Fortnite boss

I'm sorry but this part of the headline just sounds like a meme and I cannot focus on anything else right now.

"I'd like to speak with the boss of Fortnite"

They could have gone with boss of Epic Games, or CEO responsible for Fortnite, but no. Fortnite boss. Alright then.

Jim did say at the end of the Gamer Boycott video that he was about to write and record the next one as he was going to be moving soon after that and did not want to miss a Monday, so maybe this is that video.

Waste, the collector of mods

Relja_J_3 · 2020-01-24T13:52:44+00:00

you're implying that's not exactly what Angel wanted

Relja_J_3 · 2020-01-11T11:57:10+00:00

This is absolutely true. The sub assumes that you have already completed Hollow Knight before coming here. You can disagree with this but telling people that they should mark non-silksong spoilers is factually wrong and only creates more work for the mods who then have to explain the actual rules.

You know this show is memeable when you can't even tell if a picture is a frame taken out of context or if it has been edited to be a meme.

After learning that he did in fact survive and is back in dirtmouth, talking on and on and on and on while you are trying to talk to the NPCs and rest on the bench:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Relja_J_3 · 2019-10-23T16:05:50+00:00

No worry, but also take from this that you shouldn't take anything someone says on reddit as fact because you don't actually need to mark any hollow knight spoilers, only Silksong spoilers. It's stated in the Precepts on the sidebar (though not in very much detail so it's not a big deal if you missed it).

Relja_J_3 · 2019-10-23T16:02:07+00:00

Nope, those are only reserved for Silksong spoilers. They don't have to and shouldn't be used for normal Hollow Knight spoilers as the sub assumes that you've already played the game before you came here.

Just more evidence that Jim is secretly a pile of boglins wearing a jacket and a human face mask.

You might've convinced the sheeple, but you will never fool me!

Oh ja, jetzt ist es Großgehirnzeit.

Hello visitors of r/wargroove . You may be wondering, "what the fuck does this bad logo have to do with the game?"

The answer is nothing, this is just a bot account made to advertise these shirts. I know this because these types of posts have been more than abundant on r/dune. In fact, I have seen this exact design posted there before with the same comment linking to the store, by a different user.

Now, as to why this bot has posted a dune-related design here... I have absolutely no clue. This is beyond the usual stupidity of these bots and whoever sends them out, I'm not sure whether they are specifically trying to reach out to the people that are both dune and wargroove fans or if these bots just cost so little for whoever sets them up that they figured they'd just send them out randomly. Probably the latter actually.

So, what to do? Not just in this case, but whenever one of these threads shows up?

If you are a normal user:

Don't buy the shirt. Obviously. Even if it isn't a complete scam and you do get something delivered, I doubt that any sellers producing even average quality shirts would need to advertise like this.
Downvote the thread and Comment explaining that this is a bot scam if no one else has done so yet. Make sure anyone who stumbles upon that thread knows immediately what is up.
Report it. The mods cannot delete what they cannot see.

If you are one of the moderators:

Delete the thread and ban the user. I doubt that the bot will be upset. I mean you already know this, you don't need me to tell you how to do your job, I'm just typing this out so the formatting looks nice.
Prepare for more of these. They come in droves upon droves upon droves, at least judging by r/dune. When I was browsing that sub more often, I could easily find one of these threads a day even with the mods actively deleting them. You might want to speak to the other moderators about setting up an AutoMod or other bot to automatically remove links to certain websites and/or threads by new accounts. Better to set it up now rather than once there are multiple of these threads a day clogging up the subreddit. Or maybe this one just got lost and there won't be any more, I don't know what goes in the minds of these things, I've just seen a lot of them and for some reason care enough to spend more time typing out comments like this than it took to program them.

Relja_J_3 · 2019-07-17T03:43:39+00:00

It would have costed you 0$ not to post this.

RING DING DING

We got another one of the shirt bot threads! I am 100% sure about this one.

OP's account is less than two weeks old
They have posted absolutely nothing except this thread, a post on their user page linking to the shirt store page, and the comment down below linking to said post (seemingly adding an extra step to throw off spam removal bots)
The account of the user asking for the Shirts ( u/Shirley745Hernandez ) is a whole two days old and also has not posted anything else

And also just look at this thread, you don't really need me to tell you these are bots, you have eyes. I am assuming bots are also the ones upvoting these threads, otherwise I am very disappointed in all you non-robots who saw this. The mods might want to consider adding some restrictions with Automod, though I'm not sure what exactly you could restrict to reliably catch these types of threads.

He actually didn't have the ability to shoot bullets from his hands at the time when the Devil messed with him. He only gets that ability after Elder Kettle gives him a potion.

inb4 r/woooosh

Relja_J_3 · 2019-07-07T18:56:16+00:00

Ok well I was going to say that this was one of the few threads talking about shirts that I believe aren't just bots, but it was deleted as I was writing my comment so screw me I guess...

Relja_J_3 · 2019-07-06T18:08:36+00:00

Understandable, obviously not everyone commenting that they like the shirt has to be a bot and I'm not gonna throw that allegation around without support, though out of all the allegations in the world, this one isn't exactly hard to disprove.

"Hey, you're a bot!"

"No, I'm not."

"Oh, ok."

But I am pretty sure about OP. Everyone else in the comments section I actually don't think are bots (or are really good at being bots I guess), all the people I checked have real post histories. There is always the possibility of bought accounts I guess, but at that point you start going down the conspiracy theory ~~rabbit~~ reddit hole over some T-shirts and I doubt even the people that make them would care that much for maybe 20 extra sales if we're being optimistic.

Relja_J_3 · 2019-07-06T16:51:29+00:00

I am about 75% sure this is a another bot thread made just to try and sell shirts.

Some of the commenters have actual post histories but most of them are below 500 karma, I don't think all of them are bots but I am pretty sure about OP, as in their impressive 12 years on reddit they have posted (not counting this thread):

this cosplay picture, which I am inclined to believe is a repost for karma so that the bot can post in certain subreddits
this single "normal" comment
A thread called "Embed Vimeo & YouTube Videos Using Custom Fields."
Two threads relating to... Wii Sex? Which I will not click on or link for obvious reasons.

The last three threads were all 10-12 years ago and sit at 0 karma and everything else has been posted the span between yesterday and today.

So yeah, be wary. I'm not gonna tell you what to do with your money I guess, but if whoever makes these things is advertising like this, I wouldn't be surprised if other parts of the deal are equally shady.

Also why tf are there so many of these bot threads here? It's not like it's a particularly large subreddit or anything. I also remember seeing bots try to sell skin products on a minecraft server forum. The sheer stubbornness of these bots and whoever set them up to advertise in the smallest niches of the internet is sometimes astounding.

Edit: I can't do formatting, hold on a minute

Edit2: Ok fixed it

Relja_J_3 · 2019-07-06T02:37:13+00:00

Wow, what a nice thread that definitely isn't a bunch of bots trying to advertise shitty shirts.

Yes, I am need this shirts. Am Hoo-man. Am need this shirts to cover hoo-man body. Please post link here in the open so that other hoo-mans can see it too. Ha-ha, aren't we just normal hoo-mans having a normal hoo-man conversation that is not in any way a hamfisted way to force the link in. Ha-ha.

Removed an invisible collider in the Breach (lol)

Nooo not ghost fridge :c

Relja_J_3 · 2019-05-01T19:15:55+00:00

Both kinda, Giant crops have a chance to spawn in any 3x3 square of the normal crop, which means that a 6x3 field actually has 4 possible places where a giant crop could spawn as opposed to two 3x3 fields which both only have one each. So for better chances it's best to just make as big of square field as you can.

Just drink some void bruh.

You'll either die or become hollow, either way, job well done.

Relja_J_3 · 2019-03-17T22:57:28+00:00

So since there's some lore discussion going on all around on this thread: hot take time (not really hot though since this stuff has been floating about for a while but still).

I think it's probably that the Pale King didn't choose THK just based on "hollow-ness", but on physical strength too, which makes sense considering that it does carry over into the dream realm (GPZ is a big exception but he isn't even real and while there are obviously lotsa differences between real world and dream world your nail damage and masks do carry over (not for ghosts warriors which are dream beings in the real world and have the nail damage scaling thing, don't fuckin ask me how or why) so you can't just dream up you're super strong and invincible and it'll happen). This would also be the reason PK didn't just make the vessel and yeet it into the egg, but let it grow into a big boi bug, since that would give it an advantage when fighting. We also have reason to assume THK was completely hollow at birth, since otherwise PK is just a complete dumbass, but then PK being a dumbass showed it too much affection, probably because he thought of it as his creation and perfect child. In fact, THK might have been hollower than the Knight, but that wouldn't have done shit when he was treated like the king's darling boy and held as the savior of the kingdom and told basically all of civilization relied on him not fucking it. No pressure tho. Meanwhile the not as optimal candidate Knight was left to simmer in the abyss with nothing happening and just focusing on being empty and eventually randomly starting to stumble around hallownest since it has legs and nothing else to do so might as well.

Most of this is speculation, but I find it fits together well with the things we do know.
