!bookworms to discuss chapter 3 of Andrei Bely's "Petersburg".

I loled at this passages. Despite being a commie himself Bely could take a joke and make fun of his own movement. Despite the rather complex language this book is quite satirical.

Aleksandr Ivanovich is sort of a charming neurodivergent for a terrorist. Nikolai Apollonovich is a whiny cute twink and his dad is right about him.

Sofia Petrovna needs better friends and would seriously benefit of owning a dildo, but unfortunately she's a weeb in 1900s Russia.

Jeez Louise, 4 hours of white men dominating the minds of asian women. @BWC get in here, this is it. It's time for a ricebunny copypasta to be created.

!chuds !coomers !weebs

he mumbled a lot and at one point i heard "40 acres and a mule" and then he went back to mumbling and now everyone on twitter is gloating about what he did with trump in attendance and i don't know what he was angling for

a few months ago i briefly went a function at aella's house (nonsexual) and saw the "i'm sorry i told you you're not that pretty during a tender moment" card irl. for me it was like seeing the mona lisa but when i tried to explain to other people there no one understood pic.twitter.com/RW0kqqKuyQ

Have any of you heard of Unknown 9?

If you haven't- I don't blame you. I haven't either. Apparently it's a 4-month old game developed by Reflector Entertainment who also made... uhh this game and it's DLCs.

This screenshot gives a lot away but fear not, it was published by Bandai Namco, the guys who made the Dark Souls^TM of videogames These guys know a good investment when they see it, and at 50 eurobucks (USD to EUR is almost 1:1 at the time of writing !eurochads), a price comparable to that of God of War 2022 (50 EUR, 95% rating), HOI 4 (50 EUR, 90% rating) and Mount & Blade: Bannerlord II *editor's note: why are there so many MLP emojis when querying 'horse' (50 EUR, 87% rating(should be 100)), it is sure to deliver the same experience, right?

Well, from the screenshot you might have noticed that the ratings are mediocre: 49%. But that does not tell the whole story.

Unknown 9 currently has 7 concurrent players , 11 player 24-hour peak and a 285-player all-time peak [1]. This means it is mogged by the likes of Gollum 2023 at 758 all-time high [2], 6 year old rockstar game Red Dead: Redemption 2 at almost double the rating [3], a 2023 unity slavshit game Contraband Police at almost double the rating and half the price [4] and absolutely mogged by LEWDAPOCALYPSE, which has double the concurrent players, double the rating, and 1/50th of the price [5].

IGN gave Unknown 9 a 9(-4) rating [6], so is it really that bad?

Looks pretty bad, but is this the lowest we can go? Just some failed garbage from an upcoming studio, but is that it? Can't we do worse?

Heck no! It was in the works for at least 4 years, and was supposed to be a tans-media project, "including video games , film , and books (!bookworms), for example. Unknown 9 was conceptualized as an ongoing series, spanning podcasts , comics , and even a web series , many of which have already been released." [7]. So you've been laughing at Concord for having an Amazon episode despite being a dead game- well, you've seen nothing yet kid. This shit was supposed to be massive, at least according to the cited source (I didn't check further (yes how could you tell, I work in academia )). It was supposed to be the next fricking star wars by the looks of things, expecting to bank on their notoriety to create the equivalent to Netflix's Witcher [7] (which is not something to be proud of tbh). While we have no numbers on the project costs, one might imagine that a AAA game with massive marketing like that would've cost a lot. While we do not know how much exactly the project did cost, it is hardly believable that some unknown studio with 0 releases might have funded it. Indeed, the studio is owned by the publishers- Bandai Namco, who can probably afford to throw money around [8]. Looking at their website and LinkedIn is pretty funny as well, considering that they have announced that they will cease support for the game [8].

But you don't have to trust me, you can view the official gameplay trailer posted on Playstation's account and come to your own conclusions:

The lore/narrative trailer, which is just as stupid, can be found at

TL;DR?

Well, it's about a brown woman with supernatural abilities . Kind of like Forespoken from 1 2 years ago if anyone remembers that.

"Unfortunately, part of Hoerdt's statement confirmed several staff members would be made redundant, including back-office employees, and given severance packages, further health benefits, access to counseling services, and "proactive" career planning support." [7]. Lmao imagine getting free counselling from a company that fired you. I would probably take that as an insult, equivalent to one of those "reddit cares" messages . One might accuse me of using a chuddy source, but the same website compliments Unknown 9's use of "stepping powers", which states that "Stepping is the ability to project one's mind into the consciousness of another, by way of the Fold. While Stepping, one has access to the weaponry, strength, and intellect of a given vessel, and may fully control their actions." [9]. A totally true statement which has never been done before.

Here's Cr1tikal AKA Charlie AKA penguinz0 explaining it probably better than I do (it's the weekend and I've had several drinks already ):

He quotes the investment value into the IP at 100 million $ [citation needed]

In conclusion: 1) gaming in 2025 is dead, do not bother. 2) Nominative Determinism is true- the game was titled Unknown 9, and it remained unknown. For anyone running any sort of business- watch what you name your product.

Hecko!

Hello Rdrama, it's time for your Minecraft YouTuber Autism fest again!

It's always insightful to engage in a bit of market research.

I gotta know what my contemporaries are up to, my competition!

Ladies and gentlemen the Minecraft YouTuber TommyInnit.

Now I do not want to do a deep dive on who this guy is because I do not feel like writing 1000s of words today.

But the run down is this guy was some 16 year old kid (hes 21 now) who made his way to fame through the Dream SMP Live Minecraft server, which streamed to hundreds of thousands of concurrent viewers.

Since then he has fallen out with the YouTuber 'Dream' and the coalition of streamers has split off into two camps. Both r-slurred but arguably the "Tommyinnit" side is worse.

I personally find this guy to be utterly obnoxious, cringe and is the very epitome of the current oversensitivity of Minecraft fans which plague my hobby and source of income.

Here is a timestamped youtube video of the kind of guy he is!

NOT THE R-SLUR!!!!!

>My mum worked with adults with disabilities

Yeah, she is your mother after all

Tommyinnit fancies himself a bit of a comedian, he does live shows where he charges $60 dollars per ticket to see him do the worse comedy routine ever.

I am utterly convinced that with no practice I could do better than him right now.

(timestamped video, watch like 30s if you can lmao)

THIS IS THE SHITNERNET

In pursuit of his comedic genius, he has started an internet show called "This is the Internet" and the target of my autism today.

I actually really like the idea and concept for the show, where he does like an episode once a month re-capping and making fun of internet trends and stories, like Norm Macdonald but for the zoomies like me!!!!

The one problem is... Is painfully fricking unfunny and bad.

The show starts ok, and I don't have much to say about the intro, other than I would of been funnier to film real homeless instead of an actor.

Then we get to the main shot of his newscaster desk and the amateurish problems become apparent immediately

See that microphone? That is not a prop, that is the actual microphone the audio is coming from, as a result you can hear every microscopic movement he makes on the desk, even movement of his hands, and as the mic has no stabilizer he bumps is constantly!!!

Like its fricking crazy, its a static shot you can just attach a boom mic, and have the desk mic for a backup. And r-slurred production plagues this 20 min video.

Watch Joke

Ok first joke of the episode he looks at his wrist even though he doesn't have a watch, something I like in premise, but I think he holds it too long and it's too obvious that it kind of breaks it.

A better example of this joke is from this timestamp from the Amazing Digital Circus

And how would you follow up this silly 1s gag of a nonexistent watch?

Oh yeah, r-slurred train noises for an excruciating 12s, where he spits everywhere.

And this is a common trend in this video is that TommyInnit does not know when to end a fricking joke.

Like this should of been cut out anyway, but if you had to include it... LIKE 1 SECOND AT MOST

Peepee Joke

Tommy mentions how Magnus Carlson was disqualified from a chess tourney for wearing jeans, which leads to a joke about how he's against wearing trousers and shows that his actually naked below the suit.

Once again, a joke which can work but it should be a more subtle visual gag.

If he had a larger newsroom set or was on location he could have two men carrying a mirror in the background somewhere, which shows his bare butt to the camera while he says something else, not drawing direct attention to it.

Maybe not even have the context of Magnus Carlson at all and just have it has an absurd background visual with no explanation.

example of this type of joke done right from Naked Gun 2 1/2

But at the moment its obnoxious, in your face and goes on way too long.

GOES ON TO LONG

Goes without saying, CUT THE JOKE SOONER HOLY SHIT!

HOLY SHIT CRINGE, I know hes a kids entertainer but god darn, this is shit you do to make your very very young toddlers laugh

Genuinely this thread is just to make you guys suffer because I had to watch this, so did you

SKIT 1

This is obviously meant to be a parody of MrBeast and Hype style Youtubers.

He's doing something lame but biggining it up as something super duper epic, except I dont think he fully commit to the bit.

• The music should be more obnoxious, like dubstep or something

• He should have like 10 camera angles of the same lame stunt

• Tons of ridiculous digital zoom ins and post production motion blur

• I would of just said random money figures randomly to take the piss out of their money obsession. (500 dollar bottle of coke wow!)

The biggest problem with the skit is pacing, I believe in a comedy rule which I came up with after watching a horrible Jim Sterling Video.,

"A joke should never take longer than 60s to setup and payoff"

And establishing the parody, the coke and Mentos and the reaction is a tall order for 60s, so in cases like this you need to make the joke evolve somehow.

Have something to break it up into pieces, by sprinkling in smaller jokes in while your building the setup.

You could make a quick jab at overuse of merchandising.

Or ridiculous product placement in the background.

Just something to tithe the viewer over until you can get to that longer punchline. And help further establish the satire element

Now too be fair Tommy mostly avoids this problem, managing to get to the Mentos part within 15s pretty efficiently.

but keep this part in mid for the proceeding....

3 MINS OF FOOTAGE

Where hes taking the piss out of the amount of replays which works, but he just keeps the joke going way way way way too fricking long without any evolution.

I seriously encourage you to watch the whole skit and just be in shock with how long it goes on for

He should of done this replay joke for 20s at most, then hard cut to him choking and almost vomiting up the coke looking and sounding ill because he deepthroated it. as the joke "evolving" by undercutting the extreme editing.

Bonus points if you then pan to a random passer-by looking confused and disgusted.

SKIT 2

I am going to skip over a lot of the other shit jokes because its very much the same of what I've already covered

This is just the peak of the amateurish filming. First off how do you mic a scene that badly wtf. Everyone's mic quality is different, did they have 1 mic between them. Legit wtf?? It sounds fricking awful.

And the video is completely fricked up. Look at this shot/reverse shot

The colours and depth of them are completely fricked up, with the tommy shot being incredibly faded out and desatured, which creates a giant disconnect when these two are supposed to be facing each other.

This is further again compounded by the bad audio difference.

Anyway what's this skit about?

5 MINS ON A POOP JOKE WTF

Again I encourage you a ton to watch and suffer through this skit, because it's so fricking bad the whole thing should just be cut.

THIS GUY CHARGES 60 DOLLARS PER TICKET TO SEE HIM LIVE!

>Side note my friends said this guy looks like me, im an austictic with face blindness, is this true?

POOP JOKES

So the premise of the skit if Jack Manifold (also a YTuber) is proposing that Tommy starts making poop content for youtube as an idea, to which they act confused, thus inadvertidly revealing he is into it.

• First off this should be filmed handhold style with lots of manual zoom in's on faces and try to emulate the style of the Office.

• Poop is such a lame unfunny thing to centre this skit around

• This is not an idea that can last 5 mins

A friend and I came up with a concept for the scene to try and make a funny skit out of it.

That instead of poop, Jack is proposing a new mascot for some merch called the "Grapist" where its the mascot of their new grape flavoured juices (you can make fun of prime)

And Tommy and the rest of the boardroom is trying to politely tell him that it sounds like r*pe, but he is oblivious.

You could do a visual joke where he shows a drawing of children sucking the grapists juice sacks, and it looks really really bad, but he just acts innocent and unaware about it.

Edgy but better that POOP FUNNY HEHE!

Serious this is negative comedy

the worse joke in the episode

I have no idea what the fricking joke is here legit.

BEST JOKE IN THE EPISODE

THIS WAS WRITTEN BY 3 PEOPLE WHAT THE FRICK

This was made by a production of a small team, which I unironically could make better by myself.

This fricker has gotten 1m views and I have no idea how anyone finds this guy funny

is this mass psychosis.

I don't think I'm an expert or a pro but holy shit.

I hate modern Minecraft YouTubers. I need to help fix the culture....

Beginning in 2020, Tinajero started communicating with, and grooming, several minor victims to obtain sexually explicit content from them, including Jane Doe 1. In 2023, Tinajero began to threaten the safety of Jane Doe 1 and her family. Tinajero posted online in encrypted platforms associated with 764 and related groups a "Lorebook" – commonly used in 764 blackmail schemes — containing Jane Doe 1's identifying information along with nude pictures of the minor.

Between July 2023 and September 2023, during multiple discussions over social media, Tinajero and a co-conspirator agreed that Tinajero should kill Jane Doe 1. Tinajero and the co-conspirator specifically discussed that Tinajero should murder Jane Doe 1 and dispose of Jane Doe 1's body in a barrel of acid after the murder. Tinajero posted multiple messages on various social media websites stating that he planned to kill Jane Doe 1 with a firearm because Jane Doe 1 refused to provide additional child sexual abuse material.

On Aug. 26, 2023, Tinajero posted on Telegram, "Im determined to die" and "If I gotta kill her I can't let her live and f**k with dudes and girls while I'm sick and miserable" and "Im gonna live stream it." Tinajero also posted a picture of Jane Doe 1. On Sept. 2, 2023, Tinajero posted on Telegram, "I wanna kill them so bad just show up at their cribs and shoot 100 rounds in 5 seconds" and, on Sept. 3, 2023, posted "I didn't wanna do anything bc I was scared of dying or prison but now I'm determined to die if I have to after getting rid of [Jane Doe 1] . . . ." Tinajero also began soliciting others to assist with attempting to kill Jane Doe 1.

TLDR - Woman is mad that her ex husband is in a new relationship after only a year of being divorced.

!football

Prince Khalid bin Bandar Al Saud told LBC that "there's no alcohol at all" in Saudi Arabia and there would not be an exception when they host the World Cup.

It will not be allowed in hotels, restaurants or stadiums, he confirmed.

It comes despite alcohol being allowed in certain areas and restaurants during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

"At the moment, we don't allow alcohol," Mr al Saud said.

"Plenty of fun can be had without alcohol - it's not 100 per cent necessary and if you want to drink after you leave, you're welcome to, but at the moment we don't have alcohol."

He added: "Rather like our weather, it's a dry country."

Asked if that was a welcoming approach, he said: "Everyone has their own culture. We're happy to accommodate people within the boundaries of our culture but we don't want to change our culture for someone else."

"I mean, really? You can't live without a drink?" the ambassador jokingly added.

Saudi Arabia was formally confirmed as the host of the 2034 World Cup in December, despite a slew of human rights concerns.

Questioned over whether gay football fans would be able to safely attend in 2034, Mr al Saud said: "We will welcome everyone in Saudi."

He continued: "It is not a Saudi event, it is a world event. And to a large extent, we will welcome everyone who wants to come."

Hammad Albalawi, head of Saudi Arabia's bid, previously dismissed criticism from human rights groups.

"We have come a long way and there's still a long way to go," he said. "Our principle is to develop something that is right for us.

"Our journey started in 2016, not because of the World Cup bid.

"We've launched initiatives granting employees the freedom to move between employers.

"Documents of these employees are now uploaded into government systems, ensuring they have rights within their contracts."

The World Cup is expected to take place in autumn or winter due to temperatures reaching over 50C in summer, Mr al Saud said on Wednesday.

Saudi Arabia is also set to host football's 2027 Asian Cup, the 2029 Asian Winter Games and the 2034 Asian Games.
