  Aw man, i saw 32gb DDR4 for 50€ a few months ago. Now its at 90€.

  Good thing is that i just dont need more ram right now.

  As a longtime and somewhat dedicated but casual viewer i wasnt even awere of that fact.

  But i still think getting onsite acccess to devs comes with compromises. Which still is legit. But i(!) still feel it comes with some constraints. Otherwise we would see nothing tbh IMHO.

  My biggest gripe with noclip is that their documentaries feel just a tad too corporate. Like i'm(!) personally(!) convinced some money was exchanged between the dev/publisher to make these docs happen. (allegedly, no proof, vibes)

  BUT(!!) idk how else you would get that close access to the stories they like to tell. Also they're really fucking good at telling and surfacing stories in these tight constraints tbh. If you're not a particular fan of topic they cover it can feel sometimes a bit 'shilly'. But if you are in some capacity fan they always give you some really cool insights into the development of 'your' game. Danny O'Dwyer is a fucking magician in that regard. I never feel cheated besides the thoughts in my first sentences in my post.

  Might be a otherwise well made video. But that intro instantly tingled my spidey senses?

  Two spy satelites built in the 90s which gathered dust for 20 years and got handed down to NASA were more advanced then the hubble space telescope?

  Yeah, but funding and work started on hubble in 70s and it launched in 1990. With that in mind its a lot less 'amazing'. Also i dont know what more advanced means in this case? Whats the qualifiers or the metrics? Like a space telescope which gathers light for days and weeks to get a picture is built to different specs than a spy satelite which has to take pictures in fractions of a second to get a clean picture.

  Also the 'interesting feature' of having a short focal length isnt that interesting? They're spy satelites, what else are they supposed to focus on? The secret nazi base on the dark side of the moon?

  Either he is just sloppy with his analogy for what is to come in the video or he deliberatly insults my intelligence to paint a picture which eases me in for his following takes. In both cases it doesnt give me any confidence to invest 2 hours of my life.
