    Do morons on the internet say disgusting things? Is water wet? But this “I’m just a poor Youtuber doing my best” routine while also running a company worth 100 million dollars doesn’t fly.

    This time he says “well yes our monoblock review was obviously wrong”, but when it was first pointed out to him he did everything he could to deny any wrongdoing. If it was so obvious then why try to weasel out of it? A few days ago he was still saying “No one could rationally disagree with the choices we made” And that’s forgetting their countless other reviews based on faulty, rushed data.

    And even now that he’s admitting it was “obviously wrong” he STILL doesn’t really take accountability he STILL tries to make it sound like a single, honest mistake anyone could have made. But his own team told him at the time and his response was “well yes we messed it up but do you really expect us to spend another 500 dollars to redo a review?” (That’s literally what he said, you can find it on Youtube)

    It just feels like corporate damage control at best and gaslighting the audience at worst.


  • Beyond redemption, no, but refusing to acknowledge any wrongdoing doesn’t paint a pretty picture for the future. In the days since I’ve heard “we couldn’t have done any better”, “yes we messed up but it wouldn’t have made any difference if the numbers were right”, “no one could expect us to spend 500 dollars to redo a messed up review”

    Not once did I hear a mea culpa or we’ll try harder to do better in the future. Not a good look.

    Idk I just keep everything fullscreen except small things like my password manager. Use virtual desktops to switch between major functionality. One for work, one for Slack, one for email.

    The only thing I split is my IDE to compare code.


  • Not that you’re wrong per-se but the dotcom bubble didn’t impact my life at all back in the day. It was on the news and that was it. I think this will be the same. A bunch of investors will lose their investments, maybe some adventurous pension plans will suffer a bit, but on the whole life will go on.

    The impact of AI itself will be much further reaching. We better force the companies that do survive to share the wealth otherwise we’re in for a tough time. But that won’t have anything to do with a bursting investment bubble.



  • Yeah it’s quite fun.

    The pros:

    • The setting is pretty and nicely developed.
    • Resource gathering is a bit simplistic but fun.
    • Nice relaxing game with cute graphics and plenty of small things to keep you busy

    Small gripes:

    • Grindy but it’s an MMO what do you expect?
    • The physics are a bit loose/floaty and movement a bit clunky, but of course that’s par for the course too.
    • Does everything (bow hunting, mining, crafting, farming) but nothing exceptionally well.
    • Building and decorating your house does not seem to have any function other than purely cosmetic, at least so far
