Nouweland got a reaction from JoaoPRSousa in Car Enthusiast Club [Now Motorcycle friendly!] - First thread to 150k! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For six years I had an account but never knew LTT had a car thread 🙂
So here is my 2008 2.0 NC with some mods on it, I have driven it a lot on Zandvoort where the F1 will be in two weeks! Cannot wait.

Nouweland got a reaction from hollyh88 in starfield, are you excited?
Very excited but also very cautious...
I have been disappointed by modern games a lot, BF was for me the biggest disappointing, I paid a lot for that game and since then I watch gameplay before buying after release because the videos from the devs themselves are not really a good representation of how I will experience a game.
And since there is so much hype around it, I feel like waiting till most reviews are in and then making the decision to buy 🙂
I really miss a Fallout/MassEffect kind of RPG singleplayer game, and I think this checks most boxes, but ill wait...

Nouweland got a reaction from Treksh in Madison reveals experiences working at LMG
I would like to add a counter-argument that Madison was pretty on edge in her first ROX reboot video.
She made "jokes" that were on the line of what's not okay for YouTube and even Linus corrected her a few times.
Was it fun to watch? Yes, but I keep asking myself if this is really a problem or did she engage in these things and now years trying the generate some controversy.
Sarah, Emily, and Maria are still working for LMG and we haven't heard anything from them.
If I started at a new job as a young girl and troll people, making sexual-themed jokes, laughing at Linus in he's underpants (yes that's in a video).
And coming back years later telling you it was such a pain you just lost all credibility. you should have quit that day or talked to HR or should have gone to the authorities...
LMG has no reason to engage in this discussion because it's an ex-employee and it might even be illegal to talk about that (I'm European).
But I don't think we need to take Madisonds claims as facts, if this really is an issue there should be a legal system to take care of this, if not these are just words on a social platform, and let's face it, how much information on social is factually true in the last years?
I think we should close this topic and wait it out, it only fuels the fire.

Nouweland got a reaction from inthebrilliantblue in Madison reveals experiences working at LMG
Yes, some parts are very true. I work with a lot of female workers because I'm in marketing and we have a great team.
But some are more loose than others, and that's my biggest issue.
Claiming you're one of the guys, making the same jokes and maybe even going to the limit yourself can happen, and I have seen it happen.
I'm not taking sides, or disagreeing with you. I'm just sharing a side that also exists.
Let's refresh our memory, ROG Reboot video in which Linus even corrected Maddison because she was going too far: 12:30...
What if she said that when working there and a male said "Yes you are", then shit hits the fan. But it could also be just plain fun.
There is no way of knowing if people don't communicate...
My issue is that Madison has a history of saying weird stuff and that's fine. And if she did not like that maybe she should have stopped saying things like "I'm sexy ..." Those are very mixed signals to say on the one hand you don't want to be treated like that but saying stuff like this.
To be honest, I liked Madison and if this never came out I would have still liked her, but to make these jokes yourself and now point the finger exactly at the same moment this shit show I find very distasteful.

Nouweland got a reaction from Mr. Rabbit in What do we do now?
I woke up today, saw a video, and the floodgates opened...
LMG made a lot of mistakes and I feel like they already knew this for a long time but only needed the time to implement changes, hire a new CEO, finish LTX ect.
It's not weird for a company to have some big changing events in their history and some are overdue.
Here are my thoughts if you're interested:
The hole Maddison's situation is hard to judge as an external person, but I feel like she herself was a pretty loose girl in their way of behaving. Linus even corrected her in the ROG video. If you behave a certain way it's not uncommon to be treated the same way. Usually, that's good, people find buddies at work that share the same humor and way of thinking, if two people share some dark humor that's fine. It's a mutual agreement, I think her timing says it all. She could have put this in the open way earlier and I wonder if Maria, Sarah, Emily, and Nicole feel the same way. If not you could argue that it's self-inflicted.
GamerNexus situations, hard to watch because Steve really showed some facts. Many of them I have also seen, mistakes in video edits in the comments etc. It hurts to see everything added to a list and realize how much was wrong and at this scale, you could say with some amount of certainty that people made choices based on that incorrect information... This should be corrected a.s.a.p. but if the video is any indication that is exactly what they are going to do.
TheWaterBlockFiasco, was really a shit show, no matter about the 2 business days, the fact that the block was sold was even for me a pretty chill guy a reason to fire someone. It's a prototype/concept that should have its own bin with CAREFUL on it, or return to person X to be handled because it has more value than a part you can buy in a shop. I feel Linus could have handled this better, it almost felt like you wanted to win some arguments about not selling it but donating the price for charity, and it only being two business days. But if this would have happened the other way around he would be furious... If the LTT concept screwdriver was sent to MKBHD, and not returned and sold off later to another company (maybe a competitor) I'm pretty sure someone gets sued. Just own the mistake and move on no one is happy about this lessons should have been learned by now.
The "What do we do now?" video, is overdue but has poor timing. This should have come out months ago. Now it seems (to me) that this was needed after the video of Steve. And it feels more like a reaction than actually something they have come up with themselves. Some jokes I would not have done but I get why to lighten up the mood somehow. Monetization is also an issue, but I get that a company that's about the stop one week of production needs the revenue so there is that... My overall opinion is that this was inevitable because the company grew too fast, (not that that is a bad thing) but you need to be very alert at that speed.
And I feel like the release schedule was the biggest issue like many said in the interview video. Less time for producing and checking content.
I just hope they really take the time to reflect, look back, and solve a lot. Don't forget that almost every company has moments like these.
Nothing will be always perfect like a relationship, the issue with LMG is that it's a media company and everything gets zoomed in.
If this would have happened at any other non-media company the "pain" so to speak would have been a lot less and manny would not have noticed it anyway. So take that into consideration when writhing something about people. Cheers and hope to see everyone back soon in better shape.

Nouweland reacted to SuperGnu in What do we do now?
"future builds" which means exposure, not a gift they could do whatever the hell they wanted with.
They wanted it to be showcased, when it was not they wanted it back asap. Not all the review items are keepers. Most items you see AMD, NVIDIA etc send out is showcases that they have a limited time with and then send back.
Same deal here.
And they never sent it back, they sold it, sorry, auctioned it.
LTT are 100% in the wrong. BL not so much.

Nouweland got a reaction from Ben17 in Whats up with all the accounts on here that are only a day or two old?
That, my account is 6 years old watching for 12 years but only now found a reason to really join a discussion.
I feel like manny people would like to share their opinion, YouTube comments are pretty much impossible to have a normal conversation. Floatplane might be too biased because of the paywall so the forum/Reddit is left.

Nouweland got a reaction from IntMD in Graphic Card Memory Price Spike

Nouweland reacted to IntMD in Graphic Card Memory Price Spike
Black superclocked one is pretty cheap compared to those prices, in the UK at least. Pretty sure scan would deliver to the Netherlands too. Works out to about €400.00 for the SC black. So unless you want one of those specific ones, it might be worth a look.
