Bluesky screenshot showcasing a new feature - Alt text viewer on videos. Every video with an alt text now has an "ALT" button in the top right corner, where pressing it brings up "Alt Text" window.

Pasting being the least tedious one, but far from perfect. The Alt Text in question shows: "Extermination for PlayStation 2 fan trailer for an upcoming walkthrough premiere.

YouTube notification screenshot for a comment under the video of Resident Evil 6 Piers In-Depth Walkthrough [No Damage, Partial]. The highlighted comment is of @EvilDaveResidentEvil 6 hours ago (edited) This run isn't valid. Using another player as a human shield to make the dirty work for you is one of the reasons. He received damage several times and there were times where you just stood there and send him out to receive the damage for you. No Damage runs are done solo by the way. Also, your aiming is terrible, as usual. This never changed, "old friend". Oh, now that i am here in your channel, let me tell something to all the people that follows you: Dfactor is not the guy you think he is. He is just a bad guy disguised as a good guy. Why I am saying this? Because one day he added me asking for something (I think it was a mod or something like that) and I said NO to him. He started threatening me and yelling at me (like a little kid when parents says NO). Of course, nobody saw what happened because we used the Steam chat. A mature person would have accepted the NO. Shame that no one else saw that because let's be honest, in private you are an ass but in public you use the mask of the "angel". Anyway, good luck with your pathetic and invalid runs, pal.
