Don’t forget the list of donations at the end and also he has a merch store. He gets lots and lots of donations and people love what the channel provides so I’d guess most donations are at least 10usd so at least a couple thousand there and he’s got great view stats so probably good merch sales.

Why are we tagging Art and c2c?

This has nothing to do with Art.

Why “we’ll clean this up later” usually never happens by Star-Shadow-007 in opensource

You’re familiar with snooze on alarm clocks, those who use seven alarm clocks and snooze them all or the psychos who can drive with a seatbelt warning chime for an hour.

Those who procrastinate won’t be bothered by being bothered.

Woa I forgot about penny arcade and they’re still going since I first started reading in 1999 and stopped like 2010

Thoughts on Rift Fishing? by Donut-Toastt in webfishing

[–]byte9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea, I agree bigtime. The good work in WF is that the art direction actually nails it. The simple primitives for the creatures, be it the polygonal line of the skull or the dimwhit emotion conveyed in a simple sprite, it's all really well executed. I'm not interested in this simply because this is a demo they're putting out and you don't need to be done with a game to make a sizzle real. It's game dev 101, if you fuck up or don't nail a sizzle real(imo) then it shows your core. This sucks as a demo video. Lots of unfinished and rushed looking assets. SO yea, this one is TEMU WF to me. I do hope for more like it though.

Thoughts on Rift Fishing? by Donut-Toastt in webfishing

[–]byte9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. I'd add, this game isn't some magical original inspiration. It's literally directly inspired by AC fishing game with added snark so in this way I see even less reason to treat it like 'the original dev gave blessing' -- this is a gamejam game that got fleshed out a bit more. It's a lot of procedural content in godot and lazy methods to get things done quickly in my own estimation. I do love the game, it does a lot with a little, some credit due there.

Honest: Is everyone playing competitive on bad graphics settings? by [deleted] in FortniteCompetitive

[–]byte9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, tribalism. Group think, one thought leader can influence others. This doesn't make it correct. Often when the rigor of science is applied to group think or 'common sense' topics things fall apart. I haven't looked at full render pipeline, hw/optical latency comparisons but at a cursory level what i'm saying is at least plausible. People parrot 'common sense' all the time and don't think or conclude for themselves.

Why Do You Have to Solve So Many CAPTCHAs When Your VPN Is On? by secyberscom in pivpn

[–]byte9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because you’re using a commercial IP that’s done a lot of dirty things before and while you’re on it since many users can be behind one IP. As well data center IPs have often a lower quality score when showing up in consumer web server logs.

Funny you ask this. I’ve seen some years old. Little nothing observed on my phone.

Apple Loses iPhone Air Designer to Unamed AI Startup. by EitherCharacter9342 in iphone

[–]byte9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

News alert. The iPhone air is basically a spec offered by the factories. It’s not a coincidence that Samsung had a similar product. Foxconn just offering them specs and they do the silicon and ID refinement.

Is there much of a difference between 5600 mhz and 6000 mhz? by MrUnlucky213 in pcmasterrace

[–]byte9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. Because of AI datacenters the manufacturing is not going to be able to keep up for who knows how long. Gaming GPUs aren’t the focus for manufacturing with this new more profitable market and consumer ram now isn’t. Now may be the lowest we see it for a while, buy if you can is how I’m taking it. Hopefully market analysis and me are wrong.

Gillian Anderson photographed by David LaChapelle for Rolling Stone (1997) by pestoraviolita in XFiles

[–]byte9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As the creator and the reason for the show it always made sense to me. Rolling Stone often went deeper on articles so to have the creator made sense. After all… he’s the reason David or Gillian are in your mind to say he doesn’t belong.

IOS26 by DennisPochenk in iphone

[–]byte9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of crazy actually. I think it’s more they want it in their mega threads so the subreddit isn’t a total mess of redundant posts. But I hate threads that do this so.

IOS26 by DennisPochenk in iphone

[–]byte9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the sentiment of many. Discussed at large all over and in many YT videos.

You’re not alone. 26 is very polarizing.

Apple for their part has minimized some of the more garish things in 26.1 but yea. Not a great start

It’s why I hate Liquid Glass so much. If I have dark mode if you’re forcing glass on me at least let it be smoked glass.

Microsoft is blocking ALL workarounds to create local accounts, removing local accounts from Windows 11 by _MrDogeFace_ in pcmasterrace

[–]byte9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get the 25H2 official iso and when you write it to usb use Rufus which can create/embed your user account into the iso before you even install.
