Shrimp tend to be pink and have tails, croissants are super flakey.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

Also I picked up Shadow Tactics, and it's fantastic. I had one small moment of frustration with the game getting stuck and refusing to let me do a downward jumping kill after I used the non-lethal attack, but it hasn't recurred, and otherwise it's exactly what I thought and hoped it would be.

:yeah: I beat the last mission last night and I loved every minute I spent with it. There were some frustrating parts where I would try to set up some elaborate distraction that would give me just enough time to kill someone but in most cases once I got a foothold in an area it was just a matter of finding the weakest link. I finished with 65% of the trophies, and it looks like a number of the remaining ones would be easy enough to scoop up but I don't think I have the willpower to get all the badges for all the stages. I spent long enough going through it once, going through it again and trying to beat the hardcore mode and the speedrun badges seems impossible if I ever want to play another game again. The rarest badge I got was for killing all the enemies with the developer names (0.6%) which seems weird because it certainly wasn't particularly difficult. Maybe the stages would be easier if I didn't make that a priority, though.

I ran into a few minor bugs, including one that prevented all three members of a Shadow Mode kill from jumping off the same rope to kill a patrol, but nothing game-breaking.

I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up!

There's that mission on Korhal from BW where you have to decide if you're gonna take out the Terran Dominion's nukes or their battlecruisers, and if you decided to take out the cruisers, your base gets nuked at the start of the next mission.

It definitely hurts a lot of content creators out there who aren't already propped up by some mega gaming media site, but if anything it'll just finalize their transition over to Patreon as the way to make money for uploading videos. The people that get hit the hardest are dudes like ACG who prolifically upload reviews without being sponsored by anything themselves.

I think it's a problem yeah. YouTube's new advertiser stuff is really loose and it's caused innocuous stuff to get flagged without much word or response from Google because they don't believe in talking with content creators who are flagged. Especially when it comes to outright bullshit flagging a la DMCA abuse that goes unchecked (see Jim Sterling v. Digital Homicide, Alex Mauer's spree etc.)

YouTube were flagging stuff for simply having a word in the video title that it deemed to be bad. A lot of YouTube channels discussing news etc. have lost a lot of their monetization because it's deemed advertiser unfriendly, plus stuff in the title will trigger it like "bloodbath" when discussing a video game space battle in EVE (which occurred to a channel I know). Oh and there was also YouTube channels doing Pro Wrestling stuff because apparently that was deemed to be hate speech or something dumb because the YouTube system is stupidly flawed.

H3h3 did a thing on it and how it's caused issues with their channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn46t8NksX0

I for one think it is cool that a small group of people can earn some money making videos about games regardless of content, and on principle oppose any attempt by corporate media shareholders to undemocratically hoard every conceivable ounce of profit for themselves.

A small group of people can't earn some money making videos about games anymore. Quoting myself from another thread

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxU7U5iSQaQ

This dude has 2.5 million subscribers and gets hundreds of thousands of views on every video published on his channel... and in this video he talks about how even though his channel has grown by hundreds of thousands of yearly views since last calendar year, he has made 30% of the money. He then goes on to say that if a video gets less than like 100k views it makes practically nothing.

Help, I've turned into a manifestation of mental disorders as viewed through an early 20th century lens sparked by the disparity between man and modern society and I can't get up
I can't prove it (so stop reading here) but I hear Youtube operates at a loss. It's not too big to fail it's just too big to operate with any kind of financial gain in mind. Skimming money off creators' ad revenue is how it stays afloat.

You'd think eating large amounts of high quality food constantly would be a good thing, but all it does is make you fat and makes it hard to move around.
