I played a bit of Fallout 4 this morning, it's a G2F4, no doubt in my mind. "F4" is especially fitting given the title, haha!

"F4" for "That's what you press plus Alt when playing Fallout 4," heyo.

(I don't have strong opinions about Fallout 4 either way.)

I don't like him because several several years back we used to be friends and then he kept shoving some old d&d RP stuff he dug up on me on the internet in my face even though he knew it made me feel uncomfortable and he kept telling me it was my fault for being offended and that he was doing me a favor by showing me how stupid I was as a kid for doing it.


I've seen his content, he is perfectly capable of making good content, I just don't like him as a person because of what he did to me and his bullshit reasoning for it. It hurt a lot and I don't believe there's any way I can forgive him for it because my entire life is already filled with enough poo poo that I didn't appreciate someone I considered a good friend purposefully going out of their way to be an rear end in a top hat supposedly for my own good.

When someone tells you they're doing something to you for your own good, that's a big warning sign that means they're a jerk.

hbomber is good because he makes videos about how poo poo racist YouTubers are instead of making vids that just go "Yeah but COMEDY" or blaming newspapers or whatever.

A long running gag when he first started out was that he was secretly a Nazi. He's taken those videos down at this point, but all of his callout poo poo rings hollow because of that.

It's low-risk in a game that is built around punishing you severely if you make a mistake. The later games in the series do a much better job of supporting non-shield based builds (which is especially and trivially true of Bloodborne), and once you've played the series a bit you get used to the mechanics and can play around with a lot more options, but if someone was starting the series with Dark Souls 1 today I'd still advise them to find a good shield ASAP.

E: gently caress that sounds poo poo FAK.

Which is literally what Hbomber says in his video...

I didn't see those but is that really something you should hold against him if he took them down. I mean I said a lot of poo poo when I was 16 that are things I call people out for saying now, that's just growing up. For example I, and pretty much everyone my age, used "gay" and "bad" interchangeably, with zero sense of irony, and would think anyone who called this behavior homophobic was a dumbass. Now that's something that I find pretty lovely and would never do myself.

I wonder if hipsters were in vogue at the start of this game's development, because leaning so heavy into the hipster stuff for your main cast in 2017 (or whenever this game is going to be released) feels very weird and dated.

Well, looks like that video was posted in April of last year, so assuming it was in development for some time before that I'd assume they started dead in the middle of that poo poo being a thing.

What did Khad do?

Nov 8, 2009
:( I didn't want Khad to get banned.


I forget what even happened that resulted in his banning. I just know he was really depressed when we'd play minecraft and someone else on the server we were on kept trying to nuke his house because he wasn't privy to what everyone was doing in the server at the time and so they kept getting mad at him. I remember being in a skype call where a guy was bragging about how after they'd run Khad off to another section of the map, he had made a nuke block and set it up near some ores under Khad's house so that Khad would nuke everything. It was a dick move and I ended up secretly moving the nuke to this guy's house instead so that when he opened his door, he'd set off the nuke (and...well, blow up a lot of the other server's main content in the process unfortunately, that was pretty assholeish of me since it destroyed a bunch of stuff some others had been working on as well) and then the server map got rolled back to before the nuke and the nukes got disabled.



I'm really fuzzy on the khad banning stuff, what did I do again because I remember being partially involved in that.

A guy who hosted a minecraft server me and a friend played on sort of vanished from his server, which then went offline. We only found out months later that he had died of a heart attack at quite a young age.

That's one of the main things I associate with minecraft now, unfortunately.

Losing gaming friends / internet friends is always a terrible thing, since a lot of the times you just never know. They just sign off one day and... That's it. :( We've all had friends just leave. Most of the time we hope they just got really into real life, but...
I'm glad you got closure at least lurdiak.

Sometimes you get pleasant surprises, but it doesn't make up for the worrying. One of my good real life buddies was convinced a friend of his committed suicide because the last time they talked he was talking about taking his own life a lot and vanished from the net for like 3 years, then poof, one day he just logs on and is like "Oh I forgot about this account".

I don't deal well with finality and the loss of friendships in general, so losing online friends, even just due to drifting apart, rubs me the wrong way. When they might've died or actually did die, it really messes me up. I lost two good online friends last year, as well as my grandfather, so it was pretty rough for me. I know that as I get older, losing people in my life is just going to become something I have to deal with, but I just can't seem to accept it.

Sorry to drag this out but I wanted to clarify this. It wasn't that I was playing d&d, it was that I'd been more or less using that d&d character as my online persona for years when I was younger because it was a form of escapism for me since anyone who talks to me will eventually find out one of the dozens of horrifying/hilarious "kite's mom is a terrible, terrible person" stories and I'd try to get away however I could, and I wasn't proud that I'd built up this dumb internet persona around escapism and avoiding dealing with the abusive situation I was in, so I didn't appreciate when he'd find and take that old D&D bio stuff and shove it in my face and talk about how he's trying to make me into a better person by trying to rub my nose in it, even after I'd asked him to stop and explained why it bothered me.

Ok now I'll stop, sorry grapplejack
