I love that he brought Wilson with him.

I have a bit over 60 YouTubers I'm subscribed to on YouTube. Am I supposed to pay $60+ every month to have access to them? The cheapest patreon I've ever seen was for $1 and that wasn't even for full access just a "buy me coffee, thanks" tier.

What about discoverability, how am I supposed to randomly stumble across niche content creators that don't have a huge following?

Not saying it isn't possible I just can't seem to wrap my head around how it would work.

I keep seeing people throw this idea out there but I have yet to have received a reasonable answer to a simple question: How would content creators get paid on a federated video platform?

Music. I can play close to a dozen instruments with enough skill that I could sit in as a stand in player for a large variety of genres. I do everything in my power to avoid letting people around me know.

I make music as a way to meditate and relax. I can throw down a synthesizer drone and spend an hour+ noodling on the piano, guitar, cello etc without doing any recording or writing down stuff. I've got probably 100 or so short 4-12 bar ideas saved on my computer. I probably will never do anything with them but I like going back and rediscovering where I was musically/emotionally.

The dubstep phase was, in a word, terrible.

I've just started a re-read of the "Old Kingdom" series by Garth Nix for the Nth time. One of my all time favorites, Tim Curry as a narrator is phenomenal.

I'm stuck in a bit of a rut at the moment. One got a bunch of credits on Audible but most books I've tried i have not enjoyed and end up returning.

Any microphone or better yet audio interface with an "instrument in" jack will work with the game. I'd personally rather not rely on a single use type computerized cable from a game company that doesn't support the game anymore.

I love when people like the guy you responded to show up, it's so easy to block them on Lemmy.

Uhm... I just hit 80 hours. With only one campaign. I haven't left act 1 yet.

I drive for UPS and the pick me up I get from taking a quick cat nap in the back of the truck cannot be overstated.

It's a phrase some people use. Specifically prevalent in California. "Parking their Ass in the left lane" Means somebody driving in the left lane at 10mph below the speed limit.

I can't even begin to count how many times I have come acrossa slew of 5 star reviews for something COMPLETELY unrelated to the listed item at the very top of search results. Product: Wood Headphone Stand. Review: This kitchen whisk is so amazing, it saved my marriage, 23 out of 5 stars.

OH and don't forget the reviewer that when you access their profile you see that they have posted 76 reviews in a single day and every single one of them is 5 stars with the title "Great 'X'! " where x is the product title.

Don't get me wrong, I used Amazon back when it only sold books and I've been using Prime since it came out non-stop but the quality of the items, the search results, and the trust I have in the platform has gone waaaaaaaaaay down.

Seriously, I average 3.5 hours of watch time a day so I am paying roughly 10 cents per hour. That is a phenomenal deal. I can't think of any other form of entertainment anywhere remotely near that cheap.
