Most people are just conflict-avoidant which is probably for the best because the exceptions are huge aggro assholes, but it does mean that people are strongly inclined to not speak up even if something stinks. Especially if the interaction is private and/or 1-to-1, people doubt themselves, or they think that it's not a big deal that's worth making a fuss. That's why announcing a big countdown to die was the inciting incident, because everyone expressing grief was too obnoxious for Slowbeef to ignore.
Yeah, I think a lot of people think "none of my business" especially if they're on the periphery and never heard any of this insane PMC poo poo, or they only vaguely knew he was ex-military and otherwise a well-regarded figure in the community. Plus he ran damage control and reacted really badly to someone who was a friend of his questioning "Hikkiari" even slightly. It's unlikely someone who was paying money to be in his Patreon (where most of the most unhinged poo poo was apparently being posted) would've gotten much traction from speaking up, plus nobody wants to be the guy who says "You know the tragic figure with a daughter who died traumatically? Yeah he seems full of poo poo" just in case there's that tiny chance you're wrong.

Apparently this has been an open secret in various spaces, see: the twitter, Kiwifarms (ugh) thread, et al, and it really just took someone with enough clout and visibility to step up and say "hey man" for everyone to collectively start piecing it together.

I think what I'm most curious about now is where he's going to go from here, tbh. Will he come clean? Will he keep roleplaying as an Asian woman? Is he gonna pivot to another character entirely and try to rebuild a following elsewhere?

Just one of those things you'd love to see from the inside and understand from all angles, but you never will. Cannot imagine how much mental effort went into keeping all the details straight and roleplaying with himself across multiple accounts.

I really dislike how in the Mass Effect and Dragon Age games all of the party members think the main character is the best poo poo since sliced bread after like two conversations tops. There's little to no interpersonal drama or opportunity to gently caress things up and make people dislike you, other than a couple of Big Important Story Choices like with Wrex etc. You're just The Protagonist and so everyone likes you by default. I haven't played Baldur's Gate 3 yet but I have heard it's similar in that respect.

This is a few pages late (fuckin thread moves too fast) but I really enjoyed Hubert in Fire Emblem: Three Houses for this. Everyone else is like "haha, you're the best, teach, i trust you with my life" but dude just loving loathes you and in fact the way everyone else trusts you makes him even MORE suspicious of you. Yeah the A-support kinda abruptly goes to him saying he'd devote his life to you if he could, even after the two prior supports were mostly about plotting the best way to kill your rear end but you still get the feeling he's constantly keeping an eye on you. In Three Hopes he admits that he was fully ready to kill your rear end at any given moment.

I just think every single video game should have at least one Guy Who Hates Your Guts Unless You Devote Your Time To Softening Him Up A Bit And Even Then You're On Thin loving Ice. I understand video games are power fantasies to some degree, I like it when people are nice to me in video games, but I think it's arguably a lot more effective when you have a crew member just WAITING for an excuse to stab you.

10 pages late to the dbd discussion re: pride flags on meat hooks, but one thing you may not understand is that the dead by daylight community is incredibly noxious. some of the worst and most entitled people alive in gaming. thus I take small joys where I can. sometimes that means making sure the horrible little goblins being placed on meat hooks understand that the pinhead currently ruining their fun is a proud lesbian

got called homophobic slurs in endgame chat once because a guy ate poo poo and died and none of his idiot friends could save him

it also leads to really sweet interactions like a survivor gesturing you over and pointing at your pride flag and nodding really eagerly. then you notice the matching flag on their belt. i always let them go when they do this :kimchi:

i will never play DBD because i dont enjoy that style of game but the Shape Stalks playing when Michael starts powering up is cool as hell

Myers rules. part of his whole gimmick is you can't hear him coming at the start of the game so he just stands there breathing heavily and stalking you until you notice. it's genuinely terrifying and I have yelped into the microphone on more than one occasion

unfortunately he has been power crept to gently caress and everyone can agree he's absolute poo poo tier unless you use some very specific broken combos. for those who may be curious about other licenses, Freddy Krueger is also poo poo tier, arguably below Myers. Ghostface isn't great. Bubba is mid. Cenobite/Pinhead is a pubstomper who falls off at high level. Chucky and Wesker are well regarded as A tier.

Sadako is a confusing and conflicting mess with a long and troubled patch history who has had so many reworks no one knows how to play against her or even as her anymore and you will get a different response depending on who you ask. personally my opinion is "most Sadakos play like huge assholes and I don't care what tier she is"

Should have had them lead you to their lovely teammates so you could fully reenact The Hellbound Heart
if it's down to only two survivors left alive and Teammate A is hiding and crouching everywhere hoping Teammate B dies (there's an emergency escape hatch that only appears when 1 survivor is left) while Teammate B is actually still trying to play the game, progress the objectives and take risks etc, I'll absolutely try to get Teammate B to sell Teammate A out then once I'm done killing the coward I'll let B escape.

For anyone who is equally confused, I saved you a Google. It just means DCing (e.g. unplugging your Ethernet cord) when your opponent is about to win and you're about to lose. Relevant because W/L counters are a thing, also matchmaking so you can just avoid losing to climb rank.

I haven't tried to play a fighting game in some 15 years and I don't want to claim to be smarter than a game dev or something but I feel like it would be really easy to prevent this phenomenon by simply making it so that if you DC it counts as a loss for you and a win for your opponent. Like that seems like the easy counterplay here and I'm not sure why you wouldn't do that.

You could say it makes it easy to throw rank to smurf against newbies but it's also easy to, you know, AFK at your controller :confused:

I cannot imagine being the type of person who is both a bigot and so invested in bigotry as a piece of their personality that they drag it into every space they inhabit, even the one that costs them $10 to speak in

Like god what a sad loving life. I guess it's worth it to them to have a neverending stream of YouTube white men patting them on the rear end telling them they're a brave counterculture warrior owning the libs by existing or whatever

I left a steam review for RE6 that was very short, just a joke saying I liked it basically. Someone went on my profile and saw that I was openly a nonbinary lesbian and said something in the comments like "of course one of You People is defending capcom" or some poo poo, like obvious bait while trying to not be explicit about what he was saying so he couldn't be reported for it.

I deleted it and left a comment on his profile in return like "L+your genitals are ugly". He left a 'joking' comment in response saying his genitals definitely weren't ugly and then more comments trying to play it off like a cool puppetmaster but sounding more than a little bothered that I was just deleting his comments and not engaging with him beyond that first comment saying his genitals were ugly

guess his genitals were ugly

remember when lavender brown was black in several movies until she had an onscreen role in the plot and as a potential love interest at which point she was replaced by a white actress

https://twitter.com/MrPooni/status/536201137838624768

but considering the name racism perhaps it was better in the long run that the character named lavender brown was not in fact a black woman

e; i think you can separate that stuff, i like the who and all those old rock bands even though theyre all pedophiles

e2: if you cant seperate art from the artists or whatever the hell the saying is there really wouldnt be anything left to enjoy except Infinite Jest and The Bible

yeah like I love mindless self indulgence even if the lead singer is and has always been a tool who thinks the n word is funny and maybe a sex pest. it's a band whose music meant a lot to me growing up and still does and I can't ignore that (sorry if thats cringe to the viewers). but jk rowling is so loudly transphobic to a huge audience to the point that she's influenced actual legislation and lobbying against trans people though which I can't say for jimmy urine so it makes it harder for me to enjoy

it's all a matter of personal and often irrational boundaries at the end of the day. like I'm just now starting to leave Twitter, typing this on a phone with a cobalt battery, whatever. I'm not the kind of person who is going to yell at people for enjoying harry potter or wearing a Slytherin scarf. but when I look at the series now it makes me a lil sad

i used to get really twisted up about whether people thought the music i listened to was good or bad but i came to the conclusion that i often can't tell what people think is good apart from what people think is bad when it comes to music for whatever reason, unless it's like comically bad. maybe I just have bad taste? i tried to fix that and it didn't do anything. the only thing it did was make me feel bad about listening to things I enjoy. and I didn't like that so I stopped worrying about it

so like yeah probably the music I liked and continue to like is bad. no argument there. that's ok though. I like it. and i think enjoying stuff you like is good

Hitler farted constantly. Huge fetid gas clouds that ruined meetings and embarrassed Germany internationally. It's lol

looked this up and apparently he was being prescribed poo poo by a quack doctor to treat this, such as rat poison and nightshade

quote:

Among the first to suspect that Morell’s drug cocktails, if not directly responsible for Hitler’s ills, were at least making them worse, was Dr. Erwin Giesing, who decided to actually examine the contents of the doctor’s favourite anti-gas pills. What he discovered shocked him: the active ingredients on the tin included strychnine, commonly used in rat poison, and atropine, another toxin used as a heart medication. While Morell had only prescribed two pills per meal, Hitler ate them like candy, taking as many as six at a time. Was it possible that Hitler was being slowly poisoned by his gut pills? When informed of the pills’ contents, Hitler was unfazed, explaining: “I myself always thought they were just charcoal tablets for soaking up my intestinal gases, and I always felt rather pleasant after taking them.”

as someone who once had an injection of atropine and can confidently say it was one of the worst things I've ever felt in my life I feel very :shepface: reading this
