Seems like he was a really young, inexperienced guy who got taken in by the promise of making money and jumpstarting his career. Can't say I wouldn't have accepted the same offer. And yaeh, Illuminaughtii is just posting though it. Doesn't seem to be tweeting, though.

Honestly, I'm still stuck on the fact that she replies to herself using sockpuppets to poo poo talk her former collaborators.

Can we just obliterate the conspiracy/grifter takedown channels except Munecat's and let her have the whole space to convert into an EDM disco hall?

One of the more bizarre buried ledes here is that she wanted to have this kid as a tenant, so she could become a landlord. She wanted to be his landlord, employer, and holder of the title of the vehicle he was driving.

It's also the only way her bizarre purchase of the BMW for him made sense, the payments would have been another element of keeping control of him. Which is likely why she went with a goddamn new BMW rather than a sane, older used car.

She even tried to stick him for the depreciation of the car as he prepared to turn it in. I bet she felt so proud of herself for such a cold gently caress you move. Then she repossessed it and threw away all his possessions in it for his crime of visiting his family in Austin with it.

On a lighter note, thank you for watching the video I posted earlier. :)

The fact that she texted him about coming to take the car at 3am and when she didn't get a response....hmm, where have I heard that before?

She wanted to be a bunch of people's landlords, if I remember correctly. She was trying to get a neighborhood built so that her employees could buy the homes from her or something? Given how she treated Wonder I feel like that neighborhood would be like an HOA on crack where if you go an extra week without mowing your lawn she make a snarky aside about you in one of her videos to her millions of followers

I tend to forget Notch was married.
Did his whole meltdown/starting to be actively terrible start after the divorce? Cause he certainly isn't the most terminally divorced billionaire on the net any more.

True. Elon has outstripped him by a country mile, but I do think of Notch whenever I hear 'money doesn't buy happiness' because all it got Notch was puttering around the lonely halls of his McMansion with rotting candy in the walls because nobody would visit and his neighbors certainly don't want him to visit.

Notch left all his family and friends to start a new life in beverly hills for some reason, I understand the issue with people having a hard time relating to you if you're a nuevo-rich tech-billionare from both your new neighbors and your old friends but I'm certain he would've been happier if he just didn't leave his old life behind, sure, he might not have had many friends before but he did have someone I gather.

He could've started a new company with that money or be an indie-game investor, he could've been so much more but instead he chose to move away from everything and sulk in his mansion.

I don't know what he does nowadays, if he still lives in the US or if he has new friends or whatever but if I where him I'd start rehabilitating my image, get some help from a shrink and start doing something useful with all that money.

Because he is a misanthropic Nazi driven by resentment, Notch will not do any of those things.

They've said accounts with uploaded videos won't be deleted. And I'd say an ominous "for now..." but I don't see how deleting unused accounts won't buy them enough storage space to not have to increase the deletion reach. Still sucks, though.

They're not deleting the accounts for storage, they're deleting them because gmail is a major source of compromised accounts generating spam. Which is good, all you have to do is break in before two years is up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NREzIye0cE this is very worth the watch along those lines if you've never seen it

e: oh, one note. there's a part in the video where it talks about a guro hentai image of a girl with her body parts chopped apart in a box. this is explicitly not shown in the video, but it's mentioned because it's an important part of the map it's in. (it's a landmark) it's not explicitly described just i made the mistake of looking up what it was out of curiosity and yep that sure is a lady with dismembered body parts image.

not engaging with that image does not ruin your enjoyment of the actual video and what it's covering. it's the only thing like that in the entire map series.

im familiar with the image bc it used to be a shock image in rotation back in the ancient times but ive always wondered where the gently caress it came from. the only full version of its ive seen has a rotten.com watermark, which shows how ancient it is. it like erupted from the ether out of nowhere fully formed and gross. anyway youre right that no one needs to see it. i forgot abt this map ty.

The one that still haunts me is motorcycle.jpg, a guy with his jaw torn off and his nose down just a bloody mess after presumably a motorcycle accident. His eyes looked so dead I wonder if it was a dummy but gently caress tempting fate by looking that up.

Meatspin wasn’t anime, leekspin is anime while being a parody of meatspin. It was frequently used as a bait-n-switch link in the same way as meatspin in IRC to be a surprise for those expecting the latter. Thus calling it adjacent

That's a fun topic:

Rose of Versailles was my first tape anime piracy.

You're Under Arrest! was my first online anime piracy.

Either Sexy Commando Gaiden or Jungle Wa Istumo Hare Nochi Guu! FINAL was my last anime piracy of either kind.

Assuming fansubs count as piracy, if not it was an 8MB realvideo file of the second episode of NGE after buying a $30 tape that contained a single loving episode.
