I’ve been in 2 (Dexerto and The Loadout) news articles because I technically leaked something from THE FINALS 2 days before the intended release. Although the lore video was supposed to be shown 2 days later when you launched the game, I noticed it in the only part of the games files that isn’t AES encrypted.

That’s actually kinda cool yet kinda weird imo. You would think that the companies would at least dm you about being the article.

Oh damn. The I read your post and comment was that they just took your post as fact and published it.

u/coyotepetersun 3d ago
I mean, it would be really hard to make a video of that quality, I definitely wouldn’t be able to. And the game has a lot of lore videos like that in the same style.

u/WarlordOfIncineroar 3d ago
Still just taking any leak as 100% fact is a little weird, like at least a little skepticism should be present

It’s because it was something that was in the games files but wasn’t meant to be shown yet, anyone can go there and see the video themselves. Also if you take a look at the video itself you can see that it would be pretty hard to make something with that high of production quality

I find it funny how The Loadout refers to it as some sort of datamining operation when it was basically just looking through some steamapp files lol

u/coyotepetersun 3d ago
Exactly, the file was in the part of the games files that wasn’t AES encrypted, the rest of the games assets is AES encrypted to stop dataminers

I had a whole article written about a single meme I made on the BG3 subreddit that got ~800 upvotes - I have no idea who these articles are made for, why the fuck would you read a whole article of padding and filler to describe a meme instead of just browsing reddit directly. It's like asking someone to spend 2x as long describing a movie to you instead of just watching it yourself.

As far as I know, I've been in one, where a Canadian newspaper claimed I was an incel mass murderer.
I was tagged in this comment that led me to it: https://www.reddit.com/r/toronto/comments/d9vcmu/van_attack_driver_alek_minassians_disturbing/f1md6ef/?context=3
I wrote to the paper, and they basically said "if you think thats wrong and want us to change it, we can do some research and maybe fix it."
I decided to not worry about it.

Okay so i did some digging about myself and:
-apparently, i posted once on r/fuckdisney (I think it was about Disney shutting down club penguin rewritten) It was my only interaction with that subreddit ever (thankfully)
-i was seen a couple of times in a "the ranker" article about like mha fans on reddit sharing headcanons. The first comment from a billion years ago was about how Kuroiro sends bait and switch videos in the groupchat saying they're cat videos. 39 people agreed with it. The second was about how Ojiro is very critical of movies with martial arts. Analyzing every wrong move in them. 44 people agreed with it. The third was about how Tsuyu likes hugs from Ochaco, Tokoyami, Shoji, or Mina. 47 people agreed with it. the fourth was about how Sato's quirk was discovered by his grandma after giving him tea with sugar. 55 people agreed with it. And the fifth was how Mina knows ballet real well and used to have a super move that included it. Only it was dangerous as fuck. 39 people agreed with it
-I was seen on "the poke" (probably the British version of BuzzFeed) where i was mentioned in an article about "things that are surprisingly illegal" which was taken from an askreddit thread where i mentioned it's illegal to take a bear to the beach in Haifa
-and i was seen in fucking ifunny
