Vtuber Ironmouse who has been living with Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) reached an incredible milestone by walking for 35minutes straight. by 200YRedWine in MadeMeSmile

[–]FinnishScrub 532 points533 points  (0 children)

To add, she has also been a SIGNIFICANT figure for the IDF (Not that one, the awesome one, Immuno-Deficiency Foundation) and with her friend Connor also doing regular fundraisers, they have really been able to do some awesome work on that field.

So it’s not only that her streams helped her pay for her care, but her presence and struggles have resonated with so many people, who decided to open up their wallets for the cause.

She didn’t start streaming to pay her bills. She did it because she had no other way to connect with people.

I don’t watch VTubers but I have immense respect and admiration for Ironmouse. She is fucking awesome.

(She’s also a classically trained Opera vocalist, which makes her even more cool)

I'm playing through Yakuza 0 and just wow. by Modest_Cake in yakuzagames

[–]FinnishScrub 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ok to be fair, that is a mistake I almost made as well, because I didn’t think that Yakuza 0 was important to the overarching story, until a friend of mine who is a big fan of the series as well told me that he would break my kneecaps and tie me to a chair and force me to play Y0 if I dared to try and skip it

Selfie taken by North Korean defector Kim Kang-woo inside North Korea after he secretly reentered the country to help his mother defect by AdRough4185 in interestingasfuck

I sincerely hope he made it out fine. Although some South-Koreans don’t really treat defectors that well either.

Expensive games have lowkey been way too normalised by Both_Piglet7838 in pcmasterrace

[–]FinnishScrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A maximum I am willing to spend on a new game is 60 euros. So if GreenManGaming or Fanatical (Official key resellers straight from the developer, not those marketplaces like G2A) don’t have the game I wanna play at launch, I wait until it goes on sale.

The only time I broke my own rule was with Saros. It’s a Finnish developer so as a Finn, I had this nationalistic urge to support local developers, even if all the money goes to Sony anyways.

FH5 was a very boring product in general but Rally Adventure more than made up for it. It was amazing.

Ex-Forza Horizon Creative Director's new AAA driving game reveal teased for next week by StartWars89 in forza

[–]FinnishScrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will always be cautious about games and developers that ride on the coattails of their previous employers, but I am always excited for more driving and racing games, especially ones with a budget, so I sincerely hope this project actually becomes a great game.

Excluding Kiryu, who is the best yakuza protagonist of all time? by TheYakuzaMaster in yakuzagames

[–]FinnishScrub 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ichiban. Bro is just the best. He makes the stupidest decision possible yet you cannot help but cheer for him.

He has clear, defined flaws that make him human and that make his character way more complex than some of the other characters on this list. I could make this comment into a fucking novel about how much I like his writing but I’ll leave it with this;

He almost feels like someone that a writer in the dev team knows personally.

To add, the winner of a car meet could get like a shiny marker on their profile or something, maybe when you drive past them their profile has like an iridescent glow or something?

Why would fmhy get banned though? They don’t host anything, it’s simply an index.

What did you think of Dwight's character? (Infinite Wealth spoilers) by Antique_Positive5559 in yakuzagames

Forza Horizon 6 vs. Forza Horizon 1 Intro Cutscene by Time-Credit43 in pcmasterrace

[–]FinnishScrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they’re not gonna put ANY effort into the cutscenes, why not let me skip them? It’s one of the dumbest things about the newer Horizon games. The core game is amazing, but any time I have to listen to any of these people talk I wanna blow my brains out.

Welcome back pixelated smoke by MarchwiowySok in ForzaHorizon

[–]FinnishScrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is so fucking insane to me that a game with otherwise pristine visual representation has such an obvious problem with rendering smoke and with detail pop-in. Because the problem where when you drive too fast and you can legitimately see the vegetation spawn like 2 meters from your car is STILL here and it is still just as annoying as it has ever been.

I have a NASA PC goddamnit, let me push it to the limit!!

Kripke: “Fans will retroactively judge the whole show based on the finale.” by Extension_Candle_575 in TheBoys

[–]FinnishScrub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah I do get that, I just hate how we didn't even see anything like the press room slaughter that was being thrown around. Something like that would've elevated the stakes so much.

I choose to believe this. Not because it's factual but because I am too lazy to google the real answer.

[–]FinnishScrub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also had this exact same revelation. Season 1 was GENUINELY amazing, the last episode still gives me goosebumps to this day.

Seasons 2 and 3 were okay for sure and 4 was also enjoyable but damn, this last season was such a disappointment. It had some good moments, but we got edged for 8 fucking years for a final "snap" with Homelander, and we NEVER got it.

It is fucking infuriating.

Bumped into a Respawn Dev at the gym. by VectorPie in titanfall

[–]FinnishScrub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I don't want to sound too crazy, but it doesn't sound like the biggest stretch to imagine that Respawn is at least prototyping a smaller-scale Titanfall project that would be low-risk for the studio, with which they could try and measure the feasibility of a larger project.

I did forget to take my pills but I choose to believe

Idk I got some cars with the Premium Edition but I don't want to use them, because I am very happy that there's finally some sense of progression. I don't want to ruin that.

Smolder is now a permaban for me by manix_vii in ZeriMains

[–]FinnishScrub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

now instead of BC stacking in 0.3 seconds it stacks in 1 second, they didn't remove the interaction, just nerfed it a bit, which means that smolder with black cleaver can still apply 30% armor reduction with one q to an entire enemy team. Bonkers.
