My first ever exposure to Druids was Mandalore and Shammy streaming it, so when I found out that retsupurae also did it I was beyond disheartened that in whatever version they were watching, Lowry had been patched to actually sit properly in his chair instead of float above it like a vengeful god.

lowry floating above the chair was the spark that lit the powderkeg, but the powderkeg wasn't ready yet when retsupurae did those videos. it needed time.

Seriously Leal, what you're saying is not just stupid it's morally loving gutless. You entitled little loving grub.

Tempting as it may be, there's a log that lists all your mod actions so the admins can see when you do poo poo like redtext people with your mod powers, even if they might completely deserve it. Plus I tried super hard to stay impartial as a mod because mods with posting grudges tended to be hated and with good reason.

The Retsupurae videos may not have aged well, but some of them just stick in my head. "My answer will be less than ten minutes because that is the Youtube limit" still makes me laugh, which also shows how old they are.

Was it Retsupurae who did a whole video chatting about the person playing the game only to, about 8 minutes in say somthing like "should we tell them that we're not actually talking about the video yet?"

I've been looking for that particular video for years.

My favourite Dahir Insaat video was the one real video they published that was supposed to be a proof of concept for their insane and unfeasible hyper-actuated servo arm poo poo and the thing could barely move, was incredibly unstable, and appeared to break down halfway through the video.

Shortly after that video went up, Dahir Insaat tried to scrub the internet of all traces of itself :thunk:

Hell Bed will always be my favorite, but there’s a special place in my heart for that insane quadcopters-lifting-large-stuff-over-overpasses-then-putting-them-back-on-trucks object transportation system. It was a bad idea on an unheard of number of levels.

Lowtax was basically a non-entity in terms of modding decisions for years and definitely wasn't a factor during my modding term. He'd just come in, do some dumb bullshit and the real admins like Jeffrey, FAU, and ZDR would try to clean it up as best they could, but really they were the ones running the place and the folks we'd take stuff up the chain to, not Lowtax. And yeah they were generally levelheaded and frowned upon snap-judgement big bombastic actions in favour of more even-handed punishments. I think the biggest thing I did as a mod was kick [the creepy stalker gadfly rear end in a top hat who shall go unnamed] out of both here and LP, and FAU had my back on it because, well, all I did was pull the trigger on something that had been brewing for months at that point.


McCloud posted:

Maybe some mods acted that way, but I only did title changes as rewards or to fix people getting redtexted when asked or as harmless jokes. I tended to be pretty swing happy with probations and telling people to shut up and gently caress off in said probation reasons when I thought they were being dipshits and assholes, but I always found redtexting a step too far and way too overtly malicious especially for a mod-driven action.

QCS loves to malign the poo poo out of the mods, but in my experience they've been some of the funnest, chillest, most levelheaded and thoughtful posters I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with--the very obvious exceptions notwithstanding.

it was hypercam that had the watermarks that RP made fun of, and... firstly, hypercam was a complete pile of poo poo that nobody should ever use, and secondly, they were using an ultra-limited shareware version that added a watermark when FRAPS was right loving there and iirc didn't watermark your footage

To be fair to hypercam, eventually they dropped the watermark bullshit. (At least for hypercam 2 they did. I know because I still have that poo poo installed on an old laptop of mine, in case I want to make combat videos for my Master of Orion 3 LP.)

My personal favorite is the one where Dahir Insaat re-purposes some kind of mining equipment idea into a "method" of scraping cholesterol from the inside of your blood vessels, using inflatable tires and lots of knives. That poo poo was insane.

It was never posted anywhere, but in between rounds of commentary for an LP I did a Retsuprae of the Dahir Insaat DentistBot video with ChaosArgate and Jobbo_Fett and I just remember saying something during it like "God, could you imagine if this tiny high pressure device with all its wires, servos, and drill bits malfunctioned and just went berserk inside your mouth? If I went to a dentist and they pulled this horrifying thing out of and tried to stick it on one of my teeth, I'd get up out of the chair and never go back for another checkup."
