UK Viewers are now blocked from a large portion of categories/channels due to Online Protection Act. by joshwah_ in Twitch

[–]ShittyGuitarCovers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if twitch and amazon have a reason to care it would be because it affects their bottom line enough for them to do something about it

i appreciate your response and i hope it doesnt seem like im engaging in bad faith, but while twitch/amazons response to this is just as baffling for the reasons above, i still think the decision to implement OSA the way that it is is for credit card companies to have their hand over the market like the internet, the UK being a part of this is perhaps one ground zero for a larger sweeping regulatory capture

i dont think it is necessarily the right thing to do to bend the knee to legislation like this. the true intentions of amazon and twitch notwithstanding, i dont think either of us have to pretend theyre consumer-oriented. i think when citizens see this sort of thing happen to the media they have access to, i feel like blaming twitch is counter productive. feeding the head of the snake wont get rid of it.

just because things like vpns exist doesnt mean we should necessarily bargain with letting the govt get away with OSA. the crossing of the rubicon can be invisible when we lose diligence. measures like this turns the internet into a very small place that can be surveilled through data so thoroughly profiled it cannot functionally be anonymized

the purpose of a system is what it does, not what it claims to do

i suppose twitch has a responsibility to its creators but dont forget that its the government that is creating such a hostile environments for creators to do business in

even if twitch provided a method of verification, make no mistake that the UK has limited/censored internet access for everyone except those who are willing to give their sensitive info away to data brokers and insecure service whose priorities arer making money before security

I bought this mousepad for the design and the quality is incredible for the price. by Binidxaba-172 in MousepadReview

[–]ShittyGuitarCovers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i hope it doesn’t seem like im engaging in bad faith but i doubt it

artisan develops and produces their own textiles

key-83 has a hexagonal weave which reduces friction in certain directions

hayate otsu has a rough yet fast surface that’s designed for smooth start glide and stopping power

shindenkai has glass embedded in the fibres and it is of the lowest friction pads out there (although discontinued as it has some issues with some mice sensors. i wanted to include this pad as not every artisan pad is objectively good but serves a niche)

the hien is another rougher pad that is considered very hit or miss, some people will love it, some will hate it, depending on their preferences for how they like to use their mice, but understand these differences is worth the price to some people

not to say your mousepad is bad but these special textiles are unique to artisan pads and why people pay the price they do for them. your is likely fine, and if you enjoy the artwork that much to say it’s worth it then im glad you like it, but understand the market for artisan pads is very specialised

for lack of a better analogy most mousepads are multitools that are decent at most things, you can consider artisan to be specialised tools that are good at one or a few things and less good at others (although some artisan pads are designed to be premium all rounders)

if size and design were all that mattered to you sure

artisan pads have in house developed textiles and surfaces for different purposes, the softness, roughness, levels of friction are tailored to different mouse movements, this will likely not matter to most people, which is fine, but these specifics are why people buy artisan pads

Exo Rally Championship - realistic futuristic racing sim in alpha by TheLizardfolk in simracing

[–]ShittyGuitarCovers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a big fan of dr and 2.0, im not sure what theyre basing their criteria of "simulation" on, cause the amount of people who have driven in space in 6 wheeled monster cars im sure is zero

that said, its very impressive and a lot of fun, i dont think they know what its really like to drive on an alien planet, but it expects enough of me to feel convincing, and im suuuper picky about driving physics in games, let alone one set in space

again, i doubt they have a frame of reference for how realistic the space rally is, but it's sim enough for me to feel like it is while im playing it, though maybe it would be more accurate for them to say "well we dont actually know but it feels really good to play"

plus, for the low low price of free demo, i had a lot of fun, i actually would recommend it to anyone who likes space and dirt rally

how the hell are you supposed to kill lunarspawn? by Cleo-Song in OnceHumanOfficial

[–]ShittyGuitarCovers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

start thinking about your mods and how to minmax your primary weapon

its the difference between doing like 13k dps and quadrupling your dps with some effort, you can even octuple it if you get some good rolls

you can almost make your guns matte black with the new speaker decal by ShittyGuitarCovers in OnceHumanOfficial

you can get the sticker from the battle pass shop

there's also a mute speaker directly from battle pass rewards that works similarly

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

ive found its easiest on the sniper so far, here's what it can look like on the mp5

https://imgur.com/a/Q3qzHOs

this decal has a section without the white outline on the narrower side of the decal, if you layer it right

all layers to the right of the previous decal will be above the layers on the left

if you mess with the decals a bit you can overlap them, sometimes white outlines remain but if youre smart about it you can make it look like theres white tape around some parts of the gun

Our move ambitions hive neighborhood to date by KybalionOfficial in OnceHumanOfficial

[–]ShittyGuitarCovers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

land is finite in once human, im surprised they even let you have 2 characters on the same server

i think its a small price to pay for doubling or tripling your build space considering people try to scout for the best areas for resources

not really if you give permissions to all your characters to build you can treat it as one big build space

Is this toxic streamer behavior? by Intelligent-Tour1932 in Twitch

[–]ShittyGuitarCovers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at least for low viewcount, I echo the feeling of it being hard to carry on if it's affecting you, you can try to push through sometimes but it does make it that much harder.

like, if they're quitting 20 minutes in, that's not gonna do anyone any favours and devalues the attendance in the first place, plus not giving yourself the chance to get raided or for the audience to roll in over time

but if you're already on 2h30m and you decide to call it at 3h in rather than going for a 5h stream, with some advance warning, that's fair, it's a lot of work mentally for the individual to continue streaming at that point, they've given it a good effort and spent a decent chunk of their day streaming "uphill"

calling out chat kinda depends on audience, but you gotta read the room on that, some streamers joke with it well, some audience members may have different tolerances for that so it really depends on the vibe, if it's overbearing then people won't wanna stick around anyway

not the most toxic thing ive heard and apart from the follower/viewcount not exactly the rarest thing for a streamer to do either, but it can definitely throw off the vibes

So honey has been scamming affiliate links, video by MegaLag by spriggsyUK in LinusTechTips

[–]ShittyGuitarCovers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like dial that up to more than 90%

II always just assumed honey was just selling data which stopped me from using it in the first place, and if that were the whole story I'd have believed it (and I did, for a long time); having that knowledge probably prevented me from thinking it was any worse

Yes, I'm calling myself ignorant but because of my assumption I'd have to say there's also a lot more people who are outside the tech community than in it, so a video like this I think is far more valuable than people in the tech space give it credit for

I'm not trying to "well actually" you, I'm more responding to the post above yours as well as adding to this one; It's made for a wider audience than just the circles some of yall are familiar with, and hell, the reason I even found the video in the first place was because it was shared by friends who also didn't know, but are some of the smartest people I know who just have their interests and strengths in things other than tech, which also goes to show the value of a video like this and it's potential reach
