Clip of his response: https://www.twitch.tv/piratesoftware/clip/AssiduousTiredBoarRitzMitz-j0W1S8wiY9wGCtK7

Video summary (timestamped at where he just trashtalks the movement for a solid minute) https://youtu.be/R-RaQZPzhqU?t=494

I don't know if there's any real good TLDR for this situation, here's the best I could find: https://www.sportskeeda.com/us/streamers/pirate-software-stop-killing-games-controversy-timeline-events

WoW controversy part https://deltiasgaming.com/pirate-software-world-of-warcraft-drama-explained/

There's a couple of other stuff like abuse allegations against him and other minor controversies like cheating in puzzle games. You can look those up if you want.

Also, for context, I do not condone any of the harm sent his way. I think what he's done is pretty scummy, but he and his team doesn't deserve being sent death threats and swatted

The thing the switch can do is play closed garden games because nintendo refuses to release their games anywhere outside of their own consoles

I guess you could use an emulator but thats not ideal for 95% of the population

A lot of older generations own a house pretty much

It's easier to put into perspective when you look at how much cheaper houses were before they got bought up by private equity

Unpopular take is a bit of an understatement. He called the entire movement shit and trashtalked it instead of just disagreeing. He also, after all the responses, doubled down and said he hopes "the movement gets want it wants, but not what it needs."

It's also not really a one off situation from PirateSoftware

This just served as a way for others to shed light on how scummy he is as a person in general.

Presenting male but identifying (mostly just not publicly out) as another gender

Usually a thing trans ppl do to avoid situations with family or because they live in a red state

Patriotism is acknowledging the flaws of your country and showing love for your country by trying to improve things

Nationalism is about blind loyalty to your country and thinking your country can't do no wrong

My workplace still has one

Granted there are actual filter water dispensers as well, but this water fountain isn't uncommon still

If the only issue is the looks, could you not do something like a vinyl wrap or just plaster it with art?

Critique should not involve ripping pieces of work, that's super out of pocket. I'd be devastated if something I was happy with got ripped. It doesn't even make sense to rip a critiqued piece. How can you do post analysis if its destroyed

You can allowlist certain channels and allow certain types of sponsors (self-promo for example) from what I remember

Not saying you have to get sponsorblock tho

The slogan was used in direct opposition against Trump and the republican party

It's reductionist to complain about the phrase in general because you've taken the slogan out of the context it was in. In an ideal scenario the US would have actual candidates that don't want to dismantle democracy, then the slogan would make no sense. Like in Vermont, where Bernie Sanders offered an independent choice that actually believes in leftist democratic values.

Unfortunately, when the choice is between fascism from Republicans or the status quo with Democrats, you best believe the US should vote blue no matter who, because the other option is infinitely worse.

Uhh a 3060ti costs about 250 to 300 usd nowadays. There's not really anymore scalped pricing on these unlike covid times
