[hushed lion]

Okay that was it

[open moon]

This is beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!

[swift bear]

i dont have the disposable income but all of you who contributed to that train are legends

[long dagger]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[open moon]

IT'S DONE!

[hushed lion]

I gave another 5 lol

[long dagger]

A MEME

THE GREAT OFFLINE HYPE TRAIN

[azure warren]

[long dagger]

NO BLACKOUT WILL CHAIN US DOWN

[hushed lion]

We have done what no other goblins have done before

[long dagger]

AND NOW, WE STEAL, ZE MOOOON!!!

https://tenor.com/view/gru-moon-gif-10973131198585528214

[hushed lion]

I dub thee goblins evolved. We have now leveled up into Hobgo

[long dagger]

LEVEL 26

[pine pumice]

This is most likely a record for twitch. Don't think a channel had a bigger hype train while offline 🙈

[hushed lion]

Hobgoblins

[vagrant silo]

''Uhm Thor, we got bored so we beat the record again'' 😂

[long dagger]

[open moon]

Level 26! Huzzah!

[pine pumice]

Another 100 bomb

[hushed lion]

These 100 bombs lol

[long dagger]

this is so pure omg

[open moon]

What absolute monsters and mad-lads

[azure warren]

I put on the OST, my brother went like: "Where does the hype train music come from?"

[vagrant silo]

Fellow goblin brothers, 100 subs is like €500. An insane amount. Thank you ❤️

[modest apex]

Dang!

[hushed lion]

Depends on where you gift from

[long dagger]

and the best part, Thor doesn't wanna keep any of it

[hushed lion]

Brazil gets like 100 gifted for 5 bucks american

[modest apex]

Ye! All for the orphans!!

[long dagger]

I go to Brazil! /j

[hushed lion]

All pricing is regional. Another reason I love being a part of this community.

@viscid kraken You're a legend for doing that post for us by the way. Thanks man

[young oyster]

level 27 hype train is insane...

[open moon]

Absolute huzzah

[long dagger]

wait, thor can adjust sub prices?

[modest apex]

No

[viscid kraken]

I am streamerbot now

[hushed lion]

No, its based on region

[long dagger]

red duck

[open moon]

Streamerbot has become sentient, oh no

[long dagger]

oh sick

[quartz tinsel]

feed the bots bread 🍞

[long dagger]

🍞

[viscid kraken]

Twitch adjusts the pricing of subs to reflect the region and currency in which you are paying. This helps it so that the VALUE of the sub is the same in different regions, rather than the COST

[open moon]

Bread for the bread bots

[hushed lion]

^^

[modest apex]

Just to confirm: Thor has a generator for the ferrets temp control etc, right?

[flint lynx]

that is a terrifying thought

[long dagger]

that is actually very smart

[viscid kraken]

Yes, but at this time of year it is not really an issue

[wintry vapor]

How does the debt work with a power outage? 🤔

[modest apex]

Thank you! 💖

[vagrant silo]

Yeah a brazillian paying the equivolant of €4 a sub (my price) would be INSANE 😂

[long dagger]

LVL 28

what is the current record?

[hushed lion]

We have it at 29

[viscid kraken]

Ferrets are at risk at 26.6C and above (80f)

[vagrant silo]

Offline? No clue

[hushed lion]

28^

offline

[modest apex]

106 online

[hushed lion]

28 is offline, we have it

[modest apex]

Uuuh neat

[viscid kraken]

They can be below that without much issues, down into the negative degrees Celsius without issue

[haughty pelican]

unless you were already watching, you can't see the offline chat

[long dagger]

WHAT.

[azure warren]

Winter/Fall(Autumn) = Good temps for Ferrets

[long dagger]

[modest apex]

Ye, we hold it ^^

[hushed lion]

yeah we beat our own record that day. was so much fun lmao

[long dagger]

holy poop

[modest apex]

That was a glorious time to be a goblin

[hushed lion]

I cant wait to hear the crap Thor says to us when he streams next. Doing this hype train offline is broken lol.

[modest apex]

It always is but ykwim

[vagrant silo]

what in the world is happening in the hangout 2 channel 😂

[open moon]

Same. It's like Yuki is glitching out

[young oyster]

things beyond our comprehension..

[long dagger]

[vagrant silo]

@willow nebula you okay brother? 😂

[long dagger]

LVL 29

[vagrant silo]

I found a 3 year old clip from a streamer. Level 5 hypetrain at 12.000% 😂

[haughty pelican]

oh i finally got in the chat XD

[hushed lion]

We've been doing this hype train since around 4am lol

[vagrant silo]

sorry to bother you but seemed like you were glitching out in the voice channels, looked funny

[long dagger]

i think the only song that captures the sheer amount of goblinness rn is this one

https://youtu.be/WrM8CqXPPjo

[hushed lion]

4am est

[open moon]

It's absolutely what we do

[sudden garnet]

my stream chat feed is breaking also hello everyone i jad to join the discord casue of this bonkers hype train

[young oyster]

im watching the offline chat go nuts and wish i could contribute, but mans broke 😂

[hollow ember]

Offline chat at lv 29

[spiral matrix]

Hype trains aren't about spending, it's about the HYPE

[sudden garnet]

i threw all my rainy day bits im fully tapped out lmao

[hushed lion]

Exactly

[open moon]

Exactly!

[long dagger]

Hangout 2 has some caffeine problems

[hushed lion]

I dropped 30 gifted and 3k bits. Still doesnt touch the 5 100 bombs

[quartz tinsel]

Still think twitch need to rename offline hype trains to be ghost trains

[hushed lion]

And I still feel great

[spiral matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/nothing-stop-train-gif-18594823

[ocean agate]

its the chaotic good vibes

[young oyster]

actually that'd be a great idea!

[azure warren]

Where is the proof of said train

[long dagger]

omg yes

[hushed lion]

Thats not right.

[sudden garnet]

is it really 55????

[hushed lion]

I've scoured the internet and have only located a level 12 offline train so far.

[sudden garnet]

oh lets gooo

[pine pumice]

guess not, likely was banned 🙈

[azure warren]

WE WILL CATALOGUE THE GHOST TRAIN ON THE WIKI!

[hushed lion]

nice level 30

[long dagger]

YESSS, LET'S WRITE IT

[hushed lion]

another 100 bomb

[flint lynx]

20 T3 holy shit

[vagrant silo]

If you want a Ghost Train -> USERVOICE

[sudden garnet]

ive been hunting for it and all im seeing is level 10 level 12 level 6 but broken with 12000%

[open moon]

I almost can't believe these people. What absolutely generous folks

[azure warren]

I need to grab my lunch first

[young oyster]

swear to god some of these gifters are going into debt for this lol

[hollow ember]

[hushed lion]

Im going to make a burrito. Back shortly. Hopefully it keeps going lol

[long dagger]

you wanna write it or should I start a draft?

[sudden garnet]

every time i search for world record offline train i get thors record lmao thats not what im looking for dang it lmao

[pine pumice]

If this was a furry stream, I would have said "Suspiciously rich furries", but it's not 🙈

oops accidentally replied to the wrong message xD

That was to Kamizura

[long dagger]

[pine pumice]

[deep hatch]

kekw

[open moon]

XD

[long dagger]

the only song that captures this is the Wallace & Gromit The Wrong Trousers - The Techno Trousers Theme but synthesized

[young oyster]

lol and i'd believe it..

[hushed lion]

Now that thor said something we're about to go off with donos

[sudden garnet]

level 31

[hushed lion]

I just droped another 25 lol

5^

[hushed lion]

Yes we have the record, by far

[open moon]

I'm wondering if they're determined to make it a world record for offline streams

[long dagger]

✨ NEW RECORD ✨

[sudden garnet]

i think we are

if we didnt already just set it

[glossy bobcat]

YEAH!

[hushed lion]

We set it 2 hours ago when we hit 15 lol

[sudden garnet]

only thing i see on googles is level 10

[long dagger]

well.. newER record!

[hushed lion]

Yep every level new record!

[sudden garnet]

so this is a strong chance of a new record

[distant vessel]

https://youtu.be/04854XqcfCY?si=zFndAZVj8oHhqlCR

[long dagger]

oh, i see. I can't create a page for the Ghost Train

:(

[open moon]

One shall be made

[long dagger]

i think an admin has to do that

[hushed lion]

Offline hype train needs its own ghost train emote

[long dagger]

YES!

[hushed lion]

Thor is the man.

[long dagger]

Thor is the

[sudden garnet]

maybe if it gets crazy high enough we can get twitchs attention to add one

[static otter]

That's why I keep my phone on charge all the time and I also have a fully charged power bank on me

[serene spruce]

Well, I hope all the subs and bits are enough to get a UPS for the ferrets, at least.

[polar compass]

Hype train ended at lvl 31!!!!

[hushed lion]

Record set at 21

31^

[long dagger]

Chooo Choo!

[polar compass]

Previous offline train record was level 10!

[modest apex]

Wiiild

[modest apex]

Ya crazy goobers

[hushed lion]

yeah buddy #4

😄

[young oyster]

it was a good effort by the goblins o7

[sudden garnet]

GG everyone!

[polar compass]

sstundzia did several hundred subs!

[hushed lion]

Staying in top 10 for these month to month is not easy for me lol

[open moon]

No doubt XD

[long dagger]

letalone top 5

[hushed lion]

^.^

[modest apex]

Don't overextend yerselves ya goblins

[serene spruce]

I wish I could afford to donate.

[young oyster]

all those gifteds and i dodged.

[hushed lion]

I had #1 for about 10 minutes until they dropped the 50k bombs

[young oyster]

time to go wake up my birds, have a good one all

[polar compass]

Same I would've helped save it and get to 32

[pine pumice]

That's all month. Let me analyse just this train alone 🙈

[long dagger]

it's not the subs that matter, it's the presence. you just have to be part of the malignity of goblins

[serene spruce]

If any of you have a choice, don't be poor. Trust me, it just brings pain, and a deep unrelenting emptiness in your heart.

[open moon]

Just keeping the hype going for so long is awesome enough, folks

If folks weren't cheering I doubt many would donate as much as they had

[modest apex]

As always: don't feel pressured or obligated to throw money. Be smart, be responsible. Thor wouldn't want ya to go hungry or homeless

[odd lagoon]

How do you get to chat on mobile when the stream is down? Went to the link but it just takes me to the profile page

[polar compass]

I wonder if @minor nymph even knows. His phone died!

[hushed lion]

Doesnt matter what you give. This community comes together and works together. Something that is so rare

Its nice to be a part of.

[open moon]

100%

[sudden garnet]

oh man we killed his phone lmao

[open moon]

What a thing to kill it though

[vagrant silo]

Its fine. Thor can use some of our hype train for good powerbanks 😂

[hushed lion]

Alrighty, thats it for me everyone. Have a wonderful day! Ill be back if he starts streaming

have to get my daily fact in lol

[serene spruce]

All I can give is advice, support, warnings, and kindness. It's all I have left, after everything that's gone wrong in my life.

[modest apex]

A lot of people need that, so thank you

[rain widget]

I'm well within my "shit spending" fund but thanks for your concern regardless 🙂

[azure warren]

Guys I also cant seem to find the make page button

[long dagger]

I hate spending money. I always overthink my purchases and try to save up as much as possible. I kinda feel bad when my friends buy me expensive games, cuz it's going out of their pockets

[azure warren]

[azure warren]

Im in the editor yes

[long dagger]

damn. i can't edit pages qwq

probs because my account is new

Thor is on!

[azure warren]

Its his phone

[long dagger]

ye but still

[west tiger]

Wait, phone nearly dead? Thought they had backup power there with the rescue. Hope it is staying cool enough for the wigglers.

[open moon]

His phone was dying so it's odd to see but it is what it is. Maybe he has power back or somn.

[peak skiff]

"An offline hypetrain. Longest recorded yet was on PirateSoftware's channel, which reached lvl 31, %43"

[polar compass]

It's below freezing out side there hahaha

[open moon]

I can only hope it falls below freezing soon here @.@

[long dagger]

if you check https://poweroutage.us/area/state/washington there are now only 2 areas which are still off instead of the 3 original ones

[unique pond]

i see 3 pierce, ferry and stevens

[polar compass]

Basically with an insulated house and the temps in Eastern Washington tonight the temp inside the house will drop 1-2F or roughly 0.5C per hour. So it'll be a few hours before there's any serious issues.

[haughty pelican]

A power outage can only mean 1 thing

[haughty pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-the-phantom-menace-droid-army-invasion-gif-15588676

[sudden garnet]

anyone confirm the standing record for offline trains yet?

[polar compass]

They didn't make it in before the outage. He was only live for about 27min

[long dagger]

oh no.

[stray locust]

We had a power outage here about a month ago. Apparently a squirrel got into a substation and knocked the power out in half the city for over 6 hours.

[open moon]

I saw folks just pinging their extensions, wondered if maybe someone kicked the stream on for a second as a thank you or somn.

[polar compass]

He doesn't live in Pierce though. His drive home from the UW game was nearly 5 hours and Pierce is just south of the stadium.

Twitter · Nov 17, 2024, 12:08 PM

[sudden garnet]

i hope he gets a second record for this i really do

[polar compass]

Highest previous record I could find was level 10

[sudden garnet]

same

[open moon]

I thought someone said that the offline record on Twitch was 55

[long pilot]

issues with the battery, mentioned in #ferretchat

[sudden garnet]

i have been digging through the interwebs since the train started i cant find nothing

[sudden garnet]

unconfirmed

[polar compass]

I just found Twitter posts from a streamer 10 months ago about her lvl10 offline train... and how she got a 3 day ban becuase her chat apperently said insane shit suring it lol

But that's it.

Only other offline hype train I can find is that one.

[sudden garnet]

i found one from 3 years ago when level 6 was max

[polar compass]

https://www.reddit.com/r/VShojo/comments/18spwsy/henyas_offline_hype_train/

This one hit lvl10

[sudden garnet]

yup thats on redit as well

[open moon]

Then we find out IBAI had a level 99 offline hype train last week 😛

[azure warren]

Or Bahroo

[sudden garnet]

goals?

[peak skiff]

You could always write "highest confirmed" on the wiki and just roll with it

[summer sapphire]

Whats going on over there? Bad weather? Or just some kind of infrastructure failure?

[open moon]

I suppose that makes sense, feels a bit off though. Hopefully we can confirm the highest

[sudden garnet]

i want to wake up tomorrow morning and see a news feed update of "streamer sets new world record and he didnt even have power"

[little minnow]

why would that be news worthy exactly?

[polar compass]

Used to live near there. On occasion when it starts to get cold for the first time in the winter a regional transformer would blow a fuse and need repaired. It would usually cause a fire at the transformer though so the repair would end up being 8-12 hours long.

[forest glacier]

There goes 200+ watch streak

[long dagger]

Enjoy. Wish I could write wiki pages :(

[summer sapphire]

This seems absurdly specific.

[sudden garnet]

its not but i got a notification on google news feed when he hit the world record train

[rain widget]

What's worse - seems recurring...

[polar compass]

Yup, happened to us roughly every two years. I was actually near one of the transformers when it blew once. It was one of the scariest things I have ever seen. Green flames that went up into the sky and then suddenly every single light went dark and the entire landscape was just pitch black.

[sudden garnet]

when i was living in WA (western) we lost power for 3 days due to 3 transformers blowing up in my town

[dire wigeon]

that sounds like a demon summoning ritual

[vague spade]

I have a similar issue where I live
the boiler in our building always breaks when it starts getting colder, and the cooperation refuses to change it entirely

so it always keep breaking

[polar compass]

Yeah American infastructure is not the most well built. Not the worst, but far from the best. Especially in rural areas because infastructure across large distances to only a few people gets expensive fast.

[little minnow]

that's cool.. although google news feed does not mean actual news does it? 😄

[foggy plover]

I just hope he got some sort of generator installed to keep the ferrets comfortable.

[polar compass]

It looked like one. Literal green fireball up into the clouds and then the city I was in dissapeared. No light at all.

[sudden garnet]

who cares about actual news they only tell you what they want you to know

[peak skiff]

Benefits of living in central WA; enough blue collar workers here that we don't usually have to worry about power going out

[little minnow]

who's they?

[vague spade]

your momma and co.

[sudden garnet]

i live in MN now and many of our lines are being moved underground

[polar compass]

That's the smart way to do it. Just costs more.

[open moon]

If it works then there you go

[steel reef]

And then of course there's fun videos like this one...
https://youtu.be/ZCzdPFJ4tog

[sudden garnet]

too many tornados dont have to worry about earth quakes just got to get it lower than the frost line so the lines dont freeze and get stupid

[long dagger]

which one of you goblins set a power substation on fire?

[sudden garnet]

-30 -40f can cause lines to act funny round here

[summer sapphire]

Don't admit to this - it's a crime

[steel reef]

You can see where the overheating transformer (it's not meant for that sort of sustained load through it) tries to vent its mineral oil coolant to avoid rupturing from overpressure - ...and then the arc ignites the mineral oil vapor.

[summer sapphire]

Fun fact: -40F == -40C

[sudden garnet]

yup it is

[little minnow]

that's reazy cold

[polar compass]

That's exactly what happened in my case, it was just night time and we didn't see the fire/short circuit stuff, just this green flash and then a massive blue-green fireball up into the clouds and then all was black. It was -10F that night.

[little minnow]

crazy

[polar compass]

What's wild is how fast they can replace the whole thing. Again, when it happened to me it only took about 12 hours and a whole new sub station was built.

[steel reef]

I wonder if the green is from the copper content of the windings?

[summer sapphire]

I actually worked on a calculator for transformer overloads at work. The code was based on some VB code written before I was born. Not fun.

So many goto statements...

So many...

[polar compass]

Copper burns blue-green so that was def the flashing. The fire being that color is likely something in the mineral oil coolants if I had to guess.

[sudden garnet]

my ex wifes dad was a coast guard lineman in western WA some them high power lines up in the mountains are so old and outdated

[azure warren]

Alright text is made, now the pictures need to be added

[long dagger]

wahoo

[polar compass]

The short-circuit, which is caused by an insulation failure, reaches 1,200-degree Celsius. It vaporizes the oil located in the transformer. This is why it happens when the temps drop overnight typically. Because that sudden cold can cause the coolant or its tanks to rapidly change density and size.

[polar compass]

US infa is very much a game of "if it aint broke dont fix it"

[steel reef]

Speaking of old electrical stuff, someday I really should get something larger than a 100A main panel for this place...

[sudden garnet]

you can say that again

what matters is its working now so... dont touch it lmao

[polar compass]

Heeeeeyyy found a local news article about the incident I mentioned. Here's the fire just before the BOOM

[spiral matrix]

naw, even if it does break, will enough people get mad enough to do something to justify spending to fix it?

[long dagger]

omg, source?

[rain widget]

now that's a campfire 😄

[sudden garnet]

got to love that electic blue

[rocky venture]

Time to go grill some sausages and smores.

[west tiger]

Seems there was already a power outage in another area tied to boom, that one started a few hours before Thor's went.

[polar compass]

Am low key nervous about doxxing myself lol
If you look up transformer explosions though there are tons of articles about how/why and also a ton of press about when this same thing happened a few years back at the airport in NYC

[steel reef]

Would probably add a new larger main panel and attach the current main panel as a 100A sub-panel, so that I don't have to redo all the circuits in it (many of which are old 2-conductor stuff) to meet current code...

[rain widget]

nah... too far away... both in distance and in time 😄

[long dagger]

fair

editing some of the pictures so I dont have to upload many pictures

giving this a watch, it's identical to my experience, just in NYC instead of in the middle of no where hahaa

And due to that there wasn't a multi county blackout

[long dagger]

i hope everyone is ok

ngl i am a bit worried about doxxing thor. that would be very unpleasant

[polar compass]

Yeah I def don't have the skills to do it and he has said on stream that being a streamer, people already know where he lives. That's as close as I'd dare get. I can take the image down though

[long dagger]

yeah

[polar compass]

He used to work literal OpSec for the US Govt though so I think he's smarter than us lol

[steel reef]

At least if my power goes out in the winter, I can go down to the furnace, flip off the power switch to it because reasons, manually open the zone valves, switch the aquastat from "automatic" to "manual", and let the system circulate on gravity feed while it does its thing.

Thermopile sitting in the pilot will power the gas valve inside as needed.

[strong wasp]

RIP the majority of watch streaks (I would assume)

[polar compass]

That sounds so nice. similar to having a gas fireplace it seems

[polar compass]

Yeah a lot of people are bringing that up in chat. Some people lost some big ones

[steel reef]

Not sure how old it is, came with the house, but best guess is sometime in the '60s based on a very similar unit (same name on the front even, except with a blower setup instead of a boiler setup) that I saw on YouTube.

https://tenor.com/view/power-is-out-lights-out-power-outage-no-electricity-star-trek-gif-20578262

I wonder if thor has a generator? I would have assumed the fiber line stayed live unless their routing gear dosn't have standby power

[azure warren]

He has

But stuff got corroded

Leaving it broken

[zealous frost]

when did he tak about that? Why's he leaving it broken?

[azure warren]

#pirate-pass message

He didnt know basically

[zealous frost]

huh. I'm also under the impression he's not handy/mechanically inclined, so he probobly just said "nope" when he saw it

so that makes sense

[half narwhal]

usually, once stuff in an engine block is corroded (im assuming he has a gas generator) it just needs to be replaced

[zealous frost]

he said it's the battery terminals

[azure warren]

Its batteries

[zealous frost]

it needs some cleaning that's all

[half narwhal]

ohoh

so

[azure warren]

Bro you better let a generator be repaired by someone who knows how

[half narwhal]

basically he ha a giant battery bank?

[zealous frost]

I highly doubt he has any kind of LIPO standby

[azure warren]

Unless you want to electrocute yaself

[zealous frost]

The lawn mower engine that runs it just wont start

[zealous frost]

small engine repair and re-wiring a genset are totally different

[half narwhal]

interesting

[zealous frost]

no, standard genset. needs a battery to start just like a lawn tractor

[half narwhal]

gotcha gotcha

[zealous frost]

little 12v motorcycle battery

[half narwhal]

im not used to big generators, ive only dealt with hand start generators

so, yeah, just a batt swap is good

[zealous frost]

it's probobly not that much bigger than what you have TBH

[half narwhal]

(also, from the first message it sounded like the generator itself was corroded lol)

[zealous frost]

they are just pad mount with an electric start, but usually only like 7.5kw

[half narwhal]

(hence i was saying you would need a block swap)

[half narwhal]

gotcha

only ones ive dealt with are just big enough to power a small cabin

[zealous frost]

ahh, you're talking the little suitcase ones. Yeah, i've never played with ones that small, but i've had the kind that's a big cube with wheels basically. I use one of those as a manual standby genset

[karmic belfry]

Most of the standard portable house generators I've seen have a pull start as a backup to the battery. As someone who grew up in the middle of the woods, that pull start got a lot of use

[long dagger]

wahooo /j

[storm lintel]

Well, obviously less than ideal, but at least they found the problems with the generator now, instead of during a big storm or something

[autumn yarrow]

Oh huh, serindipidous

I cant spell

[river vortex]

Anyone know why thor's power is down?

[cinder yew]

ANOTHER ONE

[pine pumice]

Why?

[brisk sparrow]

He’d (or the mods) would probably tell us if they knew.

[spiral matrix]

It's weather

No ETA on fix

[glossy tartan]

Well the offline stream chat has offically turned to emotes only so hopefully they will get their power back before tomorrow and we can see Thor stream again. Sucks we are missing AoC though

[brazen imp]

Yeah, I was looking forward to AoC. Its always so much fun.

[visual yacht]

Watch streak: 239

[long dagger]

looks like the outage is fine now

[jagged relic]

Is thor streaming today or has he said anything?

[proud depot]

he started streaming, but his power went out. And at this point even if his power has come back on its a bit too late to start streaming again.

[jagged relic]

Okay thank you

[storm lintel]

Weird, you'd think with such a large outage, there'd be at least some reporting on the cause by now. But all I can find is rumor sites reporting on it, nothing official

[proper bay]

i think someone said it was the weather? i’m sure of it was like important cuz something bad happened they’d let ppl know we were out of power for a day and a half cuz of an ice storm once

[vague palm]

Expecting power companies to report on causes of outages? Nah. They'll barely even acknowledge there was an outage most of the time

[storm lintel]

Sure, but that's kind of what journalism is for. Power companies in my area suck for sure, I've written plenty of nicely worded letters, but the news outlets are usually on it

[young oyster]

any updates on the blackout?

[small yacht]

@young oyster only a few customer outages according to the map, may or may not include thor, but they also may have other things that need to be be checked on before we'll know.

[young oyster]

fair enough, i hope the ferrets are okay

[small yacht]

i am sure as soon as thor saw his generator needed something he went and got parts or a new one. everything he's ever said or done lets me know he's got their situation good 🙂

[storm lintel]

Yeah, never heard anything take priority over them, I'm sure they're the sole focus right now. I can't wait to hear his reaction to the Goblins getting a Lv 30 hype train to an offline stream though

[river vortex]

31.43 hype actually

[storm lintel]

"Absolute Goblin behavior"

[open moon]

It absolutely is XD

[warm rapids]

Anyone hae a good obs plugin for streaming to twitch and youtube at the same time? I've tried two and they both crash my obs when trying to put a delay on stream

[sudden garnet]

good evening eveyrone

[silent plume]

we are back

[lament nacelle]

Great!

[storm lintel]

I'd recommend checking out our #software channel under the streaming section. Tons of great people there with the specific know-how you're looking for 👍

[golden mirage]

You can try doing a TTS on stream and asking Thor. I'm sure he has some sort of plugin set up to stream ferrets to both twitch and youtube at the same time.

[fresh ginkgo]

Whatthe

[mortal ice]

You saw that too huh

[slow island]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_yGyzD5geQ&ab_channel=TechGrant

[fresh ginkgo]

Notification on my phone saying a stream started now, nearly 2 hours early.
And yet there's no stream actually going, plus #streams says stuff is down anyways

I am VERY confused right now, to say the least

[mortal ice]

I got the same notification, but it said I just missed it

[visual pulsar]

Same notification, popup to watch Bajo instead

[weary nebula]

Dont worry about it. Give it time.

[young oyster]

yeah i just got the same notif

[frank geyser]

Me too, had to jump out of bed and wake the PC up to meet offline on his channel

[silk copper]

Twitch works in mysterious ways

[storm lintel]

Strange, I saw nothing?

[frank geyser]

He is live now

[vast falcon]

Today we should pray for those who lost their streak

[proud depot]

*opens twitch to not forget about thor stream in 1.5 hours*, *sees thor live*, *confusion*

[visual yacht]

early start to make up for yesterday

[proud depot]

was gonna watch the rest of that new valve documentary

[storm lintel]

I'm putting headphones in now, still at the bar. Not sorry

[hallow tangle]

man, hearing thor talk about EvE takes me back... drag bubbles, disco ravens for high sec ganks... I miss the days of cruiser and frigate roams through nullsec sigh

[storm lintel]

Actual Pie-Rats is an amazing troll/joke

Love that

[golden mirage]

Thor should adopt them and turn them into our spy team

[storm lintel]

BALDAVIUS!!!

It's so perfect

[storm lintel]

I love the repeated patient and calm explanations of why you've been associating with the wrong people. Very understanding, but not forgiving

This public investigation is so awesome

[wild hollow]

On which server in AoC are you playing?

[arctic temple]

tbh AP is pretty build that no one would dare to pvp you guys

This is my own personal Loss.

I shall take this as an opportunity to inflect, go off into the world, now, and hone my skills. Then, and only then, shall I return, a better man than I once was.

(IDK why I'm saying that I'm still going to watch stream)

[umbral onyx]

Gross lol thank you mods for handling that swiftly

Praise be the ban hammer

[livid warren]

How do I make a tts?

[storm lintel]

Use the SuperChat feature on YT, or submit a Cheer on Twitch with at least 500bits, and include your message in the same text

Remember though that Thor uses a queue system, so it won't be read immediately. And AoC days he tends to get through less than other days

!tts

[dapper raven]

You can have Text To Speech/Talk To Streamer (TTS) for any bit donation 500 or higher. Once submitted, your message will be added to The Queue, which Thor activates manually. If Thor does not get to your message by the end of stream it will become 'Debt' on the 'Debt-Tracker' channel in Discord. Thor pays out to charity when that value hits $7,777 or more. Answered TTS questions are timestamped in Discord in the answered-tts channel.

[regal python]

Anybody tell Thor that there will be próx chat in only fangs?

I’m sure esfand told him

[native atlas]

hey chat!\

[foggy plover]

Animal Well already has two nominations in the Game Awards POG

[storm lintel]

How in the world did Hell Divers2 get nominated for Community Support?

[jolly sky]

'cause actual people aren't the ones voting

[wind topaz]

Has Thor mentioned why he doesn’t show the tts queue size when playing games like AoC? I noticed he DOES cover the censored chat during hype trains… would be nice to swap between that and the TTS stats the rest of the time.

[foggy plover]

I assume he doesn't like the overlay covering things in the game

[storm lintel]

He almost never shows TTS queue during any gameplay. As far as I remember he never showed Hype Train either, but I think he started placing it there during the AoC streams, so maybe he'll keep that up in the future

[wind topaz]

Nominated and voted in are different. Helldivers is so filled with turmoil because the community WANTS to love it, so I’d guess that leads to a lot of potential nominations if you just fill in blanks - they play it, so they write it in as a nom. When voting comes around, they’ll probably pick something else from the list of 4-5 options.

[wind topaz]

It’s a REALLY good feature, and it doesn’t eat a bunch of screen real estate. The issue arises when he’s in a full game day, versus dropping in and out of gameplay - it’s impossible to know if your TTS will be answered based on queue size/time of day. I especially noticed today since my last one was eaten by the power outage, and the early start threw me since I joined “late”. I’m on enough of a budget I’m just waiting for the next stream, but it certainly made me notice.

[wind topaz]

I get that, but he already blurs the chat in AoC so it’s like free real estate.

[storm lintel]

But you'd think the people doing the nominating would be clued in to what's been happening. The category isn't for how many people play the game, it's for how the game supports it's community

I just looked at the nomination committee, Sony is on the board 🤦

[foggy plover]

That overlay takes significant portions of the bottom of his screen. It would definitely cover other parts of the game UI

[wind topaz]

Right, but if you play an esport, Helldivers, and an idle game and aren’t obsessed with the industry or watch streamers play… you probably nominate all three in as many categories as possible to get a win for “your” team.

[wind topaz]

But the hype train overlay for AoC is compact (not the normal hype banner) - the same can be done with TTS.

[serene valley]

💀

[golden mirage]

I wonder if Thor could get enough goblins together, in one spot, to crash the servers.

[lament sun]

i think

this is safely assumed "been there, done that"

only problem is the gatekeeping of AoC since the alpha/beta are gated behind paywall

[storm lintel]

I dunno, they're throwing an awful lot of stuff in a concentrated area, in the middle of the town no less, and it seems to be holding up pretty well

[lament sun]

so if it was free, server worker would already been deadge

[golden mirage]

Maybe, all depends on how robust their server mesh is. Might be a worthwhile test one day.

[polar compass]

I'm there right now and this is running better than the dungeons with half this many people all weekend

[storm lintel]

That's interesting. Usually towns are pretty resource heavy

[golden mirage]

I wonder how many are actually on that roof now.

[rocky venture]

[storm lintel]

Big sadge. My ferret shirt got drowned by drama

[stone nacelle]

i found it 👍

[sharp charm]

I still can't wrap my head around the Sony thing. I can, to an extent, understand why they want PSN numbers. I get it. But blocking it in those countries that can't access PSN seems like a wholly negative move. Because, if they can't access PSN doesn't that mean they can't have a Playstation?
So stopping them from buying it on Steam doesn't drive them to buy it on Playstation.
Does anyone know if no PSN means no Playstation period?

[vague palm]

Plenty of people create accounts in other regions, but if you're not willing to cheat then yeah, basically.

I mean you can buy disk games still, but many of those won't even function without updates nowadays.

But basically their new CEO thinks of the PC releases as bait to get people onto playstation, he doesn't seem to even care about how well they do outside of that ecosystem

[sharp charm]

Hmm.. yeah, I can see that maybe that pushes those people to say, buy a physical copy of God of War: Ragnarok. But it serves no purpose to lock those people out of being able to purchase something Like Helldivers II.
As shitty as a reason it is for them to want to push money from a third party platform to their own platform, it makes sense.
But for them to want to push the money from a third party platform into a hole in the ground, to just bury it and say "Nah, we don't want that money."
I makes no sense 😕

[vague palm]

It doesn't, but they're not exactly known for being smart

[sharp charm]

You know, that might just be the best answer
I like to try and understand why things are the way they are and I was thinking that maybe I was just missing some key information.
But in this situation, it could just be that it doesn't make sense because it just doesn't make any god damn sense!

[vague palm]

No. Plenty of people -- and companies -- make decisions which hurt them without any good reason to do so

When Sony started doing PC ports, they specifically pointed out that they're doing so because market analysis shows that PC gamers are unlikely to buy a home console.
And then this new guy comes in and goes, LeT's fOrCe tHeM!

[visual yacht]

So, @minor nymph I get up after having a snooze, and we've been raided into PremierTwo, who raided into notoriousmonstertv, who were having a watchparty, streaming a movie, which I know you don't like

[wind topaz]

So... power outage day is not in the debt tracker either?

[storm lintel]

All of that is kept in local apps from what I understand, so there'd be no way to recover it with such a crash. In the past when something happens, Thor usually does his best to approximate the value and add it to the debt.

Can't speak to this exact situation, but they may be dealing with other complications before addressing that

[wind topaz]

Oh yeah, if it pushes money and it's all local, that generator suddenly becomes way more important.

[rain mist]

@ebon forge Hey, I had Thor's stream on earlier today while working from home and happened to pick up on a particular request regarding "Infinity Droppings." It's very amateurish, but I've slapped together a quick 128x128px design for you

Hey guys! Do you guys know when Thor first streamed AOC? Looking to watch the VOD on his first few hours in the game

[long pilot]

https://twitchtracker.com/piratesoftware/games/497509 this lists all the times Thor has streamed AoC, I think? Oct 27th will be the one you want, other early ones will have been demos.

[foggy plover]

Is something sus going on? Thor doesn't normally get this many mod donos back-to-back like this.

[mortal lodge]

bot attack

[foggy plover]

I'm not talking about the bots in chat. I'm talking about the donos to the mods.

[long pilot]

goblins being goblins?

$20.69 is definitely goblin behaviour.

[ember thistle]

who is hiemdal?

[foggy plover]

And so are the $7.77 and $77 donos. But the others, and the volume.....

[foggy plover]

Heimdall is a bot Thor created that can block and auto-ban comments/users based on some regexes and other strings he programmed in. I think he wrote it all in Streamer.Bot?

[sharp tree]

How does one become a mod?

[foggy plover]

You don't

[azure glen]

Wait for an application to open up, otherwise not

[foggy plover]

In the unlikely event they decide to hire a new mod, or an existing mod moves on, I'm sure there is a hiring process, but best of luck being picked amongst the 1000s of goblin applicants.

[summer night]

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2306043520 he pulls thor in about the 1hr40 min mark

or i think its there i've been listening between meetings so been pausing alot

[sacred junco]

I'll find when thor is on the call

also there is timestamps on twitch vods, I guess you just not use it

[summer night]

im stupid

https://tenor.com/view/oops-whoopsies-adam-de-vine-gif-7976025

[sacred junco]

also, much, Much more intuitive than the only seconds youtube used

cause it has hours, minutes and seconds format

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2306043520?t=01h31m14s

[summer night]

i mean i wasnt far off

[sacred junco]

Yea, the timestamp you gave me is right when they started talking about the tweet
I just want the definitive start of the conversation

[forest glacier]

I CANT with finance bros. The blatant disregard for common sense and critical thinking enrages me. Bro’s a living bot.

[summer night]

tbh his not totally disregarding its more reading chat a one of the VIP's i seen in passing and his annoying me

same vip thats been calling thor stuff just hate speech

[forest glacier]

16 minutes into it, just seemed like dude was trying anything in his power to not be wrong. Moving the goalpost, switching approach. The thing that got me is him acting like secondary data is gospel and should be extrapolated into an imaginary big picture of the happenings at Twitch. It’s so brain dead.

[sacred junco]

https://fixupx.com/PirateSoftware/status/1859026418463895800

at the end of the day, its fine

the dan guy is definitely trying to speak of thor in a bad way

[summer night]

yup its more the dan guy i cant stand

[forest glacier]

I can still hate the way someone talks and approaches things, whether they’re right or wrong.

[sacred junco]

oh yea thats fine

I guess I read yours as, devin is actively not taking thor's stance into consideration

[forest glacier]

That’s why the first thing I said was “I can’t with finance bros” lmao

[forest glacier]

It’s close to that, it feels like he is shallow in his consideration of Thors opinion, and as I said, is trying desperately to not be wrong.

Seemed like he really wanted to defend the “adpocolypse” event as real. Maybe he backed off of it a little because of Thor but the way it seemed like he was handling it, it bothered me.

[sacred junco]

specific to this conversation, it's the loud mouth audience that irks me the most

[summer night]

https://tenor.com/view/kekpunk-kekpunks-gif-1843620448175954372

[forest glacier]

If this is the same guy that misquoted Thor, I can’t blame the chat. He made people believe bad things about Thor and that’s a HIM problem, I would have sought defamation suit.

[sacred junco]

thor and devin is your typical example of a "thor's ideal debate" where both sides came out feeling like they did not achieve all of their points

and then theres the highly polarized audience who's rooting for one side (in this case devin) who demands total annihilation

[forest glacier]

lol. That’s just the internet.

[summer night]

unfortunately

[forest glacier]

Less to recoup damages and more to set the precedent that you can’t entirely fabricate a damaging lie about someone and get away with it, because that’s what defamation is. A court W would also be the giant sign with flashing lights that proves to imbeciles that can’t read that Thor is innocent of accused offense. (If that even changes their mind through cognitive dissonance)

[sacred junco]

also, did the dan guy came on mic later on?

Im at 2hr17m ish and it sounded like thor's part is near it's conclusion

[summer night]

havent got that far yet

[forest glacier]

Is that who misquoted? I only heard about it on stream, don’t have Twitter, not certain on names.

[sacred junco]

tbh, both thor and devin has facts that are "experience based". Devin works in the advertising industries, deals stuff specifically for brands on twitch, youtube, has contacts that over time proven to be trustworthy. Thor has experienced many events on platforms he's on that looks like the end of said platforms, but turned out to not be such a huge issue as people blown it out to be.
which I think is an angle that say dan trying to dig in cause on the surface, thor seems to be a objective head, only hard numbers and datas.

reminds me of 2 camps in the audiophile community
on one side you have the objectives, those who swear by frequency response graphs, measurements, the definitive quantities.
and then the subjectives, where what you like from hearing from your ear is the good stuff.

[summer night]

agreed

Only if Dan not being an a-hole when trying to prove his points

I came in this setting aside what Thor has said on stream yesterday about dan as much as possible, cause it is a bias factor.
and if this is what a communication from dan looks like when he has a disagreement in opinion to someone else? I'd rather avoid him as well

on someone else's channel no less

[sacred junco]

also because I did not read what dan has tweeted, so it is definitely a bias just listening to what thor said from his memory

oh god I'm getting to that point

[hard jackal]

To be fair, I don’t know Davin or Dan, nor do I have any idea who they are. Devin seems knowledgeable in the field, and the conversation between him and Thor has been constructive so far—it’s a discussion with differing viewpoints.

Then there’s Dan, screeching in the background and tarnishing everything with profanity. I just don’t get it.

[summer night]

so dan has this hatred from the looks of it for twitch's higher ups and is very political driven has butted heads with hasan alot but even hasan "at points" can discuss. Dan is just screaming

[hard jackal]

It seems like content I don’t engage with. Neither Hasan nor whatever Dan is doing appeals to me, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

[sacred junco]

Is dan also talking about politics like hasan?

[summer night]

yeah

[sacred junco]

oh yea
no wonder

[summer night]

but going around and saying someone is antisemitism because i dont agree is stupid

and ive seen all the tweets

[sacred junco]

bloody hell, hanlon's razor is true once again

[summer night]

i mean

you doubted it?

[sacred junco]

No?
to be honest, I only know about those philosophical ideas from thor

recently

[summer night]

ahhhh i get you. yeah i live by them its why i try and see both sides before deciding

i just hate hate speech

[sacred junco]

question, do you have to learn any philosophical ideology, ideas, etc, even tho you are not enrolling in philosophical centric degrees?
for example, do you have to learn about say marxism or capitalism if you enroll for a degree in robotics?

[summer night]

if a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound and no one is around

you get the point

[sacred junco]

I hope I got the point tbh with you
english is not my native language, and that is an idiom that I don't know

[summer night]

i believe everyone should have their own thoughts and ideas on things.

[summer night]

i did mate 🙂 you're good 🙂

[summer night]

BUT SCREAMING LIKE A CHILD HELPS NO ONE .... it just gives us a headache ..... dan

[sacred junco]

ah I see
asking this, cause I do in my country, vietnam
hope that doesn't make you think that you know, government doing censorship or whatever. It's a quirk in our education system that is probably not in line with others

[summer night]

its okay mate you're safe here no worries. everyone has different outputs

[summer night]

btw love vietnam everyone is so friendly and the food is soooo good

[sacred junco]

Thank you! 😄

[vague palm]

is it vietnam or viet nam
I see people spell it both ways

[summer night]

its why i love this community everyone is from everywhere and i get to learn a lot of different views and interests

[rocky venture]

And behave as human beans nevertheless.

[vague palm]

A rare occurence nowadays indeed.

[sacred junco]

Both ways are fine tbh, since our alphabet is latin script based
IN vietnamese, it's Việt Nam. So Viet Nam is just the original vietnamese word, convert to the english alphabet, and ignore missing diacritics and tone indicators adobe illustrator style
and then Vietnam is that minus the extra space

[summer night]

unfortunatly its something that is only getting rarer

[sacred junco]

like the westernized version still retains the proper spelling, and so probably nobody will have an issue with that and then do a turkey Türkiye thing ever

[summer night]

seems everything is turning into "who has the loudest scream"

[rocky venture]

Vocal minority. ^.^ It may seem like stuff is going worse, because well.. You hear the screams, but actually majority doesn't even want to look at drama so those echo chambers are formed. That's what I like to believe.

[summer night]

agreed

[sacred junco]

Yea
and when you do your due diligence and look at the issue yourself, come to your own conclusion and decide that you don't want to talk about it, or take a neutral stance, you get bullied because they think you are a coward.

and actually, all this talk reminded me of one specific tom scott video.

and 1 specific question.

https://youtu.be/dcuNq3Bw9Xs?si=HBwhFjg-Skqm_4_2&t=470

just 3 years ago, at least with that sample size, no one wanted to be in the opposite sides of a spectrum online

[rocky venture]

Agreed. And on the other hand, if the issue covers anything even remotely close to politics: There is no middle ground anymore, or other sides than 2. And then the cancel/labeling/whatever you call it begins.

Let's just talk like human beans with differences in their world views and opinions. No harm done.

[summer night]

But how will i know when to throw my poop

jokes aside totally agree

[sacred junco]

Yea
also, listening to devin and thor talking past the tweets, kick does not have a system for advertisers to put ads on their platform, and whatdayouknow that is a huge disincentives for advertisers

kick in technical terms is literally twitch but green

[rocky venture]

Like it's happening now with most vocal ones: Randomly without proper background study. Seems to be working... right..? /s

[summer night]

aye, its twitch same engine, same decal, diffent paint job

BUT MINES BETTER

etc

[sacred junco]

cant wait for twitch sauber f1 team debuting next season /s

[summer night]

can you imagine

i would love that

[sacred junco]

unironically?

[summer night]

yes F1 has to few teams

i want more action

[sacred junco]

Oh yea, that's fair

[vagrant silo]

Kadowawa Corporation just confirmed Sony's interest to aquire them. 😦

[summer night]

isnt that FromSoftwares head?

[vagrant silo]

Yep

[sacred junco]

https://ssl4.eir-parts.net/doc/9468/ir_material7/240956/00.pdf

no decision has been made tho

we will have to wait

[vagrant silo]

Im afraid what might happen if Sony does aquire them and thus FromSoftware. Elden Ring banned without PSN incoming 🤣

[sacred junco]

unfortunate if true

[summer night]

now im never going to see thor complete elden ring

[sacred junco]

kinda like news about intel being targeted by qualcomm for acquisition recently.
hasn't materialized yet so who knows 🤷‍♀️

[vagrant silo]

Well its not Sony's yet and even if they do its going be years before you see any changes. We have time brother.

[sacred junco]

this is like duties kadowaka has to do for law compliance

No, its just a media, promotional and advertising company. They don't control From Soft

Fromsoft can just choose a different company for their advertising/etc next time they need to

[rocky venture]

[jolly sky]

Ahhhh shit

Well, in this case I hate that I'm wrong

Usually being wrong is a good thing as it means I've learned something new

but I hate that I've learned that

[summer night]

Don’t worry mate, learning is improving

[vague palm]

Kadokawa owns a lot of stuff. FromSoft is one, but they also own Spike Chunsoft, another massive publisher, and then they own stuff like Bookwalker, NicoNico, Yen Press...
This should be enough to trigger a possible antitrust investigation, in my amateurish view, but I obviously don't know if it will.

The Microsoft Activision acquisition wasn't nearly as egrigiously huge as this, though.

(of course, this is Japan and that was US, too)

[jolly sky]

Nothing improves with this found knowledge

[summer night]

Noooooo but …… I’ve got nothing

[jolly sky]

Apparently Kadowawa wants Sony to take a majority stake before Kakao, a company from South Korea who already own a stake of Kadowawa, pushes for more

Hopefully it won't go ahead, because it would give Sony a near-monopoly on most Japanese media

[lament sun]

oh

is sony going to buy bdo

because kakao owns bdo now

lmao

[vague palm]

It'd be fairly horrible. Not really "monopoly" levels of horrible, but it would give them a lot of control

[lament sun]

i mean

tencent is the monopoly here

[vague palm]

...Tencent is Chinese, not Japanese. Has nothing to do with anything.

[lament sun]

tencent owns a little bit of FS

[jolly sky]

Hence why I said, Near Monopoly

[lament sun]

yea tencent owns stakes in most if not every major mmo in SEA

and Hades for reasons

because 40% of Epic games ig

tencent owns 5-10% of the sekiro IP, depends on how the contract got signed

since FS uses Activision as publisher for it

and it got merged with the blizzard stuff

[haughty pelican]

Tencent will soon absorb all entertainment industrys

Outcome: Everlasting tactical Mandate of Heaven

[jolly sky]

I'd honestly respect it if Fromsoft just said "No" and bowed out of making video games rather than putting up with either of those mega-corporations

[vague palm]

I mean, they can do that, but if they're bought their IP goes to Sony and then they just make someone else make those games instead.

Which would probably feel even worse.

[jolly sky]

AFAIK there isn't much else in development right now, and I think "Staff at Fromsoft leaves to create new company" would be alarm bells for anything made afterwards

[vague palm]

Well, when the Hearthstone devs left Blizzard it didn't really kill that game or anything, so... eh...

[jolly sky]

Yea but that game already exists, sort of harder to argue for

[vague palm]

Yeah, well, it's one example that came to mind.
You are also making the assumption that FromSoft doesn't want this, somehow (though whether they do or not is irrelevant, it'll be up to the KADOKAWA people to decide). They might be perfectly fine operating under Sony -- they have an established partnership with them as it is.

Like their games were PS-exclusive for the longest time

[jolly sky]

I just don't want mandatory garbage PSN signup on future games from them if it goes through

Such an unfathomably dingus decision

[vague palm]

Yeah, it'll likely happen to anything Sony publishes. Or worse, it's gonna be a PS exclusive again.

[storm lintel]

It is unfortunate that a lot of studios are moving in the direction of forcing accounts in order to play their game. Mentioning Hearthstone, I was playing on a guest account for ages, and they finally forced me into signing up. Haven't played since

[vague palm]

It's certainly a dumb thing. Creating more security concerns for users

Doing it to singleplayer games is a whole other category of sin though

[storm lintel]

I kind of get it, it makes it easier to track and ban bad actors, but it does suck on the end user side

[storm lintel]

Agreed. There's no reasonable argument to be made for that

[vague palm]

Except it doesn't really.
There is nothing stopping you from banning a Steam account -- and you should, because that's where the player actually owns the game.
Banning a PSN account... well, now the player makes a new one and logs in with that... to the game they still own... on Steam...

[serene bramble]

Did Thor lose power in the storm?

[vague palm]

If you mean a few days ago, yeah. It's back now tho lol

[serene bramble]

There was another storm today/last night from the sound of it

just hope everyone is safe, preferably with power and internet

[vague palm]

Well, I can see that Thor is online here, so I guess they're fine

[golden mirage]

I'm confused about something. I'm watching the stream from earlier with Devin and Devin keeps talking about the proverbial bomb that has dropped and caused advertisers to start withdrawing. What was the proverbial bomb? What happened to kick start this whole thing? Is he claiming this is a fallout from the election or something else?

[sacred junco]

My understanding is that the bomb is all the not ad friendly streams and categories in broad. It may have started when bathtub and sexual suggestive streams ran rampant on twitch with no repercussions, but the catalyst that made advertisers to run away is the increasing popularity in polarized politics streams.

That's what I remembered Devin meant with the bomb metaphor

[golden mirage]

I see, that makes sense. Thanks

[nocturne epoch]

Hey does Thor stream on American Thanksgiving? I know that he says he streams on holidays but also he doesn’t stream on Thursdays

[golden mirage]

Halloween was also on a thursday this year and he streamed. He said he plans to stream on thanksgiving so I'd assume he will even if its on a thursday.

[nocturne epoch]

alright

[minor nymph]

@minor nymph is an adpocalypse

[ocean cedar]

I can't remember for the life of me, is next stream starting early? I'd heard something about a WoW-athon with Esfand the other day.

[serene spruce]

Thor typically doesn't stream on Wednesdays or Thursdays.

If there is a change of plans outside the ordinary, #news or #streams will have the updated info.

[ocean cedar]

Ahh I forgot to think of that! I know he usually doesn't stream today, but was unsure bc I heard him say something the other day about a possible early stream so he could play WoW with Esfand. Guess plans were altered lol.
Thanks!

[late bane]

Thor did ask Khronos yesterday and i quote, "how do you feel about a 22 hours stream?". so i assume he'll start the Friday stream 10 hours early, maybe? which would be later this Thursday. don't quote ME on that tho.

[serene spruce]

Or he could have been memeing, it definitely could have been that.

[late bane]

i mean he's playing with Esfand and Annie, and afaik they're going live this Thursday... Though i guess that doesn't necessarily mean he's gonna go live then.

[golden mirage]

Thor memeing? That would never happen.

[serene spruce]

Well, just because Esfand and Annie are streaming, it doesn't mean Thor will be.

He could just be hanging out with them in a call, and playing the game with them.

[abstract raven]

No, I seem to recall that if you wanted to join that server you had to stream when you were playing - which was when Thor asked Khronos about extending the stream... If he does go online and it is a 22 hour stream (as was suggested) that goes into Friday we have a good few hours yet.

But I agree that there has been no update on the schedule or in the News or Stream channels - so I don't know

Just have to wait and see I guess?

[flint lynx]

He said at the end of the last stream that he will indeed stream "on Thursday, when Onlyfangs starts": https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2305620851?t=12h27m20s

(No idea when that is exactly though, couldn't find that info online)

(could barely find any info about onlyfangs actually, tbh; is there a dedicated page or post or anything about it somewhere?)

[serene spruce]

...Man... I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to watch it.

[zealous frost]

I was just trying to figure out what only fangs is, and just searching for the term onlyfangs returns reddit pages asking the same thing

[flint lynx]

I know right? all I could find is people talking about it, but no official source lol

[zealous frost]

It's wow classic hardcore content farm with extra steps i think

[flint lynx]

I understand that it's basically a hermitcraft kind of situation, but with wow instead of minecraft (note: it's possible that I may not 100% know what hermitcraft is about)

[zealous frost]

something about race superiority and that's why thor had to take a test to be a troll

[zealous frost]

I wish i knew what hermitcraft was

The rimworld equivalent is probably rimmanship

It's just funny that when you google onlyfangs this is the #1 result

https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/can-anyone-explain-what-onlyfangs-fangsly-are/2011280

[woeful geyser]

aren't they just basically guilds consisting purely of content creators

[unique pond]

It should be an cooperation from a lot Youtuber, streamer where they play Wow Classic on hardcore, with the goal to beat a raid. You can find videos on youtube for it. The raid was the goal the last time i heard of it.

[zealous frost]

"They’re doing a “Return to HC” kind of event when the HC Fresh servers come out and Sodapoppin’ is creating literal WarCraft racism by locking people into a specific race based on a questionnaire. You achieve certain things in game you gain points for your race that your race can then use to get things like loot priority in raids. Some things give points some things take away points."

from the forum post

[flint lynx]

yeah
there's a good detailed post at the end as well, from "Viratrix"

there: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/can-anyone-explain-what-onlyfangs-fangsly-are/2011280/20

they really need a website or somethin, i did not care enough to scroll past that first description. Got the idea and moved on

[strange owl]

That dancantstream guy got banned from twitch for extreme harassment apparently.

[vague palm]

Well, now his username isn't a lie at least

[jolly sky]

If you'd seen his comments in some Twitch videos, you'd see how well earned the ban was lol

Completely unhinged heathenous actions

Comes across as someone completely consumed by anger and is firing everything in all directions

[ember thistle]

is today hardcore wow with onlyfangs?

[olive arrow]

At some point yes, though no one is sure on what time it will start.

[ember thistle]

I know thor is playing with Esfandtv

[olive arrow]

After some digging, it looks like the servers go live at 2PM PST, so I'd hazard a guess that Thor will go live around that time.

[summer night]

everyone ready for a 22 hour stream?

[summer night]

https://tenor.com/view/fabuloso-confetti-fabulous-wow-gif-14529818

but i have a feeling i wasnt alone

[frank geyser]

<t:1732226400:t>
<t:1732226400:R>
Lets see if this works then

[ember thistle]

why did dancantstream was he harrasing thor

[jolly sky]

He was harassing everyone he would see as a target in his eyes

[summer night]

one of many

he was vile on kick

really vile

[ember thistle]

good on him

he should get banned

[summer night]

and he also seemed on devin's stream totally pissed that thor and devin agreed to a point

[ember thistle]

I heard bluesky is banning alot of far right on there too so I am happy

[summer night]

with lots of crying etc etc

[ember thistle]

deserved

[summer night]

and sure they did dan

not that you was being horrid but because you was leaving

[ember thistle]

Did thor ban him in his chat?

[summer night]

yup and the twitter accounts

[jolly sky]

dancantstream was doing a good thing in bringing certain things to light on twitch, but just doing it in one of the absolute worst ways possible

[summer night]

i forgot my favourite one

[ember thistle]

lol

when did it start to happen

[summer night]

last week

[ember thistle]

did he do this last stream

[olive arrow]

Genuine question, what things was he trying to draw attention to regarding Twitch?

[ember thistle]

Ads or political streams

[summer night]

this was on devin's stream when thor and him was chatting

[summer night]

his both

[jolly sky]

So things like bringing up the difference in how bans and moderation was and is done on Twitch, like two people committing the same offences but getting vastly different sentences

[ember thistle]

or vtubers being treated like shit

[jolly sky]

Yea that too

[ember thistle]

that is why most vtubers stream to youtube

[jolly sky]

I agree with the reasons of his actions, but not the methods

[ember thistle]

he is also trying to expose hasan

[jolly sky]

And of course I don't agree with his vitriolic behaviour

[ember thistle]

and asmongold

[summer night]

but yeah last week thor said something about the policy changes and then dan went off at him about the current climate throwing hate and thor said dont being hate at me im blocking you then after said a few things about thor that i dont want to repeat

i agree punishments should be the same but attacking people yeah his got no ground that i care about

devin interview was good tho anyone want to watch it https://youtu.be/lxm90ZEoKls?si=gLtIiGQX-WTObGkE

nice to see the other sides of someone buying ads

[jolly sky]

Yea, Thor is on the Streamer side of things, Devin Nash is on the Selling Ads side of things, so you get two different perspectives that while initially are (sort of) against each other, they have an adult conversation and debate to realise where each other stands, and then come to agree with each others points

It's nice to see adult conversations without vitriol being thrown around

Hello Everyone, BrainBlast4days here. I was just wondering if there was a place i can talk to begginer streamers on master thors discord. I hit affiliate on twitch in less then 3 weeks and just am so overwhelmed with what i should do and how to do it and its so awesome but at the same time realy is stressful, I would love the chance to talk to or be pointed in the right direction. I hoope everyone is having a fantastic day and has something good happen to them !

[frosty socket]

about 22, actually, he started with Esfand and Co, and is gonna end at normal time, so he's gonna be... interesting by end of stream, lol

[digital canyon]

Nice to see we're reaching the Find Out portion of things, after all their F-ing Around...

And we can talk about Hasan, Asmongold, and the whole thing that's been going on... but the Mods won't like it, because it's very political...

The tl;dr that buries all the context and nuance...
Is that some people didn't like it when Asmon got banned for being racist on twitch. Including Asmon (who shockingly did not clean up his act). And they've been brigading Hasan and other people who have pro-Palestine political opinions since then.
