7:33 PMeathdemonI am glad I spent my switch money on a 144hz monitor instead

7:34 PMMsd8115I don’t know how if its legit or not, but someone on give made an article about how the joycon has bad reception when shoved up their ass.

7:34 PMMsd8115vice* but knowing vice I have no idea if its satire or not

7:40 PMeathdemonthe switch was rushed, but it kinda needed to be, or it would have been doa

7:40 PMLakster37the jupiter was essentially supposed to be a cart=based version of the saturn, apparently

7:40 PMMsd8115are you from /v/ dude? how did you even find this stream

7:40 PMSeiruffsorry

7:41 PMSeiruffANDREW CAN I SEE YOUR BUTTHOLE ON STREAM

7:43 PMEddie Santanathe blue screen is fake

7:44 PMjordan thompsonI was wondering if you where doing bucket list questions

7:44 PMMsd8115anime

7:44 PMMsd8115wait no we talked about anime last week

7:45 PMAndrew EisenNo bucket list questions tonight, sorry!

7:46 PMMsd8115woah woah

7:47 PMMsd8115kotaku? isn’t kotaku the place where they called most gamers sexist?

7:47 PMAndrew EisenNot that I’ve seen.

7:47 PMMsd8115probably a difference website that gamergate was against then

7:48 PMAndrew EisenGamergate’s not a fan of Kotaku. That’s true.

7:48 PMlittlegittelUm, we had free HBO *cough cough*

7:48 PMLakster37I swear… octoroks are the worst enemy in this game…

7:49 PMHardensoul 72Yes, it was a thing. we have someone gave us cards for satelite for all channels

7:49 PMHardensoul 72for like $50

7:49 PMMsd8115its been awhile since ive been on 4chan, mainly because I’m life banned from it

7:50 PMMsd8115Hiroshima ftw, by far the worst website owner I’ve ever seen

7:53 PMMsd8115Canada isn’t the place to be atm

7:53 PMMsd8115the prime minister says that if you fight back against terrorists they win

7:54 PMLakster37money is supposed to be paper, not plastic, and not smell like maple syrup!

7:54 PMLakster37*proceeds to use plastic credit card for all transactions*

7:54 PMMsd8115plastic is better though, its cheaper and the currency lasts longer and isn’t easily destroyed

7:56 PMLakster37to be fair, most flash carts are MARKETED for piracy

7:56 PMMsd8115^

7:56 PMLakster37I love using them for what I consider legitimate purposes though

7:57 PMLakster37I wouldnt know ANYTHING about that site…

7:58 PMMsd8115the pirate bay isn’t the best to use anymore in my opinion, but I torrent porn and movies, so my opinion isn’t worth much

7:58 PMLakster37btw msd, I was just joking about the plastic currency thing, I mostly agree

7:58 PMMsd8115its okay <3

7:58 PMeathdemonI like the changes

7:58 PMMsd8115really? I cheat on tf2 I’m positive that valve doesn’t care about the community

7:59 PMeathdemonthey made it, so steam codes dont count 6 months ago

7:59 PMMsd8115valve just cares about money now, which would explain the csgo skins and crates for tf2

8:00 PMeathdemonits becouse some devs were exploiting rthe system for higher scores

8:00 PMMsd8115^^^^^^^

8:00 PMMsd8115can we talk about how rampant hackers are on valve games?

8:01 PMeathdemonits to stop devs from inflating scores

8:03 PMMsd8115I mean..hackers are everywhere on valve games, ive been cheating for a good week now and still haven’t been banned and my boyfriend has cheated for far longer

8:04 PMMsd8115just look at your main profile
