Topic | seems like kiwi farms is finally getting shut down |
Esrac 08/26/22 8:11:54 AM #65 | thronedfire2 posted... from database breaches, duh? for every major one you hear about on the news there are probably 100 others that never get mentioned Don't even need that, really. If someone puts their name out there, you can use that to check available public records for addresses, arrest records, etc. |
Topic | Do police make any effort to verify "swatting" calls? |
Esrac 08/25/22 3:20:59 PM #13 | LordMarshal posted... So when someones been swatted before and they answer another call for same residence just the same.. What I've seen from some streamers is they contact the police and basically tell them "Hey. I'm a youtuber/twitcher/Podcaster/etc. This is my address. There are people online that might try to call a fake swat in on me. Please be aware of that." I saw it happen on a Mr Metokur stream a month or two ago. Police knocked on his door midstream, but the situation didn't escalate because he had spoken to them beforehand. |
Topic | seems like kiwi farms is finally getting shut down |
Esrac 08/25/22 3:10:08 PM #20 | It doesn't look like that, when the site is up and active right now. |
Topic | Do you lean more right or left, politically? |
Esrac 08/24/22 4:32:25 PM #38 | I pick and choose. |
Topic | Should I play Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous again? |
Esrac 08/23/22 8:30:42 PM #3 | I'd just hold out until the enhanced edition. |
Topic | Nowadays, could you commit yourself to spending 100+ hours on a single game? |
Esrac 08/23/22 4:09:47 PM #58 | Yeah, but over a greater period of time. In my teenage years, I could commit 100 hours in two weeks. Now, it would spread over more than a month. I've put a couple hundred hours into WoW, Civ, some CRPGs, Total War, etc. Not so much jrpgs these days. |
Topic | Kyle Rittenhouse has a video game out |
Esrac 08/23/22 4:07:42 PM #20 | yemmy posted... I would imagine the reason is money. Fair enough. Still pretty cringe. |
Topic | Kyle Rittenhouse has a video game out |
Esrac 08/23/22 3:39:51 PM #8 | Jesus Christ, kid. Look, we know your case was clear-cut self-defense. But there is no reason to do stupid shit like this. Just take the W and go home. |
Topic | Just ate some Church's Chicken and that shit was the mother fucking bomb |
Esrac 08/23/22 1:43:46 PM #7 | VeggetaX posted... Popeye's is aight. Was about to get that since it was closer but that line be out to the mother fucking streets, feel me? Popeyes has the best food, but the absolutely worst customer service. It is so bad at every Popeyes that I almost never go there anymore. You can be waiting in the drive through for 45 minutes, even if there are only 3 cars. |
Topic | Who's the most powerful, broken Fire Emblem unit? *Spoilers* |
Esrac 08/23/22 1:41:33 PM #18 | I don't know if he still is, but for a long time it was Seth. He could solo his game and do it pretty handily. Haar is up there too, but I don't put him on the same level as Seth, because he doesn't have the same availability. Seth is available for nearly the entire game. |
Topic | Just ate some Church's Chicken and that shit was the mother fucking bomb |
Esrac 08/23/22 1:39:47 PM #3 | Popeye's > Church's > KFC Of the three big chains. And yes, Church's is carried almost solely by their biscuits. |
Topic | So is Yamato from one piece accepted as a guy or what? (Spoilers) |
Esrac 08/23/22 11:55:41 AM #8 | Without being a One Piece reader, from the bit I'd heard about the character, I assumed it was kind of like Naoto from Persona 4. The character is a woman, but adopts a masculine alias to accomplish specific goals. |
Topic | WingsOfRedemption is going to be on PKA again. |
Esrac 08/23/22 8:44:38 AM #7 | DanChase posted... 1. PKA = Painkiller Already. It's basically the podcast that FPS Russia and friends run. Wings used to be a founding member, IIRC, but then they had some big falling out. Long story. It's all over YouTube. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JYnJiGXmZns Mad at the Internet podcast covered Wings and his trolls a couple years ago. A bit long of a listen for most people though. |
Topic | Why is Kamoshida seen as a pervert? Yet Kawakami is seen as a good teacher? |
Esrac 08/23/22 8:28:04 AM #15 | This does remind me though. I'm over 30 now, compared to my early 20s when I first played the Persona games. It definitely feels different to have teenage girls throwing themselves at your self-insert player character when you're older. When I get around to playing P5R, I'll probably just have to romance Kawakami just because it'd be a little less awkward for me as an adult player. Maybe if P4G hadn't made Kashiwagi so awful. |
Topic | Why is Kamoshida seen as a pervert? Yet Kawakami is seen as a good teacher? |
Esrac 08/23/22 8:09:34 AM #11 | RchHomieQuanChi posted... Because Kamoshida was physically abusive towards his students and he literally threatened retaliation if they would not give him sexual favors Oh, well, if the teenaged student says its fine, then that totally absolves the adult teacher of any wrong doing. |
Topic | Saints Row reboot getting low/mid review scores |
Esrac 08/22/22 6:07:37 PM #37 | The complaints I've heard are about dated gameplay, excessive bugs, poor and humorless writing, unlikable new cast, and a boring and uneventful world. |
Topic | Your favorite of the seven most popular ice cream flavors in the USA? |
Esrac 08/21/22 5:57:20 PM #29 | Of those, I think butter pecan is my favorite. |

Esrac 08/18/22 1:14:43 PM #8 | Every day, we stray further from God's light. |
Topic | Nexus modder banned after making mod that replaces pride flags with American |
Esrac 08/17/22 2:14:24 PM #91 | DuneMan posted... Bleh, replacing Seelah would leave you with something boring, like Valerie from Kingmaker. I'd much rather see a Paladin that didn't follow the 'lawful stupid' archetype. Valerie was, unironically, my favorite character in that game. Followed by Jubilost and Linzi. |
Topic | Andrew Tate has a net worth $350 million |
Esrac 08/16/22 11:11:47 PM #4 | I don't know who this guy is, but the past week or so I keep seeing his name pop up here and there. |
Topic | Interesting that despite being set in Africa, Lion King's Protag is white |
Esrac 08/14/22 11:57:07 AM #24 | I'd say brownish-gold. |
Topic | When was the last time ya cried? |
Esrac 08/13/22 2:29:27 PM #49 | I don't remember. A couple years ago, I guess. |
Topic | What moment killed your interest in a show, comic, video game, etc.? |
Esrac 08/12/22 10:52:52 PM #53 | Walking Dead, when they killed Carl. I didn't particularly like the character or actor, but I liked the idea of the show being about Rick trying to make a safer, better place for his children to inherit. After they killed Carl like a chump, I just stopped watching. |
Topic | Its crazy how many guilty gear lore masters there are now. |
Esrac 08/12/22 10:47:52 PM #20 | I used to play GGX2 all fucking day back in the PS2 era. And I really couldn't tell you much about the lore beyond there are some monsters called Gears, the Japanese are special for some reason, and there were knights that would hunt down gears. Or something. Maybe a little something about each character I played. |
Topic | Trump is under investigation for espionage |
Esrac 08/12/22 8:47:12 PM #138 | A former president possibly being charged with espionage? That should be interesting to see. I hope the investigation is a thorough one. |
Topic | The House of Representatives Passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 |
Esrac 08/12/22 7:01:11 PM #6 | How's that tax credit work out anyway? I was considering having solar panels installed on my home, but hesitated because another major expense came up. |
Topic | Rise in lonely single men |
Esrac 08/11/22 8:39:43 PM #37 | DespondentDeity posted... Is this in the study? If its the article I'm thinking of, I dont think there is an actual study. So much as "some women on TikTok told me something". |
Topic | TeaMilk is SUSPENDED |
Esrac 08/11/22 7:25:51 PM #70 | DocileOrangeCup posted... Someone asked for the black man ass pic and they offered to send it over email or off site. They had no active moderations at all. Seems dumb. Gamefaqs taking notes from Twitch now? |
Topic | Unity (yes, the game engine) signs deal to work on US military defense |
Esrac 08/11/22 7:23:05 PM #17 | That's cool, I guess. Let's see what they actually do with it. |
Topic | If Steam Deck actually gets support RIP consoles. |
Esrac 08/09/22 10:18:03 PM #12 | I want one, but if I got it then I really would have even less reason to touch my Switch. |
Topic | I regret not buying a house |
Esrac 08/09/22 7:24:17 PM #7 | itachi15243 posted... Does no one on CE have someone look at a house before buying it? No offense. >.> I had an inspection done on mine, but there are things they can't necessarily catch. For example, that the main sewer line would collapse six months after I bought the house. Though, fair enough, I suppose I could have seperately paid a plumber to run a camera through the pipe beforehand. At least they were able to tell me that the HVAC system was over 20 years old, so I was financially prepared for the cost of replacement. I just wish it hadn't died 4 months after I bought the place. |
Topic | I regret not buying a house |
Esrac 08/09/22 7:11:46 PM #3 | I bought a house last year. My only regret is buying the house I did, because there are a bunch of things that have needed repair. If I had more time, I think I'd have selected a different one, but I was on a deadline to move and the market was so crazy that homes we liked more were off the market before we could actually look at them. |
Topic | LGBTQ+ activist Keffals Has Been Swatted by Transphobes |
Esrac 08/09/22 7:03:17 PM #69 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Depending of what you mean by that, Kiwi Farms doesn't get taken down, because it doesn't do anything illegal. Making fun of people, saying mean things about people, recording information they put online themselves, even doxing, etc are not illegal. |
Topic | Do you believe in the "High Value Man" rules? |
Esrac 08/09/22 5:00:03 PM #75 | A_Good_Boy posted... Which of these rules are you personally offended by? Indeed. None of the 5 listed are what one would consider particularly objectionable. |
Topic | Funny how WB was banking on Batman/Superman and the Justice League |
Esrac 08/09/22 4:22:23 PM #8 | For a long time, I wanted to like Man of Steel. But its just not good. The creators just seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of Superman's appeal. Superman Returns wasn't very good either. Shit, I dont think we've had a good Superman in a movie since the Donner movies. |

Esrac 08/09/22 4:18:55 PM #4 | Nobody wanted dark and gritty Superman. |

Esrac 08/09/22 3:58:41 PM #34 | Doe posted... Also lol at everyone trying to throw out shade about people not seeing "nice" in quotes when the graphic actually presents a double negative, telling the reader to 'be the "nice" guy' Now that you point it out, it seems like a funny oversight. |
Topic | Would you try Ketchup or Mayo ice cream? |
Esrac 08/09/22 3:54:19 PM #3 | No. I dont think so. |
Topic | Is it possible to come up with a worse healthcare system than the one in place? |
Esrac 08/09/22 3:53:37 PM #30 | I will say, I one major benefit of joining the military is that my family and I have had better medical benefits than we ever did in the private sector. Aside from the ER, I have to use military hospital care, so I'm more beholden to wait times than they are, but my wife and kids are covered under Tricare Select, so they have more freedom to choose their own doctors, but the out of pocket payments for treatment and medication are much more manageable than private insurance was. |

Topic | Do you believe in the "High Value Man" rules? |
Esrac 08/09/22 3:43:43 PM #25 | George Washington never used pickup lines. He always dressed to impressed and stayed fit. He was well known to be modest and rarely, if ever, ever publically spoke ill of others. And the dude was so beloved and valued that he was unanimously elected as Commander in Chief of the continental army (where he declined being paid a salary) and, later, President. Twice. As an Independent. The nerds we elect these days can barely make over 50%. ... I've been reading a biography lately, ok? |

Esrac 08/09/22 2:25:56 PM #13 | Ivany2008 posted... Try being in Canada. It sounds great in theory, but because most places are short doctors wait times are ridiculously long. I have a cousin who now lives in the states who wouldn't have it any other way than the way they do it down there. As long as he has the money to get seen, he can go in and within a week he can have all the tests he wants done. Tragedy of the commons, man. |
Topic | David McCullough dead at 89 y/o |
Esrac 08/08/22 7:30:25 PM #4 | Oh, man. I just listened to his narration of 1776 a few months ago. I've listened to John Adams twice over the years, though he didn't narrate it himself. I've not felt this bummed out since the death of Edward Herrmann. |
Topic | so trump wanted the army general to be loyal like the generals were to hitler O_ |
Esrac 08/08/22 1:37:23 PM #15 | Any individual president expecting the military to be unwaveringly loyal to him is deluded. What a buffoon. |
Topic | The OG fighting game femboy is BACK |
Esrac 08/08/22 5:26:31 AM #2 | Well, they're just bringing back a bunch of old characters from X2. First Anji, then Testament, and now Bridget. Who's next? Zappa? Robo-Ky? |
Topic | Am I being extra if I report a coworker who was way out of line? |
Esrac 08/07/22 9:57:26 PM #5 | So, my suggestion is generally try to address the issue at the lowest point in the chain first. Talk to her about it directly. Explain what the issue is, why it is inappropriate, and what can be done to fix it. If that doesn't work, then take it up the chain to a supervisor. Or HR. Or whatever, depending on how your company is structured. |

Topic | WB's anti-shipping is going to backfire in the worst way |
Esrac 08/07/22 9:16:12 PM #16 | NoxObscuras posted... Cool, I didn't know they were doing a reboot. I loved the original Tiny Toon Adventures. It was one of my favorites, growing up. I hope they do it well though. Some reboots have been amazing, like Ducktales, but some have been terrible like Powerpuff Girls 2016. I will grant that. Ducktales was a well done reboot. |
Topic | WB's anti-shipping is going to backfire in the worst way |
Esrac 08/07/22 9:13:51 PM #15 | Sayoria posted... They did that "Make 30 minute plot point" episodes with the reboot of that show too? Man, it totally kills the interest. I think they still had some skits, but I can't remember anything that really sticks with me. It didn't help that most of the characters that weren't the Warners and Pinky and the Brain weren't around anymore. I know they still had some musical numbers, but nothing really catchy. I don't remember the funny references to classic Hollywood coming back. |
