tbh one of the things i just like about gn is that they didn't spend most their tech channel making sex jokes in just about every single video

Pretty sure it was some very ill-advised "I will defend myself" posturing on twitter rather than Kyle Rittenhouse grade proud boy poo poo, but ok.

Just to be clear, Jay's latest video on AMD's new cards is irredeemable speculative garbage, but that should be enough to dislike him.

Yeah even if you don't care about the threatening to shoot protesters if they come near his house thing, his videos are also dogshit and he's constantly wrong about everything.

since i'm not american, perhaps i can shed light on how it's absolutely a loving bonkers take to arm yourself with a weapon that trivializes mowing down an entire crowd of people, as a response to protests against systemic issues of discrimination and racially motivated violence

no matter if he's an actual racist or just dumb, it's basically the worst reaction since it's impossible to distinguish between him being racist or him being dumb

He invoked his willingness to kill to defend his home and that he had been prepared. He lives in a (possibly gated) white picket suburb.

Everything about Jay makes perfect sense when I pieced together he's a navy brat Gen X'er/very elder millenial who lives in Orange County.

e. Not only his views that are sort of at the side of his professional work but even the way he organizes videos, the sort of humor he pulls, his other hobbies (car guy who loves classic pony cars).

There's a big audience that identifies with everything he puts out there and he knows his lane.

It's stupid to compare Jay to GN. GN is primarily an informative technical channel. Jay is pure entertainment and hot takes that are usually bad and wrong.

More people go to YT for entertainment than serious content so more people look for what Jay makes.

He's dumb. He could have easily just quietly had his murderous prosthetic dick ready to do some killing should someone come on his property. It wasn't enough. He had to announce his willingness to do some murder,publicly, to the world.

Speaking of guns, the 8-bit Guy is talking about having an open house to repair VIC-20s at his house/studio. People are like "preserve your privacy don't allow stalkers or weirdos to come to your house" and I'm thinking "the weirdo is already in the house and no one wants to stalk that pasty middle-aged rear end"

Yeah, he was discussing numbers of people he could host between his backyard studio and the actual house. Obviously he shouldn't do it, but it's still fun to poke at the man so scared he carried a rifle to Subway.

it was also a suburban neighborhood BLM march that I'm absolutely sure had zero rioters, antifas, or anyone else that needed defending against

that's why it was so insane

heck, in Jay's neighborhood it probably didn't even have that many black people

Linus has developed the rich person's problem where his moral compass points in the direction that makes him money. You can see people becoming frustrated trying to tell him he did something lovely while he defends himself that it couldn't have been because he profited from it. I stopped watching all of LMG channels a couple years ago when it became the "unbox things and install expensive stuff at Linus's house" show. Recently saw clips of him again and I think he's gotten even worse in his views and opinions.

I think there's a point to be made about nvidia pulling our leg with hyping 8k gaming with the 3090 and then largely forgetting about it for the 4090, but that's like... one sentence to explain.

shrike82

Nvidia marketing isn't particularly good

A colleague noted the launch marketing for the 4090s focused a lot on DLSS3 giving the impression that raster performance was weak. they should have just focused on raster and RT improvements leading to 2x performance over the 3090

Dr. Video Games 0031

I think the premise of the video is good. We should instill in consumers the idea that 8K is stupid and utterly pointless and they shouldn't want it, or else a game company might do something dumb and try to sell an "8K" console.

It's just a very funny video considering Linus' history of unabashedly shilling 8K as some revolutionary, transformative experience.

Yeah it's not a mystery why Jay is popular. There's a double whammy of striking it lucky by virtue of being an American Gen-Xer and THEN winning the youtube algorithm lottery enough to build up a channel, so there's a double dose of ''I know best" dumb baby energy. But people want someone they can agree with who is also more successful than them, so it's no surprise why the big idiot slab of computer nerd beef has a legion of fans.

Steve tests the 4090 cable alone in the office because everyone else is taking time off. Interesting that the adapters they have is different from the one Igor tested and behaved entirely differently.

He should debunk some of his older videos then, including the one about the headphones in the very first B-roll of the video quoted.
