    Yeah that's basically what I'm running into now. I went melee masteries because melee + khopesh + specialist looked like the most fun, but now I need to either do melee Jad (which would probably be easier than I think it is) or slog through effectively a vanilla range Jad with god d'hide & an rcb. Zombie axe has been pretty killer as an intermediary melee upgrade before I get a whip. Especially with the t5 mastery making it a 2t weapon

    I've been playing a duo GIM with an online friend of mine for the last ~2 years or so. A bit over 2000 total level and getting to the point where the most efficient thing I can be doing is locking myself in corrupted gauntlet till I get a bowfa. I have well over 100kc already but just don't enjoy it very much so don't force myself to do it if I don't feel like it. Honestly these days like 80+% of my game time is second monitor content while I work from home. Camped at redwoods till 99 & now just trying for the beaver pet & seeing how high I can make my arrow shaft stack.

    Have also been dabbling in leagues a little bit. Was kind of hoping to go for the rune trophy at least but I still haven't even gotten to mithril & I can feel myself losing steam. Maybe will be more enjoyable once I'm able to focus more on PvM with the new echo bosses & weapons

    For what it's worth, you can mouse over the individual boxes & it will pop up the state & year it represents. Definitely isn't the best way to display the data, but it is all technically labeled....

    For what it's worth, you can mouse over the individual boxes & it will pop up the state & year it represents. Definitely isn't the best way to display the data, but it is all technically labeled. And mostly everything is sorted alphabetically, except they put Alaska before Alabama, I'm assuming because they're labeled Alaska & Ala., and they also put Washington D.C. (D.C.) before Delaware (Del). But they did manage to put Maryland (M.D.) before Maine (Maine), so doesn't really seem to be any method to the madness.

    I don't think communities surrounding streamers are really comparable to those in other forms of entertainment. There's so much more interaction between the community & the creator that I believe communities surrounding content creators are very largely a reflection of said creator. This is also influenced by how their communities are moderated, which ultimately is driven by what the creator deems is appropriate, who they delegate moderation privileges to, etc.

    That is to say, compared to other streamers even within his network (OTK), Asmon attracts a disproportionate quantity of some of the worst people on the internet, and I don't believe that's a coincidence.

    Since he was stealing from Google, it seems unbelievably idiotic that he used his personal Google drive to exfiltrate the data. Surely it's obvious that that is the one service that Google would have the most insight into. Seems that something like Dropbox or even a thumb drive would've made it much less likely he gets caught. Maybe he thought a Google employee uploading things to a Google service would be normal enough to not raise any red flags, but there were almost certainly better options.
