Now I have spear envy :catstare:

I’d suggest you buy one. In the great America it’s only 16 squirrel pelts and a fox paw.

I stay up late at night polishing it too because an investment like this has to be protected. Also I love your sales jpeg! It makes me want to buy another! :)

It's part of the Star Citizen culture drama. Now he's going to get to explain - on the record - where all that poo poo came from.

Nothing angered and disgusted me more than the fact that he used the sad death of someone, to promote and further his attacks.

Then he posts this poo poo to me on Twitter, while STILL making a pointless and unrelated jab.

https://twitter.com/montoya_test/status/947581114641780737

Which is why someone called him out on it.

I'm not even going to respond to him any more. And God I hope, like all the poo poo those guys spread, they really - truly - believe that I'm bluffing.


I loving LOVE this poo poo.

That cock sucker calls me out for "making drama videos for the views" when I don't post my videos outside of my channel, but all he does now is pick up topics and issues that are controversial with Star Citizen and flap his cum dumpster about them while literally ignoring any facts that detract from CIG and his "Everything is going to be so great!" arguments.

Montoya is loving adorable, I cannot get over him trying to call me out for "trying to get views" when he's literally on Twitter and Reddit nonstop trying to push his bullshit.

You must not be an American then. It’s basically what we do daily here. The longer the pole the better the fish. The firmer the rod the easier it is to stick it into the soft, succulent flesh of our undersea fish friends.

it isn't offensive because I don't think my channel is a serious thing at all. It started off as just something for me to do and it's still just something to do. I make a video when I feel like making a video, I stream to BS with people while I'm playing. If I wanted to push my channel as something that mattered, I would have run the channel completely different. I've said from the very beginning that it's just something I do for the fun of it.

Montoya got his panties twisted up because when I was still all in for Star Citizen I was starting to pull the same views he was, I was also in TEST, and I was neutral/critical of CIG and the game itself. Before I even left TEST or dropped Star Citizen he started talking poo poo because his little insecure self couldn't handle it, so it's funny as gently caress to see him doing all the things he tried accusing me of doing.

gently caress yes it is! When I was stationed in Oahu all I did every day was go out diving. I'd usually start off with the gun strapped to the buoy and then once I got frustrated enough with failing I'd swap out the polespear for the gun. Eventually I got my breathe holds up enough that I could properly stalk with a pole, and it's definitely a huge feeling of accomplishment once you get to a point where you can rock that over a gun. God I miss spearing so much.

Ugh, I had a really stupid nice blue water gun I never got to use :( I knew some people who had a boat but schedules just never lined up. It would have been both terrifying and incredible to go out for MahiMahi or Wahoo. Every couple years I dream up the idea to charter down a Gulf trip to go after Tuna but with the kids it's just too hard to have a vacation like that.

I've gone out blue water shooting a couple times, and it's fun but I honestly prefer shooting on a reef or a wreck. I haven't done blue water work enough for it to not be really stressful haha.

Every now and then I like taking the pole spear out under a causeway or whatever but like I said more often than not I look at it and go "yeah but why"

Yeah trying to roll the dice on a one day trip is pretty hard to do with any kind of real travel and obligation to keep the family entertained involved. The California channel islands can be nice for that kind of venture but the odds of getting skunked after a day of no vis paddling around in heavy point currents are pretty high.

Alas.

I really don't know much about blue water hunting, I personally prefer to haunt kelp forests or the occasional structure.

Yeah I would no doubt have full blown anxiety the entire time. That was the one nice thing about shore diving is you could (most of the time) still see the bottom and your surroundings down to 100~ft depending on the weather. I really don't know how I'd handle looking down and just seeing blue fade to black, one of my first months spearing in Hawaii I was heading back to shore after my buddies got tired and went in ahead of me as the sun was going down and the current started churning up the sand, ended up swimming right up to a 7~ ft shark. One of the guys we were diving with ran into it first (which I didn't know until we got up on shore) and he had to pay the fish tax to it. I was absolutely mortified because I was alone, visibility was about 12 feet, and all I saw was a giant loving torso and tail fin.

I power kicked facing backwards like a loving Olympic swimmer for the next 200 meters until I was convinced the reef was to shallow for it to be following me, not that I would have seen it, but somehow looking backwards made me feel like I'd at least see it coming and maybe have a chance to scare it off or defend myself.

gently caress the deep.

I'm absolutely terrified of Kelp Forests, I don't know how you guys dive that poo poo (because all I think of is Great Whites with those). I had the exact same experiences but in Hawaii it's loving sea turtles. They come out of no where to check you out and if you don't notice them first it's a total heart attack.



Hammerhead 120cm next to my virgin blue water gun that never got fired. :(



Darryl Wong hybrid, it was pretty overkill for shore diving, but that gun was seriously a loving laser pointer. Of all the guns I've owned in my life, nothing ever came close




And this is why I ended up shelving my dive bag, all you can legally spear where I live now are loving carp. That and the fresh water lake diving is miserable after crystal blue ocean.


Anyhow, sorry thread, I'll go back to lurking, sorry for the derailing.

It took me months of thread lurking before it finally dawned on me that Mirificus really was just randomly screenshotting reddit and dumping them in the thread. When he posts a bunch of useless poo poo 10 minutes apart I thought there was some hidden laughs to be had that I was too dense to parse, and there was some comedy to be uncovered in what different citizens had said at different points in their thread.
