I just read your comment history. Speaking from experience, huh?

Love how this has gone from “researcher at x university” to “tip from a friend of mine” in less than 48 hours.

Yes, do this if you want your work to have the same feel as every other writer who runs their work through an llm.

Seconded. I keep trying others. I tried feedly for a while. I also tried readyou (which I still keep on my phone)… But nothing comes as close to inoreader for doing what I want.

Also, I’ve learnt how to aggregate other feeds into a single feed to pass them into it to get around the 150 limit. Not ideal, but I’m cheap.

Right you are. They started in 2003 a full two years before YouTube and a solid four years after the 90s.

I’m betting they weren’t around in the early 90s. I mean… If we are talking any real sort of publicly available machinima, we must be talking about the start of YouTube.

Unless watching your mate, Gary, do that thing where he voiced over Zangief as if we was a WWF wrester counts.

But… Look at his halo!

Get a point for being bold enough to nominate yourself too.

I mean it, that was a cool thing to do and I’m glad you recognise it.

But not the cyclist as the cycle right through it.

I just want to add some context as a person that’s going grey.

You are still incredibly young in your 20s. There’s still so much time left for you.

It’s the ideal time to drop out. Think things over and find some purpose or direction.

Or not.

So much is made about knowing your course in life, when often learning to drift the right way can be far more enjoyable.

So yeah, not exactly a call to hedonism, but try to find what you enjoy and where your ambition lies then make positive steps to get there.

Sure, but just to be clear, it’s about the brain plasticity and diminishing returns. That stuff just isn’t true.

Here’s what the British academy has to say on the subject:

Yeah, no.

This is bullshit.

(Especially the stuff about brain plasticity and learning capacity)

I feel that. It’s the only game to date to leave me just sat there wondering why my face is leaking.

If I could give you ten extra points for responding like that I would. Instead, have my respect.

Now, I’ve just learnt that beer was involved too… So…

Probably not:

The pyramids were built without coffee.

Make of that what you will.

Really decent.
