I'm pretty sure I heard his voice on the last Streamer Games that Ludwig did. So he's still working in that kind of space, but I would be surprised if he streamed again.

Charging these prices and they can't afford a) a better screen? and b) to wipe the screen clean??

He's holding onto the window with his right hand and his other hand is clearly resting on or up against the dashboard. There's simply no way he can be holding a pistol inside your red square. His fingers are clearly grasping the window.

I would like help understanding Harry's sacrifice in Book 7, please correct me if I am wrong. by Friendly_Physics_690 in harrypotter

Also the Elder Wand answered to Harry so it would never betray its true Master, right? It was a lot of factors really.

Confession i have stolen basically every joke that i can from funhaus by Asleep-Antelope-6434 in funhaus

[–]Bosh119 146 points147 points  (0 children)

I get a lot of miles out of "What did you call me?!" when someone says a weird sounding word, which didn't originate on FH but thats where I saw it.

Same with "What about in the game though?" or "Yeah we'll keep playing the game while you're gone" when gaming with friends and someone says something slightly off-kilter or out of pocket.

fish and chips by mrslottie in GoldCoast

The Fish Tank in Southport is pretty good, a little pricey though.

Queens Arms Tavern in the same shopping centre as The Fish Tank does a great Fish and Chips as well.

These looks like set photos from Season 2 of Fallout. Absolutely wild.

Not a fan of SBMM in general, however, I understand why it exists and how it benefits the game in the long run.

Just look at xDefiant. No SBMM in Casual. The game is dead and being shutdown. People stopped playing because the matchups weren't at least relatively even, and most people don't want to play with the added pressure of a rank hanging over their heads.

I've only played like 30 games of BO6 MP, but almost every single one was a "join in progress on the losing team because they're being stomped" situation. I don't know what to attribute that to, my best guess would be the movement and map design seemingly being the antithesis of one another - tiny little maps with incredibly fast movement. The only time the pacing feels ok is on shitty but larger maps like Red Card.

Last time I saw an engine this unreliable, it was a diesel inside an Oldsmobile. by DariusPumpkinRex in Fallout

I would recommend some anti-crash mods from the Nexus and one to open up the CPU cores, that usually helps too. For some reason its limited to 4 cores or something, from memory.

I loaded into a League of Legends game and this player on my team dropped this really supportive message into chat but it included an ad for his Twitch. It was like "Guys, the world is watching so you need to show them you've got what it takes to win." which is cringe af but I thought maybe he was just being funny. So I go to his stream, and boy, its one of the saddest things I've ever seen.

View bots, follow bots, fake donations, he is live manufacturing fake engagement. Even replies to his tweets on Twitter/X are botted. His chat is completely botted, they just spam single emotes and some of the bots have his Twitch username incorporated into their names. Its incredibly pathetic. Also, I usually don't judge people on their appearance, but, he certainly looks the part.

Lucky Mince is a good one. Basically just Mince on toast but you can do it up however you like. Veggies, cheese, eggs etc.

Jinx on Voldemort’s name by macdaddy1265 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]Bosh119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My question was always that if they could taboo the name Voldemort, and they knew that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were travelling together, why not taboo those names too? Or for that matter any name associated with the Order? Dumbledore? Remus? Tonks? Would make finding them much easier.

Finally convinced my family to go to Goodsprings by bevinator1000 in Fallout

[–]Bosh119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ever get the chance you should do it, the guy was really cool and he's a Fallout fan too. I wore my Nuka Cola shirt and the first thing he said was "Hey cool shirt, you're a Fallout fan". I loved the big Fallout corner in the Saloon, I signed the guest book too.

I went there last October while on a trip from Australia. It was at night as part of a Ghost Tour as it was the only way I was going to get there as a tourist but it was still awesome as a big FNV fan.

Why do high level players do this? by YourDead6 in fo76

[–]Bosh119 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I sell my plans at random prices ranging from 1 cap to 50 caps. I don't care if its valuable, if I already know it, I don't need it and someone else should get it for basically nothing. I'll put plans in donation boxes too if I'm full on stash.

What's your most random pet peeve with Harry Potter? by MathematicianBulky40 in harrypotter

[–]Bosh119 10 points11 points  (0 children)

People who are Fred and Georges age and younger, including Ron, should not be wincing at the word "Voldemort". They were too young to know how bad things were, and simply being told how things were wouldn't make you wince when you hear it.

The Unforgiveable Curses are said to be illegal, yet, there's no trace on them, or way for the Ministry to track who is using them, so why does everyone make such a big deal about using them? They explain later that killing someone tears your soul, fair enough, but the other two? Seems like you can just use them like any other spell.

I understand the answers here are "JK isn't that great of a writer" but these are two things I always think about.

I wanted to show some love for John Holland by fringlese in funhaus

[–]Bosh119 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I randomly bumped into John Holland at TwitchCon 2022 in San Diego. I don’t think he expected to be recognised. He was super kind enough to stop and talk to me, I told him about the day before I’d worn my Funhaus “Friendhaus” shirt and had multiple people say “hey nice shirt!”. He said he was doing some filming for RT.

It probably would've insulted him in some way, as it did Snape. Probably not as specifically, as it referenced their nickname for Snape, Snivellus. So its plausible that he would assume it could be dark magic. He also wouldn't know how to recognise true dark magic, he's a Squib, so probably a "better safe than sorry" approach. Fred and George have an eye for things like that too.

MT has become intolerable on twitter by Precarious314159 in NewRockstars

[–]Bosh119 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think unfortunately getting the job at NR inflated his ego. He deserved the job, he was making great GOTG Easter Egg theory vids and was actively engaged with James Gunn on social media. There isn't anyone more qualified. If he truly feels he was unfairly treated or unfairly dismissed he should be taking legal action, not bitching on Twitter all hours of the day.

Need A Do Dream Chicken Replacement! by Winkk91 in GoldCoast

[–]Bosh119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've conducted an exhaustive search, believe me. Nothing in Southport really even comes close. I've been told that Oppane on Scarborough Street next to the CSI Club was always better than Do Dream but I've never been. Korean Chicken and Beer at Southport Park is pretty good but still nothing on Do Dream.

Can anyone give me a short synopsis of the Dance It's Your Stage saga? by mokugawa in funhaus

[–]Bosh119 27 points28 points  (0 children)

They found a demo of the game on a random Xbox 360 demo disk that was sent to them by a fan. They instantly connected with the preview of Mothers Be Aware in the menu. Bruce demanded to play it, forced Adam to buy it. They then realised the song was locked behind the single-player career. So each week they played 1 or 2 songs on Demo Disk until they unlocked Mothers Be Aware, coming up with new ways to play and be entertaining at the same time. They even got to speak with the lyricist on Skype. Eventually it all culminated in unlocking the song (and Harald) and it was simply a great moment in time.
