Least pretentious Lemmy user.

I’d second the fact that it’s really difficult to do it, and that you genuinely need to enjoy the process. More likely than not, you won’t “make it” and you’ll just be doing it as a hobby. Though, more than anything, you just need to do it. You might not know what to say today, tomorrow, or next month, but eventually you’ll find a rhythm and know what works for you. There’s no way to find that rhythm if you aren’t making anything.

My source for this is the fact that I’ve been doing YouTube for nearly 2 years now, creating weekly videos. I think they’ve been of pretty good quality for about 14 or so months now. I have just over 500 subs which, while I’m super proud of and thankful for that, isn’t even enough to enable ads on my channel. I also specifically chose a niche that’s a tad easier to stand out in, as the market for gaming videos is so so so saturated and difficult to stand out in, as the barrier for entry is so low.

I don’t mean to discourage, and of course wish you the best of luck, but I do want to share a realistic view on it based on my experiences being a small potato YouTube creator.

He wasn’t just critical of it, he spread misinformation about it. It was wild to watch someone be so completely and utterly wrong, then double and triple and quadruple down on it.

Do you have a link? I’ll start looking, will edit this comment if I find it.

Edit: This seems to be how to do it for Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/hz/privacy-central/data-requests/preview.html - My data hasn’t come through yet so I don’t know how difficult it is to get the sum of all orders/refunds.

Not really an RPG, more of a action adventure, but Far Cry 3 will probably run well enough. I played it on a much worse laptop when I was in highschool.

Me? None. I just play for fun, I’d lose bad.

If there was going to be a game I’d show up for it’d be Forza Horizon, I’ve got the most hours in that and kinda do ok when I occasionally play online against randoms. Haven’t been playing much recently though, so the former statement probably still applies.

I have beat the game. I remember the gist of the solution, but I have no idea how to pull it off any more. I can’t wait to play it again, possibly with the VR mod.

Yeah, those two are debatable at best, but the other points sure make a lot of sense, and definitely have value. I say this as a SteamDeck user who never even considered the Ally for myself.

I wouldn’t…

I loved this game.

Wear headphones, the sound design is legendary, really made me feel like I had some shit going on in my head.

This is a weird mentality. Competition in the space is good, even if the current “default” thing is really good.

The GTAOnline situation is super wack, but R* hasn’t stopped delivering great single player campaigns, well technically only one - RDR2 - since introducing shark cards, and it is still completely separate from RDROnline and the paid currency. I won’t pre-order GTAVI still, even once it comes to PC, but I’m going to pick it up if the reviews are halfway decent.

Sorry, I wouldn’t pre-order even if it was released on PC at launch, I didn’t make that clear.

Also, as if anyone should be worried about getting a copy when digital distrubition exists.

GTAOnline has suffered from feature pile-on. I think there’s an official software development term for it, but I can’t remember it. It’s fun, aside from the astronomical grind and push for shark cards (but there are ways around that wink wink) Even considering that, getting into it as a new player is wild.

I won’t be pre-ordering (because they likely won’t be releasing on PC at launch, ugh), but I have high hopes. There hasn’t been a R* game without a killer story. I kinda expected RDR2’s story to be an afterthought to the online, as that was their first game since GTAOnline, however it was still an awesome single player campaign.

Get wrecked (/s)

My second question was “Is it larger than a microwave” and it gave it to me. Sorta BS tbh. Idk if I’d have ever gotten it if it’d answered that question as “no” like it should’ve.

Edit: They updated it to make it more lenient. Imo too lenient.

I asked if it was larger than a microwave on my second question and it gave it to me…

Edit: There was an update to make it more lenient. Too lenient imo.

I asked

“Is it living” 👎

“Is it larger than a microwave?” Wow you got it!

I would consider the answer to that question a no, not a “You solved it!” A microwave is not larger than a microwave.

Edit: They updated the game to make it more lenient after people guessing microwave over didn’t get it. It’s too lenient now though, in my opinion.

I played Moss and loved it. Moss II is sitting in my library waiting for my attention. I need to get around to it.
