I watched the video of the stream while it was still up on youtube and he didn't seem to be all that bothered by it. The most he said was "oh I left the camera on? whoops whatever".

He's taking it in stride. So uh... props to him for not caring, I guess? I think? Is that something to give props for?

The only good thing to have resulted from DSP's existence on YouTube has been a comparison video of his Metal Gear Rising LP and Chip's Metal Gear Rising LP that prompted people to check out the latter because they were so impressed by it.

I didnt want to check it out at first because I didnt care much for MGS

I'd think that inadvertently exposing your fans to you spanking one out is an apology kind of moment but I'm fairly sure that will never ever ever come out of his mouth.

I mean he's retweeting image edits of his o-face and welcoming his new followers to his channel (I don't know if he actually got any from the o-face thing) so he almost certainly just plain doesn't care.

This I don't think will happen though. I don't think anyone really expects him to apologize but even if people were vocal about it to him imo he wouldn't because he's a yukkin' jokester kind of dude.

Or it's just him openly admitting what the public already knew and that he is indeed a sad man? Or he could just be pretending to roll with the punches? Or it could be an intricate puppet master scheme to regain views as his videos and lifestyle have started to slump? There are literally any number of possibilities out there, but it's always nice to look on the bright side of things.

And if you are skeptical, think about it this way: A lot of people who make a living being lovely jerks on the internet would freak the motherfuck out and start threatening to sue people for posting the vid or contacting youtube to have it taken down or so on. Damage control, et cetera. You can think that he's just allowing that for publicity if you want, but we already have ample evidence from past DSP happenings that he is not a very business-intelligent man. It's hilarious that it happened, but he thinks it's hilarious too, so hey whatever.

I don't think Mega64 was being sarcastic though.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

I think at this point, he's realized that the stupid poo poo he does that makes everyone cringe draws in more viewers in disbelief, which does earn him a little more cash, so he's just riding this gravy train right to the bank.

Or am I giving him too much credit?

Psychepath

He's reiterating the "oops, oh well, it happens" stance on stream today, which is good.

But then it's worth noting that he's been 10-20 minutes late to every live stream in the past year, since moving in with his girlfriend. And you have to wonder...

It just seems like DSP's actually gained a sense of humor since this seems like the sort of thing he'd rage about a few years ago, and that's a good thing. Even if it's all some sort of calculated effort to get revenue somehow (which I doubt because we're talking about DSP after all) at least he's acting better than he used to, and that's something to be encouraged, ulterior motives or no.

I'm cautious about being too positive about this sudden personality change, he's still kicking/banning people from his chat/forums for mentioning it (as of the last time I checked). It would be nice if he realised that hey, sometimes you need to have a sense of humor about yourself, though.

My apologies!
Well, DSP has been blocking people on twitter for making jokes about him blowing it, literally and figuratively, without any of them ever messaging him directly. So while he's acting cool with it, he's apparently been searching his name and just been hitting block on everyone, me included apparently, so I doubt he's as cool with it as he's making it out to be.

But I mean hey, the idea of the entire internet aware of your presence seeing you unknowingly jerk your gerkin and never letting it down, sounds like the most embarrassing career/life ending thing you could possibly do. I guess as always: Be glad you're not DSP.

It doesn't matter whether he deserves it or not, what I mean is that if someone's insulting you then you're gonna either ignore them, retort, or block them. DSP doesn't do the whole "ignoring" thing and his retorts aren't funny so option C it is.

edit: But besides that, mocking and insulting are very different because the latter carries an intent to make him feel bad about it, and there's an equal difference between doing it in good humor and just being a jackass.

I wish I could tell you. I played a few games with him in the past and he seemed pretty cool but I haven't heard from him in over a year now. Last thing he talked to me about was asking If I could ask Lowtax to unban him.
Since then it's been like poof, he just disappeared, his channel seems to be gone and his facebook hasn't had an update since 2014 and he certainly hasn't been on steam. Hopefully he's doing well wherever he is.

The meltdowns were pretty exaggerated. After the dust settled nobody actually had a bricked card, to my knowledge.

I may be overly worrying due to traveling too much and as such doing most of my gaming on an HP 15 Notebook I use for work. It can barely play indies without hitting 90 degrees Celsius.
The fact I played all of Dark Souls 2 on it and never crashed or had it autoshutdown from the heat was apparently a miracle.

Except in the case of Starcraft 2's release or the release of something on it, where idling on the menu screen somehow was pushing people's GPU's to try and render an infinite number of FPS or some poo poo, which resulted in some dead rear end cards. I always remember that one in particular being a pretty spectacular gently caress up.

Fox stole Youtube footage of a NES game, then issued a DMCA on the video. The video is now back up:

I would assume that it got video matched automatically because they showed the video 1:1 in full screen on the show, and the youtube video therefore perfectly matches it visually. It is a very sad and ridiculous thing to have happened.

I think the content ID system taking the footage down was mainly stupidity of youtube's system - They could of enabled advertising and tried to monetise it it - I have heard newspapers/news organisations trying to do this with viral videos in the past.
