Nuns with Guns posted:I don't know about EU law, but it looks like the issue is he bought a "business computer." Aka: your highly disposable office PCs. That's why it didn't come with a wifi card, and also likely why it had plain hard disk drives. They're mass trash Dell sells to businesses who don't give a poo poo. He said Dell support advised he only had a 2-week warranty because of it, so maybe there's a loophole in EU laws related to that? He actually bought a high end workstation machine, the kind of PC that in a business environment it's made for would never touch a wifi network and would be specced out for the task it needs to perform by people who know what specs it needs for that task. I don't want to blame a victim (and he is definitely a victim of terrible customer support), but the video is a good example of what happens when someone who has no idea what they're doing does no research before spending a lot of money.

that's not just death it's a semi-permanent debuff you have to go out of your way to cleanse that alters difficulty post-revival. you have to regain divine light to get to some higher difficulty content.

Also while Civvie only showed off like his favorites mostly, there's a lotta weapons in Cruelty Squad and drat the weird G11 in it rules, thermal scope burst rifle that just saws through people is one of my standbys.

This is one of the few times I've bounced off a cool, niche game that people liked. It's just too ugly and hard to navigate, I ain't got it in me to plow through that.

Grouchio posted:I think the producers of the Well Theres Your Problem podcast hate life in general. I have never listened to one of their podcasts before, but the two minutes I listened to this for, all I did was start shouting, "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP." What is it with extremely online leftists being so unbelievably insufferable? There's plenty of them that put out great work, but I would loving loathe being in their company for more than a minute because they come off as utterly unbearable on their social media.

While the premise of that show sounds like it would be right up my alley the execution puts me off. The facts are interesting and I would love to listen to them but they're constantly interrupted with bad non-insightful jokes which lead me to just get annoyed at the co-hosts. It's too bad the Donoteat channel basically stopped uploading because all of his focus ended up on this podcast. I guess it's easier to produce for him and more fun because it's just him talking with his friends for an hour or two.

What is it with extremely online leftists being so unbelievably insufferable? As long as you post some minorly funny dunks on Twitter apparently you can get away with being a huge piece of poo poo and manage to find your way onto every single podcast on this entire wretched Plague Island. Seriously, beyond being a massive piece of poo poo it's truly obnoxious how ubiquitous Alice is on the UK podcasting scene. Can't loving escape her and her "I wanna be a cop so I can be a sadist piece of poo poo when society collapses" mindset.

Alice is fine and her willingness to own her own lovely posts puts her at a significantly more elevated moral position than most of the people who have spent the last year harassing her, and indeed most of the people in this threadSteelMentor posted:Can't loving escape her and her "I wanna be a cop so I can be a sadist piece of poo poo when society collapses" mindset. For example: the thing SM is talking about here is a bit where Alice had a severe depressive episode and went off her meds for an extended period, and part of that self destructive cycle involved posting some extremely blackpilled poo poo on Twitter about how they wanted to do something, literally anything, to try and make the world better, all of which she’s repeatedly apologized for since going back on her medication. Actually acknowledging that doesn’t play well when trying to stir up drama though so it conveniently gets dropped from the story whenever it gets told

I don't know about any of this cop poo poo but the harassment campaign about that woman who needed to evict her rapist wasn't, to my knowledge, apologized for in the slightest.

Nor was it the first or last time that she's picked out other Transwomen for harassment. It happens like every other month.

Apparrently making bad posts on twitter makes you such a terrible person that everyone must disown you. Like that's it, afaik Alice has never done anything terrible IRL. It's all just bad posts. And she's fine on the podcasts she's on, if you like that style of humor. That level of anger is usually reserved for people like Jontron, an actual white supremacist.

Donoteat used to make amazing videos but Well There's Your Problem is downright terrible. DNE's co-hosts add nothing but dull banter that takes away from the actual subject of the podcast and they have the lamest sense of humour imaginable. I want Franklin back.

Look even if you for some reason don't believe she's harassed the people you can literally go and read her harassing on twitter we know two concrete facts and that Alice is both British and an Adult Convert to a religion so we can safely say she's incredibly annoying.
