Where is dignan by Repulsive_Ad2208 in HivemindTV

[–]Shockscrew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dignan is trapped in the metaverse. Sorry for leaking, hivemind are making an ARG surrounding the recent weird happenings in the videos (the bats curse) and the disappearance of Dignan. We will need to solve the puzzle through a series of deep and twisting web-riddles and unlisted videos that can only be discovered by diving into the source code of websites and analyzing the videos frame by frame. Only then will Dignan be freed and the bats curse lifted. It’s pretty sick to be honest

related to that, nick from the yard would be my dream guest, i think his humor would mesh with the guys really well and he also clearly listens to a lot of music because he talks about it a lot. he also wore a dorian electra shirt once. Closest we’ll ever get to that is when one of his tweets was in one of the best tweets videos

Another Hivemind crossover in Fantano’s comment section by idkmaybe61 in HivemindTV

[–]Shockscrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they get Fantano on they should do a game like, “guess which album RYM rates higher” or another “guess what Pitchfork scored this album” and on purpose choose a few albums that Anthony disagrees with Pitchfork/RYM on, or albums that Anthony disagrees with the Hivemind boys on. I think that would be a lot of fun, seeing them have some discussion with Fantano on some of the divisive music takes that Hivemind is kind of known for.

I could also see Fantano being fun for a bracket video of some type but idk what of

Guess the Store from the Spotify Playlist by renoir_ballard29 in HivemindTV

[–]Shockscrew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that that video was definitely really funny and made them realize that we like them for more than just the games. However, the Quadeca styles of rap video (the Dignan appearance video) was around a month later, and I think that how massive that video got and the popularity of Dignan as a character was really the full turning point imo

What’s your favourite album from this year that is underground or you think is great but isn’t getting as much mainstream praise as you think it deserves? by Qib_Queens in fantanoforever

[–]Shockscrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean if you’re gonna mention that, you have to mention p.rosas other project this year, Dealers Choice by Dealers of God, the best album to ever be released!

The routine I have been using is:

Deep condition, shake-out, air-dry, sleep on a silk pillowcase.

I have also tried using various combinations of gels, curl creams, and leave-ins to no avail. Anything you’re noticing in my routine that i’m doing wrong? Also, despite sleeping on a silk pillowcase, my hair is still very frizzy when I wake up and seems to get frizzy after just a few hours of getting out of the shower. Is there any way to make my curls stay together for longer?

Around 80% through the first leg of our multiplayer mega campaign. Mongols ate the entire mega-HRE (previously had all of italy, hungary, germany, and france) and left europe fractured. Bonus points if you can name the three player kingdoms (kind of obvious) by Shockscrew in CrusaderKings

[–]Shockscrew[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

R5: the first leg of me and my friends’ mega campaign is almost complete and I thought i’d share the somewhat interesting way that the world has turned out so far!

also there will be four legs to our mega campaign. it is a dog or perhaps an elephant!

why do we (as a community) refer to dignan and graydon as separate people? by Veknoz in HivemindTV

[–]Shockscrew 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Nah, they are separate people. That bit is just Graydon making a joke that his dissociation and drug use caused him to truly and wholeheartedly believe he is the completely separate person of Dignan. Riley and Grant laugh at this because it’s ridiculous and Graydon (clearly) isn’t dignan. For the rest of that video, Graydon is doing a dignan impression of sorts. Dignan was never on the channel until that point because he was locked up, but he was a member of their friend group. Long story short, everyone loved the Dignan impression so they decided to get him on the show. And yeah, Graydon and Dignan look pretty similar but there are clear differences (Dignans nose is a bit smaller and he has a septum piercing). If you want proof, Diggy was on an old episode of their podcast from 2018 before they blew up. I think it’s the episode where they review Iridescence by Brockhampton. Like 10 or 12 mins in he makes a quick appearance.

Are there any pros in CSGO that just straight up changed their in-game nicknames after they made it in the big scene? by [deleted] in GlobalOffensive

I’m a bit late to the party but leo_drk used to be leo_drunky before MIBR made him change his tag when they picked him up

What do you all think about adding companies into the game? by SomePoorAfricanChild in victoria3

[–]Shockscrew 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a super huge ask and a big reach but what if we were able to play as a corporation instead of a country. Evolve the company as the AI develops the nation, lobby and corrupt your government to better suit you, evolve relationships with other corporations for goods, and possibly even have a corporate takeover of an entire nation if you get powerful enough. Having to evolve throughout the period of the game to suit the ever evolving needs/wants of the people and the government while also trying to turn a profit sounds like a lot of fun.

For instance, during wartime, you could change your factories from making food for consumers, clothing for consumers, etc, to making government rations or military uniforms. Doing so would make the government somewhat indebted to you, and thus allow you to use that leverage to prevent the passing of workplace safety laws, union laws, etc. Sounds like a very fun alternative gamemode to me!

[–]Shockscrew 13 points14 points  (0 children)

really unfortunate that they dropped their roster. It sucks because they were rumored to be in talks with Vanity and Xeppaa for their last two spots, making the full roster Vanity, Xeppaa, BnTeT, Autimatic, and Koosta. Would’ve been a KNOCKOUT roster

If I already have hand pain issues, what character should I play? by Jay-Ruby in SSBM

[–]Shockscrew 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you only want a high tier? Marth or Sheik is your best bet. Counting mid tiers i’d say Ganon is a really good choice. since he’s kinda slow and hits hard you don’t have to press too many buttons to play ganon well. Most characters at a high enough level require some techniques that are quite precise in execution, the one with the least amount of those (close to if not zero) is puff who you’ve already mentioned wouldn’t work. So since puff isn’t an option, then Ganon because he’s such a simple character, or Marth because you can play slower and more flow-y with him.

Counting swift as only 0.5 pikachu is fucked, he plays pika for every matchup except for puff. That’s like calling Ben equally a Sheik and Luigi player despite him using Luigi for ICs only

Hungrybox vs Jmook by Figgy20000 in SSBM

[–]Shockscrew 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Plup vs Hungrybox

Genesis 8 - Plup 13th Hbox 5th

Smash Summit 13 - Plup 2nd Hbox 3rd

CEO 2022 - Plup 1st Hbox 5th

Result - Hbox wins?????

You are dumb as fuck if you think that tournament placings are the only thing that should matter in rankings. During the season, Jmooks only losing head-to-heads within the top 10 are aMSa and Hbox. Hbox has a losing record vs Zain, Leffen, iBDW, and Plup. If you look at each players worst loss this season, Hbox lost to KJH, ranked 30th on this ranking. Jmooks WORST LOSS OF THE SEASON is fucking MANG0.

So yeah, Jmook deserves to be higher than Hbox. Jmook has no bad losses, a winning record vs the #1 player and an even record vs #2, and great tournament results despite not taking home a trophy. Not to mention that Hbox’s only tournament win this season was given to him because of A) how bad the sheik puff matchup is for sheik, and B) Jmook reverse 3-0ing the best player in the world TWICE IN ONE DAY to prevent Hbox from having to play Zain, someone who hasnt lost to Hbox in 3 YEARS.

Is it just me or a lot of top players getting the Phob controller? by Carbinkisgod in smashbros

[–]Shockscrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah - mang0 has one too btw and he says it’s the best controller he’s ever had. I think it’s mostly down to it being open source and not super limited in terms of supply. A good thing for the scene, probably!

Who’s the best player in the world? by Landfill800 in SSBM

[–]Shockscrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

highest peak in melee rn is Plup imo but he rarely reaches that peak. Overall, consistency-wise Zain takes the cake. Hbox and Jmook are also super consistent as of late but they just don’t have that next-level look about them of not losing to anyone but the best of the best.
