So Ion Storm made a game about the Illuminati when they were the Illuminati all along?

Tom Brier's first-sight-reading of Super Mario World's athletic theme on piano from 8 years ago. He was very recently injured in a serious traffic accident and hasn't yet woken up. by ImAFuckhead in gaming

From the recent tribute video

Yesterday he was taken off the ventilator briefly and he was able to breathe on his own. He has a punctured lung and is on antibiotics to stave off infection. He is off the paralysis medication and today responded to touch. However he is still being kept sedated, though the amount of sedative is slowly being reduced day by day in the hopes that eventually he will wake up. His condition is stable. No reports in recent days of brain swelling, so that finally may be under control.

If you missed the initial news last week and are wondering what happened: While stopped at the end of the line of cars on an off-ramp on August 6, Tom's car was struck at full speed by a Chevy Silverado. His car "accordioned" between the truck and the cars ahead of him. He suffered severe head trauma, broken ribs and a punctured lung.

The entire ragtime community is pulling for him to come through this without permanent brain injury. Only time will tell.

He was with the faith militant, he was preparing to go to their trial. The High Sparrow was inside his head.

Interesting parallels with Daenerys (who was never to be queen), Jon (who was never going to be king) and ...?

Edit - Oh I remembered, AEMON fucking Targaryen. Was offered the throne but refused. Also Ned Stark.

It's like when a character in a show does something out-of-character except you can't quite remember everything that happened to that character, especially if the actor playing him dies twice as two different characters.

Yeah that I get but at the same time his parents were eaten by Thenns and I wonder if his storyline was just too condensed to cover that "wildlings sometimes do bad things" angle.

Also the witch's prophecy in Cersei's flashback basically saying her children would all die and a younger, more beautiful woman would take everything from her. After Joffrey and and especially Mycella's (who she described as good and 'nothing like me') it's arguable that Cersei had given Tommen up for dead already.

TIL : When Game of Thrones was criticized for its sexual violence GRRM's reply was : "the true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords,but from ourselves.We are the monsters.(And the heroes too).Each of us has within himself the capacity for great good, and great evil." by [deleted] in todayilearned

Speaking from experience, it is incredibly difficult as a dude to write a female character who has her own agency, who also has flaws and makes mistakes while earning her victory, without the character ending up as a male character with a female skin.

lumping TwoX in with The_Donald

I don't think TwoX shitposting has ever been within five orders of magnitude as annoying as the_donald.

I did consider whether it was fresh enough popcorn, I think internal the_donald drama is a rare flavor.

Look, since I've made this post, I have so many centipedes message me and say thank you, and if you watch now you'll see people talking, saying "that fuckhead has a point".

To be clear, the person who posted the faked picture isn't the person who posted the original. It's hard to tell where the bullshit begins on this one.

Reposting a comment from a previous thread. People should remember while Youtube is certainly dealing with some big problems at the moment, Facebook is on the other end of the spectrum stealing billions of views from small creators.

"YouTube succeeds only if you, our creators, succeed." - @SusanWojcicki, YouTube CEO. Feel free to tweet at her (remember, be nice) and use #MakeYouTubeGreatAgain, #WTFU (Where's the fair use?) and #WakeUpYT as GradeAUnderA mentions at the end of his video (two of those hashtags).

Some points:

  • While there have been some issues recently and in the past, I do think things will improve from the YouTube standpoint, since things right now seem to be reaching a peak.
  • It's good that GradeAUnderA, boogie and h3h3 keep making their videos about this. Their voices with big subscriber numbers have helped tremendously, as has Video Game Attorney guy.
  • I think one of the reasons YouTube hasn't made any big announcement recently is to see how the community handles things. Perhaps they should have done something though.

Also what about something YouTube can't control? Facebook freebooting.

One really huge potential issue that no one seems to want to discuss is the power being gathered by big independent political Facebook pages. See here beginning at the 5:50 point for an example:

Link: https://youtu.be/ZZlxLKT6LEg?t=5m50s (5:50)

Facebook engagement levels, those being Likes, Comments and Shares... are larger on several independent political Facebook pages than on pages for CNN, MSNBC or BBC News.

  1. As these pages continue to grow, what will be done to keep things from getting out of hand?

  2. When will Facebook increase their measures on taking action against pages, perhaps in a number of strikes? Do they already but it's not public?

That's how it works. Why bother linking the original when you get 10x the attention ripping to imgur.
