2018-04-13 19:14:56 UTC

what kind of punishment is that lmao

2018-04-13 19:16:07 UTC

but as it turns out its just a steelseries promotional thing i think

2018-04-13 19:16:29 UTC

for there brand new daddy issues headset line

2018-04-13 19:16:36 UTC

isnt it multiple of them joining and then ganging up on the offender?

2018-04-13 19:16:58 UTC

someone on the steelseries marketing team drank the coolaid and thought this was a good idea

2018-04-13 19:17:32 UTC

falko, there are systems in place against that sort of thing in most games

2018-04-13 19:18:01 UTC

like you cant outnumber the other team too much, it wont allow you to join the team with too many people already

2018-04-13 19:18:24 UTC

but even then, all they can do is play the game

2018-04-13 19:18:50 UTC

if a "bully" is being hunted, he can use that to gain an advantage

2018-04-13 19:19:04 UTC

people hunting bullies dont capture points

2018-04-13 19:19:17 UTC

and if they dont they are just playing the game

2018-04-13 19:20:56 UTC

you assume they want to win and not just be massive bullies

2018-04-13 19:21:08 UTC

its irrelevant

2018-04-13 19:21:35 UTC

even if they are massive bullies, the bully being bullied can just use that to distract one or more members of the opposing team to gain an advantage

2018-04-13 19:22:14 UTC

so what if he gets killed all the time, he is distracting the opposing team members

2018-04-13 19:22:52 UTC

yeah... the first part is the important one if they dont care about winning

2018-04-13 19:23:36 UTC

if you dont aim to win you lose

2018-04-13 19:23:42 UTC

and then the bully wins

2018-04-13 19:24:17 UTC

but he got bullied while doing so, which apparently is the point

2018-04-13 19:24:33 UTC

i dono

2018-04-13 19:24:38 UTC

i guess there might be bullies who care

2018-04-13 19:24:56 UTC

but i usually am of the opinion that people that talk smack can get smacktalked back without much problem too

2018-04-13 19:25:10 UTC

its like a game

2018-04-13 19:25:59 UTC

i suspect most bullies in that situation would get satisfaction out of the fact his smack talk allowed his team to gain an advatage in the competition

2018-04-13 19:27:41 UTC

depends on their character

2018-04-13 19:28:25 UTC

some people have to be the guy that gets all the kills

2018-04-13 19:29:22 UTC

interesting bit of journalism if true

2018-04-13 19:29:33 UTC

some matchups are staged

2018-04-13 19:32:31 UTC

the absolute meme

2018-04-13 19:32:43 UTC

literal "the hacker named 4chan"

2018-04-13 19:36:17 UTC

beware though tim, if you do a video about this, they will bully you in your occasional hearthstone game

2018-04-13 19:36:30 UTC

jade druid after jade druid you shall face

2018-04-13 19:39:17 UTC

hmm... or dmca your video apparently...

2018-04-13 20:56:19 UTC

Let em

2018-04-13 20:56:23 UTC

Seriously, letem

2018-04-13 20:56:35 UTC

Fair Use is fair fucking use, the H3H3 case has signified that sufficiently.

2018-04-13 21:43:54 UTC

@I AM ERROR you forget, think about what a victory for a troll it is for your victim to literally call for reenforcements because they are unable to deal with you. It just gives the troll fuel to call the target weak and justify his attempt to rattle you as successful.

2018-04-14 12:20:22 UTC

nibba i know took pics in france of fighter jets flying low overhead

2018-04-14 12:20:58 UTC

i wonder what a jet like thats capacity is for white flags

2018-04-14 15:51:03 UTC

depends: are you meaning for the jet to fly a white flag or to airdrop white flags to the troops below?

2018-04-14 19:16:09 UTC

bullyhunters update

2018-04-14 19:16:36 UTC

diverse gaming coalition has withdrawn its support from the bullyhunters campaign

2018-04-14 19:17:18 UTC

in part due to the behavior of Zombi unicorn

2018-04-14 19:21:21 UTC

unrelated but.. well worrying escalation

2018-04-14 19:21:40 UTC

"professor who was targeted by antifa found dead in his home"

2018-04-14 19:22:02 UTC

pic with a hammer and sickle and some grafitti

2018-04-14 19:22:20 UTC

Is that the same report as before or is it another one?

2018-04-14 19:22:35 UTC

this seems like the sauce for the minds post

2018-04-14 19:24:25 UTC

inspired by SPK, a neo marxist group, who belive mental illness is a side effect of capitalism

2018-04-14 19:26:24 UTC

death was not suspishious though

2018-04-14 19:26:37 UTC

no sign of foul play...

2018-04-14 19:26:45 UTC

weird, i mean

2018-04-14 19:26:53 UTC

Of course not.

2018-04-14 19:26:57 UTC

he was kinda old, but not heart attack old

2018-04-14 19:27:02 UTC

unles he was really fat or something

2018-04-14 19:27:12 UTC

If that were a swastika instead of a hammer and sickle it would have made worldwide news.

2018-04-14 19:27:39 UTC

i mean he is not that fat

2018-04-14 19:28:29 UTC

medical examiner is still investigating, but so far not suspicious

2018-04-14 19:44:28 UTC

more on the bullyhunters

2018-04-14 19:44:44 UTC

meeki reports that steelseries has been removed from the site

2018-04-14 19:44:56 UTC

however, going to the site atm gives a 505 error

2018-04-14 20:08:34 UTC

this bully hunters thing is reminding me of some initiative anita sarkeesian was associated with. Something about a "non-profit" she was in related to women in game that happened to endorse a book written by one of the people who was involved with the non-profit or something. The funds going to this "non-profit", if i remember, seemed to possibly be disappearing.

2018-04-14 20:38:57 UTC

Steelseries backed down?

2018-04-14 20:41:18 UTC

In regards to the limited run of headsets: 100% proceeds of the special edition version are going towards charity. We decided to support this campaign because we believe that harassment of any kind sucks.

But this was not stage-managed by us as some sort of viral campaign. We didnโ€™t come up with the idea. No money was exchanged whatsoever. We provided headsets for charity and support. (1/2)
We did so because we believe in an equal, friendly, and competitive virtual playing field for everyone.

We still do.

Be kind to each other. โค๏ธ (2/2) - this was a comment from Steelseries' twitter account

2018-04-14 20:42:31 UTC

All a company has to do is make headsets and not make social commentary.

2018-04-14 20:44:20 UTC

I'm currently wearing an Arctis 3, have for the past couple of years, because they're the best headsets I've tried (and I've tried several). I really really REALLY don't want them to go full SJW...

2018-04-14 20:47:57 UTC

Also, that IS damn scary to think that intelligence agencies are basing military action on social media...

2018-04-14 20:55:47 UTC

And again, to answer Tim's question in today's video, I absolutely disagree with trump on attacking Syria. As mentioned before, the reasoning he's using seems like facebook repost bullshit. Assad deserves the opportunity to make a case about incidents that occur in his country. Statements such as Trump's, calling him a 'Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it' - (Trump's Twitter 2018) is a reckless emotional call to action, and commits SO MANY SJW-esque infractions on common sense.

2018-04-14 21:28:38 UTC

i'm not sure if that "we have analyzed photos on twitter"-proof is better or worse than just making sh*t up.

2018-04-14 22:07:26 UTC

It's worse.

2018-04-14 22:08:13 UTC

You can't legitimately claim that foreign countries can influence people using Social media and then use social media as a bastion of truth when it matters

2018-04-14 22:09:28 UTC

I mean, would you rather we go to war on our politician's terms, or on the terms of Isis, and other Islamists? that's the question I see.

2018-04-14 22:11:39 UTC

It makes FAR MORE sense for the gas attacks to be caused by rebel forces

2018-04-14 22:13:22 UTC

And without proof being provided that this was the fault of the Assad regime, I have a hard time believing that Assad would utilize a weapon he's been forbidden to use by the national stage, on his own people, in the midst of a war that he's winning.

2018-04-14 22:14:02 UTC

Considering investigations into past uses have pointed towards rebel parties using them

2018-04-14 22:28:04 UTC

Yeah.

2018-04-14 22:35:23 UTC

there have been multiple gas attacks since the entire thing started though, not just the one recently. most where blamed on the regime.. tho from the evidence ive seen they just assume its them as they are the only people in the area that they concieve of that can make this shit

2018-04-14 22:36:15 UTC

there has been no evidence i have seen that places the blame definitevly at the feet of anyone

2018-04-14 22:36:50 UTC

its also pretty dificult, as you can make mustard gas with stuff you buy at the supermarket

2018-04-14 22:37:05 UTC

obviously not recommending you do that, im just saying its pretty simple to do

2018-04-14 22:37:47 UTC

ergo, even if you found a fully intact mustard gas cannister that has not gone of yet, if you have god like luck

2018-04-14 22:38:30 UTC

the parts are probably going to have come from china, unles they make some retard mistake by forgetting to anon-ize it, you wont be able to trace it to anyone

2018-04-14 22:40:23 UTC

proof would require a discovery of where the stuff is made, and then figure out who it is that works there

2018-04-14 22:40:52 UTC

which seems unlikely, as there is a war going on atm

2018-04-14 22:41:33 UTC

you can send investigators, but all they can tell you is what happened, not by who

2018-04-14 22:42:02 UTC

and they are probably not setting off nerve gas cannisters where they are making the stuff

2018-04-14 22:45:26 UTC

Topic Bullyhunters: SteelSeries just issued a statement.

2018-04-14 22:46:06 UTC

"BullyHunters pitched us with a simple idea - letโ€™s work together to fight online harassment. And because we believe thatโ€™s a noble cause, we supported it.

Itโ€™s now clear that we didnโ€™t do a good job in understanding exactly what we were supporting. And weโ€™re sorry for that.

The way BullyHunters represented the gaming community was wrong and disingenuous. Most gamers donโ€™t experience harassment, and more importantly, 99%+ of gamers donโ€™t do the harassing. Weโ€™re well aware of the many faults with BullyHunters. We hear you guys, and we agree.

To clear a few things up: BullyHunters was not a viral campaign stage-managed by us. We did not hire a marketing agency to create it. We didnโ€™t have anything to do with its execution, content or messaging. And more importantly, we would never take advantage of an issue like bullying to sell hardware. They asked us to supply some headsets, support the call for positive change, and we did.

Although we still believe in a world where harassment isnโ€™t tolerated, itโ€™s clear to us that BullyHunters is hurting, not helping, that cause. On Friday, we ended our support and partnership with the organization.
We apologize to those who support our brand and expect more due diligence in vetting out campaigns and partnerships we associate ourselves with." - Steelseries official Facebook.

2018-04-14 22:49:10 UTC

hmm

2018-04-14 22:49:16 UTC

not surprised

2018-04-14 22:50:00 UTC

if you want to start a campaign about something you can prolly get in touch with steelseries to make some custom headsets for you np, all they have to do is change the plastic a bit

2018-04-14 22:50:24 UTC

this does leave open something though
