SKG plans coming to fruition / Ubisoft sued by consumer watchdog
Ewout replied to Ross Scott's topic in Other Videos
Please get a haircut and a proper suit before appearing in the EU parliament. It's fine to spent crowdsourced money on that. Some people, and thus possibly politicians, care about appearances. However ridiculous that may sound to neurodivergent people like us, it is the state of the world. People that care about appearances, will listen to your arguments better if you present yourself well. Consider it please, the movement needs every tiny bit of push. Your hair will grow back. -

Big Stop Killing Games news! Ubisoft is getting sued by heavyweight consumer protection group UFC-Que Choisir in France! This is EXACTLY the kind of action we've been working towards to eventually stop publishers from destroying customer copies of video games. Also, I'm going to Parliament! This is a blog post.

I want the forums to stay, at least to be archived or to be used as a place to submit subs. This place would be a good bulwark against enshittification and platform centralization if there's a way to combat the Temu spam effectively. Where will people go once discord and reddit require you to scan your face or ID to use their sites? Also, what is it with kerdios and BTG being argumentative?
-
Not really. Just as Bulletin Boards died out, so to are forums. Note, not all of the old BBs are gone, so to will some forums remain, but as long as the human attention span remains finite, there will never be anywhere near enough draw to keep people on forums in lieu of social media sites. There are only so many hours in the day, and social media gives a much bigger dose of brain happy juices than forums do.
-
I don't remember mentioning things? What things did I mention? Were they secret things?
-
yes, you quite obviously did, also this cannot be a winning post because I already abdicated from the race
-
So what you are saying is we should all file a GCRP data deletion request so our data won't be kept at ross's indefinitely after the forum closes. Am I right?
-
Where will I be able to obtain my temu discount codes without these forums?
-
That's near-sighted as per my last point. Who knows how the internet will unravel. Also, where will that depressed Serbian guy go if there are no more forums?
-
Sadly, forums are in general a dying breed. They aren't addictive enough to draw the crowd from the more common social media sources. Nobody wants to converse anymore, they just want to post 15 second videos and press a button to tell others they like their 15 sec videos.

Did I mention anything?

Freeman's Mind will return according to the last five chats. But I've seen comebacks on a grander scale

@kerdios @Mira @mrglanet@Erasmus Roterodamnsus@Generic-User @Kraken Dear friends, colleges, and the vast swaths of people I didn't mention here: As you may heard from the last video chat, Ross plans to shutter the forums at some point in the near future. In this unfortunate scenario, there is a non-zero chance that BTGBullseye will- God forbid- make the last post in the Last Post Wins thread and cement himself in history- and he will be Happy. We cannot allow this man to have any more smug satisfaction, so I think we should all petition for the forums to remain open. Additionally, many de facto anonymous people *do* still comment on Video posts, and Game List entries. Or whatever. There's also archival work for subtitles and stuff. The Temu spammers will die off eventually, and self-hosted forums are a rarity these days. But with how centralized and policed the aggregates are becoming, you never know when this could come back in handy.

No, I mentioned ponies

Agreed, it feels like the Artstationification of Xen. HL1 Xen was, ironically, more alien and barren. I love the black void that leads to the Nihilanth teleporter. Highly recc Blue Shift mod as well -
I'm hopeful!

Here's the March videochat. There are some minor announcements about the SKG and AF website at the start. Also talking about DLSS5, Highguard, misc. game stuff. More SKG announcements probably this week, Freeman's Mind should be not long after that. This is a blog post. To read the original post, please click here »

I get random stuff occasionally, but it's usually stuff that's kinda interesting, like philosophy stuff. Most of it is just new stuff from the few channels I frequent. However I have previously watched a few videos to see what some other political voices are saying, and had it completely wipe out my entire feed changing it to exclusively those other voices. It took me nearly a year to get my feed back to the way I like it, so I'm very wary of risking my feed anymore.
-
my feed is just a bunch of geography facts. I think they did it right
-
I've had incognito still mess with my feed. Youtube doesn't stop tracking on their end just because your browser doesn't track you. I'd literally have to use a privacy browser and a VPN to have it not affect my feed, and I'm way to lazy to do that right now for 1 link.
-
if you're really curious try opening them using private or incognito mode, in theory they shouldn't mess with your feed like that. If on the other hand you don't want to give them the view count then yeah, just don't click them.
