    I created a 30 second clip about counterintuitive traffic principles in 30 seconds.
  • I wouldn't put too much stock in what they say, the clip is fine and I can't find anything disagreeable about the voice. I think this user is just upset at YouTube, not your content. Good work on this :)

  • HyRule Lore
  • Sorry, wherever I saved this from had already cropped out the artist signature :(

  • What are some good games that have a bad reputation due to unreasonable expectations?
  • Definitely No Man's Sky

    It was bad at launch, sure, but the expectations of the game were way outta proportion to what a game could deliver on

  • Laptop DIY
  • I would use some kind of CAD software to design a backplate, making sure to add things like physical supports with screwholes that match your motherboard's mount points and vents at the right spots. You can get things like that 3-D printed, would be an inexpensive way to prototype it :)

  • Immediately after, every single ISP in my area introduced "data caps". If I use more than 1TB of total data in a month, they charge exorbitant fees. Fortunately, you can pay to remove these caps! ...for nearly twice the monthly price.

    A friend recommended these for me, as a good pair to wear while out biking. I saw on Reddit, though, that they got delisted from Amazon for farming fake reviews.
