Kid just SMOKED a CNN reporter outside of Artemis II launch: CNN: "Why do you want to be here?... Why do you love being a part of history? Kid: "We're going back to the f*cking moon, that's why!" 🤣

For the first time since... beginning MMOByte, my first channel, back in 2016, I'm genuinely planning on stepping back from MMOs. This is not an April Fools joke, despite the day it falls on. Mrs Stix and I have been contemplating this for months. I did a video covering it (which I'll attach in a reply if you're interested,) but I've just seen irreparable damage done to the genre and it's in a state I don't see much future with. Every year we have a few incredible MMOs announced, and then they either end up canceled, becoming mobile games, or failing to live up to our expectations because they're just another soulless grind filled with pay to win. Blue Protocol Star Resonance has no content. Ashes of Creation is a scam. ArcheAge 2 is going to suffer in the same way ArcheAge 1 did, and is going less of an MMO route. Chrono Odyssey did so much damage to their reputation, I can't see them every living up to any form of hype. The Riot MMO is in a black hole with more staffing being assigned and quitting than any other game in recent memory. I'm sick of covering the same few games, pushing out the same content, regurgitating the same "is X MMO worth playing in X year" videos just to keep the channel afloat, while hyping games that are going to continue to suck. "Stepping back" doesn't mean quitting. But our channel, MMOByte, is going to rebrand in the next few days, with a renewed focus and passion on games we've grown to love in the absence of new MMOs: Survival games, Multiplayer games, RPGs, JRPGs. Upcoming, new and old. Both of us are more excited than ever, and have so many video ideas, which is something we haven't had in a long time. I have my Gacha channel, and I enjoy every minute of it. I'm incredibly passionate about Gacha games now, because they've grown so much over the years, which is the exact polar opposite of the MMO genre. So I have no plans of changing my Stix channel. But I think my MMO channel... requires this change. On a deep, emotional and personal level. And I cannot wait to take it in that new direction. We may have lost dozens of subscribers since announcing this, and again, I will continue to cover every new MMO announcement, but this allows me to do so much more, while not being stuck in the stagnant genre that is MMORPGs. I hope to see you all there, both on the new rebranded MMOByte channel, and continuing with my Stix Gacha channel! <3 I appreciate every opportunity I've had in MMOs, and every viewer I've earned. But this is necessary.

Jaden Ivey spoke truth: Pride month is a month to celebrate unrighteousness. Other athletes are allowed to say disgusting drivel with no repercussions, but basic Christian doctrine is considered beyond the pale

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
