THUNDERDOME LOSER

Snowglobe of Doom posted:

loving hell, I remember when this came up in the thread a year ago or even further back. That games developer sounds like an absolute psychopath.

The Astounding Romino Bros. are idiots, not psychos. I think Jim said it best when he mentioned James sitting down with an actual lawyer and things getting a little too real for him- from what I've heard of the documents, not just in this video but in several others, they're utterly childish and petty in their complaints, haphazardly put together, and lacking in any form of professionalism (of course, the Romines never hired a lawyer).

The utterly sad thing is, had they simply shut up about everything and let things slide, Jim would've just moved on to the next lovely asset flip. Sure, odds are he'd stumble onto another DH trash fire, but at least he wouldn't actively be digging into things. Seriously, of all the people who'd be offended due to artistic pride, the DH guys are the ones I'd least suspect, and the ones who least deserve, to be so.

Legal eagles advise “lol no, also you should take your dog to a vet”.

Idiot neighbor actually files a lawsuit. It does not go well.

That's fantastic, people who fly these things need to understand how dangerous they actually are. There was a case in the UK where a guy lost control of one of the little ones and it nearly removed his neighbors toddlers eye.

In a less sinister application, Twitter has those stats running constantly to see when a certain User Agent profile drops off from tweeting because the app or site is broken for them. Fewer than 1% of people will reach out to tell you that your site is hosed and from that, Maybe 1% of those people will know that mentioning their browser, OS and version is important to help unfuck the site.

It likely ties in to back when Twitter was really starting to take off (`09, `10) and was pushing all sorts of third-party apps at the time. The app used to tweet was displayed with every tweet on the main site so you could, in theory, discover new stuff that way. Then Twitter decided that actually maintaining control over everything was better, so they removed all that third-party BS and pushed people to use the official apps.

I'm honestly surprised that the client metadata hasn't been stripped yet.

Jim Sterling is a chunky monkey, theres no two ways about that, but yeah the general demeanour/outfit/podium with red and black flag/overblown arrogance are very much him playing up the stereotype ironically. He's one of the very very few vidyagame youtubers I have any time for and the Digital Homicide lawsuit has been a saga worth following.

This isn't just London. This is every school in England when the teacher leaves the classroom for more than ten minutes, and then comes back in to bollock everyone when it became obvious that chaos ensued in his absence.

Its loving hilarious, and that final segment is perfect for this thread.

That would imply Jim Sterling has agility and strength.

But seriously, skip to 1:30 in the video and marvel at the stupidity of two idiots who thought Jim talking poo poo about their 'game' was a violation of Fair Use because they believed doing so was unfair.
