I wish Peertube would be succesful, but i don’t really see it.
I have searched for a gaming focused server in the past and haven’t found one. Seem you were more sucesful than me. But i think finding the best server for youself is kind of harder on peertube
i don’t really see, how peertube server are able to solve the issue, that peertube server need way bigger memory space than lemmy or mastodon. How would they able to fund this in a larger scale?
People will at some point need to realize that they have to donate and not pay a compulsory fee for products that are worth the money. It may not be apparent now but this is where the world is heading. When Youtube Premium also starts having ads and there’s a higher tier for no ads then things will start moving and fast.
I don’t believe you are right with that. If popular websites have more ads, we just see more ad blocker. I donate for my Mastodon and Lemmy server, but the vast majority of people will never pay for something like peertube, i just don’t believe that.
PeerTube makes way, way more sense as a self-hosting platform for small and medium sized creators. That means the creators shoulder the burden of hosting their own content, and recoup those costs from their viewers via such vectors as Patreon. Having Patreon integration, direct one-time donation options, and user access levels for channels and/or videos so that subscriber-only content can be easily managed would go a long way towards this.
The Fediverse’s current model of “donate to your serve admin using a completely disconnected 3rd party payment processor” isn’t going to fly if you want actual popular anndprofrsional video content. Especially when the server admin is not the content creator.
Yes that is the big issue with this video platforms. Video streaming is a demanding task. And I can’t even imagine how much storage would we need to have something remotely similar to YouTube. Google was able to run YouTube because it had free money coming in , now the funds are drying up so more ads coming their way.
I finished Quake 2: Call of the Machine. It’s definitely my favorite of the Machine Games campaigns, for Quake 1 and 2, and probably my favorite Quake campaign in general. It’s still the same formula as the others, a hub that connects a bunch of different levels, where you need to collect items to unlock the final boss. This campaign is a bit more challenging than the other Q2 ones, but not that hard. It’s also not as confusing, so that’s a plus for me as well. I think I’ll skip Quake 64 and Quake 2 64, since they seem to just be kind of remixes of the PC game. I’d rather play Doom 64, since that’s a whole different game.
While I was waiting for the Quake 2 patch the past few weeks, I tried out Wolfenstein 3D and finished the first episode, but it was kinda boring. This week I played through the second episode and it’s pretty much the same. I think the game is a bit too basic for me. It’s crazy that Doom came out not even two years later and is just such a massive improvement. I’ll probably play through the third episode as well, just to kill Hitler, and then I’m done with the game. Since the Steam release just used Dosbox, I swapped that for the ECWolf source port, which has a few more modern features and QoL improvements.
I’m also done with Pillars of Eternity: The White March, the two expansions to the game. I wasn’t really that into it, but I knew if I didn’t play through them this week, I’d probably never do it. Taking that break for Divinity 2 just killed all my enthusiasm I still had for the game. There were some good moments, but I’m not a fan that this was just slotted in the middle of the base game. While you’re on the clock and deal with some world ending threat, you just take a few months off and do the same somewhere else. Still glad I can finally put this game down and eventually play Pillars 2.
Lastly, I started Pathfinder: Kingmaker. It’s my first time with the Pathfinder system, and I had a really tough time deciding on my character. In the end, I went with a Scaled Fist Monk, because I want to punch people. I’m still really early, I made it out of the tutorial yesterday and saved the merchant from the Bandits earlier today. I’ll take it slow for now and get used to everything.
I need to find a hat, backpack, and some shoes so I can hopefully survive fighting a genetically engendered duck with the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the grim reaper, and a noodle bowl…
Assassin’s Creed Mirage. It’s refreshing to have the game be about stealth again, after years of just hack-and-slash. Yeah, there’s nothing really new here, but that’s kinda the point.
Diablo IV is on the backburner. I finally hit level 100 last week and have only two trophies remaining: Get 5 PvP kills (I have 2; other players aren’t easy to just stumble upon, especially those I can easily beat) and Defeat Uber Lilith (which I’m not going to be able to do by myself and coordinating with other players is not something I want to put any effort into doing).
I want an alternative to youtube as much as anyone, but I just don’t see how peertube can be viable in a world where child abuse materials and nazi propaganda exist and can be posted there.
I mean, at least as of when I last looked at peertube, it works sort of like torrenting does, yeah? But it doesn’t require you to whitelist the channels or instances you seed. Therefore: random people are going to end up seeding child abuse materials, revenge porn, hate screed videos, and so on, unknowingly and without intending to.
Lemmy already has had issues with child abuse materials because of federation and poor moderation tools. An image will get posted on one instance, then it automatically gets copied to other instances, and even if the original instances delete the image that doesn’t automatically delete it off other instances. Admins have to manually contact other admins, who then each have go in and painstakingly delete it manually, and that’s if all those different admins see and respond to the message. This is a problem that has been growing as lemmy gets bigger and more popular. And this is just with instance hosts - with peertube, you have individuals seeding/contributing to the hosting.
So it seems to me that peertube as it is involves a degree of moral and legal (since people can and have been deemed legally responsible for seeding torrents before) risk that is just not worth it a compared to the privacy-invading but blessedly safe option of youtube.
And even if individuals decided that risk was fine, advertisers absolutely won’t, which makes the platform a no-go for channels that depend on ads rather than patreon or merch for their livelihoods.
I’ll be happy if there’s a reliable way around this problem that doesn’t completely break the mechanism whereby peertube is supposed to work, but as of now I can’t see one.
I’m dealing with a thumb injury, so I can only play games that don’t require a gamepad, so I’ve been playing a lot of Vampire Survivors. I’ve unlocked almost everything, now, and the game’s become really easy with a zillion gold eggs upgrading everything and the ability to lock out all the “bad” weapons, so I was looking for something new to play.
I just started Spelunky again, but this time with keyboard controls on the home row only. It’s a bit of a mind bender and I’m constantly hitting the wrong keys, but I’m slowly getting it. I think this might be really good for me, in the long term; controlling games with HR only will greatly reduce fatigue and risk of RSIs.
Diablo 4 - I finally finished out Season 1 early last week and have been taking a break before Season 2. I technically have two objectives left, but there's no way I was getting to level 100 before the 17th. I'm hoping the new patch for Season 2 fixes that. TBH the only reason I got the last task for all the rewards is because I was invited to a random party to run Nightmare Dungeons. I felt so bad because they were leveled way higher than I was, so I kept dying, but they didn't kick me, and I'm grateful for that. I feel like I'm the only one, but I can't wait to see what they do for Season Two.
Metro: Last Light - I fucking forgot about the catacombs and how much I hate going through them. Fuck Nosalises. Fuck Big Momma. There's always that one level in a great game that absolutely sucks, and that is the catacombs level for me in Last Light. Even though I did do better that I thought I would, I still hate that level. But I got my Kalash 2012 like I wanted, so whatever lol. Also I love Anna. I've always loved Anna, but I fall in love again everytime I play this game. Just like Artyom, I guess. Still haven't finished the game though, since I haven't had a bunch of time to myself over this weekend, but I'm hoping I'll finish up in the next two or three days.
Could have been DayZ too but imo, only zomboid truly delivers on that sentiment of struggling to survive in a zombie apocalypse.
DayZ kinda does too but on most servers it feels like it’s mostly about surviving societal collapse in a region where guns and ammo are way more abundant than other resources and survivors have very few reasons to trust each other
Digimon cyber sleuth. I guess it really depends in what position I would be in in the world but overall it seems like a jackpot. I get to capture and battle with digimons and there’s an actual virtual reality world to travel to. Sweet.
