Yeah the hoarder couple with the water damaged trailer that cost less than his gaming rig actually fixed his brain problems enough to get his kid back, which is pretty great.

The E/N comics thread, by contrast, ended with an unfinished goon project to make a fighting game featuring characters from E/N threads. The symmetry, it rhymes or something.

was this the same guy who gave up his 2 dogs for adoption because he "couldn't afford the time or money to care for them" and went on about how heartbroken he was, then it immediately turned out that he had dropped like $2k on a new gaming rig and was the #1 collector of World of Warcraft mounts in the entire world?

I'm pretty sure the guy I'm thinking of was also the one who got booted from the goon WoW guild for trying to raid in the waiting room of a hospital while his wife was in labor in the next room over

That was a different guy, the guy whose kids got taken eventually got his poo poo together. The guy who gave up his dogs is still playing wow. Someone will have probably linked his character on the armory by the time I get done typing this.

Nope, totally different guy. You're thinking of Wojtek. This guy's username was "WNxOddJob" and his home was a disgusting hoarder house, he posted pictures in the thread so we could tell him if CPS was overreacting. His first thread is here but pictures are gone (and imgur reused the url? Weird): https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3453028

tbqh the "raiding while wife is in labor" thing was pretty :laffo: but the post exposing his bullshit was really :smith:

I don't have a link but I remember the poster going on a very true rant about how much of a piece of poo poo you have to be to raise and permanently bond with 2 dogs for a good chunk of their life and then just ship them to a new owner when the inconvenience of having to tear yourself away from your monitor for a 10 minute dog walk outweighs the enjoyment of having something fuzzy to hang out and love you unconditionally

It was pretty brutal

There was some incredibly sad tidbit, about the young daughter getting up hours before her parents, preparing for school and leaving before they ever got up, and the parents only realize how much responsibility they have placed on their kid instead of themselves when she turns out "missing" because she has left for school on a Sunday and they don't even notice until like midday.

I might mix it up with another story, but was this CharlieMaul, or whatever the name of the guy who prioritized buying something incredibly frivolous like Star Wars replicas instead of basic necessities? He had a huge "father of the year award" red av.

It might not have been Star Wars collectables, but it was something comparably absurd and nerdy to spend money on. Iirc the kids weren't allowed to play with whatever it was, of course.

There was also the dad from e/n who described himself as "pretty zen" in the same thread where he shared that he burned his kid's shoes as a punishment for messily eating snacks.
