Of course the Honkai: Star Rail web event Aha's Chosen was rigged bullshit lmao

Screenshot of the Winners List for the Honkai: Star Rail web event Aha's Chosen. The list shows redacted winning player UIDs across four prize categories. In three of the four categories, every single winning UID starts with an 8, which corresponds to the Asia server. Only one category, the Premier Partner Prizes, includes a mix of winners with UIDs starting with 6, 7, and 8, representing the Americas, Europe, and Asia servers.

I would like to send a formal complaint to Hoyoverse #ZZZ

Stats for Drive Disc in Zenless Zone Zero.
It rolled DEF% 3 times, DEF 3 times, and only CRIT Rate once and CRIT DMG once. Very sad.

I've accidentally gotten myself into a situation where I get infinite turns in the Honkai: Star Rail match-3 game mode and it's not even a match that matters, but I feel like I have to keep going #HonkaiStarRail

I'd argue there's a different issue going on here. Luckily other people are making these cool tags to show when an account is just stealing content for engagement:

The "SKY Explore" account is tagged with "Repost Accounts" and "Occasional AI Imagery".

Ok, YouTube stream for The Game Awards 2024 looks fixed now. Although I'm pretty sure they're still just upscaling the 1080p stream, because it definitely doesn't look like native 4K. But at least they're not using a shit upscaling method now.

Cropped screenshot of the YouTube stream for The Game Awards 2024 showing that it uses a not-shit upscaling method now.

For comparison, this is what the 1080p Twitch stream for The Game Awards 2024 looks like when I full-screen it on my 4K monitor.

Cropped screenshot of the 1080p Twitch stream for The Game Awards 2024. It looks much better than the 4K YouTube stream since it doesn't have ugly artifacts from bad upscaling.

Looks like the "4K" YouTube livestream for The Game Awards 2024 is once again just the 1080p upscaled using a very awful method and it looks hideous. How do they keep doing that? Actual amateurs in charge. Ridiculous.

Cropped screenshot of the YouTube live stream for The Game Awards 2024 showing some kind of stair stepping or other bad artifact from the awful upscaling method they are using.

Looking for experts on Danish law. Would I get fined if I made a custom flag like below and put it on a flagpole after January 1, 2025?

The Yogscast because entertaining. Drakon Astron is Yogscast videos too. Among Us Academy is there because they upload VODs of Steven Suptic and co playing UNO. Probably why YouTube thinks I watched a lot of Among Us. Star Rail because waifus. Raora because big pink cat. idk what gamer card is for

Dokibird is cool. Learning about the 'end' of Tetris was neat. Watching the Yogscast is fun. Honkai: Star Rail has waifus.

Text at the top says: "I was there for"
In the middle is a drawing of the vtuber Dokibird.

I was one of the Dragoons who tuned in to support indie VTuber Dokibird."

Time for some YouTube Gaming recap. Garry's Mod is there because of the Yogscast. I play Honkai: Star Rail every day, but I didn't realised I also watched this many videos about it. Minecraft and VRChat are probably there because of vtubers. I do not remember watching a lot of Among Us this year.

A pie graph showing how much of my YouTube watch time was gaming. The text below the graph says: "8.0% of my watch time was gaming"

"122" is written very big in the middle. Below that it says, in smaller text: "I watched videos about 122 different games this year"

Text at the top says: "The game I watched the most this year was..."
In the middle is a title image for the video game Garry's Mod.
At the bottom there's text that says: "Garry's Mod"

At the top the text says: "My top games of 2024 were..."
Below that is a list of the 5 games I watched the most. The list is left-aligned, with the title image first, then the name of the game to the right of that.
The games are: Garry's Mod, Honkai: Star Rail, Minecraft, Among Us, VRChat.

Some kind of wallaby I think.

I got my so-far rarest card on November 15; the 2☆ card Zapdos EX. Very fancy.

Been enjoying Pokémon TCG Pocket. Hoping we get Torchic soon. I would love to have some friends in it, so if you see this and also play, please tell me your friend code :) Here's my collection so far:

Didn't find a sign for this one either, but I think it's a female white-faced saki (pithecia pithecia). Least Concern.

I could not for the life of me find a sign at the zoo saying what kind of tortoise this is, but I think it's probably a radiated tortoise (astrochelys radiata). Critically Endangered.
