I guess I can see that, but I never said that it is cleaner. It’s the same for me. It’s not dirtier. It’s not cleaner. It’s only faster. Eating the banana sideways might look weird to other people, but there is literally no advantage for me to eat it normally.

When someone tells you that they finished a book in a really short time, the first thing you think is probably that the book is really good and they had to like it. You probably don’t think, “oh, that’s not really reading. You technically just skimmed through it, you don’t know what you even read.”

Some people read faster. Some people listen faster. It shouldn’t be that surprising.

I don’t know what to tell you. It looks like to me that you seem to think that somehow I am wasting my enjoyment of the media. Or that my consumption of the media isn’t the right one or fulfilling or something like that.

As I said before, I can understand everything. Why should I listen to or watch something in normal speed? It’s just a waste of time in my case.

When somebody can hit a target that is 300 meters away, why would you tell them to shoot at the target that is only 100 meters away? What’s the point in that for them?

I don’t know if that is a good analogy, but I don’t know how else to explain this.

When I am cooking, cleaning, etc, I listen to audiobooks. Not at those same speeds as YouTube videos. Between 1.25x and 1.8x, depends on a narrator again.

I thought that was obvious. Time.

You would not believe how much time I have saved over the years by doing this. When I can finish 30m video in less than 10 minutes.

I don’t know about you, but when I come home from work, I don’t have a whole evening to just watch yt videos.

This way I can finish the videos I wanted to watch a lot sooner and then I can go and do something else.

Gradualism

At first I watched every YouTube video on 1.5x for like 6 months.

Then I watched everything on 1.8X for another 6 months. Then 2.2x and so on.

Now I watch everything between 2.8x and 3.6x, Depends on the talking speed of the person in the video. I can understand everything.

Of course I watch some videos in normal 1x speed but those are usually just like artistic videos or movie trailers and stuff like that. If there is just a person talking to the camera, there is no reason for me to watch it in normal speed.

Still can’t set the video speed above 2.25x? Otherwise it’s useless to me.

Kadokawa owns 60% of FromSoftware

Sony will own 10% of Kadakawa.

It could be a lot worse. Hopefully, this means there will be no PSN shenanigans.

I don’t know about the game, but the book is good.

The devs are working on the game and recently they released a book from the game’s world.

I really thought it would be shit, but then I saw that it was written by a known scifi author, so I thought it would be at least readable. I was pleasantly surprised and the book is actually really good.

The book in question is:

Exodus: The Archimedes Engine by Peter F. Hamilton

Goodreads

No, I just want to shake hands with this guy.

I am not from the US. How many jurors are there in the trial? And don’t they have to all agree? There would definitely be at least one bootlicker or paid off person.

Rockstar next?

Yep, Muskrat is playing Frostpunk and completely ignores anything that doesn’t make him money.

Edit: Actually, not a very good comparison. Because in Frostpunk, you are actively fighting for your survival. Elon probably doesn’t even know what that means.

I tried to get into terraria so many times, but this 2d perspective is just not doing it for me. For the same reasons, I don’t play metroidvanias and platformers. There are some platformer that I like, Gris, for example, but that’s not exactly the same. I have no problems with Core keeper or Stardew valley, so the genre is not the problem. I need to reconcile with it and accept that some games are just not for me.

I would even go lower than that. If you showed me Prey 2017 or even Alien Isolation 2014, and told me they came out today. I would probably believe you.

When are we finally moving to a percentage based fines?

Thx for explanation. I guess his love was so strong, she literally ran away from him.

I use Steam Chat for playing games with family and friends. It has better audio quality than discord in my opinion, and you can make groups (something like Discord servers) too. It doesn’t have all the functionality of servers, but the basic idea is there.

I am actually surprised nobody mentioned it yet Why use some third party application, when you can use the Steam’s one.

It’s not like the OP is concerned about privacy. They were using discord. They didn’t say it has to be open source.

For talking outside of gaming or away from PC, I use signal.

What’s the context? Why was that cultist jumping on the couch?

Whenever Disney is involved in something, you can be 40% sure that it will be shit from the start, or 99% sure it will be shit in a long run.

I want to play them. Sony PC ports are objectively good games. Maybe you subjectively don’t like some but you are a minority.

They lost sales from me. Given time, I would probably buy all of them. I usually always buy games. I have 800 games on Steam.
