RIP to a real one, hope they get their hands off his penis where ever he is now.

For me personally, Velious was the last expansion that still felt like "classic" EverQuest. Luclin introduced some pretty significant changes such as The Nexus and The Bazaar, that for me really impacted how the game world felt. If Quarm is just up to Kunark then it would definitely be worth playing there as well.

If you're going to cherry pick one of his movies to make some sort of point you could at least pick his lowest rated film (Space Jam: A New Legacy). Most of Coogler's films score well with both critics and audiences so I think it's fine to wait and see before getting too excited.

I'm sure there are niche users for who paying the price of admission is acceptable, but for myself and I assume a vast number of other users, when I'm comparing performance of hardware I'm already checking reviews on multiple other sites, so this will only mean I don't bother to check their site.

I haven't visited their site in a long time though, so I'm not sure what value-adds they offered that might make the price more palatable.

Glad you enjoyed it, there's some wild stories he has covered. Another favourite of a similar vein is the multipart episode on the early Xbox hacking scene: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/45/

Anyone interested in diving deep into the rabbit hole on Team Xecuter and Gary, I highly recommend the Darknet Diaries episode in which Jack interviews Gary and goes through the history.

A couple of random suggestions:

Summoning Salt - Video essays detailing world record speedrun history across a variety of games. Videos are easy to understand and assume you aren't intimately familiar with the games in question. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i1AHCaokqhg

RRC Restorations - A Scottish bloke that does really in depth restorations of mostly cars and motorcycles, very relaxing and a joy to watch without any flashy filter. Just a super talented guy doing cool things in his little workshop. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JJSjy4OciLs

Motion in Art - Film essays similar to some of your other favourites that might be of interest.

Art Deco - Analysis, investigation and explanation of art, including the history and context in which paintings were made, themes and motifs, and details that you almost certainly missed when looking at art as a layperson. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m3hM6Qw8Nf4

Fredrik Knudsen - Making the series Down The Rabbithole, which are dives into a variety of topics, including tech and history. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UCgoxQCf5Jg

Lemmino - Video essays on conspiracies and mysteries, all are very interesting and worth watching. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5u7euN1HTuU

If your smart tv is android based you can try side loading Smart Tube, which integrates ad block, sponsor block and a whole pile of QoL settings you can tweak to suit you.

Interested to see where that data comes from, as looking at the lifetime emissions of an EV vs an ICE vehicle inclusive of fuel EVs are generally significantly lower emissions. If you're only considering the emissions associated with the manufacture of the vehicles, EVs do result in more GHG, but very quickly once both vehicles are actually in use the benefits of EVs become apparent.
