Well, one way or another we're dancing around the center right now.

Wow, there is a lot of hate right now on the TPP reddit.
Look, hijacking a stream is a dick move in any situation, but if, if it is because this guy is worried about his income security and needs to make a living somehow, well I can see how you might get a little vindictive. Twitch is a competitive platform and the idea is to be the most entertaining to get views, rather than screw with others, but at the end of the day we all have to eat.

And really, is trying to screw things over for everybody because you aren't getting what you want that different from start9?

Speaking of dick moves, Darksyde Phil apparently made a video about TPP. While i haven't watched it, from what I've heard it's mostly complaining that people dare to watch something that isn't him.

I have quite a bit of doubts that it has anything to do with him losing income. Not much evidence for that sort of motives at all from what I've seen. And anyways the guy is violating several twitch rules, including raiding and streaming other peoples streams without permission (its considered plagairism since you get ad revenue)

Eh, he is pretty much the Amazing Atheist of gaming, that is he gets off on being annoying. No surprise there...

Also, RNG plays pokemon at hyper speed.

Yeah apparently Destinys opened up a radio thingy to talk to the TPP community from what he's been saying this has pretty much been for the lulz. I can't  check to confirm at the moment for real life reasons.

Mod Turbo nightbot: RNG is running with a 5% bias on start, a 15% bias on A, and a 10% bias on B. The movement bias will most of the time be set for ~2% toward the current goal.

Yea but it is running gen II, perhaps that lends itself more to random button mashing than gen I? Also it has been going at times 5 speed for four days now, so that is about twenty game days.

Which means it is not a true RNG.

You can still have biased results with an RNG. Take a 2d6, for example.

Yep. It's called a curve.

The part where it makes the generated numbers less random.

By "True RNG" I meant "choosing randomly without changing the probabilities because a human said so". And seeing as this RNG has its probabilities controlled by someone, it is not a "True RNG"
