Just kidding it's a fricking goomble thread.

Will there be human-to-human transmission of H5N1 Bird Flu before the fricking start of white-boy summer, b-word?

(White boy summer starts on June 20th. Mark your calendars.)

Enter BetYes, there will be a fricking credibly documented case of human-to-human transmission before the fricking start of white-boy summer. - 28 bets

Enter BetNothing ever happens. - 53 bets

I will provide a fricking four hundred (400) marseycoin bounty if you are the fricking first to send me an article from a fricking credible source reporting human-to-human transmission. If nobody sends an article to me by June 20th, I will spend five (5) minutes searching online. If I do not find an article by the fricking end of those five minutes, chudjak wins the fricking bet.

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.

A group named "Tooda" has taken credit for the compromise.

don't wanna link anything to make sure this abides with the rules and out of respect for the people extorted by the doxbin admins. there's probably a thread somewhere explaining the huge mess with the current owners if this topic piques your interest. there's around 500 entries, if I remember correctly they charged $100 for a removal, that means they made ~$50,000. sneako was one of the names mentioned, I did a quick look through and couldn't find anything else.

I feel like we're now being assaulted by waves of loser rightoid energy. Rightoids!

>Third world country "demands" anything from a trillion dollar company

The UK government's "technical capability notice" requires blanket access rather than merely assistance to access a specific account, the paper reported, citing unnamed sources.

It's over bongchuds once they see my right wing memes I'm done. This is my last broadcast.

Except of course this isn't the first time Britain tried to enforce their Orwellian speech laws with Apple and then Literally Nothing Happened

That will not stop the users of /r/unitedkingdom from having a mental breakdown

It has begun. Welcome to a society without secure services.

Uh oh, someone's been in a coma since 2016!

Utterly mad. Amazed Apple will not turn down this request or simply threaten not to sell them in the UK. They'd change their tune pretty quick then.

Lmao, good luck Apple doing that. The UK is a pretty decent chunk of their European market and with a pretty good position I would say.

that's only because we have to buy a new phone every month when they get snatched by a moped rowdie

Jfc, can we have just a few weeks at least without some authoritarian bullshit being thrust upon us.

reminder that bongs vigorously support mass surveillance and banning knives so they don't have to talk about the Rwandan Question

this is the thin end of the wedge and they will be coming for this on all platforms.

No because google has probably already enthusiastically served up all of its users' data

To be fair, the Tories had extensive plans to break end to end encryption too.

yes we may be jackboot authoritarians but have you considered The Tories The Tories The Tories the Tories The Tories

There is a huge difference here between 'back door with a warrant', and 'back door with no warrant'.

I believe 'back door with no warrant' is something Pakistanis were doing to british schoolchildren between the years of 2002 and 2018

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Een oprechte vraag: wat houdt de 'woke-cultuur' in voor jou? Dat politieke correctheid en 'cancel-culture' schadelijk zijn, ben ik mee eens. Maar (anti)woke lijkt tegenwoordig een catchy term om anderen mee te 'cancellen' zodat enkel hun idee van politieke correctheid overblijft. Dus doet anti-woke dan niet hetzelfde als wat pro-woke zou doen? (4)

Woke zever houd voor mij in: het maken van een wereldzaak van non zaken.Bv transrechten. Je mag hier al jaar en dag trans zijn.Manne die vrouwen worden willen vrouw zijn. Vrouwen die man zijn man.Van de 2 transmensen die ik ooit ontmoette vroeg niemand om een zelf verzonnen pronoun te gebruiken. Ahnee want ze willen juist dat geslacht zijn niets nieuws.Maar voor wie doen we dat?Serieuze vraag he?Er is weinig draagvlak, kijk naar de verkiezingen.Het breekt zelf af, en neemt enorme hoeveelheden tijd en middelen in voor… ja wie eigenlijk?Kijk naar het nieuws.Oei meneer is al 12 keer veroordeeld voor dronke rijden? Oei nu iemand dood gereden? Ale 6 maand enkelband…Oei meneer postte een foute meme?Oh een blanco strafblad?Ale een jaar cel!Wie veaagt daar eigenlijk om?Wie die normaal denkt vind een kinderleven minder waard dan een kwetsend woord?Wel magistraten die wij betalen en onze wethouders gewoon wel.

Ik val geen mensen lastig. Ik reageer gewoon op comments. Dat is een beetje waar Reddit voor bedoeld is, weet je wel (1)

Je bent eig een beetje zoals de opper linkse mensen.De nsdap (nationale socialistische democratische arbeiderspartij)Die hadden ook zo een groep mensen die ze niet leuk vonden en hadden gebannen in ghetto's.Maar om 1 of andere reden begonnen die mensen dan zelf in die ghetto te gaan om de mensen te achtervollen die ze verbannen hadden.Jij doet me daar wat aan denken.

Transgendere mensen zijn grofweg 0.5%. En dat van pottyten en sport wordt vooral door onszelf gepushed aangezien we ook gewoon mee willen draaien in de maatschappij.Het hoeft helemaal geen groot issue te zijn oid. Er zijn een hele hoop mensen die ophef erover proberen te maken, omdat ze weten hoe ze rechtse mensen moeten agiteren. Dat als ze je constant het idee geven dat er gebruik gemaakt wordt van je goede wil, dat je boos zal blijven en zal blijven engageren met hun content.Uiteindelijk is het inderdaad divide en conquer. Maar dat komt niet door trans mensen ofzo. Er wordt een hoop werk verricht om ons zwart te maken, en wij kunnen ook niet veel anders doen dan onszelf verweren (4)

Ja door die linkse wappies….Je leest volledig naast het punt.Mannen mogen ool gwn nooit meedoen met vrouwen in de sport.Als 99,5% dat vind meot die 0,5% zich daar gewoon naar plooien en niet hun willetje doordrijven en dan verbaasd zijn als dat mensen agiteert.Trans pottyten? Wie wil dat? Ge gwn naar het man/vrouw pottyWat is daar het nit van?Een derde type wc voor 0,5%?Nee dan moeten we eerst maken dat pakweg rolstoelgebruikers overal toegankelijk zijn.Maar bon nu oogst je u gezaai…En de linkse traantjes vloeien.Jullie harassen en stalken rechtse mensen.Gwn omdat jullie net zoals de nazi's JULLIE willetje erdoor willen en democratie moet desnoods maar plooien.Maar er zijn 2 geslachten man en vrouw en al de rest is zever.Uitzonderingen, afwijkingen en ziektes bestaan.Zoals xxy ofzo.Maar dat zijn afwijkingen mutaties, geen nieuw geslacht…Het feit dat je alles negeert zoals dat foute woorden juridisch meer ebstraft worden dan pakweg een kind doodrijden dat negeer je.He moet weer foc...

No, he still thinks he can win. That's why the Russian army is still in Ukraine.

Hitler won his last battle on April 1945. His longest streak without winning a battle is couple weeks.

Ukraine won't its last battle in September 2022. They haven won a battle in over 2 years.

PUUUUUUUUTIN IS LOSING

https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1ikrk40/russia_to_draft_100000_troops_putin_is_not/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Russian_mobilization

700k left 80% returned

Will 18-21 year old return that were 3 years ago 14-17 ?

But Russia is just increasing it army size and it has nothing to do with Ukraine since Russian using volunteers and 300k contract soldiers so regular army is inside Russia.

Also Redditors copping with China taking over Russia. That will be a gg for whole west that's why Trump trying to cozy with Russia.

But with all the resources in Ukraine we have to do simple math. So if Ukraine has oil for 100 buxx and it cost 200 buxx to remove it than it's absolutely not worth it and Ukrainian resources ain't easy to get on top of it they have small amount of it. Greenland of Australia is more worthy.

TLDR: Trump offers 500 millions for west Ukraine

!oldstrags did you know Metafilter still exists? It does!

Did you know it's a giant circlejerk even more insular than reddit? Of course you did.

(For those who don't know, MeFi is an ancient internet forum that costs $5 to join. It's like SomethingAwful if it were never funny, or rdrama if you losers had jobs and could afford 5 dollars to keep out the thirdies)

Anyway, in 2014 they had a struggle session about thinking the unspeakable wrongs.

Wendy Carlos is a transwoman. Seriously, I mentioned this once and it got instadeleted because WTF? apparently some longstanding flame war of which I wasn't even aware.

I don't know who Wendy Carlos is, but I know that trans women are women . There's no such thing as a "transwoman".

Anyway, after few thousand comments the thread devolves into people getting their fee-fees hurt and demanding apologies

If you want a personal apology for a comment that was not directed at you then you might as well just come out and say so instead of continuing to harp on it despite the fact that sweetkid has explained her reasoning and sincerely apologized to the actual people involved.

Then later on, down the end there's a big argument about whether it's okay to dox a 27 year old dude who really really likes a 17 y/o

This comment does not look to me like an apology or an expression of misunderstanding. It looks to me like an admission he googled the information and intentionally doxxed someone he was characterizing as a "libertarian" and "sexual predator."

So folks are free to read the actual MeTa I am recalling and decide for themselves whether or not I am wildly misremembering anything or mischaracterizing it.

Y'all can't behave!

Painful. Might be time to close the thread?
