So this is what happens when you stream a game nowadays. That’s all “detected” in-game music. And since Brütal Legend is all about Metal, garnished with gore and swearing, streaming it without would be… I dunno… like being a deaf person in a disco I guess.

The funniest one was Facebook. The part where the game glitched out early and played an endless loop of music for 45s got flagged and the stream instantly killed. Fat chance disputing that.

The best part? This is supposed to be under a CC-Non Commercial license – I am not monetizing any of this _at all_ but that doesn’t save me from ridiculous claims. Google as of today lists ~33.600 videos just on this game. How the hell is anyone out there making Let’s Plays or – *gasp* – actual music nowadays?

I can totally see how people flock to the video in masses instead of buying some gorram track on Amazon or Spotify just to listen to that endless loop for 45 seconds – my swearing and some hacking and slaying included.

Brütal Legend by Double Fine – now isn’t that ironic.

10/0 – Good game. Won’t stream it again.

Himmel, Arsch und Zwirn, wie kann eine Partei sich nur an allen Fronten derart unwürdig und weltfremd aufführen? Erde an CDU: Ihr habt da ein Problem mit 9 Buchstaben beginnend mit _K_!

I'm now a true convert after using a Vertical Mouse by Liam DaweLiam Dawe (gamingonlinux.com)
After using traditional PC mouse for most of my computing life, I decided to finally see what all the fuss was about with a Vertical Mouse and I'm sold. I've been through a lot of mice over the years from cheap stuff with no branding, to the "gamer" stuff full of RGB lighting and more. Not only that...

Welcome to team Vertical, Liam 😀

Did basically the same some years ago. I also had the choice between CSL and Anker for starting out and read that they are basically the same. After some weeks of getting used to this I noticed that my always sour wrist would feel a lot better. I didn’t like how light the Anker feels tho (and I smashed it all over the table on various occasions due to the unusual height).

Eventually I settled with an Autley, that is a somewhat heaver and a lot larger, fitting my hands better. The internal batteries can be recharged via micro USB connector (and also operated while charging) and can go for days. I’m very very happy with that model.

This one has some really weird plastic tho that sometimes feels very yuk and moist. No idea what this is. I guess the quest for the perfect Vertical will never end.
