Who wants to hear my, “Why reddit got image hosting of its own when it did” conspiracy theory? No one? Too bad, posting it anyhow.

Few years ago reddit had a subreddit called fatpeoplehate. It existed to, you guessed it, hate fat people. “Fattie” became an insult du juor. One day they find out an imgur employee is fat, and start in on being shitters. This apparently was the straw that broke the camels back because they finally got banned.

My theory is simple: reddit didn’t ban fatpeoplehate because they went too far. They banned it because imgur threatened to block them and being the image site, this would fuck reddit up. Imagine being a social media site with no pictures. Impossible.

Reddit, not too long after that, adds image hosting. Could it be a coincidence? Sure. Do I think its one? Not really.

Fun addendum, a study was done post-ban and reddit actually became less toxic after the ban. Crazy how denying shitty folks a platform actually makes your site better, whoda thunk?

I put the STD in Stud, all I need is U.

Some folks might be on some prosperity gospel bullshit, but I don’t think Elon, Zuck, et. al. believe in a power above themselces.

government owning the means of production?

🤔

Could be from stuff akin to this. This is the second bombing of Wuchang, first was post-launch due to UE5 spec demands

Good for stuff like Chinese review bombing.

What oddly specific training. Is there a training regimen for a “Evangelion everyone got turned into Tang” situation too? What about the “Just got spider powers and a Canon event may be coming”?

Why buy new when I have a backlog, the PS1/2 catalog emulated, and can wait 6+ months for a sale

We can’t rule out that VP candidate’s named Tim are the issue. Hillary had Tim Kaine and lost, Biden had Kamala and won, Kamala had Tim Walz and lost.

I prefer to embrace the thought that no matter how chronically online he is, his meme game will always be dogshit and his nerd cred largely nonexistent.

I own Transformers Devastation on Steam, which was delisted. You can still install it. Achievements got weird for it but still more or less worked. You can’t buy stuff from the market for it including emotes or cards, but can trade or buy some of it with points.

Dang, if that didn’t have Nintendo on it I’d be posting it in some deztiny 2 discords right about now

I have torrented Mario Kart World one thousand times since it launched and have thus cost Nintendo 70,000 dollars. If I can keep up this pace, Nintendo will be bankrupt within the next year or two.

Not shocking considerimg Denuvo is an ongoing cost (IIRC) and Kunitsu is over the hump of the majority of its sales.

I should really pick up a copy of “Ask Iwata”

By definition it cannot.

Crazy how Symphony of the Night is to Metroidvanias what Chrono Trigger or FF6/7 is to RPG’s but we’re still getting Kid Dracula released by Konami in the Castlevania collections before it is.

NGL fairly salty.

Perot did pretty well on his runs iirc. But I don’t think he’s the one you were talking about.

Asmongold without the rat alarm clock.

Disappointing but not shocking. Game was a mess at launch.
