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 SoulsTM 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.

This all started when someone slandered the queen, AOC, implying that she is part of the 1% she claims to fight. She then proceeds to post the massive L that despite making $174k/year (before bribes) she doesn't own a house and still has unpaid student loans Of course this leads the fans of known peepee sucking s*x pest, Destiny, to defend their queen's honor by being anti-freedom communists.
You don't stop it, X is made for this, to push out anything Elon wants, playing with the algorithm to push out fake shit and suppress real things, it's the easiest shit in the world, I bet if I had access I could code the inverse in less than a day.
I wonder if he held this position before Elon bought itβ¦
We're fricked. The last 9-ish years have shown us that something like 80% of the population can be fully fricking brainwashed by propaganda of one form or another; and we haven't figured out a way to counter, stop, or correct it.
No one is immune to propaganda. That's why it's been utilized since the dawn of humanity and will continue until the end of it.
And our national worship of "free speech" has been perverted to mean we have a right to be constantly be lied to.
We should definitely just give the good guys, who never lie, complete and total control over all facts. Surely they would never abuse that power
this would require government intervention to counter, but republicans love fomenting propaganda because they hate america, and democrats will never take steps against social media contagion because they're weak, effete cowards obsessed with protecting land grants and trans visibility, not protecting voting rights or america's institutions.
Please daddy government! Censor these filthy liars! Wait⦠I'm not a liar! Don't censo⦠ACK!
You want to silence people from making up blatant lies? That's what free speech is there to protect bro! That's dictatorship to be anti-lies!!
Freedom hating communist wishes we had a ministry of truth.
I've been wondering why tiny's been so chill with everything going on, and then remembered people on this media diet will only realize it's all fake after things get much worse. I just fear whatever the tech bros are doing will be woefully stupid, even more so that what Donald has in mind.
This "Tiny" he's referring to is the streamer, Destiny, who recently got in hot water after sharing a bunch of videos of himself banging both men and women with his groomercord friends. This led to them being leaked and him being sued by one (or maybe multiple) of the women from the leaks. Additionally all of his former streaming partners have distanced themselves from or completely abandoned him. The reason he has been "chill" is because he is laying low because he knows he's fricked. And this redditor gets all of his opinions from this man. Just remember if you're ever feeling low, you will never be as pathetic as someone like this
I know Americans don't like this with the 1st amendment and all, but at what point do you allow this to continue happening? Maybe it should just be illegal to tell blatant lies like this, but idk
Posts in /r/Vancouver. What do you know, a filthy foreigner with a negative opinion of the 1st amaendment! If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, I'd have more money than AOC!
Anyways, America has free speech and it's here to stay, no matter how much commies cry about it.

Yes, a Canadian Citizen will successfully kill at least one USAmerican before March 3rd, 2025 and a credible source will report that the killer was politically motivated by Trump's actions towards Canada (tariffs, annexation threats, etc.) - 31 bets
nothing ever happens - 171 bets
As with similar bets, I will provide a five hundred (500) dramapeso bounty to the first to send me an article describing an example of the above. If no such article is sent, then on March 3, I will spend five (5) minutes on google news trying to find such an article. If I do not find it at the end of that time, then chudjak wins the bet.

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.)
Yes, there will be a fricking credibly documented case of human-to-human transmission before the fricking start of white-boy summer. - 28 bets
Nothing 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.

Limit social media consumption as much as possible, but recognize that you cannot eliminate it altogether
Based and actually great advice
Pay attention to the comments you make about your own bodies in front of your children and the attitudes toward exercise and food you're displaying. Be mindful of the kinds of messages your kids are getting from their entertainment and social media activity.
Don't shame your kids for eating an entire box of Swiss Rolls, chud
Comment sections also expose posters and viewers to harsh critiques about people's bodies, which can fuel more insecurity and low self-esteem.
Very interesting how wanting to work out and feel better is a harmful social contagion
but
ing out
absolutely is not

Meant to post this yesterday. It's been gigajannied since, so here's the text
To be clear, there's no chad here Everyone is pathetic. But it's still funny to see this tactic used on them.
Who is the user that is blocking everyone to reply
he's a mod of nationalparks sub
So it's this janny: /u/magiccitybhm
Is that a ModSupport Helper level 5 badge?
For some reason (
) there's a lot of jannies like this in ModSupport. They mod some random subs, then make it their life's work to reply all day in ModSupport.
Jannies explain why his mass blocking is problematic
So if you block enough users, especially in a small sub or a sub like ModSupport where the same couple dozen jannies are in every thread, you can shut them out from a lot of the heckin discourse
It's honestly such an r-slured feature We should implement it for rDrama
Power janny ohhyouknow sneed

I frequently mention in front of my straight white male husband that straight white men need a tall collective glass of shut the frick up and listen.
He agrees and mostly does. I meet him in the middle and only watch about a half hour of news/commentary a day. Let's face it, whatever comes about with Sweet Potato Hitlers plans, he will be impacted the least of the two of us. He is with me when I'm crying for the fear and pain of this time and I'm with him as he finds how horribly deep the rabbit hole goes. He knows he'll never be able to fully be in my position or the position of the Navajo who are being detained.
But he listens.

Hopefully I never have to bring up politics publicly ever again but this desperately needed to be said on behalf of the Terrifier franchise π pic.twitter.com/b7soIj9P33

Terrifier is a horror slasher film series known for its extreme gore
Take time to read the very reasonable, if not meek take from the director of the slasher in regard to their horror slasher franchise. Why he tweeted this I have no idea
: that's nice but what about the LGBT community. Im gay btw
more fun in the quotes
The horror fanbase apparently is like the punk and DnD now
