   "Nexon has millions of dollars to throw around."
   And yet they still use the Unreal ASSet store which they then claim as their own...
   I mean, it's common for small devs to use ASSets made by total strangers (kind of like NPM/PIP/Cargo/Composer/whatever packages, but for video gaymes), but a big one?
   Come on man!

     That is a distinct example of one of the main categories of shitty video. Videos that have vague titles to get people to click on them just to see what they're about. Oh, the thing that the video is actually about? I don't know what it is, and I'm not gonna click that, so, whatever. Unreal Tournament is a good game, though.

     I avoid most of those videos, but sometimes I just click on them due to a lack of something else to watch and with nothing better to do.
     
     And Unreal in this sense is the Unreal Engine, the engine that was used to make Unreal Tournament, but others can use it too to make their own games.
     Which reminds me to this guy who does have a clear title, and the video is actually about what the video and thumbnail are saying (although audio-only, video is just because JewTube doesn't support audio-only):

     For some reason schizo's and autists (not so much with asperger's) seem more human. Either I am deluded or normalfags have become more insane in less than a decade.

     I noticed the same, it's almost as if people are getting diagnosed with autism because they're too awake/too hard to brainwash, so by attaching the "autist" label on them normalfags will be less likely to take them seriously.
     
     Of course I don't mean to say that every autist is smart, there are very smart and very dumb ones out there, and in rare cases there are the average intelligence ones too, the point is rather that they're just throwing all of them under the same label.

     Makes sense when giving away their humanity (if we're calling it that) is the normal thing for normal people to do. All you have left are the people that refuse to do that because they have their own thing going on and don't follow the masses, and grew up mostly inside of their own heads, so, I guess more likely to be more introspective, though with massively varying levels of being able to comprehend reality at all.
     
     Also, autism and Asperger's have been unified into just autism. Though that label is kinda silly in the first place, huge umbrella term for a massive variety of people. Totally different brains, just all non-standard. Then again, all labels are silly to some extent or another. Should they be really strict or really vague, or somewhere in between? I guess which one is better depends on each label and what you're trying to do.

     Yeah, the label does not address intelligence at all. At this point, on the physical/biological side of it, it mostly means "non-standard brain that we can't categorize". But there are also characteristics that those people have in common, of course, even comparing the dumb to the smart. Some of the characteristics are also contradictory, like how some autists are more dyslexic and some are more hyperlexic (but neither are the normal thing).
     
     I think obsessions can alter a lot too, really depends on what each person happens to get interested in, so it must be a least partly connected to whether or not reading is one of those things. Could have an effect, I don't know, I don't even remember not being able to read (but I do remember refusing to do presentations in school since the very beginning).
     
     Also, of course, every category of person that isn't "dumb obedient slave to society", or a psychopath running that society, or a narcissist getting the population to worship the system, has to have some negative label associated with it, whether it's a problem or not. Though in this case it lost most of the negativity, probably because people started using it that way more instead of trying to fucking ban it as offensive like everything else.

     In the mind of most people, "autism" is usually ASSociated with the dumbest variety.
