Right? A single fucky router bringing down some of the most popular services on the internet... that shouldn’t be a thing anymore. Large swathes of the internet are still held together by duct tape and fervent wishes. 

I find it pretty damn concerning that one crap router can cause this much trouble. 

Imagine creating an organization that celebrates conspicuous consumption and unearned wealth and then having either the extreme self-awareness, or the extreme lack thereof, to call your organization One Percent.

I hate every fucking inch of this.

The excuse always lobbed up from fans of these personalities are that it’s all a ‘schtick,’ and comedy. As if all these edge-lord streamers went to school for performance, spent years studying and working their craft. No, as we are seeing again and again, they’re just shitty people.

Twitch HQ was ashamed when Marie Kondo visited.

Said it before, I’ll say it again.

Maybe Twitch has finally realized that the platform is big enough that it doesn’t need to indulge individual celebrity assholes to survive.

Don’t insult white men in their 50s. I’m one of them, and I don’t give a shit about this either.

That’s what’s bugging me about this. Guinness seems to be undervaluing the actual emulator and prioritizing the eyewitness testimony, which from what I know is basically the exact opposite of what they should be doing

I mean, they did that by showing his words though. Sure it’s well edited to illustrate the narrative, but they didn’t narrate over those scenes. Nor did they add things.

We just see Billy being a dick.

And then we see it happening in ~real life~ too.

EDIT: Real life was the wrong phrase, we see it happening outside the…

I’ve never seen King of Kong, or anything where this dude actually speaks. I’ve only seen the picture of him smirking at the camera and this one. I’ve only seen his stupid-ass ties.

Dude. Cate Blanchett getting cast in an Eli Roth driven Borderlands (aka a garbage fire) would no more grant legitimacy to video game movies than Bob Hoskins did for them in Super Mario Brothers.

..maybe you could just stop reading it instead?

And you keep your job after this?

Show of hands...

If you had the personal email/phone number of your company’s CEO, someone who is one of the most powerful people in their entire industry, who could end your entire career without a second thought if you rubbed them the wrong way...would you contact them, for any reason?

Honestly, if things are so bad…

“I have Parkinson’s Disease and Asthma. Plus I’m 56 years old. So don’t lecture me on risk.”

So the guy making all the money is willing to literally die to make more, therefore everyone else making minimum wage should be willing to die too (and/or potentially kill others) in order to help him. What an unconscionable…

Holy shit. I was fully expecting another company that wasn’t taking the problem seriously (or not as seriously as their lost profits, anyway) but to push outright dangerous pseudoscientific bullshit like this to their employees? That’s a whole new level of low.

Excellent work, Agent. The money has been wired to your account.
