What is weird about it? A page ago a couple people literally just said "I don't care if Pat lied to Woolie because they aren't my friends and it's creepy if you care when did this turn into the giantbomb thread". Speculating on someone's health/their father's health is a lot more creepy than "Pat lied to Woolie". and I don't agree with saying "every single one of us here knew he had poo poo going on at that point in time" because someone would've already said it. I was just trying to make a point that people get freaked out whenever you try and talk about them as people because it's "creepy", but making GBS threads on them is okay.

Because people are either terrible at feelings or at writing and they always make it sound like it was a terrible sleight, that it happened all the time (it happened once and dude immediately spilled the beans, ffs), that it ruined the LP and ironically it leads to the making GBS threads you so despise. Also, it's from the same LP where someone thought abusing an AI quirk was a terrible thing to do, so ugh

But as I said, gently caress it.

No, you're thinking too big. He doesn't need it to get up to his toilet, he kicks his feet up on it like he's a CEO and it's a desk.

Just a cage of bones, there's nothing inside.
It's more like his legs might not be reaching the floor completely, it's natural to lean forward when you #2 and that's much more difficult to do comfortably if you can't plant your feet firmly on the ground.

Maybe it's not needed, it's just for comfort. You can relax, rest your get and enjoy the experience.

I'm sorry if I seems I'm lashing out. I've been away from here for a while now (been so busy with alot of things) and the first thing I see when I come back is a fair amount of you making GBS threads on me. I try to do my very best in every LP, and be positive, and be a source of energy. But when people bring up the nuzlocke, there was ALOT of stuff going behind the scenes that are kinda sensitive issues for me. If I could do it all over again, and better, I would, BELIEVE ME.
Matt, you need to ignore people making GBS threads on you like that and don't take it to heart. Of course people are going to be critical if you seem like a bummer in videos, but that's also because they don't know what's going on behind the scenes, like you explained. Nor should they, in many cases, but explaining why like you're doing is good. I've not watched the Nuzlocke stuff, but taking internet criticism to heart can be real detrimental to your mental state. It's fine when it's worded well and not antagonistic, but most of the time, well, it's insensitive if not outright hostile. You should have seen some of the poo poo people said about Patrick Klepek in the Giant Bomb thread(or any youtube video he's in, even). I'd rather you not get driven away from the thread since you're a cool dude, so hopefully you'll be able to ignore the more grating complaints.

Also, the thread has been largely positive outside of the ever-lingering dark souls people complaining about the bloodborne run

I've loved most of the content you've been putting out, and the Super Fighter video was outstanding. Don't worry about it, man. People on the internet are going to complain about anything.

PS: play Duck Game. Do it

PPS: I sent you a message through the PM system here a while back, probably right after your hiatus from the thread, if it's still there hopefully you'll have some time to read it. :)

You're supposed to poop with your knees high up cuz of how your butthole is made, so having something to lift your feet up eases out the sludge. It simulates squatting without squatting lol

Wasn't it that he just makes his bed (and I think folds the blanket under the mattress to make it tight )and gets in through the top so he doesn't have to make his bed in the morning?

First of all, nobody literally said any of what you just said. Secondly, nobody really cares about whether or not Pat has played ahead or not because it has no bearing on literally anything other than the dynamic of a goddamn let's play. Do you really need someone to explain to you why pissing and moaning about something as inconsequential as that has a little less merit than simply considering the possibility that a person who seems a little down has some personal poo poo going on?

Also, the Ebrietas fight is the poo poo.

I love Pokemon but it's a terrible LP game. The only people who do it well are like, the tiny amount of people who are both pokemon superfans and super into it in a fun and not weirdo way. Also they handle grinding off camera and that jazz. I thought the one you guys did had a lot of solid moments in it but yea, I can't really blame any of you for getting tired of watching a guy grind his pokemon (very carefully thanks to challenge rules) for hours on end.

I'm an Art Student, and one of the first things we need to learn is that you need to remember that people are critiquing the work and not necessarily you as a person. People are not making GBS threads on you as a person but instead are critiquing the version of you in the video. So when you read comments that are making GBS threads on you or talking about you on video remember that they don't necessarily know what went on behind the work and at the end the day they still care about you as a person enough to give a poo poo about the quality of your work.

I know it's a little different to compare an LP to a painting or another art project, but when people make comments to me like: you should have gone farther with this, or it doesn't look like you put as much time into it as you should have, You have to try to not take it personally.

Sorry if that didn't make much sense, I'm not that eloquent of a writer and I'm feeling kind of sick today. Just try to have a thick skin about it and realize that most people don't realize what goes into the work.

It might be worth asking in the Giant Bomb thread(I know, I know) for snippets of Jeff Gerstmann's Jar Time segments where he talks about how he deals with the job, the criticism, etc as well as balancing life issues. Like, his dad just passed away recently after struggling with a long illness, and he talked a little bit about how he dealt with that while trying to keep his chin up on camera. It was really interesting to listen to. I only suggest this because you guys and Giant Bomb are really similar in principle, and Jeff's probably one of the most knowledgeable and wisest dudes in the entire industry, weird quirks be damned. I know he's discussed some of his ways for dealing with feeling down but needing to be on camera before, which could help in the future for you.

Not saying this to be insensitive or prying, but I know all too well how loving abysmally lovely having to do your job while you're in the mourning process or worried about a very sick family member is.
