Luckily, I *did* save your old avatar. Fucked around and found out indeed.
This LP and your streaming were both great sources of comfort during this hell year so also thanks for that as well.

You're a pretty cool dude.

Finally caught up with the thread! I'm glad I ended the game in time to see at least the tail end of the LP, things will be interesting from now on
And to add to the praise train, you're a pretty cool dude Dark Id and wanting to be better than that is already enough to forgive your past errors :golfclap:

I'm really glad you're still LPing. Some of your comments at the end of the Setsuna LP kind of scared me, knowing your (former?) occupation, so seeing this LP pop-up was a huge relief.

It was your LPs what got me to join SA in the first place way back when, and while my own attempt at one sputtered and died relatively early on I tried to make it at least as quality an experience as yours have always been. You're good people, TDI. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.

Going to toss my hat in as well to say that your LPs were also among one of the reasons why I joined to begin with. And hell, to this day I still recommend them to people. From what I've seen, you seem like a genuinely good person. So uh.. Thanks for all of the entertainment over these years, and hope the next is kind to ya.

Quem Deus Vult Perdere, Prius Dementat.
There was a Red vs Blue "Point-Counterpoint" video back in the day about tattoos. What I remember best about it is that the main argument against tattoos is that they're permanent, and that you're a goddamned idiot. It's just going to take you ten years to realize what a goddamned idiot you are right now.

That always helps me keep perspective on y'know, things that go on around me and how I react to them. I am a goddamned idiot, it's just going to take me 10 years to figure out just how big of a goddamned idiot.

I was going to hold off on this until we hit ending D (there's a bit there that made me put down the controller and just cry), but this seems as good a time as any:

I've had two massive depressive episodes in my life, one about six years ago and another within the last couple of months. And I do mean severe, like I had to go to the hospital a month ago. And for whatever reason, you happened to be doing an LP of a NieR game in the middle of both of these. And it's not like the games threw me into depression, it was all outside factors (coming to terms with my queerness, exploitative and even abusive jobs, stretches of unemployment, a fairly substantial drinking problem, the list goes on. It's been a rough couple of months). In fact it was quite the opposite: I tend to bury my emotions for months at a time before something traumatic triggers an episode, and having something that lets me really engage and bring out negative feelings is a pretty great way to manage it. So yeah, you introduced my sad gay self to two of my favourite games ever, and demonstratively made my life better by LPing them. I guess what I wanted to say is, to quote the sith lord himself;

thank you for playing.

Yeah a lot of the old LPs have some cringey poo poo in them. I laughed at them at the time so I guess I was a horrible poo poo too.

That is a really good twitter post. I really enjoyed the older LPs when I was younger but re-reading them recently got pretty cringey, particularly with the Resident Evil and Billy stuff. The recent stuff from primarily Xenogears on has been excellent.

I know some goons eventually formed somethingsensitive, a truly terrible place. Did goons also create or mass-exodus over to 4chan at some point?

"Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That's just basic cause and effect. It's easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic cannot be stopped."

As I recall, 4chan was created as an offshoot of ADTRW around the time SA started implementing concrete rules of conduct, by people who didn't like the idea of having to regulate their behavior.

More specific than that, ADTRW used to, WAY back in the early 00's, be a haven for precisely the type of horrible anime nerd you think of when you think of the phrase "horrible anime nerd". Then they started prohibiting discussion of pedobait anime and banning people for posting awful poo poo like that, and people like moot and Kirtainer (an Actual Pedophile, as it turns out) founded 4chan after being run off from SA.

It's always awesome to see someone owning up to bad past behavior. Because, like you said, we've all been there. I've been reading your stuff for a while, and seen you improve as an LPer to the point that you haven't had to rely on cringey bad jokes.

So to see this post helped me think about ways I could change for the better, too - and reminded me that's nothing to be ashamed of.

You're a cool dude, Id, and I hope you remember that.
