For all the "Kotaku LUL"s they've gotten, they've been pretty good to our bois in the past.

In fact, Jason Schrier's article on issues Nick was having with AdSense pretty got them fixed single-handedly, according to Nick

Also anyone looking for a good crossword app, I would recommend Shortyz (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.totsp.crossword.shortyz). The set that NL plays is called "Universal" on here. The NYT app is also good but requires a subscription or purchasing individual packs, although there is a free trial period.

It gets even worse when you consider the fact that he's using the fact he worked with Ellen Page to write of criticisms that Quintic's company culture is hostile to lgbt people, despite having made fully nude renderings of the main character against Page's wishes.

Cage is a fuckin creep, Page deserved so much more, and as a queer woman who's in love with her this next stream is going to be so painful to watch.

Here is a link to Super Mega Baseball 2 on Steam for those like me who are massively hyped for a brand new and promising baseball game on steam

If you have any questions on how the game operates, the store page may answer them

Here you go. It wasn't a debate per say. It was more of harping on Austin because he went to the store because he was just starting to cook and had no ingredients and the only spice he bought was nutmeg (which is a fairly unused spice). I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. That whole stream is golden

For future park expansions:

1. Spew Street
2. Gag Grove
3. Hurl Heights
4. Puke Parkway
5. Throw-up Trail

Basically just take these and match them up with these.

for anyone who is wondering what's wrong with adblock: It was sold off and now harvests your information and sells it to marketers and/or allows 'acceptable ads' to show up whereas ublock is by the original creator and is open source so you know it's not doing anything malicious, so it's generally the better choice combined with a whitelist for your favourite sites you want to support.

(just wanted to add some extra info for the curious)

I've been playing a lot of chess recently, and I've noticed that the queen is definitly overpowered. There hasnt been a patch in a REALLY long time, and queen is in serious need of a nerf. The vast majority of strats involve the queen, and I don't expect pros to stop abusing it without major changes to it's mechanics. Maybe give it a max range of 5 units, and give it the knight's movement to compensate. The last time a patch influenced the queen, it was giving the ability to be broght back almost endlessly, furthur increasing its brokeness. If the movement changes are too drastic, maybe a simple reversion to an earlier version of chess would be enough. The fact that a game where someone won without their queen playing a major role ended up a famous game alone should bring at least some attention to the matter. When can we expect a new version of chess, and who would be chosen to balance test it before it's released?

Apparently I'm the only one that actually found LOL pretty funny. Just seems like a disconnect between the rules of the show and what's funny at home. Don't tell me you found Apollo saying pussy funny but not Carol.

Anyway if you think you like the concept but not the execution/participants, I highly recommend trying Documental. Original version of the show and done much better IMO.

Game is Cards Against Friends, an in-development Cards Against Humanity clone. I don't know how many cards it shares with the actual game but it's cool nonetheless

The skin editor is an arcane piece of technology, but I think if you unzip this file in Documents/Trackmania/Skins/Models/CarSport you should be able to see it in the skin browser. No idea what it looks like during gameplay because I think you need to be a Club member to use custom skins. Not sure and I couldn't find any info, Trackmania really is the Dark Souls of racing games.

from https://www.chess.com/news/view/chess-com-announces-next-pogchamps Jul 30, 2020

Among the confirmed participants are xQc, Mizkif, AustinShow, Hafu, TFBlade, IWillDominate, and HafthorJulius, who played The Mountain on the hit HBO show Game of Thrones, one of the most popular television shows in history. Chess.com will be releasing the final streamers in the field over the next two weeks to promote this edition of PogChamps. There are still three spots up for grabs in the field of 16 which have been set aside for top streamers who wish to express their interest in playing.

IDK what Kapwing is, but if you want a solid video editor I'd check out Kdenlive. Free and open-source competitor to something like Adobe Premier.

Might not have all the features of something like Premier or Vegas, but that awesome price tag of $0 keeps bringing me back to it.

I'm all about that Fresca life.

Now, I know what you're saying; "Fresca is just diet soda, not sparkling water," and you're right about that. BUT they also released an unsweetened version that's pretty good. Same ingredient list as La Croix: carbonated water and "natural flavors"

I still like regular, sweet-af Fresca, but I'll grab the unsweetened version occasionally as a bit of a tolerance break.

For the sake of saving your battery/electricity/future phones, i'd recommend using a sleep timer when falling asleep to NL's videos. I think iphones have the functionality built in but here's a link to the app i use for android:

My personal recommendation is this course for Python.
You are in luck, it starts in less than a week. It's a fun one, professors are great and have a sense of humour and you will be making some small games like pong during this course. Definitely check it out.

Yeah unless it’s something like this:

Like even if you put NL’s logo right underneath that, that’s shirt is never leaving home

On android there's Vampire Survivors, it's the same game, but looks like it is a bit behind on updates, and no soundtrack.

For anyone looking for a game like Vampire Survivors but for Android (and free), there is Magic Survival. I wasn't able to watch the whole segment so don't know if Vampire goes more in depth, but they were very similar on first watch, and I put a decent amount of time into Magic Survival

Get some aquaphor, this formula, not the lip balm. This is what all the accutane homies use (the drug causes extreme lip chappage). It'll work!

Game 1: https://www.chess.com/a/Q7inyp7p7SBp

Ryan came in at a high 87.4 accuracy with the majority of inaccuracies coming around the mid-game trades that ended up with white blundering the queen, notable moves were finding 19. Qf6, giving him an incredibly aggressive attack on white's exposed pawns leading control of the back line.

Game 2: https://www.chess.com/a/2VfhPhhMG7SBp

Coming in at 79.5 accuracy, probably coming from him playing more defensively instead of taking aggressive positions that black was handing to him, as well as going for the cheeky checkmate which is not favored in accuracy as its an easy spot.

I am not good at statistics, so I wrote a simple program to calculate the odds for me :)

Your calculations are correct, if anyone wants to try with different dice counts and turns, there is the code:

This one looks legit

Favorite moment? It's probably recency bias and not really a moment but this Tiktok killed me.

It was at this point that I realized that NL outclasses me on social media. Other than that his decent into madness in his various trainwreck Isaac episodes.

Local times

So, I watched a streamer (SimCopter1, really wholesome guy) the other day who played another map. It is called "GeoBettr World 2 (NA and EU Biased)", and boy is it biased:

https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/5d2aac353b4b6a3004a5a1d4

Just want to put it out there. It might be a nice one-week-change and compromise between A Diverse World and something like EU/NA only.

On the hip hop side, I'm into pretty much everything by Anime and Chance, and about half of Kyle's stuff, as well as Frank Ocean, J. Cole and The Weeknd. Fool wit it and Girls are sort of old Chance features that I've had on repeat recently.

On the ska side, aside from the usual Streetlight, RBF, Less than Jake, and Bosstones, I'm really really into Big D and the Kids Table's Fluent in Stroll album. That shit's dope. Also, Pannonia Allstars Ska Orchestra is great, but mostly in Hungarian, so you have to listen to the beat to jam out (unless you happen to be Hungarian. If that's the case, you probably already know this band anyway.) This is a true banger, and in English.

I've been getting into emo revival and midwest indie as well. I'm into pretty much all of Modern Baseball's discography, Foxing, Have Mercy, Neck Deep, Tigers Jaw, and yesterday spent like half a 10 hour road trip bumping The Hotelier, which was cool because I'd never heard them before. Also the classics like American Football and Dashboard Confessional (The shade of the poison tree has some all time bangers. Legitimately great stuff despite DC's mainstream cringy emo associations, which is unwarranted imo). Dashboard's new album better be good. I've been waiting on that since I was like 14 years old.

I completely forgot about Alexisonfire; loved that band. Thanks for shouting them out.

Oh, and Pheeno and Jakubi on the electronic side. I don't really care for EDM, but those two artists have something special gong on.

To the people suggesting VPNs, I still wasn’t able to get it working with ExpressVPN. Tried Toronto and Quebec. Would be interested to hear if anyone did manage to get it, and which VPN service they used.
