So, you've probably noticed I'm not as active here anymore.
It is disappointing to see the LMG drama has been forgotten about so quickly/swept under the rug.
I'm not gonna be checking the forum much anymore and I will be elsewhere though the CS prevents me from stating all the places I'll be at.
I'm on the (Unofficial) MOTF Discord so you can talk to me there if you want to.

1. I suppose there is the point I made that, while the prototype bungling was ugly in a PR sense, more expensive mistakes have been made. (I attribute the decision to quit for a week to be more about the Madison info & overblown war with GamersNexus.)
2. As for the Madison thing, when the internet mobs realize they can't have all the info they want due to legal protections, they tend to lose interest. Quickly. I would say it's unfortunate, but it's actually a good way to separate those who have an agenda from those who actually give a shit. Those who have an agenda give up when they realize there won't be any witch burnings today. Those who don't...well, they remember it and they act however they see fit.

What do you want? Should everyone just be mad for the next year or so? How does that help anyone?... wtf is wrong with people...

Tried the Blue Raspberry Prime Hydration drink today and it was alright, if quite sweet. They really overdid the sweeteners.
I guess the consolation prize is it wasn't that expensive at £2.50 (relative to what other places charged) . I've seen it sold for £8 in other stores.

The price?
I wouldn't buy it again, it was just a one off to see what it was like. Normal bottled drinks I go for are £1.20 to £1.30 if they're not scalped.

Severely imbalanced in actual sports drink, of all people i could learn this, it was MatPat. If you wanna keep the juice, check 14:20.

Looks like LMG's ordering a rather large serving of humble pie. Which is good. GN achieved it's goal with their videos.
Only time will tell if LMG is sincere about their changes being made or if this was a way to stop the metaphorical bleeding.

I have more reasons to doubt everyone in that video more than believe them.
The moment I clicked on the video, I was served two ads. Mhmm

ads are served by youtube regardless of monetization. Putting in a bunch of sponsor and lttstore.com jokes feels pretty done deaf though
What does this do then? God damn YouTube’s ad service is getting more obnoxious, especially when they allow hours long videos as ads

And yea, Yvonne… just why. And don’t give us the “read the room wrong” line again.
Edit: Seriously Nick, you actually threw a direct store reference. Just stop, all of you. Stop.

Good for Billet for clearing things up and trying to work to make things right.
They don't want the prototype back and they've explained why clearly and concisely. Let's hope LMG pays them the money they now seem to have agreed upon.

Wait so Billet sent them a 3090Ti but LMG went ahead and try to ghetto mount the thing on a 4090ti then continue to trash on it?

*4090.
But yes, that is what the block was meant for: 3090Ti. Which, good guy Billet sent LMG to help them review the monoblock prototype and LMG seems to have misplaced the GPU.
On the day of the shoot they picked up the wrong GPU and didn't notice until the GPU was stripped down completely and then decided to continue anyways.

Ah right 4090.
I'm surprised that misplaced and potentially missing GPU wasn't mentioned. That's another thousands of dollars piece of kit they lent just gone.
Also makes me question their SOPs for asset management and how they surplus items (whether disposal, auction, or store sales). In my opinion units and prototypes for review should also be tagged and tracked just like inventory they purchase themselves but flagged as such and with the agreed upon disposal method whether it's return to the vendor or LMG has free say. And also marked that those items cannot be altered or otherwise modified. When items are prepared for surplus, the warehouse team should've looked up the asset tag and made sure any special disposal instructions were adhered to.
Not saying they don't do that right now, I don't know. But if such procedures are in place, it's a major screw-up how the item either didn't get tagged, or the warehouse folks didn't check before sending it out the door. Not only is LMG's reputation among manufacturers for fair product evaluations put into question but also trust that the product will be returned in its original state is put into question. Who's to say if a review item or prototype didn't get auctioned off, it wouldn't have been cannibalized for one of LMG's projects. That's still a bad situation.
