Apparently South Park has been scrubbed from Chinese internet because they made fun of Xi. Kind of amazing that there are still people getting upset at South Park

China does strange things to you.
Don't forget that Blizzard also just banned a HK Hearthstone player as well as two taiwanese analysts because said player voiced his support for the protest movement in a post-game interview

Yeah they closed it pretty fast after the news blew up. Official blizz forums are deleting all threads and posts about the case too from what I read.

Closing it makes sense tbh. Unless Blizzard runs that reddit ( I don't think they do?) I'm guessing the mods probably didn't want to say anything on their behalf, and with the insane amount of threads being created I would also assume it was probably impossible to handle/moderate everything.

Apparently one mod made it private then deleted his account and no one with higher mod powers was available. Or so the other mods claim. It is plausible, but weird.

You know i come here just to talk about dotes but i guess i can't escape reality.

I know corporations are full of shit and greedy as hell that only care about profit but hot damn being blatantly that upfront at their greediness in favor stomping people.

Looks like sooner or later i'm just gonna end up reading books alone(seems their is no bullshit-ry in that area)

In slightly happier news, I started getting lessons again on the cello and have to rebuild almost every part of my technique - both arms were doing weird/bad shit, so I have to start again, almost from the beginning.

The good news is that my hands hurt a lot less with the new technique so I can definitely spend more time practicing, but it also means that my weeb shit consumption's had to decline a because of the time commitment. I do think I sound better now though, so that's keeping me motivated.

I think in like 6 months I'll see about joining some sort of group for music but I need to rebuild so much technique, it might take something like 12. :S

Recommended 150GB for RDR2 on PC, Jesus. Yeah, not going to get it because I don't want to blow through my metered net and spend two days downloading.
