That’s an option too, but I find book review websites, a lot more convenient.

StoryGraph or Hardcover. Don’t use Goodreads if you don’t have to.

After reading that article I can say that Linus is even bigger POS than I thought he was.

I blocked all their channels on YouTube after that too.

Why does Civ VI have In-App Purchases?

I wonder if they release it DRM free on Steam too.

“He doesn’t care about money, political influence, or bathing. Just games.”

Does he care about games? I used to watch him years ago, but then he turned into a misogynistic drama farmer and rage baiter who occasionally plays games.

Hopefully, we will not need a Ripley soon.

I can understand that.

Have you tried watching anime in English dub? Some anime have great dubbing. Recently “Delicious in Dungeon”. The dubbing is amazing. I would even say better than the original. At that point it is just fantasy TV show or cartoon.

Just open browser and go to Lichess. Best solution IMO.

Honestly, Valve should just ask for proof that you are 18+ if you want to sell items on Steam market or trade them.

Easiest solution IMO.

I’m so sad he didnt die when he was shot. He is 60 years old. He could stay in politics for another ±20 years, just look at trump and biden.

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.

I still can’t believe some countries in Europe are asking them to. If I read this in a book, I would think the author is stupid.

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
