So who is your favorite character in FFXI?

Im not sure if there is one in particular. I dont really feel emphatic with "deep" or "complex" characters, but I like funny guys.

For the ladies, maybe Lillisette is my favorite. For the guys, maybe Atoru Moru (or whatever the LB10 taru name). He eas decently funny overall.

In line with the chatGPT misconception of me (calling me a troll), here is a video about old cartoon villains, how they are portraited as "bad guys" when in reality they are more human than the "protagonists", making them very relatable characters

This is so like me…

This could be inserted in the AI thread, but I think maybe it doesnt fully about AI

Im not even sure what is this about, but I gonna need to rewatch later

seemed appropriate with recent topics

Saya no Uta gameplay.

I think it got most critics because Saya is supposed to be a loli, but aside this particular case, that I dont even think is correct given Saya is a monster we never see in game, the story is solid imo.

Its a horror suspense story that got my intention.

Only thing I really complain is how the gruesome parts were left to players imagination. We never see Saya real body, and other body horrors arent exposed in game.

The video says you can buy a version with the sex scenes being explict, but I dont know why you would do that.

But if you do, tell me so i can call Tom

Video discussing about Rust and why use it.

I personally am not sold on the "rewrite with Rust and had major gains on performance and security".

Im not sold on those claims because rewriting generally result in better code regardless of technology, if you are learning with your past mistakes, so you can separate the gains from new knowledge and the gains from the technology per se. So I dont really trust giving all credits to Rust alone.

But what sold be is the line that "borrow checker" allows you to write things maybe you never cared but should.

I will give it a go

OMFG this is definitively the greatest video of all time:

Dog cleaning ASMR!!!!

Im always late to the party, but I suppose I shouldnt be the only one?

IDK about this new thing pulled out by Youtube. I do feel more and more people must be aware of content being appropriate to younger people.

But on the other side, I do think it is ***you using children as an excuse to reduce the potential of a content that is aimed for adults. There is something weird when only content suitable for children is worth the full payment.

I only know the tip of the iceberg anyway. The fact is, Youtube is a kinda of boss that can pull rules as they feel like, and everyone is impacted.

Funny dog being tricked

Seriously this short is amassing million of view, Im 100% it is because of the thumbnail

Now it is the bill, you AdBlockers: you are hurting community!

Watch the damn ad!

But now this is interesting: Youtube not considering views from videos viewers are blocking ads seems only reasonable from a company PoV.

But the content creators can do nothing against that: they cant prevent people from using adblock.

If this is true, maybe in the future they will invest more in membership comtent, what will hurt everyone in return, in a sad vicious cycle.

Dark times

Watch the ad, the adman says.

No.

nothing drives me away from a service faster than unskippable advertising. stopped owning/watching TV almost 20 years ago for what little good it did.

Personally I pay YT Premium so I do have ads.

My only worry is if content creators starts adding more and more content in their membership plan.

While the membership itself isnt big of a deal, it is pretty much not viable having membership for multiple channels without any commotment of content production from youtubers. Also, I favor diversity and not a single one channel.

Honestly Im not 100% believing this is the problem. I do think the major issue here is the "AI filtering" everyone is dosucssing lately.

In the future, either they release a better adblocker that also adds to the views, or Youtube endorse their own controls to annul adblock (so that adblockers also evolve in the usual cat and rat battle).

The worst is dropping the consequences of this battle in the content creators, that really have little to do for protection, and everything to lose

You're paying for free service supported by ads just to still have ads lol

That's like paying for a subscription to Netflix only to still see ads on shows on Netflix.

This list of shocking endings is pretty well done, I really felt anxious many of those movies (in particular the first one).

But watchout, because there are many gore and spoliers situations
