  • I’m laughing at their YouTube’s response. Obviously someone used a thesaurus to write it and didn’t know that “incalcitrant” is not even the word, no major dictionaries list it. It’s like using irregardless instead of regardless The word they YouTube wanted is recalcitrant.

    And it’s very telling that they YouTube used that word because it shows they think they are King.

    Recalicitrant:

    Stubbornly resistant to authority or control.

    Unwilling to obey orders or to do what should be done.

    Resisting authority or control; not obedient or compliant.

    Edit: I’m laughing at YouTube’s response. I thought that was clear by context… I guess people who didn’t read the article didn’t get that? Maybe it was paywalled to them?

    Words matter, and by using the one they did, YouTube is basically saying that they demand people obey them.





  • Account sharing is against GGG’s ToS, so Elon should be banned. He probably RMTed it though (still against ToS). He would be fucked during a race though.

    In PoE 1: racers stream their entire race. Once a league Zizaran hosts the Gauntlet (HC/SSF) race event, streaming on Twitch (often with a 4-panel split screen). They sub out different races to highlight boss fights and whatnot. You have to provide proof of any “bounty” you won. There are some cash money prizes, so this is all very strict.

    During these races, players often have a timer showing how long they’ve been going, and it’s not unusual to see 37 hours of straight streaming the first day. GGG hosts World Firsts events after XPac stuff, and is mindful of exploits.

    That is all PoE 1. PoE 2 is in early access; it’s the same people, so it should be the same integrity. I know a lot of Diablo folks came over for it, so I can’t speak for them.

    3-panel comic from Poorly Drawn Lines

    1st pane: Mouse with a red balloon, saying: “Every day is a good day when you have a balloon”.

    2nd pane: balloon pops “POP”

    3rd pane: Mouse laying down on couch, under a blanket, with the shades drawn-- his facial hair is coming in.

    EDIT: fucky formatting




  • The state trial against Mangione will come before his federal trial, prosecutors said.

    WTF? I never heard about federal charges-- isn’t that double jeopardy?

    Like the reporter said, they might be trying to make it so there are no copycats, but they clearly don’t understand the number of people that wouldn’t want to be making it out alive. Their trumped up charges aren’t a deterrent.

    If I were USian, I’d be mega-pissed that they are making the CEO’s death out like Luigi killed the king.
