I regularly warn kids away from it. Long hours for meh money. The whole industry is a cautionary tale of how exempt status for employees can be horribly abused. 

Agreed. I even feel bad when I have to stay a half an hour to an hour late at work and miss time with my boy. Can’t imagine putting in the kind of time developers do.

This is a decidedly dumb chant for a dumb and useless team, but 125 years ago, Brazilians were imitating English football culture shamelessly. The game was brought over by an English immigrant, Corinthians is named after a now defunct club in the UK, and Cruzeiro and Palmeiras were started as Italian club photocopies.…

“Man, i am so embarrassed that a country without a history of soccer culture takes their cues from a place that has a history of soccer culture”

Part timer here. I do it three days a week, have a small community of people who always enjoy the streams and make some donations. For me, I just have fun with it. I don’t put on any sort of act. I interact with viewers etc.

I am asking it to his asking of it. I ask why is gaming so important to sacrifice health and family. Why is it so important just so that you get some people following you anonymously.

I find his personal history and him getting better cool, but some of it seems very stupid too. His experience is not unique and many before him and his friend have died from the hardships of streaming.

It’s the amount of exercise you get that is the difference. Most careers you are not going to be sitting mostly motionless at a desk so you stay in the webcam box at all times. You’re getting up to talk to coworkers, attend meetings, meet clients, etc etc etc. The motionless sitting part is what is so bad for your…

He said that 18 hour days eventually became his norm.

Except they’ve made it work for ten more years after she cheated. So obviously there’s still hope there. It hasn’t happened again and both of them are still very interested in being together.

Did you read the whole letter?

Because there is nothing to understand.

It’s a mature reading of the situation that relies on nuance to make its point.

He did play it since it was technically licensed and released, but he doesn’t have the cart (since it can cost between $10K and $40K). Maybe someone will be very generous!

I’m curious if he was able to get his hands on and played “Stadium Events” for the NES. Or does that not fit the criteria of a North American released-game?

He did it without using the ABBA continue code (because the game does not actually provide that, despite everyone using it in their youth). He was one of only a few (2 or 3) people with video proof that they had beaten it that way at the time. It was a great achievement.

This is actually an incredible achievement. Grats to this guy and I secretly hope he gets some cool acknowledgment from Nintendo (doubtful, but it would be awesome).

Ugh the evil rich white man narrative again. Give it a fucking rest man

And the context of Pewdiepie’s thing seems to be a dark humor, dead baby humor type joke where the idea of killing all Jews is such a horrible thing to say. The joke fell flat but given the context it’s not like the video was cheering on genocide,’or at least that was my take.

With all the stuff that guy has done recently, I completely forgot that the character of a Borat was antisemitic.
