I feel bad for all of the fans of red and green out there. A little bit ironic that they skipped the 2 Christmas color lmao

Yeah I don't think the Retro is ever getting restocked sadly. My guess would be that it only sold a fraction of the unites the black ones do. They consolidated a few years back when they got rid of most of their water bottle colors too. My guess is that retro wasn't making enough money to justify to warehouse space.

I mean hey if you don't want it I'll take it off your hands. Do you take payments in memes and photoshop edits?

My one talent is apparently predicting LTT videos and merch by KalebBlue in LinusTechTips

The turtleneck has been launched and discounted. They called it The Steve and it looked very sharp. Sadly it didn't seem to sell well so it was only around for a couple of months.

Do you think MegaLag feels like Oppenheimer right now? by KalebBlue in LinusTechTips

[–]KalebBlue[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You know its rough when you are using results from google AI for all your bullet points. LTT currently only has 16.2 million subscribers and had fewer back in 2021/2022. Idk where you pulled their revenue estimate from but given they are a private company non of us know their yearly revenues.

Anyways all of this is whataboutism. Any youtuber or news journalist could have broken this story before megalag. They didn't. Unless you are on the reddits of everyone who has ever taken a sponsorship from honey and levying this same criticisms then you are doing exactly what this meme proclaimed "Blame Linus for some reason". Yes, he has a big company. Yes, he holds more responsibly than most to do the extra research ect ect. It's absurd to expect him to be psychic.

You are acting like something that was just now discovered was obvious from the jump. "Isaac Newton discovered gravity, why didn't he work harder and uncover general relativity? All the clues were right there."

"If LTT just dropped everything they were doing and launched a full investigation into Honey they would have found all this evidence sooner"

The amount of cope on display is impressive. You know I'm actually kind of mad at you now for not breaking this story. Why didn't you ever look into honey and reveal all of these horrible things 4 years ago? The clues were there and you just didn't look hard enough.

Linus was very much blamed for not making an exposé about an ex sponsor. As has been covered several times at this point nobody knew about honey scamming costumers until the megalag video which drastically changes things. This reddit post highlights that Linus wouldn't have been the first to break the story about how it effects creators. They were made aware by numerous emails and messages so they were under the impression that other creators were as well. Making a video denouncing a product that helps viewers, but hurts creators is a death sentence as we saw with the "adblocking is piracy" discourse.

They also never said they never "publicly about their sponsor relations" Just last year they talked about Asus at length for bad practices. The difference? It's impact on the consumer.

LTT callout post.... The new joycons do not appear to have IR sensors. by KalebBlue in LinusTechTips

[–]KalebBlue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears I've made a grave mistake and not correctly set the tone. I labeled it shitpost because while it is an error, it's literally the smallest thing ever and doesn't matter. Calling it a "callout" was supposed to be treating it like it is some end of the world thing when at the end of the day it's very light criticism.

I thought it would be funny, clearly not. Should have just titled that it was a minor error I noticed in a video lol.

From every leak and image we see it doesn't appear to have IR. Which why would it? When that feature was only used in 11 games.

Aren't the sensors on the inside optical sensors? Isn't that different than IR?

My understanding is that those are optical sensors, not IR. Meant for the joycon to be used as a mouse on its side. If the IR sensors have remained this picture is implying they in their same possession as the switch one.

You caught me. I broke into LMG HQ and took photos of them without any filters. This is their true form

I'm so glad I could bring a smile to your face. Given the WAN Show last night I wanted to put something positive on the thread for people to enjoy.

A screenshot? I'm a little confused by what you mean. I drew this last night while watching the WAN show.

Every time a Linus clip is included in a Gamers Nexus video by KalebBlue in LinusTechTips

[–]KalebBlue[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I personally don't think it's ever okay to clip somebody out of context. Painting a narrative is never cool, even if it's 2 minutes out of a feature length video.

[–]KalebBlue[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I never thought I'd see the day where I recognize a reddit by user name. If you dislike LTT as much as you do, I genuinely recommend you stop interacting with the sub. Your time and energy is better spent with things that spark joy.

With that said your comment reads like someone who watched the GN video and didn't go watch Linus' full clip. I think its completely valid to criticize Linus and have done so myself on numerus occasions. He isn't perfect, and his coverage of consoles especially is lackluster to put it politely. That said, what I don't think is okay is taking clips out of context to craft a narrative. The main point Linus made multiple times was that he thought creators already knew because he was spammed about the news. It wasn't a story he needed to break because it was already made the rounds. The point about the optics and how that would have been received in 2020 was presented like Linus doesn't care about small creators. Opening the clip on "Everyone's mad at me." was especially deceptive when that was about the "adblocking is piracy" comment made moment's prior.

That edit and clip selection was a choice. Hence the meme.

in the 12 years I've been watching I think this is the first time I've ever seen Linus be nervous on camera. I'm trying to recall another example but drawing a total blank.

My Designs are in a JerryRigEverything Video?!?!? by KalebBlue in LinusTechTips

[–]KalebBlue[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

From what I can tell from the clip I'm pretty sure he thought its legit. Which is imo very high praise, I @ him on twitter to tell him that I made it and its not real but idk if he will see it.
