I love LTT. It's entertaining, and he shows cool stuff. And you can even learn a thing or two.

And I am gonna be even more unpopular than you.
I find Steve from GN to be boring as fuck to watch regularly (though I watch him when I want to see a specific review, like I do with other channels, his content is very good in terms of information), and he resorts to clickbait regularly, even if a different kind of clickbait (that waste of sand thumbnail, if it was LTT, would be criticized forever).

And more, even if you want to buy something instead of watching for entertainment, you shouldn't rely on 1 single review anyway, so pretending GN is the be-all-end-all for tech reviews is ridiculous.

A few weeks ago they did a video about mech keyboards, without the face or clickbait title, and it was performing much worse after 3 days than even the daily video. The difference was in the hundreds of thousands of views.

Even now, it is one of the worst in terms of views from the past month (excluding the last 3 days, which will probably increase in views still) with 1.1M views, against the 2nd lowest which has 1.2M views, but it is a video about Mac gaming, and that isn't a particularly performing topic.

Because life hates me, I support CD Feirense, and FC Porto, both from Portugal, both in a sorry state due to the boards being greedy cunts.

At least the Portuguese NT got rid of Fernando Santos, I guess

According to L'Equipe, Luis Enrique will be the next PSG coach. The French media says that the agreement will be made official within the next week. After failed negotiations with Nagelsmann, the Spanish coach has reportedly chosen the Parisian club to replace Christophe Galtier. The French capital club believe they are not too far away from reaching an agreement with Luis Enrique and there are only a few details to be settled. Luis Enrique's personality could be key to adjusting a divided dressing room that does not seem to have a choral union as a team.

I can recommend Lego Lord of the Rings. Me and my gf had a lot of fun, and it is the only Lego game I played with her that didn't bore me to death.

We tried Lego Harry Potter, and while she loves it (she loves the Lego games), I just found it boring as hell, so it depends on the person

Right now?
No, I don't think so.

But Windows is getting worse, and GamePass won't be cheap forever.
Same with them putting the games on Steam, it can change on a whim.
I mean, even on PC, nothing stops them from walking back and just making everything Xbox exclusive in the future again.

They can make changes that make it impossible (or extremely hard) for their games to work on Linux using Proton.

There are many ways they can use these company mergers to fuck the consumer in the future.

Consolidation is always a bad thing, in my opinion, because it takes away choice from the consumer and puts it in the hands of trillion-dollar companies whose sole objective is to make ALL the money all the time, forever.

Wasn't the Disney stuff under Trump's administration?
It seems Biden (from an outside perspective, as I am not from the US) is at least trying to reign in companies a bit, so this block isn't that surprising.

The EU decision surprised me more, but I can understand their arguments.

As a gamer, this could be great in the short term, with Activision-Blizzard getting good leadership and hopefully new games from franchises which are not CoD or Diablo.
Medium/Long term, it could be awful, with Microsoft getting more and more market share and then turning around and fucking us in the ass really hard after they lock us in their ecosystem
