sad to see the lack of african cinema but Ousmane Sembène said it best

@MewoMewoCS @Ersan1337 what the flip

Ni Hao everyone! In celebration of Chinese New Year later this month, I'm doing a Mutuals Gibeaway of 3 Flip Crimson Webs. You only need to comment to enter. If you're not a mutual, Stay tuned to @Ersan1337 for he will be doing the FFA GA in my stead sometime this month. I will pull up multiple names when it's time to roll, 1 will go to a non trader + non GA hunter, 1 will be FFA and the 3rd one will be luck based requiring to win a coin flip of 3 heads or 3 tails in a row. Rolling will be sometime during Chinese New Year week (Feb 17th onward). ((PS: Like my last GA, Family members will still get rerolled. 🥀))

@ReAnnannanna i think we need a tui for map-making app

rust people i love you but you are making too many full screen TUIs. just because ratatui exists doesnt mean everything should be a ratatui app

@awawawhoami yeah, haven't you heard that they connected the bodensee and lake geneva with two canals? even bulldosed the matterhorn for the southern one, pretty crazy stuff

switzerland is an island

hey guys and welcome back to another "geoguessr race to number one" video. today i will be submitting 73 elo refund requests

@VqltUK this is a bit of a conspiracy theory but i think that scammers are more of a convenient excuse than the real target. imo valve made this update to make the life of gamba sites harder - after all, what gambler wants to wait 7 days for their deposit to go through

How valve should have handled the scamming epidemic A thread🧵

@ReAnnannanna but netanyahu has said that they are just months away from a nuclear bomb! much like how he said it in 1992, 1995, 1996, 2002, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2015, 2022 and probably a few other times that i missed. surely THIS TIME he is right

Constantly repeating "Iran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon" when they are not developing a nuclear weapon is fucking stupid and hard to read as anything but support for an unjustified war

@akselbwo look at this boomer

Big 25 in the big 25 🎉

@bunnyluvr__ @forestdruiddyke if you are on android, firefox supports ublock origin actually! (not on ios tho)

@forestdruiddyke Ublock origin but on mobile you're fucked and have to live with it, sadly

thanks google AI

Make sure to tune into the community-organised GeoGuessr Dutch Championships today, starting now!! (it should end around the time the Americas majors start so you can catch both!) twitch.tv/geonederland

@geoguessr huge thanks for listening to the community!

We will not participate in the EWC. Message from CEO & co-founder below: Hi everyone, I’ve seen your reactions over the past few days regarding our decision to participate in the Esports World Cup in Riyadh. When we made that decision, it was with positive intentions. To engage with our community in the Middle East and to spread GeoGuessr’s core mission of let everyone Explore the World. Since Erland, Anton, and I founded GeoGuessr in 2013, we’ve always strived to be a community-first game. Everyone here at the Stockholm office is a passionate GeoGuessr fan, doing our best to build something meaningful, with you and for you. That said, you - our community - have made it clear that this decision does not align what GeoGuessr stands for. So, when you tell us we’ve got it wrong we take it seriously. That’s why we’ve made the decision to withdraw from participating in the Esports World Cup in Riyadh. We will come back with information on how the wildcards will be distributed as soon as possible. Thank you for speaking up and sharing your thoughts. /Daniel

gotta say, i'm incredibly proud of this little community of map nerds. it's amazing to see that we got every major map's creator unite for this cause, and how supportive the community is. huge shoutout to everyone involved, whether in organising, participating or supporting <3

BREAKING NOW: "all major world maps" on the game @geoguessr have been privated in protest of their decision to participate in Riyadh's Esports World Cup. map creators write that the EWC is used by Saudi Arabia "to distract from and conceal its horrific human rights record."

it's **NOT** normal to show up at a government-funded event in one of the world's infamous dictatorships. i don't care how many other esports do it.

@haterjakob that's the point. bc of a google quirk, if you have your adblocker ON, they pay $0. if you have it OFF, they pay for your usage.

@emilyapocalypse Wouldn't you want them to pay more money? I agree with you but Isn't this counter productive

fun fact: did you know that if you have your adblocker on, you cost geoguessr $0? if you are unhappy about their ewc participation, turn your adblocker off on the geoguessr website. silliest.website:3/blog/you-dont-…

@canadagraphs feel free to!

@emilyapocalypse I already dont use adblockers, but I will amplify that. You dont mind if I add this tweet to the reddit post I made on it?

tldr: adblockers block an api that allows google to track how much geoguessr is using their services. if you have them on, google will literally not charge geoguessr for your usage.

i get that the esports world cup offers an amount of money that can change the fate of many companies in the esports space, especially with how deeply unprofitable the industry can be - but geoguessr ab has a nearly 50% profit margin. what happened to the game i loved??

does saudi arabia want to cause an international incident by arresting tourists? no. are you safe to visit or compete? probably. is it a slap in the face for all the locals who would get arrested for the same thing? yes.

hey so about that
