So yesterday Nick Robinson (popular games journalist/personality) tweeted about the framerate in Overcooked and how the devs responded to it. Also he was pretty rude to people.
This is not that unusual for Nick. He often says things on twitter that cause some controversy. It’s also not really the focus of the current stuff going around, it was more a jumping off point. As people joked about this exchange this tweet was made.
This led to a lot of people talking, some in vague ways but others in more direct terms. That Nick had approached several women asking for nudes, sexual things and generally being a creep. He then used his image as a “softboy” and his popularity and connections in the community to keep them silent. Being the first to talk about Nick would mean harassment from fans and skepticism from colleagues. People who would think that Nick couldn’t do those things due to the image he has cultivated.
(the above is from HBomberGuy, a popular youtuber and games critic)
I can personally say I have been in a similar situation as him for the last couple of months. Many women I know in the industry have talked to me about Nick and it was, like the anon said in HBomberGuy’s ask, an “open secret.”
TL;DR Nick Robinson has for the last few years sent creepy messages to women, asked for nudes and has made many women feel uncomfortable and scared to talk about it.
Magnus originally named the Temporal Chalice the “time cup”, but Lucretia made him change it.
bullshit fucking bet she just started calling it that after she erased his memories bc he wasn’t there to argue
I take it back, this is a much better scenario:
*Back in present day, about to fight the Hunger* Magnus: *Ready to attack in a super dramatic and cool pose* *stops dead and turns around to Lucretia* Wait…I didn’t name it the Temporal Chalice Lucretia: *sweats nervously*
sean spicer, a total asshole, wanted a minifridge so he wouldn’t have to drag his re-animated corpse to the cafeteria and be seen by all the people that openly mock & despise him on a daily basis, so he sent one of his assistants to go take a minifridge from an office of junior staff at the white house
and those staffers told Spicer’s messenger to go fuck himself, that’s their fridge and they actually need it because they don’t get meals at the cafeteria like spicer does
so, instead of being a reasonable human being and ordering a new one off Amazon, that asshole personally himself went to the officer at night after everyone left and stole the fridge, carrying it back to his office in the white house with his own hands
like that’s the perfect story to totally encapsulate what a complete and total joke not only this current administration is, but that the very bedrock institutions of American democracy are
it’s literally a fucking joke, they couldn’t write something as ludicrous as this on fucking Veep
I legitimately thought this was some ridiculous-but-aptly-metaphorical parody from the Onion that people on the internet hadn’t bothered to fact-check, but no. Dozens of mainstream news outlets have covered this. The fucking WSJ is the one that apparently first covered it.
Sean Spicer is a very rich man. How rich nobody knows exactly, but for starters he pulls down nearly 200k a year just from his WH position. He also happens to own SEVERAL million dollars worth of real-estate, much of which he rents out. Motherfucker could have just bought a minifridge. Shit, he could have given one of his staffers a few hundred bucks to buy one from a goddamned store and install it.
But no. He decided to try and bully a bunch of junior staffers into giving him theirs, which they needed quite a bit more than he did, and when that failed, he straight up fucking stole it from them. At night. And personally carried it back to his office. Asshole STAYED LATE AT WORK and PHYSICALLY EXERTED HIMSELF just to be petty and vindictive. He actively WENT OUT OF HIS WAY to be a shitty person.
And like, I don’t want to over-generalize here, but this seems perfectly emblematic of the current mindset of the GOP; both the actual elected officials and the dipshits who voted them into power. These are people who are perfectly willing to hurt themselves to get something they don’t even need just because it will annoy or harm people they don’t like. These narcisistic shitfucks would literally drop a cinderblock on their own shriveled dicks if they thought it might mildly inconvenience a liberal.

The guy, the youth pastor, made a big deal of–”This was the first murder in the Bible. This is the root of murder.” And then, as I was walking back to my dorm room–probably to masturbate–I realized, he’s also the first person to die. Which must have been a trip for Cain.
