And Toad is basically a walking butt-plug…

I can’t eat cops.

A bit too high fat for me. And the types that aren’t, are likely pumped with steroids.

I’ve reached the age where I have to think about who I eat.

Oh, my poor deformed friend…

A lot of people treat others horribly.

Maybe we’re all just shit.

If they took the first step and worked towards, or remained, independent and selfpublished, that would make it a bit easier.

But Bethesda, Obsidian, InXile and even Blizzard couldn’t sell their asses to Microsoft fast enough once the offer was on the table.

I get you want to support the Devs, but they kinda made their choice. They had independence, some quite successfully, but they sold it.

Maybe it’s time to look for new studios to support and help up to contest with the old buggers?

I feel like both can be true

It think that goes for any position of relative power. Be the change you want to see in others and all that.

Just trying to cover my bases so no one thinks it’s a legitimate opinion.

I feel like Deodorants and Perfumes for men aren’t as much of a choice as it is chosen for us. There’s like two main smells, “Old Sweat” and “Motor Oil”. Anything other than that is just variations of “Drain Cleaner Citrus”.

Like clothes for men, the selection feels so limited.

Yeees, let’s shit on people who spend money in their hobby and use their computer for more than just running overhyped games at medium settings.

I am so tired of these attempts at justification for “Console Elitism.”

Yes, you bought a cheap shit product because you don’t have the money or knowledge to build or operate a proper computer. Congratulations, you’re part of Sony/MS’s primary demographic.

As with most people.

For most of us, it’s too late for that.

And he’s talking about crops specifically grown for livestock. Of which there is quite a lot. Hell, even pets that aren’t considered live-stock outright, like Horses, consume tremendous amounts of feed that isn’t just by-products.

So it’s both cute AND efficient? What an amazing creature.

Most people do. But it’s not enough.

Even if all their users payed, it wouldn’t be enough.

I’ll make a wild assumption and say that the people that made the adblockers might also be using them.

Plus, it’s likely to evolve into a “less ads” deal eventually.

The one constant is that there’s never enough money to satisfy corporate needs.

I don’t think we should underestimate the savvy programmers out there, who are just as fed up with ads as the rest of us.

And at this point, most of the cousins who don’t know how to update their adblocker are already there. It’s a matter of time. YT won’t keep pouring money into this. Just long enough to the “balance the books.” When the ‘number of viewed ads’ start slowing down again and they’ve hit their max viewership, they’ll call off the hounds.

The question is ‘Do they want to keep throwing money at techs in the hope of forcing people to watch their ads?’

At best, people will keep finding ways to get around the ads and YT will have wasted a ton of money on nothing.

At worst, a bunch of people will abandon YT all together. And YT will have wasted a ton of money getting rid of them.

Both options seem self-defeating and wasteful.
