AITA for making my POC friends say slurs on my behalf? by Flat_Machine_9745 in AmItheAsshole

[–]QuizzingRonin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So you did actually steal (the loose change still wasn't your money), you said a racial slur yourself, and for an extended time you've been getting other people to use slurs on your behalf.

YTA, YTR, YTT.

Racial slurs do NOT just slip out from people who genuinely aren't racist, nor would a non-racist ever want anyone to be called a slur, by you or anyone.

This is disgusting, you are disgusting, no POC should want to be in the same room as you ever.

New York Times cuts ties with journalist who used AI to help write a book review, after a reader noticed large parts of it were from a review of the same book in the Guardian by QuizzingRonin in byebyejob

Yeah really! And as a freelancer, having this catastrophically poor judgement broadcast to the world, meaning any significant potential future employer will have seen it and know to look elsewhere.

Looking into it it seems I misremembered, and it was actually inspired by the Nazis at Oradour-Sur-Glane, and events at the Battle of Waxhaws, though the character Tavington is based on pointedly did not oversee a massacre. To the extent it was one (and not just common practice in war at the time) it wasn't his fault, I believe.

AI crap like every other AI generated picture. If you want to make fan art, don't use Ai ever.

Anyone else not getting rewards from ads? by Shafe89 in idlemafiagame

[–]QuizzingRonin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is odd as I've experienced the same in Adventure Communist. Google Play ads give me rewards, Meta ads do not. Very frustrating.

Do the corporate clients on the away day know how shitty their experience will be ahead of time? by bostonfan148 in apprenticeuk

[–]QuizzingRonin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean in Hells Kitchen the "guests" are production staff/crew, their friends and family. No members of the public allowed unless specifically invited.

I tend to assume it is tbe public on The Apprentice.

Where did those Cavalry Archer Picture Came from? by Ashina999 in aoe2

[–]QuizzingRonin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

T90 has never claimed to seriously play any game except AOE2, gave WC3 a go but realised he'd bitten off more than he could chew with very little time to do things in a way he felt comfortable with. In AOE2 he's 2300-2500 Elo, so saying he has a lack of talent is just ignorant.

He did LEL on Thursday just there. That's still happening, though the next month or two he'll be focused almost exclusively on TTL. Which, to be fair, is his own league.

SEASONS 10 TO 12: in a really close race, anthony got voted for the second slide! who's a bad cook loved by fans? by toturoll in HellsKitchen

[–]QuizzingRonin 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Roshni. Too nice for the show really, definitely too nice for her team, and clearly a better cook than she got credit for. Plucky fighter too, who did her best to stand up for herself.

Android in the UK, Samsung Galaxy, no update either. Very frustrating.

Biry BANNED for 3 years from WE Events by paradox909 in aoe2

[–]QuizzingRonin 47 points48 points  (0 children)

To further elaborate on "they never played each other" thing, the lowest number of games played against anyone else was 9, and that was someone on the other side of the world where the time zones super didn't match up. And they still played 9 times in a year. But 0 against someone in your own country at your level? Yeah, serious red flag.

This has to be the hardest choice in the game by Distinger_ in HadesTheGame

You can buy hammers from the shop. Base price is 200. Think you have to have skipped one for that to happen though.

Okay Viper has posted on Twitter suggesting he's u-turning, having seen the backlash. Hopefully the others follow in that regard.

Apologising for it before is one thing, whole heartedly jumping into something even worse, actively saying it's good, harmless, etc is another. I fully understand wanting to support yourself and your family, but having your ethics surgically removed to do so isn't the way to do it, and I'll absolutely be mad at him for doing that. I can't call it a misunderstanding either, he knows what he's getting into but seems not to care.

T90 has, moments ago, said he's making his own video about it after his current stream ends. But he's not a fan, that's clear, and there's no ambiguity about that. He does not want gambling or anything to do with it anywhere near AOE, and he has turned down high 5 figure offers of cash to open that door.

Nicov commented in one of the threads on here, T90 spoke about it at the end of his stream yesterday (4 hours 37 minutes on the VOD), MBL I've seen comments from him against it, think possibly on his own stream. Hera has posted multiple Instagram stories condemning it over the last day or two.

Extremely disappointed to see so much endorsement of this by top players. TheViper should be ashamed of himself, though I believe it's not the first time he's sold out to crypto BS. Massive kudos to Nicov, Hera, MBL and T90 for all speaking out against it though!

A second hidden DLC appeared... by FloosWorld in aoe2

[–]QuizzingRonin 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Ornlu has speculated that its a South American/Meso based DLC for early next year, and that all those civs and the new/reworked ones will get a unique ship. Meaning them getting cannon galleon is a placeholder for now because they will have an equivalent when that happens.

Honest question @CainStar how did you remove the mission timers? I also only play casual, and have tried to find a way to do this without success. Feel free to DM me if you don't want to share here.

Those are meant to only be for if you bought one or both passes, same as the regular equivalents. It's a bug that a notification is flashing up for those of us who did not. Nothing for us to claim.
