[golden rapids]

I don't know if you've seen it in the US, but here in Germany is a stranded whale currently and a lot of idiots are exploiting it for fews. And some of them grouped together and started to convince people that you've to sing into your kitchen fosset to help save it. Stupidity these days clearly is measured in negative Kelvin. It defies physics and reality itself.

pretty obvious to me that PETA exists only to give sensible animal rights activists a bad name - I haven't checked but I'd guess some names from COINTELPRO are involved at one level or another

tis from that mewgenics clip

[azure knoll]

I'm getting kind of emo for a second because it's obviously a subject that's extremely important to me, being in that it's my entire life, but with things like animal rescue and vetmed you can't crash out and take a break to recoup, you can have a 5 minute bestie break down over stuff but then you have to move on because there is always stuff to do and always animals to take care of, 99% of the time you have to put stuff away in a mental box for later and you don't really have a chance to process the things you see / do / experience / etc in a way that's psychologically productive

[silent compass]

You go have a cry in the corner while you measure out meds and then get back too it

[azure knoll]

Pretty much

[arctic needle]

You are so strong and awesome Shaye

[quick rapids]

oh, my nibling's mum used to cry in the supply closet on occasion when working in A&E (UK ER)

[random ore]

Yeah cry for a minute, then continue crying/hurting inside while doing things necessary to keep it all going.

[rapid scarab]

the best ferret mom

[azure knoll]

Which is why like, when i say there's drama in the rescue scene it's half hearted because it's just a lot of good people with a lot of big big feelings that haven't been appropriately addressed and it leaks out in weird ways sometimes

[quick rapids]

makes sense

[azure knoll]

Along with just the general nature of the internet etc humans weren't meant to have such unrestricted access to each other at all times the way we do now

[rapid scarab]

yeh, it is normal to happen from time to time

[craggy flame]

unfortunate stuff happens when people are under extreme stress, yup

[golden rapids]

Well that isn't the issue. The monetisatin of attention is. That sets a lot of incentives for emotionally manipulative and ragebaity content. Nuanced and neutral doesn't get engagement and clicks. So that content goes under and the shitty one surfaces and stirrs up even more emotions and "reactions"....

[golden rapids]

I vaguely recall that one study where they introduced monkeys to the concept of money and they canceled the experiment because of etics reasons and ened it with a phrase like "money corrupts any social creature"

[earnest cove]

i do agree that internet wise (or maybe even offline for some people) that this becomes the way to communicate and it sucks

[craggy flame]

yup, internet drama => clicks => ad rev

i would like to uninvent the internet (/hj)

[golden rapids]

I'd like to uninvent monetisation...

[earnest cove]

But we depend on monetisation for the rescue too

[golden latch]

I think uninventing ads would help a bunch

[craggy flame]

it's not as simple as "ads = bad" either, thats the issue

[golden rapids]

The internet is great. It was even better when way less companies and "just in for the money"-people were there...

[golden rapids]

I said monetisation. That goes far beyond just ads.

[thick ledge]

well without monetization the ferret rescue wouldnt be possible

[golden latch]

I was much more willing to part with my money when the thing that i used didnt have ads bombarding me

[earnest cove]

people should also be fairly compensated for their time. we ain't gonna go 'paid in exposure'

a lot of problems we see today come from the mentality of number can only go up which is not the same as paying someone fairly for their time and effort

[azure knoll]

I won't get into the monetization aspect of it because that's an entirely seperate thing in and of itself, but it's been that way for a long long time, sensationalism has existed for as long as we have

[golden rapids]

Well you can't have your cake and eat it too. But a lot of things would be better without any and all monetisation on the web...

[earnest cove]

Yellow Journalism

[craggy flame]

this, many things wouldnt work without monetization, with any kind of service such as youtube or twitch, someone has to pay for the infrastructure which means you either pay for a sub, or you watch ads so that someone else will pay for those costs

[quick rapids]

before the internet, there were still tabloids, and exposees, and all that shit

[earnest cove]

I don't want to go back to the days where a service exists only on the mercy of the webmaster paying the cost because they can get bored one day and terminate everything

Those days actually sucked too

[forest glacier]

I’m pretty sure agowa is talking about a utopian situation where we don’t need a system of money to function, which I also believe could 100% exist. It’s just getting there that’s the problem.

[golden latch]

I used to donate to spaces to keep them going now i dont touch them cause of the ad infection so 🙃 to each their own, vote with my wallet moment i guess

[golden rapids]

Also true, that's part of "something becomming mainstream". It just becomes as shit as the thing you originally wanted to get away from...

[quick rapids]

so yeah, monetisation of stupid, drama, and sensationalism is pre-internet... but it feels a lot less avoidable on the internet

[azure knoll]

The farthest back example I can think of is graffiti in Pompeii nearly 2000 yrs ago (AD 79)

I'm sure there are even older examples but that's all I have at the front of my brain atm

[golden rapids]

I despise the days where 3-4 US companies can just decide to shut down almost all communities in the world at a wimp...

[brisk sparrow]

I mean hell, the biggest one I can think of is newspaper "extras"

if anyone knows what I mean

[quick rapids]

i mean, the oldest known joke is a Sumerian fart joke from like, 1900 BC

[nimble moss]

was it an ad for volcano insurance 😉

[brisk sparrow]

sensationalism always gets its clicks

[random ore]

Well also the Sumerian Copper merchant

[earnest cove]

Gossip and drama are as much a part of human nature as anything else

[quick rapids]

[brisk sparrow]

history tries to potray language and how epople spoke in history as elegant and pretty.
the reality is probably what we see a lot of today

[golden rapids]

Yep they are, I guess I just miss the days when the internet was "cool nerd shit" and it wasn't mainstream enough to have the same "issues"...

[earnest cove]

The more extended story was that his was a Megaman BB forum. The webmaster and owner of the site once drew a really good bunch of fan manga.

However over time he became more and more focused on his programming job and no longer pursued the way of drawing manga

This person, the reddit/twitter personified, saw this as utter betrayal, fought every encounter, wanting his 'rival' to become a better manga artist again, and went nuclear when the webmaster made a comedy comic for a friend. The writing was not great but that's what the friend wanted.

The forum got virused, and the webmaster never bothered to put it back up again

[thick ledge]

a guy gifted it to me from his booth at twitchcon 2023(?) for delivering a boardgame to thor

Well still better than everything being on reddit or discord. Or allmost all bigger websites being delivered by clownflare... It was the time when basically everyone would just setup their own forums and people would readily join. These days a lot of people are too lazy too even seek out forums and communities outside of discord and reddit...

Well that's the thing if they're independently hosted and maintained on dedicated infra without using being controlled by the big US companies that's not an issue. But the main issue these days is that there aren't as many anymore. Both not as many people and not as many forums...

atp vampire survivors is the genre

I was ip blocked by an old gardening forum most likely becuase the spambots come from SEA. I'm not even sure where USA corpo even fit about this.

[worldly elk]

That's... quite a lot

[rapid scarab]

listen

" Poncle has developed the “Vampire Survivor Engine,” which Sapio describes as sort of a “template” that contains all the “Vampire Survivors juice inside.” It is then giving other studios with expertise in a given IP access to that engine to help them build an officially supported Survivors game."

[quick rapids]

... take my money!

[golden latch]

“The engine” the sounds and imagery 🙃

[quick rapids]

i'll play them

[rapid scarab]

no is like with that warhammer game

[golden rapids]

Most people these days even if they self host, do it behind cloudflare and just tick a checkbox to get the "IP blocking" rules activated.

[carmine sierra]

[golden rapids]

Basically a lot of things are centralised on big US tech even if you don't immediately notice it and that's bad...

[carmine sierra]

A lot of them seem incredibly similar because they are similar, they're running on the same framework
In the same sense that a lot of old shooters in the early days of FPS games were basically Doom mods

[golden latch]

Tf2 and source is just heavily modified doom

[carmine sierra]

You know that's not what I mean

[winter sierra]

were so bad at it too, but then i remember its only been like 30 years we have been able to do this which is.. like nothing

[earnest cove]

oh that's probably why

[golden latch]

Source is a quake mod and quake was a doom mod

[worthy ivy]

Hexen comes to mind - kick ass game iirc

[carmine sierra]

Exactly

[earnest cove]

though, it doesn't answer the problem of human nature, yknow the reddit/twitter man before reddit twitter existed

[carmine sierra]

Wolfenstein too, if I remember right

[quick rapids]

Wolfenstein I think was too

[earnest cove]

They callk those Boomer Shooters nowadays

[carmine sierra]

Ye

[worthy ivy]

wolfenstein is an earlier engine - doom is "ID tech 1" but wolfenstein is more like an ID tech beta

[golden latch]

No thats left for dead 2

[worthy ivy]

then quake changed the world

well

gaming anyway

[earnest cove]

youuu that punnn

[carmine sierra]

But in the same way that a lot of the genre was Doom mods, a lot of the Survivors genre at the moment is Vampire Survivors mods
Because the company behind VS put the framework out for anyone to use however they want
(Which is cool as hell of them)

[golden latch]

😁

[rapid scarab]

oh no is past midgnight

[golden rapids]

well you would have had way more options to just switch to a different forum with different policies completely independent. What do you do these days when you're fed up with the policies imposed by big us tech that on a wimp flips from benig "all left-wing" to "all right-wing" because they decided the left is no longer "fun to toy with"?

I'm not sure if this is black and white thinking or twisting the story that fits their perception of reality

In other news, I was quite surprised to see that you can make Burrito's in Windrose

[silent compass]

thoughts and prayers obviously.

[golden rapids]

I thought the mods paid you. - Jokes asside, probably nothing that can be done about that. Just ignore that. What are you supposed to do? Show their paychecks on camera just for the goal post to be moved again?

[craggy flame]

they dont think

[brisk sparrow]

and the goalposts move

[earnest cove]

Next thing they're gonna ask is official goverment payment paychecks in order to try get real life information

[winter wave]

Good grief

[young pulsar]

There was even a weirdo who popped into khronos's stream earlier just to ask questions about PirateSoftwear mod salaries. Literally the worst group of people.

[jolly sky]

The concept of "Mind your own business" has been lost a while ago it seems

[silent compass]

they wanna stir drama, thats the goal

[river peak]

it makes me sad to see the Mods go, whatever the reason was. honestly people riding the PirateSoftware drama train makes me so upset. To finally have a community that i really enjoy, and everyone else attacks it and acts like i'm watching the antichrist or something.

[silent compass]

it's why i constantly tell you all to just not even aknowledge them when they come into stream chat. They are after drama. they want responses. they want to rile everyone up.

[wheat sleet]

Tectone offered a bounty on it

[minor nymph]

Guess he owes me whatever the bounty is.
What is his shitty claim?

[wheat sleet]

200 subs to prove any of the mods got paid a liveable wage

But they're under nda so impossible

well, other than his doctor and his grandma

[winter wave]

Not the point

[golden rapids]

Great, now AI psychosis is also joining in...

[wheat sleet]

The challenge is for one of the mods to prove it. The mods are under NDA. By contract they can't prove it.

[river island]

I know to much about techtone to ever take anything he says as anything other than bs

[distant quiver]

Is this why someone commented on today's short asking if Thor wished that he made his mods sign NDAs? I can't with these drama channels

[craggy flame]

well that could be remedied, i'd be more worried that nothing short of doxxing themselves would count as proof

[warped venture]

Even NDA aside I'm not exactly comfortable talking about my personal finances, yeesh

[warm trench]

The thing is... Other than 545+ stream streak, being through all the PR, understanding the positions Thor takes, the way he delivers thought, I do not know Thor personally. I cannot match the vitriol with what I've seen, heard and read what Thor says. I've been around fake, I seriously doubt Thor is a professional fake. All I have is a bad taste about the vast majority of humans on this planet are and quite frankly most can just fall into the fires of history. What I do want to do is respond to these knuckle heads on posts etc. But it's not my fight and I get it. I can't help to be emotionally invested a bit but at the same time Thor is a good streamer with lots of ideas that matches with mine, but still is a private content provider. I support him because of what he does and I know what he means. Almost everyone else can take a leak on an electric fence.

[distant quiver]

Someone's finances are no one else's business

[icy monolith]

yeah fully proving payment transactions is pretty invasive into the mods personal info/lives

[wheat sleet]

Tectone is a bit of a drama queen, but off stream I hear he's decent

[river island]

Mine can be best described as screams internally

[river peak]

with that name? checks out

[golden rapids]

Does your NDA even cover that? Would be quite unusual...

[warm trench]

Tectone doesn't have friends worth spit. Or the company he likes is the evil variety - someone would have given him a sharp quick boot up the arse already.

Or he ignores the good ones... I dunno. Crazy crap

[young pulsar]

Someone that shit stirs for profit like he does is opportunistic and any decency is just manipulation.

[wheat sleet]

It's an entertainment gig with very few boundaries. Everyone goes a different route.

[craggy flame]

^

[indigo wadi]

Why he so angie? He also doesn't seem to understand how making money off stream works.

[wheat sleet]

Some people have an on-screen persona, like playing a character. Ellen DeGeneres seemed to have the opposite of what Tectone has.

[young pulsar]

Just because there are no or few boundaries doesn't mean there cant be ethics and morals. Its actually when you show your true character.

[river cargo]

Wait what's going on last year tectone and thor were friends

[plain arrow]

Jesus, why does this guy have to be so mad!?

[indigo wadi]

I don't think friends is the right word. Maybe aquaintences

[young pulsar]

Colleagues at best.

[indigo wadi]

friends don't do what tectone is doing

he's just talking shit for views.

[craggy flame]

is that video exclusively on X or is it actually on yt btw? i kinda wanna see what he has to say but if it's only on X imma pass

[indigo wadi]

because that's all he's talented at

[indigo wadi]

I have no idea

[wheat sleet]

Depends. Maybe he knows Thor pays his mods and is doing it for both of them. He knows he'll lose and that's positive publicity for both of them when he pays out.

[river island]

Tech believes chat without question

Need i say more

[craggy flame]

understandable

[indigo wadi]

he'll walk it back. Ain't no way he's actually going to pay out

"oh that's just made up info, that isn't proof"

[wheat sleet]

We'll see.

[craggy flame]

this, exactly this, so much this

[indigo wadi]

It's just another situation that the dramafarmers can jump on and milk for the next several months

[celest jackal]

200 subs is probably nothing for someone with his net worth - why do you think he would squirm out of it?

[indigo wadi]

Because that's the type of person he is. Dollar amount doesn't matter.

[jolly sky]

"Here's scentific proof, measured both by us and by yourselves with our tools and tools you made prove the Earth isn't flat"

"The tools are wrong"

[young pulsar]

If he knew and was trying to support, he would reach out or a very least take a supportive stance. He is obviously soap boxing for attention and self inflating ego/profit.

[indigo wadi]

him admitting he was wrong is not in his wheelhouse

[wheat sleet]

That's the job I suppose

[celest jackal]

I don't think we'd ever know, no one will provide proof, not legitimately anyway

[wheat sleet]

Thor is doing it as we speak

[indigo wadi]

Thor has always been transparent

[celest jackal]

He is provided private salary information to the internet?

bold move

[wheat sleet]

It's his company

[indigo wadi]

he can share what he wants

redact what he needs to

[silent compass]

ya'll let thor handle it, there's no use in speculating or making assumptions.

[earnest cove]

it's safer for the boss to share than an employee to share

[celest jackal]

If my boss shared my salary with a rando online to prove a point I'd be pretty unhappy, but thats just me 🫡

[indigo wadi]

if your ID wasn't attached to it, then it wouldn't matter overall

the proof is in the numbers

[celest jackal]

I hate that my boss shares it with the HMRC as it is 🤣

[minor nymph]

Firing back on this.
What a fucking stupid thing for him to claim.

[indigo wadi]

anyways

imma hush up

[minor nymph]

I have all of the logs for all of the payments lol

[warped venture]

I can't speak for past mods but I don't actually mind. I just don't want to share my own bank info / paystubs

[minor nymph]

https://x.com/PirateSoftware/status/2047087488762859578

Pirate Software (@PirateSoftware)

@SnakeyLeaf @Tectone The moment my content blew up I started paying my moderators and other staff. The blowup started in December 2023 and payments started in May 2024.

We used Wire Transfers originally and then ADP and now Gusto for US payroll. Wire transfers were still used for EU contractors

X · Apr 22, 2026, 10:57 PM

Dumbass behavior

[wheat sleet]

Another thing is without salary transparency how would other steramers know if they're paying their mods fairly? How many other streamers actually pay their mods anyway?

[silent compass]

nor should you have too.

[celest jackal]

Why feed him though, its really no one business

[indigo wadi]

he'll say "but it wasn't over the course of 4 years!!!"

WATCH

lol

[minor nymph]

Yeah because I made dogshit income prior to that.

[broken lava]

why feed the trolls? is this a troll rescue or a ferret rescue lol

[indigo wadi]

because sometimes you have to address the bullshit

[carmine sierra]

Because at some point this shit needs to be confronted

[river island]

Saying nothing unfortunately has implications too

[minor nymph]

It's not feeding shit.
He made a false claim about our business.
I am confonting that shit and shutting it down.

[indigo wadi]

you show the facts and move on. if they wanna continue twisting shit, then that's ont hem

[young pulsar]

If you never wipe the shit piles up.

[worthy ivy]

yah sometimes you have to push back on dumbassery

[broken lava]

i guess, i feel like you just handed him another 30 min of content to rant about on stream tho

[indigo wadi]

course he will

and he'll continue to do so

[minor nymph]

And he hands me 200 subs and fucks off.

[earnest cove]

New fresh account jumping into the room just to talk about this hmmm

[indigo wadi]

I don't expect him to pay up honestly

[celest jackal]

keep us updated if he pays

[golden rapids]

🪝 you're biting at the moment...

[wheat sleet]

Everything is content. The sandwich you had for lunch is content. The car that cut you off this morning is content. Why would this be any different? Streamers jabber about anything and everything.

[indigo wadi]

I'll donate 200 subs if he does (this a joke)

[earnest cove]

I sense bad actor just entered the room

[river island]

He'll move the goal posts

[silent compass]

several

[carmine sierra]

The alternative is letting the claim stand unaddressed, which is arguably worse

[celest jackal]

Yous just like tectone!

[indigo wadi]

so thor should just let it continue and not address it?

[golden rapids]

You're right, either way is wrong...

[indigo wadi]

nah, I ain't bald

[worthy ivy]

if EVE taught me anything it was to never not take the bait
sometimes the bait is tasty
cap'n knows what he's doing

[minor nymph]

This.,

Tectone went over the line on this shit.
I have the receipts and he's being a dumbass.

[carmine sierra]

There's no "good" move here
So the best option is to try and prevent them from controlling the narrative as much as you can

[craggy flame]

damned if you do, damned if you dont

[warped venture]

this.

[broken lava]

my uncle used to say when you play in the poop with people you just get poop on yourself

[earnest cove]

codejones is sus

[carmine sierra]

And the alternative to the saying
When fighting is going on in the mud, "taking the high ground" is a retreat

[indigo wadi]

thor is 5 ferrets in a trenchcoat, he's fine

[wheat sleet]

Just another person who re-joined to feed on the current situation

[celest jackal]

does that prove you are not paying in chicken nuggets though, this is the real question

[golden rapids]

He's right.

[indigo wadi]

even if it's bait, you have to fight sometimes

[indigo wadi]

I'd work for chicken nuggies

[silent compass]

...some chicky nuggies would slap right now.

[celest jackal]

Minimum wage should like 18 nuggies/hr

[indigo wadi]

36

[river island]

Grilled nuggets

[indigo wadi]

i aint cheap

[craggy flame]

i want chimken nuggies

[golden latch]

Id love some chicken off-cut meat slop breaded and fried too

[jolly rock]

Mcdonalds spicy nuggets

[silent compass]

oh.. dude yes. spicy nuggets

[indigo wadi]

mcd;s nuggest are garbage now

[coarse python]

...i think this is just scrip with extra steps /j

[winter sierra]

Tbh i think ive had chicken nuggets maybe 3 times in my life

[silent compass]

with a good buttermilk ranch

[craggy flame]

lowkey same

[jolly rock]

You might be missing out

[celest jackal]

for me, mcdonalds nuggets are just a bbq sauce delivery system

[wheat sleet]

Chicken nuggets are a good way to use up the leftover bits of a carcass that you've picked clean

[young pulsar]

Somehow ground up baby male chickens battered and fried are too damn good.

[thick ledge]

Dude

[river peak]

i've been ruined for Chicken nuggets from McDonalds specifically.

[golden rapids]

Wouldn't that be slightly less than 10 bucks per hour? Sounds like a bad deal...

[indigo wadi]

must you?

[silent compass]

have you tried just mainlining the sauce directly into your facehole

that might work better

[wheat sleet]

I have, not as satisfying. No chew.

[thick ledge]

I want some tenders tossed in Buffalo

Om nom nom

[jolly rock]

That and the curry sauce 🔥

[young pulsar]

I love them too. Good to know they aren't just being wasted.

[silent compass]

See Shaye gets it

[indigo wadi]

sounds shitty

[golden rapids]

Aldi chicken nuggets are the best. Only outclassed by Rewe vegan dino nuggets. For some reason they're better but also more expensive.

[silent compass]

Beer funnel that sauce directly down your gullet

[winter sierra]

i would just make breaded chicken with pieces of chicken and fry that, so basically the same thing but its a piece instead because i dont really like the ground up chicken texture

[bright rover]

I have tried Josh Weismans' better than mcdonalds nuggets recipe before. it was a bit of a work but I can never have nuggets the same ever again

[indigo wadi]

Wendys Nuggets are quite good. As are Burger Kings

[young pulsar]

Not sure the buffalo would appreciate that.

[jolly rock]

I think the nuggets balance the sauce haha

[silent compass]

Wendy's spicy nugs are great

[winter sierra]

Costco pizza is the best pizza you can buy not from a pizza place

[golden rapids]

Never was at a Wendys, but I can agree on Burger King. Even though I don't know if they are still good. Wasn't at one for years by now...

[winter sierra]

Better then all the fast food ones too

[indigo wadi]

i've had em recently. Damn good

[west hawk]

Opinions on Taco Bell taco chickie nuggies?

[river island]

Casys pizza is good In a pinch

[azure knoll]

Last time I had Costco pizza i ate two slices and got acid reflux then passed out as soon as I got home

[jolly rock]

Costco pepperoni pizza oh boy

[silent compass]

for being from a taco place, surprisingly not shit.

[bright rover]

1: I wish they are more consistent. Some tacobells make it great, others no.
2: I wish it was not the price they charge

[golden rapids]

Do you really think it tastes that bad that you've to skip the "tasting" part?

[winter sierra]

Nooooooo i had it lest month with some cold apple pie legit it was so peak

[azure knoll]

I ate pasta from a small pizza place once and got food poisoning

[west hawk]

Oh, interesting!

[winter sierra]

I got food poisoning at ihop

[azure knoll]

One of the few times in my life my incinerator stomach failed me

[azure knoll]

This would be a good sticker

[winter sierra]

Its true

[craggy flame]

[winter sierra]

I hate that place anyways, i didnt want to go i hate the American pancake style

[silent compass]

pretty sure everyone has at least once

[azure knoll]

Oh it was peak I just suffered the repercussions

[carmine sierra]

"I went to IHop and all I got was food poisoning"

[west hawk]

Yeah, I was surprised they weren't an instant 'eww' I'll stick with my crunchwrap though

[winter sierra]

Just a random bumper sticker i could totally see that

[jolly sky]

IHurl

[young pulsar]

The one time I was taken to a red lobster I got food poisoning...

[warm trench]

I... as newly weds at dinner with my wife at her parents house. I ate some traditional Russian food made by my mother in law. I got seconds. I got food poisoning. Wife said - why did you eat that, it was disgusting .... .... .... ....

[craggy flame]

laptop sticker

[silent compass]

yeah I wasn't like "imma get these again" but it was very much a surprise that they were reasonable decent

[indigo wadi]

reason to not eat out

[visual knot]

Yo where is Kronos gone ?

[exotic forge]

Techtone wins either way. 200 gifted subs is not a lot and he's not bound by law so he can keep asking for more proof and more content until he's satisfied with it

This is stupid

[winter sierra]

Last time i ate out it was peak (my birthday)

[golden rapids]

Best when you stick it onto someone elses car in the parking lot 😄

[winter sierra]

I got a free brownie

[thick ledge]

Khronos hasn't gone anywhere he was streaming literally today

Lol

[celest jackal]

b a i t

[thick ledge]

It's not like he ceased to be

[warped venture]

Tbf its not about the subs, moreso disproving the false claims

[golden rapids]

But no longer a mod here though.

[young pulsar]

Just think before you eat out. Take time to think about where or whom your're with before.

[thick ledge]

Also reading past convo. If Thor needs it I'm happy to share bank statement, censored ofc

[exotic forge]

I meant he is just stirring shit up and pocket watching for content and there's very little consequences

[distant rapids]

Ihop is terrible because you pay out yhe nose for mediocre breakfast food at best. Wafflehouse you go to get food and a show

[river cargo]

All the mods are still in discord, they just aren't mods anymore

[visual knot]

MAN OVERBOARD!

[thick ledge]

I'm on good terms with John streamer and afaik everyone else is too

Which is why I said yes to hobgoblining to begin with

[river island]

Honestly this is making my blood boil but I shall behave on Twitter

[winter sierra]

Bruh ihop is so bad too like they have the most mediocre food and they have horrible pancakes (i like mine european style anyway, small crunchy and not sweet)

[golden rapids]

But then it is obviously fake. Cause the entire goal was probably to get PII to keep the fire burning and go for a witchhunt against everyone possible...

[carmine sierra]

For most of iHop's menu, I agree
However their steak tips are fantastic

[warm trench]

I went and bought bacon, eggs, juices, pancake mix in quantities that a breakfast at IHop would have costed. The home cooked breakfast was epic and ate breakfast all day long.

[river island]

I want waffle house

[young pulsar]

Same. This is bs..... they are all revitalized and all i want to do is shut them down....

[distant rapids]

You know how much ihop costs for a basic, two pancake, hash and bacon meal where im at? 17 DOLLARS.

[jolly sky]

The best martial arts training ground in the world

[craggy flame]

+1, i would like to just have nice things on the internet

[indigo wadi]

yeah, eating out is not worth it

[exotic forge]

Crashing out is just going to make it worse. Just respond with facts and reasoning

[warm trench]

This. I was basically trying to say this above.

[thick ledge]

Chat can I draw your attention to

[craggy flame]

👀

[silent compass]

ACORM???!??!?!

[celest jackal]

in solidarity i would also like to provide my bank statement

[silent compass]

YOU GIVE ACORM PICTURES TO CHAT

[thick ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/mgs2-raiden-break-dance-metal-gear-solid2-metal-gear-solid-gif-27563785

[carmine sierra]

That's a concerning amount of McDonalds

[silent compass]

that is not acorms

[warm trench]

Lots of McD's .. how are you feeling? 🙂

[thick ledge]

Oh yeah I can post cat hold on

[winter sierra]

I have kitty if chat wants

[opal bronze]

yeah if you show its getting to you thats confirmation that what they do has meaning

[winter sierra]

Everyone post kitty

[opal bronze]

that goes for thor too

[celest jackal]

https://klipy.com/gifs/thats-the-joke-ranier-wolfcastle-as-mcbain-in-the-simpsons--k01KPVQP9BK4ESCDHMKRXXXPH8Q

[thick ledge]

Thor paying me is why I could afford to get a cat btw

In a very bad mental time for me

[carmine sierra]

[thick ledge]

She is my pal

[distant rapids]

I just block them and move on. Feeding them gives them views and they will learn eventually that the very rabid viewerbase they encourage right now will turn on them like rabid dogs when they make a mistake, no matter how minor it is.

[silent compass]

acormssssss

[winter sierra]

She smol

[warped venture]

love acorn

[thick ledge]

She is smol!

[winter sierra]

My kitty also smol shes like 6 lbs now

[thick ledge]

I had a really bad mental period while working for thor and they were super understanding and gave me time

[young pulsar]

Kitty?

[jolly sky]

It's interesting how we've seen evidence of this happening from at least two content creators

[warm trench]

I give you my dire cat from my game

[thick ledge]

And I'm very grateful

[exotic forge]

Lol have you seen the latest about the mod situation? Nobody fed them anything and they still got content. In fact they got a whole lot of content that I'm not even aware of

[winter sierra]

This one isnt smol shes a big floof

[carmine sierra]

I have two cats
Sherlock on the right is an old man who wants nothing more than to cuddle and sleep, often at the same time
Watson is a dipshit trash gremlin that we found wandering in the middle of the road

[golden rapids]

Then they'll frame themselves as victim again. Half of the community will believe it the other won't. Then they'll be the one benefitting from them fighting. It's literally always the same. These people tend to burn their community just the same as they do everyone else...

[craggy flame]

I too will share cat

[thick ledge]

Round

[celest jackal]

I have 3 cats, they are all knobs

[distant rapids]

Well, they are in the discord, right now. They sneak on and grab whatever they can screenshot to take out of context.

[indigo wadi]

o.O

[exotic forge]

Or they'll start digging up his past again

[winter sierra]

I will also share sea lion from alaska

[thick ledge]

I hope they screenshot that thor did pay me and is based?

You can quote me

[thick ledge]

I give u permission sloptubers

[golden rapids]

as if

[distant rapids]

Honestly, i believe there should be a purge of non "active" accounts on yhe dc. If they want to join back and are legit, great. If they are people who are only here to manipulate and take things out of context for their never ending effort to feel good about themselves and get money, then good riddance.

[jolly rock]

McDonald's is life

[indigo wadi]

if the mods didn't get paid, you bet your ass they would of said something immediately

[celest jackal]

this looks like a giga chad cat

[opal bronze]

nah too many people in crossfire

[exotic forge]

Curious how this would go but I don't dislike the idea......

[thick ledge]

If mods weren't on good terms someone would have said something to a slop tuber

[opal bronze]

especially with how the discord is setup to be source of info for people

[thick ledge]

Lol

[warped venture]

I'm not going thru over 100k accounts 😭

[young pulsar]

Request unclear, posting Pygmy Hippos

[thick ledge]

Forest I'm gonna need you to screen every account

Rn

Holy shit

[silent compass]

yeah... that would be a nightmare.

[winter sierra]

I know way to many random people who came here to share a photo of their cat or ferret and then dont use discord

[distant rapids]

Look, if you do one a day that will only take you 30 years

[thick ledge]

I thought that was the thing again

[celest jackal]

Just mass delete them all, then its really quick

[warped venture]

4 panels are ruined for me

purging wouldnt even really do anything, people could just rejoin

[golden rapids]

rich people food these days. Way too expensive...

[distant rapids]

But seriously, yeah, ppl would be caught who are legit... so maybe im wrong about wanting that

[river peak]

bad idea. I've been subbed for over a year but this is probably my first time actually speaking in the Discord. WAY too many people like me would get caught in that shit

[west hawk]

I can certainly understand why so many people have 'sub only' discords .. big props to Thor from keeping things from being pay walled, but damn.

[thick ledge]

Welcome frigid I prommy we are usually normal and you should hang out

But now I must go get 40 nuggies.

[silent compass]

dude.. share

[opal bronze]

define normal

[thick ledge]

I post cat?

[warm trench]

You used to be able to order a brown sack of fries

[celest jackal]

"sharebox" is just a lie btw

[river peak]

Zafaroth i see you on stream you can not claim normalcy

[river cargo]

there are paid channels

[thick ledge]

I recommend indie games that don't make it to stream

Wtf

[thick ledge]

I'm SO normal

There's 2 paid channels

[exotic forge]

Pirate premium channel?

I'm too poor to verify that but I will take your word for it mr hobgoblin

[thick ledge]

Like 4 hours ago the sub only chat was talking about wendigos

Just checked

[broken lava]

i agree, we need to get some of these rando new people into some sort of quarantine

[thick ledge]

And some people thanking thor for doing a statement when that happened

[silent compass]

yeah #pirate-pass gets weird

[golden rapids]

That's literally the reason why I stopped going there. McDonalds used to be the place where after a long night when you'd find a few bucks left in your pocket on your way home and buy a cheap meal with it. e.g. for 3 bucks it used to be 2 chese or chicken burgers + 1 ice cream or drink....

[opal bronze]

[distant rapids]

Mcdonalds became a corporatized hellhole. remember playplaces? Things for kids that didnt make them money but was just for fun? (Although some believe it was because mcdonalds wanted kids to convince their parents to go, along happy meals, which worked very very well if it was purposeful)

[opal bronze]

someone gets it

[warm trench]

The dude that made the brass bull to bake people in was the first one try it out... just saying.

[silent compass]

new baby jail, the betta cup

[opal bronze]

i have a fact but its not fun

[thick ledge]

Dude one time i got punched as a kid for absolutely slapping every other kid in smash bros at a mcdonalds

When they had videogames at the play place

[distant rapids]

Omg i remember that, that was VERY brief around my area

[thick ledge]

My crowning gaming achievement

[craggy flame]

grim...

[wheat sleet]

Nowadays a console would be broken instantly in public. Times have changed.

[thick ledge]

All fown hill from there

Down

[quartz sonnet]

I never knew this was a thing. Then again, my parents basically never let my siblings and I go into the play areas.

[jolly rock]

Yeah they also discontinued the triple cheeseburger which was the best thing on the savers menu

[distant rapids]

Oh it would be stolen in a heartbeat

[craggy flame]

would probably be stolen

[opal bronze]

genuine tragedy

[distant rapids]

The forbidden ball pit

[thick ledge]

I used to lose against my brother in n64 smash

Little did I know years later

I was playing bottom tier as link

Abd making it close against his fox

Lmao

[wheat sleet]

Nah they lock those public things up stupidly tight, but they have to have a interface (controller) to the public, which promptly gets smashed

[golden rapids]

they still sell it here, but it is just no longer worth it... - I think

[dusk cypress]

i actually remember seeing one in recent years that still had a console. i dont remember which one or where but it was in the last like 6-8 years? granted a lot has changed even from then lol

[winter sierra]

There was a public console at a university i did an internship at in high school a while ago and the username was something that automod will kill me for

[craggy flame]

fun fact: when i was a kid someone jumped on my hand in a ball pit, i did not have a good day that day

[opal bronze]

if you locked in and won now that would be aura

[carmine sierra]

My next door neighbor and best friend in high school loved fighting games
I didn't
But he was the one with the console, so that's what we did
And since he was the one with the console, he also got practice time, and I didn't
So yeah I still don't like fighting games

[west hawk]

Back in MY day, we just had filet'o fish spring rocker and the Grimace slide

[thick ledge]

I don't think I ever did

Tried so hard

[golden rapids]

it's also still on their website. As I'm no longer going there I don't really know if they actually still sell it though...

[radiant wedge]

Quintheo literally brought me here (gotta verify since he posted about Khronos and mod team salary debacle)

[dusk cypress]

we had the whole mcdonalds line up of hamburgler, birdie, grimice, etc as toys for our happy meals.

[opal bronze]

what do people go on the website for

[west hawk]

Ok? Welcome in

[exotic forge]

Welcome! Please engage in honest discussions and I'll be happy to talk about anything

[azure knoll]

Go hawks

[carmine sierra]

Mod team got hit with layoffs due to stream finances, Khronos and a few others left voluntarily, and they were paid an unknown exact amount but from what we know it was a comfortable salary
You can see more in #news

[jolly rock]

Going by the prices nowadays it wouldn't be worth the squeeze. A time was had when they were about.

[winter sierra]

Sea hawks hype

[west hawk]

Yessss, and the "transforming" versions of the McDonalds food

[radiant wedge]

Well I’ve been in the server for a while tbh but I had just never posted much XD

[haughty crow]

Has anyone here been to Trader Joe's?

[opal bronze]

oh i didnt even know khronos was voluntary

damn

[radiant wedge]

Heck yeah!

[dusk cypress]

yup yup i remember those lol

[golden rapids]

probably jobs, and vouchers. Do they even still do vouchers? So probably mainly jobs. - Oh and when you're rich and have double the money for starting any other franchising business you may also go there to see how to start your McDonalds store...

[celest jackal]

Im a serial server leaver and joiner, I look new in most of my servers 😬

[winter sierra]

Im a fan of it, minus a couple things

[west hawk]

Then I rescend my welcome and just say Hi!
XD

[exotic forge]

They're the best along with Costco

[azure knoll]

I'm not sure I think every time I set foot in a TJ's I suffer from time dialation and it wipes my memories

[winged knoll]

Was recently working with a YouTuber, their live don’t count if the stream is 12 hours long and vods doesn’t get uploaded to YouTube, otherwise their other lives count normally towards long form views

[azure knoll]

Could have, could not have

[opal bronze]

i thought nutrition information first i forgot mcdonalds employees dont just spawn in

[haughty crow]

Do y'all know if Joe's has better mango or pineapple juice?

Or, like, which one do you prefer.

*?

[warped venture]

this is some genchat level of topic whiplash lul

[golden rapids]

Isn't that information also on the underside of that ads sheet they put on the trays?

[winged knoll]

As long as the vod is public i think

[wheat sleet]

Yeah, move it all to genchat and leave us slow readers in peace!

[winter sierra]

Its kinda an alternative reality sometimes

[opal bronze]

i guess we'll never know

[dusk cypress]

only if you try to follow all the conversations.

The people inside the trader joes are wierd

[silent compass]

I love Tjs... i basically shop almost exclusivly at it save for a few things because they are now cheaper than safeway

[jolly rock]

Tbh I rarely talk in here but food was mentioned. I felt compelled to interact.

[quartz sonnet]

I feel you there. I would like to purge most of the servers I'm in, but I'm also in those servers for news related reasons

[dusk cypress]

read faster!

[haughty crow]

So, like the Trader Joe Mango or Pineapple Juice?

[wheat sleet]

Type slower!

[haughty crow]

Which should I get?

[dusk cypress]

adhd brain cant do that, would cause malfunctions

[carmine sierra]

That's why I have about a dozen servers in a folder that are all muted for everything except pings

[winter sierra]

Ive had neither, the best juice to have is passion fruit orange guava (it so good)

[quartz sonnet]

I greatly enjoy Pineapple juice if that's of any worth 🤣

[haughty crow]

Pineapple it is. The guava juice is noted.

[golden rapids]

It's already malfunctioning. All "normal people" apparently believe everything they hear and read and happily and readily go on witch hunts...

[dusk cypress]

just one? you dont go even further and seperate them by type? lol

i.e. streamers, games, etc

[golden rapids]

And you can right-click the folder and select "Mark folder as Read"

[carmine sierra]

I have folders divided by type for the servers I have notifications enabled on
All the ones that are muted are lumped into a folder together, since the only time I look at any of them is if a red ping notice shows up

[opal bronze]

i love drugs man

[silent compass]

get the orange peach mango

its so good

this one

[dusk cypress]

mmmmm that does sound good.

[minor nymph]

Yeah I need to set something up to auto-cut videos at 11 hours

[golden rapids]

I've many of them only because so many projects and stuff use discord as documentation these days. That's kinda annoying...

[craggy flame]

couldnt you just have the ferret's YT stream reset every 8 hours the same way twitch resets every 48 hours?

[wheat sleet]

For now can you just make it a moderator/vip command to restart the stream like the camera reset?

[indigo wadi]

Yup, good ol' goal post moving 😂

[haughty crow]

Is that Twitter?

[indigo wadi]

Posts proof of filing pay

no, it's X

[wheat sleet]

[haughty crow]

Oh.

[jolly sky]

Just remember. Sonic is looking out for you. Worth following this advice

[indigo wadi]

post proof of filing t4 for income tax

[opal bronze]

start revealing each digit like the lottery numbers

[winged knoll]

mister Dan

[golden rapids]

And delete your accounts...

[jolly sky]

Never had one never will

[indigo wadi]

tbf, i only logged into the account to see the replies, i'm logging out of twitter after this

[opal bronze]

actually i know what the first character is

[craggy flame]

twitter doesnt even work for me anymore when i looked at thor's post from earlier it wouldnt allow me to actually look at the images, only the small preview where you cant actually read anything

[indigo wadi]

I had one account in the middle of deletion actually get suspended because there were zero posts on it, so I can't even delete that account now

[golden rapids]

But do you really have to? We all already know what they are, cause nobody besides the drama queens and companies is still actively posting there...

[winged knoll]

Yeah, we were doing birthday stream marathon, did a 3 days stream and non of the watch hours went up, the horror when we figured out that youtube don't count live above 12 hours

[indigo wadi]

did I have to? no, did I want to to scratch the curiosity? yes

[wheat sleet]

Couple years ago they started rolling out limits for post tied to an account because bot scraping was consuming all the bandwidth and overloading the servers

[untold torrent]

👋

[golden rapids]

My sincere condolences. You'll get clean eventually

[craggy flame]

twitter has just generally ceased to work, i cant login anymore either and havent been able to for like 3? 4? years at this point

[indigo wadi]

I don't do twitter outside of these instances to be fair

[wheat sleet]

Sounds like your account has been locked or compromised

[opal bronze]

they're after em

[craggy flame]

probably not, it just shows me the site in russian for reasons unknown and then spits out random errors when i try to login, i've long been over it tho

[indigo wadi]

one reply, the dude was genuinely surprised that Thor paid his mods

[wheat sleet]

Watch for government drones outside your window

[broken lava]

if you had an ubikey set up you were supposed to change the domain or something, some people got locked out that way

[golden rapids]

A relapse doesn't mean you'll start back from zero. You'll get this sorted and move past it eventually

[wheat sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/bird-cctv-closed-circuit-television-camera-surveillance-gif-17588799

[quartz sonnet]

You're better off not being on Twitter. I do still have my account from when I made it like... 15 years ago? It's an effort to keep it tailored to only seeing Ferret posting and Indie Game stuff

[indigo wadi]

it's twitter. I genuinely do not care about it.

after this lil drama stuff has passed, I won't look at it for like 2+ years

[golden rapids]

After Elmo took over they scred up the 2FA part hard. - Multiple times by now even.

[wheat sleet]

I like the cross-cultural posts on Twitter. It's very heartwarming.

Japan recently discoverd pepe the frog

[craggy flame]

[quartz sonnet]

Chat, my Twitter account is 14 years old. I wasn't far off.

[golden rapids]

Not just that, they also managed to brick SMS 2FA at some point too...

[craggy flame]

my condolences

[haughty crow]

I don't like Twitter after they paywalled a bunch of features behind a new tier of their API.

[opal bronze]

i remember when people in america moved over to that chinese social app temporarily and similar thing happened, because thor was talking about it at the time

[distant rapids]

I actually haven't been able to login to twitter today either. Getting an error with techno babble, did they update the app with vibe coding?

[haughty crow]

Scala vibe coding.

[craggy flame]

almost certainly

[indigo wadi]

Now, my facebook account, is on perma offline with the exception of messenger

[wheat sleet]

The majority of Twitter at that time was of one political orientation and China isn't like that. Cultural shock.

[golden rapids]

Literally all of them were barried below killometers of slop, companies advertising, and dipshits with paid accounts trying to spread narratives. And slowly everyone I know drained away until nobody was left anymore...

[opal bronze]

nah from what i remember it was positive clashing, im not saying twitter moved over i think it was tiktok actually

or something else

[wheat sleet]

Oh yeah, when the US was about to shut down TikTok

[golden rapids]

You mean the little red book? Aka Chinese Pinterest? I still remember that and they added the country you were logged in from in chinese letters behind everyones message slowly after too.

[opal bronze]

yeah that rings a bell

[craggy flame]

oooooooh yeah that whole thing

[opal bronze]

yes that one

[wheat sleet]

It's too bad they didn't. I have yet to see one positive thing come out of TikTok

[silent compass]

https://giphy.com/gifs/1AIeYgwnqeBUxh6juu

[carmine sierra]

Yes and no

[opal bronze]

uh have you not seen maybe ill be tracer

[river cargo]

The whole tiktok saga was such a farce lol

[wheat sleet]

No, because I don't watch TikTok. Hence, it did not come OUT of TikTok.

[carmine sierra]

They were going to restrict Tiktok's domestic operations unless they divested those operations to a domestic company that's subject to US laws and regulations
Which is what ended up happening

[opal bronze]

that was one of the original things to come out of tiktok

and i know because i dont use it either

[river cargo]

they already had a deal between the ccp and oracle lol

[jolly sky]

And now they own (IIRC) 79% of it, and can control the algorithm. That's as far as I'm going however. All I'll say is that it's a terrible, horrific place to be on

[river cargo]

I don't know how it works exactly but apparently oracle own the US version while the CCP own the global version

[carmine sierra]

Yes, they do now

[river cargo]

but the 2 are still on the same platform

[carmine sierra]

And it's not the CCP, it's a Chinese company

So there's at least some level of abstraction there

[opal bronze]

bytedance

[wheat sleet]

The government never does things directly within the people's interests, but they may accidentally hit a win every once in a while.

https://tenor.com/view/im-not-a-big-fan-of-the-goverment-vegeta-piccolo-gif-2826679840077264164

[river cargo]

It's a stateowned company

[carmine sierra]

As far as I'm aware, the CCP's economic policy is basically
Private corporations can be a thing and do whatever, the government just withholds the right to step in if they disagree with your operations

[golden rapids]

That's the funny thing the CCP doesn't even own it. It's from singapore or something. China has their own version of tiktok where they mandate that children see STEM content every X videos and so on...

[opal bronze]

oh yeeeah

[jolly sky]

Certain....politically US related posts were being directly removed from TikTok, and others were being denied from being uploaded. There was a literal silencing going on.

[golden rapids]

That's also why this "The little red book" episode was so funny to watch :p

[opal bronze]

that whole thing with the ceo of tiktok and he had to keep telling those guys he wasnt chinese

[river cargo]

Tbh, without delving too far into politics, singapore is basically owned by the CCP lol

[opal bronze]

idk if senators is the right term at all

[carmine sierra]

It was the Senate, yeah

[golden rapids]

No it's not. That's where all of the rich people go these days...

[opal bronze]

Does discussing governmental structures count? 😛

[golden rapids]

Well they used to go to either Dubai or Singapore. But Dubai didn't turn out that well if you followed latest news, so..

[opal bronze]

yeah that was my 2nd choice

[golden latch]

Only if you can behave and not bring up current administration or sides very hard i know

[carmine sierra]

[golden rapids]

And the "pretend to be rich" people apparently go to Cypres and try to avoid being extradited back to Germany after they were thrown out of Dubai for no longer having any money. Or basically destroyed their reputation while living in the former tax heaven Madeira...

[opal bronze]

that vermin supreme guy...

[wheat sleet]

It's a crime to be poor in Dubai. You literally go to jail for missing a car payment.

Good politics talk: dont forget to vote! Educate yourselves on who you are voting for!
Bad politics talk: x politician is meh meh meh

[golden rapids]

I think it was mainly a visa thing in this case. I haven't heard anything of them having any debitors in Dubai itself, but I wouldn't be surprised at this point either...

[wheat sleet]

X is a politician now? Shit, I may have to stop using the platform

[opal bronze]

close

[golden rapids]

I'm referring to one prominent individual with the Cypress thing. The Madeira one was the majority of the pretenders though.

[thick ledge]

Can confirm I was paid well as a mod and am on good terms with thor, and so is the rest of the mod line up

Treated so well I volunteered to do it for free

[golden rapids]

well at least I thought so until recent news about Dubai hit and then I learned about "influencers" I had never heard about before...

[torpid timber]

damn quintheo still hasn't given up on slandering this community?

[wheat sleet]

I would mod for free as long as I had no obligation to be present. I still have to earn a living somehow.

[opal bronze]

the current mod lineup?

[jolly sky]

Nope, it's his biggest source of revenue

[thick ledge]

Past and present

[opal bronze]

ok good

[thick ledge]

There has never been bad blood

Thor has always gone above and beyond for us, way more than he needed to

[distant rapids]

Nope. Anyone have that screenshot of him promoting his own game in this dc before he learned he could betray people who raised him up for fun and profit? milk kink man is a wild ride and one i am glad to ignore

[distant rapids]

Wow thats uh

[opal bronze]

that is a funny idea

[river cargo]

Why can't thor just sue quintheo for defamation?

[craggy flame]

backlog noises

[river cargo]

The guy is basically lying in every video

[thick ledge]

Because that's fuel for the fire

[river cargo]

Not if you can get him to shut up

[opal bronze]

what about everyone else

cant fight the tide

[river cargo]

I mean if he is lying about the relationship between thor and the mods, then he is very clearly slandering thor

[wheat sleet]

Lawsuits are very expensive and time consuming affair, plus specifically related to libel or slander are very difficult ones to prove.

[thick ledge]

@distant rapids I know how it looks but give it a second

[river cargo]

I didnt watch whatever drama video this is but if he is making up stories of bad blood, then he is purposely misinforming his audience

[distant rapids]

He technically could. But a, it costs way too much money. B. Its not worth it because then ppl would be like onergerdddd this validates my incorrect beliefs,,, and stuff.

[craggy flame]

defamation lawsuits are hard to win tbf

[indigo wadi]

it's unlikely worth it due to the very high bar defemation cases have

[indigo wadi]

Depp may have won his, but even he took a couple of losses

[opal bronze]

from what i know you have to prove it was done maliciously

this is why its so hard

[golden rapids]

That's one of the persons that when you'd kill them with a shovel you'd have to slay the mouth separately. (probably doesn't translate that well into english, it's a kind of old saying my grandmother always used to say)

[thick ledge]

Lol

[distant rapids]

Nah honestly if i can support tingle's wrongs from loz, i can handle a wack aesthetic

[carmine sierra]

Doesn't translate well, but I get the sentiment

[indigo wadi]

profitting off false allegations could be proven, it's a matter of whether it's worth it in the long run

[river island]

Thor looks like the Jeff pog picture here

[warm trench]

Mine is 16 years old 😛

[opal bronze]

its not about profit its about intention

[distant rapids]

Did you know tingle canonically enslaved a random dude and called him a brother in windwaker

[river peak]

since we're talking Indie games, i'm curious to know if anyone here has ever played or heard of The Void Rains Upon Her Heart? it's one of my favorite Indie games. I'd kill to see Thor play it on stream but i think it's unlikely.

[jolly sky]

Here's a stronger comparison

[thick ledge]

The music is awesome

[radiant wedge]

Good to know it’s just another dumb drama XD

[thick ledge]

Yerp

[indigo wadi]

intention to profit is a thing and would matter in this.

[river cargo]

I have the sloptuber blocked and didn't watch, but reading this chat has already give nme the context of what lies he made

[thick ledge]

It's less drama and more made up shit

[indigo wadi]

intention to profit from defamation would be considered malicious

[thick ledge]

Quintheos content doesn't seem to do particularly well when it's not about thor

[livid path]

That is the funniest shit ever

[celest jackal]

Wasn't everything he said based on screenshot of actual statement though?

[opal bronze]

for slander iirc is you have to knowingly spread false info with the intention of damaging rep, which is hard to prove

[covert monolith]

That name is familiar. Aint that one of the dudes from months ago, too? He stirrin again?

[thick ledge]

The statement came out after the video isn't it

[golden rapids]

So Thor is going to be the next US president then? Cause as we all know whoever is Lisa simpson will be the next one. Would be an interesting plot twist 😛

[opal bronze]

oh yeah, but how do you prove intention beyond reasonable doubt

[thick ledge]

Or did he make yet another

I haven't bothered to look

[carmine sierra]

He's been around for years

[distant rapids]

I gotta go diggy hole chat. Remember to be like duck. Let evil slide off your back like water. Gobble peas in water with vigour.

[warm trench]

Wait a sec...

[thick ledge]

Gobble pee

Can't believe you'd say that

[distant rapids]

Do Not the pee

[carmine sierra]

Back during the biggest flare up around the SKG debacle, he was putting out multiple drama videos about Thor a week for a solid two months or so

[thick ledge]

[covert monolith]

Ah, I wouldnt know. Not a drama content consumer/the first time I heard of him was cause of the thor stuff

[carmine sierra]

It was insane levels of obsession

[golden latch]

“With vigor” too

[opal bronze]

he might be thor biggest fan

got some competition

[distant rapids]

Of course chat doesnt know what a vegetable is /j

[golden latch]

Like zultralord

[golden rapids]

Oh that's probably the easisest part. These kind of people would probably even admit it freely when asked on stream. But they'd also use you suing them as prove that you're a dipshit trying to silence and infringe upon their freespeech. And from all the other cases they'd really go wild then...

[wheat sleet]

STOP MAKING UP WORDS

[livid path]

With all the drama I always feel it’s worth keeping in mind Thor isn’t perfect, just like any human, he’s said things that didn’t convey his thoughts properly that people have used as arguments, and has flaws. What’s important is how far he goes to be a good person and do good things for other people and the world around him. Far better man than I.

evidence, witnesses, etc

[opal bronze]

hmmm sounds very easy

why dont people do this more often

[indigo wadi]

I didn't say it was easy.

[golden rapids]

Probably not even wrong. Hatewatchers do exist and they often watch way more than any other viewer...

[celest jackal]

Witnesses can mindread😬

[opal bronze]

yeah its hard compared to something like oh i ran this guy over

[distant rapids]

I have a video apt for this moment let me see if i can find it

[radiant wedge]

PS since the WoW drama and SKG / SDVG has been free target for for sloptuber since most watchers dont verify sht and ate them up

[indigo wadi]

if you have enough evidence of facts vs the lying, then there might a chance, especially if someone continues to spread false narratives willingly

[celest jackal]

What was his lie btw?

[golden rapids]

scroll up and read...

[celest jackal]

I thought he just read out chat snippets

[indigo wadi]

from now or back then? because Quintheo lies on the reg

or twists the narrative

[golden latch]

Witness in this case is someone that actually heard or was told that they were slandering someone on purpose tbf

[radiant wedge]

Quintheo? Allegedly, Whole mods left, users prefer Khronos than PS, PS dont pay salary

[thick ledge]

Huh

Lmao

[indigo wadi]

god I want to joke but i wont lol

You know that you can pull stuff out of context and make up a fake narrative right? Also just scroll up and read the conversation of the last 3 hours. It's literally a recurring topic...

[covert monolith]

Doesnt Khronos have a whole other discord.. why would we be here than for Thor

[river cargo]

Far out quintheho just makes things up huh

[thick ledge]

Khronos has his own stream and his own viewers

[river cargo]

He does yeah

you missed depp vs heard then
