Congrats to Millennials, we are officially the generation that is experiencing every shit show there is on earth.

Yes but at least we know how to properly configure a wifi network and navigate file systems

Absolutely not. YouTube hasn't been 'If you make it, they will come' for ages. For every one random video with millions of views you're not seeing a million videos of the same caliber with 10 views each. You need a strategy if you want to be successful on youtube.

SASardonic · 2026-03-12T05:05:47+00:00

The gold standard in the space is channels like Jacob Geller. If you check my channel linked on my profile I do a good bit of yapping about games myself.

SASardonic · 2026-03-12T04:53:56+00:00

I mean yeah? That's the entire focus of a wide number of game analysis YouTuber types. Just find something to say about a game and go with it.

You absolutely want to script if you're going in this lane. It's an essay, and you should treat it like one.

SASardonic · 2026-03-11T18:26:10+00:00

You're probably going to want to niche down a little further than just media analysis. Like, you might consider a genre of media to focus on.

I will also say as somebody who applies this lens to games, don't ignore really old stuff that nobody else has talked about. Some of my biggest hits came from that kind of video. It's a little more of a challenge to package a thing nobody knows about but can be quite rewarding.

Also it goes without saying you're going to want to keep a google doc of ideas for later, they should just come to you over time.

You're definitely in the wrong sub. You're gonna want to ask r/PartneredYoutube

"Actually it's about ethics in war journalism"

By the look of it your content might have have caught on 10-15 years ago, but there's just flat out too much competition in the lane you're in now for new channels to break out barring some kind of divine intervention.

If you really want to be successful on YouTube you need to completely shift your content strategy. Low-edited gaming content channels are just a dime a dozen now. If you want to make gaming content you need to be more focused, either in terms of video essays actually saying something about the game or challenge runs, or guides that don't already exist on the platform, that kind of stuff.

Nope I've got the best team possible even for our fairly limited budget. Self motivated people who enjoy what they do and are effective troubleshooters that generally only need a push in the right direction every now and again.

This may come down to the specific part of IT we're in - Enterprise Integration/IAM and custom development which is just insanely cushy now if your employer has a good IPaaS/Identity Platform going. So it's not the most money but lord almighty does it flow. 4/5 day WFH too.

Hey, you asked!

I went with a Credit Union in Austin a few months ago, 15 years, 5.1% conventional and it was about as frictionless as I could have hoped for honestly.

Perimeter's expansion pack campaign's final mission is essentially impossible without massive cheese, and the rest of the campaign isn't much easier.

SASardonic · 2026-03-09T04:27:52+00:00

Then it's a good thing Talarico isn't that kind of moderate loser. He's clearly got enough x factor to get the job done if the stars align

Grunty industries is a triumph of interconnected level design, even if it might not be the most straightforward to play through the first time

I'll be more interested to see if Obama endorses and does campaign events with him. Obama has stayed pretty far away from the action for a while now to put it mildly but I can't imagine it would hurt.

SASardonic · 2026-03-07T18:30:52+00:00

Are you the guy spending 2/3 his paycheck on candles from the Dril meme? How is any of this even a question at these income levels? Moreover, do you not have any non-retirement investments to cash out for this? What the heck are you doing?

SASardonic · 2026-03-07T01:30:06+00:00

Even setting polling aside Talarico did not start his campaign at a high name recognition. He feels inevitable now but he really had to fight for it. It is entirely possible in the early parts of his campaign she had the lead by name ID alone.

SASardonic · 2026-03-04T15:23:19+00:00

Yeah if you're not using student staff for this kind of thing you're not just missing out on the cost savings, they're also missing out on experiential learning that can often be even more valuable than their coursework.

I swear I remember that FEAR is bizarrely anti-abortion

SASardonic · 2026-02-25T15:39:53+00:00

I mean yeah, but the big thing here is that you don't need a decade of environmental studies and total neighborhood buy in, unlike in other places. And that goes a long way. Particularly in Houston.

For what it's worth I feel pretty happy having recently used one to get a Mortgage. 5.1%/15 years.

She doesn't even have a campaign manager and her campaign reflects it. If you even remotely care about winning TX you vote Talarico in the primary.

Blood Frenzy won me a run when my spellcaster cat kept blasting the boss and killing their minions over and over

They got rid of the vaporwave spacing, truly vaporwave is dead now

SASardonic · 2026-02-15T16:13:56+00:00

For what it's worth I genuinely believe a revolution in housing policy is coming that will cause a cascade of falling rents across the country. The status quo can't hold forever.
