Unless words magically don't mean anything anymore, "they got their videos taken down by DMCA" followed by "yeah fuck them" implies very direct support of videos being taken down.

I unsubscribed a youtuber I had JUST subscribed to because he spoiled a plot point to a comic I hadn't read yet in thumbnail and TITLE to his video. The book in question had only been out for a couple of HOURS. Judging by the videos you've posted in this thread I can see why. You're playing with fire on your youtube feed.

It was too bad because I had just discovered his channel and liked his content but it if that's how he does things I'm good.

I didn’t realize physical violence was an acceptable method of remediation and to prevent them from ruining the experience for others. That does seem like a much more rational and measured response to this kind of situation rather than a pre-release DMA strike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I spent years meditating at a mountain temple, in complete silence, while sitting on a bed of nails. I came away stronger, better, in desperate need of a tetanus shot... and a complete indifference towards spoilers. It can be learned. You CAN be better.

Plausibly for a large set of narratives, spoilers won't matter. But if part of the designed narrative experience is for you to be trying to figure things out from the same information the characters have, that experience is completely broken by spoilers. I suppose you can just say you don't enjoy the experience of trying to figure things out with the characters, but there is nothing wrong with liking that and spoilers fuck it. For games this is even worse. There's not many games where your choices *actually* matter (even though all PR says they always do), but for example, I've made choices in BG3 based on the limited information I have, and that specific experience is fucked if someone tells me how things ultimately unfold. Same thing in Witcher 3. Obviously those games have other things going for them that even warrants replays, but that specific experience requires no spoilers.

Same thing in Witcher 3. Obviously those games have other things going for them that even warrants replays, but that specific experience requires no spoilers. I will say in my case personally… I prefer to experience those things non-spoiled it given a choice and I don’t ever seek spoilers out. I also wouldn’t pretend that the experience of seeing something like The Matrix is “the same” if you know the hook going into it compared to having no idea what’s going to happen. I genuinely DO enjoy mysteries and trying to figure stuff out as I’m watching, reading, playing, whatever. That said, I find that any effort taken to avoid spoilers is (again, for me) effort wasted. Especially on the internet where you’re one thumbnail, swipe, botched tag, different spoiler threshold, etc., away from having something spoiled. I’ve also found that personally I usually enjoy the rewatch or reread more than the initial one since I get to pay more attention to the framing as opposed to thinking about it. Perhaps counterintuitively I sometimes / often feel this way MORE about games than non-interactive media. If I get to the end of a shitty mystery movie I’m out a couple hours and possibly no cash, assuming it’s on Netflix or whatever. At the end of Heavy Rain I was out 10 hours, $60 poorer, I wanted to put my PS3 into a blender, and I actively wish someone had spoiled that for me. Or say… the way that the Padan Fain arc ended in The Wheel of Time books… I spent a TON of time thinking about that fucking guy over the span of LITERAL YEARS and I really wish someone could have told me to not bother. TLDR… my time on the internet became more enjoyable when I decided to not to modify my behavior to avoid spoilers, trained myself to not give a shit, and I’ve found that it’s had little to no net impact on my media enjoyment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or something I suggested in another thread which someone said they are incapable of doing but it's quite easy for me, just forget about it. It's hard enough to remember a movie / game on your own. If someone blurts out a spoiler for something I haven't seen I generally forget about it by the time I see it. I wanted to bring up a recent example but I forgot what it was. I think it was a game spoiler or something. Listening to those end of the year deliberations with spoiler warnings, it's like in one ear and out the other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides 30fps on console, AMD sponsored means intentionally poor cpu usage so that they can say the numbers are close to nvidia’s (since the cpu is the bottleneck) and on the cpu end their flagship right now is the 8 core 7800x3D sooooooooo You'll take 20% usage and you’ll like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
