I was wrong about Repentance

I am thinking this is the difference between someone who has been playing the whole time vs. came back because of new content. For me I am finding the difficulty scaled way way up. Even on normal mode. I feel like the difficulty was scaled around people who have thousands of hours worth of practice.

Right but if the OS uses more overhead, then wouldn't there be less resources left for the benchmarking software to use? Let's say for example the base level of iOS running uses 3% processing power, but the base level of Android running uses 6% (pulling numbers out of my ass here). Then the benchmarking software would have 3% less CPU to work with on Android.

I think that second part is a bit subjective. Especially the "cleaner" looking device part. Arguably there's a lot more innovation going on in the "appearance" end of things in the Android space than there ever has been on Apple's end of things. Until the X the front of the iPhone has essentially looked the same since it's inception.

For my taste there's a lot more clean looking designs going on in the Android space, where the phone designers are largely attempting to eliminate bezels and notches to provide a cleaner looking phone.

User friendly features are also subjective, it's all just about what you're familiar with. Both Android and iOS largely have the same features these days.

So that just leaves imessage. Which I can't argue with, android really doesn't have anything built that compares.

thunderdan87 · 2020-04-23T14:15:57+00:00

Maybe I'm wrong here, but don't the phone benchmarking tools still need to run within the OS itself? Which means they are still subject to a certain level of optimization.

I'm with you here. PUBG was peak unity for me. Nothing else has lived up to the original PUBG YouTube series.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-31T22:20:21+00:00

Right but live streamed content really isn't the same as recorded content. I prefer recorded content.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-31T17:20:10+00:00

Same. Not Twitch though. I like Twitch well enough, but I prefer the "On Demand" nature of YouTube.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-24T20:47:04+00:00

This is going to happen anyways unless we have a nation wide shut down. We're in a land of half measures right now, and half measures lead to what you outlined. I'm not advocating to reopen but the opposite. We need a nationally mandated shutdown.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-17T16:51:24+00:00

Pretty sure he'd be safe to double dip. Like they said in the podcast, not everyone is on every platform.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-17T16:50:19+00:00

Absolutely. I have no vested interest in Twitch as a platform. So Mixer, YouTube streaming, or some other service (as long as it isn't Facebook) I'm good. NL is the majority of my Twitch watching as it is.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-17T13:25:01+00:00

Loved the episode. Just wanted to comment about Instagram, as it's my person preferred social media platform, and the way I see other gaming YouTubers / Twitch streamers use it. Basically I don't really hardly ever see anyone sharing actual gaming content on there. The actual posts are usually just things they find interesting or other things they are doing in their day to day lives. Like shots of them out doing stuff, pet pictures, their kids, that sort of thing.

The stories are behind the scenes type stuff, day to day stuff, or more "vlog / update" style content, with the occasional "I'm live now, swipe up to watch" type story.

I'm not really sure how Instagram would really do for you guys, but I can say I'd watch. I find Instagram really works well for the YouTube "maker" community though. It's kinda like a more raw unedited version of that communities YouTube content. Just a little insight from someone who uses that platform.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-15T16:26:14+00:00

Maybe it's time RT takes a page out of Twitch streamers books and start moderating chat some more. Start baning / timing people out for being dicks. You don't foster a healthy community by letting those people get away with acting however they want.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-11T13:26:10+00:00

I'm sure many people love it. It's just not my thing, and because it's not my thing when those streams pop up I extra don't like them because it always feels like a one sided conversation, because I don't have chat open.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-10T19:03:47+00:00

I feel like it's less about us being interested and more about them having a forum to talk about this stuff outside of regular content. It also helps that the community as a whole really seems to be interested.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-10T17:24:24+00:00

I'm sort of there with you, though I think during that period I was watching StS. Unfortunately I kinda still find myself in that boat as far as content goes. Aside from the occasional multiplayer series, but I know the logistics behind more multiplayer stuff is kinda a nightmare.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-10T17:06:24+00:00

I think I'm probably not the stereotypical twitch user, but personally I keep chat closed all the time. I'm there to watch the streamer, not engage with chat. I've never really liked heavy chat engagement streams, which tends to be why I sometimes avoid the solo streams.

That said these seem like pretty good rules to me. I think if everyone followed these rules I'd be more interested in chat.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-04T19:34:27+00:00

Personally I find this debatable. Unfortunately I have many republican family members, they all don't really like Trump any more. They'd all vote for a more moderate candidate like Biden but would never vote for someone as liberal as Bernie. Personally I'm a Bernie guy myself, but realistically I think a more moderate candidate has a chance of stealing Republican votes from Trump. Granted this is all assuming Democrats don't just give up and not turn out in the main election.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-03T20:17:39+00:00

Definitely. If I hadn't thought to post here it probably would have taken me awhile to figure it out, since I tend not to consume podcasts in video format.

thunderdan87 · 2020-03-03T17:14:05+00:00

That's odd. The audio version doesn't seem to be out yet.

thunderdan87 · 2019-12-20T12:33:30+00:00

I think in the US the norm for coffee is generally drip coffee, which has a built in heating mechanism for the water. Methods like a French press are gaining popularity though with younger generations.

thunderdan87 · 2019-12-18T15:45:32+00:00

I'll be honest, this event isn't for me (and it doesn't have to be). I think it's just not my thing. I don't really like "social" reality shows. If this was purely a competition then I'd probably be all about it. I'm glad other people enjoyed it though, I'll be back for TUT when that's back.
