Hello #EASPORTSWRC players,

We are aware of an issue on console in which the game may crash on startup.

This is currently being investigated and will be fixed as soon as possible.

Guidance for PlayStation players:

1⃣ On your console, go to Settings > System > Date and Time > Set Date and Time > Set Manually.

2⃣ Change the date to March 1, 2024.

3⃣ Once this change has been done, the game should function normally.

Stop promoting fascists and alt right extremists. Don’t link to their blogs or videos. Don’t let them speak at your conferences. Don’t have them on your podcast. Don’t amplify their voices.

I've found my new favorite painting, "Witness My Act And Deed" by Frank Paton

a painting from 1882 of a small tabby kitten jubilantly kocking a bottle of ink over into the paper that looks like a legal document. there's a wooden container with several slots filled with letters and a pile of documents tied with ribbons in the background. in front of the ink carnage is a battered quill and a pair of glasses. I cannot stress enough how naughty the cat looks. it knows what it did and it's proud of it

Big news in bug math. This is the first year since 1803 when both 13-year cicadas and 17-year cicadas will emerge from the ground simultaneously in the US!

13 and 17 are both prime. It's believed cicadas evolved to have prime-number life cycles, thus avoiding predators that emerge more frequently, like once every 4 years or 5 years or... whatever. By showing up infrequently, with a prime number life cycle, cicadas can starve out those predators.

And since 13 and 17 are both prime and 13 × 17 = 221, both kinds of cicadas emerge simultaneously only once every 221 years. And

1803 + 221 = 2024

so now they'll both emerge simultaneously and we'll have 𝑙𝑜𝑡𝑠 of cicadas!

Also, this year the two kinds can interbreed! Maybe they're be fruitful and multiply... and we'll get 221-year cicadas. 😆

The last time the Northern Illinois Brood’s 17-year cycle aligned with the Great Southern Brood’s 13-year cycle, Thomas Jefferson was president.

(very important, please repost)
Hey, I'm kind of getting homeless and am in urgent need of a remote IT job by february. I can do pretty much anything that's related to low/high level, backend/frontend, web, sysadmin, devops, or any cybersecurity related task. I can also probably do more depending on what your company needs. If you know anything or anyone that is looking for someone, or if you are looking for someone yourself, please let me know by replying to this post or emailing me at cin@moon.rip

I'm terribly sorry again for the bother and thanks to anyone who has/would help and support me ..
