No I’m just saying these delivery services have their place. And they’re at least more efficient (in terms of fuel) than doing pickup yourself. They can group orders and daisy chain their routes.

It does mean he’s far above the average person (which isn’t saying much, the average person probably has less than an hour of firearms training, and maybe a few hours of martial arts training at most)

So if he had a gun you’d likely be in trouble.

Lol, you’re not wrong

Sure. But none of those things happen on a daily basis.

No, but in aggregate they do happen millions of times per day

It should be way more efficient considering they could do a pickup from a restaurant near their last delivery. Play the traveling salesman game decently and you’ll easily beat individuals driving themselves many times over. The driver might also do a pickup job from a restaurant they like and decide to get their own food at the same time.

Well I’m pretty hyped for this, the previous season (like 50 years ago lol) was great

So, if a lot of your viewers think your channel is good enough to donate to, ad money basically becomes an afterthought.

I don’t think this is realistic, most people will not open their wallets, especially since they can’t just go around paying a monthly subscription to everyone they watch. Even if their Patreon earnings were higher, I doubt their YouTube earnings would be insignificant.

Dead Meat starts at $1 per month not $5, they have 23,300 paid members. But their YouTube looks like it gets millions of views per month (you don’t only get views on new videos like you suggested, but old videos can get lots of views too as you build up a back catalog). And this is a channel that I found by doing a Google search for most successful YouTube Patreons.

Wow their YouTube has 2.97 billion views

Upcoming events:

Dexter Resurrection starts tomorrow with the first 2 episodes, I’m pretty excited for that. It has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes right now with 21 reviews, apparently that’s based on the first 4 episodes.

Lemmy has that too (depending which app/frontend you use)

Doesn’t PieFed already do this?

Kinda: https://discover.discourse.com/

I don’t think it’s a complete list, but also there’s no way to filter by which ones have the ActivityPub plugin

there’s a plugin for it

There’s been a pivot away from “classic” speedruns games over the last few years - I get that Doom or Sonic 2 or Goldeneye or other 90s games aren’t guaranteed a place every year, but it seems like the games that kicked off the speedrun scene are often overlooked these days.

I definitely always want 80s/90s games in GDQ lol, but I’m old so what do I know, I can still enjoy newer games sometimes

Like the 2016 Doom onwards, the runs are technically outstanding, but there’s a lot of walking on invisible geometry with collision detection, or random tricks like railboosting in Doom that seems to break a game.

but the glitchless/etc runs of those Doom games on high difficulty are amazing, Doom Eternal is so fast it’s basically a single-player e-sport

Any runs you’re looking forward to?

Castlevania games, Resident Evil games, Titanfall 2, Doom Dark Ages, Halo Reach (4 player co-op!), Mario Maker relay race, Mario 3, and of course the Silly Games block

But usually my favorite runs are the ones I don’t expect

The name change definitely confused some people, but keep at it!
