AI slop becoming more and more prevalent in the modding scenes I care about is killing my soul

thank you youtube for changing how views are counted thus making them a useless metric for comparing videos but then also still using views as the main metric for comparing the performance of videos

xen-42 @xen-42.com · 28/08/2026

The difference is honestly comical. I had just put out a new video on my channel that I thought was performing decently well, but checking the analytics it's actually entirely due to the new system coming into effect. Inflated my actual view count by a factor of 3.

A plot comparing Youtube view counts for my channel under the old system and the new system as of Aug 27. The new system inflates views by a factor of 3.

The themes for the 6th mod jam are Past and Future! The restriction is Time Loop! To follow the restriction you must use the time loop as a mechanic in your mod in some way. Will you have time-specific events, puzzles that take place over multiple loops, or some other third thing? That's up to you!

I love when I post a new youtube video and immediately lose subscribers (wait no I don't love that) ig that's just how it is if you don't stick to one central topic for a channel!

Personally me I hate when an excellent completed project cannot be dragged out indefinitely

four years running of Outer Wilds being in my top two most played games on Steam, modding is a curse from which I can never escape

smh youtube you gotta bump those numbers up if you really want me cramming midrolls in, lets get to 300-500% then we're talking

Youtube Studio screenshot that reads "Ideas for you: You could earn 31%-45% more. Showing mid-roll ads during your videos could improve your channel's earnings"

Decided to get Jurassic World Evolution 3 and the EULA is like "the game is licensed to you, not sold, even if sellers use language such as 'buy now'" video game ownership really is cooked huh

Did they dye haha get it dye

xen-42 @xen-42.com · 30/09/2025

Imagine getting this heated about a Minecraft mod that adds too many dye recipes. Just don't craft the dye then what do you mean, it's going to be okay man

Youtube comment: Can you fucking cut it out with the damm dye recipes?! Give me one in this mod, ok, give me two and thats kinda redundant, give me three and you have to be kidding me, It is so lazy and boring. if you can't come up with two interesting features for most of these, then just don't bother doing what a random ass book says.

Some day instead of reuploading a Youtube video unlisted 3 times and continuously finding issues I need to fix I'll just like, actually get it right on the first try! Or alternatively find the issues before uploading. One of the two.

16 brand new story mods submitted for the 5th Outer Wilds mod jam. In this jam all submissions take place in the same solar system (until we got more submissions than expected and it tanked performance, so the organizers kinda split them in two groups). outerwildsmods.com/mods/modjam5...

Surely there is some distinction to be made between a devlog of a free and open source project versus like, a youtube video that just advertises their merch store
