If im not mistaken, todays stream will be hytale stream

wheat sleet
#

You are mistaken, it's a Blockgame stream

boreal flower
#

yay blockgame dev! jake streamed some work on it recently, like in the last couple days, right?

#

guess he's done some stuff that thor wants to make use of? or maybe he's trying out that NPC editor Simon and the team released?

How is the 'Wait Time' on thor's stream overlay determined?

He pressed the button and takes the time since the playing TTS was submitted

Oh you mean like the laps on a stop watch I think? And it’s not really like that, it can go up and down, not one way. It only updates when a TTS plays and when it plays the time is set to show how long it’s been since the playing TTS was sent in.

#

So when the wait time says 2 seconds, the last TTS he listened to was played 2 seconds after it was sent in.

long totem
#

yeah, kinda like a stopwatch

#

one that is just always restarted upon being stopped, and doesnt show its final value until it's stopped

hmm

it's MULTIPLE stopwatches

So i checked through wikipedia, the difference between the US flag and the malaysian flag is 1 we replaced the 50 stars with a single 14-point star and a crescent and 2 we have an extra horizontal bar

Two extra huh

#

Because 14 states

Ah

The US only has 13 horizontal bars

earnest cove

We have 14 because 14 states yes

Same for the points on the star. It's 14

Look back at the message you quoted. I didn't edit it.

It was one of the monumental events that lighted an even bigger fire on this hate brigade so regardless of what you want to say about the origins, most people jumped on the hate brigade because a World of Warcraft farming run didn't go as planned is accurate.

Thor talking about getting COVID on stream reminded me of how I had the scariest coincidence of 2020. In January of that year, I got sick from a stomach bug and literally thought (after I learned about COVID) "what if I had COVID?". This was before I was mediated for my anxiety so I spent an afternoon looking up symptoms and having (what I think was) an anxiety attack. Then I slept for twelve hours.

Literally every time I went to check on him for like months I was like "hes going to be ☠️ this time for sure"

rapid scarab
#

thor is like an exotic plant

azure knoll
#

I had never seen somebody so sick in my life before that

#

Well okay that's a lie, I had but with like, cancer not mystery respiratory illness

wheat sleet
#

I'm pretty sure normal people don't turn blue from oxygen deprivation, but that's just my experience

azure knoll
#

No it was messed up

rapid scarab
#

yeah, I am on the crew of "covid took you to ER" but because athsma

azure knoll
#

I'm lucky I didn't end up in the ER first time I got it

#

Bc asthma

#

But thankfully (?) I just got the "all of the muscles in my body are melting and I am in horrific constant pain" covid

winter sierra
#

ive only been to the ER for an emergency one (ive gone a lot for 4am blood draws). i was 6 and i stuck 3 almonds alll the way up my nose

azure knoll
#

Stupid ass

rapid scarab
#

well thats relatively nice, I got there because at 3am just stopped breathing

azure knoll
#

I would put almonds in my nose too tho tbh

winter sierra
#

my mom was so pissed

azure knoll
#

My mom would have whooped me for that

winter sierra
#

i was a kid who put everything in my nose and mouth

rapid scarab
#

they gave me oxigen and they where like "is just covid you have to endure it 🤷‍♀️ "

winter sierra
#

i wasnt allowed magnets untill i was like ten yarrLUL

azure knoll
rapid scarab
#

tbf when I got it there were not vaccines or medication yet so ER doctors were swinging it

azure knoll
#

I did that to myself in 2017 because I'm stubborn and downplayed a respiratory infection until my Oxygen sat was in the shitter

#

That's how I got asthma

winter sierra
#

covid had me just bedridden but i got lucky because i only got 1 forever symptom after getting it 3 times

azure knoll
#

I don't know if I have any forever symptoms because I can't differentiate how much of my brain fog is brain damage vs ADHD vs COVID vs some secret fourth thing

rapid scarab
#

my country got me in preference for vaccines because asthma and diabetic so only got it that one time

winter sierra
#

i just lost most of mah smell

#

its still there a little

azure knoll
#

You didn't need it

#

It's fine

winter sierra
#

yea

rapid scarab
#

usually now I just got covid one and flu one in the same day and then die for 24h

toxic jacinth
#

Who is Thor speaking with? Thanks in advance

rapid scarab
#

and then I am fine

better then losing any of the other senses

#

covid vaccine i had legit 0 side effects it make me happy

proud lily
#

I got the 2nd Covid vaccine at the end of 2021, and that lead to something so bad I had a full nervous breakdown, lost 50kg over the next 2 months, and wasn't right for a year.
Honestly never been right since.

#

Like that mentally scarred me permanently. I have severe PTSD from it.

rapid scarab
#

in my case both give me like 24h that are like, I got very sleepy

#

and then next day I am fine

winter sierra
#

my mom on the other hand, has not recovered from it. she had a whole horrid reacion that made her start getting really bad migranes, which havent stopped 😔

rapid scarab
#

well vaccines work because its the actual thing but dead/almost dead

#

and they just make the sickness less bad if you get it

winter sierra
#

some of the covid are mRNA which is different

#

idk which ones but they are way better afaik (at safety)

#

its just the code for one spike protien

rapid scarab
#

ah nice ^^

#

I think its the pfizer one

winter sierra
#

yeah. its a really good innovation. biggest issue is they need very cold storage (like, -80 f)

proud lily
#

Also terrible time to introduce the product.

#

Tensions around vaccinations were historically never that high, as the time they decided to bring out the first mRNA vaccine ever.

winter sierra
#

ok but. it is actually an amazing scientific develoment.

proud lily
#

Oh absolutely

#

Just unfortunate.

winter sierra
#

unfortuantly covid did come with the vaccine suspicion rise >_>

wheat sleet
proud lily
#

The fact they very publicly got an "accelerated process" through medication certification also didnt help with the trust of an already crazed people

winter sierra
#

yeah they did for the first one. but like it was pretty nessasary and i bet saved a lot of lives :) (of course, people who hate vaccines dont care about that -_-)

wheat sleet
#

There was also a global pandemic which didn't help. You could have had 100% safe effective vaccines and people would still freak out

proud lily
#

Also, at least here, you didnt get a choice of vaccine.
It was get vaccinated with the vaccine the state assigns to you and thats that.

#

And at some places, you didnt find out which vaccination you'd get until you turned up at the vaccination station

#

Which again, didnt help.

winter sierra
#

i remember people hated the other one that wasnt pfizer at first because it gave some side effects or smth

worthy ivy
wheat sleet
#

Another "didn't help" was you had to sign a waver to get the vaccine here that waved rights against any potential side effects. Imagine telling someone "If this kills you, I'm sorry".

winter sierra
#

yeah. it wasnt handled the best but tbh they wernt aiming for holding the hand of people who hated vaccines. however i wish there was more about conviceing/educating those who were skeptical but not fully agaisnt

worthy ivy
#

"didn't help" is the understatement of the year right there

it was probably the worst thing anyone who was trying to instill confidence in the technology could have done

"don't worry it's safe, but you can't sue if it's not, but don't worry.... just no sue for you" doesn't instill any confidence in the average person KEKW

#

ngl the whole thing was a master class in how not to deal with a pandemic

winter sierra
#

its like. they knew that people were gonna get the vaccine if they were smart no matter what yarrLUL

azure knoll
#

Its unfortunate it caused a cascade of lasting effects on distrust in modern medicine

proud lily
#

On both the politics and the people side tbh.

winter sierra
#

no politcs tho pls

wheat sleet
azure knoll
#

Science isn't politics tbf

winter sierra
#

not to you the one above

azure knoll
#

O I'm stupid

proud lily
#

The amount of lockdown evaders was just absolutely insane.
Me, I was in lockdown 2 months before they forced it in my country.
And like the second the lockdown was in effect, the national student chat I was in was full of nothing but "this is how you evade lockdown" and "I evaded lockdown today, join the cause" etc.

#

Insane

winter sierra
#

i love science innovations and medicine stuff so its hard for me to understand being afraid.. i get it feels "intrusive" but im like yeahhh fill me with the healthy juice

#

sorry thats phrased so bad 😭

azure knoll
#

I think its okay to be skeptical because of the capitalist aspect to a degree

worthy ivy
#

fill me with the healthy juice KEKW

azure knoll
#

I believe in universal accessible healthcare and I don't like monopolies on people's lives

rapid scarab
#

I am an inside plant anyways

winter sierra
azure knoll
#

But at the same time I think you need to have faith in treatments / cures / etc that have been researched so heavily (speaking outside of COVID fwiw)

winter sierra

so related to john greens cool book (ofc i would like it im a huge nerd yarrNerd )

ToadPHD

#

he streams on kick

heavy anchor
#

Huh, interesting

#

What kicked (heh) the convo off?

rapid scarab
#

twitch unbaning a guy that showed CP links on stream. And also kick seems to have new management and they are trying to move out of the gambling money

river cargo
#

he's really insightful

#

I hope this vod doesn't get deleted or he makes the entire interview a youtube pant because there's alot of great info about streaming in there

rapid scarab
#

like kick is still ew, but now twitch is getting worse

heavy anchor
#

Yeah, I've only just been listening and it's really enlightening to hear something in another pond of the internet

rapid scarab

and now kick is more serious about moderation, and tryin to find ways to make money by themselves

heavy anchor
rapid scarab
#

yep

#

CP and also bestiality

#

he was just banned a month

heavy anchor
#

Christ almighty

rapid scarab

and kick said to thor that they will never unban him

Did they ban thor because of what he said about the platform?

rapid scarab

no?

read the message again xD

Okay, now we're on the same page lmao

#

auto mod is more strict too on kick now

#

but still depend heavily on promoting gambling

#

but on the other hand twitch now has a crypto category so 🤷‍♀️

heavy anchor
#

Definitely seems like they're making an effort to move away from it, albeit really, really slowly

rapid scarab
#

they cant cut directly, streamers get 95% of the sub money

worthy ivy
heavy anchor
#

For clarity, I meant kick moving away from gambling

rapid scarab
#

made my account today

worthy ivy
#

I got to plan a youtube mix in advance so as not to trip over copyright

youtube doesn't respect the DJ's definitionally implied license to play records

but rumble is lower traffic - by a long way, so easier to work with, but vastly reduced reach

if kick goes the same way as rumble for copyright it might become the place to be for DJs

streaming sux for DJs in 2026

wheat sleet
#

Every DJ I used to know was from weddings. They get paid quite a lot, but booking work is a nightmare.

worthy ivy
#

I got some flashing lights and that

wheat sleet
#

Weddings are just a fantastic excuse to have the biggest, most expensive party of your life. There are all types.

rapid scarab
#

he is going to make a video out of today stream

distant quiver
#

I came in towards the end of the conversation. Is Thor considering streaming on Kick as well?

wicked schooner
wheat sleet
#

Kick currently has an unsustainable business model, but they are improving

proud lily
wheat sleet
#

Twitch could be sustainable if they cleaned house. They have the revenue, but expenses are though the roof because the backend needs a serious refactor.

#

Also management continues to make questionable decisions.

distant quiver
#

Agreed, improvement is always good, even if its just small steps. I have a feeling they have a long road ahead in cleaning their image

wheat sleet
#

I don't think so. People gravitate towards creators rather than platforms, so if your favorite creators move to Kick, you move too, even if the platform is sub-par.

#

I guess that's why these parasitic agencies continue to exist, ie, NijiEN

rapid scarab
#

honestly I dont think kick is way better, but twitch is so bad this days that seems better in comparison

Still annoyed that they never released a PC version of CTR:NF, to be honest. Was bad enough that they took a year between the console and PC releases of all the other Crash (and Spyro) remakes...

I don't know, maybe I just grew up at a different time but I always thought exclusive games where a console's biggest strengths so when XBOX and PS decided to go away from exclusives, I thought it really weakened their position

wheat sleet
#

That might have been because gamea used to be physical media. Now they're all digital so the objective is to lock you into a storefront, not sell you a game for your machine.

exotic forge
#

I don't think Xbox or PS was able to lock people to a storefront though.... unless you count gamepass but that seems to be an endeavor that wasn't profitable

#

And if every storefront had the same games, then what's the advantage of either one

wheat sleet
#

Owning the console

#

If you can play all the games you want on your conaole, no reason to get the other one

If most games are available on PC, xbox and PS, then what advantage would either have?

None of them really do, they just have different storefronts now. Like you could own an iphone or an android and techncally they're different but perform the exact same function with a different storefront

#

So wouldn't exclusive games be a huge advantage? If God of War can only be played on Playstation, then it would give a reason to buy a PS over and xbox or re-using your PC. Similar to why Nintendo is able to get away with so much.

steel reef
#

Of course, since maybe the original xbox, a lot of consoles are basically more locked-down PC hardware than not.

wheat sleet
#

An exlusive title doesn't increase sales, it decreases it. You're targeting your own platform, but exluding the other three (pc, xbox, ps, nintendo). In a time where flagship franchises make or break profitability of an entire company, that matters

exotic forge
#

I'm talking about console sales, not title sales. An exclusive title will definitely increase a console's sales

wheat sleet
#

Consoles sales are not profitable. It's essentially a loss leader

exotic forge
#

I think that's not the case anymore. That topic's been brought up before here and there was some discussion about

wheat sleet
#

Well if they plan to continue jacking up the price year after year it might be different

exotic forge
#

And even if the actual playstation console itself is a loss leader, having someone go into the playstation ecosystem either to sign up for PS plus or buy accessories etc can't be discounted

#

And exclusives are probably one of the biggest factors to shift a consumer to your console if not the biggest

wheat sleet
#

Executive decisions recently have been the worst possible thing. Xbox is going AI, Sony is anti-consumer, and Nintendo is suing everyone. The GabeCube will save us all if the RAM shortage ever breaks

carmine sierra
wintry pond
#

when most of your games are bad and they are exclusives thats the problem

#

look at nintendo

#

they do have a lot of exclusives, but they are fince, since their games are good for the people they target

#

buy this console, it will have all these exclusives on it. but if only 1 of those are good and worth playing, then its not worth it

#

and after its no longer exclusive, people will just wait for 80-90% sale, since its an old game, they can wait more or they dont even care anymore

brazen drift
#

Chiming in to say exclusives are only profitable if it meets conditions; a) it being GOOD/ from a good IP. b) affordability of the game itself. c) affordability of the console. d) good consumer standing

#

Nintendo is kind of an outlier but every game they put out Is good, isn't broken, and their consoles (used to be) affordable. plus the IPs are incredibly beloved by literally every single person

#

Good chances are that gam gam and pepaw know and love mario more than they like KRATOS, THE GOD OF WAR

# exotic forge So wouldn't exclusive games be a huge advantage? If God of War can only be playe...

never got this logic at all

I had an xbox and a PC back in the day and no amount of exclusives were ever going to get me to buy a playstation too

it's the stupid logic that keeps them locking shows behind particular streaming subscriptions - the idea is that the consumer will be so FOMO they'll rush out and buy the new thing... always forgetting people have limited money and can't subscribe to every service or have every machine...

so they're not getting any of my money atm... and there's loads of people like me who are just "okay sony well I guess I won't play your games" not "oh let me rush out and buy a PS5 for your exclusive GaaS slop titles"

#

(they're probably not too GaaS'y? but I wouldn't know - I got me a PC KEKW )

steel reef
#

And if you really, really want a game that's console-exclusive on your PC, and it's not something like a PS1/PS2 game where you can just pop the game disc into your optical drive and load it up in an emulator, then go looking for a PC game that's basically the console game with the serial numbers filed off. (Some games like that have actually become rather popular, IIRC...)

#

a new video appeared about... kick?

#

"cleaned up in the last 6 months" huh interesting

#

Kick now has a stricter moderation on Twitch that's crazy

brazen drift
#

i wonder what changed for them

earnest cove
#

i don't know what caused them to pivot away from being wild west edgelord

#

i thought that was their brand so to speak

#

2 hour interview with another person who's on kick

#

i'll check out the full thing later. just the first 10 minutes hearing this is already 🤨

#

a plot twist i didn't expect

limpid cloak
#

They want to attract advertisers, so they implementing strict moderation and slowly turning away from gambling promotion

#

Who knows if it will be done fully, but it's happening

dusky grove
#

I mean... Are we really surprised?

brazen drift
#

I think they found out that if you want monetization, you gotta cave to the adverlords. Though I'm sure they'll be just as Selective about their moderation like twitch is

dusky grove
#

Kick's original audience rn ^

brazen drift
#

lmao

blissful imp
# dusky grove Kick's original audience rn ^

they haven't added the Ads yet.

Also ads can still be a thing without making their users mad. look at youtube. Ad blockers baby. just add in ads that can easily be blocked by ad blockers.

dusky grove
#

But i am a little sad. As much as i dislike the culture of kick and stuff, it is kinda sad that economics is driving competitors to essentially doing the same things with a different font

blissful imp
#

it'll be fun to see how kick implements ads on their platform

earnest cove
#

I thought Kick was going to be fuelled by gambling money forever honestly

#

because, gambling. it's infinity money cheat

brazen drift
#

It's like getting a liver transplant. Gotta prove that you havent touched alcohol for X amount of months before you can get the liver. Except in this case, the liver is Ads

dusky grove
#

Right?

brazen drift
#

Like it has had a MISERABLE rap, anyone who talks about Kick knows how bad of a place it was. Advertisers are stupid but not that stupid

earnest cove
#

I dunno. Just that gambling as ads in itself is infinite money cheat

#

They might also be taking advantage of Twitch semi-approving viewbots which is a nightmare for ads

brazen drift
#

so if they're cleaning things up, it either means that the infinite money cheat via gambling isnt working (aka people are running out of money), or something else happened that really woke them up.

earnest cove
#

Oooooooh okay i reached the part where they said 'you can't get paid to do gambling anymore' that's why it got quashed

blissful imp
earnest cove
#

is there some kind of legality change?

#

people who do gambling content are not allowed to be paid their hourly rates anymore

dusky grove
#

Well. Another step toward a homogenous internet... How... Sad.

earnest cove
#

i missed certain parts (needs to relisten) but something banned the infnite money cheat code

rapid scarab

I mean, yeah. PR is everything for a creator fueled platform. If you lose the people making the content then you're outa luck

blissful imp

#

Remember mixer

earnest cove
#

i'm personally more surprised that the gambling failed

brazen drift
#

I'm not

#

Gambling only works when people have money

blissful imp
# dusky grove Remember mixer

i do. Died because of lack of advertisements and not making money. When they did get ads everyone on the platform was basically a human view bot due to everyone farming points on there.

dusky grove
#

I find it funny how casinos and clubs and such are the first people to know if a big change is happening in the economy.

brazen drift
#

but the current climate of Literally Everything is two fold: too many different gambling games/betting places out there so people gotta pick and choose what to gamble on (most people is just buying currency for cosmetic lootboxes and character drops, which i maintain Is at least a form of gambling), and people having absolutely no money/restricting spending

dusky grove
#

Cuz those places operate on people's expendables. In contrast to food or tramsport which are necessities

earnest cove

the crazy part of course is on kick atm due to how their monetization works atm, you make way more money then with Ad revenue on twitch. i believe thor did the math and its like 6x on kick

it is a very good moment for a twitch competitor to get ahead

just by doing basic things correctly

It'll be like. people who were on kick since yknow. its inception will maybe make that, and then anyone joining after Jan 1st 2026 gets way less

#

at a certain point

blissful imp
rapid scarab
#

I know

#

I was on that stream xD

earnest cove
#

this comment is hilarious who made this

blissful imp
#

Also kick actually perma bans known streamers for doing awful things. like the lacari situation and how Twitch unbanned him but kick perma banned him.

earnest cove
#

Kick becoming a better platform than Twitch is not on my bingo card.

brazen drift
#

I wonder if its an ownership thing right? like Casino's usually know how to run businesses since their ENTIRE purpose is large money transfers consistently and (for them, hopefully) indefinitely. But Amazon is a large but normal business that wants to make as much profit as possible with as little expenditure as possible.

#

so if Kicks Owners know how to run casinos, theres gotta be at least someone who looked Kick's CEO or whoever and went "bro straighten up"

earnest cove
#

makes sense if they did prioritise real business

rapid scarab
#

for what thor said, I got the vibe they got new management people (even tho still under stake owned by the same people)

Another part was to show to the devs how they balance the "Meta" builds" is actually pretty terrible balancing. The problem with the highest difficulty of HD2 is that for a chance of succeeding a lot of the time you do need to play a "Meta" build, but the Developers don't want any particular strategy to be "Meta", so then they nerf the stratagems/weapons that made the highest difficulty more possible to do in the first place.

A group of people that think that Arrowhead can do no wrong got their diapers in a twist over the charity challenge and decided that death threats, doxxing, and which now been supposedly revealing getting him fired from his job, removed from his voluntary work at the horse sanctuary, and putting him on a list was a "good way" of Defending Arrowhead and Helldivers 2```

And the big reason why this challenge was issued in the first place is because a lot of the time any criticism (regardless if it has good intentions and communicated politely) is removed by some of the mods of the Helldivers 2 Subreddit, so the dude made the Challenge to be something a bit more....bombastic and not just a post on the Main Subreddit (since it would likely get removed)

even in the mainstream
even IRL KEKWait
I suspect it's MK-Often at play
they shitcanned Monarch before they declassified it in 2024 (can just look it up in the national security archives)
I don't believe they didn't carry on screwing with people's brains through the internet
so when MK-Often came on my radar I took note
shit's diabolical

Whats mk often

worthy ivy
# dusky grove Whats mk often

MK-Ultra was mind-control through torture and hypnosis (waaaay back, 60s 70s stuff) all the freaky acid shit they did too

MK-Monarch came after, same idea but using generational trauma (all the crap the aristocracy do to their kids to make them sufficiently sociopathic to succeed in the family business, whatever that is) but repurposed to control how large populations react to important events

MK-Often is the current operation to take societal control through social media manipulation and ephemeral content - "the feed" as I call it (I assume the AI stuff is folded into this, but there's very little info, it's all still classified... but them boys have track record, so I take note of what I'm hearing about it)

#

ultra and monarch have been declassifed

#

you can just go look that shit up

#

like I said

#

diabolical

wicked schooner
#

I already know what mk ultra is but the moment you said monarch i thought the vtuber monarch and i went huh?!?!

iirc starfish split off long before the protofish we came from

#

but long-term storage is fuzzy

#

I went down there for a manual retrieval once when I was slightly out of my box and it's a mess down there

#

these days I fire a query down there and it comes back up at some point later

think Abel in that episode of Red Dwarf where Kryten finds his brother

I can't imagine Remote viewing or any type of psychic ability being anything other than a bunch of baloney. Maybe they tried it sure, but I don't believe that it actually got any results, just a bunch of hooey and wasted time and money

Especially since there's been a $100K reward going for anyone who can prove their powers since 1980, and yet has not been claimed, not through lack of trying. Infact when most of the applicants are told they will have to undergo testing, 90% of them back out, and the ones that don't fail the pre-trials testing KEKW

#

And looking into it, there's been 39 other such bounties that, wouldn't you know it, have also gone unclaimed

I'm seeing Thor has been only streaming for ~3 hours. Was there a problem or late start?

Memory acting up

Okay. Was a quick fix then. Cuz I didn't lose my streak.

For now thor underclocked his RAM cause it was causing problems at the standard speed

So the only difference between watching movies and playing video games button pushing. Why does this difference make for such a different experience?

solemn echo
#

Games are interactive and movies are not

indigo wadi
#

Well yes, as indicated by the button pushing. What beyond that makes a difference?

worthy ivy
#

this is the difference
your confusion comes from conflating pushing the buttons with interactivity
you get those big long cinematics where you have to push a button occasionally? they're no different to a movie
but when there is more than one button to push, the choice of which button to push becomes the difference

#

also

indigo wadi
#

I'm looking for deeper reasoning beyond the obvious

indigo wadi
carmine sierra
#

Sometimes the obvious is the reason

worthy ivy
#

a film is a game of clock patience
a game is a game of chess

#

the outcome of the film is predetermined

#

the outcome of the game isn't

indigo wadi
#

But we don't know the outcome of either until we've experienced it

#

and even in games, the outcome is predetermined since it's a story being told

#

(multiple endings not withstanding)

worthy ivy
#

not all games
maybe modern AAA "it's a movie but we're pretending it's a game" games
but a vast majority of games aren't plot-centric~
to ask why is a movie different to a game when all you do is push buttons in a game is like asking why riding a rollercoaster and driving a car is different when all you do in the car is turn the wheel

earnest cove
#

Myke I'm not sure if you're playing devil's advocate or being really.... Particular so to speak

indigo wadi
#

I'm being particular

worthy ivy
#

it's the wrong question to ask if you seek elucidation

indigo wadi
worthy ivy
#

the choice of which buttons to push

#

which path to take

#

do you use the pipe?

earnest cove
#

Particular as in "this is borderline pedantic not sure if sane to engage"

worthy ivy
#

do you dodge or kill the enemies?

#

none of that choice exists in a movie

#

the choice is the difference
not the pushing of the buttons

worthy ivy
#

😆

indigo wadi
#

I asked in another server and illusion of choice was given as an answer

worthy ivy
#

yeah, but in a properly interactive game, the choice isn't an illusion

#

you have a real choice as to whether to engage one strategy or another

distant rapids
#

If choice brain activated, game. If watch brain activated, movie. If both activated, cutscene AND game TAI_NekoSmart

worthy ivy
#

you watching a film you can't tell batman to go the other way

indigo wadi
#

If the result is the same, is it really a choice though?

worthy ivy
#

but the result isn't the same?

#

sometimes you lose

#

sometimes there are alternative endings built in

#

sometimes the game never ends

distant rapids
#

Sometimes you lose the game.

indigo wadi
worthy ivy
#

you aren't even comparing apples and oranges
you are making a qualiatative assessment of a car and an orangutan and confusing yourself

I can fail to beat a game

Get it now

worthy ivy

"why is a game different to a movie when all you do is push buttons?" presupposes that pushing the buttons is what the game is... when that is just the mechanism by which people engage with the game

if you see what I mean?

carmine sierra
indigo wadi
indigo wadi

And the movie will continue playing

The overwhelming majority of games don't have a way to skip parts you can't beat on your own

worthy ivy
indigo wadi
#

But are you not interacting with that lift? 🙂

worthy ivy
#

yes

#

but it's not a game

carmine sierra
#

Yeah this is just being overly pedantic

worthy ivy
#

just because a game is interactive, doesn't mean all things that are interactive are games

indigo wadi
#

It was just a random question that popped in my head is all

worthy ivy
#

ik
I'm just being a goblin and pointing out there are more elucidating questions to ask KEKW

wispy dragon
#

Oooh, another square and rectangle problem?

worthy ivy
#

idk that one but I can guess what it is 😆

wispy dragon
#

All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.

indigo wadi

When I was thinking of the question, it was more of a simplistic version, like looking at a movie vs playing Super Mario Bros, or pong even

i went to bed at 5am cst

it counts once every 24 hours

yeah I was there for both streams but didn't get an extra streak so i think as long as people watched either, the streak is saved

Also minecraft youtuber dream just released his long awaited return to youtube, which I decided to watch on incognito to not interfere with my curated algo....and somehow a dramatuber covering thor is one of the top 5 trending videos on youtube right now..........

I only got the second half and it didn't even give me a streak saved notification so it probably just counted as one continuous stream

Thor "cheating" in a lets play.....WOKE

wheat sleet

The "drama" about Blue Prince is legitimately because Thor solved the puzzles faster than a normal pleb

He's a puzzle nerd, thats what they do

It isn't even blue prince it's animal well and outer wilds

There's nothing to disincentivise youtubers from platforming misinfo and hate when each drama video can get more views than markiplier

The only thing that could would be demonitization or a defamation lawsuit, but Thor is far too nice for that

# river cargo Who are these people watching regurgitated misleading drama a whole year on

<rant>

they have emerged from under their rock and gone "ooooh drama I didn't know about"
and they're not smart enough to see that it's about some stupid video-game shit from a year and a half ago and they're not smart enough to disengage

MK-Often in action - I'm sure of it
and nothing has changed my mind so far

it's top-down strategy-of-tension societal warfare by the establishment against the poors - turn man against man, brother against brother

I smell the stench of 77th Brigade all over it - keyboard warriors latching onto subculture online spaces and shitting all over the walls to divide people - it was when Thor spoke against SKG it really ramped up, and given I read the online psyops playbook, I can recognise the putrid stink of recycled COINTELPRO techniques from the saddest neckbeards in intelligence

Emulation is legal its piracy of code that isnt KEKWait

worthy ivy
#

yeah, emulation is generally legal as long as you own the hardware you are emulating
that way you're licensed to use any proprietary code in the chips on the machine that the emulator has to basically carbon-copy to make the emulator emulate

#

although iirc one of the megadrive emulators doesn't use the standard ROM and has it's own virtual "firmware"?
might be wrong - will query long-term storage

I feel like this applies to a lot of you

even when people are hating, the end result is peeps making things
Thor would approve

go forth and make custom drama-blocking extensions

I will never watch anything drama related it just feels so dumb?? Even if i hate the person who is getting hated on.

I am a better person now because of Thor. If it wasn't for him I would have continued to dog piling on irrelevant stuff. I don't think a single person lives in my brain rent-free anymore.
