Ed is the man. Did funny stuff long before the fake pranks you see nowadays.

I've been listening to the Good In Theory podcast. Politics and philosophy put simply starting from Socrates to Plato and onwards, and feels like you might have to be sympathetic to the authors readings of those works at some points.

Not a field I'm an expert in by a long shot, but the way a lot of todays events and happenings can be related to the thoughts of ancient philosophers and civilizations is fascinating to me.

Ahoy does great game videos! They seem to be pretty rare though, watche dthem all a long time ago and there havent been any new ones. Lots of technical gun videos too.

i saw one of his old videos in my recommended and thought... i haven't seen anything from him in ages, and looked on page, and that one had been released 4 days ago. He isn't very frequent but his videos are normally worth watching.

Lex Fridman is one of my favorite channels. I think he is an excellent interviewer and he has a lot of interesting personalities on his show. I also love that he has a timestamp for his shows so you can skip the topics that are not that interesting. One of my favorites so far:

^I'll have to schedule some time for that video.

Here's a YT channel with a diverse range of videos. I just watched one about what life is really like in Oakland (compared to how it's portrayed in GTAV or WD2) and how much the police rely on tech to catch, and monitors criminals.

But this shows diversity>

I've always enjoyed survivor programmes like Ray Mears, but playing games like RD2 and DG has made me look at specific ones.

This one is set in RD2 style country, from the Survivorman-Les Stroud YT channel.

Who else has a feeling Crowbcat is going to do a video on Redfall showing comparison between marketing and the actual game?

Ahhhh, that takes me back - all the way back to Air Warrior days, playing an MMO pre-internet. There was a group of players that all knew each other... somehow. Playing single player flight sims, maybe? Anyway, they would all gather together at pre-arranged times and take off together. They were, however, very new to the game - and playing against nice, fair-minded AIs in video games is not like playing against humans. So, when they took off, they were pretty easy to shoot down. What's more, they didn't seem to understand the concept of "there's an enemy swarm at this airport, we should go to another" - so they would keep trying to take off. They would be lucky to get their engines turned on before they would get destroyed.

They did figure it out pretty quickly, but everyone else playing also starting figuring out when that group would play. People would log in specifically so they could feast upon them.

I, of course, would never do such a thing. Oh no! I was the guy that took a bomber over to blast the automated flak defense turrets. And maybe a few fighters would get blown up by the bombs, too. (I had to be careful - if too many bombs hit the landing strip, it gets closed and the feast will have to move.)

A couple of YT channels I've been enjoying.

DIY Perks and Basically Homeless

They both create DIY tech projects and there is some competition between them.

Matt (DIY Perks) built some high quality audio speakers using a 3D printer. Jobs like that always take more time than imagined and he went through several prototypes.

But he builds them and shows you how good they are when gaming on a PC. Plus he gives the plans to print your own and points towards the software to check the audio output.

He also wanted to build an 'invisible PC', and hid all the hardware inside the desk itself. The screen folded down from a shelf.

The Basically Homeless guy then wants to go one better and creates a hologram screen. He also creates a virtual mouse with a lot of coding.

It may not be something you want, but it is interesting experimentation. Of course in the future we will play games inside our minds and just think the moves.

Umm… that's how I've always played—I'm world champ at that stage, it's translating my thoughts into effects in the game which drops me back down the ranks

Hadn't heard of this guy before, but I just had a good bit of fun watching his reviews.

If you use two different methods to figure something out and get the same answer either way, you've almost certainly got the right answer. Three methods? Rock solid. Right?

Being a culture aficianado I enjoy Flying Dutchman's channel.

In this one he recreates the scene from Taxi Driver using GTAV.

Missed this when you posted—that's brilliant!

It's surprising the same answer showed up all three times! A serious math geek will go off to a corner to figure out WTF is happening here, and if any other combinations of numbers will work the same. (I'm only a semi-geek, so I feel the calling but wander off to play a video game instead.)

Same here

My quick glance after WTF suggests all 3 methods are riffs on 7x1 + 7x3 = 28, so that's the first route I'll try if I ever don't feel like playing.

@ZedClampet is handy with math too if I recall correctly, and has too much time on his hands…

They changed a rule and applied it consistently, so it gives the wrong answers consistently.

6*12=18, 18/6=1 +12/6=2 =12
7*13=28, 28/7=1 +21/7=3 =13
8*14=40, 40/8 = 1 + 32/8=4 = 14
9*15=54, 54/9 = 1 +45/9 =5 =15
10*16=70, 70/10=1 +60/10=6=16
11*17=88, 88/11=1+77/11=7=17

It sort of breaks down before 6 and needs a new rule, but as long as you embrace the nonsense I guess you can keep going by adjusting math as needed

@Zloth TBH I used to like Laurel and Hardy from the B & W comedy era for their silliness, Buster Keaton for his visual cleverness and Groucho struck me as intelligent.

I think my workplace is going to block me from logging in just for watching that video!

Hugh Laurie was always great even before he became a sociopathic diagnostician. Here two duellist are forced to resort to a slap off with hankies.
