I was about to ask how the gently caress anyone plays Daggerfall in 2016-17. I tried playing it again about 10 years ago and it was awful. Everything is a flat pixelated smudge.

The guy is a platinum level autist who has spent thousands of hours playing Bubsy. That it's not Daggerfall is somewhat of a surprise considering how completely up his alley walking for 70 hours across a randomly generated wilderness would be.

This remaster aside, I played Daggerfall so much back in the day that I can go back whenever, but I don't know what it'd be like for a new player trying to get into it.

i checked the forums the source of the shmorkydrama quotes

the main forum ("lolcows") comprise 100-pages long threads dedicated to writing unauthorised biographies of specific people on the internet

the second main forum is dedicated to CWC

the third main forum ("rat kings") is threads dedicated to LGBT people who supposedly "use their LGBT position as unfair grounds of" loving whatever. somehow, they do not think Milo Y is one of those people

i ain't either but someone posted this in that thread

I haven't been active on the forums in around half a decade, because it stopped being fun for me to post there. People would try to one up each other with the typical "hey I'm trying to annoy you but TECHNICALLY I'm not breaking the rules so what are you gonna do" poo poo that kids do during long car rides ("I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU! I'M NOT TOUCHING YOU!" as they wave their hands in front of their older sister's face), and it was just a weird vibe overall for me there, so I moved to doing backend poo poo and mostly spending time with my family. I've got three kids, including a 5 month old, and my mom has been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of Leukemia that requires experimental treatment offered by only one hospital in the world, so I've been honestly busy with a lot of real life poo poo.

I'm so confused..."CWC"? "Kiwifarms"? I thought the only forum with an unhealthy fixation with this dead gay forum (I love my dead gay forum) was something sensitive.

"Founded as the CWCki Forums, and originally dedicated to Christian Weston Chandler, the Kiwi Farms is about eccentrics on the Internet."

oh. um. I don't know whether I'm more sad for the autist or the people who made an entire forum because of him apparently?
I do know I'm glad I hadn't heard of any of this until 2017, clearly I'm in the right social circles

I mean Chris-Chan was a pretty hilarious thing to find back in like 2010 and I'll admit to laughing at his videos and stuff where he shows off how he'd make out with a girl using an anime sex doll and where he gets yelled at by his dad on camera for giving out their info. Hell then he pepper sprayed a dude because he's angry about Sonic.

The problem is people got terrifyingly obsessed with it to the point where they are waaaaaaay more insane/creepy than he is. I'm pretty sure Chris-Chan hasn't even done anything in like 3 years,

ChrisChan is the guy who really likes Sonic and hasn't actually done anything horrible right? If so, then Jesus gently caress why are internet retards tormenting him?

When people first found him he was like, hyper homophobic and had really really bad issues with women but all that poo poo was done to him being raised by awful people and having a legit mental illness. He was more funny because of his insane comic.

Really he has done hosed up poo poo, the afermentioned pepper spraying thing and a time where he went to a game store he was banned from and almost ran over the owner he hated. The problem is that he's been tormented by people for so loving long that even then I give him a slight break because holy poo poo, if I was being systematically humilated for close to a loving decade I'd have major issues too

It's not just that they're tormenting him, it's that it's gone on for so long. It was played out enough to be bannable here when I joined nearly a decade ago, and these idiots now have multiple websites dedicated to him.

Oh you mean that autistic guy who had like a made up Sonic character and did something weird at a Gamestop or something? I have a really vague memory of reading about him for like five minutes nearly a decade ago. You're telling me there are hundreds of people on the internet still obsessively following him and deriving entertainment from him? What's so fascinating about an autistic guy? Doesn't the internet have a multitude of "Chris-chans" at this point? Like just go to the r/relationships thread and you've got plenty of beeb boop/insane people.

Oh yeah, nevermind:

In one of the episodes of the new Sonic cartoon, there's an obsessive fan who kidnaps Sonic and friends Misery-style and keeps them looked in his room. Among other things he shows them his fanart of Sonic with flesh-coloured arms.

And without those insane people on a forum dedicated to an even more insane people this would probably never happen.

The kiwifarms people have an entire subforum dedicated to harassing LGBTQ people with the justification that they deserve it because they use it for personal gain, so I doubt they really have any ground to be judging him on that.

It's interesting to see antisemitism directed at other groups using the exact same justifications, tactics, and even language.

It's the 4chan morons (and borderline sociopaths) that never found the line between Real Life and Internet and are unaware they've been doing it for a loving DECADE now.

I never got it, yeah its kinda worth a chuckle when you see the Sonic medallion but the dude is clearly severely autistic and the trolls reek of elementary school children who pick on the weird kid by making him eat dirt and stuff.
