Oh man I just remembered that white buddhist Monk guy that joined the chapo discord and got totally shit on for being a weird chauvinist who moved to Myanmar and didn't even bother to learn the language.

Those are known already as "influencers," especially when peddling RAID Shadow Legends.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

If you're sincerely whimsical about really liking a treat, that might be a good time.

I vibe with treat cleric so hard but I'm gonna go with...

Treat Druid

  • thinks if they make their own versions of treats, the treats won't be categorized as treats
  • fridge full of Mystery Jars(tm). Is it a propagated yeast culture for home brew? Is it a variant of simple syrup? Is it bokashi serum? Try it and find out!
  • starting to suspect they're an unironic posadist
  • constantly trying to get you to start growing your own weed
  • often shares the dubious products of making their own treats
[–] CriticalOtaku@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Treat Samurai:

  • Specialises in replica katana

  • Will bend over backwards to justify the worst excesses in treats "just because they're from superior nihonjin" while denouncing western treats even when they're functionally the same

  • Has a city to burn

[–] ssjmarx@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Treat Elf

  • Deep analysis of my treats via multiple theoretical frameworks
  • Appreciation for a wide variety of treats, not just the ones I like the most
  • Understanding of the full context and history of treats
  • Haven't watched or listened to a new treat in at least a decade
[–] Ho_Chi_Chungus@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We should have these next to our pronoun flairs

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

TheLepidopterists - he/him treat assassin

[–] Cherufe@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

I was thinking that none of these come even close to describe my complex relationship with treats but then I read Treat Warlock and I realized :stuff:

Necromancer: i will never stop restarting the Tolkein struggle session :sicko-pig:

[–] axont@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

treat necromancer could also be like someone obsessed with penny dreadfuls or 1920s pulp magazines but in an even weirder non-ironic way

"yo, you have gotta watch my favorite movie. It's from 1913, it's called The Lovely Horse Gallop."

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

On second thought, I could add a "Treat Ranger."

-Experienced and familiar with the treat's intersectional ecoystem with other treats.

-Can maneuver safely through the favored treat's environment.

-Has favored enemies within that treat's ecosystem.

-Abrams is a charlatan and a hack that breaks almost every toy the studios hand to him.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

My first thought was that a M1 Abrams could easily break any toy, but that would describe Treat Barbarian.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Treat Thief, I exclusively consume pirated media.

[–] riseuppikmin@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Reminder (if you're in a hellhole where a VPN is needed for torrenting) to bind your network adapter in qbittorrent to your VPN so that in the event your VPN drops it doesn't automatically fail over into the host ("real") network interface and expose your ip for copyright claims.

This is found under settings -> advanced -> network Interface.

Also reminder that any game that you definitely legally own that only uses steamdrm can be played offline by using the Goldberg Steam emulator. Check the readme on that project page for more information/instructions.

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just use private trackers, never bothered with a VPN and I've been torrenting since it was a thing.

[–] riseuppikmin@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I really should spend some time to get into the better private trackers (MaM is the only one I've used).

My advice still stands for anyone using public trackers.

The private tracker ecosystem used to be so much more vibrant and easy to get into. Trackers like red with their weird interview shit are just about gatekeeping, that shit's for nerds. Cool trackers hand out freeleech tokens or don't give a shit about your ratio unless it's award winningly bad.

Treat Blood Mage:

  • can articulate what treats and behaviors are associated with characteristics (BP) and bloodwork results (triglycerides, cortisol)

  • encyclopedic knowledge of action/adventure movies from 1980-1999

I'm a treat berserker - I consume them uncontrollably and then become disproportionately angry with myself about it
