@MaknCh3esy It's true. I was seeing about the logistics of grabbing 8 streamers for a Pokemon TCG tourney (none of them played before and I got a lot of peeps on board for it, and I hadn't streaned in a couple years at that point! People are more willing than ya think
I grew up sorta poor too starting when I was in middle school. Still was only limited to Nintendo games, but they are still always so fun. Been trying to capture the same magic with single player games again since I just seem to enjoy the social aspect of multiplayer stuff more right now but 007 First Light was a good step in that direction for me again
The iety dilemma. I can’t sleep. Brain worms are eating at me and I feel like I just need to talk or connect to feel *better* but literally don’t know what to talk about or how to express the emotions stirring inside me. I think I might actually get out of bed and go talk to randoms in swiftplays but am afraid that if I concede now, there’s 0% chance I get a lick of sleep tonight and I already have to be up in 5 hours and have a big day ahead of me 😤
‼️ Google is about to disable all adblocker extensions in Chrome. Instead of letting the adblocker inspect traffic itself, extensions now have to hand Google's browser a limited list of filtering rules and hope for the best. This leads to weaker blocking and more ads getting through.
Google makes the vast majority of its money selling ads. The company that profits from every ad you see also controls the browser most people use, with Chrome 149 being the last version supporting adblockers.
For example, under the new rules, uBlock Origin cannot exist. For millions of people, that extension is the only thing standing between them and a wall of ads, trackers, and autoplay garbage. One user put it bluntly: "The web is literally unusable without uBlock Origin."
If you think about it, attending a Pokemon TCG tournament is a lot like going to daycare. The room smells weird, most people are still working on their social skills, and there's a non-zero chance someone pees in their chair.
