Oh boy! Not all ads! Oh yippee! I have been blessed on this fine day! πŸ₯°

The main issue with YouTube premium is the price, I can't imagine that they're making anywhere near $14 a month from showing me ads that I never click on. I'd love to see a breakdown, including how much is subsiding free users, how much is going to creators, and how much is going into the pockets of shareholders.

I think like most if not all of the people I know would easily pay $5 dollars for premium

Huh, it's maybe as if, nooooo... it couldn't be, the Zuck and Elon are my trusted friends, my confidants, they wouldn't. They couldn't. No way in hell they'd sell or otherwise compromise my personal data

Oh totally, Linux is in the same ballpark as, if not better than, Macs when it comes to RAM usage. Windows is just a hog

I own a 8GB MacBook Pro for work, it's definitely better than a PC with 8GB of RAM, but not better or even close to a PC with 16GB. Just the amount of stutters/freezes while the swap file goes is insane

That's just an APU, see consoles and laptops. The unified memory is basically just the above, but Apple also claims that due to Apple Silicon having the storage controller on board, the swap is magically faster 🀷

Also Mac OS/Linux use less RAM than Windows which certainly helps.

8GB is "fineβ„’" on a MacBook Air, but it's criminal for a Pro machine, and it certainly should not cost Β£200 for an extra 8GB. That's genuinely insane pricing

It is 100% a joke. Literally other than Windows being slightly more RAM hungry, there's not a huge difference between it and Mac's RAM

Whoa, that's like 32GB of Windows RAM. Seems excessive to me tbh

Assassin's Creed is the best example I can think of. It added a store to literally buy gear. Also see like every MMO. This one is more of a reach, but I'd also say something like Hunt: Showdown falls victim to this, as it would be awesome if you could see a hunter and know their "power level" by the cosmetics.

Horizon, both ZD and FW, are a modern example of having gear progression that exists and isn't ruined by microtransactions

I feel like gear progression is massively underrated. I love to dress up with my muscley rpg man, and make him look cooler and more awesome as he gets stronger. I don't want the best cosmetics locked behind a paywall. In MMOs it also just murders any respect/cred you get from having awesome gear that needed you to clear an epic raid or similar.

I get the whole cosmetics thing for "free to pay" e-sport-esc games though, where there's not really any gear progression

Well, your comment was generic of all ages. Not saying something along the lines of "16 year olds are intelligent enough to vote", which I would agree with.

We can just just lower the 18 to 16 and resume the same conversation. No need to be condescending, you're turning a misunderstanding into a disagreement

Lmao, the article is literally talking about children under the age of 10
