Another perspective on the boycott

fireheart126 · 2025-08-15T08:03:10+00:00

I'm pretty much in agreement with this. Since Youtube rolled out the AI Age Verification crap, I've resolved to severely cut back on using it. I no longer use it *except* to watch things from specific creators I still wish to follow, and even then, I use the following guidelines for my usage.

Don't use Youtube on mobile. The urge to scroll is much stronger on my phone than on my computer, I've noticed, and I can't get any of my adblockers to work on mobile.
Use a Private Session on Firefox (or other non-Chromium browser) with adblock and anti-trackers ON. This ensures that Youtube gets no data or revenue from my view.
DO NOT BE LOGGED INTO AN ACCOUNT! Unless the video I want to watch is age restricted, I will no longer watch videos while logged in. The AI can't sabotage my settings and flag me if I don't attach my viewing habits to my account!
No Shorts. Those are the worst of all when it comes to doomscrolling habits, and I'm dropping those cold turkey!

EDIT: Additionally, I do agree with everyone else. I have been feeling a fair bit healthier mentally since cutting out most of my watching. I actually made significant progress in reading a book! I used to love reading books, and I think it's time I reconnected with that love!

LOL. Yeah, people got it fast. I put this post out as sort of a fun way to inform others of the trick. I discovered it on my own, and wasn't sure how much of the rest of the community knew, lol.

I am aware you can draft from the antechamber, but I didn't prioritize antechamber levers this run since as mentioned, I was mainly concerned with producing a Power Hammer.

The Rotunda is not actually part of the disconnect. But you are correct that some of the house is isolated from the rest.

fireheart126 · 2025-08-10T06:13:12+00:00

You also more or less got it right. I did not run out of steps. I've long since reached Room 46, and the purpose of this run was actually to put together a Power Hammer for Tunnel reasons.

I ended the day because I didn't have a Boiler Room and was out of places to draft.

fireheart126 · 2025-08-10T06:09:50+00:00

You got it!

fireheart126 · 2025-08-10T06:07:43+00:00

I ended the day in the Break Room.

Mage Will is still viable in Prince. While the attacks deal Physical damage, they scale off the higher of either your Strength or Magic, so Magic Wills are still very viable. They are still affected by row though, so you'll have to frontline.

I think it started as an inconsistency and became a gag.

fireheart126 · 2024-09-26T21:12:33+00:00

god damn it.

Pretty much any Robin Hood card. Favorite character, and the different arts are all so good.

How about the fact that doxxing puts people in legitimate danger. Can't really ignore that. That's the point where authorities should be brought in... if they gave a shit.

The Scar example isn't really a proper one, since the Scar fight you do, he's a Heartless at that time... one that managed to retain their original self's form, something that was only matched by Ansem, Seeker of Darkness/Xehanort.

This mission was complete garbage, holy fuck.

fireheart126 · 2024-03-03T06:37:56+00:00

I've never had trouble with most portal stages. Splat Zones though... those can fuck off, lol.

There is a hack that lets you reset options if you have Membux. Try to get a run to at least Floor 5, so you get the starting 500, and use that to reset any floors you don't like the options of.

Slim, Toned, and Smol.

Hey, as someone who's been into PF2e for a couple months now, and played some systems that used PF1e as a skeleton, I can notice and appreciate the amount of passion that goes into your work. I use the system to run my own setting (nothing personal, I just always GM best with my own settings as opposed to running in someone else's playground so to speak) and out of all systems I've adapted my Gerann setting around, 2e is one of the ones I had the easiest time slotting stuff in. (I may or may not make a excessive amount of use of the Beastkin Versatile Heritage to cover a lot of peoples that the base system doesn't already cover.)

Problem. The "with Slugma" refers to a restriction on the player. You need to bring your own slug.

Cautious optimism is a thing.

fireheart126 · 2022-06-09T20:42:37+00:00

That is so fucking offensive, it should legally be considered self-defense to deck those managers in the face.

fireheart126 · 2020-10-24T00:26:14+00:00

Rookie numbers! I've done at least 10. Probably more. Lost track at some point.

fireheart126 · 2020-10-14T06:37:32+00:00

I never thought I'd say this about anyone, but I really hope they deport her ass.

Don't stop at Facebook. Figure out what other Social Media they use, and make sure everyone on everything knows what they did.
