  • The quality and quantity of voice actors has exploded, there are still plenty of places that cheap out, but the baseline level of voice acting in dubbing now is barely even comparable to 15 years ago.

    Finding decent dubs used to be a needle in a haystack with big studio money required, you can name them all off on one hand, the OP did later on in the thread. Now it’s almost the opposite!

    There’s also a shift in western, especially American, voice acting away from subtle emotional performances to the emotive and excitement filled performances of the Japanese voice actors too. It’s a few things right now.






  • Linus’ employees were the ones trying to use the GN name to up their own reputation, GN called them on that and it ripped the company apart. They had to put in the new CEO, they last floatplane subs. In that whole back and forth, GN made like 2 vids and Linus was permanently affected.

    During the honey thing, like dozens of creators called out Linus for not blowing the whistle publically on honey when he knew exactly that they were doing months before the news broke. LINUS hyper focused on GN talking about it because GN had already hurt them so badly.

    It’s a feedback loop where Linus knows which knife cuts him the deepest, so he’s focused on blunting that edge. It’s transparent at best.


  • I genuinely can’t imagine feeling that way. GN produces a crazy amount of hardware related content. They delivered a near fatal blow to Linus’ ego because of how silly the comparison of the Linus slophouse compared to GN was when it happened. But like the number of times GN has covered Linus compared to the damage they did is incredible. Count the coverage on one hand for GN vs the evisceration LTT experienced.

    You know GN doesn’t give a shit when they didn’t even cover the jet, or several of the highest profile on camera employees leaving. Which is free money. I think I see people who see GN as solely anti-Linus as approaching from poor faith. Which maybe some other people do as well.


  • I think the problem is they tried this. Kamala was frontlined initially by the Biden admin. She was crazy unpopular, a bad public speaker, and really terrible off the cuff on questions. She’s just a very poor politician, or maybe a politico from an era that doesn’t exist anymore.

    The most support she had was when Biden dropped, before she talked. If Biden had dropped later and the elation and excitement that was generated by him dropping out was carried into the general, Kamala wins imo.

    I keep hearing she needed more time, no. She needed less time, the country had forgotten she sucked when Biden dropped, she had plenty of time to remind them.




  • This is a crossing the Rubicon moment for Trump. The entire maga apparatus understands that at least the pretense of consequences await them if another group takes over, that includes people who have been fired or left. It happened to them the last time. They know this time the other side is getting voted in on consequences, and they know the other side knows they have a year or two post election to do it, or else they already risk getting wiped out in the midterms just like the situation that republicans find themselves in now.

    It’s life or death right now for a lot of members of this admin, and they are gonna act like that. Good luck us.
