    Why post shitty gizmodo instead of the actual video? You’re just linking to a middleman who is widely known as being shit.

      I appreciate the copy. Video is so over used and so YouTube / google centric. Text can be more succinct, easier to navigate, and uses less bandwidth. Beneficial use cases for video certainly exist, but the format is severely overused.

      Speaking of video, I have great nostalgia for the minds eye series. Great clips and soundtracks.

      Edit: for a video version of this comment check out my YouTube stream, you won’t believe what happens next! L/S!!

        Yes, I don’t like the trend. “We put a laserdisc under a microscope and you won’t believe what happened”

        20 min video

        100% chance I’m not clicking.

        But I might click it now after seeing some pictures and write up.

      Because video sucks 99% of the time it’s used.

      It feels like video is used only to enable illiterates.
