DSL TC Showcases / Re: Helloface's horrible realistic showcase

obvious sarcasm is obvious
Just because it's IRL is not an excuse to build with terrible extender work and inefficient parts.
Have you check DSL-S extender work lately?  It's nothing but carbon fibers.  Nobody ever touch aluminium extenders and up in DSL-S.  In IRL you need at least aluminium + 2 additional deco extenders in a triangle.

Not to mention those "single side normal teeth".

You DO NOT need to learn DSL-S to know how to build IRL.  In fact you should forget everything about DSL-S when building IRL.

A single extender like that is going to snap like a twig IRL.

The extenders need to be strong enough to handle it's own blade's impact.  Triangular shapes are often used to transfer some force from tension into compression.

If it's any consolation to him, Youtube ad revenue is a bubble, and anyone who makes Youtube videos their full time job is a fool.
Who cares about a bubble when you are making money right now?  This isn't a stock where you will lose everything you put in.  You can just transfer your E-popularity elsewhere when the time comes.  That's why they all have a facebook, a twit, and will continue to hop to the latest social media platform.  When shrinking ad revenue leads to the inevitable web 2.0 collapse, every online business would be screwed.  It doesn't mean it will happen in the near future or you can't make good money before that.

Point is, every business opportunity changes over time, especially with technology.  You survive by keeping up with the trend.

You will think that, but the jealousy is real.

When the popularity contest involves money (or potential money), people gets jealous of everyone who seem to be getting more than you for less work.  And yes he is probably very jealousy of those up top as well, he just can't afford to rant about it publicly without drawing a bullseye on himself.

Why do we care? It's pretty foolish to believe you can make much money off of views at the moments anyway for gaming stuff, since there are so many well established people (TotalBiscuit, Nerdcubed, Zero Punctuation, Pewdiepie) who will realistically get most of your audience. Talk about not focusing on the actual problem.
You clearly have no idea how the online popularity game works.

You go trash the popular people, and your channel will be trolled to hell.  You trash "girl gamers", and you get views/subs and get away with it.  Do you know his first video rant alone has 53,209 views ($175), and all 4 adds to 98739 views ($325.83)?  You call that not making much money for some stupid rant?  You are the only fool here.

Yup, and if one of those gamer girls have any technical savvy, they will know how to insert a cleavage frame into the preview.  Easy 100k views ($330) right there.

Admit it, there were at least once you click on a youtube video without even reading the title because you saw a chick in the preview.

YouTube start paying after when your video got 1 million views if you are the YouTube partner. Here is the schedule payout of YouTube:

$ 0.0033/1 view
$ 3/1,000 view
$33/ 10,000 views
$330/ 100,000 views
$3300/ 1,000,000 views

First of all collect 1 million views and be partner with you tube. Then you should start your video earning.
 

Yes, people who can pump out video daily with 50,000 views are actually getting a stable income of $165 dollars per day.

I am just giving context to what that guy's jealous of.

Oh, so this is about Youtube Subscriptions or something?
Yeah something that doesn't matter.
Of course it does, we are dealing with real money here.  For some people youtube is a job.

It was the same thing among the MLP Tumblr artists.

Popularity contest, especially when money is involved (and boy did this guy repeat himself when it comes to money), leads to a lot of jealousy.  Some just can't stop talking about how much followers they have, how much they should have, how who deserve and doesn't deserve their followers, bababa, dramas dramas everywhere.

I think he secretly gets off to these "girl gamers" he bashes, people this defensive usually have something to hide.  Oh and I forgot to mention the Friend Fallacy, he's guilty of that in both videos. (that is to say "My girlfriend is a girl gamer, therefore I'm not being sexist when I talk about them")
Or it can be genuine hate, intolerance, or jealousy.

I just don't buy the whole "something to hide" argument.  It just seem like some college liberal nonsense that never holds up.

In here he is just whining about "oh I do so much real gaming, but look at those girls!  All they have to do is play 1 game, show some cleavage and get more money than me".  At one points he's even screaming "don't sub them, if you do you are a loser!  Sub me instead!"

People don't respond because you don't show anything.  If you want to keep everything you find to yourself and make a showcase that doesn't show, what do you expect people to say?

But you are probably right about the "whole forum is against you" thing.

So basically this dude is complaining because he is JEALOUS?

A rookie archer draws his bow. He fires the arrow and misses the target completely. He picks up another arrow and fires again. Bulls-eye.

I'm going to steal your analogy for a bit and repurpose it.

If the rookie archer is a male, nobody would ever suggest that he missed the target because of his sex/gender. The same cannot be said for a female archer. Because she's a female, people automatically assume that she is inferior at archery. If she nailed it on the first try, she would get comments like, "She's pretty good, for a chick." Male privilege is a real thing, whether you realize it or not. (Just as white privilege is a real thing.)
Of course male privilege is a real thing.  At least I can walk down the street with no worries that I will get raped.

But female (particularly attractive ones) also have privileges that males don't have.  Like in this case, talk about a game you barely played, show some boobs and a pretty face, bam instant subs and money.  Of course, if you are an ugly woman, then you get the worst of both worlds.

Besides, it's so easily to hide your gender online that the only reason people will judge you based on it is when you decide to share it yourself.

Thanks.  Here's the bot file in bot exchange

While I build this in NAR3, it should run on DSL3 as well.

1. What's the average time it takes you to build a robot?
Around 6 hours for DSL and maybe and entire day for Stock.
Lol someone here actually takes longer than me to build something.

1.  Average
Stuff I don't care about, 20 - 40 minutes
Stuff I care about, 5+ hours.

2/3.  Difficult?  Nope.  Time consuming?  Yes.  And the most time consuming thing so far is the last BOTM.

Also whenever the wedge AGOD and I have to shuffle the component order around until I find one that works.

They generate such a massive amount of power because of the force produced by the compressed air they use to fire the flippers, burst motors can never really compare without havoking unfortunately because of the massive amount of force required to mimic a real pneumatics system.
It's fairly easy to make one that can shoot the other bot to the ceiling without havoking.  You  just have to know how to mess with the GMF.

Don't use mainstream social media and not expect it to be seen by EVERYONE.  Use a VPN/Tor and don't post personal info online.

While you can hide the source, no content posted on the internet are ever private.  People who don't already know they are being watch by government/private information gathering company online before the leak needs a serious reality check.  The only thing that keeps them from monitoring everything is screening cost.  In 20 years when self recognition program matures, you might as well forget internet privacy ever existed.
