Anyone with Arc Raiders wanna help out with recording a video over the next week or so? I can pay you in appreciation and E-tier stardom.

A massive happy new year to all of those who are doing good things, spreading good energy, and striving to push yourself forward. Fuck the rest of you. The rest of y'all aint shit.

Show and tell being acceptable for kids, but not being part of adulthood is a cruel irony I'm still not over. I didn't have money for cool shit as a kid. As an adult, I've funded my hyper fixations and will proudly talk for hours about all the fancy production tech I've bought. It's not fair.

Is... Is this good, or bad...?

Not the hero Arc Raiders deserves... But the hero it needed.

The ARC Raiders PVP vs PVE debate has been put to rest. Might also be my new favorite video that I've ever made tbh youtu.be/Ia8at3rMvE4

Have you, or have you ever caused someone to, change their mind on something via an online exchange on any topic of note?

What am I getting into today?? The same thing I get into EVERY day...

The feeling of waking up to nails digging into my back, the humiliation of just being used like an object, the total disregard for what I want or what I enjoy... That's why I don't fuck with cats.

Room temperature take: If you consistently give in to the compulsion of generating a steady stream of 'hot takes', it just makes you kinda insufferable and annoying imo.

You know, I'm not normally a big fan of those "end of year" wrap up type of things, but... My YouTube one feels like it's basically just a pitch for the channel to be honest lol

2005: "The future is gonna be crazy exciting!" 2025: "Take me back to 2005"

Some of y'all never had someone burn a CD overnight with songs they picked out specifically for you... and it shows.

When you spawn in late in Arc Raiders: "Something happened here... "

I've met a fair few celebrities from back in my time doing music, and nothing will ever beat a rapper getting super wasted before his set at a music festival, stealing one of the security golf carts, and then running over 3 people with it... Inside their own tent. Good weekend otherwise though...

It *seems* like a weirdly unpopular opinion, but, in-game cosmetics are easily the LEAST predatory form of monetization a game can have. If an in-game store offers something with no impact on gameplay and only offers aesthetic personalization, it cannot by its nature be predatory. It's optional.

If Obama were somehow able to run in 2028, and got elected... He'd be the youngest elected president since... Obama... in 2012. If there's a better bullet point to explain the problems we're having right now, I don't know what it is.

What is it about Thanksgiving that turns normal, rational, reasonable human beings into people who think you should eat dinner at 3:30 in the afternoon?

This meme should be Time's Person of the Year

Things I've accidentally eaten because I was hungry, not paying attention, and they tasted good: - A whole box (8) of Fiber One brownies - 13 Melatonin fruit gummies - 4 dragon fruit CBD strips

Some people just need someone to bully so they hop on to the latest “this person is shitty” train for something to talk about without actually giving a fuck. Then turn around and spew how important kindness and mental health are. Idk, not a fan.

The biggest thing that confuses me about conspiracy theorists is that there are like... HUNDREDS... of legitimate and verifiable instances of the government being shady af to be pissed about. Why on [the spherical] earth would you devote time to researching ones so easily proven false?

Bluesky isn't as good as old Twitter used to be... But Twitter is now as bad as 4chan is... And I feel like that discrepancy explains why a lot of folks are feeling either overwhelmed or disconnected.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: Spending hours gaming is better for your mental health than hours of doom scrolling through social media. Games give you critical thinking, strategy, stories, goals and actual dopamine, as opposed to anxiety.

"CREATORS OFTEN COMPLAIN ABOUT LACK OF GROWTH AND SUPPORT WITHOUT REALIZING THEIR CREATIONS ARE A PRODUCT FOR CONSUMERS, AND INSTEAD OF REFINING THEIR OUTPUT TO IMPROVE THEIR PRODUCT, THEY CONVEY THEIR STRUGGLES TO A SMALL BUT STABLE BASE OF SUPPORTERS AND WONDER WHY THEY'RE NOT GROWING BEYOND IT."

Someone take me baaaaaaack

If Embark Studios adds theater tools and demo files similar to Rust in Arc Raiders, I'm quitting all other hobbies and just making movies for the rest of my days. Do it cowards. I don't need the sleep.

This is a story I knew nothing about before I started, and absolutely loved when it was done. Do me a favor and give this one a watch, and share it around if you enjoy it. youtu.be/tLNk0ExpacE

If you really take a minute to stop and think about it more than anyone probably should, Mountain Dew is kind of a gross name for a drink.

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

"I hope this email finds you in poor health and beset on all sides by the consequences of your actions,"

The opposite of the annoying AI tech bro is the annoying anti-AI people that think it has absolutely no creative use and should be avoided at all costs or you're evil. I get it's being applied where it doesn't need to be, but assuming EVERY use is bad is just 'old man yells at cloud' energy.

I love that people are enjoying Arc Raiders, but I feel like no one is talking about the true dub here. In 2025, we got a game that released after 2 testing betas, extremely polished, no major server outages, no massive exploits, no predatory monetization. THAT... is what's most amazing about it.

Romance is still alive...

The amount of problems you experience that magically just... go away when you sleep a full 8 hours is CRAZY.

People who flip off the camera in all their photos aren't inherently bad people, they're just boring/uncreative people without a meaningful personality and probably aren't worth knowing.

If your DnD world had TV... would elven shows run for like... 300 years? Or have episodes that are 5 hours long? It's often overlooked, but media, culture, and entertainment probably have at least SOME corollary to lifespan, right?

He did fuckin WHAT???

I'm starting a gofundme to buy EA and then dissolve the company.

A modest proposal: We immediately stop calling people who are famous just for being famous 'celebrities' and instead start calling them "Shamous" or "Sellebrities" This system needs refinement, but I think finding a suitable alternative is important to our future as a society.

Making really great compelling content is almost ALWAYS easier than getting people to care enough to give it a chance. I offer this as both advice, and as the general lamentations of someone occasionally crying onto their keyboard at 3AM.

Making weird faces while you point up at other people's original content does NOT make you a content creator. I swear to GAWD Tiktok has lowered the bar just WAY too much lol

A bit of a longshot maybe, but do any of my followers have experience with MP game development? Working on something and I'd love to be able to ask someone with some real world experience some background questions? Anyone you know you could tag?? Help me out!

There is nothing discussed as often... while being so consistently misunderstood... As how the first amendment actually works. It is REALLY not that complicated, and I can't for the life of me figure out why nobody seems to be able to understand it.

It took me almost 2 full months of research, editing, and investigation to put this one together in a way that tells the full story... Take it in, spread it around a bit, and share your thoughts. youtu.be/7Xdh0xJ04EI

I'm officially a millionaire. It's been a long journey already... Looking forward to making it longer. Thank you to everyone who has already hopped on for the ride. 🥲

Legit want as MANY different people providing input as possible. All I need is to know your favorite 1 or 2 youtubers, but tell me WHY? What is it about them that just hits for you consistently? I want to check out some new creators outside my normal algorithm.

In my experience, there is no early warning red flag more consistent than seeing "RT ≠ endorsement" in someone's bio...

I'm still surprised when I see indie devs/designers find a way to fault creators for pursuing the widest market with the best algorithmic return on their efforts, and then also somehow consider it an evil when they don't immediately sacrifice that advantage without some other form of compensation.

The thing about love is that it's limitless. You can love everyone and everything and still have love left in your heart. Unfortunately, hate is the same. But hate will rot your soul and leave your heart hollow.
