  • There was a few things, I can’t remember all of the details but here’s what I remember:

    The CEO was arrested for abusing his wife.

    One of their content creators, James Ryan Haywood, was accused of having very inappropriate interactions with multiple fans. Some of which being of questionable age.

    There were also staff members who alleged that there was a toxic work environment. I don’t remember if it was misogyny, racism or both.

    Then there were allegations that the team that worked on RWBY were severely underpaid, with most of them not getting paid at all.


  • Something kind of ironic, is that a lot of the YouTube channels I used to watch have at some point had some pretty terrible things come out about them, mostly after I had already stopped watching them. Boogie2988, Mini Ladd, GeePM and Rooster Teeth are some of the ones I can remember.

    For Boogie and Mini Ladd, I don’t remember the specific reason I stopped watching them but I do know that I stopped watching them well before all of the information about them was released.

    For Rooster Teeth, there was only two things I watched them for and that was Fails of the Week, which they silently canceled and never gave a reason why, and the other was RWBY which they decided to move it from YouTube to their own website which was so terrible that the episodes would have severe buffering issues at 240p. I don’t remember what the last volume was that I watched but I know I never watched everything.

    For GeePM, I watched him pretty much up until the day when he tried to cancel Vinny (Vinesause). In response, people were quick to bring out information about some pretty terrible things that GeePM was doing behind the scenes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a YouTuber just completely vanish from the internet that quickly.

    I know for sure that there are more but those are the ones I remember the most and think they are the most notable.





  • You could try Animus: Stand Alone, the android version isn’t available anymore but the PC, Xbox, Switch and iOS versions seem to still be available. It had a sequel called Animus: Harbinger but it seems like only the Switch and iOS versions are the only ones still available. There was also a third Animus game but Revenant is quite different from the first two.

    Another game I can recommend is Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. It was only ever available for the PS2 and Xbox but it’s gameplay, especially during bosses, is similar to dark souls.






  • I have an account for both but I don’t really use them. The only thing I’ve done on Matrix was upload a profile picture and the only thing I use Discord for currently, is just to keep up with the updates for AI Dungeon because for some reason they’ve decided that the patch notes shouldn’t be accessible in the actual game/website anymore and have moved them to a completely different platform.

    I’d probably use them more but I haven’t found a Matrix chatroom that I would actually consider using and most of the Discord servers I’ve actually considered interacting with act like cliques.


  • I started using Lemmy a few years ago because of the blackout that happened then (the one that started because they hired a known pedophile apologist as an admin). When Reddit fired her and made what they considered an apology, I continued to use both just simply because I didn’t like the fact that their apology sounded like they were disappointed in the community for not supporting pedophilia.

    When the second blackout happened (the one caused by the API changes) I didn’t support the statements that Spez was spouting about the app developers. At first I waited to see what their response was to the blackout but they, more specifically Spez, made it obvious that they didn’t care, so I deleted my Reddit account and started only using Lemmy.



  • There are three things, off the top of my head, that I can recall buying but either not using very much or not for it’s intended purpose. The first item is a portable bluetooth keyboard, I got it for the purpose of playing games on my android devices with it but the problem is that I haven’t found many games that actually even have keyboard support. The second item is a portable bluetooth mouse, it’s the same as the keyboard but with the additional issue of not working with my tablet for some reason. The third item is a DS flashcart, I forgot what it’s called but it’s the one from Datel and I had so many problems with it that I’ve been using it’s “Gigapack” for transferring small files between my two computers.



  • Outside of having significantly more formats and methods available (some of which are experimental), the only other thing really notable is that 7zip doesn’t seem to have a “tar before” option, like PeaZip does. I can see that in the manual, that 7zip can tar files before compressing but you have to do that manually.

    I should probably mention that my original comment was comparing PeaZIp to WinRAR. I actually didn’t use 7zip until I tested for the purpose of comparing it to PeaZip in this comment.
