Jerking off from below the knee takes a lot of effort too. No one pays for this though

Another case of wimminz thinking that it's effort that matters
Why the fuck are you telling me this???

And what do you think matters when it comes to wanting others to make things? People are motivated by being able to be paid, and most can only do things that take time and effort at any meaningful scale when they can get paid (otherwise, since effort and time are not something we have in infinite supply, we don't have the resources to attend to those things).

Nobody cares about effort. The result is what matters.

If you put a lot of effort but the result is shit, don't expect to be paid well

No one's arguing against that. :roll:

And the effort is important is on the other half of the equation, what motivates us or allows us to do things beyond a minor hobby in the first place. (This honestly feels like arguing for arguing's sake, because none of this is about people being / feeling / whatevering entitled to compensation.)

Plenty of jewtubers produce utter and absolute digital diarrhea, and I'm sure they put a lot of effort in their thing - doesn't mean that they should be rewarded for the effort alone.

Moreso, they idea that the pay is the main thing that matters here is wrong. Nostalgia Critic started with a passion, but then sold out and started producing the absolute shit - despite the fact that effort increased

Warthunder Review
yooooooooo
free video no merchants were charged
i gotta earn my bread Q4 advertising budgets are wild
Raid Shadow Legends wrote me like 4-5 times in my absence
more stuff coming after this, I just have a super busy schedule right now and i'll try get back and answer stuff once that cools down

On a serious note I've been slow because of the withdrawal but after so long my energy seems to finally be picking up, it's absolutely insane that it took this long. I would estimate a couple months, maybe even a good chunk of a year has just been spent rehabilitating to function without the pharmaceuticals.

Consequently, I expect I can actually get stuff done consistently and at a higher frequency. Here's to hoping.

Hope you enjoy the video!
Sincerely,
Sseth

fuck, i almost wanted to go back to war thunder. then i recalled the geologic eras required to make just a single vehicle decent, how the dogfight got almost abandoned in order to chase the world of tanks craze developing their own tanks, the absolutely brutal bias toward russian vehicles to the point that a wooden plane could take literally a thousand incendiary rounds and not even flinch, and the 1100% retarded choice to forsake the "between ww1 and ww2" period so they could add all the unfun modern planes to sell to you.
no thank you.

YouTube keeps putting this new video in my recommended feed. I want it to go away.
I don't want to see his obnoxious meme spam videos but for some reason ***tube loves to recommend them every time I search anything related to RPGs, not even the ones he reviewed.

no thank you.
There are certain ranks that are very playable, you just have to forsake Tigers and Panthers, as an example. I've been playing for ages and don't have a single "modern" plane or tank.

It's the most entertaining review he's done in a long long time, and I don't give a fuck about games like this.

didn't expect him to go on an anti-work mantra, or talk about his addiction. oddly real video given the footage is absolutely off the wall, alt. universe nonsense.

Yeah, he's mentioned his Ritalin issues a few times in passing. I think this was the most detail he has provided though.

Could you try to at least not going full retard once in your lifetime
I was being slightly hyperbolic (terribly inappropriate and out of place with Sseth, I know), but beyond that, how exactly would you describe his little declaration?

"after so long I finally realised: I'm not sick, I was never sick, I just live in a sick society, where someone's individual worth is measured only by the raw productive output they can spit out before being chewed up by the gears, irrespective of their own unique neurochemistry and spirit. Fuck being valuable. It's not for me, it's never been for me, it's for sustaining some misery machine. I'm sorry, I never read the fine print of my birth, but I never signed up for this." (14:05-30)​
Sure, you could say he was being facetious, but it's pretty plainly delivered and ties in directly to his immediately previous complaints about ritalin, a cognitive performance enhancing drug, being "a vampire and it's gonna suck your will to live". That whole section starts with a joke, but doesn't really end on one. Maybe just aren't familiar with the phrase? I gave your edgy bile a serious answer, maybe you can do me the same courtesy this once.

Seemed pretty obvious to me that he was ranting about being burned out as a medical practitioner.
