The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent
vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums
here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules
document is now in effect.
The current plan is to attempt to start the Holiday Forums on December 23rd sometime during the day. During this time, the Future State Planning Center will remain open. The Holiday Forum merge will last (if Vanilla cooperates) until January 3rd.

The patch is explicitly verboten
Oof
They should probably be running the patch, for one the game looks significantly worse than it should as it's either way too bright or the lighting engine isn't working.
Jan and Jeff kinda grate on me when they start getting horny over random stuff but that's more of a pet peeve and it never goes on for too long.
Like, at least with Jeff G, he was planning on leaving anyway.
Jason getting it was straight up cruel because of his medical needs.
And then it felt like a month or two later they started bringing TurboShawn in to help with producer duties.
Continuing the corporate culture of dump for quarterly profits, hire new people next quarter to be able to do the job.
Edit: this dig is at Fandom, not GB.
"can we name dead ones?" They ask themselves and then immediately turns to "Name the first dead guy that you can think of"
Guys....
My sense of time is fucked because I thought it was still Red Ventures when they fired Jess and Jason
EDIT: ah, October and then the following January
Like I guess it might be harder for Dan given that he's live the kind of sitcom protagonist life where he's personally met a bunch of people he watches on TV but even so...
i don't remember things leave me alone.
Alfred Thayer mahan.
His name sounds like a monopoly guy looking mother fucker Superman would hold upside down in the air for doing something shitty
ah, okay name 100 living female public figures, I guess
I could probably just go through musicians and singers and get most of the way there
I could absolutely name well over a hundred transformers though.
I think one trap a lot of people fall into is naming women that are good. Like you can also name Eva Braun, Coco Chanel, Sarah Palin, Margaret Thatcher, The Fabulous Moolah, just all kinds of pieces of shit.
It really seems like it's more of a question of how long it would take you.
I wouldn't necessarily have to look people up, but I'd have to kind of think about it for maybe a few hours at least
I could maybe name one hundred people
One hundred feels like a lot of people
I mean I might be able to
The idea of it being timed would make me totally blank on it though after a few
they're supposed to be notable living people, so that narrows it down a bit
Also that they CAN be streamers, which is an oddly specific rule. Don't know why that would need to be specified. Like are we worried that Grace Van Dien leaving acting for streaming would disqualify her or something?
this is much easier now
the challenge was originally created by streamer QTCinderella as a joking challenge for other streamers to prove they aren't misogynists:

I'm pretty sure the whole thing is inspired by this bit:
Here's a statistical analysis of the streamers that got called out in that original post and actually did the test, which is actually kind of interesting despite the dude's delivery:
A Statistical Analysis of the Name 100 Women Challenge 10:09
And here's a follow-up with more people who did the challenge:
How Fast Can Women Name 100 Women? - A Statistical Analysis 10:06
The average time in that small sample size is 26:28, by the way, just in case you want to compare your own results. 30:48 for men, 12:37 for women.
I wouldn't describe that as a problem at all.
I will say, the original intent is good. I'm always going to approve of exposing/driving out misogyny.
Give me time, and I can give you a list of anything you want. But on the clock? It's going to be a disaster. I know many things, but I'd still almost certainly absolutely bomb on Jeopardy.
