  I think it must not be a thing for everyone cause I’ve never related to the post clarity thing either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happened to look up "ghoul" on Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think in the us it is dramatically larger for iOS. Last time I checked I think it was 75% share?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish more games did better sign posting too. I’m not a fan of following the dotted line, but I see too many games where there’s no other way to do it. The NPC tells you to go somewhere, and doesn’t actually give you directions.

  I thought the same thing. I would honestly argue that metroidvanias were open worlds before we had that term. There are some that are more linear than others, but many of them are very exploration heavy and don’t have a single order you must do things in.

  If you can’t trust someone called goonswarm games, who can you trust? 😔

  I don’t remember what it’s called but I’m pretty sure there is one I saw once and it was kind of terrifying looking.

  So let me get this straight… They’re also still burning money on Concord through legal costs? Just walk away guys.

  My wife and I like to joke that vegetables aren’t real and all of them are just something else in reality.

  Thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this for the PC only version too? I can’t tell through all the marketing speak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Different industry, but in my graphic design business I’ve had a couple small jobs fixing/finishing logos people tried to make with AI. Sounds like you’re getting a lot more, but I’ve been seeing this too.

  I played it a while after release though.

  I’m apparently the only person who really enjoyed 3 all the way through.

  Tbh I don’t think you should let insanity deter you from the podcast plan. That hasn’t stopped lots of other people, so why should it stop you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There's a plethora of valid ways to compare apples and oranges⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always taken it to imply that at a certain number of differences, the comparison isn’t useful anymore, not that there are no avenues of comparison at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If CEOs think they can replace everyone with AI, why do they think Wall St. will need CEOs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m of the same opinion that AI won’t be able to adequately replace many jobs, but only in the long term. In the short term I think it’s going to be a bit of a bloodbath with a lot of companies drinking the kool aid until they realize it’s not working.

  Ah got it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do gameplay youtuber develop interesting commentary?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, that kind of RP stream? 😅 I was thinking of something else lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do gameplay youtuber develop interesting commentary?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! I think you’re right that there could definitely be more granularity to what I said. I was trying to go as broad as I could, which of course leaves out a lot of detail. Good thoughts about other possible categories. I don’t disagree with any of it.

  I actually haven’t ever seen the roleplayer category you’re talking about, but I’m intrigued. Is there anyone you’d recommend?

  If I had to give a name to the joke streamers you mentioned, I’d probably go with challenge streamers. I think that definitely falls outside of the categories I said, but I also see a lot of streamers that do fall into the three I made up dabbling with that kind of content here and there, so there’s probably some crossover too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do gameplay youtuber develop interesting commentary?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there are broadly speaking three main categories of let’s players: hypemen, analysts, and tryhards.

  Hypemen focus on being boisterous, high energy, and fast paced. They focus on entertainment value above all else, even above the game itself.

  Analysts take things a bit slower. They aren’t trying to be the best at the game, but instead like to play a variety of things and talk about their experience playing or insights related to the game.

  Tryhards are usually either pro gamers or very close to it. They usually play a smaller number of competitive games trying to be very skilled at them. The enjoyment of these streamers comes more from seeing someone excel, and potentially learning from them if you play the same game.

  My point with this is all of these routes are proven ways to engage an audience, so having interesting things to say isn’t a necessity.

  That being said, this is an entertainment medium we’re talking about. If you aren’t entertaining in some form then I don’t think you’ll find much success. It’s a learnable skill, so don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t come without practice
