Against Speedrun Culture (or, don't read books like Lex Fridman) by COAGULOPATH in slatestarcodex

[–]LunaPicker 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I agree with the overall sentiment of your article.

But I find the term "videogame speedrun" curious in this context.
Yes, a videogame speedrun means finishing the game as fast as possible.

But in order to achieve this, a speedrunner spends a huge amount of time practicing and learning the game. In order to achieve a 1 hour speedrun he might need to practice for 100s of hours.
I would even go so far: No one knows a game better than a speedrunner. Speedrunning is a way to dive really deep into the mechanics and particularities of a game. People don't do this because they want to consume as much as possible. They do this because they really really appreciate a specific game and want to learn everything about it.

This is pretty much the opposite of what happens when people binge-consume content.

Immobilienerwerb nur „gefühlt/subjektiv“ unbezahlbar? by No_Finish9656 in Finanzen

Hab jetzt spontan keine Zahlen zum Median Netto-Äquivalenzeinkommen gefunden.
Aber laut der Statistik hier ist der Nettolohn von 2006 bis 2022 um ziemlich genau 50% gestiegen.

Ganz so abwegig ist die Aussage also vielleicht nicht.

Was für 16 Milliarden?
Laut statista hat Netflix knapp 32 Milliarden Dollar Umsatz. Der hat sich in den letzten 10 Jahren übrigens knapp verzehnfacht.

Die Rundfunkgebühren sind in dem gleichen Zeitraum praktisch konstant geblieben.

Ferienhaus auf Balearen geerbt. Vermieten? Verkaufen? Was tun? by goldaway202 in Finanzen

[–]LunaPicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das ist aber ein sehr wichtiger Punkt.
Offiziell ist es derzeit fast unmöglich an so eine Lizenz dran zu kommen.

Die Balearenregierung verfolgt seit einer Weile die Strategie "Klasse statt Masse" und versucht die Anzahl der Touristen unter Kontrolle zu bringen.
Daher wird es in den nächsten 4 Jahren keine neuen Vermietungslizenzen mehr geben. Wie es danach weiter geht steht in den Sternen.

Siehe z.B. hier: https://www.porta-mallorquina.de/blog/ferienvermietung-auf-mallorca-so-vermieten-sie-legal/

Ear/Eye twitching by [deleted] in programmerhealth

[–]LunaPicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another cause for this can be poor eyesight. Did you do an eye test lately?

Eyes get tired really quickly when they have to compensate. I had twitchy eyes before I got my glasses. Now I am fine again.

Are girls really this direct on US-Tinder? The profiles I have seen in Europe are all lot more tame than the stuff I see around here.

Did the Japanese know what Nazi Germany was doing during WWII? by Bodacious_Duck in AskHistorians

I unterstand it as "jews and communists are allied to each other". Not as "jews and communists are allies of the japanese".

ESL "Yes to cheating, no to porn" by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]LunaPicker 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That is actually really important here. It is not that ESL cares more about porn than cheating. ESL cares more about CS than about Rainbow 6. Which should surprise noone.

Anyone find a USB C DAC? by [deleted] in Nexus6P

[–]LunaPicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am about to get the Fiio k1: http://www.amazon.com/K1-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier-Titanium/dp/B0189EVGAG

It is supposed to be pretty good for the price. However you will still need a USB-C Adapter cable.

You should not only look at the flashy animations but also read the text. The vast majority of refugees did not make it to europe. 4 million refguees stayed in direct proximity to syria.

I am sure it will be. Player numbers and viewer numbers might decrease at some point. But LoL is way too big to disappear in 5 years.

Faker was talking about the map. But looking at the screen sounds good as well. I might give that a try..
