  • Martinet Stepping Away from Voicing Mario

    Jump

  • Do they even need to replace him though? There's a 25-year back catalog of recorded voice lines to recycle, and most of those consist of "Let's-a-go" and "Yahoooo!" I think the most complex sentace I've ever heard Mario speak in game is "Thank-a-you so much for playing my game". Combine that with AI voice recreation, and there's literally no reason to ever hire a replacement. Just cut Martinet a big-ass check for perpetual use of his voice, and they're golden.

  • Define "late"

  • What happened with Channel Awesome? I know some shit went down, but I hadn't followed them in years when I first heard about it, so I never really got all the details.

  • Unironically, yes. Multiple studies dating back years have found a link between high intelligence and various mental health issues.There was one particular paper I read about a decade ago, where researchers surveyed a bunch of collage students to find demographic trends based on their preferred operating system. From what I recall, the demographics of Windows users were not too far off from those of the university as whole, and Mac users were similar, aside from women being significantly over-represented. Linux users on the other hand, were almost all men, and nearly every mental health issue imaginable was over-represented by a huge margin.

    Trying Soulseek/Nicotine+ for the first time, and I noticed something...

    Jump

  • I have a somewhat large share on Soulseek. It's fun to occasionally go through the chat rooms and ban all the blatant racists and homophobes.

  • The best-selling video game of each year since 1993

    Jump

  • I'm surprised that Gran Turismo was number one is 2005. I remember Star Wars Battlefront II being the hot new game everyone was playing at the time, and Star Wars being huge in general due to Episode III releasing that year. Just the fact that a PS2 exclusive driving sim, beat out a multi-platform Star Wars game that was one of the most hyped releases at the time is insane to me.

  • GN spends the first segment of their GN News to responding to Linus's comments, and reveals that Linus mislead people on the Billet compensation.

    Jump

  • Compared to sifting though God knows how many hours of LMG content to find this information yourself, it sure is. I was aware of perhaps two of the data accuracy issues Steve presents, prior to the GN video. And I had no idea about the Billet Labs thing, or that an LTX charity auction even happened.That's what good reporting does. It takes complex issues with disparate data points, then makes connections and filters out the noise to make it digestible to a wide audience. It may be a long video, but having watched the whole thing, I'd say at least 90% of it necessary to make the points being conveyed.

  • The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility

    Jump

  • I some cases sure, but a lot of the time it's simple stuff like "Save changes before quitting?" or "You need to restart to apply updates. Restart now?" and they still can't figure it out.

  • The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility

    Jump

  • I work in IT. Average people tend to fall into one of two categories when presented with big scary warning messages.

    Category 1: They freak out and immediately ask for help, and tend to be very skeptical of anything you tell them to do until the message goes away.Category 2: They ignore the message and YOLO it like Linus did, then call for help hours or days later when something inevitably breaks.It's rare for either group of people to read an comprehend the message in it's entirety.

  • The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility

    Jump

  • I agree that a large chunk of LMG content is vapid and surface level, and I was put off by them years ago because of it. Ironically though, I've found much of their newer output more appealing, not because of it's informational value, but because where else am I gonna see someone build a hacked together water loop with a car radiator?

  • Are there any crack/patch/keygen/serial search engines still around?

    Jump

  • There's gamecopyworld for game cracks, I'm not sure about general software though.

  • Classic 1/?

  • Completely agree. This post is an incredible example of of "Yes, and... ", but I would never want to see it anywhere near actual improv due to the racism.

  • I think people pay for streaming services, which is what I assumed was meant by the original post.

  • I see several people have already mentioned Soulseek, the one other place I'd recommend is rutracker. You have to sign up, and it's in Russian, but it's probably the easiest place to grab entire discographies, and you can occasionally find things there that aren't on Soulseek.

    Of course if you're really serious about music piracy, getting into the private tracker scene is the only way to go. redacted.ch specifically, is probably the most comprehensive music archive on the Internet right now.
