The most entertaining thing that I’ve been following these past few days is the (not serious) drama from this season of State Farm’s Gamerhood. In case this is the first time you’re hearing about this, on the show, Team Respawn (Kyedae, Nick Eh 30, and RDCWorld’s Mark Philips) got fucked over by the other two teams. What happened was that Berleezy and Ludwig, who were on Team Ragequit and Team Rift respectively, plotted against Respawn.

To understand how devious this was, the show has the teams select a hack/handicap for one of the other teams right before a game. Ludwig and Berleezy, during downtime, made a side bet which shielded one of their teams, which meant that the other team had no choice but to handicap Respawn. So Ludwig lost the bet and put his handicap on Respawn. Then, for no good reason, Berleezy also put a handicap on Respawn even though he won the side bet. So Respawn got double hacked.

And to make Berleezy’s action even more confusing, Respawn was in last place. Why target last place when you’re not in the lead? Also, if you wanna know how bad the double hack was, Team Respawn had to play Fall Guys with flight simulation controllers (which also meant they couldn’t turn the camera) and their game would glitch for a couple of seconds. If you’ve ever played Fall Guys, glitching for even a few seconds could easily be an elimination.

But the drama doesn’t stop there! In the finale, I believe that Ludwig’s team actually won the final game. They were 1st place for most of the season, so it was looking like they were going to win. But then, State Farm gave the win to Team Ragequit. From the people I’ve seen commenting on the show, I’ve yet to see someone say that the win made sense. It seems most people agree Ludwig’s team should’ve won.

Oh boy, the reactions from the players has been *chef’s kiss*. I mean, I don’t like negativity, but watching Mark, Kyedae, and Ludwig crash out over how rigged the show was has been the most entertaining thing I’ve seen these past few days. Also, according to Mark, even T-Pain (who was part of Ludwig’s team) was mad as hell. And then there’s Berleezy, who tried justifying making a side bet against Mark’s team by essentially saying it’s Mark’s fault for not realizing that he and Ludwig were plotting against him. It’s clearly gaslighting because who the heck would even be thinking along those lines, especially since the show isn’t like a reality TV series where contestants secretly plot against each other.

I guess Berleezy and Ludwig did end up turning the show into a reality TV series because that’s what watching the behind-the-scenes drama felt like. Anyways, I highly recommend watching the videos about this season of Gamerhood, you can find them on YouTube.

Some other highlights

* XChocobars being part of the side bet but not realizing what actually happened. She seemed genuinely confused lol.

* Nick Eh 30 being so mad about being screwed over that he challenged Clix to a 1 v 1 in Fortnite, which he lost

* The energy in the episode being extremely off after the side bet was revealed

* The hosts being uncomfortable and confused when they learned about the side bet

* Nick Eh 30 being the voice of reason/positivity in his team since Mark and Kyedae were legit ready to murder the other teams. Also, Mark and Kyedae being the crash out duo

* T-Pain really just chilling and minding his own business the whole show lol

TIL about the consumer and free labour

Is this stinking* play about us? Yeah, somewhat.

*Keeping it PG <3

Exploitation is more than just physical labour?

You're probably thinking, "What does an aesthetic Instagram post have to do with this point?" Well...

The circuit of exploitation consists of all the labour which makes our use of and access to technology possible. While mining, technology production, and outsourcing are more obvious forms of exploitation, it is dangerous for us to assume that they are the only kinds of exploitation. In fact, influencers are also being exploited despite wanting a job on an online platform. Even you and I are being exploited as regular users of social media. The content we post and share and the features we interact with are all FREE data for companies to commodify. It’s so odd to think that a person’s selfie or a photo of coffee is being commodified right now...

2. Foxconn is terrible.

TW: mentions of death and suicide

I learned that Foxconn is the largest employer in mainland China, with one of their factories assembling most Apple products in 2017. The conditions at Foxconn dormitories and factories are barely livable and are stress-inducing. It is heartbreaking to hear about the dozens of workers that have either committed, attempted, or thought about suicide. It is even more devastating to see how desensitized workers are to the deaths. In the article, Merchant describes the nets used to catch people who attempt suicide. Merchant says the nets are pointless as people would try to kill themselves even if they were caught in them. Absolutely cruel and inexcusable.

3. China’s Special Economic Zones or should I say, Special Exploitation Zones

What is the purpose of the building on the far left...

China’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are designated areas where trade laws are different from China’s regular laws. Although the zones sound like an opportunity for the country to benefit from foreign trade, they are extremely sketchy. SEZs are looked over by single administrations and are secured with fences. They are spaces for exploitation to occur inside the country. Other countries around the world also have Special Economic Zones, signifying internal exploitation at a global scale.

Thank you again, Madison Trusolino *inserts hyperlink that directs you to her in-person :D*

4. People helping people online!

Something somewhat positive in the midst of everything!

Kyedae, a known female gamer and Twitch streamer!

It is so interesting to hear about projects made by people online which intend to protect other users. For example, the gauttoblocker project by Randi Harper censors misogyny towards women in gaming. This project most likely helped a lot of women pursue their passion in gaming and enjoy the games they love. Another example is the FatUglyorSlutty.com website which collects and publishes instances of hate speech in gaming. These examples are proof of individuals who work to help out online communities but receive no compensation and are looked down upon by companies.

5. Facebook lies about the privacy of their users? Whaaaattt nooo…..

Hope you enjoy the ironic photo <3. Sorry for another jumpscare, this keeps happening unintentionally.

Facebook denies selling data and replaces the word “data” with “access”. Spoiler alert, the word “access” is a fancy loophole for them to sell user data. Facebook allows for advertisers to target their advertisements to users. When a user clicks on an advertisement through Facebook, they confirm the beliefs advertisers have about their profile (i.e. their demographic groups, their interests) and advertisers can become more specific and intentional with their ads. Once again, Facebook allows this because, you guessed it, more money! Who cares about the privacy of their users anyway?

Tonight's March doodles are of Kyedae :)

I haven't seen anything about it on here, but Kyedae was diagnosed with leukemia recently. I haven't watched her but a few times when she's played with my streamers, but I've always found her so entertaining. Seeing the outpouring of love makes things like this so bittersweet. And to think that the gaming community just went through this hurts even more.

Cancer fucking sucks. It sucks worse when it's young, talented individuals who are at the peak of their career. Fuck cancer.
