  • My guess is because a linter and/or HLS was suggesting it. I know HLS used to suggest making your fields strict in almost all cases. In this case I have a hunch that it slightly cuts down on memory usage because we use almost all Muls either way. So it does not need to keep the string it is parsed from in memory as part of the thunk.

    But it probably makes a small/negligible difference here.












  • Hey. I realize this post is 5 months olf so probably not relevant anymore… But I wanna say that the setting sounds really cool for the campaign. I would like to find out more about the story of the setting, so if you’d still want to run at least one session then I’d like to join in for at least a session if that’s fine. If you do still look for a player do know that I am relatively new to D&D and TTRPGs in general, only played a few one-shots.

    Also, this whole post was a great read, even if not an uplifting one. Unfortunately, I cannot contribute at all about who I think was in the right and who wasn’t, I don’t like making a judgement when hearing a story from one person’s perspective. Sorry about that.


  • I think the baseline of what I would want is:

    • Have actual moderation of the ads. Don’t allow malware ads, don’t allow porn ads etc
    • Don’t allow obtrusive ads, or at least categorize them and have preferences. Do NOT play my ads 2x the volume of whatever I was watching.
    • Don’t interrupt my video with ads. Play before or after. Ideally after, but I can see why that would not be feasible. I guess it is also feasable if the creator marks ad breaks, like the current-day sponsor segments.

    I genuinely think Youtube premium is alrightish as it is. I wouldn’t pay for it; though, since I do not want to give my money to Google. They are getting enough out of me that I don’t want to give them.

    I honestly just want the alternatives, like PeerTube, to have a funding model, which allows creators to get paid. Donations? Sure. Optionally ads? Sure. I think peertube having opt-in ads that go to the creator would go a long way.
