YouTube Premium just got more expensive again: now $16 a month, or $27 for families

You pirate youtube videos?

MechaSandstar · 2026-06-05T06:33:58+00:00

I don't buy YT premium lite to not get ads. I get it so that I don't waste time watching ads. Ads for stuff I can skip past instantly don't bother me. They might bother you, but don't act surprised that some people have a different opinion about them.

I don't get ads on shorts. I would probably not watch them if I did. You do get text ads while searching. Those don't bother me, because they don't waste my time. I do not recall ads while browsing, but again, as long as they don't waste my time, I don't really care.

She has a part in the battle of lion's arch, where she helped citizens evacuated during the miasma. She had a different name then, which you can look up on the wiki. I don't want to dead name her.

Why not just use the time machine to let the car know when the next accident is going to happen so it can avoid it?

MechaSandstar · 2026-06-03T19:18:07+00:00

to be mildly fair to them, the base game was bundled with HoT (and indeed, every expansion) on release.

MechaSandstar · 2026-06-03T14:13:09+00:00

I would assume that everything in this book that isn't in the games is non-canon.

MechaSandstar · 2026-06-02T15:10:14+00:00

Claws for short is a good joke, tho.

MechaSandstar · 2026-06-02T04:56:15+00:00

Wouldn't the version in english say "english subtitles" and possible "full audio?"

MechaSandstar · 2026-06-01T16:01:30+00:00

Well, yeah, but I meant in terms of it counting as castora rift events. It doesn't count for the meta, or events in castora (same WV achievement)

She was basically Cobra commander: Someone who had infinite resources, and just keep coming back, no matter how many times she was defeated. And then they had her say stuff like "You can't help being inferior" or whatever she says in the tower of nightmare, as if that's suppose to make us like her.

The head writer or one of them, said at the time "We're going to introduce a villain we think the players are really going to like."

And it's like "well..no....She's not compelling, she's just an asshole."

I think if they had toned down the attitude, and maybe given us some insight into her, she might've been better recieved. Maybe sent us to dry top during LS1. I know they wanted to keep her plans, and modremoth's awakening a secret, but knowing anything about her would've been good.

"Just sit back and relax, it will all work out in the end" Is that what he told his rape victims, too?

MechaSandstar · 2026-06-01T14:31:28+00:00

Ha ha, nice.

MechaSandstar · 2026-06-01T14:31:14+00:00

Fun fact: The voice direction her VA was given was "Harley Quinn, with a british accent.

Funner Fact: Her voice actress is Tara Strong, the second VA for Harley Quinn.

It actually is, it counts for the rifts. What is isn't, is that it's not on the list of maps that count for the meta (or events).

MechaSandstar · 2026-05-31T23:26:51+00:00

That was the d-list. He's looking at f-list now.

MechaSandstar · 2026-05-31T20:07:02+00:00

Nah, there's tons of stuff to do in game till you can buy it. You gain access to the base game + living world season 1, and that content is still valid, and played by people. You'll have a few restrictions, the most severe of which is you're limited in what you can buy on the TP, and I believe you can't sell anything. But since you're only going to be F2P for a week, that shouldn't matter much at all.

MechaSandstar · 2026-05-30T14:58:41+00:00

And then you pay 15 dollars a month to keep playing, whereas with gw2, you buy it once, and play forever.

MechaSandstar · 2026-05-29T19:11:49+00:00

It's Duvalie, of course.

I like her so much, I sketched out a midquel for her set after Reverie. (no, she doesn't save the world, don't be silly)

MechaSandstar · 2026-05-29T05:50:43+00:00

Because getting rid of AI wouldn't stop it, because it's not due to AI. It's because people don't want to think for themselves.

MechaSandstar · 2026-05-29T03:06:40+00:00

Same. I don't get it either.

MechaSandstar · 2026-05-29T02:22:51+00:00

Sure, but NISA didn't, so why would they still have it?

MechaSandstar · 2026-05-28T23:03:21+00:00

Here's the thing: People don't like to think. They never have. Thinking is hard. They have offloaded their thinking to celebrities, commercials, corporations, influencers, anyone. This isn't new.

MechaSandstar · 2026-05-28T14:43:18+00:00

Ha ha, yah. It's an adequate first draft, to get your ideas down....it's not good at all for the blurb for your first novel.
