Of all the Jareds in the world (Leto, the Subway pedophile, etc.), the first one that springs to my mind is the disgraced YouTuber ProJared:

This man fucks

I didn't know of him at all before his multiple(?) scandals came out - and I haven't felt the need to find out more - but his face reminded of Noah Antwiler.

Surprising nobody, the game sucks, though IGN is deffo too lenient on the visuals. The faces look like they're from one of the dozen garbage bin 3D sex games while the rest of the visuals scream "made for VR or Switch or whatever other system that can't afford top of the line FPS shit"

Hope OboeShoes does it

The greatest use I have gotten out of Archive.org is this:

I only learned of After the Last Season because they took down TheSpoonyOne's riff of their vaguely movie-shaped object.

Luckily, people even back in the darkest days of the internet were good at keeping records, so I eventually managed to five-finger a copy.

We watched it with a room mate. We never forgot it. How could we? Even the computer crashed at one time in protest.

So I was very glad to see that someone had saved the movie + TheSpoonyOne's riff on Archive.org. We even had a rewatch fairly recently as neither my nor my room mate's girlfriends had seen it.

As you can imagine, RLM finally discovering After The Last Season was quite the moment for me.

So, in ep01, she says her parents were killed in a village on the Russian-Ukrainian border - not mortarbanned, but supposedly due to the villagers stringing them up as witches

Hoo boy

First of all, this is portraying Eastern European villagers as superstitious backwood yokels, living in log huts and meeting every stranger with pitchforks and torches

Secondly, as my gf pointed out, if the locals had believed them to be witches, they'd be swimming in cash

We Eastern Europeans, for some reason, really go for witches, mystics and other such types

The one president we impeached had a Sakartvellan seer who claimed that God told her about the future - and that she could charge TP rolls with healing energy.

People in urban areas will go to get their fates read or their ills magiced up.

This is happening concurrently to those people considering themselves good Christians.

If this was cooler, you might consider it syncretism, but there's no system behind it.

Most of these folk derive their powers from I-said-so, not some ancient pagan beliefs you could point at.

I assume a lot of this is due to USSR promoting Eastern mysticism to deny popular power to the Roman Catholic Church, but I haven't really looked into it.

So next time you're writing a book where someone is mistaken for a witch in Eastern Europe, they better end up getting paid to enchant a bog roll with impotence-healing powers.
