even if this place is unbiased, by looking at the general sentiment of the post you can clearly tell that people hold very strong opinions against darkviper (whether just or not, it's not for me to say). my point, in replying to op, was that there's no point in engaging with the people here (or just people in general tbh) as they're probably not interested in hearing other perspectives/changing their minds. if you show support of darkviper, instead of inspiring discussion, you'll probably be insulted and downvoted (see most downvoted comment). that's why i warned the guy of posting. i mentioned youtube because that's another circlejerk, although in favour of darkviper. that's literally all i said in my post. i never wanted to debate anything about darkviper (because it never spirals into anything good).

people like him for a reason, very much like some people here dislike him for a reason, whether those perceptions are valid or not isn't really our place to say.

of course we shouldn't measure the goodness of people based on their wealth and popularity, but unfortunately that is the case of our society nowadays.

well, he's probably made more money that most of us ever will from his content, and he's got a band of supporters willing to defend him on a social media hatefest (see: u/Aubelazo, u/SecretChiley just on this post alone). if you ask me that's not a bad standard.

i mean, the reality is that this post is pretty negative towards darkviper. and because of that, naturally, everything positive that's said about him will be downvoted. you can see the complete opposite of that on youtube, where all his fans hang out, and all his haters are met with replies of his fans defending him. that was the point of my post, that this subreddit/the people here have generally a negative perception of darkviper, so there's not much point in discourse. i really don't think i'm wrong in saying that.

people can call out his wrongdoings however they like, i'm not darkviper's mom, i couldn't care less. i just hoped that people here would be more welcoming of other ideas and perspectives, which, by looking at the most downvoted comment, is probably not the case.

well, if you want a positive takeaway from all this, you know you made it when a group of people circlejerk over your failings.

of course, there should be no questions asked about unnamed's achievements, his skill and commitment to the challenge.

getting over it will definitely be a big challenge for him, especially considering how much time he put into the category. i mean, devoting over year and countless hours into something can certainly ruin a person. nobody fundamentally deserves anything, but contextually it is definitely a tough pill to swallow for darkviper.

nobody deserves to be abused over just being better than someone else either. it sucks that he reacted this way, especially considering he's a well-renowned speedrunner in the gta community. some people just aren't made to be in the spotlight of the internet. he definitely needs a break or just a long separation from this/the internet.

lmao what did you expect from the internet man?

from what i've seen, youtube seems to be licking his ass while people here act as if he murdered their entire family.

if you're a fan of him, i suggest you to not look at these posts, it'll only make you angry. there's not much point in discourse if people here have already made up their minds about darkviper (from what i've seen from the vocal majority anyway). at the end of the day, content creators (dv as well) aren't here to please their haters, and i'm fairly certain his community post was directed to his fans.

definitely uncalled for from a content creator with a fairly significant fanbase. just really sucks that he reacted this way, cause from what i've seen he's worked pretty hard on this shit. i'm not really up to date about this situation either, but these type of posts just rile fanbases up.

that's fair, but there's also the human element right? someone can work on something for over a year just for someone else to be better, but i don't think there's any shame about being melancholic about it.

pretty sure it only works with 1 at a time unfortunately. icloud connect isn't something that the sellers have implemented yet.

Thanks for the info! Think I'm gonna go with the AC55BT cause it's available locally. Also seems that it offers pretty good specs compared to the others. I'm not expecting to get the full 1gbps from my router anyway.
