It's from a Canadian news reporter talking about a politician "calling him a cuck on twitter" which in 2016 was so hilariously bizarre to hear on tv but now is depressingly common.

Goose ascended to his final form when he convinced himself he has 150 iq and should be a billionaire some day. He's a cwc you don't have to feel bad about making fun of, but drat does he know a lot about goldeneye
Yea, I get the reference, the video was his sub alert. Its just that its not funny, and if it is funny, just do it, don't make it some stupid dare. Its like his brain thought it was funny but somehow knew it was dumb and bad at the same time.

As an American cityslicker there's something very adorable to me about a Canadian guy's attempts to be as edgy as possible and the worst horrors he's come up with to commits against his victims tweeting cuck, supporting Donald Trump and being straight edge...No one is spared his wrath...:ohdear:

I miss when being edgy meant being a brooding lame teen with just a tinge of pent-up aggressiveness and not spouting horrendous rhetoric about The Gays And The Colored, just like I miss when trolling meant making other people look stupid instead of being stupid yourself and somehow being convinced that people are angry of you because they don't get it instead of it being just because you're obnoxious as gently caress (not you beep, just in case this gets misinterpreted).

Goddamn, you're not even wrong, edgy teens used to be all about tits, blood and sticking it to the establishment (especially organized religion), now that we talk more about sexuality, violence on the media has been normalized and most people don't give a gently caress if you don't go to the church every Sunday, they're actually becoming conservative assholes.

Your president is Donald Trump because of that arms race and you just had literal Nazis marching around because of it too, mine has just taken off half of workers' rights in a year, Congress passed a law allowing the psychological treatment of homossexuality and now they're about to make ANY sort of abortion illegal. There's an even worse type than Trump too making good leeway on preliminary polls for next year.

The Internet is real, this ain't 2001, everyone's in it. poo poo ain't apocalyptic but the whole detached "it's just joke" thing doesn't work anymore because we're actively walking back a lot of the progress we did make due to that bullshit. Not sayin' you should care or that you're part of the problem, but that's a fact. Anyway, this ain't the place to discuss that, it invariably ends badly and I'm too bored to take a sixer right now soooo...vote for Half 2018.

I don't think we disagree with too much here, honestly and thanks for the civil reply. My thoughts are that general internet shittery is still very much disconnected from the real world and I think it's a waste of time to try to compile lists of who's bad and who's good as many waste their precious time doing (*not* saying you do this, just an example of responses I see to edgelords). I genuinely do not think the ratio of bad people to google people is in some sort of decay as many seem to be afraid of- which is kinda where my entire point is coming from. To me those elements are always going to be there, always. But I think a lot of this is cyclical and sadly rests on what's trendy and what's not trendy (people are attracted to both). I would promise you almost anything this pendulum is going to swing the opposite direction in the next few years when everyone inevitably gets tired of the constant hysteria and this bubble we're in finally loving bursts up here. This isn't something big I meant to get into to hash out with our fists out on the internet streets but it def was on me to expand a little bit on what I meant by a post I wrote standing on a packed train while I had signal for 2 minutes over the bridge :v:

Those have gotten super rare but they're fun when they crop up.

They're incredibly rare. Usually what happens is a seed generates an edge case that's never been encountered before and they then update the logic to exclude it.

Whenever people complain about not liking a run in the GDQ threads it usually leads to some derail about something else entirely that turns out to be silly and worth it. I'm okay with that.

It was a known edge case of the updated logic where the bow happens to be in the backside of Palace of Darkness and you could by chance keylock yourself out of there. It just happened they both did the same unlucky route.

People wanted to go ahead with v27 anyway so they announced in advance that if a race just so happens to get this particular softlock, it would be rescheduled. I just don't think they expected it to actually happen.

Twitch records everything: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/202151024

Note that: The players key locked themselves, different routing within PoD would have prevented this. They also could have done the hammer jump to unlock themselves, but that's a sequence break that the randomizer logic doesn't require.

This is hilarious. Even better that Alucard was calling it, I'll be honest, I'll watch any Alucard or PhantomRyu commented match and there's been some interesting matches I've just turned off because the commentary is poor.

I wish the Super Metroid commentators were better, it's interesting but it's hard to get as excited about it as you can with LTTP.

I think that my favorite part is that you can see someone in chat call it roughly 30 minutes before it's confirmed. Incredibly entertaining to watch

That's more 'a stopped clock is right twice a day' type poo poo. Randomizer chat loves to guess at the worst possible situations all the time. There was no way to know the bow was inside the PoD maze until other places had been checked if you wweren't looking at the spoiler logs.

I'm really curious what the mathematically worst/trolliest seed would end up being. Has anyone done any analysis on the probability of certain kinds of seeds (i.e. pedestal required, aga required, etc.)

Was this the one where they both did a blind pedestal pull and the pedestal turned out to be...nothing and the seed required you to double dip in turtle rock?
