One of the huge topics on reddit right now is the fact that UberDanger, along with a bunch of other You­Tube content creators, are applying malicious tactics to their reddit posts in order to increase their popu­lar­ity.

Supposedly, there is a massive group on Skype of League of Legends content creators on YouTube who post links to their reddit submissions and upvote each other in order to ensure everyone in the group reaches the front page and receives maximum visibility.

Just this is enough to get all associated content creators banned from reddit, as long as the reddit mod­er­ators and administrators are able to verify that it actually happened.

Unfortunately, the validity and severity of this is being diminished by people who are going for more – not just removing immoral content creators from reddit, but also trying to ruin their lives.

An example of this is UberDanger.

UberDanger posted a vlog on YouTube stating that he did, in fact, participate in these unethical practices on reddit in the past. This should be sufficient evidence to ban UberDanger’s content from reddit and move on, never seeing him again.

But people keep bringing up the fact that there is a rumor going around claiming he performed statutory rape on a fifteen-year-old girl in the United States when he visited Boston to attend PAX East.

The validity of the rumor is unproven, as the girl in question has not personally come forward claiming it happened (as far as I’m aware). Thus, there is absolutely no reason to bring a random rumor into a dis­cus­sion regarding a more serious topic about vote manipulation.

Those who keep mentioning the statutory rape accusations are only hurting their own case. It’s common for people to attack the individual if they feel as if their argument in the original debate is lacking.

The argument (UberDanger and his content should be banned from reddit) in the original debate (YouTube content creators, including UberDanger, are abusing reddit and breaking its terms of service) is not lacking.

So stop taking this too far, and keep UberDanger’s personal life out of it.

If he did in fact commit statutory rape, that’s a job for his local justice system, not a job for the “reddit detectives.”

I was playing a bot game earlier today with Ed, and managed to get full sized on Cho’Gath.

When I was sitting outside the enemy team’s fountain, I noticed something strange about the range indi­ca­tor on the turrets and fountain laser.

I’m guessing that my character’s size is somehow factored into the range indi­ca­tor, which is why I’m able to stand inside the circle but not get shot by any defensive structures?

This obviously makes no difference for me because I already know the range of the turrets, but this will probably be confusing for some new players who are still trying to learn the game.

Apparently Riot thought I was a good example of positive behavior, and included me in the list of people receiving free mystery gifts.

When I got the notification, I realized that something very ironic had happened.

Over a year ago, I wrote a blog post regarding why I didn’t like Haunted Zyra, which was the new Harrow­ing skin at the time. To summarize, I disliked it because I didn’t feel like it resemble Zyra’s personality very well. To me, Zyra’s physical appearance should be that of an innocent plant, luring her opponents, then turning into a vicious killing monster when they approach.

Haunted Zyra, as well as Wildfire Zyra, don’t have that innocent look to them. Instead, they seem rather violent in appearance. That’s why I chose not to purchase either of those skins, and instead, stick with the default skin.

In my opinion, a skin like Death Blossom Zyra would be more fitting for her (if you’re curious about what it would look like, Elise currently has a Death Blossom skin).

So, back to the free mystery gift … this is what I got.

“You don’t want to buy this skin because you don’t like it? Well, we’ll force you to own it instead, then!” —Rito Gaemz

Although I don’t like the particular skin that I received, I’m still thankful that I was one of the people who even received a skin at all, and I’m grateful that Riot is rewarding positive behavior in the community.

Since yesterday, I’ve been having prob­lems trying to open League of Legends. Assuming it was just a problem with Riot’s servers (because we know there’s plenty of those, such as the ones that affected my stream two days ago and I taught everyone how to Attempt to Reconnect), I just ignored it.

When I tried again today, the problem was still there, so I started digging around.

I went to my League of Legends folder to look at some logs, and found the following lines inside one of my patcher logs:

ERROR| RemotingClient: Failed to resolve host:port 'localhost:2997' to an ipv4 address.
       getaddrinfo returned: 11001
ERROR| Riot::Client::BrowserProcess::Init: Unable to connect to app process.

To fix that, I updated my hosts file to allow it to associate an IPv4 address with localhost.

To do that, navigate to:

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc

Open the hosts file. I recommend doing so with something like Notepad.exe, but any plain-text editor will work.

Add the following line of text to your hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost

If there are any other lines that contain localhost after a space, remove it (for example, if your file contains “::1 localhost,” remove that line).

That fixed the problem for me, and my launcher started working again. Unfortunately, if that doesn’t work for you, I don’t have any other suggestions, because I stopped researching once I found a solution that worked for me.

We still won … so that’s all that matters, right?
