Does anyone else reflexively recoil from videos with that kind of thumbnail? This could be the best game in the world and that kind of stupid face and hyperbolic text sends it right to my brain’s spam folder.
Yeah. There’s zero chance I would have clicked this video if it had shown up in my recommendations. I clicked it from the description of the MCDM video, where thumbnails have no power.
absolutely. The hardest thing about using youtube now is the thumbnail cringe and the constant asking you to log in.
I can’t imagine using YouTube not logged in. I used my Subscriptions and Watch Later tabs religiously.
For the thumbnails, there’s DeArrow. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem quite as popular as its creators other crowd-sourced YouTube improving extension: SponsorBlock. (Both are supported by ReVanced, if you’re on Android.) But that mainly matters for titles, iirc, with thumbnails being automatically taken from a random frame of the video.
I run it mostly as background from my fire stick if im not streaming something else as background.
I’m not super sure about a fire stick, but isn’t it Android-based? So you should in theory be able to run ReVanced on it?
amazon locks it down to their app store and its a bit harder to manually mess around with although I have not really bothered. its a convenience thing for not really important things and it was a super cheap impulse buy from years back. I check the app store for stuff but they really just have corpo crap by and large.
It’s a good video. Matt Colville (design director) even recommended it in his video.
I’ve been following the game for several years. It’s got a lot of cool stuff. I’ve convinced some friends to try it out next week.

Looks like they only sell direct and do not support flgs, hard pass.
We also have great deals for FLGS if they contact us directly at hello@mcdm.shop
Nothing on their website, nothing in their backer kit for retailers, not in distribution. I should not have to go to Reddit to find out if they support flgs or not.
I mean, sure? You’re presumably not an FLGS though, so you wouldn’t be the intended audience to learn that. Like, what would you expect, a page on their website that says “oh btw, we also support local game stores”?
Where did you even find the information that you based your first comment on? What place said “MCDM doesn’t support local game stores”?
You’re presumably not an FLGS though, so you wouldn’t be the intended audience to learn that.
I am a flgs owner. So I am the intended audience.
Like, what would you expect, a page on their website that says “oh btw, we also support local game stores”?
Yes, a lot of companies have a retailer page, especially companies that do not use a distributor. It directs retailers to contact their retail support, or lists their distributors, or has a link to their retailer web shop.
Where did you even find the information that you based your first comment on?
No retailer page. No retailer level on their crowd funding. No products in distribution. No contact info for retailers. No response to web form inquiring about retailer sales.
No retailer level on their crowd funding.
That seems a really weird thing to ask for. It’s crowd funding. It’s not supposed to be structured like a formal established business venture. In fact I’d be suspicious of any crowd funding campaign that did already have talk about retailers.
No response to web form inquiring about retailer sales.
Were you expecting a response in the absolute maximum 6 hours between me posting this video and you leaving your comment? (Assuming you saw my post, viewed it, and then contacted them the instant I posted it.)
I think you’re expecting a very small company to be behaving like a large established one like Hasbro. And that’s just not a reasonable expectation to have. You can contact them at the retail info address they’ve shared, or don’t. It’s up to you. Bitching about it on Lemmy is hardly productive, especially when they’ve given every indication that they try to do the right thing at every turn. (Compare: their open licensing rules to the highly restrictive ones being imposed by another post-OGL upstart in Daggerheart.) It took me very little effort to find their stance on local game stores. If you actually cared, you could have put in the same effort in less time than you’ve already spent having this conversation.
Were you expecting a response in the absolute maximum 6 hours between me posting this video and you leaving your comment?
No, but I was expecting a response in the several months since I filled out their web contact form (not the email address you linked).
Oh, so you came into this post to leave a comment not based on what was in the content of this post, but just because you had something unrelated to this post that you had already decided was fact, despite it not being true and being verifiably not true within 60 seconds?
