Friend of mine got spinners on his cheap ass Toyota a couple years back because they all got ditched after the craze ended
If you know where to look you can get good ones for shockingly cheap, and putting them on old beaters or a Prius is fucking hilarious
Another way to word this might be "Platform with 8,000,000 monthly streamers/listeners pays less than platform of 1,000 subscribers to view pictures."
Think about it for a minute and it becomes pretty clear that shouldn't be surprising at all
You subscribe directly to someone on Onlyfans, you subscribe to Spotify as a whole and your listening habits help split the bill. If both are ~10 bucks a month of course one is going to make you more money than the other
Especially if they're a lesser known artist. Even if they're getting listened to, if the same people listen to 3x as much swift or whatever that will impact the lesser known persons earnings
This article is a dog shit way to bring attention to Spotifys issues, simple as
But how feasible is it to have a recording of every single time any high school brit lit class put on Shakespear?
significantly less so than video games, which are digital files that are at least for a while all stored on a companies servers
But, again, is a copy of the state of WoW on October 25th 2024 all that important when you consider that what really matter are the players
You wouldn't be copying a specific date, you'd be copying a game version. Opinions on how granular it should go vary, but in a game like FFXIV for example I'd say every major number patch. I'd quote like to go back and remember how things looked, felt, and we're back then even without the players, which are the least important part of preserving that game world to me
Which gets back to the argument of preserving the games themselves (which I think has a lot of merit) versus preserving the culture around them. And people tend to conflate the two because they think "we are preserving culture" gives them a stronger argument.
Ah, I think I get what's happening here: video games are culture. Youre misinterpreting it as meaning "the culture around games" but we mean it literally as "a work of art/part of culture", like "high culture art" or similar phrases. People preserve paintings, why not games? Both are culture
Because they are very different problems. And conflating the two is how you end up losing masters because "there are VHSes with it on it".
You're the only person conflating them
I love the arrogance of telling somebody what they mean
You used words that mean something. If your half baked mind has invented new meanings for the word that's on you, not me
You've descended into "I just need to be right" now
I never wasn't
No point discussing anything.
You'd have to be coherent for that first
Oh shit this is hat immersive game pack shit?
Yeah, it's garbage, don't fucking use it. FFXIV did a whole thing back in end Walker and it just ruins audio
Meanwhile my 5.1 setup works with most games out of the box, and universal HRTF works better than IG on the 6 pairs of phones I've tested it on on 2 different fucking Games
Scam software
I said "like it's rape or something" - I didn't say you're saying it's "tantamount to rape"
ESL or just pretending like you don't know those are the same thing?
I'm just talking about the language people use like they're being personally violated by snaps.
Theyre literally just using the words to describe what is happening, why are you being weird about it?
Getting hardcore incel vibes from your attitude, might wanna work on that
Proton is a better option unless the game needs Anti-Cheat, which most won't work in a VM, anyway
Personally I dual boot Win10 LTSC with fake credentials and some privacy tweaks for games that need to be on windows
I forget the type of mic but there are mics specifically designed for picking up vibrations from surfaces (I googled it, they're called surface mics ffs, could probably use a cheap normal mic without a pop filter tho)
If those use USB or 3.5mm, or can be made to, then plug them in and on windows check the "listen to this device" checkbox and boom, you'll hear what's coming through that mic. Adjust the sensitivity to your needs, done
On other OSs you can do it too just as easily but I don't remember what my Linux distro calls it and if you've installed Linux you have enough info from my comment to figure it out methinks
Almost like they asked about a specific site and not the concept of link aggregators or something
I don't have porn just lying around, thank you very much
It's all seeding for the other degenerates, doing hard work
They want you to consume only from them and only what they approve of
Not just that, I remember when app stores were new and people clamoured to be on them AND those app makers would often move to ONLY being on the app store, with anything downloaded off-store being a scam
So a lot of people grew up to use these devices at a time where downloading something off the web was more likely than not to be malware, giving them the ick on the idea as a whole
Fuck, I'm from the time a bit before all of that and even I have a goddamn hard time downloading shit that's available off-store on someone's website out of pure paranoia from those days
As respectfully as possible: huh?
We're on a link aggregation site, for posting links to things off-site and discuss them in relevant communities
If something is a video or article it makes no difference on its quality or relevance to the community at hand, no?
