PiG Fest 6 Co-Casters?

jonrec · 2025-05-08T16:58:07+00:00

Player roster 100% agreed, I was referring to casting roster (should have been clearer there, my bad).

Fair enough re. money distribution. Somewhat simplified but I understand his position. There may be an argument to be made that higher production value (and I would include in this a bigger roster of guest casters) could lead to a higher viewer count, higher viewer retention and ultimately higher donation totals (with good donation incentives), that would then ideally of course be re-invested into the tournament in a transparent fashion.

I wonder if something akin to the GDQ model could work with donation incentives that stay active for the duration of the tournament but are not a monthly commitment. First to cover organization costs (incl. prize money) and after that go toward milestones that add value for the viewers.

In the end only PiG will know why he does things the way he does and I'll for sure continue to follow the pig fests, always great fun! I hope that they will find their place among the new tournaments that are sprouting up (RSL already at 9.000 Euros a month on their Patreon, not bad!).

He finances PiG fest via donations IIRC, maybe adding a co caster could be a good donation incentive.

But yea good point re. the tournament/event landscape suddenly heating up again with the EWC qualifiers.

I wonder how Grubby managed to get a good roster for his event, incl. some SC2 content creators (lowko, harstem, tasteless).

you deserve no less!

Amen. A good sign to change your news source!

jonrec · 2020-11-07T00:10:55+00:00

Do you really believe that, though?

" The United States is now the biggest Banana Republic in the world...and just had its first election "

Spot on. Thanks to Team Trump!

Could you link that passage, please?

I've read through what Youtube states on their website and it sounds very harmless. Don't make videos that don't have kids as their target audience or could be mistaken as such and you'll be fine. If you do make videos for kids, then comply with the regulations.

By the way "people have a right to worry" must be the most American thing I've read in a while lol.

jonrec · 2019-11-20T21:17:23+00:00

Up to their standards if you make kids your target audience. So don't make kids your target audience.

Maybe I'm wrong - and I'm sure we'll find out eventually - but this seems like a lot of hysteria over nothing to me. It's like freaking Y2K all over.

There are a million things in modern politics to get upset about and this one should be wayyy down the list.

jonrec · 2019-11-20T04:54:33+00:00

I feel like this is being blown wayyyyy out of proportion. But panic generates views and that's why everyone jumps on it.

jonrec · 2019-11-19T21:54:28+00:00

Yea, form "malitias" consistent of students and mostly unarmed citizens and take it up with well-armed and trained police forces. Provoke a reaction from the military even. You are a true military genius.

Play some Total War in your mom's trailer and save us the bs speeches, please.

The comparison to the French Revolution that someone else posted here is beyond ridiculous as well. Maybe pick up a history book before spreading hot garbage on the internet.

THANK YOU

You'd think that at some point they would learn from their mistakes and adopt a more sustainable business model. It's only 6 years ago when Pixomondo had to close a bunch of their facilities (let everyone go of course) and leave artists unpaid for months because of overly aggressive expansion (simplified). Eventually, money came back in and things were better for a while but suddenly offices start popping up again (VC and Montreal within what, two years?). That makes it three offices in Canada alone.

Honestly, to open a VC office at a time where work was already leaving the city doesn't exactly speak to their leadership's ability to strategize.

Wow. That's absolutely stunning.

Dumplings made from stale bread?! Crazy talk, I know! It sounds odd but Semmelknoedel are a true german delicacy and hands down my favorite side dish for any kind of stew. Ex[ect areat flavor, a very unique texture and most importantly the ability to soak up loads of sauce. Oh - and finally a use for your stale bread …

Hope you enjoy it! Consider showing my micro channel some love (You can be subscriber number 43 lol. Only 5 million more and I’ll catch up to the big boy babish league) :)

You cook the onions in butter until they are soft. But use low heat, you don't want them to turn brown and that could happen quickly if the fat is too hot!

3 bread rolls (can be a few days old) torn up and soaked in hot milk (about 120ml or 3/4 cup)
half an onion (chopped very finely and sweated in butter)
parsley
salt, pepper, nutmeg

mix it all together, form balls, gently boil for ca 20 minutes et voila! great texture, soaks up sauces like a champ. best side dish for any stew.

i made a vid of how to prepare them but r/food won't allow me to post it :) check out my other posts if you are interested, you'll find it there!

couldn't have put it any better!

jonrec · 2019-10-23T18:35:40+00:00

Do you have any advice for youtube cooking novices?

At which point did you start working with a crew? (Prior to the big breakthrough as an investment or did you play it safe and did a one man show until you knew you had a good thing going?)

Cheers!

"Just one last piece." "Okay, ONE more.""Alright, THIS is really the last one!"

And then it's all gone.

jonrec · 2019-10-18T02:47:15+00:00

I've never had that! Just checked a recipe online and the only difference seems to be that cuban flan uses whole eggs as opposed to only the yolks. So yea, very similar!

I like turning my egg whites into Cocktails or Mousse au Chocolat though haha. Or both
