I have some good sessions but when you're rusty and get hit with a bug it gets a bit frustrating. It'll get better over the weekend 😅 *MAXIMUM COPIUM*

you have to enter with one character BTW, you can only do it from inside the lobby, not on the character select

The issue is that other people are selling it in their stead, creating random brands, doing the advertisement, and selling the same machines. They get bad reviews, they close it down, rebrand and resell. You can even customise the looks (some of them have cat ears and different colours). The manufacturers just pump those out. People could be selling any other product, but they decided this was the scam they were going for, that's the disturbing part.

that's your take from this? it's about the practice, not so much where the factory originates. It happens that often that place is China, but that's only because they have the manufacturing capability and positioned themselves to make that process quite easy. That is not a comment on "Chinese people" but a reference to the state of affairs. The dropshippers are mostly to blame because they are the ones selling without any quality control, but there's something to be said about the whole practice of mass producing re-brandable stuff without accountability when safety is involved, regardless of where it comes from.

Yeah, I think a lot of people are forgetting about those with limited mobility, chronic pain, and so on. We shouldn't be blaming the consumers, just the companies.

To be fair, I didn't pre-watch it but I left it in the edit because I thought even though some events are tough to stomach, maybe that's what's needed to spread the message about this sort of stuff. The original video has more examples, but I left those out because I think we got the point.

It seems there are plenty of them that are fairly safe, the original channel reviews a few of them, but looking at the design of this one, it's infuriating how anyone thought this was a good idea. Yes it has sensors, but even the other (safe) ones with sensors have additional safety features in case everything fails.

The insanity is that there are plenty of safe machines, albeit expensive, but people dropshipping stuff like this without any concern for safety is pretty wild.

If it's grayed out, enter the lobby with one character and try there, if it's not, it should open a browser window. I recommend making sure you are logged in into twitch on your browser before doing this because then it would just open a tab asking you to authorize dark and darker using your current twitch account. If nothing is happening when you click the button, keep clicking the "proceed" button until your browser opens, and ignore any errors that might occur, the servers might be busy with many people doing the same. If nothing happens still maybe wait a little bit and try again later. Remember that you only need the account connected to redeem the drops, you can still get the watch time without connecting your account, so you have plenty of time to redeem them. That's all I can think of, hope it helps.

@@davexmachina It still doesn't work😢

damn :| I really have no idea then...

Gotta go for boots + rapier 🤣 I legit thought they would have some equipment restrictions but no, it's just a trade of stats like other races.

I was but a young grasshopper 😂😂😂

I live in London

I think this is what happens when you have a show to do, and your crew doesn't do enough research because they think you can just "wing it" and no one would care.

Thank you ❤ I think so too, and I'll do a short version, but the audiences for shorts are often very different, and I don't have time to maintain a separate clips channel 🤣so I did this one first. For context, I do AI research for a living 😂 Mas durante alguns streams (normalmente no Twitch) tento desmistificar o que a tecnologia faz ou perco as estribeiras com a quantidade de "word soup" usada por empresas que querem injetar "AI" à força toda nos seus processos em vez de se perguntarem primeiro de se precisam ou devem... anyway, thank you 👍

@@davexmachina I don't think I'm a hater for saying this, but AI is being overpromoted by blue chip companies for their own benefit, much like other agendas, because they make regular people believe it can do things it actually cannot do, or, like you say, it is out of touch with the objectives of the project. Wishing you very good luck with your channel, you've got the voice and the charisma. I might be joining you soon (car and home diy). I'm assuming, from your accent, you're Portuguese, much like I am.

It's one of those that are hard to fit into a single video I feel. Portugal was everywhere at point in History, so picking and choosing what to talk about is hard, but I think he was fair anyway. But the relationship between Portugal and Brasil is one that almost deserves it's own video for sure.

@@davexmachina he was not neutral, and that has nothing of innocence. On the other hand, the video he made about the portuguese influence ends up contradicting himself 😆

Well, people in the north do call us that 😂 but as far as I know, even though Portuguese people have more North African DNA than people in other parts of Europe (especially in the south), it's still pretty minor in comparison with the rest of our genetic past, all things considered. The "reconquista" was pretty brutal and I don't think that many stayed behind. In any case, the Moors as we called them, were miles ahead in many things like science and technology, agriculture, art, and their influence in shaping the Iberian peninsula is undeniable.

I didn't live through the 1755 Lisbon earthquake either. What is your point? 😅

If you eat a fresh grilled fish in Sesimbra you will taste heaven...im a fish and seafood lover, i travelled the world and i can guarantee to you...the best fish and seafood in the world is located in a fisherman village in Portugal called Sesimbra! Every food lover needs to go there and try it once in your lifetime...its the best food in the world you can possibly eat...fresh fish right from Sesimbra atlantic coast to your plate, grilled!

As I said, It's not really my cup of tea, I think it's too much... it's also completely different from every other type of Portuguese food, so I look at it as a popular "gimmick". Há muita gente que adora mas continuo a achar que é um excesso onde todos os ingredientes se perdem. To each their own though 😅

Na verdade nós temos muita variedade e muitas influências, só não somos muito bons a vender a nossa cozinha. Talvez precisamente por ser tão variada seja difícil de encapsular o que faz da nossa cozinha algo especial para quem não a conhece.

I have one vid coming reacting to Jamie in Porto (where he tries a Francesinha). Personally Francesinha is too much for me, but I get why people like it ❤️

Adoro a cozinha de Moçambique. Tenho pena de não conhecer mais a fundo. Um dos meus restaurantes preferidos em Lisboa era Moçambicano. Em Londres há alguns, mas encontro mais misturas dom comida Portuguesa, still good but, not the same. Que pratos dirias que representam bem Moçambique?

A cozinha de Moçambique tem tem especiarias da Índia. Mas a pimenta foi introduzida pelos Portugueses vinda do continente Americano. Aliás foram os Portugueses que meterem os Indianos, os Singaleses, etc a comer comida picante.
