I think he only used C to build the installer. The rest was coded in x86 assembly.

Building anything in x86 assembly is a gargantuan effort, but then Chris Sawyer built a game on the same level of scale as RollerCoaster Tycoon...

Well yes, it was in very large part because Froggy had chosen to associate with Sam Hyde, by having them train together for CC2 and plan to collab on their own content. And Ian's beef with Hyde was that he insulted his girlfriend, which was what got him banned from CC1 in the first place.

Ian’s growth has been one of the most amazing things I’ve seen online and I can’t understand people who hate him. They always bring up shit that would, at most, bring me mild annoyance if it was about someone I hated online, but they say that this somehow makes Ian a horrible person. Insane.

My problem with iDubbbz isn't that he stopped doing Content Cop and that he ditched his old edgy persona. I completely understand why he, Filthy Frank and others pivoted away, because none of this would fly on 2025 YouTube.

The issue is that he's a hypocrite.

You don't make this elaborate apology video condemning your past content for its cruelty and "cwy hawassment" at people you don't like, and then proceed to drop a Content Cop on H3 a year later because your viewer count is dwindling and you need to defend your political streamer buddies who had been relentlessly harassing and swatting Ethan on false claims that he and his wife are Zionists.

In his initial Content Cop video, he didn't even once mention CPS, despite using clips from a H3 podcast where Ethan was discussing the time when Snark had called CPS on him over falsified claims (spread by people within their clique) that he was neglecting his kids.

When Ethan's response to the Content Cop was far better than the hit-piece iDubbbz dropped on him, it was clear Ian fucked up.

It's more complicated than that. As in Sam Hyde has actually been involved in some of this drama. The creator of this video didn't include footage of him out of being a Hyde or MDE fan.

iDubbbz (Ian) did a documentary on Sam Hyde and they were both trying to make each other look silly with the footage they had. Sam released his edit but it took ages and a lot of pressure for Ian to release his side. After this, they had a falling out which later impacted Creator Clash and ruined Ian's credibility.

Creator Clash 1 was successful, but Creator Clash 2 was very unsuccessful and ended up $250k in the red for a few reasons. One of the big ones is that Ian removed Froggy Fresh from the card (facing a tonne of backlash for doing so) and tried suing him over fees relating to the event simply because he was friends with Sam Hyde, and also over a joke Froggy posted online about signing up to Ian's girlfriend's OnlyFans.

Last year Ian released a video titled "I miss the old iDubbbz" which was kinda prompted by the backlash he got towards CC2. He effectively apologized for his old Content Cop series and for his old edgy humour and acted like he gained a tonne of empathy.

And then... He dropped a Content Cop on H3 about two weeks ago which proved his apology video was full of shit.

H3 (Ethan) used to be friends with Fr0gan and HasanAbi until October 7th, and then they had beef over their stances on Israel & Palestine, he and his wife (who served in the IDF because Israeli citizens have to do mandatory military service) got labelled a Zionist and had been relentlessly harassed ever since. One of the people in their circle spread false rumors that Ethan wasn't cleaning up dog shit and was endangering his kids, and so actually maliciously called Child Protective Services on him. Ian of course omitted all context of this and spun footage in a way that made Ethan look like an unhinged asshole.

It's important for the context of why fans fell out with Creator Clash after the second one.

They had a premium membership thing going, and there were some who posted under an alias.

Hacked by a rival image board, all its moderators, janitors and premier users who made accounts have been doxxed.

The new owners who bought it from Moot in 2016 legitimately never updated the backend... The server was still running on a nine year old version of FreeBSD and PHP.

Aren't there ways to treat the asbestos and prevent the fibers from becoming airborne and posing a serious risk?

Not good. Made redundant a few weeks ago, it feels like recruitment agencies are wasting my time.

Maybe a bit of a cold take, but my guess is he went back to Romania because Romanian or British prison would be preferable to a Salvadoran supermax.

Spez is a spineless cuck.

If Putin had any desire to conquer Switzerland, all I'll say is good luck. They're:

• Heavily fortified, with hundreds of bunkers dotting the countryside
• Highly mountainous, which would heavily slow down a ground invasion.
• One of the few states to still practice mandatory military service.
• Pretty lax with gun ownership, to the point where citizens have a statutory duty to bear arms in the event of an invasion.
• A substantial player in the banking sector with many oligarchs using their service. Any freeze they'd put on Russian assets would likely go above and beyond what NATO and the EU managed, just because of how synonymous their banks are with the wealthy. They would probably send the Russian economy into freefall long before they could even get anywhere near Zurich.
• Surrounded from all sides by NATO and EU member states, and would likely have plenty of time to prepare their own forces in the unlikely event that Russia mounts a full-scale invasion and takes over the rest of Europe.

Because Spez is Elon Musk's little bitch.

Look at it this way, I paid £3,290 per year in tuition fees to attend university back when I went. The price of tuition has since nearly trebled to over £9k.

If I paid £9k per year for online courses and was denied the student experience of actually attending a university campus (as many teenagers who went to uni during COVID had to), I'd be fucking livid!

Again, depends on why. If there's documented evidence that you were fired for say... refusing to ignore safety laws.

Novelty/troll accounts. I've seen a lot of them pop up on Reddit over the years. The most infamous one I remember was one called Gradual_ (yes, the n-word) that would type out ordinary replies that would gradually switch to ebonics.

Reasons that are fine to mention: Last job was temporary, I was made redundant.

Reasons that aren't fine to mention: I quit due to overwhelming stress, I was fired for capability/gross misconduct reasons (unless it was an unfair dismissal which you successfully challenged in court and have the documentation to back it up.)

Isn't his daughter the VP?

Qwant is actually pretty decent compared to the competition.

Does Trump want to fuck with the impenetrable banking fortress nation that is Switzerland?

Weight is one of those things that most people can largely change about themselves. I agree it's a lot harder to regulate your weight when you have conditions that reduce your mobility and make you burn far fewer calories like ME/CFS or fibromyalgia, but the basic principles of thermodynamics still apply.

Trump isn't one of those people with a debilitating condition other than his age. He's genuinely an unpleasant glutton who lives on a diet of Big Macs and Diet Coke.
