I’m a simple person. I see Ahoy, I upvote.
I know he only releases around 2 video per year, but they always seem amazing. He’s in a short list of YouTubers who I support on patreon along with defunctland and noclip.
- Comment on Americans are losing enthusiasm for their jobs, with AI and remote workers at the center of the decline 1 week ago:
Fuck you. Split out fully remote from hybrid. As someone who was fully remote “unofficially” from 2020-2024, then had my job threatened like everyone else with mandatory rto - yeah, I don’t feel valued.
Sitting in a car for 40 minutes each way when I could be taking that zoom/teams call from the comfort of my home office while drinking a good coffee in comfortable clothes was infuriating before gas cost more than $100/gal. (No, there isn’t public transit available for my commute, or I’d take that.)
Adding AI makes it even more insulting.
So you’re saying AI is so powerful, it’ll replace my job - the same job that requires me in the office 4 days a week. What are you going to do, buy robots to replace us developers?!

- Comment on Super late to the party but Control is really good… 1 week ago:
I just completed Control Resonate and I was happy to see they kept that level of detail in the sequel.
- Comment on Super late to the party but Control is really good… 2 weeks ago:
Read/watch everything. Maybe after dealing with an object of power, there’ll be a slightly redacted memo about it. There’s inner office politics in other memos.
The world building is absolutely amazing if you choose to be patient and read everything you can.

Because Photoshop is far superior to gimp for…. reasons? But Photoshop costs $$$$$, so this is like free.
/s
Honestly, the only thing not to like about GIMP is the name. There was a fork a while ago, but that closed down.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
I also just started this! I got 100% completion on Control - I loved the lore and little details, finding myself reading every note and watching every video.
Resonant seems to be following the same vibe for me.

Wow. That’s a fucked up read.

Well, they are brothers.
- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 1 month ago:
Look at any tough-guy gym… There’ll be testosterone offered to make you a “real man”.
Or breast implants for women who want bigger boobs. Those are both designed to help cis folks feel more like they’re the man/woman they think they need to be.
Which is why if gender affirming care is ever outlawed in my purple/red state, I’m going to be reporting the fuck out of the maga gym near by.

Plug your ears and drink water.
Or drink water upside down.
These are the treatments that seem to work the best

Fun fact - some tomato varieties can be harvested after they start to turn their final color, and left (stem side down) in a window to ripen the rest of the way.
- Comment on Indie dev defends criticism of Steam refund abuse amid review bombing of his game: 'It's wrong to refund a game after having fun with it and completing it' 3 months ago:
I’ll add that noclip (and their second channel noclip_2 are excellent for games journalism /documentaries.
And CallMeKevin has been doing wholesome video game content (and other things) for about 10 years.
- Comment on I mean, technically the kid's right 3 months ago:
The thing is, the kid circled (then erased) the “correct” answer for the first two and started circling the right one for the last question… Then stopped.
So they totally got the assignment.

A buddy of mine at work refuses to ever accept or decline invites - even 1-on-1s with his boss.
That way it’s always a surprise if they are going to show up.

- Comment on If I was in the market for a good used car, which car would be the best to outrun the cops? 6 months ago:
Ah, then you had one with a working transmission! Chevy evidently tried something new for their 1986-1988 V8 engines and it wasn’t good.
I replaced the transmission in my behemoth twice before giving up on it.
- Comment on If I was in the market for a good used car, which car would be the best to outrun the cops? 6 months ago:
I had a 1987 Chevy Caprice Classic 5.0L V8. The thing was a tank.
Go ahead and try to pit me, I dare you.

- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 8 months ago:
Hey, how fresh are they? I never liked avocados until I tried them in California, in season. It was like night and day.
But as others have said, they’re not really “sweet”.
- Comment on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 8 months ago:
Hey everyone, because nobody told me when I bought a house, you have to do maintenance on your water heater to keep it working, including changing out a $40 part called an anodizing rod.
