It was brought up before but Blizzard has indeed ended their licensing deals with Chinese gaming company NetEase and the Chinese servers for World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Overwatch have shut down. https://restofworld.org/2023/heartbroken-gamers-mourn-world-of-warcrafts-shutdown-in-china/ quote:When Liu heard rumors of Blizzard’s dispute with NetEase in late 2022, he didn’t think much of it. Blizzard would not give up a market as large as China, he believed. The country’s gaming market accounted for at least 3% of Activision’s net revenue in 2021, roughly $264 million in sales.

It would be the company openly supporting the use of a VPN, which is on-paper illegal if not particularly enforced except to pad out a conviction for another crime they actually care about. Xi hasn't Wolf Warrior'd a permit for Blizzard to sell their stuff without a rent-seeking Chinese company in-between, someone under him would probably outright ban Blizzard as antithetical to Jinping-Thought if they caught them openly supporting the breaking of the law rather than merely surreptitiously supporting it.

quote:“But I will not join another server because I don’t want Blizzard to get their way.” They needed to show Blizzard that Chinese gamers “have backbones, and cannot be disrespected,” Xinyuan Chen, another gamer from the Chang Sheng Tian guild, told Rest of World. my brother in taoism this was caused by your government not Blizzard

Every ID I've seen in Taiwan or China has had the exposure so blown out that people just look like a white blob with eyes. I always wondered what was even the point of photo IDs if everyone does that.

Well, I'm back to write about the Seoul modeling program. I had to take a hiatus due to some stressful illustration assignment, but developments happened, I'm now taking classes from a middleaged supermodel to get a walking teacher license myself. Major Bene Gesserit energy, like she was telling me to raise my humerus and getting pissed my trapezius was activating too much. So during the programs walking classes, if you'll remember it was 25 girls and 15 guys, we would line up along the red carpet in this long mirrored room. If you have ever been in a country fair where the little ducklings line up to slide down a slide it was like that but for walking. The lady teacher started us out doing this bizarre exagerrated thing I guess to get us coordinated where you had to really pull your trailing arm back and slide your front foot forward like pretending to ski. This is all while wearing dress shoes. I remember at the start they kept playing this repeat loop of a song where a guy kept chanting "I'm a black man in a white world" which me and the French girl (who is a black woman) kept chuckling cause it was so lost on our friends. As it went on we ended up learning a bunch of variations, like how to stop, how to stop and turn in the middle, the "fountain" where at the end you'll turn left or right depending on which way the person ahead of you went, walking in a rectangular path~ (this turned out to be useful for me because when you get to the corner you want to A. stay on beat when you turn and B. always turn by externally rotating the inside leg into the turn, rather than cross over with your outside leg, which is awkward. Doesn't matter though cause I had a casting 2 days ago and hosed up this exact way.) also,walking evenly spaced for a finale. There was more but thats pretty much it. Oh yeah also couple walking, matching somebody walking with you that sortof thing. It all basically came down to learning how to not be awkward or do any little spazzy unconscious things while walking, stopping, or turning. This all could be learned in like a week if they filmed us and had us watch ourselves. But no, it had to be done with a teacher vaguely critiquing us over the course of months. On mondays we had acting class from like a commercial actor guy who would come in, that was fun and involved alot of improv stuff and reading from scripts at the start. And I think it was tuesdays we had "bodytraining" where a fitness instructor would come in and we'd pull out the yoga mats to exercise. Fridays usually we would go out into the world to do something. Also there was a day a makeup instructor would come in and show us how to do our own makeup. This is where I witnessed one of the guys stare at his eyebrows for 15 minutes straight. Koreans gotta be the most perfectionist people about eyebrows I've ever met. Everyday we had to log a journal and it mainly involved bullshitting we had learned something, nothing was learned. We hungout on the roof alot, many of these kids were smokers, I'd always give them poo poo about that telling them it'd gently caress up their skin quality. We'd also do pullups on the concrete overhang out there, so some ajushi from one of the other companies in the building would walk out into some grunting, sweaty guy's belly when he wanted to take a smoke break. The company on the floor below us put signs on their bathrooms cause everybody kept coming down to take a poo poo in there, where it was more quite and peaceful. Later on the other side of the program really got their poo poo together and they started castings for the "live digital" shows. At this point the models were really lagging in spirit because it had been like 3 or 4 months of just dicking around, and listening to these long lectures of the guy teacher had worn thin from the first. The models were funny cause to describe them overall, they were not the type of Koreans who strived to be good students in school. Alot of rebels and most of them dressed in an early 90s grunge style. The majority were in their 20s, though a few of us were past the 30 mark. Good people, basically opposite from the types you'll meet teaching (at least from my experience, where there was alot of strict weirdos I couldnt make friends with)

He seemed like a dick I've seen him and Miracle pop up on the gram but never met either, the white guy seemed like a showboat to me. There are a few guys like that, kindof clownish when they get on tv. Its a pretty small world with the models and entertainers here, but enough to be flooded still. Whenever the Samsung and LG castings come around they probly listing up ~500 foreigner models in the running for those jobs

The one runway model I've met was very nice and chill and I think that successful models have to be nice and chill because their schedules are so weird and their career depends on people liking to work with them. Like I saw her IG wearing a clear plastic miniskirt and I thought, "she looks patient".

I'm expecting the Herlihy Boy skit from SNL with Xi as Chris Farley and Putin as Adam Sandler. Putin: Let me conquer Ukraine, please? I’ve already pushed all my things in the corner. That’ll be my little area. Please? I won’t bother you. You won’t even have to look at me. Please, let me conquer Ukraine, please? I’d like an answer, and I’d like that answer to be “yes”. Please? I’ve already invaded the Donbass. If you didn’t want me to conquer Ukraine, why’d you let me invade the Donbass? Just let me conquer Ukraine, please? Xi: Can we STOP this cruel game! And allow the boy to keep ONE shred of diginity! For God’s sake, I can’t STAND to see him in all this pain!! You VICIOUS BASTARDS!! Let him conquer Ukraine!! Is it so bad to see somebody happy?! So just let him CONQUER UKRAINE!! For the LOVE OF GOD, let the boy conquer Ukraine!! Good Lord!! McGavin fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Feb 22, 2023 |

It reads like a mission statement before an actual plan. "Soverignty is good. All countries should have it" OK...... so how do you use that logic to solve the current crisis? How does it apply to the current situation? Whay should countries do to ensure soverignty is respected? I WANT ANSWERS DAMNIT! E: this is not a serious post. My tongue is firmly in my cheek.
