Capt. Wolf

Same, I have to use a VPN every night at work because Comcast doesn’t allow Parsec on their public wifi. Haven’t had an issue in the years I’ve been doing it.

Guessing either the VPN is shady or the IP was already banned from other people doing bad stuff. That I do have happen once in a while with Google, “We’ve detected malicious traffic on this IP address, blah blah blah.”

Nuzu…

Dispose of Yuzu,

for my amuzument!

Not shocked at all. Things have gone way downhill since I started with the platform. Time was, I’d start up a stream, a dev would come and hang out and actively chat while they worked. Occasionally they’d ask about my opinion about things that were being developed. It felt like actual, meaningful stuff… That was back when it was still Justin.tv and just a little bit after twitch.tv released. When I stopped streaming regularly a couple years ago, even getting a straight answer from a rep on simple questions was like pulling teeth. Then I’d have times where I’d get several different and conflicting responses for simple stuff like if what we were planning for an event would be kosher. Even arranging for some site coverage felt like begging the mob for a favor. “Alright, we’ll get you front page, but it’ll be at 4am, and only for an hour!”

“but titty streamers are still okay!”

This should be a glaring warning for anyone. The translation for this statement is only ever "WE ARE DOING OR PLAN TO DO SHADY, LIKELY ILLEGAL THINGS WITH YOUR INFORMATION! _{#plsdontsuekthx}“

I’ve never had that cap with them, but then I’m also not paying for standard internet…

AT&T is another. Depending on your tier, they give you “unlimited usage” but only up to a certain usage point. After that they supposedly throttle you down as low as 2g speeds depending on your tier and network load.

Net neutrality can’t get brought back fast enough!

Getting caught this time:

When they inevitably get caught doing it again:

The later, during the executive meeting:

Project ED-209

To the dudes who always added one single onion ring to my fries every time I went to Burger King or the late night group at Wendy’s that will occasionally destroy my work dinner with like 4-5 extra patties, you’re the real heroes.

I never could beat it as a kid either. It was just way too complex. I loved just wandering around and exploring though, and the music is one of the best game soundtracks ever!

The parents are playable characters, Xemn the father, and Meyna the mother.

They’re all characters from a great game called Legacy of the Wizard.

Bang…

Considering how long we’ve had nuclear power and how short a time electricity has widely been in use, 2000 years is a crazy long time. Given how quickly we’ve developed power generation technology, it’s highly likely that we adopt other technologies like solar, wind, and hopefully fusion reactors long before we run out of uranium.

Oh, I’d so love to go for a Halloween show! That’s gonna be sick! My wife and I went a few months ago for my birthday. Talked to the head of the group after and they’re doing Shock Treatment soon!

Because there’s a socially acceptable acceptable age for some things… How would you feel if a fat, bearded, 40-something man like me came to your house trick or treating, no kids in tow, just me by my lonesome?

I’m not saying don’t have fun as an adult. God knows life is mundane enough. You want to dress up for Halloween? Go ahead! I know I will be! There’s just something off putting to me about adults going door to door begging for candy. I’m just saying it’s kinda weird.

Nah man, that’s definitely weird. I stopped around 13-14. After that, my friends and I got together for parties.

She’s old enough to buy her own candy, it’s time to quit mooching and creeping out the neighbors.

Meanwhile, YouTube executives

I set a goal for myself to get through as many of Stephen King’s books as I can before the end of the year. To date, I’ve gone through over half of the Dark Tower series, The Shining, Dr. Sleep, It, Later, Under The Dome, Bag of Bones, Desperation, If It Bleeds, and I’m working on The Stand right now. Most of them are quite long, 15 - 50ish hours.

If you’re not into horror, I still highly recommend The Dark Tower series. The recordings for the first 5 books are over 100 hours. They unfortunately had to change narrators in the 5th book, as the original sadly passed away. He did an amazing job at bringing the characters to life.

If It Bleeds is a short story collection, but it contains a sequel to King’s The Outsider, followed by Holly, which just came out last month.

Huh…

Shame those greedy security guys wanted to get paid so bad.
