I've had that happen to me before, in my old 93 Honda Civic. Kinda terrifying, especially on the highway.

Getting off the highway with snow smeared on the windshield without any wiper blades was almost more of a white knuckle experience than getting hit with the ice.

Try having your hood flip up on you. I had it happen twice in a 95 Civic when it was around 10 years old. Didn't break the windshield, thankfully. But gently caress that's terrifying.

The whole company's gone dark ever since launch. They were expecting the sheer scale of the game to hide the lack of live multiplayer for long enough to get away with not including it, but the missing feature was discovered on day 1 because gamers are incredibly good at doing insane poo poo like that. And multiplayer isn't like other game features. It's not selling a car with a missing cupholder, it's selling a mountain bike by promising that it's a car. See also: Brutal Legend, the action-adventure game that is actually a super-shallow RTS when you get past the first level or so.

Except Brütal Legend is actually good. :goonsay:

I have some schadenfreude from furry twitter, but not sure if y'all wanna see the detailed tweets.

The short version of the story. Anthrocon, probably the biggest furcon in the world, currently, told a "comedian" (2 the Ranting Gryphon) that he won't be getting the main stage this year. He's been doing it for I have no idea how many years now, gonna guess at least 15 there alone, not to mention other cons.

Twittersphere blows up thinking that he's banned from the con and/or they told him to gently caress off because he uses triggered and racist jokes, basically acting like a right wing politoon embodied. But the likely/probable reason is that he's just been doing it forever, so the board of the con wanted to give someone new a chance. And that he's not banned from the con, obviously.

Also apparently he tried to gin up sympathy saying that a popular fursuit maker/creator of a popular suit/species (there's hundreds of copycats now) called him in tears saying she doesn't feel safe now for SOME REASON.

There's more to it, but that's the short version of the story.

I have my reasons for knowing these strange things.

And, that's the gist of the story really.

Here's his response video, apparently. I have no interest in watching it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0rjD3gPy8U

And here's the tweet what started it all.
https://twitter.com/2_gryphon/status/841887167374864384

Do note that the tweet he's replying to comes from an account that last tweeted 8/10/2015, and the latest tweet doesn't mention him. So it's kinda suspicious.

e - also the 'tried to gin up sympathy' part. I don't have proof of said phonecall, or the suit makers feelings. All I know for sure is she's apparently a fan of his. So it's entirely possible said phonecall DID happen. Also it's a little ironic the character she made is named Telephone.

Well, you've got a link to his youtube :v:.

I'd compare him to the guy who does Foamy the Squirrel. He's STILL putting out content apparently. But it's the same sort of meandering ranting.

Also apparently he wanted to be an artist back in the day, according to a friend. But he stopped that after a dude he was crushing hard on said no.

Bringing up more furry drama. That comedian guy is still whining.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6-taH_xUW4

The board's response still remains from before, 'We're giving new acts and events that are growing in popularity the main stage. Also you were never banned from the con.' Yet people are taking it that way. Doesn't help whiny comedian is fanning those flames.

Hot takes from the comments. 'Someone should doxx the programming director' and 'Someone should shoot "the human being in charge" of the con for this.' The guy in charge of the con is a good friend of said comedian, they've been on stage together many many times, and he was one of the few people on the board that wanted the comedian's show to stay.

e - fixed quotes for clarity. 'quotes' are summaries, "quote" is a direct quote.

I can't find a video, but Devin Townsend's music mix that plays prior to his metal genre shows includes We Like to Party and Barbie Girl. The groans are hilarious, especially if the crowd is there for another act and don't know Devin's persona.

He also did a big show at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall that played the entire album of his 50's style Alien Invaders parody story called Ziltoid the Omniscient complete with mascots of aliens that resemble a scrotum and move themselves by farting! I think it's awesome and metal is awesome especially if it pokes fun at itself.
