Null needs to buy the Baldobunker

Let's crowd fund that shit and make it into a Kiwi Komune Kompound.

Assuming Null is the Goot, name the other IRL figures^

This is obviously a family portrait. Null, Jim, and Rickety Rackets. The tiny little pants-shitting baby is Ethan Ralph, surrounded by his e-daddies. (Chef Redpill is behind the camera taking the picture)

I'm working on updating the Mad at the Internet website and I've noticed the Google Play link does not work. From my investigation, Google retired its Podcasts product in favor of shoving more shit on YouTube. Is this accurate?

Yeah looks like they are shutting down aug 30th for YouTube music or other

 

[Merton J. Dingle]

Makes sense given that they have had a podcast tab on YouTube for a little while now. At least with podcasts being on YouTube Music there's less chance of seeing ads, as RVX Music and the unofficial YouTube Music program on Windows seem to have been largely unaffected by the ad related shenanigans on YouTube main.

Summary: TL;DR: Google Podcasts is being discontinued on April 2, 2024, with users being directed to YouTube Music. This move aims to cater to user preferences, expand Google's audio streaming market share, and streamline services.

Google Podcasts is dead. It has been dying for months, since Google announced last fall that it was killing its dedicated podcast app in order to focus all its podcasting efforts on YouTube Music

Not YouTube, but YouTube Music. Their platform they created to compete with the iTunes music store and Spotify. Kind of a hybrid of the two.

In video game news, Black Myth: Wukong has shattered Palworld's concurrent playercount less than 12 hours after launch. It beat out the likes of Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring as the most concurrently played single player game on Steam at least.

While that in and of itself isn't exactly MATI worthy, this comes after several months of smearpieces by the usual suspects, which began after the studio. Game Science, allegedly declined Sweet Baby Inc's offer to "fix" the game for a measly sum of $7m, according to a Chinese media press release. The xeet in question (A).

>Chinese media: 'Black Myth: Wukong' refused to be extorted $7 million by SweetBaby.

English:

The reason why the team behind "Black Myth: Wukong" has been subjected to persistent sexist attacks and slander since their first promotional video is because they have consistently refused political correctness guidance and rejected the extortionate guidance fees of millions of dollars demanded by these political correctness teams.

Actually, such teams are quite common in Europe and America. They interfere with works like "Assassin's Creed" "Dying Light 2 Stay Human" and "God of War" by pushing for politically correct female protagonists. These changes are the direct result of the interference and guidance of such teams.

Game science teams refuse to communicate with these groups and reject their interference. Most importantly, they refuse to pay the exorbitant $7 million in guidance fees. This is the direct reason why they are being attacked and slandered. Some justifications are based on the team's lack of diversity or representation, which doesn't align with the political correctness standards.

A typical example is an article by a major IGN writer criticizing "Hogwarts Legacy" and refusing to evaluate or promote it due to its alleged lack of political correctness.

The games media landscape was quick to begin writing hitpieces after this emerged, accusing the studio of internal sexism and using misogynist language, though the studio kept their mouths shut and for the most part ignored the press, infuriating them further. Fast forward to last week where reviews started popping up, only for the reviewers to dock its score (because using a simplistic metric like that is clearly the best way to sum up thoughts on a game) due to its lack of "diversity."

Samar Abedian of ScreenRant gave Black Myth: Wukong a low score of 3/5 because it "lacks diversity and inclusion". What a woke bitch.

Another mentally woke they/them activist clickbait journalist, Alicia Haddick from TechRadar Gaming, also gave it a negative review on Black Myth: Wukong, and she called it "sexist and misogynist". Thank god she's already getting roasted like Samar Abedian.

The former of which has since hid

They've now removed any mention of the reviewer for "muh safety"

And apparently works for a "consultancy firm"

Turns out this "journalist" also works for a "Consultancy Firm."

While the latter has been getting called ugly and is sneeding

Except this time, she's whining about being criticized and "being hot". Seriously? Hot? What a loony.

Then you're going to love reacting to this, when Alicia Haddick still complains about being criticized and trolled over calling Black Myth: Wukong "sexist and misogynist".

There was a supposed list of topics people with review copies were supposed to avoid, which was later said to be nonsense, but after that deboonked again? No one knows what the heck is going on anymore.

Don't mean to turn this thread into black myth only discussion but the drama is getting out of hand
Earlier last night a google doc was spreading on the internet of supposedly Black myth wukong do's and don'ts

Which everyone instantly believed was real because chinabad of course

Earlier today it was then "confirmed" fake by two different content creators

And a few hours later confirmed to be real again?

The game is currently using Denuvo. Make of that what you will.

edit: a word

That kills the podcast on Google then. To add a podcast you must create a YouTube account and create a podcast playlist on that. They'll scan everything and rape it like they always do.

Tipster made a return to live streaming and unprivated his drama videos (only the pro-Keffals videos of course) despite saying that he won't cover drama anymore.

Some clips from his stream stolen by DeOrio:

I really like how fixated Nick DeOrio is on Tipster, without being a full-on A-log. Nice to get diligent updates on this fatty.

RSS still works for podcast clients though, right? Is been awhile since I've dealt with RSS but it was pretty useful if you had a good aggregation app back in the day

Yes mate. It just sucks that people using Google just lose by default.

good, it deserves to

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

good, it deserves to

it's actually hilarious, most podcast things now just literally suck data from Apple's servers (the metadata)

I love how this fat idiot tried to do hypocrisy hunting with the right being offended with jokes but when JK Rowling says something he doesn't like about troons, he retweets shit like this:

If a rightoid said the same thing about a black person, this guy would get up on his high horse and screech about right wingers being biGoTs.

"fix" the game for a measly sum of $7m

Christ... Is that the norm for what they charge? It's like they don't even want to hide that they are useless grifters.

 

[KateHikes14]

Christ... Is that the norm for what they charge? It's like they don't even want to hide that they are useless grifters.

Why would they need to? If you decline their fee then clearly you hate women/are racist and why would anyone care about the claims of a bigot.

Its like sensitivity readers for writers - a wonderful grift if you're a gender special with zero particular talent or ability other than incessant whining online.

(Never get me started on sensitivity readers.)

Is there a way to check if you're on it?

Thanks to the pentest community, that answer is now a resounding YES.

National Public Data Breach Check
​

I would deff bring this up on the news segment and get the info out to as many people as possible to check for themselves, their parents, family, clients, as many people as possible should know and spread so credit monitoring and other protective measures can be put into place.

Not everyone can be on it right? What are the odds the current and former sitting President of the United States were effected?

​

Well then, fuck me sideways.... I was assured nothing ever happens...
