whelp. I'll be back later.

[wind hare]

The CEO of Twitch has been going into toher streamers chats to ask for raids for his charity stream. Thats amazing. One of them timed him out lol

Looks like it was yesterday

[indigo wadi]

Hahaja

[jolly sky]

https://tenor.com/view/lmao-lol-crying-laughing-omg-gif-16938640

[balmy bone]

deserved!

[wind hare]

It's always funny whena CEO has never worked in the company that they are the head of. Any streamer would have known about how to handle themselves after even a few months.

I guess its good he's learning

[hazy storm]

the hard way but yeah

[vivid maple]

well this might hit 500k by the end of the day

[gritty tartan]

And another one.

[vivid maple]

oh jeez

[edgy oar]

Anyone see what Kson did with the Vshojo CEO?

[gritty tartan]

yeah

[vivid maple]

i missed it

[edgy oar]

It was good

[vivid maple]

all i heard was the jp branch wasnt even being paid

[edgy oar]

Pulled that guy into a call on stream and questioned him about everything, including how she hasn't been paid since last September.

Then she told him she quits in the same call.

[vivid maple]

wait she quit too?

[edgy oar]

Mhm

[vivid maple]

https://x.com/ProjektMelody/status/1947667567440761307 mel did the same thing and quit

Projekt Melody 🍆💦🥯 (@ProjektMelody)

I waited to make a statement, cuz I'm always anxious & struggle to find my words.

But, yes, i'm leaving vshojo.

I was an OG talent, put my everything into this comp. But I'm beyond devastated at what happened. & I never in a million years thought I'd be saying these words. 💔

Yes, she said that right on the stream, right to the CEO’s face.

X · Jul 22, 2025, 2:13 PM

[vivid maple]

yeah she was one of the indirect targets of the hate raiders when hogwarts legacy came out

[edgy oar]

Remember this is the same person who got fired from Hololive for saying Taiwan was a country.

[vivid maple]

oh no wonder

[edgy oar]

Yeah the chinese ate her alive and Hololive just dropped her.

[vivid maple]

yeah the chinese can kiss my ass

they are the main reason for all the stupid shit lately

[edgy oar]

So this is the SECOND time a corp has screwed her over

[vivid maple]

yeah not getting paid for almost a year will do shit to you

[edgy oar]

Not entirely sure how accurate this is but

Need to add Henya to that

[gritty tartan]

After her statement.

[edgy oar]

Mhm

[tribal nest]

They did what?? I’m not really active with VTubers, and have only been following this thread a bit, but did they really not pay them for a whole year?! That’s crazy

[edgy oar]

VShojo hasn't paid Kson since last September.

[tribal nest]

Actually insane

[lyric venture]

Thats super insane

[indigo wadi]

How can they even justify that?

[gritty tartan]

And I think that was the only time she got paid.

[edgy oar]

Also apparently VShojo hasn't been paying artists/musicians.

[gritty tartan]

[split tulip]

was he the one looking into the completionist charity fraud thing?

[gloomy forge]

[vivid maple]

yup him and the internet anarchist

[winged knoll]

I doubt this is a scam, probably mismanagement, CdawgVA said they basically generate no cashflow while spend shiton of money on advertising

[terse pelican]

Yeah, But I meant that Coffee does mostly Crypto/scam related exposés

[split tulip]

I think not paying out to a chartity like promied would be considered scam, even if they didn't personally pocket the money

[vivid maple]

yeah its just as bad as jirard with his "charity"

[terse pelican]

This whole talk makes me think of Johnny Cash

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AHCfZTRGiI and How he transformed this song

[vivid maple]

i think that was his final song before he died

[split tulip]

wait, hurt is a cover?

[terse pelican]

yes

[split tulip]

I had no idea

[lyric venture]

Yeah Trent Reznor wrote it

[split tulip]

I listen to music, but I barely follow what artists do or anything outside of it

[terse pelican]

the Original group even said that Johnny Cash made the song into something even greater than what they originally did

[gloomy forge]

educational chat.

[lyric venture]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FJvH7NPfu9w Trent talking about it

[split tulip]

I didn't even know Bowie had died until like four years later. was talking to a friend like "I hope he makes some music, I like his stuff" before they told me

[indigo wadi]

I'll give it a day before I believe it

[terse pelican]

Yeah it's rough when you learn an artist is dead

[vivid maple]

https://www.youtube.com/live/BM2kw34w0vQ

[lyric venture]

Nah I believe it. Lots of news sites are coming out with it, and it was generally considered he was on his way out even during the concert and that it really was his wake.

[vivid maple]

we know why kson didnt get paid

[terse pelican]

Is that a factual statement, or a speculation on their part?

[vivid maple]

im not sure

but it could point to one of the reasons they never got paid

[split tulip]

let's not get into accusations without any evidence behind them. we already get enough of those

[vivid maple]

well of course

its just speculations for now

and since the main branch is located in the united states talents can sue for lost wages

[split tulip]

that depends on there actually being any money in the company accounts to claw back

[proud depot]

So this is how I find out that Ozzy has passed

[split tulip]

which is usually why companies stop paying

[vivid maple]

so it was real that ozzy died

and hours beforehand trisha paytas had a child

[wispy plover]

I always loved this song

[terse pelican]

It's honestly such an amazing song.

[wispy plover]

Also, getting caught up on current events. What a day to wake up to. RIP Ozzy. And VShojo has pretty much disentegrated.

[indigo wadi]

Theo from the Cosby show also died via drowning

Dunno how to even argue other than that. Most of the content creators say things against Thor and thats fine. Shits gonna be forgotten next year.

[gloomy forge]

[ocean agate]

If most the people weren't so unhinged it would be somewhat endearing since it seems like they want him to be perfect, whereas the community on as a whole just generally accepts he's not perfect

[knotty marsh]

Thor is a shitty captain planet and that's how I like him

[boreal flower]

yeah, cuz ppl are human

perfection is a concept, can't be a reality XDc

too dang stressful to aim for and life is short

I cant wait to see how this turns out

[golden latch]

This looks dope

[boreal flower]

i just know cyyu's next stream is going to be.. an event O_O

he's already warning followers to expect a crash out or two while he tries to get back into genshin DX

[late pond]

"Let the one without sin cast the first stone" seems apt in this discussion. It's the same point about perfectionism, applied to witch hunts.

[golden latch]

Hell yeah

[boreal flower]

so glad monarch wasn't with vshojo too long

[flint sinew]

could you elaborate? did something happen?

[forest glacier]

idek if its that, I think the masses generally have no idea wtf they are talking about and they disagree heavily (due in large part to unchecked emotions) with his takes.... Ill say flat out I agree with Thor on his "hot take"

[boreal flower]

cyyu is close friends with a lot of the vshojo former members, especially amalee/monarch

[flint sinew]

oh oh you mean in that way

got it

yeah you're right

[earnest cove]

someone summarised the japanese portions in Kson's stream

KSon was planning to quit at the end of the month, Ironmouses video shocked her, so she set up the stream.
Staff had 50% pay cuts. Staff were told the talents come first... while the talents were not even being paid.
She just said "I Quit" to JP CEO
JP money was being offshored to HQ and never returned via payment system to talents. 
JP CEO didn't understand why the payments were delayed or stopped, cause enough money going out of JP and it looked like it was profitable.
US was probably loosing money on "operations"
Its been going on since September, started with delay payments, then pay, then more delays, until payments just stopped.
JP CEO says he only knew about Ironmouse's situation a few weeks ago.
The money owed Kson was planned for events and new models, so thats crushed her.

[boreal flower]

so he's very much not happy with what happened, especially since he talked about having once been scouted by a vtuber group but they wanted complete control over his VA work too and he turned them down instantly

that might have been vshojo, maybe he'll tell more later?

[earnest cove]

Ohohohohohohooooo that was Niijisanji

[boreal flower]

oooooh

[earnest cove]

he turned down the black rainbow

[boreal flower]

goddang so many nasty groups just trying to mooch off the indies DX

[gloomy forge]

Yeah true, but I feel content creation in general is generic. Maybe I'm not in the age group demographic anymore. Literally nothing interests me there.

I watch Lirik, and apart from one chatter out of 25k people nobody wants to hear about any drama. On the discord whenever they mention his name they just spam avenger gifs which is funny. Nobody really cares.

[gloomy forge]

i saw hilda raiding thor, that was nice.

[worthy ivy]

@grok how do I look in this?

[gritty tartan]

FAFO speedrun any%

[distant rapids]

I never understood talent agencies in the first place, yes vtuber models can be expensive but they're cheaper than like. One furry suit. So i was thinking the balance between vtuber and agency was always sus

[golden latch]

I just want the dance bot https://youtu.be/nQoM5kw4z1I

[boreal flower]

there's even software where you can make your own models inexpensively

like i made mine and my partner's with vroid studio

[earnest cove]

it's a lot of accounting and networking stuff

[late pond]

It depends. What is Elon's stance on vtubers? Because Grok is apparently hardcoded to never say or do anything contrary to his opinions.

[gloomy forge]

my model did cost me only 5 bucks to make it run, 0 for the model and 4.5 dollars for the cam.

[boreal flower]

also another vtuber's but he had to move before i could fully complete the work so his model is partially done

[forest glacier]

Shaye made a PNG tuber avatar for the stream on the stream.. lol

[terse pelican]

I have no idea about Elons opinion on VTubers, All I know is he likes money?

[earnest cove]

I tried to do commercial things and just failed miserably, so i understand why corpo looks easier

not easier. feasible

[gloomy forge]

vtubing is gigacheap, my thing runs on a potato.

[boreal flower]

and booth has tons of assets and outfits for free or inexpensive for vroid models

[gritty tartan]

Yeah, but what's tragic is that VShojo used to be seen as one of the good guys.

[gloomy forge]

and not only that, if you wanna spend 20 bucks you can just get hair and maybe a face and slap it on your model. you don't have to spend too much time making something unique. I did everythign myself but thats only because I'm a giganerd.

[boreal flower]

founded by a group of indies right?

how'd it go so wrong? smh

[golden latch]

Corporate does it again

[distant rapids]

But is it... really? Like that's what the agencies say but. I never see these vtubers in ads. I never see their posts. I only hear about them by word of mouth. I don't think the agencies actually do that much marketing at all and just.... pocket the money

[boreal flower]

.<

[terse pelican]

There has been VTuber ads on like Trucks, Busses ETC

and wassn't Mouse on a Billboard on Times Square?

[brittle jacinth]

its more they help finding people that you need like artist musician etc...

[forest glacier]

I mean wasnt Thor on the same billboard

[gritty tartan]

Isn't that was ad from Twitch?

[distant rapids]

[brittle jacinth]

yeah

[gloomy forge]

Not only that, training and therapy, your manager puts in some work. infrastructure is important too. the agency essentailly nurtures you.

[earnest cove]

The japanese ones have actual connections into the music industry. Suisei and Mori Calliope sang for anime opening/ending songs which is a huge deal

[gloomy forge]

I don't know how it is on the western side though.

[boreal flower]

heck enough fans raising money together can put an ad/image on a billboard in times square

[gloomy forge]

like niji en or hololive en.

I know that niji jp is bigger than holo because more girls watch them and they're more numerous. There is a big reason why a lot of fanartists are woman and not man as people usually asume.

[earnest cove]

Some of the holostar guys said they heard their cover playing in japanese clothing stores

[distant rapids]

Hmmm... alright. Admittedly, i dont know much about it, because uh... i dont know about any of them, really

[boreal flower]

like most i hear about on en side is just lots of collabs, RP in certain games with seasons, and merch based on those stories

[earnest cove]

So, some companies, really do go that far

[boreal flower]

dunno if they do more than that

[earnest cove]

the boys were trying to not nerd out hearing their voices playing lol

[gloomy forge]

holo is giga popular with men though but dunno the exact ratio. I know kojimbo loves some vtubers from holo.

probably would tier 3 sub to some of them

[brittle jacinth]

holo is more men orianted and niji is more female orianted

[terse pelican]

Speaking of Japanese VTuber music, Can't forget Marine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV-5W7SFHDc

[earnest cove]

yaaaaaaaa

[gloomy forge]

The toby fox song.

I still think ahoy carries but this one if great too, not only because of toby fox.

[earnest cove]

if you wanna know why some people choose the corpo life, here's the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD8oL4CRu64&pp=ygUMc3Vpc2VpIHN0b3J5

connections connections connections

for her, Cover Corp saved her career

[gloomy forge]

i heard that cover is in trouble when it comes to their gamedev department and they're struggling getting their game done. theres a lot of weird things behind the background. same with the whole a-chan thing. I know she came back as a vtuber .

To be honest niji would be more likeable if they would've fixed their abysmal en department and actually cared for infrastructure as much as the jp department. en livers are second class citizens. Its messed up.

at least cover has fun ideas.

[wind hare]

I never even knew this side of the Internet existed until a few months ago. I thought it was just a small group.

[earnest cove]

something is changing inside that's not great because they became publicly traded. So now they're stuck with Number Must Go Up. Yagoo (the founder) had to open it because the company was financially struggling........

[forest glacier]

So I guess.. what your really saying is.. Every time a company wants to "handle everything for you" theres always an underlying scheme..

[terse pelican]

Yeah seems that way

[forest glacier]

🤯

[gloomy forge]

I mean entertaining others and entertainment is full of tradeoffs, nothing new there. a lot of vtubers wanna also be idols in their own way. Theres a ton of hard work behind the scenes.

besides the whole make believe of "making it look easy"

[brittle jacinth]

but some people do like it more like this cuz they can just focus on streaming and doing small stuff here and there

[gloomy forge]

its also not really as different as Thor handles staff, taking care of the personal and keeping them happy also means they do better work.

corporations are under obligation to foster and nurture their talents. at least in japan.

[terse pelican]

I think the Work Culture is a part of the issue

[gloomy forge]

Even the smaller ones like Production Kawaii did this, but they overstaffed and worked on a netloss and they had to close down.

Eh, wanting to be someone is part of said working culture.

[winged knoll]

Japan has a strong idol culture foundation like Korea, Western isn’t tho

[gloomy forge]

becoming a star requires work and theres a lot of pressure.

[gloomy forge]

And in parts indonesia and china.

[earnest cove]

Gura left in the end. she couldn't take it

[gloomy forge]

poor gura.

[forest glacier]

it is MASSIVELY different, the generalization Im making is that when a corporation acts in such a way that they want to cover all the facets and become a "one stop shop" for anything; it always ends up being bad. schemes form. deception plays out. people get burned. Thor does not try to cover every aspect of their lives, he provides what was traditionally expected from full time employment. At least when run fairly.

[brittle jacinth]

in 12k $ people will have donated whats missing

[earnest cove]

https://tiltify.com/@ironmouse/ironmouse

they've hit 500k, the amount that vshoujo frauded

[gloomy forge]

Yeah I get what you mean, what you're describing is very cyberpunky. Not arguing whether or not they do this, but vtubing in general is very cyberpunk adjacent.

I have to say that a lot of these things I'm saying are the reason why people want to become vtubers. at least in the SEA region or asia in general.

Nice, well done.

[brittle jacinth]

its still funny that the commu donated 1 million with both fundraiser

[gloomy forge]

I dunno what westerners think about vtubing but I watched a handful from time to time, ironmouse included. I'd like to take dancing and singing lessons though seems fun.

What I really appreciate about ironmouse is that she is using vtubing to tell a story about progress and growth, you see it on herself reiterating her models.

being a character in your own show that others watch kinda deal, while also just a streamer. good vessel for storytelling.

[terse pelican]

Mouse is a perfect example of Growth, and the desire to become better and stronger

[gloomy forge]

Yeah she made this her story for others to relate to, exactly what I mean. The story is what she gives back to her audience.

[forest glacier]

I dont think theres a consistent answer to this across all "westerners" I feel like thats a really mixed bag

[gloomy forge]

Hope it makes sense what I'm saying here.

WHat version did Thor say Blockgame was now?

[brittle jacinth]

i think its 1.21.4

.

let me check to be sure

[gloomy forge]

Yeah I get what I mean, i worded myself badly there. western vtubing is vibrant and it does seem, judged from my narrow understanding, that nobody really has an idea about what vtubing is, because everyone has a different vision.

[forest glacier]

1.21.4

[gloomy forge]

[lyric venture]

Ah ok. So he needs to update the web page ;p

[forest glacier]

Technically tomorrow is the due date for that but yes

[brittle jacinth]

will the server be full??

whats the limit

[terse pelican]

Yup

[forest glacier]

who knows maybe it will blow up

[lyric venture]

LIkely yes, 100 person is the limit

[terse pelican]

100 IIRc

[gloomy forge]

blockgame does seem to be popular.

[forest glacier]

100 will be the initial limit until it blows up

[terse pelican]

Blockgamers are excited for it

[gloomy forge]

is there a forum about it?

[brittle jacinth]

it will blow up fast

[forest glacier]

Theres a role you can get for announcements and chat for it

[gloomy forge]

Ahhh I see so its discord driven too.

[shadow dawn]

Kanoda and Chnappi are vibrating in the distance

[winged knoll]

Do you think troll will participate in block games tho

Since most of them probably have minecraft installed

[brittle jacinth]

yeah

they will

you know how they can be

[forest glacier]

I wanted to join after the wipe but Im on a bit of a forced gaming abstinence, my hands have been hurting for weeks

[winged knoll]

[brittle jacinth]

i'll play to get away from the drama and relax

[gloomy forge]

I wonder if blockgame is fun, i only played two server sided mods ever.

[indigo wadi]

Im soooo tempted to play, but I dont wanna give mojang money

[shadow dawn]

Heck yeah, hope you get in early, gable

[balmy bone]

I wonder if Thor will find a way to prevent trolls from ruining bG

[terse pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-what-are-you-waiting-for-determined-angry-gif-5247874

[gloomy forge]

I like your principles.

[winged knoll]

Can we mod ticket them out of existence

[forest glacier]

Pretty sure the moderation system is hooked into blockgame.

[indigo wadi]

WHAT

[balmy bone]

there's so many trolls out there

[winged knoll]

I’d be worried about ddos

[brittle jacinth]

????

what

[lyric venture]

Weird, didn't know there was a limitation in Canada?

[brittle jacinth]

????

[winter sierra]

WHAT

[winged knoll]

Canadian eh

[balmy bone]

The hell? I bought minecraft a decades ago. I hope it still works

[brittle jacinth]

i'm able to play it why?

[winter sierra]

Maybe its the bedrock?

[balmy bone]

Also, hello fellow Cadman @indigo wadi

[gloomy forge]

canada became a marginalized country?

[brittle jacinth]

both are in the same pack for pc normaly

[indigo wadi]

hello!

[winter sierra]

i bought just java

[terse pelican]

I bought the game back when it was ONLY Java.

[winter sierra]

Yea same

[lyric venture]

Wait, theres a non java version? ;p

[terse pelican]

IIRC, I got given the Bedrock edition as a bonus at some point later

[forest glacier]

It was either 1.1 or 1.2 that I got my minecraft acct

[terse pelican]

Yes, It's called the Kids version.

[winter sierra]

I got mine 1.2 i think

[indigo wadi]

What does BG run on? Java or Bedrock?

[balmy bone]

Jaba

[winter sierra]

I was 7 (in 2012)

[balmy bone]

I stand by my typo

[brittle jacinth]

java

[terse pelican]

I bought it in 2014, Dunno what version it was

[brittle jacinth]

bedrock isn't a game for pc player

[terse pelican]

IIRC, Bedrock is the version for Phones/Ipads ETC

[forest glacier]

You were ?

[winter sierra]

Ya

[forest glacier]

dude then what happened?

[terse pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/so-old-gif-27277116

[winter sierra]

13 years ago

[gloomy forge]

bedrock is for consoles and android I think, java is just how the game always was based from since 2009 oldschool MC was fun too.

[indigo wadi]

Says bedrock is for windows

[forest glacier]

Bedrock is just mutilated Pocket Edition made to run on everything semi-shittily

[winter sierra]

Bedrock is mobile and windows

[gloomy forge]

I mean thor is pushing 40 i feel age doesn't really mean a lot. its cool that he made this community so young and older people can learn stuff. He cares a lot.

[terse pelican]

'' The biggest difference between the two is that Bedrock Edition runs on Windows 10/11, Console, Mobile, and VR, while Java Edition runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The two editions cannot crossplay, making Bedrock more flexible for multiplayer with different devices. ''

[indigo wadi]

for the record, this is the site that gives me that warning: https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/minecraft-java-and-bedrock-edition-microsoft?ref=networkn&tap_s=7495630-ca19cf

[winter sierra]

It matters less and less the older you are

[indigo wadi]

so am confused

[forest glacier]

I was pretty sure Bedrock was literally everything that isnt PC Java at this point

[terse pelican]

I'd probably use the main Minecraft website

[balmy bone]

I was an adult.... I was an adult. In 2012. I didn't want to be though. Still don't

[indigo wadi]

I guess make an account and go from there

[sand heath]

Age is just a number

[terse pelican]

Me too.

[indigo wadi]

So is a prison number

[gloomy forge]

another note, I watched RiverMakes/Shaye play OSRS for the first time and it was one of the most chillest content I've ever seen on twitch. kinda my vibe.

[earnest cove]

1 fish 20 girls being the surviving company

[vivid maple]

and he barely markets the company

[earnest cove]

they recently got some deal with hot topic i think?

[indigo wadi]

Can I play blockgame with free trial?

[terse pelican]

uh, Probably?

[balmy bone]

I don't understand why companies still do things and shoot themselves in the foot. Like. Have they tried.... not shooting themselves in the foot?

[brittle jacinth]

maybe?

[vivid maple]

oh yeah the hot topic stuff

[brittle jacinth]

you just need acess to server (multiplayer)

[terse pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/the-universe-tim-and-eric-mind-blown-mind-blown-meme-mind-explosion-mind-explosion-meme-gif-18002878

[earnest cove]

yeah it's so funny to see that they somehow become the sole survivor of western vtubing corpo

[brittle jacinth]

nah its too hard

[winter sierra]

In between 30 and 50 yea

[brittle jacinth]

they always drop the knife on the foot

[vivid maple]

im guessing its cause of the murder rabbit

[winter sierra]

But otherwise nooo

[gloomy forge]

turns out, just focusing on making stuff does work.

[indigo wadi]

30 day free trial 😏

[vivid maple]

i still need to get blockgame setup

[balmy bone]

have you tried buying it directly from minecraft.net? I don't get any issues

[indigo wadi]

I do not wish to give mojang money

[flint sinew]

https://tenor.com/view/peace-out-gif-3584473422170938815

[brittle jacinth]

you just need to download 1.21.4 version i think

[winged knoll]

https://youtube.com/shorts/3ZsjzN9HaGo?si=uncrLP9qMwZmuDPX

This is cool actually

[balmy bone]

that would be microsoft, not mojang, really

[winged knoll]

Gonna try it out tmr

[gloomy forge]

I thought its a serversided modpack based on MMOcore. just join the server and it works.

[vivid maple]

i got the launcher on gamepass

[indigo wadi]

Still mojang, don't care 😛

[brittle jacinth]

yeah same i have a version ready for tomorrow

[gloomy forge]

mojang? more like...mojank

huhuhu

[indigo wadi]

It's starting

[balmy bone]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[winged knoll]

Pog

Good luck tmr

[indigo wadi]

Is there a launch time?

[winged knoll]

Hello mod watcha doin

[gloomy forge]

I made my own skin in MC

[sand heath]

I mean, I'm 41... But also I wouldn't date someone more than 10 years younger than myself. And generally pass on anyone not 35 or older. Since usually there is a difference in maturity and where we are at in life...

[balmy bone]

a wild mod appears? everybody hide!

[vivid maple]

what do you have against mojang/microsoft

[hasty grail]

now play modded minecraft and lose yourself in the modpack that i know @strange emberplays

[terse pelican]

Too many Modpacks

[terse pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/ladies-and-gentleman-we-got-him-gif-12313683

[gloomy forge]

I am ready.

gave myself pink shoes and socks like a real chad.

[terse pelican]

Funny thing, I found a Duke Nuk'em skin that I threw a Suit on that I use

[vivid maple]

my launcher says its at 1.21.8

[balmy bone]

hell yeah. Chad's love pink shoes.

[brittle jacinth]

you can downgrade it

[winged knoll]

Pog

[gloomy forge]

doesn't the client scale down when you connect to the server. fetches all the requirements by itself.

[brittle jacinth]

here

[hasty grail]

because there are a lot of mod packs and other mods that people play on older versions,

who remembers beta 1.8.1?

[terse pelican]

I do

[hasty grail]

when hunger got introduced to minecraft?

[gloomy forge]

ahhhh yeah, thought it would be different with MMOCore but its just another mod.

[brittle jacinth]

dont think so when i tried to join i got a message of being in the wrong version

[gloomy forge]

Yeah I stand corrected

[vivid maple]

feels like yesterday that i saw that mod update

!blockgame

[dapper raven]

You can play our MMO built in Minecraft Java 1.21.4 here! https://blockgame.info You can also check out the community wiki here! https://blockgame.piratesoftware.wiki

[gloomy forge]

you block, you game

kinda cool that Thor build the dungeons and all by himself.

[terse pelican]

For sure is

[brittle jacinth]

i'm waiting to see if most/all of them can be done solo

[minor nymph]

Adding more to them right now lol

[vivid maple]

so im guessing its offline so he can update it?

[gloomy forge]

all the buildings and stuff, cute idea.

[gloomy forge]

Neat, keep at it. Love that shit. MC is the perfect framework for "make your own stuff"

[carmine sierra]

Thor over here like

[vivid maple]

btw thor i got blockgame set up to join whenever i can

[gloomy forge]

I remember the time in 2010 when I did help out building a world for a server.

[balmy bone]

It's pretty awesome stuff watching you work.

[terse pelican]

The Skin I use

[gloomy forge]

mr anderson

[terse pelican]

Duke in a Suit

[gloomy forge]

hail to the king baby.

[lyric venture]

I think Thor needs to add a dungeon with a bunch of Nina's

[gloomy forge]

https://tenor.com/view/clueless-aware-twitch-forsen-emote-gif-25354609

[brittle jacinth]

me that will be in the basic "steve" skin

[terse pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/horror-disgust-ohno-jimcarrey-liarliar-gif-12183274

[lyric venture]

And their weapon is just saying Ed...Ward ;p

[hasty grail]

looks at the few hundred modpacks over the years

[terse pelican]

Would be cool if there was a way to submit Buildings to the Blockgame server

[gloomy forge]

I'd love that.

[indigo wadi]

okay, someone tell me how to do this

[terse pelican]

Which part?

[indigo wadi]

where do i go for server info and such

[terse pelican]

Start the actual game

[lyric venture]

Yeah you have to be running the game to enter a server

and I dont think it will save in your list till it connects (which won't be till tomorrow)

[brittle jacinth]

installation and make a new installation of the version 1.21.4

[wind raven]

love that this game is written in java

[indigo wadi]

How do i do that?

[wind raven]

as a Java dev

[lyric venture]

Oh yes you need to go to Installations at the top and go to 1.21.4

[brittle jacinth]

in the installation onglet at the top theres a way to make a new installation

[jolly sky]

Time to kick ass and punch blocks, and I'm all out of blocks

[vivid maple]

this is my skin

[gloomy forge]

I got balls of badrock

[terse pelican]

Always nice to see everyones unique skin

[indigo wadi]

Like this?

[gloomy forge]

Ohhhh nice.

[terse pelican]

yes

[gloomy forge]

love the skins.

[indigo wadi]

Now where do I enter the server info?

oh wait

i think i got it

[vivid maple]

idk if i can play java cause of it being mouse and keyboard

[brittle jacinth]

multiplayer and add server

[gloomy forge]

nice I was about to post screenshots and explain.

[indigo wadi]

this right?

[brittle jacinth]

yes

[vivid maple]

im guessing it works on bedrock too?

[brittle jacinth]

you can use a controller if you connect one

[indigo wadi]

OMG DEAD GAME

[forest glacier]

no

[gloomy forge]

only java.

[vivid maple]

yeah i have my controller hooked up and it isnt registering

[indigo wadi]

HMMMMMMMM

[terse pelican]

I bet it's Jake

[gloomy forge]

Hmmge

[brittle jacinth]

wonder who's the anonymous player

[indigo wadi]

That piratesoftware is sus

[brittle jacinth]

hhhmmmmm

[gloomy forge]

the hacker known as 4chan

[subtle gate]

why is he anonymous?

[winged knoll]

He’s a pirate

[brittle jacinth]

there's an anonymous mode in the settings i think and he toggle it on

[winged knoll]

[subtle gate]

oh ok

[brittle jacinth]

or he's name like this

[winged knoll]

[subtle gate]

[terse pelican]

I think that's actually just Beans.

[gloomy forge]

Yeah he has to inplement the things he works on while being on the server, theres in game editor tools.

[vivid maple]

so how do i get java to recognize my controller

[terse pelican]

Uh

[lyric venture]

My non helpful answer would be to not use a controller ;p

Beyond that, which type of controller?

[vivid maple]

cause it doesnt detect it by default

xbox elite series 2 controller

[lyric venture]

My guess is you would need to have a mod that works with it?

[vivid maple]

all my other games detect it

[gloomy forge]

it should be pnp, so it should work out of the box without any other requirements.

[terse pelican]

Don't think Java has native controller support

[brittle jacinth]

normally it should detect it by default no?

[lyric venture]

https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/controllable I dont pretend to support this but this was the top Google search

[gloomy forge]

ohh it doesn't have controller support, needs to be modded in.

which is easy.

[lyric venture]

Also implies that the analog movement is disabled due to anti-cheat plugins

[forest glacier]

IF the server allows it

[terse pelican]

Would the Anti-Cheat on the server flag it?

[lyric venture]

So yeah it appears that its "Use at your own risk" type situation

[terse pelican]

It's worth asking Jake or Thor tomorrow

[gloomy forge]

weird that java doesn't have any controller support

[terse pelican]

Java's weird overall so...

[forest glacier]

If you use non-whitelisted mods I think it just kicks you out and says you cant use those on the server

[vivid maple]

in order to use that mod i need curseforge

[idle hill]

I used Joy2Key to play MC with a controller back in the day, had to manually bind all the keys. Glad there's a mod for that now

[gloomy forge]

minecrafts design philosophy is weird, not just java.

[idle hill]

you need Forge, not curseforge

(or fabric whichever the loader is)

[terse pelican]

Oh god, I remember doing that on a super cheap ass Controller with Turbo buttons

[gloomy forge]

forge is kinda depricated, I think most modern mods use fabric now.

[idle hill]

I'm actually playing with Forge right now, 1.20.1, a healthy 350 mods

[terse pelican]

pretty sure a bunch of the 'older' modpacks still sit on Forge

cause porting them to Fabric would be a giga PITA

[idle hill]

pretty sure there's versions for the more modern version

[gloomy forge]

dunno what versions are decided to have LTS.

[idle hill]

There's a mod to make Fabric mods play on Forge, but not the other way around

which is why I switched

[forest glacier]

me when all the mods I use have been abandoned for almost a decade

[gloomy forge]

its usually decided what version is the next ATM I feel.

[terse pelican]

Did you pick your mods yourself, or was it a pre-made modpack?

[gloomy forge]

the minecraft versions kinda overcomplicate everything. whenever there is a new version, you have to wait for the mod to be updated.

[idle hill]

"Immersive Engineering" and "Butchery" are both Forge-only mods

[idle hill]

I picked them all

[gloomy forge]

Yeah true.

its easy, java is stable enough to run mods you pick at random, no need to check compatibilities between most mods.

[earnest mirage]

what about AE2?

[gloomy forge]

its like with terraria.

[idle hill]

ew

no ae2

[gloomy forge]

I usually use fabric.

[terse pelican]

I'm too lazy to pick out what mods I want, cause I'd just end up wanting them all, spending hours downloading, Then it just not working and having to ''debug'' it

[idle hill]

as for whether it's forge or fabric, I dont know for current versions

[gloomy forge]

Had like...220 mods running? was fine but looking for mods was more fun than playing the game (the skyrim problem).

why play the actual game when you can mod

[brisk sparrow]

theres so many new (and honestly better) storage mods than ae2 nowadays imo.

[terse pelican]

I was also kinda into FTB Modpacks

[gloomy forge]

its like building your own car but never driving it. the blight of every modder

[terse pelican]

The Skyrim Experience.

[gloomy forge]

story of my life man

[terse pelican]

20-30+ hours just picking, downloading and installing mods, 20 minutes of actual gameplay.

[earnest mirage]

last pack i played was infinity evolved and the skyblock version of it and this was for 1.7.10, so 11 years ago or so. Sorry if i don't know all new mods 😄

[brisk sparrow]

ah yea, thats a lot different

1.7 was the era of stupid high tech mods

[idle hill]

I think I've got 12 or so hours building the pack, ~20 hours playing it so far
it feels great, but it runs at 30fps

[gloomy forge]

[forest glacier]

Well hello there

[terse pelican]

I honestly miss Realistic Water physics in Minecraft

[idle hill]

I never played with them and I really dont wanna try em

[forest glacier]

Tekkit and Technic packs!! I spent extensive time on both

[brisk sparrow]

what the thor doin

[gloomy forge]

thats not a ferret nor a quoll.

[forest glacier]

horsin around

[gloomy forge]

oh shit, teaser that hes gonna play that horse game (i want to believe)

[idle hill]

ATLauncher

[brisk sparrow]

back when forge was... better (it was never really good lets be honest)

[gloomy forge]

isn't ATL discontinued

[idle hill]

man if I showed yall my modlist yall would probably have a heart attack
probably say things like "These things are incompatible how tf did you make it work"

[lunar lodge]

tekkit was the best then they did a different launcher which had like some sort of fantasy mod pack and ionno what else was pretty cool

[idle hill]

It still works

[lunar lodge]

with like class systems and magic systems and MMO elements

[idle hill]

idk if its discontinued but its still used prominently

[shadow dawn]

Sheer determination on your side i assume

[brisk sparrow]

looks like the last news post on the atlauncher site was in november of 24

[indigo wadi]

So launch time for Blockgame is when you stream tonight ya?

[gloomy forge]

Yeah its all trial and error.

[forest glacier]

Tekkit became a whole mod pack sharing infrastructure I thought, at least thats what it seemed to target. Dont know if it ever made it there but I had a couple packs from Tekkit

[brisk sparrow]

but they also dont update it often anyways

[idle hill]

I remember playing Tinkers with Optifine, it was known for crashing on people BUT I MADE IT WORK by SHEER F***ING WILL

[gloomy forge]

just put a bandaid on the game

[idle hill]

shared the pack with someone online
response I got was "Bro it doesnt even run"

[brisk sparrow]

and the ATlaucnher github release was on june 20th

so its still active

[gloomy forge]

hoping for the game that is doesn't crash is part of the fun

[brisk sparrow]

me staring at cyberpunk

[gloomy forge]

exactly

[brittle jacinth]

no thats the fun part

[brisk sparrow]

i cant go one mission without needing to restart the game because the graphics go glossy, or the game straight crashing

[gloomy forge]

I replaced all the cart with modded cars in the game.

[brisk sparrow]

ive really only got cosmetic/performance mods as well

[idle hill]

in my current pack I have HTC Treechop and Dynamic Trees at the same time
Dynamic Trees handles the trees it's compatible with, HTC covers everything else
it works surprisingly well actually

[lyric venture]

I may try it out assuming I can get on after work tomorrow or at some point.

[brisk sparrow]

though the game has always kinda ran bad for me

[brisk sparrow]

didnt expect these 2 to work so well together

though it makes sense

[gloomy forge]

modding is fun

[brisk sparrow]

htc for those that arent dynamic tree compatible

[gloomy forge]

Yeah of course, you need to tweak the modding settings and finetune.

[idle hill]

What's even more fun is having Immersive Engineering, Create, and Tinkers' Construct all in the same pack

[subtle gate]

brother and father be running Tinkers and some mod to put boats throughout the overworld

[brisk sparrow]

also keybinds

the curse of modding is keybind conflict

[forest glacier]

not NEI conflicting with Flan's

[idle hill]

Always handle that before making your first world
You'll get a feel for what keybinds you use and what you need as you play

[brisk sparrow]

me having to unbind like 6 things that I know ill never use just so i can set a waypoint easily

[gloomy forge]

Kinda agree, i played terraria with some few hundred mods and most required to have keybinds. decided to not keybind at all and just rolled with them

disregard keybinds aquire bugreport

[idle hill]

downloads hundreds of terraria mods
only uses keybinds for one of them
gaeming

[gloomy forge]

we're kindred spirits.

[robust galleon]

All mods that use the b key are kinda funny to me when I watch Minecraft tubers go through the mods list so they can use the backpack mod they're playing with at the time.

[gloomy forge]

100 hours spent modding 15 minutet spend playing, absolute peak.

[idle hill]

"B" is for backpack, DO NOT TOUCH MY BACKPACK KEY

[subtle gate]

oh yea the back pack mods are probably very many

[winged knoll]

B is for 🅱️hor

[forest glacier]

back in my day we selected the backpack on the hotbar and right clicked

[idle hill]

I still do that

[gloomy forge]

🅱️oblin

[robust galleon]

I've seen packs that have 3 different backpack mods and all of them bound to b, along with 5 or 50 other mods.

[jolly sky]

(My cat)

[forest glacier]

modpack-shitposting

[idle hill]

I carry several backpacks, B for main backpack, 7 for mob drops, 9 for stone/wood

HOTKEYS NOT QUANTITIES

I dont carry 17 backpacks

[robust galleon]

That sounds like you are ready to play GTNH.

[indigo wadi]

IT'S HAPPENING

[earnest mirage]

remember the true curse of the item ID mechanic from the past and was it managed by forge or minecraft itself?
i remember you had to add mod after mod and check for ID conflicts and change it in the config of the mod.

[brisk sparrow]

oh god

[forest glacier]

yea thats just weird. I will take my classic mod that doesnt have hotkeys and allows me to infinitely nest the backpacks

[brisk sparrow]

i had to get a mod that extended the item IDs at one point because of the like 6 or 7 decoration mods that my friend group added

[gloomy forge]

honse

[idle hill]

Gregtech New Horizons, right?
Never played it, never had an interest in tech mods

only tech I'll accept is Immersive Engineering and Create

[robust galleon]

Yes, Greg tech

[earnest mirage]

i really don't want to know how much time it took them to just fix all the ID conflicts when they made the really old modpacks (was up to 1.4.7 or something around that).
iirc. you have to start the game and it breaks on the first ID conflict. So if a new mod has 10 conflicts, you have to start the game 10 times and change one ID at a time xD

im sure there were methods of auto detecting which mods were in an IDs already in use

[forest glacier]

2 year old SS of my backpack in Minecraft... because I can. Used to carry 2 of them and mine out cave systems for days

[brisk sparrow]

oh i remember one of my friends putting a bag of holding with items in it inside our ME system once

we couldnt take it out without crashing

[idle hill]

I prefer the Adventurer's/Traveler's backpacks atm

[kindred sedge]

I wonder now that we have the glasses in game if anyone has made a warlock with his in game appearance

[idle hill]

tool slots, tanks, furnace/crafting table upgrades, etc

[forest glacier]

LOL this mod didnt have a name. its just "backpack mod"

[brisk sparrow]

my favorite map mod thats not very popular is antique atlas

[idle hill]

yeahh, I've used it before. it's not bad :P

[split tulip]

you're lucky it didn't collapse space time itself

[idle hill]

I had to remove that one from Fear Nightfall because I had too many maps and it crashed my game repeatedly

[forest glacier]

Man all this nostalgia. Bringing me back to old Thor days.... let me grab an even older SS

[idle hill]

and no I'm not carrying 15 atlas books

[brisk sparrow]

ive never had to carry more than one

[forest glacier]

StreamAvatars!!!

[idle hill]

I'm an explorer, I search in a thousand-chunk radius for structures and biomes

now this is proper minecraft

[robust galleon]

I'm currently watching two different Minecraft tubers play the hardest version of Greg tech called Garden of Grind. It's a Skyblock version where you have to jump into void multiple times to get dirt blocks.

[gloomy forge]

american minecraft lets go.

I played minecraft for the first time when it was playable on browser. It didnt even have zombies or creepers back then.

Or lava. One version after that came out with lava, or maybe a few versions, i dont remember

[golden latch]

Back when it was streaming the game not distributing so it was allowed (at the time)

[distant rapids]

Tbf notch was the one who actually uploaded it, so it was fully his own descision

He did take it down eventually, but that was when it was starting to get enough traction. I bought minecraft java for 10 dollars

[golden latch]

Yep back in the alpha days

I also bought it cheap still have my account

i saw this on the r/mcdonalds subreddit

[brittle jacinth]

how much is this in term of purchases made

[warm trench]

Google says 100:1 ratio of points to dollars, so 104 dollars at McD's.. about 4 dinners.

woops - math sucks... 1042 dollars, about 40 dinners.

If 1000 dollars was spend on food prepped dinners, you would get roughly 80-100 dinners.

[spark temple]

holy moly

[warm trench]

Fast food works if 1) Taste today does not matter 2) I don't have the skills to cook my own food 3) I don't have time to cook my own food or 4) Lazy

[spark temple]

a lot of fast food places are really good

but a band on mcdonalds is crazy

[worthy ivy]

never really got the draw of the mcDo

pretty decent cup of coffee at a pretty decent price I'll give them that
and am a sucker for a cheap-ass double cheeseburger or two 🙂

but other than that is pretty sub-par even here in UK and I've been told ours is amazing compared to the US

[spark temple]

its just cheap food

its fallen off pretty hard though

they used to be like dirt cheap but now its comprable to some actually nice fast food places

[forest glacier]

I dont eat anywhere but at home, or from home. Please do express how much you feel like im missing so I can increase how much I do not care 😄

[worthy ivy]

these days you can build your own burger with fresh mince and some pricey cheese and it's cheaper than a fastfood joint - not much point going out for it if you can make it better yourself

and Cones makes a mean burger

[spark temple]

i dont really eat fast food burgers

[nova bough]

most stuff from a restaurant you can make at home, for cheaper and usually better for you.

[forest glacier]

this

[spark temple]

yeah but youre saving a lot of labor lol

plus a lot of it just really good

[nova bough]

it depends. my orange chicken knockoff is very low effort

[spark temple]

yeah i think like

the only fast food worth it is fried stuff

especially wings

wings are such a pain in the neck to make and wingstop will bang them out in like 10 minutes for you lol

[nova bough]

get you an air fryer. my favorite wings are ones i make at home.

[spark temple]

nah i HATE my airfryer

[nova bough]

lol

[spark temple]

i bought into it and got the ninja two section one

idk the food just tastes stale

its alright for fries though

[nova bough]

weird

[worthy ivy]

as long as it's seen an orange it'll slap compared to most places in the UK - don't know if it's my taste that's changed, but I'd swear the takeaway/fastfood was loads better in the 90s

my brain tells me that can't be the case, but my heart says "you know this to be true"

can't put my finger on it

[forest glacier]

Did you do the initial burn off? the manul should say to run the air fryer at max temp for some time to cook off manufacturing oils and stuff

[spark temple]

i really dont wanna like generalize but if UK chinese is anything like ive seen online then ill be praying for you tonight

[spark temple]

yeah ive had it for like four years

[nova bough]

i dont eat fast food much anymore. unless im specifically craving that thing the way they make it. it costs too much for what it is - especially for a few bucks more i could go to a sit down restaurant and have a much better meal.

or make it myself for much cheaper.

[worthy ivy]

then again, came up in a small(ish) village, so would have been more "independent"s and less chains about?

wouldn't chance it these days, make my own - chinese is easy enough, you can get away with doing it all in the one pan if you're wok'ing it up

[nova bough]

also McDonald's is trash

[spark temple]

yeah mcdonalds is shit

idk how someone can spend a grand there

wingstop and canes though ...

[nova bough]

i like my wings better than wingstop, and canes trips my food intolerances

[worthy ivy]

tbh I've probably spent £1000 on coffee at mcdonalds over the years - they've been 24hr here and there since basically forever in the UK so an absolute lifesaver if you're driving about and it's late and that

[forest glacier]

idk about Ninja, ive have other cheap air fryers. I find I just like food better when its slow cooked. So I did science with the machine and figured out how to cook fish and chicken in an air fryer, the slow way.

[nova bough]

i have a coffee grinder and maker. i save so much on coffee lol

[spark temple]

on just coffee is reasonable but

if they have the points app that means theyve been doing online orders

and i doubt its all that for just some coffee every now and then

[spark temple]

the wingstop ranch is so good bruh

i would buy a bottle if i could

[nova bough]

allllso trips my food intolerances. cant have ranch.

[spark temple]

thats tragic

youre missing out

[nova bough]

it truely is, cause i love ranch

[spark temple]

canes sauce is also really good but that ones super easy to make at home

i love their texas toast though

[worthy ivy]

nah, they'll have been piling in the double cheeseburgers - they has all the four main foodgroups:
meat, cheese, grease and ketchup
everything the body needs

[nova bough]

i actually never figured out which part of canes messes me up. im assuming its the batter for their chicken, tho.

[spark temple]

it might be buttermilk

[nova bough]

ooo i bet

[spark temple]

wingstop most likely uses buttermilk in their ranch

and any self respecting fast food chain has buttermilk in their batter

[nova bough]

yeah

[forest glacier]

and THIS is why everything I eat is made by me or someone I know. To be real, I dont feel like Im missing out at all. Lately I been getting trust issues.. sound of crinkling foil

[nova bough]

as someone with IBS, i 110% understand it.

if i make it, or a friend makes it, i know exactly whats in it

once i embraced what you just typed (during covid, funnily enough) i had way less issues.

[forest glacier]

got those hella nope ingredients on a mental checklist

[brittle brook]

Canes chicken itself is just mid.

Canes sauce, that's good, but the chicken, sides, etc, all mid.

[nova bough]

ibs is actually the reason i wfh. life is so much easier making everything from home.

well, at least through the end of the month. they review all ADA accommodations once a year. i have a meeting tomorrow to go over my drs note with HR 🙃

[forest glacier]

TBH stuff always tasted better when you cook it yourself and its a shame people manage to get through childhood without experiencing that. My middle school taught me that. Thank the stars.

[indigo wadi]

I'm 100% teaching my son to cook

[nova bough]

my parents didnt teach me, but my childhood was abnormal

"learned" in college. but its mostly just googling something i want to eat and finding a recipe, then follow that

[indigo wadi]

Best way to learn sometimes

[forest glacier]

I remember when I was still in elementary school my grandparents taught me how to microwave a potato without exploding it. Many potate was eaten

[opaque raven]

Learning how to cook is the best salary raise you can give to yourself

[forest glacier]

after potato it was scrambled egg.

[spark temple]

the fries and the toast are both good

the chicken is mid but not bad

[brittle brook]

nah, their fries are mid

like none of the food is bad, but everything besides Canes Sauce is overrated

[forest glacier]

after various other microwavables cooking class started and school taught me to make grilled cheese and pancakes

Im so autistic lol. After I learned to make grilled cheese I went home and made everyone a grilled cheese and then some. I think I made 10 grilled cheese... because I was makin them at night

[jolly sky]

I have a friend who has a form of IBS. It's bad enough that he is on experimental injections that are like, £300 a jab (covered by NHS)

[nova bough]

oof, mine isnt that bad. if im careful, i can be normal

i didnt even know there were injections. what i was told is basically find my triggers as much as i can, and just...dont eat those.

my parents however, are probably that bad. but they live in the middle of nowhere, so they're not getting any experimental injections.

[forest glacier]

...havent had cows milk in like....8 years

[jolly sky]

IIRC these injections are a once a month thing, administered by a nurse

[nova bough]

my milk intolerance is just a basic lactose intolerance, not really ibs. so i can take generic lactaid and eat dairy. i still avoid milk in general, though.

[jolly sky]

My mother went through a strange time for about a year or so when she couldn't drink cows milk and was on goats milk instead, but it cleared up all on its own and now she's fine?

Human body be weird

[nova bough]

its super weird.

i had my ibs basically in remission until February this year...when i got food poisoning. and now its back

[forest glacier]

Ive heard there can be enzyme disbalances that need time to recover by abstaining from whatever it is. but also, im fairly certain mine are environmentally induced

[golden latch]

weird thing for me is raw milk i have no problems with but the processed stuff gives me terrible lactose intolerance symptoms

[earnest cove]

i... i can't have raw milk or even raw milk cheese. I'll get a severe stomach upset 😦

[forest glacier]

Oh 100% I have majorly different reactions to even different brands of the same type of milk... but Im not putting myself through testing that to find something that will probably dissapear as soon as I find it

[earnest cove]

What I'm fine the most, strangely enough, is powdered milk (dehydrated milk)

[golden latch]

i am a milk person i can drink about a gallon a day of the raw but i can barely take half a gallon before the stomach pain and nausea is to much

[earnest cove]

half a gallon of pasturised?

[golden latch]

yes

[earnest cove]

ah ok because context missing there

[nova bough]

as a kid i was a milk person. i developed lactose intolerance when i was 22

[golden latch]

i think its part of the denaturing that takes place that it makes my gut bacteria go crazy and process it to fast and makes me feel bad

[brittle brook]

guy I used to work with would always phrase his lactose issues as "I'm not just lactose intolerant... I'm lactose hate-crime..."

[earnest cove]

A little update about the ironmouse situation:

[golden latch]

i thought i had developed lactose intolerance when i grew up untill i had raw it was wild

[golden latch]

great to see

[earnest cove]

yeah the sheer power of outrage against a crime pushed people to throw more money directly to charity than the ones stolen

[forest glacier]

I developed issues with milk around the same time I started discovering mold issues that even moving house cant seem to get me away from, mostly because the people im with are..... ignorant for lack of better words.

[earnest cove]

also this is a funny one

[brittle jacinth]

600k

[nova bough]

i was living with my cousin while i was working at an internship. one day, my body just went NOPE

and decided it hated milk/lactose

then sometime after that, my IBS went into full swing too

i got life DLC earlier than most :(

[late bane]

[forest glacier]

up until I was 19 I had infinite energy and felt invincible and then just suddenly one day a human sized fly swatter came down on me out of nowhere

I did a foolish thing trying to watch a thor related video by some lawyer and now I'm just upsetty spaghetti, looking forward to blockgame tomorrow success or train wreck it should be a hoot

[nova bough]

...is it that one "lawyer" thats nlt really a lawyer?

[late bane]

No clue tbh

[nova bough]

legal mindset i think?

[late bane]

But he ignored alot of facts and its like... of course

[late bane]

Ye was watching his thing on the iornmouse

[nova bough]

i googled him, apparently he is a licensed attorney, but like

his content isnt really good. hes a drama farmer

[late bane]

Just because your a expert in A doesn't mean your smart in H

[earnest cove]

He's a praciticing lawyer based in Asia, mostly in Thailand

[nova bough]

i think the only lawyer i watch yt vids of is legal eagle

but he mostly covers political stuff

[earnest cove]

I watched the vid on thor too. It may be painful but imo it's important to know how people can perceive an action

the same accusations on Thor had also been levied against Ironmouse at some point

[nova bough]

i watched for awhile, but like...its been months. i dont care that much about drama

people be milking it so hard

[earnest cove]

I mainly watch the vtuber company implosions and their bad contracts. i don't want to end up in a bad/vague/no contract ever again

[late bane]

Think he ref'd human on animal and i was like oh we're acting 5 cool

Why be good when treating others with hatred pays so well

[nova bough]

hatred is a powerful emotion. social media is really good at farming it

[late bane]

Anyways this cheerd me up so maybe you guys will laugh too

[earnest cove]

well.... i had my first therapy session today and that thinking is one of the contaminated thoughts that needed addressing

[late bane]

I've debated going to therapy but me and my twin were born as psychopaths so idk what ill get out of it, im still working on empathy

[earnest cove]

that's part of a good therapist's job

[distant rapids]

Being good is its own reward, but the evil don't get that reward. Physically and spritually. I believe we'll be held accountanle for what we did and said in this life and its so important to me to be a net positive... even thoigh i am human and someone deserves a smackdown now and then i just hope that eventually, a smackdown actually wakes someone up, but ya know. That requires wisdom on their part...

[late bane]

Honestly listening to Thor talk about how he loves his ferrets kinda helps

[distant rapids]

Absolutely. And i look at him and just how much love he has for these little nippers and think, how could anyone think he was ever evil about this? Its crazy to me.

Like, his entire face and body language changes when he holds a ferret. It's the exact same change i see in new fathers holding their newborns.

[earnest cove]

Thought experiment: if hatred is always more logically profitable, then would the most logical thing is to succumb to hatred?

[late bane]

Rather make someone laugh then seeth

[lyric venture]

This is assuming there is no other "cost" associated with hate, which I argue there is.

[earnest cove]

Then the answer to that is being kind is personally more profitable for you than hatred

[late bane]

My only goal with TTs is to get a gut laugh from him

I will successd someday

I made YouTube shorts so thats something

[distant rapids]

It's " logical" to succumb to hatred, but then, physically, society collapses. We're literally built on altruism. If we succumb to hatred we destroy ourselves- that's the real, but hidden price

[earnest cove]

Like losing social trust, strained relationships and stuff?

[earnest cove]

In some parts of the world, society used to be tiny because people kept killing each other. they didn't grow until the killing stopped.

[rose echo]

Hate isn't an emotion in of itself. It's a compounded bundle of anger and fear, with a social aspect. Anger and fear, while "negative emotions", are not bad things to have and are there for good reasons. It's just a matter of understanding these things and using them healthily. Which, admittedly, can be very difficult, especially in today's world. But it's the direction we need to strive to go in.

[distant rapids]

Not only that, but foreign relations between all countries. Relationships within countries. When you live in your home, you don't train to defend it. You don't have trained guards with loyalty... and in a hate-succumbed society there is no safety. There's no food production because it gets stolen. There's no money because no one agrees on how much goods are worth. Its an extensive collapse

[late bane]

Hate is easy

[subtle gate]

I love destroying myself but keep the others alive

[late bane]

Forgiveness is a bi*ch to learn

I dont know if this is the right response but my current coping mechanism is that they aren't doing it to be mean, they are just too stupid to know any better like a kid

[earnest cove]

they probably have more serious issues in real life

[golden latch]

i agree with the assume ignorance rather then malice and it really improved life for me

[earnest cove]

there were a few times i've seen when haters (of other online incidents) got a bit of a talk, and oftentimes when it became awkward for them they would open up that life sucked for them. One had a hospitalised mother. Another just general bad place in life.

so the really unhinged ones I think "they probably have a really crappy real life"

[split tulip]

It's escapism. Joining in the hate mob against "the villain" helps you not think about your IRL problems and give you group to join

you get the be "the righteous" taking on "evil '

[late bane]

The irony of all of this was how online bullying caused a serious event to occur then not even a day after they jump on thor and its like... we have so much to learn yet

[distant rapids]

Unfortunately, they just don't have the introspection skills to realize that. We humans are really good at ignoring our problems unless we decide to face them head on and change.

[late bane]

Oh I have a odd topic that Thor talked about yesterday, about the credit cards making steam remove games with xxx

Apparently Japan is bringing legal matters to it

HUGE VICTORY

The fact Japan issued sanctions against Payment Processers for Anti-Trust law Violations showcases how all the "Collective Shout" drama has escalated greatly.

This is why we need to continue speaking up

QRT: RamblingsNerd
In related news, just in: it looks like Japan's FTC has issued sanctions against VISA on suspicions of anti-trust law violations, especially notable given it was previously let off the hook in July 2024.

Seems like CS' victory lap is premature.

The Japan Fair Trade Commission has applied administrative measures under the Antimonopoly Act, including the commitment procedure, to Visa on suspicion of violating the Act.

[distant rapids]

Ironically, it isnt even steam that needs that. Nintendo store is an utter cesspool. Theyre attacking the wrong source

[earnest cove]

yep yep

they were slapped with antitrust laws in japan

[earnest cove]

the disgusting thing is that the source was traced to Australia

[distant rapids]

Ohhhh antimonopoly laws, spicyyyy

[earnest cove]

And those bunch of Australian feminists don't even practice what they teach. people discovered dirty stuff

[subtle gate]

should attack EA

[late bane]

Should be interesting to watch play out

[distant rapids]

Excuse me as a feminist, they aint no feminist. We believe in true equality, not virtue signaling and revenge.

[late bane]

[earnest cove]

It's the corrupted spawns

oh you mean like the owner defending cuties?

[distant rapids]

Aye. And that's why I'm a.moderate thank you for coming to my ted talk

[earnest cove]

The implications are that yes

Wow defending cuties?

very bad

[late bane]

Nooot touching that one

[distant rapids]

Seriously, though, china has some fingers deep in some australian businesses and trade. I'm wondering if its something deeper. Antitrust directly hurts the ccp

[late bane]

They were buying land in the us as well and its like why is that allowed but I feel we're on the line here

[earnest cove]

Probably another shell """"activist""""" organization, that's why the whole removing the steam games debacle was very suspicious

[late bane]

At anyrate I hope to see more fights against payment processing

[distant rapids]

Well if i were ccp, that's exactly what i would do. Red herring the american and australian activists and operate directly under their noses

[earnest cove]

Either way now Japan laws and politicians are getting involved in those payment processors.
