Congratulations on being the first person to do something with AI that will directly make my own, personal life worse. You are a monster.

An AI that makes the internet even worse than it is! Congrats to the team.

You're a horrible person. Your mother should be crying. You're the vanguard of a trend that will damage the mental health of millions or billions, especially if taken at all farther.

AI posing as human customers to promote your product on the web is fraud, change my mind.

This should be illegal.

Nobody wants this

You are helping to ruin society , not that you care

Bhim Army members of the Charmakar caste did Shuddhikaran of Dr Ambedkar's statue because Chirag Paswan of the Dusadh caste touched the statue.

It's pure casteism. Ambedkarites should get rid of their casteism first before giving gyan to non-Ambedkarites. pic.twitter.com/6bzDT0LKEI

Remember Star Wars Republic Commando? Fun game for its age. One of the characters in your squad was a commando named Scorch, and he recently had been making "cameos" in Star Wars The Bad Batch, a spin off of the Clone Wars show. Taking place after Revenge of the Sith, the show involves a group of clones that did not betray the Jedi and now go on wacky adventures. Scorch was not one of these clones, appearing as an enemy at times. The other night, the finale for the show aired in which the Batch killed Scorch.

Our chud of topic here is BluePhoenix, a 27 year old Star Wars and Halo fan. BP starts losing it over Scorch's death.

He starts losing it, and I mean, losing it. This guy cannot believe media would kill off a character that hasn't been used in anything else for 20 years.

We finally get to the linked "I hope WW3 happens" tweet which reaches a slightly larger audience.

People also start memeing it

The guy's still reeing about the death over a day later.

Considering he can't stop talking about it, I can only assume that this has become a fetish for him.

The creator of Naruto doesn’t agree with this take https://t.co/JekuTfEZi7

The claims⁠, which were mainly shared on X (formerly Twitter) but also popped up across Reddit and Facebook, range from Vanguard preventing startup programs from firing correctly to other programs crashing when the anti-cheat software loads, and some have even suggested Riot's kernel program has been “tampering with unrelated files.” Others simply dubbed it “malware” and declared they would be quitting League until the program stopped breaking PCs.

One high-profile example came from famed League creator LS, who reported both his computers breaking after Vanguard was installed on May 1. He said he fixed one by taking out the CMOS battery and forcing BIOS access, but suggested his other computer is “still bricked.”

Several user posts on the purported Vanguard issues have also been shared to the main League subreddit but they have since been deleted.

While Riot has yet to address any of the early backlash directly, tech staff have been active in the “Patch 14.9 Bug Megathread” on /r/LeagueOfLegends. One Riot reply suggested some of today's alleged issues “wouldn't be related to Vanguard” and offered up a simpler solution⁠—restart impacted devices and run PC troubleshooting.

The same Riot staffer also suggested any aggrieved players could upload Riot Vanguard logs to the League support page to help “isolate what the issue is.” All the Reddit comments from that Rioter have since been removed.

This comic is weak and obvious overall, but I love the simple joy on the bear's face.

i'm open to suggestions
