Better Than META

@StevenMcinerney Savinho teasing that he’s finally capable of a similar ascendancy to Doku. 🤞

Incredibly City behaviour this on today of all days lol

@StevenMcinerney To be clear, Bournemouth were absolutely superb. This was never going to be an easy fixture. There were a couple of individual timid performances, Rodri being an unfortunate standout. We’re in a brilliant position to regroup and go again next season.

@StevenMcinerney Only a loon would have any regrets about Pep. But looking for a silver lining, tonight’s loss was one of those ones on Pep. (They do happen) Formation wasn’t right against their high fwd line and we took far too long to adjust with what was still a bit of an improvised change.

Knackered, in shock from the news, not good enough...whatever it was, this result wasn't really that surprising. I think most of us expected Bournemouth away to be incredibly hard for this City side. It's a really good City side, but there are clear weaknesses and we just don't have *it* yet. Maybe Pep is right and it is the time for new energy and ideas. It's normal, I guess.

@TheTacticalBrit Rome had many Caesars…

Glad to see City come to an end. The 115, Pep leaving, finally seeing that era hopefully come to an end.

@GeronimoMorgans Taking a step back to live in the moment and appreciate it. The lad is winning amongst his generation mentally as well as professionally. 🫡

@l3UCK3Y3 Some nice watch hours on that bad boy! 👊

Words can’t describe how good this feels that something I did is really working. It’s a lot of work to make these but it’s all worth it. The first non-settings gaming video to actually catch some momentum and it’s not slowing down. Next one will be ready by Monday!

The Monster Director showed off Kalei’s DM nearly 3 years ago asking for a partnership She’s now officially signed with Monster🔥

@geekypastimes @Pringles_UK …Or it’s a worrying indication as to how much of the flavour in an actual BK burger comes from the additives! 🤔😅

These crisps are some kind of black magic - they taste EXACTLY like a Burger King Cheeseburger. This is some Willy Wonka stuff you've done here @Pringles_UK

@Sighteyy Editing is a valuable skill that can bring quality and a lot of time-saving. High quality edits should attract a decent fee. But like anything expensive, that doesn’t mean everyone can justify it. At your price point you’re just pricing out new creators, but that can be ok.

This is going to be personal but genuinely curious what yall think… As an editor I charged for long form full edited video $130-150. Multi POV I’d add (ofc it video was SUPER SIMPLE STUFF I’d discount it) short form $35-$50 depending on what was needed like cutting full game footage etc. Each time I get reached out to I always get ghosted after I list it. Are my prices to high? I mean I know I deliver hella quality edits / timely services. Curious what other creatives think

@jaffainc @TheTacticalBrit Word is his support of Chelsea is what’s single-handedly taking them down 😅

@TheTacticalBrit 🤣🤣🤣 the Lachy curse strikes again

Southampton. I'm applauding in my house.

@HusKerrs An out-of-body experience. 😆 That’s it’s. There’s three of you from that moment on. Forever. It’s bonkers.

Finally got around to learning the car seat with about a week left until he’s here 😅 It still doesn’t feel like it has fully hit me yet. Dads, what’s the feeling like when you see the baby for the first time?

@vidIQ Finding out they have copied/stolen other people’s content.

What is something that will make you INSTANTLY UNSUBSCRIBE from a creator/channel?

@MattLafff I might be way off, but as a viewer / invested YT nerd, to me it looks like other than a very small elite % of creators, views in FPS/TPS gaming are just generally down everywhere. Almost all channels I’m subbed to are in a 📉

Holy fuck it’s a tough time to be a Cod creator right now! Focusing back more on Arc content for now 🫡

@MattLafff I might be way off, but as a viewer / invested YT nerd, to me it looks like other than a very small elite % of creators, views in FPS/TPS gaming are just generally down everywhere. Almost all channels I’m subbed to are in a 📉 Cod absolutely taken a HUGE fall right now tho.

@nAnomaly97 @LoochyTV @ARCRaidersNews Totally feel what you’re saying. The situation you’re talking about is created by an inadequate ABMM weighting and an overly sensitive/fast switch between the polar friendly and hostile lobbies. Waaaay more of this game should be spent in the grey zone mixed lobbies.

@LoochyTV @ARCRaidersNews its always super annoying to get from pvp lobbys to pve lobbys again to do a farming session. Iam talking about the avarage player here. Yea you don't have to farm stuff if you are cracked. but not everyone is jobless and plays this game 24/7

Aleksander Grøndal, executive producer at Embark Studios, revealed that 30% of players mainly focus on PvP. According to figures he shared with The Guardian, roughly 30% stick to PvE, 30% go pure PvP, and 40% mix both. Solid split. Surprisingly, 95% of players in ARC Raiders use proximity chat — that's nearly every single player in the game.

@LoochyTV @ARCRaidersNews I wouldn’t take this interpretation of stats as gospel beyond the possibility of misinterpretation, BUT… it’s certainly leaning into the whole thing about those shouting the loudest on social media don’t necessarily represent the majority. …I’ll include YT comments in this!

@ARCRaidersNews So 70% of the player-base enjoys some level of PvP. Good to know! Because all the Reddit people seem to think its 90% PVE players 🤣

@Daniel_Batal Dingbat was a fairly common family-rated mild insult in the UK in the 80s-90s (Possibly earlier but I’m talking from personal experience and not a wiki page 😆)

Someone called me "D-bat" in my YouTube comments section and I can't stop laughing 🤣 It's about as close to "D-bag" as you can get. Of all the nicknames I've had, nobody has managed to put that one together before.

@JoeJiggilo @Reave While I kinda love this from MY P.O.V., I am still trying to be sensitive the the large uber-casual ARC fanbase and don’t want to completely alienate them. They would absolutely lose their s*** 😆😅

@BetterThanMETA_ @Reave In tarkov to combat naked runners they make the AI target you so they’ll literally just swarm you from all over the map to try and kill you if you load in w/o any gear and gun

this decline in playercount has nothing to do with the lack of updates but instead an issue with how the gameplay loop has evolved people fell in love with the first 1-2 month struggle of an extraction shooter and haven't been able to experience that since removing ABMM and forcing wipe is the solution

@all_outside @Reave It’s the fault of the overly zealous ABMM that causes this bizarre sense of over confidence and safety. It’s common that folks get too used to safety and (kind of understandably) feel betrayed when someone actually shoots at them.

@Reave Main problem is being shot in the back while looting by a rat with no footsteps audio. I've only been in 2 actual fights. (Both of which I won) its cheap, you loose all your shit, and after a while you just think fuck it and uninstall the game.

@Reave @JoeJiggilo IMO they need some sort of limit on free kit use because some folks will just continually spawn in, taking the L in exchange for the 1:10 raid big payday with no kit to trade. Naked run safe pockets HAVE to go. Absolutely final. Please.

@JoeJiggilo they've nerfed free kits for the last 3 patches kettle nerf, stitcher nerf paid kits get early spawn priority
