  • Got the A-1 iPad mini for reading and never installed Youtube on it. It is my dedicated reading tablet and I love it. Usually I wouldn’t buy Apple products, but the new processor had me feeling a bit excited. The Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Fire 13" both had glaring issues and reading the internet’s negative views on android tablets left me feeling meh. The better kindle e-readers are really expensive too so I thought to just buy a fully functional high quality tablet instead.











  • A major portion of movies are visuals so watching it while playing a game makes it difficult to catch those parts. Also if I have to tune it out so I can concentrate in-game I will be lost when I tune back in. With a commentary video I don’t have to do so because either I don’t care as much, they’ll repeat important information, or context clues are easier to piece together. I also don’t watch too many movies. I’m mostly talking about just extra long videos not talking about movies.I do watch a lot of gaming retrospectives, though.



  • Yes, but those aren’t the companies that would have replaced Steam if they weren’t successful. It would’ve been a company like Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, or Blizzard who would’ve taken over the game distribution market. Valve is a saint compared to any of those companies. As much as we wish for everything to be DRM free it would never happen. At least not with the current market. Also, the average person doesn’t care about DRM. They don’t understand the implications of what makes an ethical market. They just want to install a game and hit start.
