[little sluice]

Nobody at top golf actually golfs

It’s like bowling

[jolly nexus]

ive never even held a golf thingy whatever theyre called

[little sluice]

But with golf

[covert meteor]

club?

[jolly nexus]

ye

[timber crag]

Club

[jolly nexus]

had a minor brain fart then

[covert meteor]

they got golf in Romania?

[timber crag]

Minigolf

[jolly nexus]

golf is literally everywhere

[little sluice]

Not in Antarctica

[covert meteor]

shiiiii really

[timber crag]

Yea

[covert meteor]

guess i thought it was like a US/UK thing

[timber crag]

I mean... It's a sport, right?

[timber crag]

Why wouldn't others practice it?

[covert meteor]

this website shows 1 (one) golf course in Romania

[timber crag]

Yeah, that's proper golf

I said there's a lot of minigolf places

[covert meteor]

ohhh

my b

[timber crag]

I have a minigolf park like two hundred meters away from the tram tracks

[little sluice]

Wish we had trams

[timber crag]

But nobody cares about it anymore

[covert meteor]

had to google a tram track tbh

[timber crag]

Wait, you don't know what a tram is?

[covert meteor]

i used context clues but no i didnt know

[little sluice]

Big time noob

He’s probably from a small southern town. Don’t know much outside of the US

[timber crag]

It's like a slow train that doesn't travel outside a city

[covert meteor]

ohhh ok

[timber crag]

That's my best description of it

[covert meteor]

i mean where i am we have trains and buses, just no tram

[timber crag]

We've got both, but we've also got trams

[timber crag]

Oo, that's something

[covert meteor]

truly an international discord

[little sluice]

Such a diverse group here

Any billionaires here looking to adopt?

[timber crag]

Jeff Bezos probably plays WoW

[jolly nexus]

hopefully hes alliance with wm on

[timber crag]

Imagine if he brought a laptop with him to space and somehow has WiFi there

And plays WoW

[little sluice]

You misspelled horde

[glad grove]

No need for wifi. He just directly plugs his laptop into the satelite up there

[jolly nexus]

you misspelled alliance

[little sluice]

I want bezos on my team

[jolly nexus]

rather not

just cause hes got money dont mean hed be good at the game

[little sluice]

Seems like a nice chap outside of work

Yeah but he would be fun to play with I’m sure. He’s a goofball

[rustic maple]

Are people leaving wow for ffxiv for real or is it just content creators?

[little sluice]

I’m not leaving and I know I speak for .0001% of WoW players

[jolly nexus]

some are quitting tho i doubt permanantly

[rustic maple]

Im playing both as a new player and i prefer wow for now

[jolly nexus]

and it wont affect the game enough to make a big difference

[little sluice]

Yeah I prefer WoW and the player base is not going anywhere. Wow is here to stay

I’m sure some people are leaving but you won’t really notice it outside of maybe some content creators like you said not playing it

[glad grove]

I might check ffxivix out. Im disgusted by bliz for a while now and recent stuff hasnt made it any beter. And shadowlands feels.. kinda empty

Its not pulling me in as much as other expansions did. Not making me feel "alright, i really feel like playing some wow today"

[rustic maple]

Yeah I’m actually wondering if they are being paid or something because I dont really understand. I’m new in wow so I dont understand all the drama about wow retail

[glad grove]

Its more bad blizzard

And lack of content release for a while

Only natural to check other games if you have done the same world quest 50 times already and are just done and bored with the current expansions content. Sure, you can level alts, do achiefs, hunt rare 0.1% drop chance mounts etc but at some point thats just chores and can feel emptey

So yea, not a bad idea to look for something else to do then

[rustic maple]

That makes sense, im new to the game so im finding it better.

But that would mean ffxiv players going to wow as well right?

Or do ffxiv get updated more often?

[flat ledge]

im going to have to drop McCreepy as my main

[glad grove]

No idea. Havnt played it. But without doubt some will check out other games aswell. And since theybplay ffixiv because its an mmo, no doubt theyll check out other mmos, including wow

[flat ledge]

anyone else having trouble picking a Lost Ark Founder's Pack?

[rustic maple]

I dont see many more competitors in the scene

Maybe new world right now

[glad grove]

Theres always some mmos that just keep going with an ok playerbase. Not big, not showing off etc. Just going. I play bdo for periods when i get bored of wow and feel like something else for example

[rustic maple]

Is it any good? What do you like about it?

[glad grove]

Its way different from games like wow. I like the graphics and how its more of a relaxing game. Ride around a bit on your horse enjoying the scenery, doimg simple life skills to make some money and just hang out with others. And the character creation is great. Really allows you to make a unique character. That allone already gives it lots of charm and fun to play. Just going adventuring with your character, taking screenshots and doing silly stuff

As long as you dont go play it with a "becomming the best" mindset its fun. Just a break of what other games make you do. Instead, you just go around and do whatever you feel like

[covert meteor]

anybody play Elder scrolls online?

[little sluice]

Get out of here with your noob games

[covert meteor]

It's pretty fun

[spice thistle]

it is

[little sluice]

Agreed it is fun

[glad grove]

🤦‍♀️ not even sure what the content of the message is but yea, there is a message from bliz regarding the situation (or atleast i think?) on the wow companion app now.

And uh... ye. Thats it. The rest just doesnt load. Been trying all day yesterday but nope. Also checked for an app update but this is the latest version

This is the short news header that shows so im pretty sure this is about the bliz situation. But then the actual message remains emptey (atleast, it does for me 🤷‍♀️ )

wait wth. the message from the wow team on the mobile wow companion app is no longer there. it hasnt even been there for a week. and normaly messages dont get removed, they just get pushed down. instead, its now replaced with the daisy unlocked message

it was actually a nice message. i wonder if its some bug... or if its inentionaly taken down. would be a real crappy move if bliz made the wow team take the message down

*not jumping to conclusions before i know for sure what or why. it just caught my attention

Here it goes bosi

[delicate notch]

Blizzard should get the Change to Win group to be their union

would be funny as all hell - they're the ones that keep chasing Kotick's large bonus system

[fallen nexus]

What a day…

[glad grove]

they normaly dont. also, it was just uploaded 3 days ago. and why would they then change it into the pet sloth daisy unlocked announcement message from months ago? unless thats the standard replacement message now... but still... why write a letter to from the wow team to all players only to remove it in just 3 days

[glad grove]

wow. so, i just read a bunch of different sites doing covers about the message from the wow team that was also in the wow companion app since 3 days ago till it got replaced with the "daisy the pet sloth unlocked" message, and i must say... simply turning off comments was absolutely a good move from wowhead. sickening to read how people are not even just defending it, but even cheering people doing actions like what happend at bliz on etc. really big yikes. im actually extremely disgusted, just blown away and genuinly angry. i usualy never really get that. comment sections are always containing some stuff i dont agree with or stuff to just try to trigger people... but this is really just grose stuff there.

so uh.. yea. good call to the wowhead team. its like those people are just going around the internet looking for places with comment sections to go nuts

atleast now they have one place less to do so

[regal horizon]

Personally not big on unions

[glad grove]

Same. I cant eat any exept garlic. And garlic is also bad for me. Weakens me, drains my enery, causes exfreme rapid dehydration. But i keep eating it because its so good

But other then garlic i avoid it all. Cant eat anything if it has unions in it. Which sux because apparently people really like unions for some reason. Its in so much products.

And if its not unions, its family of unions like leek, which is just as bad

[regal horizon]

:V

[glad grove]

The smell alone of any type of union, exept for garlic, is enough to drive me away

Garlic is just too good

[regal horizon]

Rin, please, stop eating the poisonous weeds in your garden

[glad grove]

Nah i dont eat them

Just saying i agree. Unions suck. When i go to mcdonalds and order cheeseburgers i always order without unions

[regal horizon]

...

[glad grove]

And like, 1 out of 10 times they still manage to put them on

Even though the wrapper has a no unions sticker on it. Its like their trying to kill me

Tldr; unions suck. Exept garlic. Garlic is also poison to me but its just too tasty.

The fact that shrek is such a big union fan and showers with it is enough for me to not like him.

The thought of his smell repulses me

Im glad smell tv's arnt a thing yet

Like, why do people even eat them

They pretty much pepperspray people, and yet they still love them

I say, those things live underground for a reason. They should just stay burried.

[regal horizon]

Rin

Are you trolling?

[glad grove]

No. Unions suck

[regal horizon]

Do you not know the difference between Unions and Onions?

[glad grove]

They smell and i cant eat 90 percent of the stuff for sale brcsuse thry put it in everything

[regal horizon]

Rin. Thats an Onion

God, I love Pre-50s music

There is just something so special aboutit

[fresh osprey]

it has charm

but its also true of musicals in general

if theyre good

also - tap dancing

its not really a thing anymore in modern musicals because its hard to find enough people who know how to tap

especially since a lot of musicals want to have "big stars" instead of them being stars BECAUSE of the musicals

[glad grove]

Odd. In that case the wow companion app news is quite bugged. Earlier i already wasnt able to load the article, and now its like it was never there since its literary just replaced with the daisy unlock message. It even still says the daisy unlock message was posted 3 days ago, while at that time 2 news posts where added. 1 for some shadowlands raid stuff i think, and the other one was the wow team message. The shadowlands thing is still there but the other one is now daisy

I’m stoked to see Ybarra step-up to co-lead.

He’s such a genuinely nice guy, and definitely has no tolerance for any amount of toxicity from anyone.

[jolly nexus]

[tough escarp]

He looks like a nice person

[fallen nexus]

Caught him years ago (before he joined Blizzard) wandering around at Blizzcon, and we got to chatting about Overwatch 2, among things. He’s definitely passionate about seeing the company grow, so I have no doubts he will do great.

[jolly nexus]

Ooo very cool

[tough escarp]

But the responsibility he and Jen are taking over is huge.

I think we as a community should support them as much as we can.

[fallen nexus]

He’s got this. He was a VP @ Xbox prior, so I think he’s got the capacity to take on Blizzard.

[cursive tree]

You know what would be somewhat ironic

One of the largest shareholders of ActiBlizzard happens to be very ironically named.

Blackrock

Now wouldn't it be funny if they were to use their power and throw Kotick out big Institutional investors do hold vast majority of the shares (over 70%) so they call the shots.

Somehow I can't help but consider the very idea that Bobby could be getting fired by something that happens to also be named after something so famous in the warcraft universe.

[lyric oyster]

ah yes.. New Wow Expansion has been announced. World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Shareholders

Forget state of california, pissed off customers and mistreated employees. When shareholders get pissed off - they can change the course of the ship to whatever they want down to even replacing kotick and seeking damages from him.

[ivory horizon]

Given how much was widely known throughout the office, I think they have a pretty good case. If all this leads to a union for game developers, etc I'm for it

[ivory horizon]

I mean but how many of those dips were due to relatively uncontrollable forces like the will of the market, etc versus stock plummeting currently due to lawsuits etc over discrimination, sexual harassment etc AND that Kotick would've known about everything going on when these investors bought stock and wilfully ignored it, thus inflating the price

[delicate notch]

shrug

just making a point a vote goes out to shareholders every single year before the AGM to vote on board members and the CEO. The fact Bobby Kotick is still head of the board is indication he keeps getting voted back in. And no it's not because he has a majority of shares - he doesn't have enough for that to be true

[covert meteor]

you cant have enough shares to keep yourself as head of the board, that's impossible

not to be THAT guy but...

[delicate notch]

like i said . voted back in

[covert meteor]

yep, you're totally correct

They want him there for some reason

[delicate notch]

IIRC they publish the vote results to the SEC

[little sluice]

Yup on the 8-k form

[delicate notch]

interesting

the 10-Q for the latest quarterly has stuff about the DFEH lawsuit in it

[ivory horizon]

I get your point, I'm not trying to come off as smarmy or mean. I guess the counter point I'm making is.... him being voted in repeatedly in the past isn't a guarantee he'd continue to get voted in after all this

Ye discord update news shows every time i restart and log in again. Same message over and over and have to click got it every time. Untill a new update comes, then that new message replaces it.

Just like how my monitor has speakers, and every time my pc goes to sleep and gets woken up, discord detects the monitor speakers as a new audio device connected and asks me if i want to change. The options are change, ignore/not change, and Do not show this message again. and i can click do not show this again a thousand times but still, every time my pc goes to sleep, i need to deal with that'

Is this the end of Ian <3? Can WoW get great again?

[tough escarp]

[little sluice]

Lan? Never heard of that before

Gonna apply

Meet 0 of those requirements but won’t stop me

[timber crag]

Blizzard is looking for new members to join the #Warcraft team.

[tough escarp]

Yep. But I don't think they pay well enough.

So I'll pass.

[little sluice]

I’m sure directors get paid well. Also pretty decent stock options I would hope at least

[tough escarp]

You might think that

but the reality is

if you ain't a VP you probably wont even be close to 7 figures

you'll be lucky to be in 6 digits

stocks are nice - but what really matters is what ends up on your bank account every month

[little sluice]

I’m corporate as well, not in gaming though

[tough escarp]

your wife isn't gonna be happy about 3 million in stocks - but she'll love the 3 week vacation in Malibu

[little sluice]

That is true, can make 7 figures in faang but most likely 40-50% of that will be in stock. But won’t catch me complaining about stock

[tough escarp]

[regal horizon]

No

[little sluice]

I mean depends, I know a lot of salaries for certain companies but not gaming

[tough escarp]

all I know is that Blizz seems to pay on the low end

[little sluice]

Good to know about that

I feel like I recall riot games also not paying well but maybe I’m remembering wrong

[regal horizon]

Ion is lead Game Director. He's THEE highest up in WoW development. This position is for an Associate Game Director. This would likely be a position that works under Ion.

[little sluice]

Curious what his job title is. Gotta be pretty sweet to say you are the highest in WoW development

[little sluice]

Nice!

[tough escarp]

he just had his 13th anniversary at Blizz too

[little sluice]

Dang dudes put in a lot of work at blizzard

[tough escarp]

I wish I would be anywhere close to his position after 13 years in Oracle

[fresh osprey]

He isn’t bad for the game. He generally knows what he is doing but I think it’s that he wants to tell a story that the game engine can’t really tell and money people aren’t willing to pay for

[little sluice]

Man 13 years in oracle and not a director? You In sales or dev?

Or neither?

[tough escarp]

consulting - but not 13 years lol

[fresh osprey]

Ion is responsible at least partially for Legion

He was game director during all of legion

[little sluice]

Ahh nice consultant over here too. How is oracle consultanting? I’m focused on cloud transformation consulting

I know someone who has been at sap for 25 years and still not a VP. But there are so much politics when you get that high

[tough escarp]

I wouldn't recommend it for a entry level job - but it's fun - I'm doing cloud transformation too now ... we do 5G core setups

yes - politics are a big issue

I have regular sessions with global director and VP levels

moving telecoms into cloud is a different feat

[little sluice]

Haha that’s awesome. Oracle is definitely a good name to have under your belt. You planning on climbing the ladder to director + level?

What cloud provider do you mostly use? I’m not familiar with telecoms in cloud. I can see that being crazy

[tough escarp]

I'm trying my best - but you need to find the opportunities - and being located in Germany isn't making things easier
It depends on the customer - obviously we use OCI but most ISPs actually host their own clouds due to legal issues.

You can't just have people do phone calls on AWS as the Swiss phone operator 😛

[little sluice]

yeah climbing the ladder is all about being in the right place and finding opportunities. Best of luck to you! I know AWS has something for everyone wasn’t sure if they are big in telecom lol

[tough escarp]

I have been chosen as the Representative for the global Consulting Team in Communications. I hope this opens opportunities - if not I'll probably have to switch companies... 😄

[little sluice]

Gotta ask do you hate or like teams? I’m assuming oracle is using teams/zoom or maybe just teams?

[little sluice]

Sounds like a sweet gig. And yup can be smart to switch companies if it gives you that jump

[tough escarp]

I use whatever the customers use - oracle uses zoom - Swisscom and Telia use Teams - I think both have their pros and cons.

Heck - I still have webex installed for those middle east projects 😛

[earnest sonnet]

so whats going on with blizzard now?

nothing much - they vibin

[earnest sonnet]

hmm really

tthe lawsuit?

[tough escarp]

it will take years

[earnest sonnet]

and why are they firing so many people

[tough escarp]

because it makes for good PR

[earnest sonnet]

why though

[tough escarp]

people want to see a change in how the corporation is run

negative impact on sales is the last thing you want to see

so swapping the CEO and other senior positions after the law suit and allegations is the right move

it sucks for them but they have fucked up over the past years to allow this to happen

[earnest sonnet]

true

[covert meteor]

didn't realize you were in tech as well

Oracle though, man that's amazing

Had no clue they were working on telecommunications. Always associated them with Java and their DB 😆

[tough escarp]

ikr

but long term DB isn't a growing market

[covert meteor]

Yeah I figured. I'm still young so im no expert in tech, but I feel like the world is moving more towards open source solutions, even in DB

at this point postgres is so good that most people claim to have their needs met

[tough escarp]

my career wasn't very classical - I started as the repair guy in your local mobile phone shop

emerging technology happens very often in areas that arent expected

[covert meteor]

very true. One of the coolest things about tech is how you see people who started all over the place.

What do you think about 5G? I know its still somehow controversial but also I remember writing a paper on how the initial suggested implementation wasn't realistic. I think they changed things though

Like originally wasn't the idea to only use milimeter wave tech? Now they expanded to more broad spectrum?

[tough escarp]

it's simply standard evolution - I'm not too deep into the radio side of things anymore - but as the semiconductors and processors get more powerful the more you can do on radio too

5G is just freak math on the radio side of things

the core side of 5G just tries to re-invent how the internet works - so that's pretty cool as well

[covert meteor]

Lol true that. Also you're right, its just standard evolution. I swear every step forward in telecom the research side is pushing things to the edge of reality and the implementation folks have to bring them back lol

rest of game: p-please h-help a poor soul -holds out penny jar-

[fresh osprey]

yeah i mean

its not like Ion did Legion also

oh wait

he did?

shockedpikachu

Ion isnt the problem

its almost definitely money management people wanting to spend less money on cutscenes and voice acting

b/c theyre expensive af

This dosent change my mind on playing their games (overwatch and wow) but I'm genuinely surprised blizzards been screwing up so much
https://youtu.be/m8wBd7nll2M

I thought they were doing okay (even though I didn't know blizzard was related with wow) I just consider overwatch and wow as games I don't really think about who's behind them unless it's a major problem ¯(°_o)/¯

[wise leaf]

Wait...when you hear blizzard you don’t automatically think WoW?

[little sluice]

i mean overwatch is more popular than wow. i feel like a lot of people when they hear blizzard would think of overwatch

[timber crag]

???

StarCraft and Warcraft were already established first, and WoW has been in more mainstream pop culture and commercial references than Overwatch could probably hope to

[wise leaf]

Yeah big doubt on that

Starcraft Warcraft and Diablo

[little sluice]

maybe if you think about older gamers/ people who grew up on PC. However you ask anyone under 24 or a lot of fps/console gamers they will most likely think of OW

[jolly nexus]

It’s still not more popular tho

[little sluice]

just because it was established first does not mean it is the main talking point of people

[wise leaf]

Maybe if they only play console that might be true

[covert meteor]

Overwatch was at one point more popular than WoW for sure

[wise leaf]

Y’all are high

[covert meteor]

If you talk to literally anyone out side of this wow discord you would know lmao

[jolly nexus]

Just because it’s talked about more, which it barely is it doesn’t make it more popular

[little sluice]

Yall are just thinking about people similar to you. Think about eh majority of other people

[covert meteor]

yeah majority of people play more casual games

[jolly nexus]

I don’t know anyone who plays wow lol

[regal horizon]

XDDDDDD

[wise leaf]

Really? I feel like approaching random people and asking if they knew what each one was you get more people who know what WoW is over Overwatch

[covert meteor]

exactly... I know like 20 people who play overwatch

[regal horizon]

WoW is Blizzard largest earning franchise. Overwatch is its least

[covert meteor]

just random people I know

[little sluice]

wow is also way older and longer running than OW

which is why most people today think of OW

[covert meteor]

you don't have to pay monthly for overwatch bud

[regal horizon]

Nope. Year over years uts been WoW

[jolly nexus]

That statement makes 0 sense

[covert meteor]

wrong

In terms of popular culture, Overwatch is way way bigger

[regal horizon]

LMAO

[little sluice]

because WoW has been around for a long time. sure it has been really popular but the majority of people today who play games were not playing wow in 2004. they were playing cod on xbox/ps and OW was more popular to those players

im not dogging on wow, im just saying the game is not what it used to be and a lot of people think about their newer more popular game OW

[timber crag]

What zoomer cope is this

[covert meteor]

just being real my dude

[regal horizon]

This is the shit that makes you two come off as trolls to the majority of the server

You're too new and inexperienced to make the judgement calls you're making

[little sluice]

inexperienced?

[timber crag]

[little sluice]

because we did not play wow in 2004?

[timber crag]

No

[covert meteor]

Literally can't disagree with @regal horizon without him claiming trolls

[timber crag]

Because you two are troll af

You do this all the time

[covert meteor]

and I think you're ignorant. Go talk to somebody who doesn't play wow please

[little sluice]

troll because we think OW has a bigger name over wow?

[covert meteor]

disagree with you when you're wrong?

[timber crag]

You come in with your limited anecdotal facet of worldview and act as if it's established canon

[regal horizon]

Dude, I literally played consoles for over a decade. I know those communities intimately. I'm ashamed to say, I used to take part in the console war toxic shit. You're talking out your asses.

[little sluice]

yeah just because we disagree with yall we are trolls?

[covert meteor]

Established canon? XDXD

[little sluice]

have an open discussion and think before you call us trolls

[timber crag]

?

Dude, calm down

[jolly nexus]

I don’t know anyone who plays cod, therefore it’s not popular and no one plays it, that’s basically the arguement you tried to make

[covert meteor]

Lol CoD also way bigger btw

[little sluice]

im saying yall are not even thinking about the majority of gamers

[jolly nexus]

You’re missing the point

[timber crag]

It's always mokdog and tacoma together, isn't it

[covert meteor]

it's always gumball and baifeng

[little sluice]

^

[timber crag]

I argue with Baifeng regularly

We're still friends

[regal horizon]

Considering people like Mr T, Ozzy Osborne, Paris Hilton, Oprah, Henry Cavill all have/still play WoW, thats about as mainstream and normie as it gets.

[covert meteor]

surprising since you can't disagree with somebody without claiming troll

[timber crag]

Dave Chappell, too

[jolly nexus]

If ozzy ain’t a undead I’ll be sad

[covert meteor]

[little sluice]

lmaooo the fact you think Mr T, ozzy and oprah are mainstream is sad

[covert meteor]

mega sad

[wise leaf]

i'm just confused on how yall think a game thats been around for alot shorter time is so popular over a game thats been running for almost 2 decades. gamers or not people know what WoW is i cannot say the same for OW

[timber crag]

How is Oprah not mainstream

[jolly nexus]

Oprah is the richest woman in the world wdym

[little sluice]

dude get with the times. Think about Tik Tok. biggest social media platform in the world

I wouldn’t mind some shirtless dude bros here

[little sluice]

[glad grove]

If you leave a tomato in the fridge for a year and then open it chiping chicks would come running out of it

[covert meteor]

you literally just said we are dude-bros and ignorant. that's ad hominem

[timber crag]

I was describing the behavior

[covert meteor]

finally something we can agree on

[jolly nexus]

You’re arguement is that WoW isn’t as popular as OW because you know more who play OW

[little sluice]

amen to some shirtless bros

[jolly nexus]

Which isn’t how popularity works

[glad grove]

The answer for the chicken or the egg argument is literary tomato

[wise leaf]

finally someone with a brain

[timber crag]

Your argument was wrong. OW is not more popular than WoW, you just have less awareness of it because of your limited experience

[covert meteor]

Negatory. Just saying that you pick a random person off the street, more than likely they know more about Overwatch than WoW. it's just random sampling, not anecdotal

[timber crag]

If it's a random person they'd probably know more about the globally and publicly advertised IP that's been around for over 16 years

[jolly nexus]

That doesn’t make a game more popular than another

Statistics don’t care about randoms on the street who you ask

[covert meteor]

depends on the metric were using

If youre talking about pop culture awareness, yes. If you're comparing raw player numbers...

[little sluice]

yeah I should clarify. im not necessarily saying OW is more popular. im saying if someone thinks of blizzard the majority of them would probably think about OW

[covert meteor]

Agreed

[wise leaf]

disagree

[little sluice]

its okay to disagree

[covert meteor]

xQc bigger than wow streamers ?

[little sluice]

^

[timber crag]

When you have people like Dave Chappell and William Shatner advertising your game on network broadcasts for years as well as references in TV and movies and other industries, the average Joe is going to probably be aware of it. WoW is definitely more globally recognizable than OW

[little sluice]

but what I dont appreciate is when people like gumball and beifang come in and just label us as trolls for not thinking like them

[covert meteor]

yeah I think the biggest point is it's fine to disagree like @wise leaf and @jolly nexus are doing, but when people like @timber crag and @regal horizon call us trolls it's just insane

[timber crag]

Riiight

[jolly nexus]

It heavily varies

[glad grove]

Years ago some one forgot a tomato in their lunch box at the start of summer and then when they went to school again they opend it and a bunch of chicks came out of it and they where like what the hack and then just watched chicks flee and fast forward and now we have chickens which are spoiled spoiled tomatoes born from calcium tomatoes which we call eggs

[timber crag]

Tomatoes are a fruit

[little sluice]

true, asmongold would have massive streams too. wonder what peak viewers were like for asmon and xqc when playing wow/OW

[covert meteor]

globally, I might agree with you. WoW has a bigger presence in EU and APAC than US

[jolly nexus]

Xqc wasn’t even that popular when he played OW

[glad grove]

They are original chicks which are the original chickens

[little sluice]

true, variety made him big huh?

[glad grove]

Tomatoes

[jolly nexus]

Well ye, someone who plays a lot of games is most likely gonna be more popular than someone who’s played the same game for years

[glad grove]

When a tomato goes rotten its just the tears of a o.g. chick crying itself into a liquid state of existance.

[timber crag]

Depending. It's your quality and quantity argument

[jolly nexus]

Obv but I’m just speaking from a general point of view

[glad grove]

Tomato. When they cry.

[covert meteor]

All the biggest streamers are variety streamers

at least on Twitch

very few people have a massive following on one game

other than like Tyler1

[glad grove]

I wonder what kind of fruit dinosaurs where

[little sluice]

team T1

[covert meteor]

it all comes full circle

[glad grove]

If we water dinosaur skeletons enough they might contain seed, grow roots and begin anew

[little sluice]

also maybe we can all agree hearthstone is their biggest game I feel like. considering it is a massive mobile game

[regal horizon]

Nope. Diablo and Warcraft and StarCraft.

[little sluice]

maybe I should say currently lol

[covert meteor]

thats 3 games tho

[timber crag]

Three MAJOR games

[covert meteor]

you could also list out every game blizzard makes lmao

[regal horizon]

The three most popular franchises Blizzard has.

[timber crag]

And all three are staples of gaming culture

[covert meteor]

is StarCraft that popular anymore? I will die on the hill of saying OW and Hearthstone are bigger than StarCraft

[regal horizon]

[timber crag]

Where'd you learn how to research

[covert meteor]

so he's a variety streamer then....

playing more than one game

[little sluice]

he did try it out

[regal horizon]

No

[covert meteor]

that's what variety means my dude

[regal horizon]

No

[timber crag]

Baifeng is right. Asmon has stated he's not leaving WoW

[covert meteor]

Still variety

[regal horizon]

No

[covert meteor]

Yep

[little sluice]

yeah he will never leave wow lol, but he has started streaming FF

[timber crag]

Variety means you intentionally play various games regularly

[covert meteor]

Like FF?

right now he's a variety streamer

maybe in a year he will exclusively play WoW

[regal horizon]

XDDD

Wtf?

xD

[covert meteor]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-followed_Twitch_channels

is this not an accurate list ?

[timber crag]

No, variety streaming means you're regularly streaming different content and adding new games to the variety. That doesn't make Asmon a variety content streamer

[regal horizon]

Dude, you seriously do not watch him do you? You legit think he will FF for a straight year and not WoW?

[timber crag]

Do you know how many years Asmon would have to stream FF to not be called a WoW streamer after his years of WoW streaming?

[little sluice]

think his year quote was just a random time

[timber crag]

[hardy forge]

Infinite

[covert meteor]

this literally just a tweet my man

I posted a sourced wiki article

[regal horizon]

...

Dexerto is a GAMING NEWS SITE

LMFAO

[timber crag]

The tweet is also sourced

You can follow all of the names and links for their data

[glad grove]

Zul jin

And thrall

😎

[regal horizon]

Holy fucking , Why are Zoomers so fucking ignorant? I legit defended Gen Z from Boomer attacks because I legit didnt believe Gen z could be worse than my generation (Millenials)

[little sluice]

chill man

[timber crag]

It's the whole FoV effect, Baifeng

[little sluice]

to be fair @covert meteor your data is not right. https://twitchtracker.com/channels/viewership

[hardy forge]

Rekt

[covert meteor]

Depends on your metric. Most viewed per month is not how I would measure the most popular streamer

[wise leaf]

its not?

[covert meteor]

also Asmongold top streamer this month while he is playing FF

[covert meteor]

chill bro being pretty toxic

[timber crag]

Oh shut up

[little sluice]

yeah you can filter by other stats and XqC beats asmon

if you do subscribers xqc is ranked 2 and asmon is 11

[covert meteor]

Total views, followers, etc. You could also go back one month and find new data

[wise leaf]

isn't that just cherry picking stats then?

you lose in overall so you want to pick the stats that fit you best?

[covert meteor]

how is current month top viewers the best stat to find most popular streamer

[little sluice]

im saying one stat does not mean they are the most popular. they are bother probably at the top of twitch streamers rght now

[regal horizon]

You just like to move goal posts when proven wrong.

[little sluice]

also note that if you filter by followers gained Xqc is number 1

[covert meteor]

you freak out and call trolls when somebody disagrees 🤣

[regal horizon]

Yuuuuup.

[covert meteor]

followers gained > peak viewers when some guy tries a new game

Let's not ignore the fact Asmongold is literally playing FF rn and that's why his views spiked like crazy. It's quite the event 🙂

[little sluice]

im providing a lot of data from different stats. I would argue if you look at all the stats XqC would technically come out more popular

[timber crag]

It's a controversial game swap. Asmon thrives off of attention seeking, all streamers do

[little sluice]

but asmongold has to be close

[covert meteor]

I prefer multiple data sources over one tweet screenshot

[covert meteor]

100% agree

[little sluice]

loool

[timber crag]

The tweet is sourced from a gaming news source and has links and names to its own sources

[little sluice]

was asmon getting tired of WoW? I know he likes attention like all others but thought he wanted something new too

[timber crag]

It's just something new and popular

[little sluice]

true true

[glad grove]

Cherry pizza is so good.

[timber crag]

He's also still playing wow

[covert meteor]

either way to me he did something new which caused a huge spike in viewers

[timber crag]

Never said he was leaving it

[regal horizon]

Because its WoWs largest streamer trying the game. Lets also not pretend like Asmon is quitting WoW to full time Stream FF. He said he wanted to give FF a real shot because it wouldn't be fair to review the game bu half-assing it. The dudes got integrity to give the game a fair shot. But, he's also on record that he is never quitting WoW. He loves the game, despite Blizzard fucking it up so often.

[timber crag]

duh

That's how content creation works

[covert meteor]

Dude I don't disagree with anything you said here

[little sluice]

yeah completely agree with what yall are saying here

[covert meteor]

glad we can all agree, but this means a source that puts last months viewers to show Asmongold is the most popular is innacurate

given that we can agree he did something crazy which spiked viewers

[timber crag]

🤦

[regal horizon]

No. He said it himself, he's following the trend. Asmon fully admits on stream he likes to follow trends.

Its part of his streamer persona

[covert meteor]

How about you look at May, June viewership data too then 🤷

[little sluice]

good to know I wasnt sure

last 30 days yeah asmongold is higher than xqc

[covert meteor]

yuh makes sense.

[little sluice]

but one month is not really anything. we all watched ninas career die in a second lol

[covert meteor]

what about like when xQc was doing the gta rp

[regal horizon]

I've legit talked to Asmon, 1 on 1 over a year ago. I was the GM of one of the Classic WoW Olympus guilds. He's a really great guy.

[covert meteor]

That's awesome. He seems like a really cool guy

I enjoy his content

[wise leaf]

i just wish he'd clean his desk more tbh

[little sluice]

yup dude loves his soda

[little sluice]

looooool

[regal horizon]

No. It adds charm to his Smeagul appearance

[timber crag]

I don't get along with actors

[wise leaf]

and maybe move his eyebrows less

[little sluice]

man the eyebrows. when I first watched I wasnt really watching his face. then someone pointed it out

[wise leaf]

but GD i bet those muscles are strong as hell

[little sluice]

about the only muscles in his body from lifting those brows

everything else is bone

[regal horizon]

He does it on purpose

[wise leaf]

i bet he does

[little sluice]

does he really lol? why?

[wise leaf]

makes people talk about him more

[timber crag]

For the persona

[wise leaf]

the "eyebrow" guy

you know the one

that streamer

oh yeah asmongold

[little sluice]

you think he is still doing it on propose now or has he done it so much he just does it naturaly ?

[timber crag]

It's even more intentional now

[little sluice]

would love to walk into him on the street and see if he does it

[timber crag]

I don't think you fully appreciate what entertainers and actors really put themselves through psychologically and characteristically when dealing with their personas lol

Can’t tell if y’all Memeing or actually excited for more South Park lol

[timber crag]

It's funny

South Park is popular with the WoW community

[regal horizon]

Im genuinely excited

[little sluice]

How are the newer seasons of south park? I’ve watched up to like season 12

[north verge]

🙏

[glad grove]

I still think dwarves have all the check boxes that make them fall under the catogory of "furry"

Heres another good reason: a good acurate dwarf cosplay contains enough hair it should totaly be called a furrsuit

[deft wolf]

that would make people called „bears“ furries too then

[glad grove]

Lord of the rings. But legoman is just imagining gimli is real and fighting besides him. Its actually his furrsona that he now sees as a real world person beside him after he hit his head right before the movies started.

[north verge]

LIKE LA LA LA

LA LA LA LOSER

[deft wolf]

Wow you wrote in caps

that comes off as very aggressive

[north verge]

im singing shhh

I DONT REALLY CARE MIDDLE FINGERS IN THE AIR 🎵

LIKE LA LA LA, LA LA LA LOSER 🎵

[glad grove]

The dwarf king in the hobit is just bildo's furrsona

He dealth with the same issue legoman had in the lord of the ring

He was seeing his furrsona standing and fighting next to him because he hit his head agains the ceiling of his own house. He raised the roof before the movie began. It was even lower before.

[glad grove]

?

[little sluice]

I’m just gonna say it

Furries creep me out

[north verge]

uwu

[glad grove]

Nah.

[covert meteor]

ill go one further

furries can burn in hell

[glad grove]

Big nah? Wtf

[north verge]

heres my fursona 🙏

[covert meteor]

bunch of weirdo animal fetishest

[north verge]

so u want this cute bean to burn in hell? 😭

[little sluice]

Think most of it comes from mental illness. Was listening to Hasanabi talk about it on twitch the other day

[north verge]

wait, we're all sinnners, LETS ALL GO TO HELL MHWAHAHAAH

HAHAHAA

sss anyway

🙏

[glad grove]

They just do what they like and are proud and brave enough to do what they like, withouth having to care and adjust to the oppinions of other people all the time

[covert meteor]

yeah i saw the same thing. must be something weird going on in the brain where u want to have relations with an animal

[north verge]

ppl who judge ppl for what they like r too scared to like something they like 🙏

[little sluice]

Think the KKK do the same thing

[north verge]

wtf

dont say that

[glad grove]

Wtf

[north verge]

🙏

rin what have i done

[little sluice]

I’m just saying that’s the way they think too lol

[north verge]

[north verge]

🙏

[glad grove]

Dude. Im just comming up with a great movie theory. Wth do you guys have to start doing hate spreading on people who just have a hobby and compare them to racists etc?

[covert meteor]

idk how much i trust you around "cute" cats

[north verge]

o-0

well if u want me to feed them, pet them, make sure they have clean water and dont get hit by a car, 🙏 u should trust me enough

[covert meteor]

furries are probably worse than racists

[north verge]

wtf
