Jesus he's like a cancer.

I highly doubt you'll see a SA thread on him, and anyone on the "wrong side of history" will eat a ban for mentioning him.

Has there been anything but radio silence on SA about Jonathan Yaniv? I can't namesearch him too well without an account, but am wondering if any goons are rushing to his defense.

Who is Jonathan Yaniv?.....

The Fuck.png

Canada's Ball Waxing Horror Show is Peak Transgender Activism

The fuck? I'm afraid to search into any of this shit just because THAT'S the first thing that popped up. Searched SA and found absolutely 0 mention of him. That said, that should be taken with a grain of salt as SA's search function is absolute garbage that never worked right if memory serves.
 
Only thing I've seen on him is some talk in the Canada Politics thread.

Someone mentioned her as a pedophile, someone else took offense to an "innocent trans woman" being impugned then was quickly disabused by a couple other people in the thread with Ogre's callout. It was promptly not talked about from that point forward.

All told maybe 7 or 8 posts before returning to radio silence. Nothing really worth screenshotting either.

He's got his own sub-forum here. It's an amusing disaster.

I remember this Turtlicious guy. He became a laughing stock around when the Nintendo 3DS first came out for something not as concerning but equally dumb, so I've little to no reason to believe he would be a deep cover troll.

He felt that the game cases which 3DS games came in were too inconvenient, I guess, so he had a...unique idea which he was so particularly proud of that he bragged about it on the games forum, with pictures. I only ever found out about it because his avatar was edited by a mod to specifically link to that very post detailing all of this. All I can find is the aftermath of the whole mess.

This is the inside of a 3DS game case. That raised structure on the right houses the carts themselves. Using a pair of scissors, he cut out three of these holders and literally superglued them to the top plate of his 3DS. I suppose the idea was so he could "quickly" swap out one of four games which would be stuck to the back of his game console. I'm not entirely sure why, because portable games are both usually time wasters and also not something you need to swap out with some urgency.

Needless to say, he was laughed out of the thread. He did, however, try defending himself and his...I suppose you could call it an invention? Regardless, he tried to redeem himself by providing photographic proof that he removed the holders from the back of his game console. But, as I said, he superglued them on, so the plastic was scratched, chipped, and covered in dried glue. He then proceeded an attempt to placate everyone by further pushing that he's self aware enough to realize it was a bad idea, and that he corrected it. The debacle finished when he wound up buying new face plates, but he was known as "that glue guy" for few years after the fact.

I'm glad to see he's moved on from imbecilic modifications for children's toys to premeditating ecoterrorism.

If he could be bullied into removing his cartridge holders from his 3DS, surely he could be bullied into not committing mass murder.

I think we're all safe. One of the requirements to be a terrorist is to have a spine, and that guy sure doesn't seem to have one. The crabs-in-a-bucket mentality of Something Awful will ensure he'll never grow one as long as he's there, too.

After the Mueller testimony this morning was disappointing, it didn't take long to see the suicide hotline. Half the megathreads drift in and out of sharing self-care tips. The frailty they train each other to adopt is always fascinating. They want to fall to pieces at every setback.

Living as a fat NEET troon dipshit with no redeeming qualities? Ok.

Some political junk that won't affect my life at all? Time to rope.

Ah, that explains it.

The WoW subforum was private so even when SA was good more suited to my level of autism, I never read it and hadn't heard the moderator switched, but I think the old one did it for like seven years or something?

I wonder who the longest serving mod currently is.

The state of the WoW Subforum is pretty dire

80% of all people there play on private more than live. Server Emulation is to the point where it's just as good as retail(if not better if you want to play strictly vanilla). Also private servers have far less bullshit to deal with and far less guild drama. Server emulation talk happens like 90% on their reddit subforums and it's where they organize, the smaller satilite forums for specific servers and guilds are rather small and it's mostly used to organize guild specific events once in a blue moon.

If MMOs were ever to get big again giving everyone a private server would more than likely be the way to go. Basically MMO servers emerged out of limitations in technology but that barrier is no longer existent. Basically how Battle.net was in it's beginning with Diablo II.

Fucking battle.net. Goddamn I miss the real Blizzard... Anyone remember trying to set up a game of warcraft 2 over the internet? Battle.net seems so primative now, but holy shit it was a gamechanger for online multiplayer...

The original Bnet was a glorified IRC server and it’s miles ahead in usability compared to the bloated launcher and cloud bullshit of today.

Yeah that's how all the private servers for MMos function. Ark and Conan Exiles also have a similar system for their live games.

It's great because MMos used to dupe people into thinking that all shit was limited and made you jump through hoops, because they intentionally kept data all on the server side out of your control. But yeah if you're looking to just explore the world and READ LORE it's much easier to do a single player private server than it's ever been. Nothing is limited or removed from the game every item can be spawned into your inventory with a code.

All those fucking rep grinds that gate people out of shit and have day long cooldowns so you can't even grind can be done instantly with a single gm command.

Although if Disney buys activision it's going to be hard times because they are fucking brutal at removing shit from the internet.

Then again they could kill WoW just like they killed Club penguin.
 
What happened to Dan O’Sullivan (@bro_pair)? I saw him a few weeks ago defending his use of “nigger” on FYAD back in the day and now his twitter is gone.

I guess some FYAD drama took him out but I can’t find it?
