streamchat

[vague elk]

YouTube says he's playing Ashes. Maybe forgotten to change in the drama?

[formal kestrel]

i think its not helping that one other in the party right now is just talking crap the entire time too

[vague elk]

Or is it just a YouTube thing?

[wintry pond]

fine on twitch

[verbal depot]

Just YouTube cache, I see this.

[deep bloom]

Question about WoW: are the giant summoning stones (the ones outside the dungeons) still there? I haven't seen Thor use them yet, nor have I seen them proper. I could be just blind to them for whatever reason, but I just want to be sure.

[vague elk]

Not the title.. when you scroll down to the game card.

[formal kestrel]

yeah i went on and its this too

oh

can try let a mod know

[verbal depot]

<@&362005405901127710>

[formal kestrel]

youtube has game set to ashes not WoW

[main ruin]

Don't ping us for this

Not a priority right now

[toxic garden]

I hate that I had to leave the stream because all the haters are stressing me out. Mods are kicking so much ass

[verbal depot]

ok, I though you don't prioritize those pings but it is easy way for you to let Thor know

[main ruin]

It's being fixed but please use pings sparingly right now

[viscid kraken]

Done

[turbid ingot]

what are the haters?

[burnt bobcat]

That wasn't implemented until a later expansion. They are called meeting stones in classic and don't serve any function

[deep bloom]

Ahh. It's been too long since I've last played Classic, so I have completely forgotten. Thank you for the clarification!

[formal kestrel]

stuff got messed up in a dungeon, 2 people died and there are lots just trying to blame thor for it all after getting a very curated view intended to try paint thor in a bad way with it all cos they think mages should be able to play god and rescue everything

[static otter]

Instructions unclear. The Game

[vague elk]

As i understand it the mage has a lot of survivability for themselves.

[turbid ingot]

as a certified hater of live service games i can confidently say that i dont care and i dont understand why anyone else would either

[sharp tree]

https://tenor.com/view/curses-foiled-again-dammit-he-man-gif-5471587

[turbid ingot]

"we lost a wow raid because of you" what are you talking about

[burnt bobcat]

They do, but everyone is arguing that he can use a low rank of frost nova and blizzard with the mana he had left to Crowd Control the packs and then just run from the boss

[verbal depot]

did you just Lost the Game ?

[burnt bobcat]

I don't blame Thor for not wanting to risk his character. I'd have done the same thing in his shoes

[static otter]

I don't know, too hot to think

Can't lose if I can't think

[sharp tree]

You need ghost pepper hot sauce. Chug a small bottle of that if you ever get sick. Easiest way to clear your system. Lol

[strange owl]

If the tank/shotcaller says run I don't care what others in the party say, I'm running, even in retail.

[formal kestrel]

it was also that it was just 2 people called run then hesitated on actually running

then were confused why thor ran

like what do you expect

XD

[verbal depot]

he was almost out of mana and still casted to help them

[formal kestrel]

was also 2nd time theyd messed up in that dungeon

[verbal depot]

yeah, in a row 😄

[strange owl]

Yeah I was honestly surprised he went in again

[vague elk]

People can learn.

[static otter]

This whole thing to me is so bizarre as someone who only played wow a little bit, never being in raids

[formal kestrel]

the one that made most issue around it even was like "the vibes are off" but went again anyway after saying 0 about it

[vague elk]

But also not. It's wise to be cautious.

[static otter]

Did I ever tell you what the definition of ins...

[strange owl]

If there's potential for a fix it's worth going in again, but if it's just off there's no real point. I mean he did fix a similar mess in the Jadez run earlier.

[static otter]

Are there plans to attempt that dungeon again soon

[strange owl]

he's done it several times after afaik

[static otter]

Aah

[strange owl]

Sorry, sunglitters, not jadez, or maybe that was the same run, idk.

[formal kestrel]

he did it again later that day with a different group

that didnt play dumb with it so

obviously went way better

[static otter]

Ah, cool. I was traveling so I missed all of this

The whole thing is so weird to me. People talking like as if someone actually died.

[river charm]

Confusion is probably a healthy emotional reaction to learning about this stuff

[verbal depot]

I am not sure if it was the same dungeon or different but he even got into group with really good communication.

[vague elk]

Hardcore is a hell of a content drug.

[sullen summit]

I want to play hardcore, but dang I die in retail too much lol

finding out the hardway too often liike yesterday, if it's huge, leave it be... >.>

if it's eliet level it be.

[hexed sphinx]

same it was always some stupiest things :D

[vague elk]

You definitely need to learn patience, because you will grind the less dangerous elements a lot, but it just takes time

[hexed sphinx]

You know good way to learn patience is start playing souls games

[vague elk]

My ADHD riddled brain is absolutely refusing~

[hexed sphinx]

They teach you new level of patience and frustration

3h after dying to same boss your soul just leave the body and you cant feel a thing anymore :D

[verbal depot]

just the frustration, no patience
they also teach you the power of one-shots

[uncut plover]

Love for the mods! Thank you mod team!

[hexed sphinx]

I learned to be more patient from souls but people are different in the end.

[proud trail]

Serial lurker here - Still not fully caught up with whatever is going on, but just wanted to take a quick second and wish everyone that they stay safe and take care of themselves; Thor, mods, goblins, you're all awesome and kick ass. Thank you for building this community together and feed all the bread to the mods.

[hexed sphinx]

Situation exploded way too much and went too far over the video game. Pretty much that it is.

I watched so many videos about it I wish I hadn't like eventually got pissed how people started to laugh, insult and mock Thor. I won´t tolerate that kind of behaviour so went on spree starting hide channel recommendations and mark whole drama not interested even unsub few youtubers.

[formal kestrel]

was very overblown in the first place cos emotional reaction over 2 people dying

[vague elk]

Weakness Culled; but my condolences to the two who died.

[formal kestrel]

gone way too far though its insane

[proud trail]

Yeah, I only found out as far as that it was something that happened in WoW and stopped at that point because it's clearly blown out of proportion

[formal kestrel]

even the ones that died were like it happens its fine we go again im pretty sure

[hexed sphinx]

Someone even made comment he never worked in blizzard and was just an intern bringing everyone coffee. Someone who works in infosec like that is not cool.

I have never been this pissed at my life I am for taking this crap too far. :D

[static reef]

I mean, its more about the behaviour after the fact, rather than characters dying. Yes some streamers and a lot of toxic folks are just toxic, but a lot of them point out the whole groups mistakes, but the main point was the behaviour of Thor, that is the issue with most people

[formal kestrel]

if they wanted an adult conversation about it then yamato wouldnt have continually tried yelling over thor after

[golden latch]

And he has taken responsibility but isnt gonna try and follow goal posts they keep moving

[formal kestrel]

both times

[hexed sphinx]

Exactly he took responsible in his own way not just pleasing people wanting to say them what they wanted to hear.

[formal kestrel]

hes not going to degrade himself to appease people

which is what those people seem to want

[vague elk]

Blizzard Barrista; Barrizzard

[proud trail]

Is it okay to ask for a clip of what happened? I didn't mean to remind everyone of it with my message, just genuinely wanted to remind everybody to take care of themselves among this whole hate wave thing

[static reef]

I guess. I dont fully see it, but perhaps. I just would expect a different response. And thats for me to deal with.

[vague elk]

https://www.twitch.tv/piratesoftware/clip/WealthyExuberantMuleBudBlast-Yd6BVx8Ce877ol4C I think this is the clip.

[hexed sphinx]

I understand, my big sister is exactly same never says sorry when done mistake but isn't her strong suite. But instead of that she doesn´t hold grudges and moves on. :D But it was there in this situation you can read it between the lines but not just the way people wanted it though

[formal kestrel]

this is timestamp of thor going over it afterwards too

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2351197472?t=8h9m

[formal kestrel]

id rather someone just not say sorry than make a disingenuous apology that they dont actually mean

[hexed sphinx]

^this

[formal kestrel]

all that comes from that is "im sorry you feel that way" where its just saying its your fault you feel that way while still not actually apologising for anything

[static reef]

True

[formal kestrel]

people have very conveniently ignored him going over why he did what he did too and being like "whys he doing a high rank blizzard there instead of a low rank one - reason hes stupid and messed up"

[marsh cargo]

I'm even more confused now tbh. All this over a game loss?

[formal kestrel]

cos 2 people lost their hardcore characters yeah

[static reef]

No, about Thors responses

[formal kestrel]

if noone died i dont think there would be the same response, noone caused issue over the time they nearly all wiped but managed to live earlier

until they could use it here too

[marsh cargo]

Remind me never to play this game 😛

[hexed sphinx]

Yeah one of the videos I watched was like 50 minutes long rest of it collection was just roasting, insulting, laughing and mocking towards thor.

[vague elk]

Chat is very attached.

[hexed sphinx]

Reason why I stopped in shadowlands LUL

[vague elk]

This might be the right time; I was reminded of the Dan Olson video on this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKP1I7IocYU

[formal kestrel]

yeah asmons was like 90 mins on it cos he went over all what happened in detail from what i understand, and now some are just content farming and not in a good way

[verbal depot]

Did the other players start new characters or are they taking break from WoW?

[scarlet tide]

People have sent death threats over this. Thor could have gotten on his knees and begged for forgiveness and it wouldn't have changed a thing the internet demanded a bloodletting and it was not to be discussed.

[formal kestrel]

kinda why its so bad with the live stream fails reddit

[marsh cargo]

Death threats over losing a WoW character?

WoW

[formal kestrel]

you mean this
https://www.twitch.tv/piratesoftware/clip/SpineyAbrasiveSpindleOptimizePrime-NXeO-X9fMfQfqXfE

[hexed sphinx]

Yeah asmon video was good but for sure content farming the rest.

asmongold channel was only I didnt flagged for not interested and dont recommend this channel in youtube

[scarlet tide]

It's not even the people who characters were lost just random people on the internet whipped into a complete frenzy

[marsh cargo]

is he the one with the dirty house who doesn't brush his teeth?

I've only heard rumours

[opaque hawk]

As someone who's never played wow, this all seems real weird, is this stuff common?

[formal kestrel]

i know like 0 about asmon

[hexed sphinx]

yeah

[marsh cargo]

Incredible

Love the internet

[scarlet tide]

To wow, not unheard of, to the internet at large - it was about due another bout of complete mob rage hysteria

[opaque hawk]

Yeah right, so in wow when you die you lose your character?

[formal kestrel]

in hardcore

[marsh cargo]

I guess it's like in D&D

[opaque hawk]

And someone dying made all these people really angry?

[scarlet tide]

This is a special hardcore rules server

[hexed sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/jim-carrey-bingo-yahtzee-gif-24220820

[opaque hawk]

Interesting

[marsh cargo]

When I saw "2 kids died" I was worried something actually bad had happened 😛

[scarlet tide]

2people died and the internet has decided Thor could have single handedly saved everyone

[opaque hawk]

Idk I usually only tune into the game dev streams so I have no clue what any of this is about, seems weird from the outside looking in tho

[dense karma]

It's not about the deaths or bad plays, but Thor not taking accountability that he could have done something and doubling down and then tripling down and dying on that hill when people that play the game said the way he could have saved them is pretty basic and Thor just refuses to admit that.

[late cape]

People can't separate character from the player.

I also find it interesting that the person sending this witch-hunt after thor is the person who actually should have been taking accountability.

[scarlet tide]

And that justifies death threats???

[marsh cargo]

Eh. Still don't think that really justifies anything.

[scarlet tide]

No nothing justifies death threats and multi day hate raids and people trying to get him arrested

[dense karma]

Obviously not, but people saying that they're blaming him for playing bad is just not true, aatleast 3 people played really bad but only Thor is getting hate which is crazy obviously but it's not for playing bad

[scarlet tide]

No amount of "accountability" would have changed that

People wanted a bloodletting and nothing he could do would have changed it

[marsh cargo]

Uh oh

[opaque hawk]

Idk I don't really have skin in the game but not taking accountability for making a bad decision or whatever in a game doesn't seem like the end of the world? Maybe the guy just thinks he couldn't have done anything in the game idk I don't really get it

[scarlet tide]

He could have gotten down on his knees and begged for forgiveness and those death threats would still have happened

[dense karma]

No one this would have started if when he got out of the dungeon and then said mb guys I panicked, I personally I'm just sad to see his reaction to this after following his content and having and opinion on how of a good a person generally is and how he previously stated that situations similar to this were one of his favorite WoW moments, where shit goes sideways and everyone pulls through to get out everyone alive

[scarlet tide]

If you believe that you're naive about the ways of the internet

[formal kestrel]

the thing theyre upset about is that he didnt sit down and be quiet like a good little boy in the most humiliating degrading way while yamato yelled at him and think hes on some sort of ego trip cos he refused to have that conversation

[hexed sphinx]

If I would have played with group of strangers I would have definitely done the same things. :D Like I am not dying for people I don't know and I wouldn't even have joined them for second time like the first run was bad enough. I would just ignored/block them not worth it of second time and told touch grass. :D

Since Thor is InfoSec man there is something called risk mitigations some risks are not mitigatable when ransomware hits the fan its too late there is nothing to be done that start over and recover.

[late cape]

Thor literally did though, he said there were things he could have done better.

[scarlet tide]

People do not get whipped up into a frenzy of trying to have Thor arrested and his rescue shut down over something that "could have been solved if he apologised"

[dense karma]

No, he said everyone could have done something better, never taking an ounce of accountability on himself.

[formal kestrel]

theyre blaming him for the 2 that died and he wont sit and take that blame so now theyre mad

[indigo wadi]

That's him taking accountability

[dense karma]

Idk every mage player is saying that Thor could have easily helped them out

[indigo wadi]

"EVERYONE" includes himself

[buoyant arrow]

He's by now said several times that the entire group messed up that pull, himself included.

[indigo wadi]

saying that it doesn't is ridic

[buoyant arrow]

Get over it, by this point honestly

[formal kestrel]

"everyone" doesnt mean "everyone but me"

[late cape]

He included himself even though he didn't actually do anything really wrong.

[hexed sphinx]

Sorry I didnt know we were playing TOP 500 tournament with high elo ranking XD

[scarlet tide]

Everyone could have done better that tank should have pulled better the druid shouldn't have asspulled the Rogue did less than thor

[formal kestrel]

noone plays perfect

[indigo wadi]

So stop tunneling on Thor?

[formal kestrel]

they yelled run and then hesitated about it which got people killed

[marsh cargo]

Man I hope I never have to explain why I keep playing so bad in games

Sounds exhausting

[indigo wadi]

It's been nearly 2 days. People need to drop it at this point.

[buoyant arrow]

This kinda nonsense is why I've stayed well away from anything competetive.

Even from cooperative games

[marsh cargo]

I used to play Sauerbraten competitively. That's about as far as I went

[scarlet tide]

People don't want "accountability" they want a bloodletting and the internet will.not stop until it is sated

[marsh cargo]

I should open it up again at some point

My old team has long since disbanded, though 😦

[indigo wadi]

Well too bad. That isn't how things work in the real world.

[marsh cargo]

I don't think I even have their contact details any more

[formal kestrel]

internet timer probably got like 24 hours left

[indigo wadi]

People need to be an actual adult and not be insane over a video game

[marsh cargo]

This will never happen online and you know it

[formal kestrel]

if people behaved like adults none of this would have happened in the first place

[buoyant arrow]

Look someone else in the guild will mess up something and the only ones still on this will be the actually insane people

[scarlet tide]

This is the internet

[indigo wadi]

I don't care

[opaque hawk]

I usually like goofing around in comp games like cs and siege because it's kinda funny but I tend to stay away from them now because alot of the time my teammates don't like that I do that

[formal kestrel]

wish more would

[indigo wadi]

No reason for people to act like they're in a mental asylum

[formal kestrel]

would make the internet one hell of a lot better place to be

[buoyant arrow]

Compstomp used to be my one and only playstyle when I was active in Dawn Of War. Man those were the times

[formal kestrel]

but nature of engagement farming algorithms kinda forces drama to get overblown

[dense karma]

Idk if everyone on "Thor's side" can't admit that doubling and then tripling down that not taking accountability after getting out of the dungeon just wasn't the right/sensible thing to do it's weird

[opaque hawk]

Recently ive been playing rivals but I tend to stay away from comp because I can't imagine people would like the banner main plays

[late cape]

Again, he did take accountability.
He also didn't need to as he didn't actually do anything critically wrong.

[indigo wadi]

He did take accountability, people are choosing to not accept it

[buoyant arrow]

I'm not ON Thors side. Dude sometimes doesn't realize that he sounds condescending to someone else. So what? He's human, not some sort of machine. I just don't find all this calling for "accountability" reasonable or fair.

[indigo wadi]

Jesus, are people literally this willfully ignorant?

[formal kestrel]

if refusing to engage with people that didnt want an adult conversation about it counts as doubling down then idk what more to say

[formal kestrel]

unfortunately

[tropic merlin]

It isn’t about accountability.
It isn’t about people dying.
It isn’t even about Thor running faster than the others.

It’s about Thor not reacting to someone yelling vitriolic language the way that person (who didn’t die in the run) wanted, and the resulting tantrum stirring up an internet mob.

It’s a mess and the mods deserve cake and a vacation somewhere with lots of bread and ferret cuddles.

[marsh cargo]

Can we just agree to stop saying that "people died" because that was extremely confusing to me coming in as someone new

[opaque hawk]

Tbh I'm actually surprised that all this came from a death in wow, I really thought it would have been from something bigger than that

[buoyant arrow]

I do feel that some people are just mad he didn't play into the drama.

[indigo wadi]

Which is wild

[marsh cargo]

Nobody died. Some people lost their characters in a game mode where that's an explicit risk.

[indigo wadi]

I guess that's a sin on the internet these days

[buoyant arrow]

Imo, he did the exact right thing of just walking away from the argument. There was nothing to gain

[indigo wadi]

characters died, that's what we're talking about when we say ppl died in WoW

[formal kestrel]

drama for content isnt a good way of making content

[tropic merlin]

True, I apologize for not wording my comment better.

[formal kestrel]

[marsh cargo]

Yeah I get that, it's just that coming in I had no idea it was over WoW 😛

[buoyant arrow]

Especially when the players of those characters were like "I dunno man, shit happens, go again"

[marsh cargo]

People were like "2 PEOPLE DIED HERE"

I thought I'd missed something really serious or something

[opaque hawk]

Lmaoo yeah I also thought this was from something bigger

[marsh cargo]

Now I have the context I get it, but I was quite concerned for a while there

[buoyant arrow]

The correct outcry would be "BIG STREAMER DOESN'T ENGAGE IN DRAMA! TRUE COLOURS!??! ACCOUNTABILITY OR SOMETHING! REEEE"

[indigo wadi]

lol basically

[marsh cargo]

I'm an old man, okay? I'm not in on the discourse

[buoyant arrow]

You're not missing jack shmit

[marsh cargo]

Yeah I'm kind of sorry I asked tbh

It turned out to be entirely inconsequential

[woeful geyser]

that sums up alot of stream drama

[indigo wadi]

Most internet drama is

[marsh cargo]

lol

[buoyant arrow]

Well, not literally inconsequential, as there've already been 2 swatting attempts on Thor because people are insanely overinvested in a video game

Not to mention the cesspool the mods are having to deal with

[woeful geyser]

people need better hobbies

[marsh cargo]

Yeah bless the mods

[formal kestrel]

dont be sorry to ask, most people are curious and want to have a general overview which i think is perfectly normal

[marsh cargo]

I used to moderate a FLOSS community and that was bad enough

But this is more drama in a few days than I dealt with in 6 years

[formal kestrel]

im mod of a moba channel sooooo you can guess how that is for me at times then

[marsh cargo]

Ho boy

[hexed sphinx]

Like elklore said it wasn't your faul and you were just curios to know. :D

[buoyant arrow]

Man, MOBA communities fascinate me. How can you actually enjoy yourself amongst all that mess.

[formal kestrel]

i just play with my friends

the esports was fun but my god the drama when it happens

[buoyant arrow]

It's like jumping into a pool of acid that saying "At least I'm swimming"

For me at least

[marsh cargo]

I started playing Helldivers recently but had to stop playing public games because everyone takes it way too seriously

[buoyant arrow]

I guess it doesn'T help that I also don't really enjoy the games themselves

[strange owl]

pvp has always had that, it's better in "gated" areas like tournaments and such, but it's usually there.

[formal kestrel]

people get upset cos their internet points mean too much to them

[hexed sphinx]

Try female streamers man I tell you espeacilly the large community and twitch partner. Its next level of things.

[buoyant arrow]

Helldivers was very very fun in the beginning before the Sony mess basically shattered the community. It's very overzealous now

[marsh cargo]

Yeah I still enjoy it but only with my friends

It's got a lot better on Steamdeck recently, which is nice

[formal kestrel]

honestly, knowing thor pays the mods ill not stop supporting him unless he quits streaming and stuff entirely, im not dealign with that crap for free and will never expect another mod to

[buoyant arrow]

The only community I enjoyed playing with was here, unfortunately. Welp

[formal kestrel]

mad respect to them managing the number of people in 2 chats with this going for days

just

[opaque hawk]

Imo it's a game that kinda needs a good group of people to work well

[indigo wadi]

And someone tipped the mods 1k earlier?

[formal kestrel]

yeah its awesome

[marsh cargo]

For sure. We don't play well at all, but we have a great time

That's us in all games

[opaque hawk]

Makes the game really funny

[buoyant arrow]

I've been through several streamers that eventually turned out to be assholes, and I'm confident Thor is not gonna be one of them.

[marsh cargo]

I've been trying to tip for a while but someone over at pally has shipped a bugged component that's causing a crash

[formal kestrel]

yeah the sites having issues

[marsh cargo]

Exactly. Being overwhelmed and just panic deploying strikes that kill each other is the most fun part of the game

Love that kind of thing

I'm just here to laugh

[tropic merlin]

Pally is on the fritz

[formal kestrel]

i wanna tip them some later too ^^

[strange owl]

did they fix that cart injection thing?

[hexed sphinx]

I manage to have small windonw manage to tip then it broke again after payment was authorized

[rotund trout]

Chat, can we move away from blaming etc? I can see most of you have already, please keep it civil

[marsh cargo]

I imagine they've shipped a fix for the component but it's taking a while to roll out to all of their deployments

So you might be getting load balanced from a working container to a broken one

Happens all the time. Takes a while to roll it out across the board

[dusky grove]

chat. instead of focusing on the haters, we should encourage the two who died to go again. IIRC they were called Snupy and Sara

[marsh cargo]

I wouldn't know, though. Last time I worked in software dev I had to run everything off of a single Tomcat server

🙃

[dusky grove]

I found the former's twitch, can't find the latter

[willow fossil]

Infestors, doesn't seem like they stream often though

[hexed sphinx]

At least it not that bad as crowdstrike :D

[marsh cargo]

Eep.

As someone who used to be a systems admin for a college, I'm so glad that happened after I left the role

[formal kestrel]

lmao i cant imagine having to have try to fix it

[marsh cargo]

We didn't use Crowdstrike (mostly just Sophos)

But fixing it over 5 campuses? I wouldn't want to be trying to do that

[undone lance]

had 3 sites and 2 cloud environments affected. suuuuucked.

[hexed sphinx]

you dodged the bullet :D

[hexed sphinx]

not to mention you needed manual fix every one of them

[marsh cargo]

hugops

[hexed sphinx]

I was lucky I got fired before it happened XD

[marsh cargo]

Apparently in some cases you could actually fix them by rebooting them over and over because they would pick up the deployment piece by piece

[marsh cargo]

Oh hey, fired club!

I just got laid off because apparently I'm dumber than AI

Which is true, but you didn't need to say it so many words guys

[strange owl]

you probably just cost more

[marsh cargo]

For now, yeah

But AI is about to get waaaaaay pricier

[hexed sphinx]

I got laid off because they finally realized that they screwed up my recruitment it was not salvagble :D

[marsh cargo]

If OpenAI is losing money on $200 p/m subscriptions, the price hikes are coming

[strange owl]

juding by the price of those nvidia cards I can imagine

[marsh cargo]

Oof. Sorry about that

I was relocated to another country and am now scrambling to find work to keep my visa

[hexed sphinx]

I was hired to do consultanting job they kept me in pay roll 2 years didnt give a single project and I had like 7 months total of projects I get it was easier to just smoke me out and fire so I worked 2 years 7 months

[marsh cargo]

Fortunately, unemployment in Germany is handled far better than in the UK

[marsh cargo]

Amazing incompetence

[formal kestrel]

honestly kinda funny

[marsh cargo]

Typical of companies in my experience

[formal kestrel]

that you did so little

[marsh cargo]

I've never worked for a competent one

[formal kestrel]

cos they didnt give you anything to do

[marsh cargo]

Competent people? Absolutely. Competent leadership? Not once.

[hexed sphinx]

I got to brag my friens that I am getting paid for playing video games and watch netflix XD

[formal kestrel]

lmao

[marsh cargo]

Living the dream tbh

I was a senior technical writer and platform developer. I mostly got paid to tell developers their APIs were terrible and didn't do what they thought they did

I'd document something, they'd tell me that's not how it works, I'd say yes it is, they'd investigate, they'd say "oops"

Every time

At some point you'd have thought they would just trust me

[formal kestrel]

people dont like being told they are wrong

[marsh cargo]

They weren't even wrong tbh. Mostly they'd just lost the context for why something was built the way it was

[hexed sphinx]

I pissed the HR when they found I started to do part time job other company I was 100% full time payment HR started to lecture that you work on other company on our hours you are not doing your job with the hours that you should.

I was like I am? You are paying for me doing nothing so if I am doing nothing I am doing my hours right? The reaction on HR face was priceless didnt like that.

[marsh cargo]

So it didn't work like anyone thought it should, it just worked how it was originally specced to

[formal kestrel]

that makes more sense

[marsh cargo]

But we'd since lost the specs and the communications that led to the specs

[fringe fractal]

Looking at some of the accounts getting banned in Thor's chat, there's some from 2009.... How do you go 16 years on twitch without losing your account with such hate speech lol

[marsh cargo]

Two secs I need to find my favorite thing about consultancy

[formal kestrel]

yeah ive seen lots of 10+ year old accounts joining in and are now going to lose their acconuts cos of it its rediculous

[formal kestrel]

thats really funny

[dusky grove]

I say good riddance. they FAFO

[hexed sphinx]

Nice

[dusky grove]

let's spread some good vibes

[formal kestrel]

LMAO

[marsh cargo]

I love Caleb

Such a chill dude

[hexed sphinx]

this is golden as well

[marsh cargo]

One of the lovely things about working in Germany is that you get to see how Germans deal with bad working conditions (they don't)

[formal kestrel]

dude i love some of the things on these subs

malicious compliance is hilarious at times too

[marsh cargo]

hell yes

[dusky grove]

we love malicious compliance

[marsh cargo]

Malicious compliance is the best

[hexed sphinx]

Yeah its hilarious when you see that literate wording you get give snappy comment on back they know you are right :D

[strange owl]

Sadly, sometimes they do come back with updated rules to account for whatever didn't get done, but at least then you can pinpoint the issue.

[stark ivy]

This sounds biased but I hate HR sometimes they never listen to me and change stuff that happens in the work space

Like it’s your job to solve serious problems yet I never have it happen

[rocky venture]

HR is there for the company.

[stark ivy]

Not for you

[strange owl]

HR works for the company, they don't have your interest at heart

[formal kestrel]

they just make sure the company cant get into trouble

[stark ivy]

Yeah reported 3 men for sexual harassment against me and they got a slap on the wrist

So real

https://tenor.com/view/protogen-gif-22690710

[strange owl]

Yepp, here we have separate entities outside of the company that deals with that stuff

[cerulean dove]

yeah, HR isn't for you, it's to protect the company from you

[formal kestrel]

document things and get a lawyer involved i think is something thor has said before

that really sucks that shouldnt happen to anyone

[marsh cargo]

You really need legal insurance in Germany

[stark ivy]

Yeah well I can’t do shit

[rocky venture]

That's why I guess it's literally called 'Human resources'

[marsh cargo]

Everything goes through the courts

[stark ivy]

We can’t sue people really in New Zealand

Wr can’t do shit

And they’re under 18

So they can do it and be fine

[marsh cargo]

In Germany people sue each other over not paying their share of a bar tab

I wish I was kidding

[stark ivy]

Theyre 17 and irs like come on

People succk

[hexed sphinx]

A work place I was internship my supervisor said I need to work on xmass holiday I was like no I don't and then he did the good old power move if I tell you do you do and I better see you in xmass morning there.

Since puplic transport stopped like after 6pm I had no way to home I was going to sleep in office. So I showed up in work office went to my computer soc analyst come to talk me is like what are you doing here go home.

I explain the situation after holidays supervisor came to me that I heard you came office in xmass why? I was you told me to come and it was direct order.

He answered you know I was joking about? I was I didnt but you do know I was ready to sleep in the office I had my pillow and blankets with me? He went completely silent and I just throwed in his face i was joking or was I? who knows.

[stark ivy]

That’s why I wanna work with animals

I once got called while I was in a different country taking leave

Asking to come in to work

Like sure babe let me get on a plane

[formal kestrel]

lmao

[strange owl]

I simply don't answer my phone after work. I don't work for them at that point so I'll deal with it when I do.

[formal kestrel]

you paying for the flights? XD

[marsh cargo]

"I'm sorry my lord, the steamer isn't scheduled to return to England's shores for a fortnight. T'will be a while before I can till thy land again"

[formal kestrel]

LMAO

unfortunately it seems to have been massively normalised for people to be on call for work 24/7

[marsh cargo]

I wish I had chosen France over Germany. It's illegal to contact people about work if it's not in work hours

[hexed sphinx]

additionally on next holiday he didnt say a word about working on xmass

[marsh cargo]

Based France

Plus you go on strike every half hour

[formal kestrel]

lmao

[marsh cargo]

And you sometimes get to guillotine your boss

As a treat

[hexed sphinx]

the satisfaction my friend of doing that

[jolly sky]

So uh, hows the stream been so far? Only just tuned in

[formal kestrel]

mostly just people coming in to be dumbasses about what happened

[agile zodiac]

could it be that the UI of the hype train is broken? the bar seems to only reach about a third of the way at 100%

[formal kestrel]

but been pretty chill otherwise

[marsh cargo]

I can't follow the Twitch chat tbh. Moves too fast.

[formal kestrel]

eh about 4/10 for speed

XD

[marsh cargo]

I am ELDERLY

[river pivot]

I know the moderation is handled through a mix of automation and people but I'm really hoping with how wide the attacks have been across multiple platforms the team doesn't feel overwhelmed. I'm hopeful there are people they can tap for temporary extra moderation services till things calm down

[marsh cargo]

The mods do great work. I'm glad they're getting plenty of support from the community, too

[formal kestrel]

mods are doing awesome

[strange owl]

they can always employ the ferrets. Beans would be a great mod and as a plus he dislikes bread.

[river pivot]

But if they gave Beans that much power he wouldn't give it up after

[strange owl]

I believe it was Beans that almost banned someone once already

[stark ivy]

Gripper

[marsh cargo]

Meta needs to employ some ferrets. At least they'd have something

Man it would be incredible if they manage to get Meta banned in Europe by removing meaningful moderation

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[hexed sphinx]

I have waited it for years

[marsh cargo]

Same

Especially now that we have Pixelfed and Loops to replace Instagram/TikTok

[hexed sphinx]

everytime they threathen to pull the plug I am like why I have seen this before :D

[marsh cargo]

Burn it all down

[jolly sky]

IIRC the moderators mod for both Twitch chats, Youtube chat, Discord, and the Subreddit. I think thats all of it.

[strange owl]

I saw there was talk about selling tiktok to a certain person to avoid the ban

[hexed sphinx]

I think meta has announces over 6 time stopping to shut down europe

[marsh cargo]

Please do it \o/

[hexed sphinx]

everytime is disappointing they dont

[marsh cargo]

uh oh

[strange owl]

I don't use tiktok so I don't really care if he runs it into the ground as well tbh

[obsidian frost]

tiktok says its not true

[strange owl]

ah, that's something at least

[marsh cargo]

I tried to use it once. I instantly understood how my grandma felt the first time I showed her Facebook.

[strange owl]

yeah, I felt the same way with vine

[river pivot]

That's why I'm hoping with all the attack points happening they don't begin to feel overwhelmed cause they already do so much good work and seeing this much vitriol in a short time is hard on even the strongest people

[marsh cargo]

I could not understand at all how it worked. The gesture-based controls flew in the face of everything I'd learned about interface design

Just horrible to use

[strange owl]

didn't even try tiktok

[marsh cargo]

I understand it's just because I'm old

[hexed sphinx]

I reported this advertisement for meta since it was like clear scam :D The moderation team just answered me back didn't violate anything. I remember exactly when I whined about this for Facebook support they gave me answer "we go through every advertisement application and none of like those ever get approved" yeah right I see ton of them in day

[strange owl]

shorter attention spans and whatnot

[marsh cargo]

I liked Vine content, never used the app

With Vine you had like 8 seconds to make your point or make a joke

TikToks are too long

Reminds me when Vine creators moved to YouTube/Instagram and immediately killed the joke by dragging it out too long

[hexed sphinx]

As far I know myspace was great :D

Sammy was my hero

[marsh cargo]

We had Bebo and we LIKED it, damnit

I just have a blog and a feedreader these days

Much nicer

[strange owl]

Yeah I did see some second hand vine content like I do now with tiktok and while I get the appeal short term, I don't see the mass appeal for more like it.
I see one or two good ones and I'm good. I don't need 15 more like it.

[hexed sphinx]

Especially those part 1-8 how to dye your hair in cooking oil :D

end of result is disaster

like

why

[marsh cargo]

Yeah pretty much

[strange owl]

I could never stand looking at that kind of content for a long period of time. My brain would be mush.

[hexed sphinx]

Same

I usuallyy skip to part 8 then ask why :D

https://tenor.com/view/terry-b99-gif-26454374

^pretty much me on end of video

[marsh cargo]

I once got stuck scrolling through YT shorts for about 10 minutes and just thought "never again"

Then proceeded to watch a 45 minute video on Java string type updates

[hexed sphinx]

I started to do that with youtube videos like 15 minute of crap, the stuff you need was 5 minute of middle of then rest 15 minutes of crap again

Back in the day when I used xpslit I had problem the video language was in different language than title saying English. :D

that was the only video about it

[marsh cargo]

I have to go and take this very smelly dog out for a while brb

[hexed sphinx]

have fun my dude!

[jovial acorn]

holy hell this chat

[half hatch]

i got banned for asking. if wow still hold up to today?. can someone help me out

[frosty mural]

there are many baiters in chat today

people just cant chill and understand game drama is in game and there is no reason for some parasocial chatter to bring it everywhere else

[jovial acorn]

yeah mods are just instabanning people everywhere some innocent like you get caught

[half hatch]

im a pirate sub

[frosty mural]

oh I aint banned 😄

oh nvm

[jolly sky]

If true, you might have got caught up in the cross fire, a lot of AOE damage in chat at the moment. Wait for the Unban request and reaponse, you should be good

[jovial acorn]

also btw it's all on yamato's fault btw

[half hatch]

ok thanks

[jovial acorn]

also not full mana was a issue as well

[jolly sky]

You should link your sub to Twitch if so!

[hexed sphinx]

^

[jovial acorn]

thor tried to help with blizzard but since moobs just move there's nothing else he could do

[half hatch]

how do i do that?

[jovial acorn]

also the people saying use nova just lol

can't they understand that the boss's is immune to hard cc?

[frosty mural]

open discord settings (profile) and press on connections

you should see there a way to connect to twitch

[marsh cargo]

I'm back

[half hatch]

thanks. i got it linked

[hexed sphinx]

welcome back

[marsh cargo]

The dog continues to smell

[low agate]

What breed is it?

[strange owl]

for some it's a state of being

[marsh cargo]

He's a Yorkshire Terrier

I'd post a picture but he's not my dog. I'm just looking after him

[low agate]

ah yeah, dog sitting is always fun lol.

[marsh cargo]

He's old and has rotten teeth so he really smells. Apparently it's an issue with YTs

But he is a good natured thing

[low agate]

We just got a puppy German Shepherd and wish someone would have warned us. They are super hyper and chew everything they find

[marsh cargo]

Oh yeah they're little terrors

My parents have a border collie/shar pei cross. Unfortunately he got the brains of the shar pei.

[low agate]

lol that happens

[torn swift]

People in twitch are now sliding into my DMS insulting me

I have now thanked them for making it easier to report

[rotund trout]

what happened?

if people from our community are insulting others, let us know

[agile zodiac]

Just out of curiosity: if I spot a bug with Thor's UI, how should I let you guys know? @rotund trout

[torn swift]

nah its chat hoppers

i pointed out some hate several got butthurt and hurled DMS to me on twitch

so i just reported em, I am just amused because when i see an account from 2015 it amuses me to know that some people haven't grown up

[rotund trout]

ticket

[kindred charm]

oop got timed out for 2 weeks on stream for typing "RUUN b RUUN" as a joke for the botting issue he talked about, meant as a joke from the scary movie scene XD

[formal kestrel]

bad timing for doing it

[tranquil jewel]

Oooh new game time

[jolly sky]

It's best not to hop into the latest trains, even if your joke comes from different place.

[kindred charm]

Iknow XD but its fine! rarely type more a listener when gaming

[river pivot]

Quick someone wake up Ludwig so he can change the title again

[kindred charm]

Oh yeah I barely heard about the issues he got into, all iknow about is the dungeon drama thing that happend saw it on tt, but not the botting issue

[jolly sky]

It doesn't matter if it holds up or not if you like it. You can try it for 20 levels for free.

[little seal]

[brave seal]

What was even the drama chat?

I only came back to chat being in uproar and blacked out screen

[kindred charm]

wow thing was he did a dung they pulled too much and he ran. the botting thing no idea

[little seal]

Dungeon went bad, resulted in death, they made the call to run and didn't run.
Thor could've played differently but everyone would've lived if the shots called were appropriate.

It's such a non-drama, if it was anyone else.

[brave seal]

Ah

[little seal]

Fairly sure the feral druid dps pulled the additional pack from the footage

[kindred charm]

Ohh yeah thats how it was, I saw the tiktok in different views some ppl got super salty about it

[copper geode]

seems like it'd be best to contact a mod about that

[still quiver]

Thor has become Frog

[kindred charm]

No worries! Its fine XD I just listen more than chatting there

[sacred junco]

Unban request it if you haven't

[undone lance]

Yeah pop in an unban request and it'll be dealt with in turn. Mods are very busy. Much love to all.

[river pivot]

When you get two Peepos you become a frog is what I choose to take away from Frog Thor

[kindred charm]

yeah thats why I dont wanna do it, they got such already XD And its just a mute so im fine really :D Just didnt prepare for it XD

[ember thistle]

did anyone see hurbert reaction to the drama?

[little seal]

who's herbert

[ember thistle]

in wwo

wow

[sacred junco]

hubert

[rain mist]

KristoferYee's character

[little seal]

That didn't provide any clarity

[sacred junco]

yea they probably meant hubert

which we know who he is

[dire hedge]

TL;DR 2 packs were pulled, then boss walked in. Call was made to run. Caller reneged and got mad Thor followed the order (was out of mana by then). Group hesitated and druid pulled 3rd pack, hesitation to run got 2 killed. Caller trying to pin blame on Thor when it was primarily their fault.

[still quiver]

This reminds me a lot of Thank Goodness You're Here.

[brave seal]

Lmao

[sacred junco]

LMAO what is this guitar
banger, this is me when I guitar

[dire hedge]

The mental gymnastics quadrupling down on the incorrect stance and refusing to face reality is causing all this drama and it's really sad

[still quiver]

Game looks really charming. Excited to watch the demo.

[dire hedge]

Watching Asmongold break it down was just

[low agate]

As long as youre on a beach I think thats okay lol

[half hatch]

you can play wow for free up to lvl 20?

[queen gazelle]

ALL HAIL THE THROG

[little seal]

Yeah WoW is free to lvl 20

[serene spruce]

Mistakes were made. Thor lived.

Thats the drama.

[ember thistle]

has the drama died down?

[dire hedge]

Did you know?
FFXIV is free up to level 70 with no restrictions on playtime!

[serene spruce]

Kal, you stop that.

[dire hedge]

I did the short version haha

[ember thistle]

what is max level in ffxiv

[little seal]

But FFXIV is not WoW

[dire hedge]

100 with Dawntrail

[jolly sky]

Yep, on Retail anyway

[dire hedge]

You are correct, it is not

[serene spruce]

I uncare.

[sacred junco]

it was down to half today I think?
dunno if it's gonna died tomorrow according to the 72hrs lifespan theory but I'd rather let it die

[tribal vale]

SWTOR it's lvl60

[little seal]

For me, I just don't like Final Fantasy as an IP, it just doesn't vibe with me even from a young age.

[low agate]

Agreed.

[dire hedge]

?

Enjoy games, wish for them all to win so the ones we like have competition to get better

[half hatch]

is retail the on going game? and classic is like OldSchoolRunescape?

[dire hedge]

Tribalism is cringe

[little seal]

Exactly Uncle Iroh

[serene spruce]

It's a slang term I made.

It means "I no longer care about this"

[little seal]

there is no war in ba sing se ~

[dire hedge]

Very much so yeah, but I don't think there's unique development branching it away

[jolly sky]

I think that's probably a good way of looking at it

[half hatch]

ok thank you. i spend my life as a kid on OSRS and never got to play wow. but wanted to try it out now that im old

[still quiver]

Okay this game is great

[serene spruce]

I spent most of my youth not playing OSRS, because it was just called Runescape back then. Later on it became known as 'Runescape Classic", whereas Runescape 2 would become 'OSRS'.

[dire hedge]

07Scape

[river pivot]

The only thing I did for my summer break between 6th and 7th grade was cut trees and light lines camp fires in the original runescape on my toaster family PC

[summer night]

my question is what was the other name ludwig didnt like because i dont have a clue what it could be

[still quiver]

Oh my god the battle theme is the sixpack theme

I love this.

[deep hatch]

This is the most adorable thing ever

[silver trellis]

Bonnie Bear game is so adorable I love it

p p pp p pprobaboly

[strange owl]

I hope they leave the outtakes thing in the final game.

[formal kestrel]

think they are and he said its something they like doing

[still quiver]

Holy crap the shark VO hahahaha

[elder maple]

I am late to the news. I saw the clips. But I can’t believe people are so toxic and pathetic about a 20+ year old game. Everyone could have done something but the players in his group were absolute dog except the healer.

[still quiver]

Baby gonna be op

[strange owl]

[still quiver]

hahahahaha the timing

[chilly pecan]

Gogo gaga... F#$@!!!

The Microphones were an American indie folk, indie rock, and experimental project from Olympia, Washington.

[still dew]

Has chat calmed down from this morning?? Beginning of the stream was still full of toxic people mad about WoW

[formal kestrel]

less so than earlier i feel but still a good number of people

[exotic forge]

Hopefully they're getting permabanned

[formal kestrel]

yeah they are

[exotic forge]

Discord's been pretty tame

[still dew]

Just really disheartening to see the shittiest side of the Internet on full display in a place that is usually such good vibes

[tidal bramble]

It's better, but they dregs are still around. The mods are doing a fantastic job,

[hexed badge]

dude just wants to help animals and inspire people to make games. he doesn't deserve this crap. it's insane that this is where we are as a culture

every single one of these assholes, if they had come to Thor and asked for help or advice he would have happily directed them to the appropriate resources to start their journey for their art or their career.

instead they're choosing this

[rain mist]

I saw someone claiming "it's all in good fun" about the hate. (they were promptly, rightfully banned after)

Sure it is, bud. I guess that's what you've gotta tell yourself to feel better about taking in-game drama as an excuse to be a toxic POS.

[hexed badge]

how is hate raiding and swatting "all in good fun". these people are sick

[oblique siren]

I've just checked and that hand puppet guy is a mix of Mr punch and an easter island head

from what i can see anyway

[sleek violet]

Is there a place in discord for unban requests? I can't seem to find it 😭

[low agate]

Did you put one in on Twitch already?

[oblique siren]

#mod-ticket

[sleek violet]

I don't see a place on there either, I'll look around

[oblique siren]

if you go into chat there should be a place on chat to request an unban iirc

[sleek violet]

It might be a mobile issue. Yay twitch

[oblique siren]

yeah, ive just looked at the tiwtch support page and it says to go to the chat on the channel your banned in

if it isnt showing on there on mobile the using a #mod-ticket would be the next best bet

[strange owl]

crap, wrong link

anyway they said a mod ticket will not help

[sleek violet]

I just went to twitch through browser and found it there, thanks.

[strange owl]

That game was delightful, great vibes and good devs.

[sleek violet]

At least maybe Thor will get a kick out of me being banned for riffing on his deep ananas v pineapple lore

[waxen junco]

i got banned for just saying hi in chat

amazing

[strange owl]

Just make an unban request if that's the case, the chat is moving quickly and the mods are just humans.

[waxen junco]

...?

implying...

[low agate]

Nothing to imply, its an observation

[waxen junco]

bro the veiled threats are not cool

[low agate]

threats?

[waxen junco]

mhm

[gaunt lodge]

not following any of this stuff atm, gonna need a blacklist of words to avoid before i type in chat again 😅

[coarse flame]

any words using characters between a-z are usually a good bet

[strange owl]

just being a sane human being is generally ok

[coarse flame]

Just avoid those and you’ll be good :)

[strong wasp]

Yeah, trying to figure out what was going on Asmongold's vid is what I found.

[coarse flame]

Seconding this on a serious note though. Just be chill!

[wind pivot]

i joined the stream late today and there is some sort of drama with other only fangs members? are they still upset ab out thjat dungeon from like 2 days ago?...

[strong wasp]

DireMaul is eefing deadly...

[dire hedge]

If anyone was going to farm the drama it would be him lmao

[dire hedge]

It's "intellectually dishonest"
It's a moment where they know what they really mean but are being purposefully obtuse about it

Y'all hang in there, Thor is an adult and will be ok.

[strong wasp]

2 died in DM. Think earlier today. People are going crazy with hate.

[hexed badge]

It was the day before yesterday

it wasn't earlier today

although from the amount of hate in chat you'd think it was

[serene valley]

what the hell was that

just on stream

that's not "in good fun"

[summer night]

that was nuts

[wind pivot]

so this is 2 more that died in his group and people are pointing the finger at him again because of the one 2 days ago?..... theres nothing to be upset about... just roll again, if its effecting these streamers and these people so much they legit need to reevaluate their priorites in life

[woeful geyser]

people have far too much free time, seems like

[strange owl]

it's not even the people that died causing issues

[buoyant arrow]

Welcome to when other communities raised on vitriol flow over into other streams.

It'll pass, no need to care much about them.

[dire hedge]

It's manufactured hate by people who are recreationally angry. There's no substance here

[buoyant arrow]

From our position that is, as viewers.

[woeful geyser]

i love the term recreationally angry, i'm stealing that

[dire hedge]

Focus on the good things as much as you can

[dire hedge]

Please do

The description fits twitter users

[woeful geyser]

the description fits <insert social media platform name here> users

[dire hedge]

[wind turtle]

So two more died with him today?I haven't been able to watch stream since I'm working

[buoyant arrow]

No. People still mad about shit days ago

[wind turtle]

Thank you for adding clarity to the situation for me

[wary saffron]

yeh people still haven't gotten over it

[waxen junco]

oh ok thought more people died

[buoyant arrow]

Sure. It's real easy to get the wrong idea when statement keep getting more vague with each passing day

In summary, nothing of real consequence happened, and now mostly the psychos remain and Thor's dealing with them accordingly.

Also, that Frog game earlier was real heckin cute, and I'm gonna wishlist it right now

Genuinely excited to see where that goes. It also is a really good sign that it's so different from Rivals, because that shows that offbrand is aiming to publish in a wide range. I like it

[strange owl]

It reminds me of Night in the woods

but more upbeat

[buoyant arrow]

Oh yeah! It has a similar vibe with a more whimsical twist.

[low agate]

Oh i didnt think about Night in the woods, I immediately thought Tailside. Just a chill back game.

[buoyant arrow]

Tailside is also looking good. We need more of these small whimsical games.

[still dew]

no, nobody else died, just people still mad about the 2 that died 2 days ago

[ionic bronze]

I think this is a moment to disable seeing banned messages....

[waxen junco]

you can see them cause of betterttv

default can't see them

[buoyant arrow]

Alot of people use it though. Always found it weird that was a default setting.

A default setting of BTTV, to be clear

[ionic bronze]

yeah.. removing better TV for now

[waxen junco]

its a setting u can change it

also don't you have to click the message to reveal the banned msg

[ionic bronze]

i never had to click message to see it

I just see red thing around it

[waxen junco]

oh weird

[ionic bronze]

with text

[waxen junco]

mines always been click to reveal

[buoyant arrow]

Default is to show the message. You can set it different modes, or turn off the feature entirely

[topaz geyser]

I am in fact playing get over it by the eagles like chat is recommending and this makes the reporting 10x more comedic

[ionic bronze]

way better 😄

[rain mist]

I absolutely misread that and thought you were saying you were playing "Getting Over It" by Bennett Foddy (spelling might be wrong).

I was very confused and concerned how that might've been making the reports more comedic. lol

[topaz geyser]

lmaoooo

[buoyant arrow]

Same man

[rain mist]

glad I'm not the only one, lol

[wind turtle]

Third or fourthed

[buoyant arrow]

Literal "they had us in the first half" moment

[covert monolith]

well, reading that just reminded me of this song, so if you listen, enjoy! https://youtu.be/KeTJWxB2eF4?si=7D_EwPY8Na7Yi8Xj

[rain mist]

On the note of Getting Over It. Have y'all heard of or seen "Clamb" ?

[topaz geyser]

wild

[wind pivot]

disgusting

[umbral nest]

Him constantly talking about it isn’t helping

[hexed badge]

what do you expect him to do? Chat is constantly flooded with it and newcomers have no idea what is going on

[wind hare]

no its not. This whole situation is not a good one.

[surreal fossil]

ppl just love seeing a reaction. like im sure they just feed off seeing their own message get reported

[waxen junco]

isn't it like in the first 10 rules of the internet to NOT FEED THE TROLLS

any attn at all is counterproductive

[oak topaz]

Someone mentioned Redwall in chat, loved those books, still have them from my highschool years.

[covert monolith]

even tho Ive never read it myself, Ive a softspot for redwall bc I used to shelve it during my bookstore days lol

[wispy swan]

I still remember the Redwall Audiobooks on cassette tapes that I would get from the library. I used to read along while listening.

[low agate]

Hard to believe but our libraries still have cassette tapes available.

[wispy swan]

That's amazing, my library did away with the tapes. But I think they did upgrade to CDs.

[zealous bridge]

Genuine question, is chat being a bit nicer today? I haven't been able to tune in.

[wispy swan]

Its better but still bad.

[zealous bridge]

Gotcha

[wispy swan]

Thor implemented automation to help the mods. Theres a whole slew of messages that chat doesnt see because they are caught before the rest of us can see.

[misty turret]

why eveyrone hate thor? hwat happen:(

[hexed badge]

it comes in spurts as different HC content creators say shit on their streams, or review the clips, or if he groups with one

[buoyant arrow]

On the youtube side, it's pretty chill, with the occasional ineffectual attempt to insult.

[zealous bridge]

People got too upset at a wow death. That's about it.

[misty turret]

wh at thor die?>

[buoyant arrow]

No, there was a bad pull, 2 others characters died, people got real mad, a few people are still real mad, and we all basically can't wait for this is peter out cause it's nonsense and tiring.

[misty turret]

why who died

[buoyant arrow]

I'm really sorry, you're gonna have to ask someone else, I care just enough to clarify confusion but not to retell thw hole thing

[misty turret]

ok

[zealous bridge]

Mods already said yesterday to move on as it adds to their workload but I just wanted to ask the general vibe today.

[misty turret]

im new thor discord 😄 want to klnow what happened

didnt see stream. just got on

[versed harness]

You can youtube it all tbh

[buoyant arrow]

In general, it's really not worth getting into. It'll go away on it's own in few days.

[hollow zealot]

About WoW or Asmon?

This will give context

Pirate Software (@PirateSoftware) on X

To those trying to character assassinate me online for a bad pull in Diremaul WoW Hardcore. This is Hardcore WoW and a lot is on the line when you step foot into a dungeon. Here is a light breakdown of the last 24 hours.

Our party went the wrong way and overpulled multiple packs

Twitter · Jan 13, 2025, 10:09 PM

[zealous bridge]

Move on from both

[misty turret]

someone have video of death? didnt see

[zealous bridge]

Search it on YouTube.

[versed harness]

Just search it up on youtube, its not difficult to find

[misty turret]

no

[wispy swan]

Piratesoftware

[hollow zealot]

Idk man, I don't particularly care about the WoW thing but the actual criticism about Asmon seems fair

[misty turret]

what asmon happened

[strange flume]

PSA to piratesoftware, at this point LSF is crashing out (cringe word they use) to the extreme.

I suggest Thor lean into the menes at this point, they will self immolate crying about him everyday an it will be glorious

[misty turret]

ok

plainyg palworld:)

[buoyant arrow]

I've been replaying Palword myself. Crude Oil production is so painfully slow

[misty turret]

awesome. i love pals

palsworld:)

[floral scroll]

i sadly agree. if someone is deprived enough of life to where this affects them that deeply, then all they have to do is waste time anyway

[misty turret]

ok

[wispy swan]

How you doing Synth you off work yet?

[floral scroll]

well, my shift at work changed a week ago. i work 4 10's, but i'm off tuesdays now haha

[misty turret]

thore palworld

[floral scroll]

how's your day going?

[misty turret]

wrong chat sorry 🙂

[floral scroll]

you have strength i wouldn't know how to call upon

[wispy swan]

Managed to get some sleep and now catching the tail end of the stream.

[misty turret]

react

[floral scroll]

lol same, my cats wanted me to go to bed last night so i had to. gonna learn react today so i can be a more marketable programmer

be safe at least, you're more important than your job

well, i like to write code in c, asm and c# but i dont have a degree or a job. that's why im learning react

[wispy swan]

Good ole cat aggro. Good luck with React!

[pine isle]

I don't see the issue as long as Asmon isn't talking politics with Thor, tbh

[floral scroll]

thank you 🙂 lol yes they are wild bulls at times

i don't apply with my discord lol

[wispy swan]

LUL

Whatdoyou mean pothead is fine in the programming world hahaha

[floral scroll]

i didn't blow up, we're all okay here 🙂

[buoyant arrow]

Bait used to be good.

[misty turret]

dont smoke weed

!:)

[hollow zealot]

I think it's a slippery slope nonetheless?

[strange flume]

If asmon isn't catering to his right wing chuds in politics or crying about how girls look In games, his takes are actually fine listening to

[misty turret]

no i didnt

[floral scroll]

lol proof?

[misty turret]

of waht

[wispy swan]

Oh i see.

[misty turret]

hi

oh

did delete messages

[strange flume]

Hug it out guys

[wispy swan]

Felt like a troll.

[buoyant arrow]

Obvious Bait is obvious

Anyway!

[misty turret]

where doing D:

[wispy swan]

Talk about your comment about bait being obvious went over my head. Then it clicked.

[misty turret]

what D:

[buoyant arrow]

It's all good. 👍

[wispy swan]

Hope everyone's day/afternon/night is going well

[misty turret]

what is happening D :

[buoyant arrow]

I'm about to make about a kilogram of chicken nuggets, cause I've been sick since last friday, and deserve a treat.

[wispy swan]

ooo that's a lot of nuggies. Do you dip with a sauce?

[floral scroll]

that sounds amazing. you should fill a ball pit with chicken nuggets and dive into it

[buoyant arrow]

I make my own cheesy sauce. Use a bit of broth as base and add some cream cheese and some ... also cream cheese... It's hard to explain, all my ingeredient are in german and I dunno the english equivalent

But yeah, 2 types of soft easily meltable cheese boiled in a beef broth on low heat for 10-20 minutes. Great sauce for most meats.

[shy compass]

Summit of all people, had a "normal" take on the whole thing

[buoyant arrow]

I got a big bowl for all those nuggies

[floral scroll]

not as fun as ball pit, but acceptable i suppose lol

sounds delicious

[wispy swan]

That sounds delicious.

[buoyant arrow]

It is. I gotta get to it though, need to time the sauce with the nuggets getting ready. So laters, and have a great night/day!

[wispy swan]

Take care o7

[floral scroll]

o7

[tawny plaza]

trying to donate to mods...

[wispy swan]

Yeah it took me a few refreshes

that was the other day on Sunday.

[thick ledge]

yeah, the dono page is having big issues, we arnt sure why

[rain mist]

Possibly GDoS ? lol

[wind hare]

Maybe its a larger issue, even Reddit is having issues loading. lol

[light terrace]

Welp shit. Forgot that there's zero tolerance for miscommunication in twitch chats. Gotta cut back on the sarcasm...

[wind hare]

Ya I am a super sarcastic person, I've had to watch myself

[light terrace]

Has someone made a best practices guide for how not to get deleted on twitch?

[wispy swan]

Haha seriously?

[light terrace]

I dunno, sure?

Not sarcasm this time.

[wind hare]

Just try not typing anything that could be taken offensively

[wispy swan]

Man Zultralord has built my tolerance up for bait for sure.

[light terrace]

Yeah, not possible man

[serene spruce]

Zultralord is a Master Baiter.

[wind hare]

Then you are fated to be banned, I don't know what else to say

[wispy swan]

He got me with GPU man. Thor had to step in to stop me on Stream LUL

[serene spruce]

What?

[jolly sky]

Sarcasm just doesn't read well in text

[wind hare]

Yes it does! /s

[rain mist]

For sarcasm? Maybe adding /s at the end? Make it more obvious with emphasized words like adding an asterisk before / after certain words?

In the meantime, submit your appeal on twitch and hopefully learn from it.

[light terrace]

So chatter pointed out that the BRS portal was slightly offset and I replied "you've ruined all of wow." and I was atomized on the spot. Justifiably so, but damn. I what I am.

[wispy swan]

So Zultralord in twitch Chat asked "What's a good GPU for me?" Me being trying to be helpful started by asking "What are you're specs?" Then next thing I know Thor says my name and gave me Zultralord Lore.

[wind hare]

Thats because you didn't link to who you were talking about, they thought it was at Thor

[jolly sky]

Well put that into context for the Un-ban request, and you should be good to go.

[novel ferry]

i love the stream but i cant get the songs out of my head

no hate

[light terrace]

I wouldn't even say that much, it was less than 5 second reaction time. I got duck hunted.

[rain mist]

Add more context in your chat, next time. "I can't unsee the portal now. You've ruined all of wow for me"

[serene spruce]

Yup, sounds like zultralord. He'd probably riddle off some specs from 1998.

[light terrace]

Well yeah, but... it's not @

I try not to trigger my own panic attacks, should probably just not watch streams :(

[wind hare]

What does watching streams have to do with how you respond in chat?

Just don't watch chat

or reply

[light terrace]

Well, that is what the ban does.

[wind hare]

Then its a win for you

[light terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/mike-tyson-nod-reverse-well-gif-24391188

[wispy swan]

Context is key in the comments. Otherwise you need put in a Mod Ticket. Especially during high traffic. People get shot on accident all the time.

[serene spruce]

To be fair, Thor literally pays like...8 people to do nothing but moderate on his stream. They're just doing their job.

[light terrace]

I already said as much.

[serene spruce]

Sorry, I'm on mobile, and it's really hard for me to read on this tiny screen.

[light terrace]

And after a $500 dono to mods.... they woke up!

[wispy swan]

Sorry?

[light terrace]

oh... see?

[dim ibex]

There's a massive hate raid going on right now so posting anything remotely spicy is like playing frogger. Best to just turn off chat for the next couple days

[light terrace]

Thats what I'm seeing.

I guess I go back to editing.

[dim ibex]

Don't worry about the ban, there's a lot of misfires happening right now. Just say what you said here in the unban request

[light terrace]

Oh, yeah no definitely. I did that.

[novel ferry]

guys we is he not using his 1hp macro anymore? did he just forget

[serene spruce]

Seven, are you okay, friend? It's kind of a war zone on Twitch right now. Thor has all hands on deck, just trying to keep the chat even remotely calm. Sadly, some friendly fire is happening, but that happens when people are put under extreme stress.

It's okay, you'll be unbanned, if you explain what happened in the unban request.

It's just a minor inconvenience.

[light terrace]

I'm probably not okay?

[novel ferry]

lmao

[light terrace]

But I'm not going to go into detail.

[novel ferry]

do you need someone to talk to?

[light terrace]

Who doesnt?

[novel ferry]

im pretty chill

[wind hare]

People who are already talking to someone lol

[serene spruce]

I understand. I hope you feel better soon, friend. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here. I've been told I'm a good listener.

[wind hare]

Unless they want MORE people to talk to

[serene spruce]

Lord knows we all need to talk to other people about our problems. Fresh eyes on a problem can sometimes see what another missed.

[light terrace]

"The internet ruins everything I like" -Alpharad

[serene spruce]

Yeah, poor Alpharad. I've seen that short of his.

[umbral nest]

💀

You don’t need to know about the drama if you can’t properly search it up

[light terrace]

So I'm told, people with my background go into Therapeutics or Therapeutically tangent fields. You know, because they can RELATE.

[wispy swan]

Wow what thing to say someone if I'm understanding that right.

[serene spruce]

Empathy is a powerful thing indeed. The ability to understand what causes pain and suffering in others, and do your best to alleviate as much pain as possible is an extremely noble goal.

[covert monolith]

its also a good drive for art and other creative hobbies, if you need something to channel it into

[light terrace]

Oh, what like Editing?

[wispy swan]

Coding even.

[serene spruce]

Smells like my oven has finished prehating. Yes, I can tell by smell. Hot metal has a scent.

[light terrace]

Have any of you played the old Minecraft flavoured DayZ servers back in the day?

[serene spruce]

I played Unturned, does that count?

[covert monolith]

I havent thought of unturned in forever, woah

[light terrace]

Well you can count in imgaginary numbers, so sure.

[serene spruce]

That's basically DayZ for poor people.

I actually played Unturned before it was released fully, and got an Alpha tester shirt skin for it.

[light terrace]

Well. Then I play a pretty Niche game on the Shotbow Network called Annihilation, class based minecraft pvp. Just started making some clip compilations about it.

[serene spruce]

Let me tell you, I had an absolute blast playing it.

One of my friends made a server, and set the zombie spawn rate to 'Yes'.

Every time a zombie could spawn, it did.

[light terrace]

Sounds like the old Bukkit Apocalypse mod.

They could break through blocks.

[serene spruce]

It was a true PVE server. There was no option to PVP. You had to stick together, or you'd all die.

[rain mist]

I wonder how much money Thor could've gotten from all the people jumping on the hate bandwagon if he had pre-roll ads and something like follower-only chat with a 1min timer before you could chat after becoming a follower.

I'm sure it's a pain to switch back and forth, and I'm sure it would probably just fan the flames, but at least it results in income. lol...

[serene spruce]

Eh, I don't think it matters.

[woeful geyser]

pre-rolls would probably hurt more overall

[light terrace]

Its pretty clear that Thor will forgo money for principles.

[wispy swan]

Then people would accuse him of wanting to farm the drama. People can be: unreasonable which is kinder word than what I had in mind.

[serene spruce]

Yeah. Thor's attitude towards advertisements is 'Screw your money, I have standards and ethics.'

[rain mist]

I know. More just venting my own annoyance at the whole thing and trying to make a joke out of it

[light terrace]

People are F.I.N.E.

[wispy swan]

Have you been making compliations or just starting?

[light terrace]

I've got two.

[serene spruce]

I've got a similar outlook towards money. To hell with your money, I've got morals.

[light terrace]

been looking at trying my hand at camera pathing with the replay mod.

[wispy swan]

Frustrated, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional, yeah a lot fo them are for sure.

[light terrace]

Actually the first one was Fubar.

cough

[misty turret]

no tag me

[light terrace]

I might need to rebrand or google won't find me.

[wispy swan]

Good luck! Hope you get camera pathing down. I've seen amazing shots.

The first ones usually are but keep at it. I've gotten my ass chewed out for destroying wires when i first starting soldering. Everything takes practice and well don't stop learning and trying.

[light terrace]

Suprisingly enough I'm not cringing at them yet. Give it a few years.

[covert monolith]

careful, Id put your channel in #advertising just so you dont get your hand slapped by a mod

but yeah, I try not to cringe at art; If something makes me go "ew" I try to change it to "I could do this better if I was to do it Now/Ive improved" :]

[light terrace]

rules rules rules

[covert monolith]

gotta have em in a server w as many people as this one does!

[wispy swan]

we're at 250k? right? Community size

[light terrace]

does anyone know what "blur" Thor uses?

[covert monolith]

I actually dont know, its been a while since Ive checked

[covert monolith]

you mean for his chat in game?

[light terrace]

yeah, looks like it takes one color per block

[covert monolith]

iirc he said he did it with obs!

pretty sure its a setting, tho I could be wrong. I dont use it myself

[wispy swan]

You got amazing awareness when you were eating the watermelon and then heard the other guy who ran away from you in the tunnel. Looks pretty good. And yeah you'll cringe in a few years. But if you cringe that means you might have improved.

[tender bear]

Feels bad this whole drama happened. I absolutely symphatyze with thor, despite what is being sad around.

[wary saffron]

!blur

[dapper raven]

Thor uses the Composite Blur OBS plugin to blur the in-game chat: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/composite-blur.1780/

[wary saffron]

@light terrace ^^

[tender bear]

I guess it's nice that charity donation went super high

[covert monolith]

ayy I couldnt remember if we had a command for it or not

[light terrace]

I know the guy I was fighting in that clip. I regret teaching him how to instant teleport away from people.

[lime vine]

he did it beacuse someone just could type a slur or just something really bad out and get him banned or something like that.

[spice niche]

Yeaa, happened to me too. Not too worried, just submitted the unban appeal and jsut waiting. Only sad can't see the 7's in chat now

[rain mist]

I peaked at the Pinned comments to see if there were any commands listed. Did not disappoint xD

[covert monolith]

oh smart! lol I was trying to skim through search results in this discord

[light terrace]

Awesome, I'll start using this.

[rain mist]

for the record, the commands are not listed with the Pins. But the Pins still did not disappoint lol

[light terrace]

I know he mentioned blur wasn't destructive, and I agree. A lot of them can be reverse engineered.

Showed the taking damage breaking invisibility part to my sister and she inhaled her mocha out her nose. I guess I succeeded.

[zealous frost]

misread that

[zealous frost]

i know he takes a stand on sponsors, but i also think he should take a seat on one and update his chair lol. he already loves his current one and secret labs is a big creator sponsor

(he has a secret lab titan for the last like... 6 years? afaik)

[wispy swan]

Yeah he said about 6 years

[light terrace]

A lot of peoples cognitive dissonance does us good. It's more than just a logical fallacy.

[serene spruce]

His chair works fine. He's got no complaints. Why fix what isn't broken?

[rain mist]

Hasn't he said it's broken?

[zealous frost]

he's mentioned afew times it's wearing out

[umbral pulsar]

he said it was falling apart and he was going to have to replace it

[zealous frost]

He puts more miles on that chair than some cars get

[light terrace]

Technically he won't fix it, he'll replace it.

[wispy swan]

This is true

[umbral pulsar]

and yeah, some things you want to replace before they break

[light terrace]

Wouldn't want that solenoid up your.... yeah anyways.

I've had some deathtrap chairs.

[wispy swan]

Car battery will save a great deal of heartbreak

[zealous frost]

I love how chat trolled him about the butt impaleing so badly he had to look up if he was safe (he is, they have a special plate for it)

[wispy swan]

oof

[zealous frost]

I got those roller blade wheels to upgrade mine... the caster angle is more agressive and twisted a leg off when i leaned backwards...

[umbral pulsar]

been there 😕

[light terrace]

Revenge of the folding chair

[wispy swan]

Metal or Plastic?

[zealous frost]

Like I said, I think Thor's sponsor standards could really take a seat on Secret Lab 😂

a quality chair is something that a gamer or a programmer really does need to not cripple themselves in the long term

[light terrace]

THEY MAKE PLASTIC FOLDING CHAIRS?!

WHAT GOD ARE THE SACRIFICED SENT?

THE CARNAGE? THE DEPRAVITY?

FORSAKEN!

[wispy swan]

Haha they sure do. Go to the Temples of Walmart and Target and give offerings

[serene spruce]

Plastic chairs are useless to me.

[light terrace]

I hear exercise works.

Not that I've tried it.

[zealous frost]

please don't use such profanity

[serene spruce]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-zone-of-zone-out-cat-cat-zoned-out-zoned-out-cat-gif-4284444198360174529

[light terrace]

Honest to god, last I stuck to exercise was High School.

[river pivot]

Been reporting all the chats that have slipped by for the last few hours I wish them all a very happy ban but I must sleep now.
Appreciate the mods and all the work they have been doing to keep the chat somewhat normal

[wispy swan]

Rest well o7

[forest glacier]

@covert tinsel Chatterino 2, Third party Twitch chat, lets you do chat filters so you can be in sub only mode even if the streamer doesnt want to be 😅 lmk if you want me to send you the filter I use for sub only.

[light terrace]

I think I just came up with the perfect way to use twitch chat.

[hexed badge]

chatterino is p good, i use it. it's like an irc client for twitch chats, which are apparently loosely based on irc to begin with

[light terrace]

Use old english, nobody worthy of being taken seriously would speak in thou and thee without being a harmlessly insane jolly jostler!

worth a shot.

[covert tinsel]

tyty, I use 7tv, so maybe that has something thatll work

[forest glacier]

🤷‍♂️ whatever floats ur boat is good enough, btw Chatterino has 7tv and bttv both

[hexed badge]

yeah i think the chatterino and 7tv dev teams have a lot of overlap actually

[covert tinsel]

😮 omg, it used to be that 7tv was the BETTER bttv

Its a program? I use 7tv mainly because its just an extenstion

[forest glacier]

i hate how many emotes there are that replace normal speech on 7tv, maybe its on both but im seeing it more on 7tv myself. like the "60" emote. you cant use the number 60 without it being an emote that usually isnt related
