I wonder if one day some Chinese dev at riot will turn all those installs into a large botnet. It would be something to behold....

but I highly highly doubt Linux year will come anytime soon.

While I've been an advocate for Linux in the past year or two I genuinely believe it'll stay niche and probably mostly only used by gamers who are technologically competent and fed up with windows fucking with everything. If I spend most of my time at my PC there's no reason to not consider dualbooting between Windows and some flavor of Mint/Manjaro or even SteamOS (if Valve ever releases a proper desktop build for the current version running on Deck and other portable devices).

BROOOOOOOOO


How did they see this take and think "yeah that looks good"

Fun tidbit: I played the first Last of Us, and then saw someone else play the shitshow that was the second game. My mom, who doesn't play video games but loves anything that has zombies and gore, no matter how stupid it is, watched the first season and liked it. I warned her that if season 2 covers Part II, that the plot is going to go in a direction she won't like at all. She said "how do you know, maybe they fixed it"

Well, the show adapted THAT scene.

Spoiler: You know the one.

She told me the next day that they fucked everything up, and doesn't know how if she's going to keep watching it because Ellie "is ugly and annoying."

I'm just like:

Please share and explain this to your mom.

Yes but it was the Biden Lean flavor

I'm gonna unironically unpaid shill for the Biden Lean flavor. I bought it with my Dokibird cup and it's genuinely one of my favorite flavors. It's just Lemonade + Peach Tea flavor (rather than grape like what you'd think Lean would be) and it's pretty good IMO but I'm biased towards lemonade/lemon flavored anything.

Lean and Gamer Fart 9000 are my two favorite flavors. I also really like Brand Risk and Good.

Isn't this GamerSupps slop quite literally the most expensive way for caffeine addicts to get their fix outside of canned drinks?

This a tub of the stuff looks to be over 2.5x as expensive as a generic energy blend from a company like Optimum Nutrition. I'm sure the difference is even larger if you looked at something like plain caffeine pills.

A lot of people do drink it solely for the flavour, as evidenced by the existence of caffeine free variants.
For GFuel, there are even people who will mix some flavours with milk instead of water, which obliterates the other "health benefits" as well. I don't know if the gamersupps community has the same contingent of flavoured milk sipping mental cases though.

I like how GFuel tastes and will buy a couple of flavours every half a year or so, but I don't feel the need to always keep it stocked. If I run out, I run out and it's back to water and the occasional soda.

What's with the poles and being into gamersupps? I also know a Polish guy who has an entire display for those stupid anime cups and buys a fuckton of gamersupps.

You assume that they're trying to compete against actual caffeine supplements and/or pre-workouts. Nah. They're competing against Coke and Pepsi and other such soda drink brands (you could include Monster and Red Bull in that). The big evidence of this is twofold: one -- they are aggressive about offering caffeine-free options of every single flavor, unlike the other gamer-brand drink powder brands (Rogue, GFuel, etc). Two -- if looked at as a supplement their micronutrient formula avoids including stuff I don't know the names of but I'll collectively call "muscle stuff" and instead includes "brain stuff".

In your arena, yeah they're expensive as shit.

Against Big Soda? They're at punching weight with the price, and they can say "We're not loaded with sugar that'll give you diabetes! We also have vitamins and shit!" as a plus.

Spoiler: Math Nerd Shit On Price of Drinkypoos

• Gamersupps Meme Powder
  • $40 per tub
  • Approx 100 scoops of powder per tub
  • Suggested ratio of water to scoop is 8oz (I use 16oz but fuck it I'm not trying to CHEAT)
  • 0.40 USD per 8oz of beverage (0.20 if you do like I do and use 16oz water)
• Coca-Cola
  • Using Bulk Pack of 8oz cans (30 cans) to reference
    • 35 USD per 30x8oz (Walmart Dot Com) = 1.16 USD per 8oz
  • Using 2L Bottle as reference:
    • 3.80 USD per 2L bottle (local grocery store) = 0.45 USD per 8oz
  • Using 12pack x 12oz cans as reference
    • 11 USD per 12x12oz (local grocery store) = 0.61 USD per 8oz

In complete fairness, I didn't factor in the price of water for the powder mixes, but I'm chalking that as negligible because your tap water price is up to your city, and it'd be unusual for 8oz to cost more than 0.0008 USD (yes, 8 hundredths of a penny).

Nah. They're competing against Coke and Pepsi and other such soda drink brands (you could include Monster and Red Bull in that).

Honestly I've been buying them for this reason. Just trying to quit regularly drinking soda (for like the third time ever). Will drink anything that isn't HFCS poison. Only really bought into it initially thinking it was just a meme and I'll burn through what I bought and keep the Doki/Mint cup in the cupboard after that. Didn't expect it to be decent.

Somewhat famous speedrunner and longtime streamer ProtonJon is trooning out.


He is married for years with Lucah (Reese Wheeler*), a sex-machine vtuber who is, in fact, very entertaining, coomerish as well.

• As of September 2, 2017 she is engaged to ProtonJon. He proposed at PAX West. Congrats to Auntie Lucah and Jon!
• As of September 29, 2018, they finally had the wedding ceremony, only to be interrupted by a Mewtwo raid in Pokémon Go, which she caught and named PartyCrasher.

tweet

Then one day later she posts on Fansly that she's entering an hiatus there because of creeps

*all of this is public information and they never went against it as both of them were public figures way before vtubing established itself.

How. He has a stable life, he has good content and community, he never isolated himself in the estrogen bubble or political bullshit, how does someone throw it all away to ruin their lives willingly?

you totally forgot the "protonjon is a pedo" arc in which basically all his friends (except peanutbuttergamer I think) threw him undr several busses which turns out was probably false after his response came out a few months later,. hes also been an admitted long time sufferer from body dysmorphia due to looking like like someone half melted voldermorts mushface which yeah basically everyone made jokes about

Never enjoyed his content so i dont cae much but yeah this tracksprobally one of the few cases where its attempted by a sane prson to fix something they really do think is wrong.

not sure how making yourself look worse helps tho.

Don't think they can do a worse job than what they're currently doing.

Realistically what can you do that's not reactionary? preventative measures to crack on on this shit barely work if your lucky. Skype AOL and other chat services also suffer this issue.

As for the pornbot while Yeah it should be an exception pretty sure a bot that bans people for being in another server violates ToS on top of being a legal liability

All this shit would be fixed by parents actually watching what their kids do online.

Here's an amusing yab from earlier: Despite being incredibly hard to get hold of due to overwhelming demand, Phase Friend DSP managed to secure two preorders for the Nintendo Switch 2, one for him to play on stream, and another for his fat wife.

The problem? He showed his order number on stream, so a troll was able to call the shop to have the order cancelled.

Now, I don't condone this kind of petty cowtipping. But this does happen to be very, very funny.

should of changed it to 2 switch 1's just so we get a disappointed react video out of it.

Reminder that Pyro has a girlfriend, and he's been doing this for years.

this femboy beating us all at life is depressing.

and he makes decent content too the fuck.

falling over and killing dozens like in Serbia or the skyscraper in Bangkok in March.

That is what we want yes.

You have to understand, Moth is Canadian. His choices are Chinese or Indians so naturally China is gonna look godly in comparison

I'm Canadian moth is just retarded

It's ok the mountains of slop content he produces completely offset the good vids he makes so you can still shit on him.
