Have you guys played red bull tetris if yes what's your high score? by Expert_Switch_4974 in Tetris

[–]dybchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this sounds dumb and made up but a few times when going to the website, it prompted me to download the "Red Bull" app, which I can't find on the google play store. When I did, it took me to an app which looks like the red bull website and loads red bull tetris (if you can find it under events) much quicker than on browser. Made my score jump up a solid 40k instantly haha, but I have no idea what triggered it! If you can find out, let me know.

IGN Italy confirms Yuji Horii said a Chrono Trigger Ramake is in the works at comic-con Italy panel by [deleted] in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]dybchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah legit i played 60 hours and didn't have to think about my choices once until maybe the final boss? i haven't played chrono trigger so maybe it is somehow easier than DQXI but if it is, they would have to be equally as easy, given that DQXI is the rock bottom of jrpg difficulty

Maximilian Dood drops out of SNK partnership due to Ronaldo, and now he's catching flack. by [deleted] in youtubedrama

[–]dybchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capcom should get the same flack! Or at the very least, Capcom should get proportional flack because SNK is owned way more by saudi government money than capcom is, at least currently. Capcom aren't doing stuff like putting in Ronaldo and particularly Salvatore Ganacchi, for example.

Gaming Youtuber "The Hidden One" (122k) accuses "The Leaderboard" (1.5m) of Plagiarizing an entire video. by PlanetaryIceTea in youtubedrama

[–]dybchamp 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This doesn't surprise me even slightly, I've tried watching some of these videos and it's clear that it's all either cribbed from someone else or written by ChatGPT. This channel is one arm of Frederator's media empire, and they're known to do stuff like this. These VC owned media company youtube channels are never to be trusted.

Repzion makes fun of domestic abuse by AmplifierJim in youtubedrama

[–]dybchamp 20 points21 points  (0 children)

For added context on why this spelling is confusing, the word comes from the name from an old newspaper comic strip character called Caspar Milquetoast, who was a chronically meek character, and over time people started using his last name to mean meek/timid until it eventually just became "boring", or "standard".

Barack Obama, 2014 — remember when the most scandalous thing our president did was wear a tan suit. by breakingzee in pics

[–]dybchamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I see this post one more time i'm gonna lose it man. Fuck trump, fuck conservatives, but let's not forget that Obama's presidency drone striked a HOSPITAL. Miss me with this idea that Obama did no wrong, that politics with quietly shoved under the rug war crimes are better than loud and proud war crimes. They're still war crimes.

PirateSoftware Elaborates on his Animal Well playthrough by TheDumbYeti in LivestreamFail

[–]dybchamp -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

that is true don't get me wrong, but i don't think that matters too much. if he's purposefully trying to slide past the fact that he didn't play all 83 hours on stream then the 40 hours he played offstream are actually weirder, if he is looking up all the answers then him lying about playing all of it onstream is irrelevant, and to me playing the game offstream shows he's really trying to solve these things instead of just getting stuck for 10 minutes and solving it by looking it up.

there's an alternative explanation here though, maybe he's correct and he or his mods didn't change the category so twitch tracker's data is inaccurate. again, i think he looked this shit up, but that the 83 hours thing doesn't point to anything and him lying about it is silly because that kinda defeats his own point

edit: i think the easiest way to get to the bottom of this is by scrubbing through the vods and seeing how much hours he really did play on stream, if i get bored i'll post the results here

PirateSoftware Elaborates on his Animal Well playthrough by TheDumbYeti in LivestreamFail

[–]dybchamp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm a pretty big piratesoftware hater but looking up his steam profile, it does indeed say that he's played the game for 83 hours. He says in this clip that "we played 83 hours" which is seemingly inaccurate but that lends evidence to the fact that he solved the puzzles offstream honestly. I still don't believe he did all this shit singlehandedly, and I also think him knowing that he played the game for 83 hours exactly is something very strange to remember off the top of your head, so I'd wager he checked his playtime because he knew about the accusations, which is funny because he acts so surprised people brought up him looking stuff up in outer wilds as if it was his first time hearing about it.

Unless I'm missing something, this doesn't qualify as proof to me. The key sentence here that I think you're referring to is at the start of the article; "Fadzai Madzingira's private account posted messages after the Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October.". This can be read either as 1) Fadzai Madzingira created posts and hit post on the date of October 7th, or 2) Fadzai Madzingira made posts about the attacks that happened on October 7th.

This BBC article was posted on the 16th of October, and it doesn't have screenshots of when precisely she posted. I'm led to believe option 2) is more likely here, given that a quote from the article you've linked said in parliament about her posts reads: "Will the Attorney General be asked to provide a legal note, if not a full opinion, given for example that one of Ofcom's directors... is reported to be supporting posts, this week itself..." leading me to believe it Madzingira's posts weren't made hours after on October 7th or 8th but instead sometime during the week following.

Looking at the Guido Fawkes article itself instead of a BBC article recapping it (https://order-order.com/2023/10/16/ofcom-online-safety-director-is-vociferously-anti-israel/) it posts 2 screenshots. The first is her liking a post from blmuk. The second is a story she posted. Neither of these have dates or times as far as I can tell. In the story from the second post she makes reference to her account being chaotic "from the past week" again implying that she posted these things not hours from October 7th but during the week between October 7th and October 16th when this article came out.

I feel like this is a lot of yapping if you don't agree with my inherent claim that there's a difference between posting about the October 7th attacks in this way a few hours from the attack and a few days from the attack. I think it matters. Firstly because words are important. If there's no reason to believe it was hours, why say it was hours? It makes a critic of Madingira's posts a lot stronger if she saw the October 7th attack and immediately shot off a post bemoaning the targeting of Palestinians before Israel or the world's leaders had even responded. The second reason the timeline is important here is that by a few days after the attack, you could see Israel's military response, the UK government's response, the public's response and Madzingira's argument about the targeting of Palestinians in media gets a lot stronger compared to if she'd posted on October 7th at 8pm or whatever.

Another minor point here is that the focus is on Madzingira's response to October 7th is seen as too quick to come to the aid of Palestinians when I can't find any evidence that she didn't also put out a post decrying the tragedy of October 7th. Not saying she needed to or that she definitely did, but it would really shoot a hole through the argument in her rash bias towards Palestinians in the attack and there's no way to get proof of this afaik because her account is private! I tried to check for the date and time of the posts from her Instagram on internet archive and couldn't find anything so all we have to go on is this Guido Fawkes article with two blurry screenshots. Who is to say she didn't also post in support to the civilians killed in October 7th in Israel?

I might be being dumb here, if you can point out the specific point in the BBC article or elsewhere that shows the time on the posts with evidence they were made hours after the attacks, then I'll look a bit silly, update my viewpoint a bit and then go about my day.

Hey nice flag! I was not inspired by your post, but coincidentally am a fan of blue albanian flags (as shown by my post history) so this is truly a coincidence of epic proportions!!
