- Comment on my version is better 1 week ago:
not always. I saw this in a forum meant years ago, I wish I had saved a screenshot or something…
the forum thread was about the dumbest lyrics in songs and someone said sanitarium by metallica had these lyrics:
Got some death to do
Mirror stairs back hard Kill, it’s such a friendly wordand complained it’s nonsense. why would stairs be made of mirrors, and what did that have anything with the rest… also what does stairs back hard even mean, etc …
as you may have guessed even if you don’t know the song, the lyrics are “mirror stares back hard”, which means the person is talking about their own reflection having a look in their eyes.
not only were the misheard lyrics dumb, but I always admired the sheer confidence of the person who, upon hearing these nonsense lyrics, instead of using their internet access to look it up to confirm, used it to complain how stupid it was without thinking twice about whether they could have misunderstood.

as someone who’s not really into hiphop/rap that much, Kendrick has some fucking bangers, and that show was hype af.
only watched it because conservatives are struggling to shit talk it without outright saying “I don’t want to see [black people] during an NFL game”… turns out it was lit. there’s a reason they can’t really say anything about it without being just straight up racist: “that’s not music” - yes it very clearly is & “he’s mumbling” - no he definitely isn’t and his vocals were super clear to understand to the point that I was surprised how clear it was with all the physicality involved. nah they just wanna say “I don’t speak black”.

- Comment on I'll show them 2 weeks ago:
sponsorblock lets you unskip things so you can watch any sponsor you like. it also helps skip all sorts of non content, not just ads so it’s useful either way. you can set it to auto skip, no skip, manual skip prompt, only marked for any type of content (intro, intermission, filler, sponsor etc) not using it is just stupid.
with all that said, I don’t think sponsorblock affects creators at all. I highly doubt sponsors look at how much specific sections of a video has been watched. they only care about how popular a creator is, who their audience is and what they say during the sponsored section.
even if they decide whether to continue sponsoring based on how well the previous sponsored video did, the important metric would be the view count of the video, not how many people watched or skipped an ad section specifically.
if that were important creators wouldn’t split their sponsored sections in time codes they provide because they know it’s an easy skip. more importantly regardless of the creators, the sponsors would simply ask not to do it as part of the agreement. (inb4 legal requirement: I’m not talking about disclosure; I’m talking time codes specifically)

- Comment on Spider-Man 2 Debuts to 'Mixed' Steam Reviews Amid Serious PC Performance Problems 2 weeks ago:
at least in the realm of video games AAA only refers to funding, not quality. in fact it’s pretty consistently shit because terrible business practices almost inevitably result in late and premature releases because they have to meet arbitrary deadlines and believe they can always fix things later. to be fair the community is pretty idiotic and they consistently reward this behavior so they have nothing to lose in most cases.

games are famously terrible at boycotts. if people didn’t buy spidey2 the most probable reason is that the reviews are full of thumb downs saying it runs like shit even on the best hardware.
