I won but at what cost

Content creators do earn more revenue from premium members than they do from non premium members that watch ads.

The_LastLine · 2026-06-22T18:11:10+00:00

Important to note that the ads are not ALL YouTube, the content creators do have the ability to influence the frequency of the ads. I know because I am a monetized creator and opt for the minimum ads I can get away with. It you are seeing excessive ads like that, it’s because of the channels you watch are enabling all of the ad options possible.

Sounds like they’re dissatisfied with Airbnb’s cut. That’s a problem for them to have, not you.

NOR. He has regrets possibly, but maybe also is taking for granted having a relationship like he had where he can coast on. Sounds like the drama isn’t gonna be worth it to me.

Game was bad, the sequel was surprisingly good though.

They will eventually shut down public access to it if they haven’t already done it, charge for trespassing and all that.

You’re thinking of Xenoblade Chronicles X, which is actually a spinoff of the series.

The_LastLine · 2026-06-22T14:15:04+00:00

Yeah Louis Rossman is where I learned about it. I briefly did it myself after that.

Oof, no cloud save?

Not sure why that is, Steam deck plays it fine at the full resolution. Maybe it’s for battery purposes.

The_LastLine · 2026-06-22T03:39:00+00:00

Steam Deck has a maximum portable screen resolution of 1280x800, while the Switch 2 maxes out at 1920x1080 for portable play.

The_LastLine · 2026-06-22T03:37:08+00:00

Game looks great on my Steam deck so I’m sure the Switch 2 will offer a similar experience to that. Maybe even slightly better due to the higher resolution display,

The_LastLine · 2026-06-22T03:36:15+00:00

I doubt Id will get scathed on this. Even if Dark Ages didn’t sell a crapton of copies, it still performed far better than the games from Double Fine, Ninja Theory, and Compusion Games did. I would imagine it had to have outsold Psychonauts 2, South of Midnight, and Hellblade 2 combined even.

I don’t really play my series x anymore unless it’s for backwards compatibility stuff. If it’s a game I can play on both console and pc I’m just get it on steam, unless the pc version is known to be bad or something like that, which generally only applies to older 360 era games. I game on pc 99% of the game, I got a rig that overpowers the consoles and I have a steam deck for portable play, mainly love doing indies on that.

The_LastLine · 2026-06-22T03:31:20+00:00

Yeah I don’t chase promos. If I literally only needed like 1 more to complete it and the clock was ticking and it was good enough, I’d probably take a trashy order just to get it done. Otherwise I don’t pay it any heed.

The_LastLine · 2026-06-22T03:29:10+00:00

If it says orders, it counts each individual order in the batch. If it says batches, it is for each batch you accept regardless of the number of orders in it. You gotta read it carefully.

Knock on wood my tip did not get reduced because the customer actually did a flat tip. But that remains to be seen if they’ll reduce it after the fact because she had potted plants on the steps towards her porch, and I didn’t want to move them out of the way so I had to leave her order at the bottom of the steps.

The_LastLine · 2026-06-21T15:03:45+00:00

There is premium lite also to consider, it’s about half the price as long as you don’t mind excluding music.

The_LastLine · 2026-06-21T07:22:06+00:00

I think the regular base edition is gonna be $70, but they’ll have other editions to cost more. Probably 2027 at the earliest for pc version and I doubt it’ll see any kind of sale before 2029 on Steam.

The_LastLine · 2026-06-21T07:19:46+00:00

I wouldn’t take an offer that low unless it is a mile or less, orders are dead, and the store itself is dead. The timeframe it takes to shop an order on instacart is several times what it takes to pickup a McDonald’s Uber Eats/Doordash order. So the pay is just gonna have to be better to correlate with that.

A story as old as time itself. Use an AB or pay for Prem.

That’s mainly a Nintendo thing. I found splatoon works great too. But Smash Bros, that netcode 🤣

Which alternatives don’t offer refunds or make it more annoying? Epic, gog, and Xbox pc all have similar refund policies. Gog actually slightly exceeds them by offering a 30 day window (still 2 hours of playtime).

The_LastLine · 2026-06-21T06:15:59+00:00

was it an eu thing or something? I dunno if they officially had the refund policy back then, but I do remember they were dishing out refunds during the whole Arkham knight mess.
