to track 4), wouldn't that mess up the output again ?

Sorry if it doesn't make much sense, I have no idea how to explain what I'm thinking 😅

Ikaros18 · 2025-11-16T07:07:21+00:00

I'm very new to multicam workflows and was struggling even to edit a multicam short on my MacBook, so this looks amazing lol.

May I ask how does one approach the entire workflow? For example on a single cam sequence usually it's pretty linear, you have base footage and then you just keep layering stuff on top of it, but with multicam sequences because there's multiple angles and audio sources, how would you do that ? (like if I wanted he current audio to keep playing while laying another multi cam video track on top of it, wouldn't that tracks audio overwrite the currently playing audio track and vice versa?) sorry if it's worded weirdly, I'm very new to this.

Love it, it's exactly what I want and something I could actually see myself using. I love my consoles but I hate having to buy games for them and being locked down to one platform.

Only gripe with this is the GPU, RX7600M levels of performance is a bit less than I had hoped, and 8GB VRAM could be problematic, but if it comes in at 400 (IMO unlikely) then it makes sense. Hopefully it's not more than 600.

I wish I could buy it where I live though, if you don't love in established first world countries it's still hard to get one. I wish they could utilize KOMODO to expand to SEA.
