    I’ve heard that it went from being embarrassingly bad to actually really good. Is there a good video that can elaborate on that for me?

        The apparent plagiarizing that Internet Historian does is upsetting

            Whoa, lol, what is this a reference to?? Holy shit! 🤣🤣🤣 Don’t tell me it’s just more youtube drama? Jesus, so many intense opinions about the guy. I had no idea he had garnered such a bizarre reputation. And to think, I’ve been wasting all this time watching his videos twice a year and then getting the fuck on with my life. I guess meta truly will never be not cringe. Lol. Seriously though, what are referencing? Is there some subliminal propaganda sewn throughout his videos that I’m just too dense to pick up on? 😂

              If you don’t know what its in reference to, that’s the point.

              that I’m just too dense to pick up on?

              Not subliminal, but apparently you are too dense to pick up on it yeah.

                Lol, a link to a sub literally called youtubedrama. So yes, YouTube meta bullshit. But since you’ve already roped me in, assuming this is all true, that’s fucked up.

                Also, you can be informative without being rude, that would have been appreciated so maybe have a little patience next time.

                  I mean… you weren’t particularly nice in our thread. I get that hearing this sort of news about a favorite content creator is difficult, and the natural reaction is to be defensive and abrasive. I think many of us have been there.

                    I didn’t attack you, I was being hyperbolic, and I was just reacting to the extremity of the accusation. I don’t think his videos portray the message that the reddit post accused him of. Not defending him or denying the accusations. I couldn’t care less about the guy. From my point of view, he is every kid on the internet pre-y2k. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              Lol, I mean, okay, sure. Not very significant though. First, I would never have read that article. Second, telling stories chronologically is only a new concept to Quenton Tarantino, the rest of humanity kind of defaults to that. Third, I don’t watch IH for his fact based reporting, I don’t care if he just read the entire article verbatim and I could care even less if he just made it all up. I think he is good at humor and shitty animations and neither of those are even remotely represented in the OC. So sure, if you say he’s a plagiarist, I won’t defend it, but maybe you’re going to the wrong place if you’re going to IH for original and reliable “information”.

              Lol, I think hbomb needs to get some perspective. He could easily argue that “bIg MoNeY sAlViA lItErAlLy StEaLs OtHeR pEoPlE’s CoNtEnT” and he would be 100% simultaneously correct and useless.

                Why wouldn’t IH just properly reference the article and make clear that the animation was based off it? IH ripped the article off in it’s entirety, made a crazy popular video and money off of an author’s work, and that’s obviously not ok.

                Stealing content just… isn’t ok. It’s a shitty look for IH

                  Yeah, a reference would have been nice, sure. But I still think the people that watched that video are NOT interested in reading a longer, unfunny version of stories about dumb people. Conversely, if you were trying to research this story specifically and your source was this video, then maybe the bottom of a cave is the right place for you. Lol. His images are just ripped off stock photos too. So I suppose nothing he does is truly original. Yet at the same time, there is no one like him on YouTube that has the same appeal. So I would say, if you watch his video and then read the article, would you have the same experience? Probably not. He did transform the content. But enough so for you? That’s up to the beholder. So again, sure he stole someone’s article and they had YouTube remove it. I guess the system works. And I still don’t care. He’s neither a journalist nor a researcher so who cares? What a weird battle to fight. The fact that anyone has an opinion this intense about something so dumb is just baffling, let alone enough to make a video about it. I still think hbomb needs to chill the fuck out. It’s just not that serious, and YouTube has already taken action. So who are you carrying the torch for? You know what’s more entertaining than hbomber “taking down” Internet Historian? Any Internet Historian video. I do find it hilarious that his most popular video is the one about IH. So who is milking who here? 😂 I’m just fucking around. You’re absolutely right. But it just means nothing to me. I’m sure I’m not alone.

      They’ve added so much since launch. Entirely new systems from base and ship building to full questlines. The new update improved the world generation and hoo boy is it pretty. I will say the amount of pollen on some the planets is melting my GPU.

        Like actual net code, which the devs falsely claimed was in at launch?

              There needs to be a full story for people who forgot / weren’t interested in the game. The devs said there is multiplayer and you can meet but you won’t since the game is so large. A day after release or so, two players “met”. The planet had a different time - day for one, night for other. They couldn’t see each other. There was no interaction possible, there just wasn’t any netcode at that point. Of course the devs then ran with the story screaming “omg people already met up! Amazing!”.

              It wasn’t, but it was added I think back in 2017 or 18, so at least 6 years being able to play multiplayer. Not that it really matters, aside from base building, the game doesn’t feel better when played with a buddy or a rando.

          Runs fine on Steamdeck. It does chug battery life from a fire hose.
