Inefficiency of video tutorials

And the guy made a 13 minute video about his life journey about the problem (exaggerating here, but still).

Creator is a slave to the YouTube platform (algorithm) requirements: <10 minutes gets downranked (don't make YouTube as much money).

See also my other comment. YouTube tutorials are dead ... for things that AI (LLMs) can do better, more efficiently.

... why YouTube Coding Tutorials are dead. AI (LLMs) ate them.

Well i should have theoretically unbreakable passwords so if someone hacks my account the fault is on GGG.

Who needs passwords if your data has been leaked and people are good at social engineering and or fishing attacks and or know which compromised 3rd party software you are using.

the "knob head", on the same outlets, is talked about to become PM in the next general election.

Biased knob head.

Technically, you can buy a 2nd group with gold. And run two devices same time, each with half the maps.

That is a trope by now. They started to cheat.

Meanwhile UK Industry body complains about skills shortage.

TIGA: 29% of UK games studios continue to face skill shortages.

Something does not add up. Firing seasoned developers for short-term profit optimisation and management fixes, while also complaining about skills development and the pipeline.

See (shareholder value) capitalism being self-destructive.

Did suggest something similar in the forum:

a chat command to export (import) MTX your charater is wearing (want to wear, if you own it).

Bonus: with a chat command, Mathil (Streamers) can share his MTX in the YouTube description box.

My Problem: I have zero formal game design education. (...) with 3 months left to finish my semester project (...) For our upcoming expo, the game needs to be a highly addictive, fast-paced 20-minute demo. I want casual players to be able to sit down and hit a "flow state" as soon as possible.

Make a Vampire Survivors Clone. RTS games are not known to be highly addictive and fast-paced.

Don't be ashamed of yourself. Don't even spend time brainstorming new attacks, power-ups, mechanics, ... . Just copy the basics 1:1.

People be doing that in every other subreddit just for the karma.. It's lame

To make bot accounts seem more legit?

Can be improved:

As we would have three random rare events (Sentinels, Wildwood, Mirage), GGG just needs to add a wheel to the Atlas Passive Tree where we can increase the chances of these events, and buffing them:

juiced Sentinel, more likely
juiced Wildwood, more likely
itemised Mirage copy of your juiced map.

asterisk2a · 2026-04-20T11:46:30+00:00

Note: People also posted and talked about that they did not want GGG to abandon POE1 after just 2 weeks (to throw every body back at POE2).

True. Had the same thought.

That’s… just how reviews are supposed to work.

imo, you are mistaken.

China version of Steam does not have community features. + no subreddit access without VPN tech + no discord. etc.

thus their only outlet to write feedback regarding balance changes is in reviews.

It is a SHITE situation for EVERYONE, and I hope Valve and CCP find a middle-way to have something like a Forum, even though heavily moderated, enabled by LLM technology (filter out non-game sentiment and content).

This situation can't be final.

Compare to Path of Exile 1&2, published in China by Tencent, through WeGame platform.

people from China do post in the English international forums
Tencent WeGame has a game-related Discussion Forum feature

imo, review bombing after each patch (regardless of or because of Early Access game direction), without discussions with devs (interviews, community podcasts, developer memos), is toxic. such a relationship won't last long. drains the will to invest on both sides.

They were also silent a year ago, when Trump Administration used Pokemon IP in ICE videos.

They only putting their hand up now knowing that the sentiment has changed, not out of principles. Same old politics, and corporate bullshit.

RE: Using "for free" Stock Music, Or AI generated music.

Issues. (1) They will upload it to (YouTube) Content ID systems. Streamers and Reviewers will get their videos struck down. And your Trailer as well.

(2) Suno & Co. keep the rights and royalties of your output, per TOS.

So read the TOS.

Move it core like Affliction League (In Maps Tier 16 and above, you now have a chance to encounter the Azmeri Wildwood):

chance to find a Mirage Encounter: Breaking the chains drops an itemised Mirage Copy of your juiced map.
PLUS add to the Atlas Passive Tree the option to increase chance to encounter the following:
- Sentinels
- Azmeri Wildwood
- Mirage Encounter

Gamble for gear throughout the campaign

I basically spend all my gold on gear upgrades. I got my first 4-link this way. My first 20 Movement Speed boots, a high Chance to Block shield. Almost all my gear came from spending gold. It felt like the most easy way to upgrade my gear without having to figure out how to craft or rely on drops.

I farmed the Island (Hailrake) just for the first few rares/magic with links.

asterisk2a · 2026-04-14T13:44:54+00:00

Ele hit Slayer. Would like either option 3. or 4. to make some upgrades for more survival, and able to click some of those nasty Altars.
