So, I was scrooling yt last night as I am wont to do sometimes, and miraculously, all these videos showed up, one after the other. I haven’t seen the algorithm working this well in over a decade lol.
Microsoft’s addiction to hiring 18 month contractors and then forcing them to learn an in-house engine has disastrous effects on Halo Infinite, leading them to abandon their slipspace engine in favor of Unreal

Serious, the developer of CoD BO3’s T7 patch, was one of the first community patches to address the arbitrary code exploits which began to ravage the multiplayer servers of the older CoD games, making them unsafe to play online. Recently this topic has made a resurgence, new RCEs have been found, but the developer of T7 makes a convincing case that his patch has been safe all along, and the people causing controversy (mostly cod/zombies youtubers) have no idea what they’re talking about beyond regurgitating FUD

Someone dives into the question of why TV appearances of the world’s greatest detective are so….weird, if he even appears at all. Makes a convincing case that it’s nothing to do with “preserving the brand” (look at gay black superman for confirmation) and is probably because of a legal quagmire surrounding the rights of Batman ‘66

Apparently Cloudflare’s business model is something like the mafia’s

Who could have ever imagined that the evolution over 20 years of the approach to clearing or controlling a single hallway in a video game could be so interesting

EVE Online, at its highest levels, isn’t PvE and it isn’t even PvP. Eventually you reach a point where it becomes PvDev (or you join goonsquad)
Glad you didn't mention the hall clearing tactics video was CS or I wouldn't have bothered, since I've never really enjoyed any version of CS. It's turned out to be an interesting video so far.
Glad you're liking it. CS to play and CS to watch at the highest level are two totally different experiences. They might as well be separate universes. I don't enjoy playing, but top level team play can be very interesting to watch.

Honestly, I think all the videos have general interest/value even without a personal experience with the area, so don’t let (for example, and to anyone reading) the mention of “the spreadsheet simulator EVE” scare you off from (yet another) interesting example of developers shooting themselves and their GaaS model in the leg, which seems to be disastrously common these days (concord, bungie’s collapse, BioWare’s anthem faceplant and selling off swtor, fo76 launch, etc etc). We see even the “untouchable titans” like WoW and EVE aren’t immune
