I noticed it on Chrome. Since removing Flash and using a different browser, it seems to have stopped. Youtube videos still work though, but I have to use my phone for Twitch now.

Hmm. Maybe a little bonus from Google on Chrome browsers? Haven't noticed it on Firefox, I just switched to Chrome like 2 days ago.

So I went over and tested and noticed that does the same to me

Or just stop using Chrome. Your resources will thank you.
I have 32GB of RAM, so Chrome is the LEAST of my worries. (Un-used RAM is wasted RAM, afterall) Photoshop gobbles that shit down like it will never be on sale ever again. And Chrome's RAM usage has been reduced significantly in a recent build.

I usually only check new videos to the channels I'm subscribed to so clickbait videos or not, it's not a concern I'd bother with.

Doesn't work for me, though I have flash off and tons of anti script things on.

I just noticed this, when I hovered over a video and it twitched. Then kept my mouse on it and it played a short part of the video. Anyone noticed this?
I haven't noticed any difference, but I actually already had a feature very similar to this since I use Youtube Center. Though that only shows a slideshow of a few still frames of the video, it's still very useful.

Latest Chrome here, and no previews for me either.
This I suppose would be useful for those assholes that pretend to upload a full episode of a show, just to plug you to a bullshit site full of spam and ads so they can cash in and infect your PC.

Porn did it first

But yeah it can be somewhat useful on youtube too, though if it has a clickbait title I simply wont give it another view.
It's useful when i'm looking for specific clips from things though and don't have to click into every damn video.

I only just recently noticed it doing that, though.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Sorry didnt read that part
