Voglio darmi da fare, anche se a livello basso, a livello locale.
Voglio smuovere questo paese ed i miei coetanei.

Fellow pirates and LoR enjoyers, myself and others in the community have come together for a project to breathe some life back into the game. The project follows a new format for the game. The goal is to run this format in both Eternal and grassroots events, more info below!
Iniziato corso breve di koreano (30 ore in 1 mese) convenzionato con l'università.
Altra lingua che voglio aggiungere al mio bagaglio, il cinese arriverà a settembre...

Cari amici,
Quelle che vedrete nei prossimi numeri saranno le ultime storie che ho scritto per Topolino.
Qualche settimana fa, infatti, il Direttore ha terminato la mia collaborazione, dopo 23 anni e circa trecento storie, tra brevi, lunghe e altro.

A C*NTENT CREATOR'S TAKE ON ALL THE COSTREAMING DRAMA:
It is crazy for people to shift blame to costreamers and creators, when the core problem is way deeper
Costreaming is the byproduct of people WANTING to watch LEC/LCK/LCS, quite literally any esports
But the main product is just not good enough for them to actually spend their time on watching it
The main reason for that? Lack of personality, lack of story and lack of genuine "entertainment"
Los Ratones was an amazing example of what GOOD personality, AMAZING story and GENUINE entertainment can bring to the table
I had never watched 3 weeks of LEC in a row since 2019 before LR came to the scene, I was quite literally sitting on my couch watching LEC like I'm a 40-year-old dad watching my favorite local football team
And the same happened to my friends, who had NEVER previously watched ANY League esports matches
And I can 100% say, the same happened when KC and Mkoi first got into LEC in their respected fanbases
What do these 3 have in common?
Personality, a good story and genuine entertainment
But you can't keep the hype up forever
The product of "League esports" has fundamental problems, that cannot be fixed overtime without doing anything
You CANNOT manufacture stories, they need to be created by the players/owners themselves
Riot (and other esports orgs) can only ENHANCE them
I've seen multiple esports orgs try to dip their toes into genuine content creation, which I do find amazing because sometimes the ideas are fun and can only be made with the budget they have
But seeing videos with 500k views about "fun guessing games" content and then seeing videos with LITERALLY LESS THAN 100 VIEWS ABOUT THEIR TEAM OR PLAYERS (yes 1-0-0) IS DIABOLICAL
Because the teams ARE NOT able to utilize these numbers at all because the CONTENT isn't coming from the players themselves, it is coming from the TEAMS trying to set the content up and VIEWERS playing along the videos
There are very few players streaming/creating content, being a personality or be entertaining outside of them going to the LEC arena and playing League
Just compare it to Cloud 9/TSM/Fnatic players back in the day
I would follow people people cus they GENUINELY WERE PASSIONATE about not just being good at the game but also being entertaining
(obviously League itself was in a different state as well but you get the point)
The cultural impact that Los Ratones had for western League esports was quite literally 3x of all LCS teams combined in the last 3 years
Fuck man, Baus could watch paint dry for 1-hour and it would have more cultural impact than LCS finals
Little bit of a side note but teams having content creators for the team making content, "can" be a valid strategy the nullify the void of "the team not being entertaining enough"
Good strategy in theory, but getting random content creator with high views doesn't do anything, the creator HAS TO BE GENUINELY included in the team, emotionally and thematically
Good examples of successful ones are Tarik for Sentinels and KeshaEUW for G2
But that's a whole other story on how esports teams cooked that one
So what can be done about it?
The core problem is that product of League esports currently is boring, lacks passion and entertainment
And it has a lot to do with fr*nchising because it enables the teams/owners/players to basically... do nothing
Obviously, everyone is still trying their hardest to win, keep the content going and all that... but it's not enough
You already made it, so even the most passionate player/owner/team cannot keep their PEAK passion forever
You are still getting paid, you are still able to compete and you are still able to even win your region's league
So why bother doing anything else?
And that's where you lose the audience
And you cannot blame any owner/player for that, it is just how franchising works
And I know the OWNERS WOULD HATE if Riot got rid of the franchising, after all, they invested 10+ millions to be part of it
But I also assume they do not like their investment being valued less than a shawarma + coke
PEOPLE WANT STORIES
LET PEOPLE HAVE STORIES
I would honestly love to see just some 5 unknown EXTREMELY PASSIONATE Bosnian guys destroy Tier 1 teams for a season
Quite literally would be there every day watching that if they would be winning
People love underdog stories, and that is something not possible with no gateway to actually play and prove yourself
That is how you create new fanbases, new stories and new banger entertainment... organically
With PASSION from the players who want to prove themselves
Not just in the game, but outside of it as well
PASSION IS THE KEY
but the lock is missing

Ci sono grandi possibilità che potrei fare 6/12 mesi anno prossimo a Waseda Daigaku (Tokyo) come studente in mobilità internazionale. Non vedo l'ora di immergermi ancora di più e seguire corsi universitari a cui non ho accesso qua in Italia, e magari anche pensare alla tesi...

Credere nel diritto internazionale non può essere a giorni alterni. Questa è una aggressione oggettivamente illegale, pur contro un regime brutale e sanguinario. Ma non possiamo ergerci a giudici come singoli, serve un'autorizzazione globale per fare ste cose.

Nel nostro discorso pubblico c’è una corrente pretesamente realista—penso a Caracciolo, Barbero, Cacciari e altri—che non perde occasione per dire che l’Europa è disunita, impotente e incapace di farsi rispettare.
Queste stesse persone si oppongono all’idea che l’Italia faccia squadra coi partner europei e investa nella sicurezza collettiva europea.
Cioè un’Europa disunita e impotente non è solo un piano descrittivo ma soprattutto normativo: è l’Europa che vogliono.
Perciò attenzione a non farvi intortare dalla retorica per cui questo è il mondo e così deve andare (fallacia di Hume).
Vendono un mondo irrimediabilmente brutale e anarchico. Essenzialmente dicono che non c’è nulla da fare affinché nessuno si scomodi nella lotta per difendere l’Europa che abbiamo—quella del diritto, liberal-social-democratica.
E non stupisce che questi stessi personaggi siano molto meno loquaci nel proporre alcunché di positivo—non vogliono più armi: benissimo, ma che farebbero per resistere agli attacchi continui di Putin (e ora Trump) all’integrità e sicurezza dell’UE? “Macché, ma quali attacchi?” “Non c’è nulla da guardare: circolare!”
Anestetizzandovi con un questo realismo immobilista lascerebbero scivolare l’Europa verso il precipizio in cui vorrebbero vederla cadere.
What happened today was another violation of International Law, perpetrated by the hegemon that should have upheld it in the First Place.
It's another step towards the voiding of all rules in the International Arena and another step towards a generalized state of war and fear.

Ogni volta che si parla di guerra in modo indistinto si compie un errore storico e morale. Gli ucraini che resistono ai Russi invasori non hanno nulla di volgare, al contrario ci insegnano l'amore per la libertà nello stesso identico modo in cui lo hanno insegnato i partigiani sulle montagne o i ragazzi americani e inglesi sulle spiagge della Normandia.
Il discorso di #Benigni è di una banalità sconcertante. Nulla è più grande, eroico e generoso che rischiare la propria vita per la libertà di un popolo.
Il fatto che non riusciamo più a riconoscere questa grandezza è sintomo di una malattia dell'anima che ci rende piccoli, meschini ed egoisti rispetto all'idea stessa di libertà.
"Ma come si fa a parlare di guerra ancora oggi, le armi dovrebbero essere messe in un museo. Vogliono umanizzare la guerra la guerra non va umanizzata va abolita, la guerra non è una cosa malvagia è una volgarità immensa, le persone che la fanno sono volgari. Il mondo dovrebbe ripudiare la guerra per sempre". Queste le parole di Roberto Benigni ospite di Fabio Fazio a 'Che tempo che fa' sul Nove.

Chissà se di questa cosa ne parleranno il Fatto Quotidiano e i vari programmi di La7.
🔴 Il noto giornalista @christogrozev ha mostrato un documento dello spionaggio russo prodotto in un processo in Austria dove si legge: “l’Italia è di fatto pro-russa e il controspionaggio quasi non esiste” “concede visti con pochi controlli quindi sono raccomandate le richieste”
I swear Riot brainwashed everyone into thinking LoR never existed.
90% of RB related posts are from massive LoL creators that never touched LoR and seem just waiting in line mega-hyped for a Riot Card Game.
I have no clue if they got access to MiB tech...
Nulla come trovarsi a procrastinare il completamento della tesi nonostante hai letto 6 monografie, 10 articoli e hai gia la scaletta delle ultime sezioni pronta da settimane. Ma se non la finisci negli ultimi 2 giorni dando il 140% non c'è gusto, vero?
Consegnata.

You may like Mario Draghi or not, but his speech yesterday in Rimidi is quite sensible: Europe has been thinking that its internal market was a source of geopolitical influence until it was not. Europe was imposed Russia's invasion of Ukraine, China's hacks and information operations and, more recently US tariffs and defense spending increases.
The strong do what they will, the weak suffer what they must.
Three considerations:
1) We have raised generations of individuals thinking that political institutions -- like free trade, international law or multilateralism -- are facts. As a result, a good part of the EU population and its leadership, at the national and EU level, cannot think to question these issues. Here we are: somebody did it for us.
2) Who raised these generations? Scholars and researchers who have spent the past 3-4 decades telling us about Normative Power Europe, the power of norms, the inevitability of multilateralism until, well, Russian tanks or US tariffs did not really care. A rethinking of Europe's academic thinking (pun intended) is warranted.
3) Europe has a HUGE political problem, it has conflated its identify with its instruments, internal market, conditionality and multilateralism. Now that those instruments are not effective, Europe does not have an identify, and thus does not even know clearly what to do or where to go. This means, the answer, cannot easily be "a United States of Europe", because nobody knows what this USE would do. A practical example: Gaza. Should Europe side with Israel, because of the shared cultural background and the fight against terrorism, or should it side with the Palestianians, because of its attachment to the UN charter and international law. Power matters, strategies bridge power and goals, but goals are informed by identify.

Dai, ecco che parte un nuovo round di Euro bashing (sempre dai soliti che, per puro caso, riecheggiano sempre i talking points del Cremlino). La verità è che, date le premesse, l’accordo commerciale, raggiunto da @EU_Commission e @vonderleyen, è il migliore possibile.

Vorrei chiarire. Non sopporto che ci sia chi critica la Festa del 2 Giugno con la sfilata militare, dato che avviene da 79 anni e semmai è uno dei pochissimi momenti dove si riconosce e ringrazia l'EI dato che il paese sembra a momenti odiarlo e preferire che non esista.
