@PaulTassi Tell them to reboot the Doom story so it's Doom again and not Temu Halo

[Shorp Pinkletown @ShorpPinkletown]

@onyxfoxtrot @PaulTassi @Forbes No, I don't. I think being remotely competent to judge multiple translations of The Odyssey requires a tremendous amount of expertise that neither of you, nor I, nor rando culture warrior scumbags, have.

[Shorp Pinkletown @ShorpPinkletown]

@onyxfoxtrot @PaulTassi @Forbes You know exactly nothing about the quality of either translation but you have had your brain hijacked by culture warrior nonsense. Copy pasting talking points in reply will not change that fact.

@C_Kavanagh Sometimes hard to find AI insights that are neither grifter AI bro nor head-in-sand dismissal

@wcgoldberg The mistake you immediately make is thinking that the point ought only to be abstract fairness and competitive balance. It isn't. Basketball is an entertainment product. Part of the calculation needs to be what makes the sport more fun for ordinary fans over the long-term.

@jkylemann Santi aldamas sound like an old fashioned sort of cookie

@willlggg @Viking0071POE You needn't watch him much to have your brain melted. The way the algo frames the issue and pushes it to you makes it very hard for what's left of your critical thinking faculties to fight back. I accept that you can't, and don't want to, understand.

@NBABlackburn Stan's money is due to who his wife's uncle is. That fact leads to an inferiority complex where he wants to play Real Businessman. In other words, just hope for good health or it's OVER.

@Guitaraholic @GuyThatDied @Fubgun "I'm not harassing them I'm just constantly insulting them in front of my extremely parasocial very large audience" is similar to "i don't RMT I just accept mirrors in donations and don't ask where they come from and get paid in subs and clicks instead of in game currency"

[Shorp Pinkletown @ShorpPinkletown]

@italianodevdd @Viking0071POE The demand for ALL mirror service is mostly RMT and will be as long as GGG benefits. What sucks is these guys, unlike TFT or Fub's donation laundering, are trying to do the supply side in a legit way but get pilloried by idiots who don't understand how Fub's "donations" work

[Shorp Pinkletown @ShorpPinkletown]

@_mszewczak @Viking0071POE @GuyThatDied Let me spell it out. Anon Fubsimps RMT currency and donate it with tips. He knows this but it's "don't ask don't tell" so he doesn't violate TOS explicitly. He makes real sub $ on top for being "the good guy". Totally different than a fixed group crafting off legit farm profits.

[Shorp Pinkletown @ShorpPinkletown]

@_mszewczak @Viking0071POE @GuyThatDied Idiot, they farm as a group and craft as a group with many the top players, not anon RMT donations that maintain plausible deniability like Fub. But all your brain has is tribal attachment to streamers, so I accept that there is no world in which you will be able to understand.

[Shorp Pinkletown @ShorpPinkletown]

@AgentRubyRose1 @GuyThatDied A reply to a reply will not get Fub to notice you. Donate $ little boy and he might acknowledge you for 1/2 a sec on stream. You have to funnel your tribal attachment into $$$ not just insulting randos like me

[Shorp Pinkletown @ShorpPinkletown]

@NBABlackburn @MileHighSports For the good of basketball I wish he'd leave. We only have so many years left with Joker and it would suck to see him spend them with a team that has no possible path other than hoping for good health luck

[Shorp Pinkletown @ShorpPinkletown]

@Viking0071POE @Fubgun You're right. But in streamer world, nothing matters to most people except than the size of the viewership of the person making the point. Fubgun could be arguing that 2+2=10, you could say 2+2=4, and the majority of these children would believe him. I feel bad for them tbh.

[Shorp Pinkletown @ShorpPinkletown]

@HPbasketball The complication for me is the fact that the city owns the arena. Like the basic principle of "the owner of a thing should be the one who pays for its renovation", no? But on the flip side Dondon can't "demand" a renovation unless that was in the lease agreement.

[Shorp Pinkletown @ShorpPinkletown]

@Asap_Cody_ @Fubgun Lmao you think the community donations are all legit. Everything at that level has RMT involved on supply/demand sides, directly and indirectly. Profiting via engagement->real money (fub) vs huge in game currency fees (mirror crafters) is two sides of same coin. No angels.
