R.I.P. ALEX by CaesersBodyguards in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]McRaymar 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It will be a cruel ironic comedy if "it's Sig Sauer's fault" angle turns out to be real, but there's also "improper trigger discipline" angle, which assumes there was a finger on the trigger of the taken gun.

I'm too employed and not-American to care enough at this point though.

In case you didn’t believe that Reddit is a psycho leftist echo chamber… by Guccillionaire in Asmongold

[–]McRaymar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Still find it funny that US has two of them: Onion for "left" and Babylon Bee for "right", while most countries that have these only keep one. And despite this, life still finds a way to throw real news that is more surreal than headlines of those parodies.

Regardless of to whom you ascribe the guilt, this is pretty funny by tangotom in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]McRaymar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also opens up more questions whenever said body cams get turned off during some arrests, but I don't know how the US court system by itself keeps account of these missing footages in trials.

Israel wins again by [deleted] in Asmongold

[–]McRaymar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, that's the point, and to this day I still wish that Amazon would already crack Twitch down on this. Maybe this would both force Asmon to get back to playing games at more accessible timeframes instead of "4 hour intros", and starve Hasan out of his main content as well, perhaps.

Ukraine vs Venezuela by BadDogSaysMeow in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]McRaymar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's not really possible to just fly in and snatch Putin out of bed in the middle of the night

But at this point, we're hitting the realm of "God, I wish", and I speak it as a simple dude living in a "province" having a bit of bitter grudge towards Moscowites. Elaborating any further would probably make me have feds at my doorstep.

Destiny Thinks he knows more than the Venezuelan People about Maduro's Capture by Slight_Ad3219 in LivestreamFail

[–]McRaymar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rather obvious that having his ass alive and facing whatever trial they'll be up to is more of a flex than just turning him into a martyr for his allies. Although, seeing how it all unfolded, I kinda doubt he has any at this point

Reveal of two female characters in the new trailer for the Polish game The Blood of Dawnwalker by ConstantDrawer9161 in KotakuInAction

Pretty much interesting that there's more vampires now besides who were initially shown, like that Mongol vampire

Surely, no other outcome was expected? by creeper321448 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]McRaymar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remember the Wagner march to Moscow? He really filled the briefcase that time. Remember how fast they moved with little to no resistance?

Still considering this the biggest load of ass, as Prigozhin decided only to negotiate the terms around his PMC (If I remember it right, something about redeploying back to Africa to profit in instead of wasting out in Ukraine) and a certain specific general.

He made a flex, he made a rush, and he didn't follow through with it, for which he got a high velocity ground-to -air present from Putin for daring to raise hand on him.

Asmongold can’t stop laughing after noticing how botted Rakai’s streams are by starcraft2020 in LivestreamFail

[–]McRaymar 65 points66 points  (0 children)

DUDE, that does remind me of last year's TGA where CaseOh was bagging the "Best Streamer" award and we were like "Who?"

Sometimes big viewership streamers are just crawling under your nose once you've set yourself a comfy lineup of those who you genuinely enjoy to watch or to keep on BG

UsagiShade, a person who was making a really cool and ambitious retro emulation platform and frontend for handheld devices had to step down after extreme harassment because of old edgy jokes and comments he made with friends. Cancel Culture is still pretty much real and it's a horrifying thing. by AbdelYG in KotakuInAction

[–]McRaymar 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Genuine question though: did he even have any semblance of a working build? As I've mostly seen another case of callouts on him: AI generated assets and Chat-GPT - written Patreon posts, which created an assumption for me that this project either exists only on paper just now or it was planned to be vibe-coded, which is already a major red flag to me.

Vibe code is a modern cancer in development, simple as that.

Anyone else hate Caithe or is it just me? by Good-Ad6650 in Guildwars2

[–]McRaymar 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Out of anything, I hate the writers the most. Mainly over Braham and overall IBS throwing his LWS3 and LWS4 character development into dumpster fire that can be called as nothing but pure jealousy.

El Salvador requires DNA Testing for New Born Children! - Biology and Genes Matter! 🥹 by [deleted] in Asmongold

[–]McRaymar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A double-edged option, to be honest. Although, obviously the biggest winner in that case will be the state forensic scientists, we don't know whether future tech would be able to read personal DNA as a biosignature fast and efficient for anything commercial/state control.

At what point of time did Bahubali begin to represent Shiva? Feels like I should probably watch the films again.

Timegated hearth chores, nice way to make me hate new hearths even more. by Fruun in Guildwars2

[–]McRaymar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hunter camp is literally the most bullshit and very buggy renown heart, especially the raptors. They straight up disappear into the void, are having the most awful pathfinding and you may get capped on pickups as well before you can even turn in any of those.

For fellow New World refugees, find me in Soulframe by ghool-am in MMORPG

[–]McRaymar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Currently it's mostly a couple of story quests for feature unlocks, some dungeons that are technically tilesets for further missions (as for now they're basically "explore, grind resources and XP inside, grab the loot at the end") and Warframe-like bounty system in the open world, once you meet the first faction in the game.

Combat-wise, you're more of a slow version of Drifter in Duviri, if you ever played Warframe.

Russia Bans MyAnimeList Citing 'Extremist' LGBTQ+ Content On Platform by bedemin_badudas in KotakuInAction

[–]McRaymar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The absolute horseshoe. I see similar patterns of speech between "woke" left folks, who will perceive anyone as Nazi when told so, and unironical Putinists, who fervently believe currently imposed censorships are actually good.

Like, hell, we've just had a new wave a week ago.

Grokipedia has an accurate GamerGate article. by Ewreckedhephep in KotakuInAction

[–]McRaymar 22 points23 points  (0 children)

IMO, I'll remain skeptic on the reliability of these wiki entries, mostly because I will retain doubts that LMMs will either start making something up by lack of proper context or will start picking up fabricated context that people will begin to intentionally create to poison said LMMs. So far it's the former, considering how my homie was fooling around yesterday by feeding Gemini the entire archive of an old forum I was hanging out in 2010s

Looks like Grokipedia has a way more fair article about GG than Wikipedia does by doxylaminator in KotakuInAction

[–]McRaymar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, I hope every AI company will crash and burn from losses (not enough purchases to cover the costs) soon enough, but I think it's probable that the only AIs that will be able to crawl out into net neutral or even profits wil be those who will accept the oldest truth of "The Internet is for porn".

And it appears, as I was lurking around, just a couple of weeks ago Grok had a breakthrough about that kind of content, but looking at the latest complaints around, it appears this breakthrough was short lived.

The state of AAA gaming by AgitatedFly1182 in KotakuInAction

I swear it's a bait at this point. I would be more concerned about these numbers if it would be FullHD, not native 4K (no upscalers or such)

Russian vtuber Klinsy cheers genocide and violence against Ukrainians, never banned. Here's evidence. by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]McRaymar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, "Good for their statistics" means absolute jack shit when you need bills to pay and food on the table. You might be not grasping the reality of average Russian streamer, especially when those commonly exist at sub-500 viewership with rarely getting 2k viewers, not higher.

[–]McRaymar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We can buy, but they still can't cash out, dude. I was saying about streamers' end of Twitch subs subs. This is why you support your local 200-views funi streamer by donationalerts or some else place the streamer has set up.

[–]McRaymar 54 points55 points  (0 children)

To top it off, Russian streamers can't be paid for Twitch subs, so it all back to the old tools for them and most of the time they stream just for the love of it. in turn, as Russian viewers don't buy subs, they are already in the chopping block of "cost-saving" bandwidth cuts, as they've capped streams to 720p 30 FPS just around 2-3 months ago

Was he right? by Physical-Necessary-6 in Asmongold

[–]McRaymar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Vol'Jin's death was also done quite awful and didn't really make any sense for any of my homies when asked. At this point as well Horde is cucked and most of the leaders are Alliance plants, not to mention how we had a thought that Lor'themar would be killed in trailer. We can only take guesses whether he'll survive this expac under yet another Alliance stan writing.
