My kneejerk reaction was "wtf kids are dumb who would be into this" but then I reflected that two arbitrarily opposed sides in constant violent conflict isn't all that different from Transformers, He-Man, or GI Joe; there's just no toy company behind the Skibidi Toilets and Camera Men animations.

What's missing is a bunch of characters with individual decos but gang-molded parts so you can convince kids (and 30-year-olds with disposable income) to "collect em all"

Eediot Jedi posted:

They can come in pairs. One will always roll six, one die will always roll one. If someone challenges your magic 6 die, you switcheroo the magic 6 die for the magic 1 die, roll, and say "See!"


E: the dice are weighted to be magic. putting the dice in salt water is how to test them, anything will float if there is enough salt in the water to be more dense than the object is, weighted dice will float with their cheating face up, normal dice will show random faces. In the story the cheater used the dice to get first turn, by the third/fourth game the opponent was suspicious and told a ref. The opponent blusters about how offended they are, says gently caress this, they'd rather concede than have their honour impugned. The ref said we'd need salt water to test for sure, the opponent leaves to go buy salt.

While waiting the cheater goes to the toilet. When the opponent comes back, and the cheater is back, the cheater goes "what dice?" Someone thinks lol wait if they were weighted, the dice wouldn't make it around the s bend in a toilet, and goes to check the toilet stalls.

2nd e: I like this story because you could technically say the opponent was being salty.

I don't understand why he wouldn't have some identical looking normal dice and pull a switcheroo when it looked like he might get confronted. But I guess someone smart enough to think of that isn't going think they'll be smart enough to get away with using loaded dice at a tournament.

man of my word costs me

I mean I assume he would have identical normal dice, you'd have to be an idiot to bring special loaded dice you only roll once then never again, but we might not be dealing with the best and brightest. I also assume that if you're going to bother testing one die in the salt water, may as well test all the identical ones.

The reason they're paired is to offset the small chance that an identical normal die might naturally roll a 6 when proving, then naturally roll 6 again when proving that. It's unlikely but possible. You're trying to cut off further investigation right there.

E: the story could also just be bullshit made up by someone throwing some dice in the toilet and taking a picture. I didn't fact check this, just regurgitated it as best I could.

Here's a short video that goes over the weighted dice cheater stuff

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfR5NLayyxM

But from the sounds of it in the video below, the cheater actually threw the dice in the shitter after he was busted while the guys in the first video say he did it before anyone confirmed they were weighted...

Either way, pretty funny stuff.

The previous was only his girlfriend, they never got married. They split shortly after their twins were born, bit I have no idea why. All the Reddit drama posts were deleted.

And I'm not sure if he's dating the new co-host or not, but she showed up almost immediately after the breakup.

I made a smart rear end comment on a video once and she replied "Dude, I'm just doing a job. Please don't." So I deleted the comment. So maybe it's just employee/employer. Also, who cares really?

Idly speculating whether an influencer is dating his co-host is a far cry from OSINT analysis of telephoto shots of celebrities on vacation present in all UK tabloids.

Besides if you don't want randos on the Internet commenting on your social life make like a faceless Asian youtuber and don't post any of that poo poo online. The faceless youtubes are invariably superior in any case since they're not relying on a pretty face to sell their channel and need to actually have some skill.

that first tyranid from the video earlier with the Rice Krispies glued on looks quite bad. The extra stuff doesn’t add anything to the model, it just seems like an extra step for the sake of an extra step.

I’ve seen other videos that just use sprue goo and texture paint and those always look much better and more organic, and they’re way less troublesome to use

Also leaving your wife after she gave birth to your twins is a major dirtbag move lol so gently caress that guy
