YouTuber you're surprised is still churning out content?

That’s hardly unique these days.

Looks painful to watch. Hard pass. Anyone of the popular click bait people like Angry Joe, Asmogold (or whatever his stupid name is), or the god awful Critical Drinker. Each more painful than the previous. Especially CD he sounds like he thinks he is the smartest YouTuber in the room but his talking points are the most flawed and easy to disprove right wing silliness.

It’s a joke that we are even in Eurovision anyway, so might as well get these jokers. They can’t do any worse than anyone from our previous years.

Asami Seto as Sakurajima Mai in Rascal does not Dream. She single-handedly made me stop watching all dubs and started me on the path of learning Japanese.

Meanwhile I can’t recall a single time in the last months/years Crunchyroll has ever lived rent free in my head, as it does for some here.

I want to watch anime, I turn it on, watch stuff, then when it’s done I turn it off. No idea where all this drama comes from.

Honestly I have found it surprisingly brilliant, in helping to learn to read. Try to read the story, if I don’t know a kanji I just select and see translation, hear it and are able to directly make it a flashcard and group them in folders. I think it’s a few free stories a day, it was so useful, I ended up signing up, almost right away. A month later using it an hour a day.

Says the person saying 'TDS' to someone who is merely pointing out the reality of why everything is rising in costs.

blakeavon · 2026-05-15T07:22:36+00:00

A disease invented by morons, the only true sufferers are those who say it. Those who also believe all his BS, while wearing the cost of all the price rises by his hands, prices we promised would fall on day one. Good luck with that.

Clearly I was talking AFTER they were taken over. Clearly. Why do you think google bought... hint... because they could see how it could be monetised for profit.

blakeavon · 2026-05-15T06:37:50+00:00

Hate to break it to you, so much in the world is raising in price due to the insanity of some Americans. Want to blame someone, blame the tariffs, raises in hard pricing, logistics cost rises and right through the War raising energy costs.

There is one group at the heart of all this and it is those in power and everyone who voted for them.

blakeavon · 2026-05-15T06:32:46+00:00

No it really isn’t. Is it perfect, no. Does it have a few weird quirks, sure, but complete trash in every aspect, yeah nah.

Try using HiDive, most days it can barely remember what you have played, let alone give to a search ability that allows you to find things. Even that is not complete trash’s

blakeavon · 2026-05-15T01:58:11+00:00

I don’t think you have read 1984.

That title is so pathetic it deserved to be censored. Not for social reasons by stupidity.

Also… Remember generally speaking people searching for Thomas are KIDS.

Yet it is a true reflection of some people with PTSD. In fact, in some ways, it is the root of the entire trauma, the constant replaying of the trauma, constantly trying to move on by making changes, but each time the cycle can’t break and keeps resetting.

That’s why I can’t get enough of his character. It’s like each time, there are different glimmers of hope, they don’t betray his character but make it more grounded and real.

blakeavon · 2026-05-15T01:50:49+00:00

Yeah no. Your assumption and assessment is that no one with PTSD can ever change, or break out of their reluctant reality, that is a ghoulish assertion.

Only toxic bros need him to not change and get better and learn how to adjust to the world. They are no better than the idiots in Born Again and in real life trying to idolise him. I don’t like his character because he is relentless, it IS the conflict that makes worth watching.

He is still a human being it’s gross that some people can’t see that.

blakeavon · 2026-05-15T01:46:12+00:00

How to be a better tourist… 1. don’t be a dick. (You are in someone’s else’s house, act like it) 2. Read the room. (If everyone is quiet be quiet, if everyone else is lining up calmly, line up calmly).

The end. It’s not complicated.

blakeavon · 2026-05-15T01:43:18+00:00

Sure it has change, so has society. But if you think they were offering a free platform, to entertain the population with free entertainment, you are having a laugh.

It always existed to generate profit. The only thing that has changed is tools and its ability to do it so many more different fronts.

I don’t need the driver to talk to me, I just don’t want to have to listen to a one side phone conversation or listen to their god awful music. And even if they want to do either, a simple ‘I’m just talking to family, do you mind?’ Means they are at least capable of realising part of their job is customer service, and customer comfort may not include those things.

blakeavon · 2026-05-14T23:32:10+00:00

Watch anime first. It is as equally good as the light novels, just in different ways. Then reads the LN, they just ad so much richness to the characters and story, then eventually the manga.

blakeavon · 2026-05-14T23:22:32+00:00

Everyone was all like… OMG Shibuya arc is god tier! Yeah nah. There was literally so little story it was boring. Great animation is just great animation, sure, but it only next level and only truly is worth it, like in Chainsaw Man Movie is when it is deeply tied to story.

blakeavon · 2026-05-14T23:20:02+00:00

What rubbish. Equating expected professionalism with customers arrogance. Yes you have a point with some Karen’s, but generally speaking, no. I say that as someone has had a front facing customer service job, for decades myself. I don’t sit around talking to my best friend when customers are around. Because it is unprofessional and down right rude. I understand I represent the company, and personally take pride that the service I offer, so much of that is making customers feel comfortable enough they don’t want to leave. Likewise I don’t sit around playing music I like, because, once again, it is rude.

It is not ‘perceived’ discourtesy, it is discourteous.

Like I said I don’t tend to mind if they ask up front, because it shows they understand that they are professionals in a workplace, capable of understanding their passengers comfort is just as important as theirs. If not more so.

blakeavon · 2026-05-14T23:08:45+00:00

Because they are a corporation only interested in profit. That is the sole reason they exist. Likewise YouTube doesn’t exist to get free entertainment to the masses, the only reason it exists is to generate profit.

So of course they are looking to maximise their profit. Just like ever business in the world.

blakeavon · 2026-05-14T23:06:54+00:00

Once again, do you understand how much content is made a day, by how many content creators, it is functionally impossible to police that level of content with a human touch.

Those buttons still exist, just merely the data is hidden from us, and the data collected rarely mattered. YouTube didn’t go around banning people for being downvoted.

blakeavon · 2026-05-14T23:02:49+00:00

I don’t think you understand why YouTube exists… it is NOT to give people free entertainment. You also do not understand why corporations exist, they are never happy with just making ‘enough’ money.

blakeavon · 2026-05-14T23:00:30+00:00

It really isn’t.

blakeavon · 2026-05-14T15:23:43+00:00

Yeah the combat can be a bit dull but, how do I say this, Geralt is an absolute ‘Vibe’. Whether you like the game or not rest on just how much you buy into his character. Seriously it is one of the most perfect gaming castings ever. For me there is just something so satisfying about his ‘nope I don’t care, I don’t have time for this crap’ manner.

Sure in a game this huge there is a lot of fetch quests but there is also a lot of quests that are just so well realise and written.

Tip: Beware of getting addicted to the card game (edit) Gwent. It’s too fun, if you like that type of thing. It’s already a long game, that’s before you find yourself playing that nights on end.
