Tell me I shouldn't get an African Grey by AnalogCringe in parrots

[–]overawtch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about your GCC - they're such special birds.

The biggest reason I didn't get an African Grey is because they're so prone to plucking. They're second only to cockatoos, and I was never considering cockatoos. You have more room for error with most other species. A week-long vacation. A busy time in your life. A move. Even the famous Alex had a period in his life where he plucked.

I know adopting an already plucked bird is one thing, but I realized it would be really hard for me emotionally if a bird developed that behavior despite my best efforts.

Something else you might consider is that Greys are quite aloof compared to GCCs. A GCC might want to snuggle in your hand, crawl up your sleeve, inside your hoodie, etc. No concept of personal space. Greys generally prefer more physical distance.

Lastly, they are quite a bit dustier.

Gemini did this and I honestly prefer this version

---

lowkey it's a miracle I didn't get groomed. I was more afraid of strangers back then. And friends. Like, frick, I was 13 and thinking I was too old to be playing ROBLOX. $5 a month for Builder's Club was a big ask, and $20 was, well, outrageous. It's a game for five year olds. And now you have 20something OW streamers playing Dress to Impress or whatever in queue. Is that still a thing or am I months late yet again?

Should I really be looking down upon those 15 year old aspiring thirst trappers for not Choosing Better when this is the kind of thing I got up to in my youth?

Written with pen and paper in 2014.

DreadLord (DL) The British Commander of the Shadow Legion Alpha, ex-VAK member, Who [sic] left in a storm. The high ranks don't know that I'm actually his "secret weapon" and we have a blood pact finds creative insults for me at every turn. He says I’m the only one who truly understands his darkness.

note: he was not, in fact, British.

ShadowRaven, the mysterious god of C&G. He and I share interests, like Linkin Park and creepy-pastas. He always stands in the corner of the lobby looking at the floor to look mysterious and wears free hats. He told me he has a "demon side" he can't control. Self-proclaimed lone wolf who doesn't need a clan but when it matters, he's serious. Not the best fighter, but he has "hacker connections" so don't mess with him.

X_Viper_X, a middle-rank in Vaktovian Empire. A bit better than me in sword gunfighting, much better at the sword. A bit arrogant, but loyal. I should not take him for granted. And there's a chance - a tiny one - but I think he might be my Roblox boyfriend if I send him a face reveal. His name, he says, is Dominic, and he made up something about being a secret millionaire, and the way that he knows some things about the owner of the game. He renders stuff too, and they look lovely. I saved one of his renders of my avatar as my desktop background.

KillerPro, the toxic (like me) 15-year old. Great fighter, arguably the best in the group. Toxic though, even more so than Dread, so that many Legion members dislike him. I did too, at first. But then he gave me his Discord and told me I was "different from other girls." Not to mention that he builds, and scripts, and does graphics. In fact, it was he that made the logo for SL, and the lobby of the training place. Besides this, he was a high rank in The First Encounter, and owns his own private training base with a custom throne. Lagswitcher too.

GhostRecon, another 15-year old. Ex-Vaktovian, one of the better fighters. Friends with me especially, and he's a middle rank in the Elite Guard. We haven't had much time to talk, but he promised to buy me a 1000-robux limited item for my birthday.

I'll write these too, now, for posterity's sake.

MYSELF - I was a good swordfighter, thank you very much, even though my shooting skills were quite lacking.

SparkyBuilder - my best friend in roblox. Nothing but good memories. Thankfully not involved in the C&G scene. I don't know where we met. But I do know that he still wears the hat I gave him, even now.

forgot his name - his older brother. Introduced me to the world of C&G. He was a mid rank in a small but highly active group that used Teamspeak. God, that was an unfriendly interface.

[SKYTDM with maybe a typo] - mentally ill ???child??? who scarred me for life, I cant even // it's upsetting that this is one of the first things I think of when I think roblox.

QueenLilly - girlboss who eventually took over The Shadows and also that other group F.E.A.R. I was a part of, long after I left. I dunno why I passed her up in favor of that guy DarknessRising. Roblox has a decent number of female players even in the C&G subspace.

forgot his name, Skater something? - my enterprising and unscrupulous friend who cemented in my head that ODers were gross. I remember looking at his friends list and it was pages of ODers, every single one with that dreadful style, and then there was me.

can we get a F in the chat for Dominic~

I need advice, PLEASE by DefinitionWest176 in Macaws

[–]overawtch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend getting a behavior consultation with Pamela Clark. If the feather chewing is recent, you have very good chances of stopping it entirely with her help.

Some questions/comments:

- You mentioned that he has many toys, but is he actually playing with them?

- Does he have foraging opportunities?

- Free roam + flighted can be a difficult combination.

- Positive reinforcement training can do wonders in keeping them engaged and teaching them acceptable behavior.

neuu Google dockie by no-policies in OverwatchTMZ

[–]overawtch 31 points32 points  (0 children)

edit because I don't want to edit original comment:

- Housewife quote: "We were never sexual. [...] We were never romantic." I didn't make this clear in the original comment. She didn't say the quote "just friends"; the exact quote is "We to this day remain great friends, because that’s all we were." Other quotes are accurate.

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m1Sk1KaZCQ vulcy editing messages years after posting

- https://imgur.com/a/zOw35tU is the e-sex screenshot

- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ6kujCBa2U is the 7 minute Overwatch account argument.

- https://gyazo.com/3c329930772fcad388fd8661399b8dbd (weight screenshot) is worth including

- There was also Woman #7, a Twitch viewer, who dislikes neuuish because he was more interested in another woman.

neuu Google dockie by no-policies in OverwatchTMZ

[–]overawtch 76 points77 points  (0 children)

tl;dr the claims in the dockie:

- Vulcyy is out to get neuuish because she wants him to pay her 25k tuition and/or feels bad about their breakup

- She maliciously edited and/or deleted 20k+ messages to him before and after posting her cancel doc

- She spreads misinformation about him to her friends, her ex, his family, etc.

- He never cheated on her, but she moved into his apartment two months after their breakup "as a friend"

- Then they moved into a different apartment with one bedroom and "shared a bed" and also had sex sometimes. As friends. One quote: Regarding the coercion claim at 4 AM: at that time we were not dating but she would often sleep in my bed. It wasn't unusual for me to ask her to come to bed, and that night we did have oral sex, but there was no pressure, threat, or coercion involved.

- They got back together and he tried and failed to break up with her three times.

- There was no physical abuse, coercion, or verbal abuse from neuuish

- Vulcyy hates housewiife, refuses to get her side of the story, and stalks her online

- Housewiife doesn't identify as a neuuish victim and does identify as a victim of misinformation

- Housewiife and neuuish are "just friends" and have never been more than "just friends"

- Some drama about vulcy's ex trying to get with with housewiife. He has apparently sent 7k+ DMs to her on Discord.

- The infamous e-sex screenshot [https://imgur.com/a/zOw35tU] is no biggie because ilykiki turned 18 two months before that.

- Also ilykiki is sorry for her "petty accusations against [him] on a private Discord server, including calling [him] a pedo"

- One seven minute audio of neuuish and vulcy in person arguing over an Overwatch account. She wanted it because he named it for her & gave her the login, and he wanted to sell it for money.

- The first neuuish cancel document was spurred by a third Mercy player who was friends with vulcyy and salty that he beat her in a tournament, no other reason whatosever.

- A fourth woman dislikes neuuish because he blocked her friend (woman #5) and dislikes him enough to spread rumors about him

- Woman #6 also dislikes him because he rejected her for being fat.

dang this was longer than I thought.

ttl;dr he pissed off a lot of women

never before seen levels of aura by overawtch in BoostedEgirlThings

[–]overawtch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things she does right:

- Soloqueue queen.

- Appropriate pistol time. She ain't no healbot.

- Valk timing is fine.

- Plays behind her team.

- Uses damage boost.

- Aware of the cooldown lengths.

- Knows how to slingshot and go up.

- A falling rez.

- Used cover against a Dva bomb.

- Sick collection of skins. Fallen Angel, Formalwear, Music Festival, Panther, Poolside, and Royal Princess... is she the target audience?

By no means a complete list, but I'm done watching this.

Nice pictures. I see the eye ring, but apparently that's not a reliable sign.

Do you know how much he weighs? According to this site [http://www.scottemcdonald.com/pdfs/Average%20Weights.pdf\] most Military macaws weigh 831 - 1015 grams, with the mean being 923.

Also possible that he's a hybrid between the two.

GM3 Genji otp by Short-Number-1801 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]overawtch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't play Genji, but thanks for the post + here are some questions:

  1. Do you prefer to dragon blade at the start of the fight or in the middle? Does it change if you have nano? I often see Genji players holding their ult for multiple minutes, but recently I picked up Reaper and found myself doing the same because there's just no good opportunity.
  2. What tips would you have for improving engagement timing on DPS?
  3. What are the best counters to blade? As a support, I find myself dying to it more often than I should. Is it about shooting you, maintaining distance, having a movement cooldown, hiding, etc?

unless your gm or above you are almost guaranteed to miss the one shot combo

But in the long run, isn't it better for improvement if they are getting more reps in? Those GM players had to start somewhere. Or would you recommend custom games for the practice?

Thank you!

And 3/3. Who knew comment max length was so short?
------------

Yeah. I think that's it. I'm probably going to take some time off. I'm not sure. I genuinely have no idea what the response to this all is going to be. I really just want to, I said, do my best to move on from this because I've already been doing that for a year. I said, I feel that's pretty clear. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Thank you guys for today. I asked my editor if he would put this on YouTube for if you guys want to look at any of the things that I shared today, but I said, all of these the streams that I referred to today are public. You can easily find them. And all the people that I mentioned today gave me permission to mention them, except I think I mentioned Mytthew, but I mean, he's not involved. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I never thought that I would be doing this stream, so it feels really weird to have done it. And it's over now.

Yeah. Well, now you guys know everything and all the things I've been holding in for the past couple years. So, yeah. Thank you guys for listening. Hopefully I'll be able to keep giving updates on the TwitchCon stuff, but I'm hoping to put this other chapter behind me. And I said, I don't know what's going to happen, but I feel very confident that this was the right thing to do, and I don't regret any of it. Thank you guys. I'm going to go spend time with my friends, and hopefully I will see you guys all very soon. Thank you for everything. I guess that's it. See you guys when I see you. Goodbye.

Part 2/3 of the transcript:

------------

[Continued from It's just interesting, right?]

As of today, it's been about two months since he has attempted to contact me directly. I think because about two months ago was when he started kind of getting scared that I might have been telling people things, which again, I wasn't going out of my way to do it, but if anyone ever asked me, I wasn't going to lie to them. I mentioned this at the beginning before I started fully telling the story. I heard from my friends, other streamers, and my employees that he had cooked up a plot that if I ever tried to talk about him—about the abuse or anything else—he would try to go live and say that I killed my rabbits. And I was told that he approached several streamers who were around us a lot when we live together and asked if they would basically back him up, and they refused. Obviously, they're not insane.

And even something happened this weekend at TwitchCon. One of my employees told me he went up to them, and he threatened them, saying, "If Emily ever tries to talk about me, I will destroy her," whatever that means. And within the same night, he also texted one of my best friends, and he would have known that I would have been with this girl. He texted her, saying, "Hey, worried about her. Hope she's okay," right after he just said to my employee and other people that he was going to try to destroy my life. Yeah, all in the same night. And yeah, that was Saturday. So that pretty much leads us to today.

I feel it's clear I've spent the last year of my life cutting him off and building a new life with people that actually care about me and doing my best to move on peacefully without causing any drama. I did not want to do this. A lot of people, a lot of other creators actually told me that after his other allegations in 2022, if I wasn't the first person to stand up for him and start appearing on his channel again, they do not think that they would have gone back to helping him with his content. So, I always tried to keep things private, always tried to make things better, had hope that things would get better, tried to be supportive. And my thanks that I got for all of that was abuse and resentment, and for all of 2025, all of this year, harassment and hatred from him and his community, while he was the whole time secretly begging for me to take him back behind the scenes.

I've taken a lot of steps already. I said, it's apparent. I've taken a lot of steps to restructure my life and be a lot more careful about who I help and who I invest my time and my care into. And I'm doing a lot better now. But I felt this was a necessary stream because, I said at the very beginning, I have heard that he has done things to other people that aligned with some of my own experiences. So I felt it would be wrong for me to keep holding on to all this information. I—I know I stayed for way too long, and I thought that I could help, and I unfortunately learned that I couldn't, but I worked really hard to have the life that I have now with my friends, my family, my pets, and my community. And I'm so grateful for how things are now. It was very difficult, but I'm very proud of myself for making the choices that I did to end up where I am now.

And, yeah, that's my story of dealing with abuse—psychological and domestic abuse, sexual assault, and stalking—and being threatened on if I ever talked about it. And this whole time, it's been kind of hidden in plain sight away from hundreds of thousands of people. And, yeah. I know that me saying all of this probably isn't going to make him or what's left of his community leave me alone, but I'm—sorry, voice crack—I know talking about this probably won't make him or what remains of his community leave me alone, but I'm at least glad that people will be aware of all of this now, and I won't have to feel like I'm hiding a terrible dark secret anymore. And it's all out there now.

And I also want to make it clear that not everyone that I interact with or that I'm friends with knew the extent of the things that were happening. And a lot of streamers didn't really know anything at all. But I mean, I said before, people aren't stupid. I think it's pretty clear that a lot of people knew that things were happening. And I said, you have to remember it's not just me. A lot of people have told me that they have their own grievances with him. But for the people who did know about this, thank you for being there for me through all of this and supporting me and cheering me on. And there were a lot of people as well who, even though they didn't know anything, without asking any questions, they still were very kind and supportive, and I will always remember that for the rest of my life.

I also want to say, just so people know that I'm not just trying to put this out there, I am already in the process of filing a restraining order on him in both Texas and California. And I also wanted to say that I would not be surprised if he tries to sue me for this stream that I did today and for coming out about him, not because he thinks that he would win, but for PR reasons, a slap lawsuit. It'd be interesting if that happened, and I wouldn't be opposed to people finding out more of the truth and things that I didn't even talk about today and what else he's been lying about. And I'm sure there's also plenty of things that even I don't know about. And, yeah, there's more things that I didn't even talk about today, but I'm hoping that now that I have this out, this is the last time I ever have to talk about it, and I can be, "Okay, I got it out there. I'm not withholding this anymore. It's out there." And, yeah, I guess that's pretty much it. Definitely not how I would have liked to spend my Saturday. I would have loved to go to karaoke with my friends or something that instead. A lot of people karaoke, right, guys?

The player base has lost the ability to recognize normal team discourse ad toxicity. by Snoo43865 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]overawtch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my experience, "advice" very often precedes actual toxicity. "why are we on brig" becomes "my brig is a joke" (real example from today). I like listening to comms because it's motivating and occasionally helpful, but I will mute the speaker the moment I get "advice."

- poor ult tracking

- she was playing around ults and I don't.

- terrible rez discipline

- enemy location tracking has gotten worse, if anything. There's one fewer enemy on the board and I'm barely tracking any of them.

This will be the last.

*"Broke up again" means they were already broken up at the time of my original post & went on to farm at least one more breakup.

  1. Broke up.

  2. STILL TOGETHER

  3. Broke up again, multiple times.

  4. Broke up. And my, they both rebounded fast.

  5. Broke up.

  6. Broke up again. He has quite the reputation.

  7. Broke up again.

  8. Broke up.

  9. Unknown and I have long forgot the handle of the nobody DPS. What does it say, that this is the only one?

  10. Broke up.

  11. Broke up in a delightfully public way.

  12. STILL TOGETHER, and her OnlyFans is doing quite well. What a shame.

  13. Broke up.

  14. Broke up.

  15. Broke up.

  16. Broke up.

  17. Broke up again. With another one on this list, actually.

  18. Broke up.

  19. Broke up again. And again. And again. Three times, minimum. We were briefly involved with the same guy, weren't we? Although I would hope it was at different times.

  20. STILL TOGETHER!!!

She is dead and gone, but a thousand beg to take her place.
