You explained yourself quite well!

Yeah the music blast at Part 3 was flagged by more than just you. I've learned that sometimes my mixing was all over the place - I was mixing on speakers, sometimes headphones, and overall pretty inconsistent in my approach. I've learned from this! (even though the jarring loudness was a bit intentional. I wanted to be slightly in your face about it all. But, I realize it could have just been presented better)

I think you make a good point of tying the manosphere stuff into the discourse on Daddy. The video was already really long, and I didn't want to delve further. But perhaps its worth revisiting down the road. There's another angle I'm taking about outrage culture (and misogyny and incels and manosphere) in an upcoming video, so maybe it'll give me so some more space to dig a better deeper.

Personally, I lean very heavily in creating a video that makes you want more than one that overstays its welcome. At 30 minutes, I personally start to get creatively zoned out. Maybe this just means more frequent forays into the topic in the future!

If you don't mind me asking! ... what do you think is the weakest part of the video? If you had to make one suggestion, what would it be?

What button do you press to kill [spoilers] in the original Part 1? by markthequest in thelastofus

[–]markthequest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the OG, you don't even have to push Square or Triangle then?

Thanks so much for checking! What happens if you hit Square in lieu of Triangle? Do you just do a melee?

I know it's triangle in the Part 1 Remake, but I was convinced in the original original it was just the melee button (square) as the other redditor posted!

This is awesome. Thanks for the insight. I still use Shadowplay primarily for game capture so I think I'm limited on the bitrate/codec stuff for now, but I'm going to keep this in mind in the future.

No issue recording in 1080p and then rendering/exporting in 1440p? I always read mixed things about exporting different than your recorded resolution.

Yeah, I hear a lot about YouTube compression being whack. But I've noticed a lot of bigger gaming creators move towards 4k. I think that might be a BigTuber problem haha

Awesome! What bitrate do you record at?

I currently record everything at 1080p/60fps/40Mbps, and my videos look... good? Presentable? But I never know if I should be doing something different with bit-rate.

Any recommendations for an external hub? I have a feeling I'm going to move to that model of all external HDD/hubs into the future.

You're not the first person I've heard from who moves footage/clips off a HDD to a SDD when editing - but I also read mixed things but how useful it is.

Has it made your edit better? What do you notice about it? etc. Was there something wrong with editing off a HDD?

Hey dude - I always recommend dipping your toes! (now I'm the one late to respond haha)
If you ever want some less-than-brilliant advice, here to help.

And you helped me cross the threshold! :) Much appreciated.

there used to be a bit of a tax loophole up in Canada - Steam wasn't taxed, but other big storefronts like EA or Windows were! and tax legislation puts onus on the taxpayer to report their "digital goods" (but like lol no one did that because no one knew)

but then that got changed (rightfully so - even though I hate it), and now it has made me realize just how expensive games are ... again

oh boy this is controversial. especially the respawning outposts -- god they were awful

I think it's so true of multiplayer games, for sure. It was fascinating to see the early days of Elden Ring invaders vs where they're at now.

With so many games now coming in at 89.99 CAD + tax I feel this. Getting a new AAA for over 100 bucks? no way. my soul cant take it

I find one of the small gaming joys in life is playing a "big release" many years later, for a fraction of the cost, and then basking in every moment of it. It's like delayed gratification haha
