Shall I make a internet drama/lolcow thread in offtopic? It goes even deeper than this and there's quite a lot going on in this space.

Chris Chan sold some of the Sonichu medallions online and the YouTubers who wore them have all had unfortunate downfalls.

IDubbzz was a huge YouTuber and was sent the medallion in the mail for a fan unboxing video. He wore it. He is now bankrupt from failed YouTube boxing, disavowed his audience because he failed to take down Sam Hyde (they sided with Sam), is apparently getting a job at Panera Bread and has a few thousand views on his podcast about his personal life with his boring onlyfans whore wife (he took her surname).

Boogie2988 was another huge YouTuber who wore the medallion as a joke. He got divorced, spent his YouTube money on escorts, got a felony for firing a warning shot at a troll who came to his house, is a borderline pedo dating a girl out enough to be his daughter, faked having cancer and is now some kind of slave to Keemstar.

Nick Reiketa was the biggest streamer on YouTube and invented the law category, a comservative family values guy peaking during the Rittenhouse and Depp trials. He became the go to lawyer to invite onto streams for any kind of streaming law issue. After wearing the medallion he stopped practicing law to get drunk on his "comedy" streams, culminating in him being sucked off on stream while high on coke by a woman he was in a polycule with. The police raided him and took his coke and his kids away, now awaiting trial.
All that's probably bordering on too much information. Sounds like Chris Chan is mainly part of the Pokimon space, which I have never been a part of and have no interest in.

People have made 100 hour documentary series on this.

Nothing to do with any pokemon community, he's just one of the first internet "personalities" that went viral and was purposefully bullied.

It's sent him insane, for example he developed Trolling Induced Transgender Syndrome.

Not gonna make a whole thread for it since it's probably years away from any kind of release, but Forever Winter has new media posts coming finally.

Beyond hyped for this, but it's so early in the project it may not ever release

If you really want to go more in depth on this, go ahead and start a thread for it and I'll move posts.

I don't really remember much, but I'm thinking this is more general internet fuckery and not really gaming related. The PCC might be a better place than off topic.

Reading about this stuff is somewhat amusing in a weird way but it reaches a point where you start consuming too much of it and the abyss starts staring back at you.

The internet will either lead to our species' ascension or annihilation. It is 100% our home-made great filter.

In our case, the abyss hands us castanets, titty tassels and tells us to get to work.

yeah 1900s sicily will be interesting, all the mafia-themed games and shows basically show everyone fleeing italy of the time so it'll be neat to see how it actually plays out with old vendettas, strict family rules, etc. I've enjoyed all the mafia games, even mafia 3 was great albeit a bit bloated with missions.

anyways Concord that shitty $40 Overwatch clone with DEI skins launches today, lol they worked 8 years on the damn game



all that work and you get upstaged by a chinese monkey, sad

It needs more lots of things. It looks really really early in the process, and the gameplay they've release is rough to say the least:



It look fantastic from a design standpoint, but needs a shitload of work and some black magic to make it run at more than 15fps

The sad thing is that the company that made that shit was founded by Ragnar Tørnquist. He created The Longest Journey/Dreamfall series and had lead roles on Anarchy Online and Secret World while at Funcom, then licensed the TLJ IP from Funcom and started his own company to make the final game in the series (which unfortunately already started to show woke influences and this was before anyone had even heard the term SJW). I guess he's just a full-on cultist now. No idea why a bunch of Scandinavians feel the need to make a game inspired by Trump being elected when they have far more pressing problems of their own to address.

Dustborn probably wasn't that expensive though; the company gets a large majority of its funding from Norwegian Film Institute grants. I suppose that's also why they made TDS: The Game instead of, say, something about losing a country to an invading force of "refugees". Probably not a lot of woke grant money for real issues.
