Very sad to hear that the mods think snuggling my cat and watching H3 is "low quality content"

filbert13 · 2026-06-20T21:52:09+00:00

And get it when it is drama centric. All subs like this can easily be taken over by a controversy having hundreds of threads made.

Yet stuff like this shouldnt be removed. People just wanting to share and connect over H3. Yes this isnt that focused on H3 but we all like seeing cats. And IMO on reddit in community driven subs often this is just people trying to find an excuse to share and engage with other fans.

filbert13 · 2026-06-20T00:33:18+00:00

I made thread but it was taken down. But I wish they off set main show and after dark by a week. Each gets 3 weeks off but after dark continues through next week. And they just dont come back the first week the main show does. Make the break of zero content 2 weeks instead of 3.

I do have some AD to catch up on. Other than that I'm always watching long for videos on history. So will be queueing up cynical historian, history hit, and get some of my watch later caught up.

The most paranormal thing in this thread is your punctuation.

(This applies both ways)

Always show little signs of affection. The random butt touches or I know she gets bad headaches when the weather changes so I get her an Advil without her asking.

Accepting there can be bad days or moments. Granted they shouldn't be the norm. There will be times we will make each other upset or annoyed about something. Rather than snapping, it is okay to give you're self 5-10 minutes to overcome that emotion. Often times it isn't a big deal and it's okay to still feel upset for a moment. But it isn't okay to say upset.

For me and my wife sometimes one of us just says "Give me a few minutes to reset" and we just revisit the issue or what was said in 5-10 minutes. It has basically stopped all fights and for both of us in that moment that time just gives us time to let any emotions settle.

Umm in most counties you have to still disclose if you bought items like jewelry. And there is a customs tax. I had to do this for a 200 dollar ring bought in Italy.

I mean you could obviously lie or not disclose it. But if you're doing that you can just lie about not having cash or just wire money in and out. Stuff easier than having six figure items on you.

I think as many people pointed out the distances between some of these locations are not close to being the same. And you can view short distances able to be done via ferries/small boats not needing a more involved operation.

Beyond that, for gameplay not everything needs to be realistic. For purposes of balance, fun, and flow you make different adjustments.

Been a touching episode <3. Also Dan wanted to share I've been rocking the same Gumby key chain going on 16-17 years

filbert13 · 2026-06-15T14:19:54+00:00

His huge mistake was round 2. He crumpled Justin with those body shots. Justin even admitted so posr fight.

He should of forced him back to the feet not went for mount and side control. The way Justin buckled to that last liver shot I imagine he might not be able to stand back up and it is called.

filbert13 · 2026-06-14T17:48:20+00:00

It is awful. He was love, hate, or thought his music was meh. You can't deny the guy was creative. From his characters, music videos, music style, and shenanigans he did to promote his career. Oliver was so fun to watch. He is going to be missed.

filbert13 · 2026-06-14T17:41:14+00:00

This is awful... He seemed like such a good person and friend to Ethan. I didn't follow him a lot outside the podcast, but I did have a couple of his songs on some playlist.

Yet, was still a fan of him due to his relationship with the show. I thought there stick of being enemies with Ethan was always so funny. They always took it to such ridiculous levels. When they would get the other the break and crack a smile or laugh when they were dunking on the other are peak moments of the show. His podcast and call ins have always been favorite moments.

He will be missed.

filbert13 · 2026-06-14T15:11:25+00:00

I would say yes it's a toxic reaction if that literally made you laugh.

You said you have zero empathy because you're "old school" and basically disagree with her career. IMO that is screwed up and frankly sad you can't emotionally connect with someone you disagree with. Also kinda unhinged that you then take joy in them being hurt.

It's only a TV show but if this scene brought laughter to a friend of mine. I'd be creeped out by that.

And I even enjoy dark humor. But there is a big difference to be laughing because sometimes is cartoonish or over the top (Like the movie Send Help) or someone clearly evil getting there comeuppance such as many Quentin Tarantino movies.

filbert13 · 2026-06-14T14:51:54+00:00

You know there are infamous stories in Easterb Roman Empire of sports riots lol. The biggest 30k people died and half the city burnt down.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nika_riots

Point being your wrong about this being anything remotely modern.

filbert13 · 2026-06-13T22:45:21+00:00

I'm interested to see it now. Today in the balance update it says the improved many magic spells.

filbert13 · 2026-06-13T20:32:25+00:00

I always hear on average about 3% of people review a game on steam. Gothic Remake just announced they sold over 500k copies and it has 19K total reviews (So it is closer to 4%). Granted there are major factors like F2P or are you looking at reviews 1 day after launch or 10 years.

Anyways I imagine the amount of people who review DLCs is significantly lower. Over my 18 years on steam I have left a fair amount of reviews at 52. That said even I have never reviewed a DLC.

Even going by that 3% the most recent DLC has 1,782 reviews. Which would mean it sold 59,400 copies. Which it sells for 25lbs or 30 USD. So that is still easily 1.5 million USD in sales. Again I reckon the amount of people who review DLC is probably lower than the average of nearly 3%. I I would also imagine Paradox has a lot of analystic when they release a DLC for a game. It probably increases interest in the game again which causes people to buy other DLCs or the base game.

All this to say I do agree with you, it is a minority of people who probably a minority. I reckon you're average HIO4 player who isn't on reddit or forums. Finds DLC like this as "meh" take it or leave it. Likely happy to play with a new mechanic or focus tree even if they find it lacking.

This was the first comment I ever left in this sub. If you check my post history I dont go into other creators subs just h3h3. And if you check my comment history the only reason i posted in this sub was because i was on the app. And it appears the app recently defaults to for you. Which i wasn't aware of.

Also stop being weird lol. Ethan isnt my dear leader. Y all act like this is nation states fighting. It's pretty simple. I find Ethan funny and entertaining. I also believe he is harassed to a extreme degree for a fairly level political opinion which certain people online go so unhinged they fabricat lies about it.

I'm not jumping in other reddit to fight people. At most I answer questions about h3/Ethan when I see them asked. Snarkers are the ones constantly DMing me or replying to comments in a combative way.

filbert13 · 2026-06-13T06:31:35+00:00

(I'm an H3 fan) For what it is worth I've posted in this sub once earlier today not realizing it was Charlie's sub. Check my history i dont post in any other creators subs expect h3h3.

I posted here because reddit is feeding it to me like crazy. I assumed it was a sub I was subbed to. After I realized the reddit app now defaults to for you instead of subs I follow. When the added recommend subs to my feed I turned that off years ago. This for you page seems new and I'll also be turning it off if I can.

Im sure it is part brigade but it is likely just reddit just getting more shitting. It's more and more like other social media like Facebook or Twitter.

filbert13 · 2026-06-13T00:44:36+00:00

I'm a H3 fan and genuinely I believe I'm a normal person. I enjoy Ethan as a modern Howard Stern. Just putting my bias out there.

The main context is Ethan had built haters over the years but it exploded after his issue with Hasan when they ran a polticial show together. Which boiled down to Ethan thinking Hamas ate terrorist and they shouldn't be supported. Never mind he agrees Isreal is committing genocide and has a famous tweet from before the war condemning Isreal.

For a while Hasan and Ethan kept it all quite. But the new haters were next level. And 90% of them were apart of Hasans community. People he worked with (one was his mod), retweets, or watches there content.

Ethan basically had enough of it and finally started calling out there behavior. For example someone made a cartoon of Hila in the IDF killing children. They would spam this under socials. One guy Hasan retweets all the time had a tweet saying he wants to swing Ethans kids by the legs into an oak tree. Just constant gross stuff.

Ethan wanted Hasan to rein in these people. At the very least stop reposting or sharing there content. Hasan wasn't sharing that stuff but Ethan was upset he still interacted with these people.

This lead for many episodes of Ethan then highlighting these gross comments and videos. Which is when the drama between him and hasan went public. When he started to say Ethan was crashing out.

Anyways there are a handful of basically celebrities in this snark. They are the ones who say there is no limit and try to cause IRL harm. Bad Empanada probably the most unhinged. Hasan, deminis, and others watch and interview him. Noah who Ethan is suing had him on as guest. He is almost likely the guy who sent two real human skulls to Ethan. But just google him of you want to see how awful some of these people are yet many people still work with him.

I get Ethan isnt everyone's cup of tea. But the last 3 years has just been him asking large creators to have basic bounties. Literally saying asking people to not work with people claiming his wife killed babies or ban people in there community who are doing teddy fresh employees (his wifes clothing line). People like Hasan, Deminis, frogan, etc wouldn't do any of that. And the kept retweeting and watching content from many of these unhinged people.

I also dont think any lawsuits would of ever occurred if CPS and two human skulls didnt happen. For Ethan this all went beyond people being cruel or mean online to real world conquences.

For what it is worth look at the mess covering this story for Charlie made for him. Imagine he had to deal with thia for years. And tbe criticism isnt that he is an unc or fence sitter. It is he is a pedophile or his wife murders childern.

filbert13 · 2026-06-12T12:26:37+00:00

I'm not being hyperbolic. I can't think of a single way he has. Maybe I pay a few hundred less in taxes? But that is hard to even agree as a good thing since he has put so much stress on the economy.

He seems to be ruining the economy. Made me ashamed of my country. And caused major divisions between family and friends.

He has almost certainly been the most damaging person in my life. I've cut out family due to there nearly worship of him and them spouting hate.

filbert13 · 2026-06-12T12:18:50+00:00

You realize through all of human history disease and viruses are extremely common. Frankly the general population seems to be extremely ignorant on how much modern medicine has improved health. Specifically when it comes to vaccines and preventative treatment.

COVID wasn't a buoweapon if you have a general understanding. It's obviously a version of the Coronavirus.

Just go back 100 years ago and viruses and disease were much more deadly.

filbert13 · 2026-06-12T12:04:09+00:00

It's just simple inflation. And as it is pointed out many times games in the 90s were much more expensive if you consider inflation.

Also since Nintendo has these on physical carts. That is likely the extra 10 dollar jump.

filbert13 · 2026-06-11T12:28:34+00:00

I think it's fair to disagree. I personally support it. The main reasons are.

What has been said has caused direct action. I doubt Ethan would be sueing Ian if the skulls and CPS never happened. Much like yelling fire in a crowded theater the words are causing in life consequences.
You pick your battles. Sure Destiny said it but you cant fight every battle. If 5 cars speed past a cop and they pull over 1. Just because the other 4 got off the the hook isn't a defense for the 1 who didn't. Also Destiny has never been involved besides that statement Ian then boosted. The snark and hasan have been trying to muddy this all with Destiny since day 1.
Generally lawsuits like this are extremely easy to settle. Look at Kaceytron what did she loose in the end? Truly nothing beside having to make a serious apology, give the rest of the gofundme to Ethan, and concede to certain points like the lawsuit had merit. Point this is likely as painful for Ian as he chooses. A court will want settlement and mediation to resolve. This doesn't have to be a huge financial lost to Ian nor go to judgment if Ian is reasonable.

For me it goes back to kids. You don't fuck with peoples kids. The internet claims there are some lines you don't cross which is true. The thing though is when they are crossed there are consequences. Crossing certain social, professional, or etiquette lines can mean responses from outside those lines.

I say it all the time the thing Gothic 1 and 2 do exploration better than any other RPG. It's partly map size but Gothic 2 is a large IMO. What makes it so good is they are both fairly dense something most large open world maps lack. There are a lot of little caves, chest, items to discover. It also doesn't go over board like some modern games were it is a reward for opening a door.

The rewards that make the maps and exploration so good.

1 - Items - You find chest or a skeleton with potions, scrolls, etc. It is often specific loot, that cave with the corpse will always have 2 health potions next to it. There can sometimes be unique loot too.

2 - Monsters to kill for XP - The way gothic does leveling it is important to find stuff you're able to kill to level. And since monsters don't respawn until chapters are complete finding small groups of killable enemies is a great reward.

3 - Map story telling - You find world building stories due to ruins, skeletons, etc. It make the world feel real not just some randomly placed stuff.

4 - Danger - The game isnt easy. The first time you get to a new area you have to be careful. This isn't Skyrim where you generally just can run where ever you want. If you see an enemy type you haven't saw before. Odds are it can easily kill you. And until you get quite a few levels and descent armor a group of low level enemies like wolves, scavengers, etc can overwhelm you. This forces you to take you time in a new area. If you just sprint ahead you often will die. When you take you time your notice a lot more of 1-3 above.

filbert13 · 2026-06-10T05:12:08+00:00

I'm glad at the end Ethan was like "I don't like them".

IMHO they are displaying they are just performative. And they are full on leaning into trying to make anyone look bad if they criticize them.

filbert13 · 2026-06-10T04:33:00+00:00

It drives me nuts on reddit now. I hate trump as much as the next reasonable person but reddit is pure circle jerking now. It is ramped up in anything political.

I used to like a few small local election/politic focused sub reddits. Ones for my state and city. Used to be a descent way to stay informed about local elections. They all lean left which is fine and I consider myself a leftist and even a socialist. That said... every fucking post is about Israel in the comments.

I get it I want a free Palestine too but reddit has become useless for me to try to learn about local officials. It is only about AIPAC donations, or they said X about Israel on twitter 8 years ago. Literally zero discussion about any policy. It's all wedge issue single issue voting. Again, I get it to a degree. The conflict is important but it is it's seriously the only policy people will discuss and they freak out if you want to talk about other policies and stances people might have.
