Dapper_Swindler posted:https://twitter.com/ProJared/status/1129557897837342721 Heidi also literally mentioned that she went a long with it because he's a giant piece of gaslighting poo poo. Nothing he's saying here justifies anything. Even if she was in a reltationship with someone else while in an open relationship he was aware of it with while Heidi wasn't aware of his relationship with Holly which from what I understand is a big no no in open relationships. Like I would think that it would be even shadier to not disclose that you're loving someone else in an open relationship, especially when she's friends with her. "I didn't kick her out on the streets which makes me a good person" And lol at not being a manipulative rear end in a top hat when literally grooming children and turning everything around on the other person loudly speaks to the contrary.

Sometimes people (unconsciously) look at the choice between "accept that someone I like and have invested emotion in is actually terrible" and "deny a painful reality and continue to be able to like that person" and pick the option that's easier for them. We're very bad at dealing with mixes of good and bad qualities, especially when we feel attached to someone (as in these parasocial setups).

On a different note, about a week ago Core-A Gaming released a video called Why Button Mashing Doesn't Work, which is kind of a misleading title as it's more of a really, really good primer on the basics of fighting games (frame data, neutral, footsies, rushdown etc.) However, it got age restricted for some reason he can't quite figure out, and since his appeal failed he went and made a Family Man Edition of the video, replacing almost any remotely objectionable material he can find with something sillier. Still though, they're both really good videos and you should watch them.

Epic sucks and i am glad someone is putting my gut feelings into actual words. if epic had been like GoG and improved on steams model or did stuff better then i would be cool with them. but they don't do that.

If Steam hadn’t been bad and lazy for a decade they would not be successfully attacked by a competitor like the Epic Store but monopolies tend to get lazy since they have no reason to change

Linkara got together with a bunch of former Channel Awesome video producers to do another "anniversary" cross-over, though to save on time and money this time it's in the form of an audio drama. It will be released in 6 daily parts starting on June 17th. You can find the full details on Linkara's site and a teaser below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVx82zhKrLc

GoG has issues but they offer tons weird old retro games and forced steam to release those too. Epic is just flashing money at devs for exclusivity and then loving them and also spyware. gently caress em.

I was pro Epic cause Steam needed a foot to the rear end and also it was hilarious seeing how First World Problem goons in the steam thread got at having to open a second application, and trying to act like because they run a shitbox 360 their computer will not have the power to run multiple launchers at once was a legit concern. Then dug deep to pretend steam reviews and curators were something useful on steam beyond finding out the latest memes with the youths. Also no, closing a launcher when I'm not actively playing a game its on isn't a solution. But yeah spying etc.

I kinda of think that's going to be a partial mystery until we find out , hopefully after the final book drops, what the actual information/guidelines GRRM gave D&D to use for the remainder of the show. I also wonder if there is any pact or what not, if the way things turned out was directed by GRRM, but then he sees the negative reaction and changes the ending in the book.

He's a makeup artist on YouTube that's recently gotten poo poo lobbed at him for attempting to pressure and coerce straight guys into sleeping with him. The guy is a total piece of poo poo but a lot of awful people are using this to further the whole predatory gays thing now.

"we need to break up the monopoly!" *gets paid a boatload by epic to be an exclusive for a year* valve has hosed up steam for years by just letting anything and everything on and it'd be pretty easy to make a better storefront.

My understanding of the imbroglio is: James Charles is a popular makeup youtube guy James Charles was approached to do some kind of product endorsement Said product endorsement was for a company that was a competitor of James Charles's mentor (?) The mentor got mad and revealed various lovely things James Charles did, mostly the being a sex pest thing Makeup youtube is apparently prepared to explode at any moment over just about anything.

Epic just managed to gently caress up all their goodwill extremely fast.

Lindsey herself said both 7 and 8 needed 10 episodes plus other fixes and i agree. from reading the leaked ending episode, its dumb but alot of it is what i assumed would happen since season 3.

Epic isn't spyware, that was based on a clueless misunderstanding of how any software at all works. Also, Steam reviews are bombed to poo poo any time ~gamers~ are aggrieved in any way, they're a totally unreliable metric.
