Then, i wanted to install some monitoring software and opened the browser, i saw he wasn't running any kind of adblock and installed it. went onto youtube, and it kept showing some crypto miner advertisement, followed by no video (regardless of video that we opened - this clearly wasn't youtube's ads being shown). re installed his system (he had nothing important, so we didn't have to back up anything) and that fixed it, no ads on youtube and no searing hot GPU problems. while we didn't 100% definitely confirm that it was a miner, the PC's behavior is good enough evidence imo. Note that he's not the pc illiterate type of person to fall for the "free iphone" or "download more RAM" type of deal, meaning he wouldn't download sketchy stuff, and on a lot of websites there are possibilities that your PC can get attacked through ads. so yeah, hooray for ublock origin.

If you consider free to air TV you have only a on/off choice over commercials/adverts. The point is they actually do work as intended. Advertising overall sells the product.

It's a shotgun cartridge of pellets. They only need to hit a very small percentage for it to work. And work it does.

Thank you. The only part where we disagree is, that in my view the skill ref....is partly intended to introduce subs. Not skill tree wise, but by shafting how the game is played. Subs don't have a role and don't fit in the rock, paper scissor principle Subs don't have the speed to zip around the map, therefore they have to spawn close to the ... capture points. So by shafting secondaries and introducing "deadyee", they tried to ensure that the BaBBies will not go there, because then they will become food for them. So.....they actively try to f the game (again) to introduce a class (again) which had a protracted development (again), which otherwise don't fit in the game (again). WeeGee at his finest ( again).

He stopped wasting his time where he wasn't being listened to and said what he wanted. They clearly didn't value his opinion or input so it shouldn't be a surprise if they get rid of him. If they expected to have him participate and be or act like anyone but himself that's a problem on Wargaming's end for having ridiculous expectations.

The question is, the general cut down by machine gun fire, where the bullets metric or imperial in size?

Sorry this game died for me with the Carrier rework. There was a serious skill cap on a part of the game that was a bit counter intuative to a game about shooting ships.

Creative and marketting departments don't seem to work together. So when one takes a decision that is overridden by the other, it takes two or three months to correct the mistake (to the condition the second accepts the changes), so that way of making a game inevitably turns it into an administrative dinosaur... I'm ready to bet that Flamu being kicked out last week was due to a change of management in some marketting/CC department, that new person wanted to be the zealot to solve a problem, he or she (may be a she let's face it...) saw Flamu's rage and decided "Oh, come on, you say he has been a pain in the ass for five years? That guy will likely make us lose money, let's kick him out, whatever the reason used". Administration dinosaurs are no stranger to that tactic, particularly in HR department... One manager lets things lose, the next says stop and acts like a douche to "solve a problem". Of course here, Flamu still being able to play and stream the game won't shut up. They pulled a Darth Vader killing Obi Wan here. 'If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine". If they really wanted to shut him up for good; they should have banned him from the game for good, but of course, he never really crossed that line and it would have been very difficukt if not impossible to justify banning him from the game altogether. So they opted for the only options they had, kick him off the CC program. But I wonder why Flamu stayed there as long as he did instead of quitting himself. Oh, yeah, he wanted to sneak peak into new info about the game for his audience, because that guy doesn't have a real job and lives out of idiots paying him on the internet... Yeah. Although WG acted like hypocrits, I can't say I'm feeling dramatic about him getting kicked out, it was about time.

Oh come on Jingles, most of us do have problems of our own, but we're interested in how you're doing, including problems that you're willing to share with us. I myself lost all of my savings because I I decided to start my own business in the tourism industry basicaly at the moment when some chineese first coughed over some fried bat. Some time later I learned that my girlfriend has someone on the side and here I am- 40 years old and pretty much at square one plus a cat. To be honest, I'm not even upset about it all, I always appreciated beautiful disasters and besides I could luckily get back to my old job at a mountain shelter in the most remote part of Poland (Bieszczady mountains), I'm mentioning all this to make a point- sure, we all have our problems, but apart from the fact that we care about how you're doing, it's always easier to listen about someone else's problems rather than dwelling on our own :)

"You in the back stop laughing" I'm sorry I'm going to need a minute.

If Wargaming became as honest as the guys who made the Christmas "Free Garage Slot" advert, that would be a legit culture shift. Unfortunately it would require replacing most of the management.

I use ad blocks because I don't like youtube's intrusive ads, like grammarly (which just the other day I saw a video from a channel by an English Professor called Zoe Bee on how bad it actually can be) I much prefer these kinds of ad you did this video, it's not intrusive, and it's related to stuff that I might actually like! so keep doing it!

Part of the problem with the Airborne losses in Sicily was the Allied Naval forces shot at the aircraft carrying the Allied Paratroopers hitting many of the Aircraft. at least according to the men of my Dad Regiment who were Paratroops for that operation. That and they were scattered all over the place jumping at all kinds of altitudes with not optimum winds and landed right on top of a German unit with a lot more men. because the Allied Paratroopers were scattered and did not land anywhere close to where the whole Regiment was suppose to land. The Regiment had similar problem about being scattered and not being dropped on their drop zones when they jump in Operation Dragoon in Southern France

Jingles I can counter with Trafford Leigh Mallory (he who replaced the brilliant Keith Park) was opposite during D-Day and was totally pessimistic about the chances of Airborne/Air landing survival. Yes the landings where scattered but it also helped to spread confusion within the German command to counter act.

Hope you feel better soon Jingles.

"Whatever u may think of WG, they are not stupid" 🤣🤣🤣 I nearly fell out my chair laughing

I remember watching part of a Flamu stream replay a couple of years ago, and he sure didn't _look_ very happy playing-- I was thinking to myself, "if he looks kinda miserable playing the game, why doesn't he find something he'd actually enjoy?" He reminded me of a well-trained French chef who is absolutely miserable in the kitchen partly because he can't understand why his sous chefs aren't as good as him. If he's feeling better now that he's no longer a CC, that's cool. "I don't condone losing your shit in chat, it doesn't make anyone other than yourself feel better..." I would argue that's actually debatable. I don't think I've _ever_ felt better during or after losing my cool (one thing I've learned in 42+ years of not dying is that adrenaline surges are not kind to me), so I endeavor to not put myself in a situation where I would lose my cool, and when I play multiplayer, I try to have as much fun as possible even if I lose. If one _does_ feel better behaving like a pissed-off Linus Torvalds in chat over a game, especially to new players, I wouldn't think very highly of him, even if he has a record number of wins in the game (it's kind of similar to my contempt for most billionaire CEOs). I've seen hundreds of so-called "free to play" (AKA "freemium", AKA "pay to win") games, because that crap started on Facebook and tried to infect social networks at first. When that went nowhere, that business model went right to smartphone games, and nearly all of them are worthless. The only such games I play are those I have a decent chance of enjoying without opening my wallet (and if it's one that tickles my otaku fanboy itch-- Dissidia and Record Keeper, I'm looking at you-- I might pay a little). While there are outliers like the "so big we spam ads everywhere" Raid, the vast majority of these games fail, even with massively popular IP attached to them, because they are so low budget, because you can see them sticking their hands in your pocket the way they force you into an unwinnable situation, and because sooner or later they will run out of good content.

I did not even know Flamu before this incident, it actually gave publicity to the guy, therefore a bigger voice.. and i would like to add that having a game being frustrating is making people spend on it. So the only counsel is : do not give money to them when your suck, give them money when you perform well, it will move their algorythm to make you a better player because it associates your success and money incomes. If the algorythm sees the opposite, well it isn't given any reason to make the game less frustrating.

To be honest. The way you and lindy beige does sponsers. It's actually entertaining and doesn't bother me personally at all.

Also Electroboom. His sponsor plugs are so good I actually look forward to seeing them.

Flamu spoke truth to power, and he doesn't need CC to speak it.

Appreciate the history bit at the end! Like the earlier days!

I'm not surprised or upset WG is trying to make money, I'm upset (though not surprised) that they lie to the player base.

"I'm sure you can all think of different examples of your own, great games that simply sank without trace because they didn't have the marketing budget" Hawkens :(

Yeah history! Thanks for the book tip. Sounds great.

Okay I haven’t seen a mingles with Jingles since like episode 220ish so I have alot of catching up to do😂. FYI youtube never recommends your videos until today so I guess time to turn on the bell icon.

It's one thing looking at other players stats. It's another thing to call them bad names. It's the bahavior that's bad.

Jingles by extension you can apply the screwing everyone in the chase for profit to every big business ever.

Gotten one or two books on Jingles' recommendations, and loved em both dearly. When some more cash shows up I'd love to shell out for this one, too.

What still makes me confused is how business owners DO NOT get that "happy customers" result in GOOD THINGS and that not having happy customers will result in failure--whether that is having a sub-quality product or offending customers.

...and thanks for bringing that issue up for discussion, Jingles. The statshaming one. One thing is what people read from a construction of numbers, another is how they choose to understand and react to what they read. I didn't play for tanks or stats, when I started playing World of tanks, I would only play the game for the social aspect and be good enough to join along, with those who got me to the game. Later, I wanted to be good enough for statshamers to simply just shut up and leave me alone. I would like to know and see what player of any game who is absolutely 100% flawless, every time. Those raising their hands and saying "I am flawless, Mary, learn from me. I make no mistakes at all in any game I play" are simply just lying.

Awesome video, keep up the great work!

Was looking forward to this one! Heya Jingles

I wonder if anyone thought to check what caliber bullets killed General Hopkinson?

This is kind of depressing to hear considering how excited Jingles was when he joined the CC program all those years ago.

i love your historical stories.

Jingles, money is feedback. More money is positive feedback, less money is negative... If you want to influence WG or any publisher, talk using your wallet.

whales dont care. they insta buy anything they see, no matter the cost. u saw all the PR in the game...it was clear it was extremely overpriced but they just dont care. i saw players with ALL premiums in the game, 1 battle with each...and then almost only T10 silver ships... they actually converted all the fxp to get them instantly...the cost would be insane.

WG is doing well, and even with the negative consequences impact on money-stream is just not apparent enough. However, I wouldn't be surprised if WG needs to take extra 'steps' to keep profit growing to keep reaching the KPI targets set from them. The Pandemic muddles the data, but also the last couple of years there are so many premiums that are actually too 'good to ignore', Crate mechanics that entice you to spend just a little bit more money than you reasonably would like to, etc. But even so, this just means the WG game developers get tasked to provide new mechanism to squeeze out a little bit more money. To have a company really change their perspective, deviate from set target plan, is extremely rare. WG is far from being in such a shitstorm that they feel the need to do anything than make small course corrections.
