I use youtube exclusively for everything after I stopped pirating music.

Apparently a few US based news sites have already blocked access to European countries.
Pretty sure that's completely unrelated.
What is it related to?
I think you're referring to the GDPR that came into effect last month. It has nothing to do with copyright but is about data protection instead. It's a Regulation with an extraterritorial scope of application meaning that companies processing personal data belonging to Europeans have to comply with the rules even when they are based outside of Europe. Non-compliance can result in hefty fines so some American-based companies have decided to simply block European IP addresses altogether. If you're American, these sites should concern you greatly. Most of the GDPR really is not all that difficult to comply with. It provides the data subjects (you) with some rights and ways of enforcing them (request that your data is deleted, receive information about what data is saved, what it will be used for and who has access to it...) and subjects the data controllers (the sites / services / companies) to certain obligations (don't use the data for purposes you didn't gather it for, delete data when it's no longer necessary, get informed consent of your users, implement security measures, don't keep sensitive information when it's not relevant...). The fact that these sites would rather block an entire continent rather than protect the privacy of its users and not track you with invasive cookies, create a profile or exactly who you are and what you do, and then sell it to anyone with an interest should be an alarm bell going off. They're probably up to some pretty shady shit they know they couldn't get away with.
I'm not referring to any new regulations specifically. I've just heard that some US based news sites have recently blocked access to EU nations. It's not surprising to me that many sites are collecting data on their users and would rather block access than to stop. It's even less surprising that it would be news agencies struggling to maintain relevance in the age of the internet.

Can't believe that Halo 3 is going to be the only one with an FFA playlist. What's so hard about having unranked FFA with all games included?
Edit: I want them to take out KoTH from BTB from all BTB playlists and I'll be happy, and have other Halo 2 maps show up for once instead of fucking District and Uplift all the time.
I never get to play district or uplift because the halo 3 cult will vote anything that has Halo 3, even if it's longshore slayer fifty times in a row.
I noticed this rather early into playing BTB and just stopped searching that playlist. Don't understand why nobody wants to play anything but H3.

There's also a room just before the Firesage's place I forgot to mention. It's just a weird hallway with dead trees, strange arachnoid things that aren't hostile, and a door that won't open—even after all I've done so far. The spiders aren't hostile, even though I had a kneejerk reaction and killed one. Not sure what else I have to do here.
If you want a small hint about that door:
Spoiler It will open but you have to sacrifice a ton of humanity. And another fairly significant hint You have to open this door to save Solaire from going mad.
lmao too late
You opened it then? Or found the other side?

there's already a consequence -- epicmafia is down completely for european users and will be forever according to Lucid (site admin)
EU players all have to use VPNs to continue to play
Shit the regulations haven't gone into effect yet. That's fucked.
This is completely unrelated to what this thread is about. Let's not just jump to conclusions and ride the bandwagon.
I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm just saying that it's fucked the site admins would ban European users when their doesn't seem to be a good reason to do so for now.
I think I'm understanding you perfectly. :p The reason the site has blocked European users has nothing do with the current or upcoming copyrighted content rules this thread is about.
I don't think they banned Europeans for the looming copyright rules. When I say they haven't voted on it yet, I'm wondering what reason they have to ban people from Europe because there doesn't seem to be any good one so It looks pretty fucked to me. tbh if I thought they did it because of the new proposed regulations I would say it sucks but it's understandable. I need to clarify my thoughts better in the future it looks like. . .

Sounds pretty dawn awful if you ask me.The proposed regulations appear to have pretty grave consequences for the future of fair-use content creation or even just the sharing of information. A campaign has been established to push back against this, but apparently there's only one month before they vote on it.

I just want to know why such high profile people with so much to lose choose to publicly say such edgy controversial shit and then backtrack once they face the consequences.
If you have fucked up beliefs, then at least stand for your fucked up beliefs so you can at least say you're an honest person, and people can at least know what you really think. If you're so concerned with the consequences of those beliefs then why make a public display out of them and then backtrack when faced with backlash? It's just a pitiful sight.

This screenshot is doing less justice to it than I would've wanted, but this place is gorgeous.
Not sure if you've found out yet but there is more to that location that it just being a nice backdrop.
It's been months since I first came here, so I may or may not know what you mean, but I'll snoop around.
Definitely keep snooping and if you want a tiny hint then here: Spoiler Don't snoop around in the tomb of giants for it, you'll have to look somewhere else.

One of my favorite artists, Sithu Aye, remastered his first album Cassini and I enjoyed it thoroughly, but that's probably the only remaster I've ever really listened to.

It's only there for you to join his stupid covenant.
Joining that stupid covenant gives you the gravelord sword, which is one of the most powerful weapons in the game and can be acquired very early in a play-through.

Never really watched his content but it's fucked that he couldn't beat the cancer. I give him props for making videos for as long as he did and respect his contribution to gaming as a whole.
Some of the stuff I've seen from people shitting on him after his death or praising that he's gone because of his involvement with gamer gate is seriously pathetic, but I suppose there will always be people full of vitriol and hate towards you when you take a stance on anything controversial.
