People are weird

[earnest cove]

Oh interesting it's an rpg today

[fading cypress]

Y'all didn't know that?

[ionic sleet]

Sequel and S Q L

[wet storm]

That one's fine, even if both are wrong

It's pronounced squeal

[trim anvil]

pronouncing S Q L is fine

[wet storm]

Regex and reggex

[strange ember]

Lovecraft transcribed the pronunciation of Cthulhu as Khlûl′-hloo, and said, "the first syllable pronounced gutturally and very thickly. The 'u' is about like that in 'full', and the first syllable is not unlike 'klul' in sound, hence the 'h' represents the guttural thickness" yielding something akin to /ˈq(χ)lʊlˌɬuː/

[fading cypress]

gippity

[trim anvil]

I say reggex.

[rain sigil]

Oh man, this one gets me and I fully acknowledge how silly it is. I say Sequel, but S Q L just irks me

[strange ember]

Reggae!

[trim anvil]

no.

well.. other languages have rules

[toxic rampart]

Still made up

That's the joke

[harsh viper]

but clear and deterministic

[strange ember]

https://ipa-reader.com/?text=q(χ)lʊlˌɬu
That... is not how anyone I know would pronounce it.
Oh well
(Cthulhu)

[opaque raven]

300 years later here I am calling it ChillChulu

[hazy storm]

I'm borrowing that

[toxic rampart]

-joke

[waxen comet]

i still dont know how to pronounce cthulu

i always pronounce it as kuh thulu

[harsh viper]

interesting

[hazy storm]

Same

[strange ember]

kuh-THOOL-hu

[wet storm]

Love it

[harsh viper]

khlulu just sounds... not very cool

[waxen comet]

i even mispronounce nyarlathotep

[wet storm]

A Brazilian friend if mine called it tchutchucool

[strange ember]

most people drop the last H though

[wet storm]

Brazil mentioned

[waxen comet]

i always say nyarl ot hep

[earnest cove]

Can i use google play points to send superchats?

[strange ember]

Nyar lat ho tep?

[serene valley]

nya

https://tenor.com/view/neko-anime-kawaii-nya-hi-gif-14223397

[hazy storm]

I dub thee Nyar-Nyar

[rain sigil]

I believe it's actually pronounced:

"Cthulu, High Priest of the Great Old Ones, The Great Dreamer, The Sleeper of R'lyeh" THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[opaque raven]

Well, as a side note Tchutchucu in ptbr means "very cute", but kinda in a...slightly sexy way of sorts

[waxen comet]

chu chu koo?

sounds like baby talk

[strange ember]

Shub-Niggurath

Watcher of Realms?

[strange ember]

Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn
(In his house at R’lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming)

[waxen comet]

no

[terse pelican]

Huh, Style kinda made me think of that, But I guess not

[waxen comet]

its from Granblue Fantasy

some of the artists of Final Fantasy Tactics ended up there

[earnest cove]

Interesting game he's playing now. Dungeon crawler

[waxen comet]

you can kinda tell with the old style

the near noseless art of the old final fantasy art

[strange ember]

That just SCREAMS
oh yeah granblue, it's a gacha

[waxen comet]

still like it
one of the only gachas that actually lets you grind

all other gachas usually gate you bec you dont ahve energy

whats interesting is that it almost feels like an MMO

[warm trench]

Thor installing his 38th DLC today right?

[strange ember]

I lack the ability to prevent the Gacha from draining my wallet, so they are banned for me

[strange ember]

aye

[waxen comet]

i have self control to an extent so i usually can resist it

[strange ember]

technically already installed it

[waxen comet]

and i dont have money for gacha anyway lmao

[strange ember]

That is a good defense

[keen python]

To be fair, lovecraft envisioned his languages being spoken in thought so

All pronunciations are correct

[strange ember]

but yeah, I have impulse control issues
I can do the total rejection / cold turkey thing where "Nope, not gonna let this near me" just fine, but like... the perfect example is a bowl of candy. If I keep the bowl on the top shelf, I'll grab a few pieces and eat them and be satisfied. If I put it on a lower shelf where I can see it, I'll eat a handful. If it's next to me I'll eat the whole bowl.

[waxen comet]

im going to start pronouncing cthulu as cuhcuchuchuhuchcc then

[strange ember]

It's Squiddy!

[keen python]

Who’s gonna stop you

Cthulu?

[waxen comet]

yes

[strange ember]

Everyone always forgets the last H

[waxen comet]

youd think a mindflayer would be able to at least stop a person from thinking

[strange ember]

Cth ul hu

Huh

Oh it does have a second H

I always think I forget an apostrophe

[strange ember]

Yeah, the common pronunciation is "Kuh Thoo loo"

which doesn't help

[opaque raven]

If a cult depended on me to summon Cthulhu I would easily end up summoning Chungus by mispronunciation

[earnest cove]

the gifts are twitch or youtube?

[rain sigil]

Twitch

[earnest cove]

i just saw some from youtube nice

man people are really pouring support today

[rain sigil]

As I understand it, Subs = Twitch and Memberships = YT

and yeah, it's pretty wild rn

[soft vector]

Level 23 Hype train currently

[still quiver]

25 now lol

[earnest cove]

despite all the bad press, i see there are folks who still support strong

whoaaa

another 100

[wraith cobalt]

2nd hype train of the stream and dorks that only follow LSF and watch YouTube drama vids are insisting he has to retire XD

[torn panther]

Core community is strong

[patent hazel]

What did I walk into in stream? I popped in to "holy shit.."

[hazy storm]

Actually i think the core community grew a bit

Some of the ppl who came here to debate skg wound up sticking around

[torn panther]

Poetic epic story this has been

[strange ember]

lots of subs and bits being donated into another big hype train

[ocean agate]

omg, i am running stream in bckground, writting story for gamejam so im not paying attention to stream but oh man it hit 25 on a train again....oh man

[real cradle]

It galvanized. It's a common effect of hate trains that fail to cancel a person.

[torn panther]

Glad we have a ray of sunshine blasting through the storm

[strange ember]

Just a few gifted subs

[soft vector]

I am noticing more people who aren't even Pirate Fans are tired of it and have even started calling it bullying

[hazy storm]

About damn time

[torn panther]

If he was actually deplorable like yandre dev it would be a different story but he built up and solid dedicated community

[reef geyser]

Not only that, but the biggest wrench in the narrative, is that a TON of people who followed/still follow him disagree with him on it. I would even go as far as to say over half. But the community actually understands how a difference of opinion doesn't mean someone's automatically a bad person, in either direction.

[ocean agate]

yeah and we stand beside him, we can weather the storm

[patent hazel]

I'm getting tied of all the videos popping up in my YouTube algorithm

[soft vector]

I think everyone is, except for the most unhinged

[strange ember]

Yep

[harsh viper]

yep, right here, disagreeing, yet still supporting thor

[reef geyser]

Same thing happened back in the January stuff. Sure, not as much views as this time, but it was the same tidal wave of everything being slop memes and demonizing. This too shall pass.

[wraith cobalt]

True. Even if I don't agree with all of Thor's takes i don't know how you can hate someone who spends so much time trying to help others in the space. I don't think he can be a bad dude with all he tries to do for the community

[strange ember]

quite so

[hazy storm]

Who will you rather follow? The guy who tells you what to believe or the guy who tells you to think for yourself

[gloomy forge]

https://tenor.com/view/old-man-long-beard-white-gif-21053866

I wonder who that could be

[wind hare]

If you tell YouTube to ignore the recommendation, it takes it out. I did it to two videos and now I don't get any

[strange ember]

I mean... it's an order of magnitude or more difference

[hazy storm]

Hello there!

[reef geyser]

And the amount of his personal wealth he puts into the literal animal rescue he runs, which fills a niche in the space for a specific species that is underserved.

[gloomy forge]

[harsh viper]

the algorithm actually working for once

[torn panther]

Everyone has flaws, we are also capable of growth, especially someone with as many redeeming qualities as Thor. Everything will be okay

[patent hazel]

There was nowhere near the amount of garbage after the onlyfangs crap as there has been now. The onlyfangs garbage was kind of entertaining to watch, as it was mostly wow nerds being unhinged wow nerds

[earnest cove]

???? i think one of the TTS is actually good

[soft vector]

Wait, you mean Thor isn't perfect?

[earnest cove]

but probably the name made it think it was bad

[patent hazel]

I did that, but still get the occasional videos that slip through

[soft vector]

Who knew

[harsh viper]

https://tenor.com/view/pikachu-shocked-face-stunned-pokemon-shocked-not-shocked-omg-gif-24112152

[reef geyser]

There is a lot of amplification this time because people from back then dogpiled back on who had no opinion on the initiative, but just used any drama as another excuse to re-attack. So a lot of overlap, which means they were people who were already toxified against him from back then.

[torn panther]

We can only ask that people try their best and I think Thor is trying his best all the time. That’s enough for me no matter what.

[strange ember]

Effectively pre-WoW it was a dedicated few. Then WoW happened and it grew. Then AW/AoC/etc. happened and kept it alive. Then SKG and it exploded

[patent hazel]

There was a thing with eve?

[strange ember]

prior to jan... so yeah I should pull that

[real cradle]

well yeah, back when the initiative needed signatures it was conflated to the idea of supporting a good cause against a villain. Now that excuse has faded away, the hype from it all is dying, and people are starting to realize the only people left supporting the hate train are incredibly toxic.

[soft vector]

The dumb Part is, it only exploded when it was close to the end. While not talking about it for months...

[wind hare]

All I got from that was Alan Wake/EVE online and was completely comfused

[torn panther]

Yeah it’s been a growing very dedicated group of anti-fans who are fixated on the man.

[strange ember]

animal well

[wind hare]

What on earth went wrong with animal well? Lol

[strange ember]

cheating accusations, because hatemob

[wind hare]

Oh my hod

[reef geyser]

Still, there are only so many hours in the day, and unless those people dedicate the rest of their lifespans to 16 hours per day on social media dragging, then mathematically there will be a downtrend as they start to just... do other things with their time.

[patent hazel]

I think it was people claimed Thor was looking at guides off stream

[soft vector]

He supposedly "cheated"

[wind hare]

People are so lame

[hasty grail]

cheated during the time that animal well was freshly released and no guides existed

[opaque raven]

Can we take a day off this whole thing? Just for the birthday
Tomorrow we can continue

[patent hazel]

you underestimate how garbage social media is

[still quiver]

lol @ level 31

[patent hazel]

NEVAR!

[soft vector]

2 Hype trains so far

[patent hazel]

joking

[jolly sky]

He's falling asleep a little

[strange ember]

Algorithm boosts stuff that people engage with... anger is engagement bait

[reef geyser]

Social media at large is one thing, but individual users is another. The hate machine relies on a constant supply of bodies, because your basic footsoldier of trolling has a short lifespan on any given issue.

[gloomy forge]

he gets eepy

I mean hes also getting very sentimental.

[wind hare]

@jolly sky did he pull another all nighter?

[jolly sky]

I don't think an all nighter, but he was up for a while I believe

[hasty grail]

also a javelin

[soft vector]

Yes

[hasty grail]

the first one is fine, the last 2 are scary

[patent hazel]

true. it will eventually lose traction as the internet hate machine moves on to bigger and dumber things, but there will always be people who view opinions that are different from their own as the worst kind of monster imaginable

[soft vector]

Going to Hit another hype train at this rate

[strange ember]

I'm very worried what will happen if this dies before it goes to EU Parliament... most people aren't part of the SKG discord or anything else, they just heard about it from other coverage... which means if it dies... I see a re-ignition

[patent hazel]

I'm not worried. yes, there will be screaming at the start, but it won't last that long.

[gentle mortar]

he's awake from yesteday 10 am, so yeah

[wind hare]

Damn

[reef geyser]

Yeah, and that's just humans in general unfortunately.

I see this as a sort of market bubble correction. Thor had a meteoric rise that was wildly unprecedented. The fact he was able to maintain that level of following for as long was in and of itself insane. The chaff that has unfollowed over the initiative stuff or the drama slop were always "inflated" portions of the community. You can take his level of following after this whole thing is over, draw a linear upward trend from Nov. 2023 to now and it's STILL a very impressive level of growth.

Think of it like... Thor just had a ton of fake fans during tha time, and this is a liver cleansing the system. A ton of big communities don't get such an opportunity to purge like that.

[strange ember]

Every mini drama has been getting worse since Dire Maul... I really REALLY hope it doesn't blow up, but I can't help but fear it will

[gloomy forge]

I mean I wouldn't get mad, there are so many ways to let parts of the initiative pass, consumer laws are strong and all.

[earnest cove]

the people who complain about the game not finishing after 8 years feels kinda personal for me because I've been writing one story for 10 years and it's still not done

it's published openly per chapter but as a whole it's not done

[strange ember]

Entitlement gonna entitle

Ignore 'em, IMO

[gloomy forge]

Dude I know a guy who is working on his lil project for 21 years now its just a series of fantasy medieval books he makes for himself.

[gentle mortar]

Kentaro Miura wrote a one story for his entire life, never finished it, so like yeah, that's normal

[earnest cove]

he died too soon.... 😭

[gentle mortar]

Yeaaaaa… RIP Miura

[gloomy forge]

like people are allowed to have hobbies and all, I don't even see how that stuff can be an issue.

[wind hare]

In plaid Crowfall $250 as a backer and watched that game fail. I never harassed the devs. It's just crazy people

[reef geyser]

That's the actual silver lining of screaming trolls. They always immediately go to max, so there's no real "higher" level they can go to from there. He's been dragged over every personal attack you can imagine, and still he's here, with consistent viewership in the thousands, and a strong community. They tried to say he lied about his whole life. They tried to say he faked his work history. They even tried to say he SA'd the ferrets. The levels they have already gone to can't really go to any level higher.

And still their attacks are insufficient to take him down. They have no way forward to succeed.

[earnest cove]

sorry to hear the project failed. A lot of people don't undersatnd that any funding has a risk of failure

[jolly sky]

I knew I had to get these the moment I heard he passed away;

(i have #14 as well)

[fallow token]

I'd say there's merit... I mean if you notice, any game Thor has gushed about has failed horribly, and quite fast as well. He pushed New World, he pushed Meet Your Maker, and Ashes of Creation... hyped them up to no bounds. Something tells me he doesn't know what players actually want. Reflects in his own work tbh.

[hasty grail]

AoC was the devs messing up

Meet Your Maker is more of a niche game

[strange ember]

Nah, it can always go longer or get worse. Always.

[hasty grail]

New World..... yea we dont talk about it

[earnest cove]

uh......

All those are the devs not being able to handle the pressure/demand. The games themselves were interesting. How is it his fault? That's not logical

[fierce bison]

that's quite a leap in logic there buddy

[gentle mortar]

Sick! I have 6/32(?) of the original, I have plan to get this collection one day

[strange ember]

That's rather inflammatory

[river cargo]

ashes of creation is quite good though?

[fierce bison]

mental gymnastics, olympics level

[river cargo]

it's quite healthy

[soft vector]

Before the recent insanity Heartbound had extremely high Reviews, so no

[hazy storm]

Ok bro. You're obviously here just to shit on thor and cause drama

[strange ember]

been here since 21 as well... which is sad

[fierce bison]

he's saying like so many wrong things I don't even know where to begin dissecting it, decision fatigue

[umbral gazelle]

Lets not dogpile people

[earnest cove]

Purely emotional argument

[reef geyser]

Longer yes, and the acts behind it sure, like how he was swatted. My point was that the level of seriousness they try to put behind the allegations is already at max. They hit the nitrous to 10/10 off the line. People who hate him already hate him like napalm. They can't make them hate him even more. Their hate economy relies on newcomers constantly, because the ones who had no stake in the issue, and were just tagging on because they love drama and a villain to demonize, are sort of "fairweather haters". They will have another figure to move on to and vomit about. The dedicated anti-Thor crowd cannot maintain the "services" of the troll "mercenaries" that make up 90% of the population forever.

[worthy ivy]

read the title as "beserker" and thought I'd missed out on a hardback Saberhagen anthology

[ocean agate]

2 games i preordered: fallout 76, anthem.....there are more i cant think of

[gentle mortar]

you right

[umbral gazelle]

Instead lets point out Thor keeps saying "i dont know if this game is good for you all i can say is i like it" I have never gotten the impression Thor has pushed a game on me ever

[river cargo]

longer is worse

unfortunately that's why thor should respond to as many as he can

the FAQ suggestion from before is a great idea

[terse pelican]

Yeah, You need to apply your own metrics of enjoyment for any form of entertainment

[ocean agate]

think for yourself dont outsource your critical thinking to anyone ~ Thor

[gloomy forge]

True, but it can be worse, theres many such cases. Thor isn't unusual and actually really mild compared to some of the severe bullying cases. If you're curious, write me a PM because they're horrible occurrences.

As for the ECI, I just wish that people understand that at least 60% of the votes are genuinely concerned citizens. Not every europeans watch dramaslop. Americans boosted the initiative, european news coverage occured, the people from europe decided based on that.

[winter sierra]

Actually what did happen with AoC i wasnt paying attention to streams at that time

[worthy ivy]

????
I've played a bit of AoC and there's definitely promise there - is only in alpha atm
define "failed" (unless AoC shut down and I missed it, have been playing Death Stranding these past couple weeks.... god tier game!)

[gloomy forge]

And I mean that honestly, people who are actually scared that corpa can take over to rule for more anti consumer laws, which is always a major fear in many countries.

[umbral gazelle]

They have no economy lead dev so the economy is in shambles

[gloomy forge]

thats all I wanted to say

[reef geyser]

Worse in one spatial dimension, but I was talking specifically about the other, which is intensity. Intensity and length are two distinct factors. The factor I was talking about them already maxxing was the intensity one.

[soft vector]

I certainly wouldn't call AOC failed

[winter sierra]

Aw :(

[ocean agate]

they changed the crafting recipies to make it take forever to gear anyone and all the crafters noped out the game for now

[winter sierra]

Maybe it can bounce back

[worthy ivy]

am going back for more myself on the next reset

[rain sigil]

genuine question: has there ever been an MMO with a economy that wasn't screwed up by the players?

[terse pelican]

Let's hope they get the concerns sorted

[ocean agate]

failure is when you quit trying

[soft vector]

Yeah, it's natural that people Take a Break from it for a bit seeing as it's in Alpha and doesn't have a Ton of content

[winter sierra]

I mean, thor is allowed to love a game and then not love it when it changes

[hasty grail]

Anthem

[worthy ivy]

I will report back in August

[hazy storm]

As far as "failures" go that isn't unrecoverable. Hell there are many more games that screwed the pooch and bounced back. Helldivers, no man's sky, etc

[terse pelican]

Make it September

[reef geyser]

Not really. Emulating real world economic practice is incredibly complex, and because economics is a field with a huge amount of study, virtually any game-design function you take to implement a version of how an economy works is going to leave some exploitable facet, if not in the mechanics themselves, then in the disparity in knowledge of how markets work between economists and regular players.

[worthy ivy]

EVE's economy is stable enough? but there's tons of market fixing and cartels and that... maybe all the shenanigans balance each other out?

but other than EVE (and Fallen Earth back in the glory days) I can't think of many

[terse pelican]

Market fixing kinda happens in real life too . . .

[reef geyser]

Yeah the most successful tend to be the ones that rely on emergent characteristics, which is how the real world works.

You still get the knowledge-of-principles disparity that allows someone who has economic smarts to outplay regular players who don't.

[hazy storm]

And then you have carefully managed micro economies like Counter Strike where the impact of the economy is limited to a single game and even minor changes can have immediately visible impact

I remember how shocked i was when i learned that after a certain point in the game the pros rarely buy helmets because by then everyone had guns that made that piece of armor useless and so it was a waste of money

[noble dome]

Not greggs but this will do.

[reef geyser]

Are you left handed?

[opaque raven]

FF14 afaik
You ofc have some complaints but VERY far away from it being a problem
There is a housing issue iirc but it's a whole other topic

[earnest spire]

i feel like the stream is just thor vibing and chats trying to bait him

[noble dome]

Sometimes

[earnest spire]

is kinda funny

[wind hare]

Here is something to get angry about, WHY doesn't steam tell you what mods its updating when it downloads updates?!?!. Now THATS something to get angry about.

I have 400 Rimworld mods, which one did you just update?!

[winter sierra]

oh thats the games job

[lapis flame]

why do you let steam manage your mods?

[winter sierra]

Most have it built in

[reef geyser]

I figured since the package is clipped from the bottom, and I only see one finger up top, suggesting that if you're pinching with thumb and forefinger, the forefinger must be behind the thumb, which from this angle would be your right hand, and thus left hand holding the phone.

[wind hare]

Steam workshop has really done a great job in helping the modding community

[winter sierra]

when i open tboi it tells me what mods are updating

[soft vector]

It's quite funny to See people malding and just getting banned with no response at all

[winter sierra]

One guy on twitter was shitting himself in rage and it was pretty funny

Like bro move on how are you that mad

[gentle mortar]

These trolls should play Disco Elysium imho

those who know knows

[noble dome]

You’re right I should’ve loaded it in my ram mount better

[lapis flame]

I dont doubt that. But if you dont like the way steam is managing your mods, there are very few immediately actionable solutions.

[edgy oar]

I love seeing people claiming it's not actually Thor's birthday he's just pretending. Like, what?

[hasty grail]

people be crazy

[lyric venture]

I mean it is Thorsday so not sure how they can dispute that ;p

[hazy storm]

Doing that on someones ACTUAL birthday is psychotic levels of evil.

Imagine going into someone's in person birthday party and yelling that in their face

[lyric venture]

But yeah, people are weird.

[wind hare]

Isn't his birthday every OTHER day then today?

[edgy oar]

psychology students would have a field day studying the trolls from all this.

[ocean agate]

like it even matters if it was his real birthday today. he celebrates it once a year on the same day, how would it matter if it was secretly some other day of the year

[strange ember]

Wanna feel old?

[edgy oar]

No I do not

[fierce bison]

can someone explain me the bread and the goblin and the cobold memes? I'm new to this community

1. We don't feed bread to the mods. 2. Thor calls his community goblins. 3. I think the kobold stuff is new.

[lyric venture]

And I was 18 when that movie came out so yes, I feel old ;p

[strange ember]

The kobolds I don't know.
The goblins are because yeah what Bread Goblin said

[strange ember]

Well you've got almost a decade on me so that's warranted

[fierce bison]

I see, thanks @edgy oar , @strange ember

[strange ember]

I think the bread mods thing came from how Thor actually pays the mods a salary

[fierce bison]

makes sense

[ocean agate]

i think the bread thing for the mods is like giving a gremlin food after midnight.....poor gizmo

[edgy oar]

Also he constantly makes jokes about not feeding the mods after midnight, like from the Gremlins movie

[lyric venture]

Yeah I missed the kobolds part so not sure where that came from

[hazy storm]

I think there's someone who wants to expand the community from only goblins to also include kobolds because it's their favorite fantasy creature

[lapis flame]

its curious that community moderators are rarely paid for their work.

[edgy oar]

Most streamers don't make enough to pay mods. Only the really successful ones that make a lot of money can do it.

[lyric venture]

Yeah I was 2 when Gremlins came out so yeah, my bones ache ;p

[lapis flame]

@opaque raven someone asking about kobolds

[river cargo]

depends on the community

[fierce bison]

it's good that he pays his mods, less inclined to power trip if your livelyhood depends on it

[river cargo]

alot of larger corporate discords have paid community managers

[opaque raven]

I ARRIVED!!!

[fierce bison]

although we look at classic runescape mod fiasco

[edgy oar]

He doesn't just pay his mods, they have full benefits too.

[fierce bison]

good stuff

[worthy ivy]

aha I win! am 5 months younger than gremlins 🙂

[hazy storm]

Hey @opaque raven there are people who want to hear the Word of the Kobold

[lapis flame]

my impression is that moderation is still largely volunteer work even for larger streamers

[late bane]

Pretty much

[warm trench]

I'm a developer .. man I hate being around other developers more than I thought I would.

[edgy oar]

It's this too. It's not normalized yet to pay mods even among larger streamers. I know a few who do but not all.

Honestly paying mods needs to be normalized much more.

[ocean agate]

they do it how they want, and thats just fine. as long as everyone is happy with the arrangement

[lapis flame]

i dont doubt that corporations pay their moderators, but that comes from a difference in culture

[fierce bison]

they pay community managers

[lapis flame]

i agree, if you can, pay your mods.

[strange ember]

Which is fair, kobolds are awesome

[late bane]

The reason I'm ok sending so much money here is I'm not buying him a lambo, I'm supporting a team, the mods, the ferrets. I love it

Love how he takes care of his crew

[edgy oar]

Even if I didn't pay my mods, if my mods had to deal with a shitshow like Thor's mods have to deal with right now I would 100% pay them for the effort.

[warm trench]

Don't forget Hobgoblins

[strange ember]

I'm thirteen times younger than gremlins than you are!
(Five years, 6 months)

[hazy storm]

Why bad?

I don't know the history

[late bane]

What is it lol

[terse pelican]

Zeta Creation does Guitarr Amps & such?

[warm trench]

First thing about fight club is that you don't talk about fight club

[lapis flame]

errrr, adult stuff im assuming

[simple hawk]

It's someone finding a stupid way of parroting the whole thor does things to the ferrets bullshit.

[strange ember]

wrong one

[simple hawk]

So, bad.

It's obscure and unique enough it could be added to a red flag for the Twitch chat.

[terse pelican]

I see.

[warm trench]

There used to be a piece of lititure near our hazardous communications area - had a list of of chemicals not to combine to prevent said effects. I pointed out the owner ... so basically, this gives an accurate list on what to combine to cause horrendous outcomes. He removed it from general access.

[simple hawk]

Also darn, just in time for LittleHam to go AFK lmao.

[strange ember]

Yeah. It's similar to BD but bad production/engineering quality and furry-related

[lapis flame]

maybe put in a ticket for this?

[warm trench]

Another words, direct message recipients with certain types of information.

[soft vector]

I also don't know of another streamer who donates tts to charity If they don't respond to it

[simple hawk]

Darnit, good call, I'll quickly do that. I keep forgetting about the damn mod tickets. 🤣

[late bane]

Terrifying

[hasty grail]

https://youtu.be/lrzKT-dFUjE
unrelated, but i cast AGE TO DUST

[wind hare]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au3-hk-pXsM

[strange ember]

I put in a suggestion ticket

[outer gust]

@simple hawk thanks for showing us that one

[strange ember]

Weebls is pure earworm

[simple hawk]

Aha! Beat me to it. But yeah, gross seeing someone mentioning that, and it's a bit of cursed knowledge that might slip past filters.

[strange ember]

I also added a bit more context and an alternate

[simple hawk]

It's hella cursed knowledge, but clearly bad-faith accusatory BS them asking it like that.

[strange ember]

They apparently changed names

[outer gust]

dw i recognize the name

[strange ember]

I'm surprised I didn't, honestly

[gloomy forge]

I don't even know what was happening.

and its better that way most likely.

[lunar moth]

Nor do I, but I suspect it is probably better that way

(If nothing else becuse then I'd get sucked into another rabbit hole to read up on... ^^')

[simple hawk]

Yes, better that way.

[gloomy forge]

a lot of people here think similar. We can never get rid of the cult allegations

[lunar moth]

Pft! xD

[simple hawk]

Meanwhile, I'm still snickering over Thor's reaction to the "the missile knows where it is by knowing where it isn't" TTS earlier today.

[gloomy forge]

Yeah that was a good one.

chat is a bunch of high tier memesters.

[wind hare]

Now I spiraling down Youtube videos. I forgot how good this video is in describing the craziness we are seeing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1BneeJTDcU

[simple hawk]

I was giggling like a bloody idiot writing it, completely forgot I wrote it, and then Thor's reaction awoke that laugh in me again.

So bloody good to see Birthday Stream is going well too, so many hype trains!

[gloomy forge]

Yeah, not only that, today evryone is so happy with energy and positivity from chat like every stream would be god-tier.

I wrote my design document as well.

[simple hawk]

Oh hell yeah!

[gloomy forge]

Thor today said something extremly nice. a random chatter asked what I wanted to ask him personally, if you can simply just make a game alongside the gameJAM without subscribing and he said "of course my dude" even bystanders can learn.

Sitton would've been the perfect name.

[worthy ivy]

#totallynotaculthonest

[opaque raven]

Ah yes, I can see people already explained the rest so, about Kobolds. I'm gonna try to cover everything

First, Goblins are a very broad type in many forms of media, they can be cute, evil, chaotic, aggressive, playful, cool, etc. Another race that also share this trait are the Kobolds.

Both races have many similarities like enjoying being in groups (like us), can be playful (like us) and slightly chaotic (like us). In my opinion both races can represent very well the group that formed around PS. Also both races are very well known and represented in many game/shows/animes/etc.

That being said, I'm pushing Kobold Propaganda so we can have one more variety, more things to share, more fun, more interaction and ofc to add more lore and mythology to our community. I'm ofc not the only one, I'm just very vocal, hyped and spearheading, you can see more and more joining in.

At the end of the day it's all just to have fun ☀️

[terse pelican]

Did he ever implement the Roles, Or did he forget/get distracted?

[strange ember]

I mean the simple summary is: Grown-up-only Toy Company for Furries. The reference in that way was a pretty obvious reference to the bad faith accusations about what Thor does with Snail's House (the ferret rescue).

[fierce bison]

sounds like you need to advocate for a kobold role

[strange ember]

You gonna make me break out GraphicsGale and make a new PFP for the discord...
Le sigh

[indigo wadi]

The finnster was amazing

[opaque raven]

You also use GraphicsGale?!?!?
Hell ye!!!

It's my ol' reliable

[strange ember]

I don't even remember when I was introduced to it, but it was plenty good for doing pixel art so I never felt a need to upgrade

[opaque raven]

Love it with a passion, even with Aseprite always on the corner waiting to kill it

[strange ember]

and "I don't remember" means it was probably in the 00's

I wonder if I ever tried Aesprite

[opaque raven]

Ye, I mean, it was my first ever art tool and I've been using it since forever

[gloomy forge]

GG is incredible, free as well.

[warm trench]

Thor was talking about monster battlers, I'm making a retro dungeon crawl with lots of grindy monster fights.

[strange ember]

I've swapped off GIMP for Krita... they updated to 3.0, stuff got less usable and I just said "yeah, screw this"

[gloomy forge]

ohhh this one looks nice.

[blissful imp]

uhhhhhhhhhh the roblox ceo is weird https://www.dexerto.com/roblox/roblox-ceo-wants-adults-to-use-platform-as-a-dating-service-3226769/

[gloomy forge]

[strange ember]

ewwww Dexerto

[toxic rampart]

[strange ember]

use a real source

[opaque raven]

The "bad" thing about GG is that it's very manual, kinda hard to learn and get used to it I suppose

[blissful imp]

i know

[opaque raven]

But it's also good that it's so manual, you have soooo much control

[strange ember]

Considering I'm doing spritework.... that manual nature is exactly what I want

I think the biggest thing I ever made was like 64x64

[gloomy forge]

I love manual stuff thats the spirit of pixel art.

I draw pixel art in two ways, one if with a normal brush but without fine edges and the second is placing pixels like they're minecraft blocks.

and GG is super useful for the later.

[opaque raven]

Oh...well...you will see 🔥

[gloomy forge]

btw guys, since I'm new in all of the game development things, how does a usualy game design document look like and how long should it be?

or is it the wrong place to ask here.

[opaque raven]

Hmm I'm pretty sure we have examples somewhere...I will take a look when I get home

[undone dragon]

I think Thor has a sample one on his site. And then, like all things, adjust to your/your team's own needs

[opaque raven]

Isn't there a link on the jam itself?

[opaque raven]

Not the wrong place at all, but ofc you can get more specialized topics on the specific channels

[gentle mortar]

In https://develop.games/ website, there is a example of GDD
Also here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vl7BMvzUOhbunJrI_X1gUc6x-LAp3aaBiPwHUf27B70/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.lr899156xjnx

[worthy ivy]

this is why the gimp doesn't flow like it used to!
hadn't used it in an aaaage and installed 3.0.something and now I know why it felt weird 🙂

[gloomy forge]

Thank you!

[strange ember]

yeah, the second one is the only way I do pixel art 🙂

[strange ember]

https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxsucks/comments/1l2yye0/gimp_30_is_here_i_hate_it/
I was quite fed up when I wrote this

[soft vector]

Winky in Chat has made this so much better

[opaque raven]

Isolated pixel arts are fluid so you can keep interchanging your styles
The thing with game sprites is that you basically need to respect proportions on multiple sprites so your art style remains consistent, and this can be very hard if not respected soon

There are techniques for scaling like the brilliant Mode7 but ye, anyway

[worthy ivy]

I'm gonna stick with it for now as I pretty much only use it to slap Thor's face on shit 🙂

but is Krita a decent alternative for real editing and that?

[strange ember]

Not sure, I've just started using it, but it appears to do everything I used GIMP for, and also doesn't have a UI from 1999... and has more capable tools and brushes and stuff by default

[reef geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/skateboard-turtle-tech-deck-gif-10672347830644001121

Me having a mouse wheel again for the first time in years

[wicked schooner]

Tutel

[reef geyser]

My Gx9 has been slowly dying for years, each button winking out as time goes on. The wheel stopped spinning or even registering ages ago, though the middle click still works.

I macrod the wheelup and wheeldown to the DPI buttons below left mouse click. That's how I've been using the "wheel" for years.

But recently it started ghosting on the left click itself. Death knell. S o I finally replaced. Have a wheel again. It's wild.

[mellow goblet]

I have remembered that this website exists

https://itsyourbirthday.today/?name=Thor

[gloomy forge]

the gigamount

[toxic rampart]

Boot times? Still a full minute+
I might be missing something here but...?????

And you can still nab the old 2.0+ as well.

Do you have a bunch of stuff to set to like.. preload or something?

[terse pelican]

First time Startup of Gimp takes a little, but after that, It should be fast

[toxic rampart]

That was the second boot from this version lol.
I didn't even know a new version was out until this moment

[terse pelican]

I downloaded gimp a few days ago cause I got a Cursed Quest.

[opaque raven]

Oh ye, I never got the idea of the quests

Like, how do you get one, who can get one and what's the prize

[short shadow]

when in twitch chat a single person a day can use channel points to redeem a cursed quest, there is no price and anyone can get one

[vocal tree]

The price is the VIP diamond

[terse pelican]

You redeem it in Twitch Chat, One per day, And you get to pick between 3 options usually, Cooking, Art or Dance

Thor then thinks and decides what you have to do with the topic you pick

[vocal tree]

And chat decides if it is cursed enough

[terse pelican]

And if it is, You steal VIP from someone ( The Person that had VIP the longest )

[vocal tree]

Also no deadline on finishing it

[terse pelican]

^ That too

[short shadow]

i did not know about the VIP part but that is an amazing way to distribute VIP on twitch

[terse pelican]

It's unique for sure

[opaque raven]

What's VIP on twitch?

[terse pelican]

It's just a special symbol in a streamers chat

Some streamers have it set up so VIP's can send Links without getting timed out/deleted, ETC

[opaque raven]

Do we have somewhere saved the dances and food of those who completed their quest before??

[terse pelican]

Don't think so?

[vocal tree]

No idea

[opaque raven]

Now that some already passed I suppose I was wrong on my assumption
I thought that with the end of the Thunderdome the weird people would go around throwing trash in different channels across the server since the Thunderdome was a containment for them
But this just didn't happen, at least not on the scale I imagined

Pretty cool

And we probably even retained a lot of people who came initially just to create chaos

[lyric venture]

Well that and presumably what little has have been purged. Which is good. I think that channel might have been a good pressure relief valve but wasn't needed anymore.

[earnest cove]

The amount of people taking the effort to go al the way to the stream just to get banned is quite amazing

[opaque raven]

I mean, GenChat is constantly getting weird people

[lyric venture]

That is fair, I dont spend much time in there cause its a bit chaotic ;p

[opaque raven]

They are machines that transform
"Member since: today"
into
"Banned users can't get your messages"

[terse pelican]

I never hang out in Gen chat, I just sit here

[late bane]

Gen moves way to fast

[opaque raven]

You are missing out 80% of my Kobold Propaganda

[terse pelican]

Propaganda? You mean truth.

[soft vector]

You have to pretty much get on right when the stream starts to even hope to have a chance to redeem it

[terse pelican]

Yeah, It's very desirable, And since there's a VIP Cap of IIRC, 100, it's gonna be a fight to get it

[earnest cove]

Gen chat is too deep in the injoke hole for me to understand I feel really left out

stream chat is more understandable

[wet storm]

Stream chat huffs the correct brand of glue

[earnest cove]

what's it made of?

[wet storm]

Glue

[earnest cove]

horse? cow? Mushrooms?

yes but the sourcing of the glue

[wet storm]

Glue

snifffffff

Glue

[earnest cove]

heh

[toxic rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/glue-eat-glue-eating-glue-eat-blue-gif-25200006

[wet storm]

It's made from the beaten dead horse of SKG

Melted and turned to glue

[earnest cove]

as so it IS horse glue

Man the youtube chat is wild

[terse pelican]

I'm a Twitch viewer, Just can't stand the Youtube UI for livestreams

[earnest cove]

it's to the point where I just 🍿 watching the crazies getting nuked

For some reason, the place I live makes twitch forever buffer like crazy so i could never watch anything on twitch

[terse pelican]

oof

[lyric venture]

Presumably you have tried turning off low latency on twitch? Sometimes that causes problems for some

[earnest cove]

yeah I tried everything and no dice

[lyric venture]

Weird

[dawn valve]

Are you using mobile?

[earnest cove]

Since I live in a tall apartment phone signals are also always crap

Nope desktop

[dawn valve]

The twitch app has always been shit but recently extra shit

[earnest cove]

i really think it's my building being weird

[warm trench]

I'm patiently waiting for the Curse Quest Review Board. I hope my entry is cursed enough.

[muted robin]

catching up on TTS, i'm so happy so many subs got gifted today

i gave a few myself

but damn the numbers were going up fast

[earnest cove]

yeah it's weird so i just gave up on using twitch and stick to youtube

[warm trench]

Oh, and other news today. Wife told me to take the cat to the vet. And to get a microchip. I guess when I am lost, I can be returned home now.

[earnest cove]

hold up--

Whoa

[lyric venture]

If you have shared internet it could be bandwidth limiting

[earnest cove]

somebody bot spammed

[earnest cove]

Yeah I'm very sure it's that. my entire apartment is like 20 something floors with 8 apartments per floor so it's quite overcrowded

[lyric venture]

Yeah I would be curious if you used a VPN if that would change anything. I would guess if you have shared, they probably limit Twitch. Easy to do that, very hard to limit Youtube considering all the other part ofs Youtube thats used.

[earnest cove]

youtube also has the advantage of having servers local to my country

twitch doesn't unfortunately

[lyric venture]

Yeah that helps too. But I know companies that also limit Twitch, because one stream can be anywhere from 6-8Mbps. Can add up pretty quick.

[reef geyser]

KristopherYee raiding for Thor's B-Day stream regardless of the backlash he'll get. He's a real one.

[terse pelican]

He's been clear from the start he doesn't want any part in the dumb drama, He's a good one

[jolly sky]

Redzy, Winky, Kristoferyee, and Annie. The only good to come out of the previous dark times

[gloomy forge]

Class act, don't pick a side. Just see things of what they are and judge them accordingly.

[ocean agate]

i find it odd when someone asks when will you finish heartbound....assuming they play, he puts out monthly updates which means that the sooner its "finished" the less content you have left to play. but the price stays the same either way....that goes for other games too like they choose to push it back and include more content, they dont increase the price so bring on the delay, give me free content

[gloomy forge]

Also better when the audience if chill.

[terse pelican]

Honestly, I think most of the people that ask, aren't legit Heartbound fans, They're doing it to be trolls

[earnest cove]

Youtube chat really going nutty today. quite entertaining

whole walls of spams

[gloomy forge]

I'm gonna dive into that game.

[ocean agate]

i agree, this is just something i was thinking about last night while i was laying in bed staring at the ceiling

[earnest cove]

I played heartbound once waaaaaaaaaaaaaay early in the day and it was already very mind bendy

[terse pelican]

I tried the Demo a while back, Not exactly my kind of game, but not a bad game

[jolly sky]

I'd put a strong bet on 80% of these people complaining about Heartbound didn't even know or care for it until the recent nonsense

[strange ember]

It's actually 24 seconds, and no we never did figure out why

[jolly sky]

Even moreso once the disingenuous "Code Reviews" starting coming in

[ocean agate]

i am sitting here doing all the writting for my gamejam game, then....time to program and stream. i get why he doesnt write on stream i thought i would but...i just couldnt do it

[lyric venture]

Sadly the people like CJ and others have "learned" that they can get stupid amounts of views jumping on hate vs just making good content.

[gloomy forge]

Yeah its fine, just make stuff doesn't even matter if it works.

[lyric venture]

As Thor pointed out a while back during the first drama, likely not a sustainable way of doing content creation but hey, anything for a quick buck apparently

[jolly sky]

The dude even deleted and made another Twitter account, likely because he was getting people calling him out on his nonsense

[golden latch]

yeah thinking and listening/reading is so hard to do in tandem

[ocean agate]

mostly i made the map for the area

[earnest cove]

He was definitely running

[jolly sky]

And yet he continues, because he made Heartbound perform worse to sell the idea to his fans that its "poorly optimised"

[soft vector]

Normal Videos get a few k Views. A PS Video a million

[golden latch]

why didnt he just buy a copy of the game could have even put it as a business expense

[ocean agate]

some people act like PS is just a $ symbol or tag you add to your video for views

[lyric venture]

Yep. If you have no scruples I get it, if you only get 30k views and can make a video or multiple that each get a million, the amount of ad rev you get from that is insane comparatively.

[worthy ivy]

*cries in three-figure views on handcrafted tech-house mixes if he's lucky

[lyric venture]

But yeah, sad. Though it was funny, saw someone on TikTok yesterday that was jokingly (and it was apparent he was a supporter) that he was going to start a beef with Thor just to get views cause initially he just saw positivity but now that he knows he can get views, he needed beef. It was a pretty funny pointing out of that situation.

[ocean agate]

im lucky if the bot watches my stream😆

[earnest cove]

the scammiest thing is the fact his real commission is reviewing resumes for 350 per hour

the drama is advertising for that service

[jolly sky]

I've got another one for you

[earnest cove]

that's probably illegal somewhere

[worthy ivy]

nah, that's a couple hundred views (maybe) over three weeks or so

when I stream on rumble I have like three people and I'm sure they're all bots!

[winged knoll]

hallo

gib

[soft vector]

I will never stop laughing that people pay for a tts to troll Thor to only get it nuked. Thanks for the free Money

[frozen sonnet]

No way

[lyric venture]

lol I was just thinking the same thing

[winged knoll]

is it joke or the guy serious

[opaque raven]

Hell ye!! Thor is playing Etrian Odyssey 3!!
EO is one of my favorite series, love it

[jolly sky]

This was after someone called him out for his intentional reducing of performance of Heartbound;

[earnest cove]

🤣 and he calls thor the arrogant evil one??????????????????

[golden latch]

thats also why thor made it bits not $ cause money can be charged back

[worthy ivy]

sometimes he'll let the troll tts play cos he is good sport and it's hard to tell if it's trolling or goblining until the punchline 🙂

[frozen sonnet]

Holy hell what is wrong with him

[terse pelican]

IIRC, you can still chargeback Bits, But doing so would terminate your twitch account

[ocean agate]

Thor reads the message on discord before the audio starts saying it so he can screen them

[winged knoll]

money

money money

[lyric venture]

You can, but yeah Twitch reviews that and may deny it or kill the account. And from my understanding, Thor still gets the bits the hit would be on Twitch's side.

[golden latch]

i mean win win at that point cause it would get the card also flagged as potentially stolen

[earnest cove]

this goes beyond money man. It's high on superiority complex

[soft vector]

Why am I not surprised that he can't properly Benchmark

[lyric venture]

My guess is its worse than that, he knows what hes doing and did it just to make things look worse, cause again, views.

[winged knoll]

He's not a game dev, so it's moot

[soft vector]

I get the Impression that he does Not in fact know what he's doing

[opaque raven]

Since school is out for summer vac...should we expect more bans and trolls on twitch?

[jolly sky]

Which is even the crazier part. Why are people trusting this Finance programmer on Game Design

[winged knoll]

Yeah idk lol

[lyric venture]

THat maybe. I never even heard of that person till the other day so I have no context to the rest of his content.

[soft vector]

Because he sounds smart so they assume he's an expert

[golden latch]

it wont really slow down till vacay is over

[lyric venture]

TO a degree but I doubt school has as much to do with it vs other things

[winged knoll]

He doesn't sound smart imo

[golden latch]

there has been a lot of kids coming here to stir for entertainment so it would drive them off a bit

[umbral gazelle]

because they are already fully disillusioned with Thor and will jump to anyone whos anti thor to satisfy their own need to hate?

[gentle mortar]

he sounds smart to a consumer/not very tech savvy person, to the rest he doesn't sound smart

[soft vector]

Yeah, the bit I watched was basically him dunking on people for not answering Interview questions correctly

[umbral gazelle]

Discord plz dont de reply my message xD

[winged knoll]

Fair

[terse pelican]

As a complete goof with tech, I'd probably be in the minority then cause I don't think he sound smart

[wispy plover]

typically how most $350 scams work. Prey on the weak.

[winged knoll]

[umbral gazelle]

fake it til you make it type personality as long as he sounds smart people will think hes smart.

[winged knoll]

backboneless behavior

[soft vector]

There's one person who can charge people $350 for how to get Jobs, Soham

[earnest cove]

1000000% pathetic human being who's actually grifting

man the people getting banned failed to graduate preschool in terms of emotional maturity

[terse pelican]

Half of them make hate-raging their entire internet personality

[gentle mortar]

Have you seen the bans in bingo? Lots of people are so goddamn immature. It's quite bonkers

[earnest cove]

Oh I'm watching the bans as 🍿 because they're so immature they're funny

So, so, so many people are stuck as 4 year olds emotionally

[soft vector]

I think the best in all of that is them thinking it will get a rise out of Thor. Meanwhile he's just gaming and vibing

[gentle mortar]

Oh don't get me wrong, same here. It's quite incredible how some people can use ALL the buzzwords in the same sentence, with which you can construct a new youtube title for a slop video.

[earnest cove]

bingo? wait there's a room with bingo?

[winged knoll]

[terse pelican]

Khronos does Unban Reqest Bingo when he plays Bitcraft

[gentle mortar]

Khronos does unban requests

[spare topaz]

Khronos has unban bingo on his stream

[winged knoll]

I'm distancing myself from the streams for a bit

[terse pelican]

Only on Twitch though

[winged knoll]

so i don't get emotionally evoked

[earnest cove]

HAHAHAHAHAHA XD

that's funny

awww on twitch that doesn't work with my family apartment

[gentle mortar]

that's what i'm talking about, it goes level deeper in unban message

double the content dude

[lyric venture]

Do VODs work at all? I would think that would buffer easier than live content

[earnest cove]

It's because twitch doesn't have a server near my location and I live in an overcrowded area, so everything gets bottlenecked weirdly. Vods likely won't work unless I can put them 460p

[lyric venture]

I mean you can go down I think all the way to 160p on vods, though I have to imagine it would not really look but like 1 pixel ;p

[gloomy forge]

how are you guys still typing stuff, go make gamejam game

[kindred sedge]

AND TO ALL THOSE WHO SAY THE PIRATE MANS DOESNT READ TWITCH CHAT
-# I was the one who said the "as long as your not your own grandpa thing

[winter sierra]

Whats the theme? I missed it

[gloomy forge]

its "only one"

I already have everything written down, from a 2 page design document to 15 pages and counting.

and I'm making my first draft of the cover art.

[winter sierra]

good luck :D

[jolly sky]

And the theme "Only One", won with only one vote

You couldn't make it up if you tried

[gloomy forge]

Yeah i came here to talk about SKG and now I make my own stuff.

What did you guys do to me.

[earnest cove]

LOL the amount of people who go "I can't believe you still watch this man" when they realise people still watch him

It was voted, and had 1 More vote than the 2nd option

[winged knoll]

ah

so it's not just 1 vote ok got it

[soft vector]

Yeah, Chat voted

[gloomy forge]

I can't draw and make stuff for shit but goddamn its fun. even if its just for myself.

[winged knoll]

make it cursed

what's your game genre?

[toxic rampart]

Who knows. Maybe that little 3.0.4 update solved it in the mean time?
Took me longer to find it than boot with a fresh install from flathub.
Might be worth a shot again if you're used to the work flow.

[terse pelican]

ONLY Hyper-photorealistic, 12k Res Graphics, OR no balls.

[gentle mortar]

haha, i don- wait-
I should do a game, but drama tho…

[latent geyser]

btw i def want to see more of this game being played

[regal prism]

any mod around?

[opaque raven]

That's Kobold behavior
Nice

[regal prism]

I'm getting DM'd by them now

[terse pelican]

Depends, What's the issue?

[earnest cove]

oh he ended stream

[regal prism]

letting you know, I'm currently getting DMs from a chat hopper (probably)

[winged knoll]

block them kek

[frozen sonnet]

Thought it was a 24 hour stream today

[terse pelican]

Oh, If it's something 'important' related to the Stream/Discord, Mod Ticket, But if it's just someone DM'ing you and you don't want them, Block them

[regal prism]

aight bet

[late bane]

No he stayed up all yesterday and today like a goober

[wispy plover]

Don't doubt there woulda been if he hadn't been awake for 27 hrs now

[gentle mortar]

thor was awake since 10 am yesterday, so hell nah

[frozen sonnet]

I didn’t know that, yeah the man needs his sleep

[frozen sonnet]

Damn homie needs some sleep

[idle hill]

bro's been working on Heartbound the whole time

he deserves some rest

[idle hill]

ticket + block is the strat

who knows if they're DMing anyone else in the server

[strange ember]

I'm not really that used to it. The biggest factor for me switch was realizing I'd need to learn new methods for some of my basic operations. At which point I've been annoyed with GIMP for over a decade, and why not try something that doesn't make me annoyed every time I boot it up

[terse pelican]

Also an option

[opaque raven]

I don't even know how to block someone on discord

[idle hill]

lmao

[terse pelican]

Not that I did it, Just a visual guide

[idle hill]

Sure

[gloomy forge]

D: how could you do that to our boi

[toxic rampart]

Very true tbh.
Says the dude obviously on Linux and has a mild anger stroke each time he's forced into Windows

I get it. 100%

[strange ember]

Yeah... that's the worst part for me. Everything I'd consider using is windows only except Krita

....shit. I hope Twitch processes my resub fast enough to not break the sub streak. lol im at 20

[winged knoll]

[terse pelican]

Propogandeez.

[frozen sonnet]

This is amazing

[high canyon]

People on the internet are hilarious; saying Thor, a TWITCH streamer's career is over cause he lost some youtube subs lol. The amount of dumb is reaching scary levels

thatd be like saying Meat Canyon's career if over if he stopped streaming on twitch

[vocal crystal]

The statistics right now are bleak but it'll run it's course and bounce back

[late bane]

New drama farmer came out so I'm sure we'll get to deal with them

[high canyon]

4-5k viewers on twitch for 12-13 hours is still top percent of percent of twitch streamers

[terse pelican]

Everyone obsess over Thors numbers, and here he is, Just doing his thing, Giving is banger streams like today.

[forest glacier]

people are leaving both platforms. income has been affected. I still support Thor but lets not paint a pretty picture over reality here.

[high canyon]

Today was amazing; 2 huge hype trains and a bunch of smaller ones

[vocal crystal]

I'm referencing the down trend over the last few months but you are correct

[late bane]

4 to 5k is super high from looking at the average or rather what other are pulling on the left of the screen

I wonder if there is a touch of jealousy

[high canyon]

yeah numbers are down, but the stream is far from "cooked" or "game over" like trolls and youtube talking heads keep saying

[late bane]

[high canyon]

I love that emote ❤️

[late bane]

Same, its hilarious

[winged knoll]

[frozen sonnet]

[forest glacier]

I think a lot of the people who really think like Thor and support Thor through all of this are the type of people to not be talking on Discord much if at all..... anyone get that sense? like Thor himself is a person to be out foraging for mushrooms or pursuing whatever hyperfixation he finds next... If people like him join his community, maybe they are also likely to be found outside or fixating on a project... or maybe they share a common lack of social skills being that were all nerds on the internet

[late bane]

Think he mentioned a majority of the active watchers aren't actually on discord

On Tuesday or something

[toxic rampart]

For every vocal minority,
There is a silent majority.

That and honestly, most people probably don't give a damn.

[frozen sonnet]

I’ve been more active on this server over the last month, but usually I’m not and mostly catch his streams before I goto bed, I didn’t even know about the drama until i visited the server

[forest glacier]

Oh 100% I laugh at the fact of how many people dont even know these events are taking place.

[late bane]

I feel the two lv 30 trains are our show of force since the crew don't want us acting like chat hoppers

[ocean agate]

wasnt there recently a price increase for some locations for subs on twitch?

[quartz sonnet]

It took me probably 16 months of watching Thor’s streams before I actually joined the Discord.

[forest glacier]

even better than not being aware that this is happening; how many people out there dont even play WoW or dont actually program, so the entire world that these events reside in doesnt exist to a lot of people XD

[opaque raven]

AH!!

[arctic jungle]

ive been watching thor for a long time and only joined disc today to see what people are saying cause ive been a bit disappointed for the first time with him for his responses to peoples valid criticisms... there are obviously lots of invalid criticisms but still

[winged knoll]

On unrelated topic but @minor nymph promised us Kobo and Gobo roles

[high canyon]

I just cant understand the mindset of going into a 12 hour stream with 5.5k viewers and saying "time to quit" lol

[ocean agate]

he did, thats true

[late bane]

Mod ticket lol

[high canyon]

Are Kolbods doggies?

[ocean agate]

lol

[winged knoll]

hmm can you cite some of those?

[wispy plover]

B-but that's what my reddit daddies told me to do!

[frozen sonnet]

Reddit

[vocal crystal]

Might be referring to some of the youtube vids of people grabbing discord chat messages and analyzing them

[high canyon]

But for real, I looked up Kolbolds, there are so many depeictions

[late bane]

He's cooked

No ya nuts we're cooking
Learn the difference

[winged knoll]

Per my understanding, most of his response to valid critism have been positively perceived

[golden latch]

I like the dog faced leathery ones

[wispy plover]

We can't. Donkey is def deadge.

[vocal crystal]

Not one I saw earlier

[tender jolt]

Would love to see more etrian odyssey

[toxic rampart]

ᶦ ᶜᵃⁿᵗ ᵇᵉ ᵇᵒᵗʰᵉʳᵉᵈ ᵗᵒ ᵉᵈᶦᵗ ᶠᵒʳ ᵗʰᵉ ᵈᶦˢᶜᵒʳᵈ ᶜʰᵃᵗ

[wispy plover]

It was cool watching Etrian Odyssey today. I haven't laid eyes on it in ages.

[high canyon]

RPG's where I dont get to see my own character attack dont vibe with me, personally

Etrian still seems like a cool game series in general

[vocal crystal]

Which showed some of the pursuing litigation suggestions in the chat, which doesn't seem sound

[late bane]

Truthfully even if his defense was bad it shouldn't matter, I don't agree eith 90% of my friends take on things bit I'm still friends with him lol I don't need a mirror after all I want a human to hang out with

[tender jolt]

I love the map drawing part

[late bane]

Music was nice too

[wispy plover]

Yeah Atlus rarely misses

[lyric venture]

Ill be honest I have never even heard of that game till today. Though it looks interesting. My experience with those type of games is mostly things like The Bards Tale ;p

[high canyon]

I want more top down turn based RPGS like Fire-emblem

Ive put 1000's of hours into all of the fire emblem games

[winged knoll]

Same, still hate Nintendo

[forest glacier]

As a two year subscriber, I can confidently say you've been mislead by whatever videos or articles you read about him. The wishing his dad happy birthday thing was sarcastic teasing from the father, you can ask the father yourself on Twitch. Ive been unable to get a straight answer from anyone else about another specific incident where people are concerned over his behavior. its like they claim to be bothered by something he's done but none of them can say what it is

[opaque raven]

YES!!! They are anything and everything

[high canyon]

Imgine seeing an out of context, 32 second clip, and believing you have a firm grasp on a father-son relationship where you go demand an apology, internet is full of unhealthy degen parasocialism

[winged knoll]

When you are everything, you are nothing

Gobo, on the other hand, is the thing

[opaque raven]

They can be (Dungeon Meshi)

[forest glacier]

Im sure theres a fake psychiatrist claiming to have psycho-analyzed Yearjoys face duing the clip that everyone is believing..

[gentle mortar]

Had similar experience, I asked the person for what did Thor lied about. Didnt get banned for a long time cause mods missed him, but he never replied, not even DMs. Like tell me dammit!

[winged knoll]

Gobo > Kobo

[lunar moth]

... is it worth asking why people are talking about his dad, or is it just more fake invented drama folks are pushing for views...?

[high canyon]

I wanna be a golden lab Kolbold, if i cant, i choose goblin

[golden latch]

I mean classically they are dog faced mangy creatures but yeah they have been iterated to oblivion

[winged knoll]

They had an interaction on stream
People clip it out of context

[lunar moth]

I'm choosing to be a were-otter! xD

[winged knoll]

just nothingburger

[high canyon]

with extra salt

[quartz sonnet]

Fake drama of a father-son joke.

[lunar moth]

Oh-kay, figured it was that (another nothing burger I mean) but still - just wanted to be mentally prepared for whenever I end up seeing it

[winged knoll]

@opaque raven

everyone can name a famous gobo out of their head: Green Gobo
no one know what a Kobo is

Gobo > Kobo

[quartz sonnet]

It’s so dumb

[winged knoll]

yeah kobo dum dum

[gloomy forge]

Counter sealion them just pop up once a week in their DMs asking them why they wrote that Thor lied that until they tell you. Once they tell you everything tell them its not enough and they have to elaborate in even greater detail.

[lyric venture]

Yeah people have a hard time when they have been told by a source "You should be mad about this, if not outraged" and they dont think for themselves. So when someone else asks them "Wait, why are you mad about this?" a part of them knows "Well I can't JUST say cause someone else told me I should be mad" but they dont have a good/valid reason otherwise, so many of them short circuit.

[forest glacier]

Their trying to say Thors dad was dead serious when he was teasing Thor about not texting him for his birthday one time, and in the clip Thor clearly thought he sent the text.

[arctic jungle]

I've written and rewritten my sentence a million times cause I didnt come to fight or be attacked but, can someone explain why he was so against STG? Is it just that he doesnt want the government to enforce game companies to keep game services live after x period of time? I've mainly been disappointed because people are really nickle and diming everything he does now and he's only inflating it by staying on a counter-offensive and bashing anyone giving any form or criticism. I get he's sensitive right now with everything going on but I don't think he understands that a little honesty and vulnerability could go a long way? He has a passionate fan base with realistically silly gripes that are getting massively inflated cause he's brick walling everyone and everything :/ I've been an avid watcher since about two years as well and never really felt the need to leave the silent majority and join the vocal discord side lol

[forest glacier]

When by Yearjoys own admission everything is fine and it was just a joke

[opaque raven]

Kobos believe you are famous for your actions, not your name or origin

A Gentleman DOES rather thn IS

[high canyon]

there are 2 lovely videos Thor made about this, id watch those ❤️

[winged knoll]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioqSvLqB46Y

[lunar moth]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[lyric venture]

Yep, those two videos I think do a very good job of explaining his feelings on it.

[late bane]

Man, I cant believe thor beat the que

[golden latch]

He has been vulnerable and honest the trolls dont show that cause it doesnt push their narratives or get clicks. He is done cause he has done everything he can now its just defense

[arctic jungle]

oh i missed these somehow! thank you!

[lyric venture]

I suspect if he was playing a different game (like Dune) it would have been much harder to beat the queue ;p

[gentle mortar]

That's incredible, I dont remember who it was but I should try that. But I wanna make a game so idk if they stay for so long :(

[high canyon]

even those last 2 sneaky ones lol

[opaque raven]

You sound like a cool and chill person ☀️

[arctic jungle]

I can see that side and that makes sense too.

[opaque raven]

I'm putting you on the Kobold team

[golden latch]

You cant just kidnap them

[arctic jungle]

Thors always been really objective and I respect that. Just trying to be the same way and I feel like my feeds are clouded with trolls and hate, came here for the proper thor side

[late bane]

Its harder than you think to get it before it goes emote only

[forest glacier]

The initiative is bad, lead by an extremely shady character, with very poor wording. Thor is against it because he is a game dev and this is a very anti-game dev thing to pose especially "seeking government oversight"

[opaque raven]

It's not kidnap, it's just bringing them without consent or permission
Jeeeee

[forest glacier]

What the initiative is asking for would actively hurt games, but players cant comprehend that because they dont know a damn thing about game dev

[lunar moth]

Here's the thing: everyone is tired of dealing with SKG trolls here, especially Thor, considering he's been swatted multiple times for simply voicing concerns about how the thing was (and still is) written.
There's a metric ton of misinformation about what SKG is being pushed out there primarily by Ross Scott - not by Thor, and dealing with the amount of harassment, trolls, and drama farming is tiresome.

That's why folks are going "not this again."

[vocal crystal]

A few members of their parliament have joined the movement aswell

[forest glacier]

The way EU initiatives work bothers me, as an American. I want as little government involvment in things as possible TYVM

[high canyon]

I like to imagine a world where we can get millions of people to rally around getting governments to focus on something that actually matters, like making sure kiddos dont die from lack of insulin or tuburculosis medications that have been around for 50 years, thatd be nuts

[quartz sonnet]

Would recommend starting there, if there's still confusion, feel free to reach out. Most folks here engage in good faith, but I would be mindful that SKG is heavily monitored discussion topic and a lot of folks in this community would rather move on from it.

[high canyon]

this

[gentle mortar]

You know what's terrible about Youtube? Youtube encourages and promotes new videos and let's older videos die to dust in the algorithm. SO if you wanna see all the statements made, it was 10 months ago. What's worse is that people want newer videos, cause many aren't "lazy" perse, but heavily discouraged by youtube to look up videos that are older, and that's fricking shame.

[vocal crystal]

You and me both

[winged knoll]

There is more nuances to STG

• There are other people than just game publisher / players involved, which is indie studio / game developer. Legal Obligations would even put making new games even harder, considering gaming has been underfunded / going down much lately, thus would kill more games in the process
• Some attack vectors that Thor mentioned in the video
• You can only suggest what you want to the government, what they actually do is beyond your control, could potentially be more harmful, could just do a nothingburger
• Support game preservation by voting with your wallets, buy games from studio / developers that do you right

[arctic jungle]

I agree with this. I don't get relevant, I get whats newest.

[winged knoll]

But let's not talk about STG because it's a forbidden topic

[golden latch]

Youtube created this hate mob btw as they incentivized the whole thing with money isnt that a fun thought

[winged knoll]

don't want to get yeeted

[arctic jungle]

Ohhhhhhhh shit sorry I didn't know it was a forbidden topic

[winged knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/yeet-lion-king-simba-rafiki-throw-gif-16194362

[winged knoll]

No worry

[subtle violet]

Is streamchat just stg-thunderdome now? I've been absent 😞

[wet coral]

It's counted as politics and we dont do politics

[arctic jungle]

True that makes sense

[gloomy forge]

Oh people are already posting towards the reasonable requester. I wanted to add something too but people already cover things a plenty.

[lyric venture]

Thor's videos is a good start and finish to the question at this point. Beyond that it should stay away imo ;p

[wet coral]

When watching the videos. keep in mind. The attacks on a personal level have been Apologized for on Twitter.

[forest glacier]

Streamchat has always been the channel people talk about "real shit". Its weird. but im down...

[lunar moth]

It is not; we have had that and at this point, folks just want to move on - like doing stuff with the Gamejam!

How's everyone's Jam Gaming along? ^^

[golden latch]

Its okay we are just done with it cause its no longer in “the populace’s” court and the lawmakers have to make decisions and talk about it now we cant do anything now that it has its signatures so there is no point discussing it here is the idea

[gentle mortar]

about 68k replies in one channel (Thundedome channel), it was talked to death, resurected and death again

[high canyon]

I cant wait for tonight's stream

[winged knoll]

Oh and you can still be disappointed with Thor, it's fair game. I can't change your opinion, but i still respect that you don't attack Thor with baseless accusation 😁

[subtle violet]

Gizmo mentioned 💜

[forest glacier]

I may be part of the reason people use streamchat to talk about "real shit"...... its still weird AF, why would I do such a thing? 😂

[gloomy forge]

Its best to listen to both sides, watch Thors 2 videos first, maybe take notes in what Thor is saying here, and then try to watch Ross video, try to figure out if what both Thor and Ross said are justified and make up your own mind.

[winged knoll]

general is too degen imo

[wet coral]

I am dissappointed in Thor for he has to sleep. I thought he was our AI Bot Overlord!

[earnest cove]

Someone in chat was talking about the mujin video

for those who want context, it's this

[golden latch]

i can bring the cursed content here if you want

[earnest cove]

so if anyone talks about a mujin vidio it's this one

[gentle mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/scared-heavy-creepy-sir-space-cow-gif-19500873

[wet coral]

Long blocked in my feeds that channel. Only Drama slop.

[subtle violet]

Ah yes, yt slop

[arctic jungle]

I'd turn into the people I hate if I didn't approach anything objectively and take a look from both sides 😅 these videos are already answering a lot of important questions for me, thank you again

[wispy plover]

What's important is that you didn't come in and shit on the walls like a lot of people have been, and you didn't have all the facts or info. Now you have more info to base your own informed decision on. It's a nice change of pace from what a lot of us get to see.

[forest glacier]

a picture of a video doesnt give me much context on the video 😛

[jolly sky]

ik im teasing

https://tenor.com/view/money-abba-gif-10928936

[subtle violet]

I really like how Thor's been addressing it lately it's so unlike others ;_; I enjoy it

[lunar moth]

General_chat is too fast and too much meme, Pirate_pass is limited to subscribers, and Streamchat is generally just used when folks are talking about events or things happening on stream - so when folks aren't talkinga bout stuff on stream, folks talk in here usually because it is a bit slower paced, but it also turned into the place where some folks would talk about stuff not really for this Discord

[earnest cove]

what did he day?

[golden latch]

pirate pass?

[subtle violet]

seek the unique and avant-garde that's the motto

[opaque raven]

Oh, I can say a few things about this.
The ECI doesn't truly aim exclusively at bringing public ideas and making laws on top, the European Commission has the primary right of initiative to propose legislation, including repealing existing laws. So ye, you can for sure have an initiative to remove or reduce gov presence

The REFIT program (born from BE inside a public related commission) is exactly this, to reduce and simplify the regulatory burdens for businesses and individuals

[gentle mortar]

thank you for being someone to talked to, and remember, even if you were to not agree to Thor, that's fine! Lot of people here dont agree, it's just there are sometimes people who doesnt look for discussion, just yell at clouds

[lunar moth]

If you are subscribed to Thor on Twitch and your Twitch account is linked with Discord, you get access to the "Pirates Only" section - it isn't used that much, but it is there

[subtle violet]

This, until 20 people find this nice and join too 😂

[golden latch]

Where did you get one you cant have mine

[forest glacier]

You left out the part where I came into the discord and started talking about emotional and existential shit in this channel XD Thats why I said maybe it was me XD that was almost 2 years ago

[quartz sonnet]

Oooh, is that how that works? I try to keep as many of my social media stuff unlinked from each other as possible. Will probably hard pass on that.

[lunar moth]

@subtle violet ... yeah, a bit... ^^'
@golden latch I used money to steal my pirate pass - I promise you that's how it works!
@forest glacier Eh, maybe? I wasn't in the discord back then but eh, no idea
@quartz sonnet It isn't a bad thing in my opinion to link your stuff, but I understand why some stuff shouldn't be linked

Also ya'll pinged me in this order so ya'll get the same ping! Muahahahahha! xD
(Also ya'll's names became a very nice descending order of whom I pinged!)

[subtle violet]

Hahaha

[arctic jungle]

I really wish some of these youtubers pre-ambled their vids with his points in these two videos you linked honestly. Some really important points are made that I've unsuccessfully been looking for answers on

[quartz sonnet]

I appreciate the efficiency

[lunar moth]

The reason why they don't do that is because if they did, then they'd have to actually say "Hm, these are some good points and things to be concerned about" which... wouldn't get as many views.
Still though, hope you feel more informed now that you know of the videos!

[forest glacier]

I mean their pretty good at finding that information with or without your consent, and Twitch + Discord arent really sensitive accounts unless you have some kind of following, but float thine boat however you like lol

[subtle gate]

found another one

don't wanna even tease it

[forest glacier]

My man, I have YouTube too, this isnt needed XD

[subtle violet]

The dramatic AI photo has to be some type of low tier joke

[subtle gate]

definitely

[forest glacier]

TBH that just looks like a really old photo with a filter

[high canyon]

Bunch of whittle channels with less than 1k or 10k subs clawing at the drama to try and become relevant

[quartz sonnet]

At least this drama posting has enabled me to clean up my YouTube feed

[lunar moth]

Click on the three dots and then select "Don't recommend channel" - that way you are telling the algorithm that "I'm not interested in drama farmers"

[forest glacier]

He last used the mic like that.. what?... 3 years ago? lol

[subtle violet]

I mean, I'm 30 and I'm jealous of how youthful Thor looks, so it makes sense for shit posters but actual drama streamers? What a disgrace

[golden latch]

They aged his face

[subtle violet]

I've seen multiple like this, like are y'all just jealous or what? Lol

[high canyon]

They Jelly of his lucious locks

[winged knoll]

for shock value

[gloomy forge]

Keeping your mind away from drama and doomscrolling stuff is a good way to take care about yourself.

[high canyon]

hell, im only 31 and my hairline is running away like it did something bad

[golden latch]

I got this from some hater memes and tbh its prettier then we goblins draw thor

[high canyon]

im jealous of his hair

[forest glacier]

I was just posting this morning about how I was never following anyone who hopped on the drama.... and then THIS happened...

Still shook. feels like a decade of watching that channel on YT

[quartz sonnet]

Ridiculous behavior

[subtle violet]

I would pay money to become a wojack, they must've gifted him this for his birthday?

[summer night]

i need this riding a ferret

[forest glacier]

From HIM too, I always thought of GabeFollower as the guy to do the research and get to the bottom of things....

I guess he ran out of content

[golden latch]

Its days old but it is now a favorite reaction image to outlandish claims and misinformation like a pure disgust

[subtle violet]

I have been collecting ferret lately. Enjoy

[winged knoll]

the first one look like a doggo in disguise XD

[summer night]

is that a new one?

[wispy plover]

I was in chat earlier this morning and a different partner account came in and said something and got insta banned. I like little treats like that cus then I can go in and block their twitch channel from ever appearing on my feed.

[subtle violet]

It's not bad tbh but I watch MillennialThinker and crave wojack

[wispy plover]

Gonna do the same with that one rn actually

[quartz sonnet]

The wildest thing to me about the "Blizzard" vector is folks attacking him based on giving his background knowledge on stuff... It's like, why would he assume everyone knows him? That's so bloody weird lmao

[forest glacier]

lol partner account is one thing. almost a decade of long standing reputation in a different community, where your known for things like getting to the bottom of a situation, its INSANE

[winged knoll]

the emote? I'm not sure, i haven't been active in the discord for long

[high canyon]

I love the 2 minute videos compliling "all the times" hes mentioned it. Like dude streams an average of 50 hours a week, 2000 some hours a year, and you got a 2 minutes video? thats an L on those videos if you ask me

[winged knoll]

60 hours minimum

he do 12 hr x 5 days stream i think

[high canyon]

im a therapist, not a mathatist, numbers no good

[wispy plover]

I can sympathize a bit. I followed Jacksepticeye for about 15+ years and unfollowed him when he put out his video about the situation. I know a lot of people are giving him grace on it, but as one of the most experienced content creators around, he absolutely should know better than to make a video like that.

[forest glacier]

It feels like they think blizzard is some kind of hot shot company everyone wants to work with and because of that they think he is boasting when he says he works at blizzard. because the drama farmers leave out the constant bashing of blizzard for poor pay and poor working conditions

[golden latch]

!script is my favorite “retort” to that cause its like he has had this for 8+ years and they only got like 1 minute of it

[dapper raven]

Hello, my name is thor, i've been in the gaming industry for 20 years. I used to make games at blizzard, then at Amazon Games Studio, then hacked power plants for the D.O.E, I was a pen tester. Now I own my own studio called PirateSoftware and I stream here on twitch.

[high canyon]

so even more than probably 2k a year

[lyric venture]

Its also just bs. Thor generally doesn't talk about it unless hes directly asked, so 90% of those "clips" are him responding to someone asking him about it. What was Thor supposed to say? "Sorry, I can't talk about it cause someone will clip this later?" Insane.

[winged knoll]

can you tell me a bedge time story

there once was an ugly Barnacle...he was so ugly that everyone died...the end

Thousands of people daily coming to Thor's stream and asking about a trillion stuff
"He talks about this all the time"

Cute

[high canyon]

idk, Patrick stopped telling spongebob the story

[forest glacier]

I....think your old now.... XD

[high canyon]

American but German/Italian/Scottish heritage

[soft vector]

Same with the neppo bs. He also said he worked at Blizzard, quit, because he didn't feel qualified, and after getting some experience and education worked again

[lyric venture]

Im waiting to see if someone clips how many times he has said ligma. Now thats a video ;p

[forest glacier]

The kids dont know about the ugly barnacle

[winged knoll]

Mind goblin

[summer night]

im never watched spongebob

[opaque raven]

I would love to see a 2min compilation of Thor saying Banana

[lyric venture]

People also dont understand what the actual definition of "nepotism" is. Again, if people would read more than just reddit they would understand theres a big difference between that and just working at the same place other family members work.

long lemon

[forest glacier]

You COULD make that

[quartz sonnet]

Banana Long Lemon*

[forest glacier]

VODS on YouTube last a long time Im sure you could collect 2 mins of him calling it a banana.

[winged knoll]

To be fair, ultimately no one would have know exactly what happened at Blizzard with Thor + his dad

[winged knoll]

[high canyon]

KEKW

[subtle gate]

in other news another youtube content creator has been dealing with his dad's medical bills while also making Starcraft 2 content pretty much exclusively for several years and is now going to have to switch off of that to help his channel gain more popularity and I wish him the best thinking it's a much better drama than what we are dealing with here

[radiant escarp]

the only reason people probably even know about it is because the shorts where it was brought up were reccomended

[forest glacier]

Why are there streamavatars in my propaganda ad? XD

[golden latch]

The evil executives portrait he hanged behind himself in his evil office and him looking the exact same in his chair at his evil desk

[summer night]

i was thinking of a money making idea yesterday, Make a channel, get AI to talk about drama of a nonexistence person and rinse and repeat

[opaque raven]

Wait...do we have any good ai or something that can make a written script of a video? I would love to unleash this thing on all vods and do some statistics

[late bane]

Could be funny

[winged knoll]

After your channel gains 1 mil subs, you then drop a video "You all got farmed, this was generated by AI"

[summer night]

[late bane]

Actually wait

[arctic jungle]

What if I told you there are a million tiktok and youtube reels accounts pumping out subway surfer vids of AI voiced fake ragebait stories doing exactly this lmfao

[late bane]

YouTube just dropped they won't allow revenue on ai channels

[arctic jungle]
