I downvote if it looks like they are posting in bad faith. I'll upvote some comments that I disagree with if the poster was trying to contribute to the conversation -- I usually do that to offset the fact that they've been downvoted a bunch already.
Many of the communities I'm in are fairly small, so I upvote almost every comment that I read. I figure it lets someone know that someone else read what they wrote, and I think that's what a lot of us are here for.
Eh, yes and no. Can't say I enjoy it all that much right now, especially since I'm very out of shape for it, haha. I haven't really run in a long time and it felt like an awkward movement for the first few days. It was nostalgic, though, since I used to run track in high school. I think I would find a longer session to be monotonous, but right now my goal is to work up to running a mile and I don't really plan on having a longer cardio session than that. Also, I go in the evenings, and it's been nice to be outside while the sun is going down.
Glad to hear that Crossfit has been enjoyable for you; I've heard other people say the same (or, similar things about crossfit-style workouts). Almost like cardio is being snuck into a workout that has more exciting things in it, lol.
In addition to what you mentioned, another really annoying thing about Youtube's search is that it sometimes gives totally different results from one minute to the next. You can search for something, then type those exact same words just a few seconds later, and you get a completely different list of videos. So if you ever do get a list of good results, you need to leave that browser tab alone and open a new one to keep those results "safe."
OK, I found a little something here: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/contribute/architecture#concepts-1
It says this:
Segments are loaded by HTTP from the origin server + servers that mirrored the video and by WebRTC from other web browsers that are watching the video. They are used by hls.js to stream them into the HTML element
That "from other web browsers that are watching the video" is what I'm curious about: how does it know who those people are?
Sounds like I need to learn more about hls.js and Peertube's custom loader for it.
I agree with what Kolanaki said -- it should be available simply because it existed, not just because people will want to play some version of Crysis. My preference is that each patch-level version of a game should be made available somewhere for people to check out. It's not simply about a product being available that satisfies some need or desire (in this case, the desire to play Crysis). Works that people have made should be available for others to explore.
Also:
If there was no alternative, and debatably superior
is that true? I'm genuinely asking. I think I actually own the remastered version of Crysis, but I haven't actually played it, as I also have the original on Steam. I thought the remastered version was a graphically improved version of the console port of Crysis, which made some changes to the way that your powers activate. And I remember everyone disliking that when the console ports first came out.
Metal Gear Solid. Only had a few minutes to play it -- I mainly just wanted to see how it looked, so I only got through the very first introductory room. Looks just like how I remembered it. I bought the collection with MGS 1, 2, and 3. I've already played a fair amount of the first game (although like...15 years ago), but never beat it. I only ever played MGS 2 on a friends Playstation 2 occasionally, and have never played the third game. So I'm really looking forward to those.
Reposting what I said on Mastodon, since a few people seem to be falling for this one:
Conservatives have a hard time understanding satire (article about this), let's make sure progressives don't become the same way. (I know, it's hard, especially when a lot of conservative opinions are indistinguishable from satire.)
