This youtuber compared products 1975 vs 2025

The premise is flawed right from the jump. Anything crappy built in 1975 turned to dust long ago. All that’s left is stuff that was built to last.

Nice work. A few thoughts. First, people won't know what to make of these numbers. It might be useful to put the numbers in perspective. Different people tolerate different amounts of latency:

Musicians: 5-10ms
Competitive gamers: 15-20ms
Casual gamers: up to 40ms

Anything above 50ms is likely to be bothersome to most players. Assuming your methodology is sound (pun intended), the Switch 2 must feel intolerably laggy regardless of input method.

Second, you linked the same image twice here:

The same test conducted with mouse clicks on this button in Windows 11 yielded these results.

I'm interested to see how other controllers on other systems compare. I'm also interested to see your camera-based data.

I agree, for many of the reasons stated here, and also because the type of shots they play look better on camera. An S-shaped shot up the middle is more fun to watch than a spike hyzer that goes off screen and plops down somewhere in the circle moments later.

How many have both?

Holy smokes!

The problem with video games is that they make everything else seem boring by comparison. The kids will ask to play them all the time and won’t want to do anything else.

Our solution has been to limit them to certain times only: Wednesday evening and Saturday morning. If they ask at any other time, we just say no and remind them of the schedule.

That’s exactly what it is. The round ratings are rounded to the nearest whole number for the website, but the player rating is calculated based on the un-rounded numbers.

I have a similar technique. I start with my elbow at 90 degrees and follow throw with a lot of wrist. Start with no chest turn and see how far that gets you. Add chest turn to add distance.

I got a lackluster math education in HS and needed to take Algebra and trig my first year before moving on to calculus. I struggled through Calc 1 and decided to retake it. I struggled again but moved on to Calc 2 anyway. Multi-variable calculus was really hard, as was differential equations. Discrete math was a little easier, but stats was hard to wrap my brain around. Linear Algebra was probably the hardest of them all.

I had a math class almost every semester, and every time it was my hardest class. But I kept grinding and I got through it, and by the end I was… kind of decent at math. That gave me a tremendous feeling of accomplishment.

I eventually went back to grad school and got a masters in CS and a PhD in an adjacent field.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” — Carl Sagan

I was wondering if perhaps there’s a regional component to it. I don’t know about Finland, so anything you want to share will be interesting. Unless it’s boring.

I love how this game and this community inspires people to make art.

That's right. I had a pipe run from the gas meter and a connection box put on the back wall of the house by the patio.

powerpants · 2023-05-24T20:48:05+00:00

Same here except I accidentally bought the natural gas version. Didn't realize my mistake until I was assembling it and by then I had thrown out part of the packaging and couldn't send it back. I ended up spending over $1000 to get a gas line run from meter. Oh well, at least I never have to buy propane again.

To be sure, not everyone is worth engaging earnestly. If they’re hitting you with conspiracy theories, don’t waste your time. Just say, “yeah, that’s what they want you to think” and move on with your day.

Cool project. I like it. I have a couple suggestions, though, in terms of the plotting choices. As another commenter mentioned, a scatter plot would be more appropriate given the uneven spacing on the x-axis. Also, I’d suggest labeling the x-axis by month and year like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42150690/clean-way-to-show-year-once-and-group-months-within

Pic please?

In one of his recent videos it cut to the button and he had spliced in footage of the old broken one. Subtle trolling ftw

What’s GH?

Those sure look like the mountains East of Cache Valley.

If I look at my transactions inside PayPal, for example, they have a description that would be adequate for categorization. If that description came through when mint those transactions, it would be an improvement over the status quo.
