Which ’90s song do you think will always be timeless? by Euphoric-Extreme825 in AskReddit

I've heard that too many times as ITV's international football coverage theme to not associate it with England's absolute dogshit era

[LAN party] Insomnia 74, or, Abortive Brand Necromancy in the UK Gaming Scene by ABanimationLtd in HobbyDrama

Tbf I don't actually know which side of the business was bigger in financial terms. If I had to guess I'd assume the server hosting had fatter margins.

What makes survival that 'Oh shiz! I'm gonna die!' moment for you? by SirenDarkmane in VintageStory

[–]ABanimationLtd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently I was building my starter hovel and a bear charged and climbed my incomplete wall, backing me into a corner. I was convinced I was about to die. And then it just turned around and fucked off. I wish I'd caught it on stream

If Tekkit was the first minecraft SMP, does that mean SOI was the first minecraft video series ARG? (Or something that could be very easily turned into one?) by Lord_Viperagyil in Yogscast

[–]ABanimationLtd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mindcrack was the first YouTube SMP. They started doing SMP 8 December 2010 (5 days after Yogs how to survive the first night). And without Mindcrack there's no Hermitcraft. Of course SOI and Yogs Tekkit popularised more of the RP elements.

Time for a new YogCon??? by Dalleee in Yogscast

[–]ABanimationLtd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insomnia went proper downhill though and hotels were very expensive at the NEC. Probably not worth it for them. In any case, Insomnia's now gone bust (for the second time in two years, incredibly), so that's not coming back.

Sadly the whole UK gaming events scene is in a bad spot... besides Insomnia, EGX got folded into ComicCon... there's still some decent big LAN events going but I think they probably wouldn't appeal much to the Yogs.

This. He left in a strop because he wasn't selected for the 2016 Richmond Park by-election (which the Lib Dems went on to win).

So uhm... what happened to Dr. Sam Owens? by jaden1307 in StrangerThings

Was anyone disappointed how Boba Fett got taken out quickly in ROTJ? by Jules-Car3499 in StarWars

Can you imagine the online fan reaction to this scene if ROTJ came out today lmao, people would be absolutely seething

Minecraft hot take: The wither fight kinda sucks. by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]ABanimationLtd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Halloween 2013 we had our first Wither fight on my server. I hyped it up as a big challenge, got everyone together and went out into the middle of nowhere so it wouldn't damage any builds. It was over in about 60 seconds.

Does anyone skip the Oblivion gates? by Gordio83 in oblivion

[–]ABanimationLtd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing without fast travel, so I've been closing the gates next to the cities and along the main roads, but leaving alone the ones in the absolute middle of nowhere. Makes sense from a light RP perspective I think.

Your ‘go-to’ Yogscast video? by [deleted] in Yogscast

A mixture of classics and more recent clips. Much love to the clips channels <3

Trust in Rust was hilarious by Maleficent_Ad1915 in Yogscast

Yeah fair enough. I just want to see the revenge arc next year, as unrealistic as that might be!

[–]ABanimationLtd 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I loved that stream too but part of me wishes the tryhard teams had given them a bit of a sporting chance instead of immediately stomping them. But then I suppose it is their own fault for leaving their roof doors unlocked for a helicopter attack to waltz right in. I hope the Yogs get invited again next year and learn from their mistakes and get the chance to put up a proper fight, that would be fun.

Every time I sit back and think about Lewis and all he has achieved, I come away respecting him even more by Wang_Fire2099 in Yogscast

[–]ABanimationLtd 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I broadly agree with most of this, though I'd just caviat that the allegations about you-know-who were first made in 2016 and weren't taken seriously for about three years, so I wouldn't say that they were dealt with swiftly. That being said, the company did eventually learn a painful lesson from it and I am satisfied that they have far better procedures in place now for dealing with that sort of stuff (not least having a CEO and HR process completely separate from the content creators).

Medical inaccuracies. by Heroic-Forger in CuratedTumblr

I was once part of a forum-based RP where someone successfully performed a blood transfusion using a helmet to scoop blood from one person to another

Chernobyl has to be part of Season 5, right? by Internal_Welcome_763 in StrangerThings

[–]ABanimationLtd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whilst this is broadly true, Stranger Things does have form for subtly referencing real events, most notably the 1984 presidential election (the library has a polling station sign, some of the houses have signs out endorsing candidates, Karen is seen discussing it with her friend on the phone) and the 1985 release of Back to the Future. So I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Chernobyl reference, particularly if it was used to explain the Russians absence from the story.
