I mean a big part of it is that he's digging his heels in so deep and constantly replying to people over a story that's clearly made up/exaggerated rather than just recognizing that he should stop posting for the day. That's the thing that's made him the Main Character for the day.

Poor Miserable Gurgi posted:He didn't teach her any way to do it, though. Also, it's just hilarious to me that after the smugness of the original thread and all his responses, it turns out he'd never heard of one of the only two functions of the thing.

it was probably a lot of going back to their room and then coming back out when they wanted to eat again but i absolutely believe a gen x dad would spend 6 hours straight solving a jigsaw puzzle. especially if it's got a lot of pieces i would be a bad parent because the kid would say "ow help i think my ankle's broken" and i'd say "OK, put some ice on it, i gotta keep managing these supply chains in graveyard keeper until I finish setting up the zombie automation. if i stop moving the whole economy falls apart" luckily for the world my steam backlog is my children The 7th Guest fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Jan 3, 2021 |

My parents just left me outside when I didn't want to pull weeds. Made a camp in the backyard and everything to prove that I was in it for the long haul.

Excited for the possibility of a new intro/outro to MBMBAM ngl If you have a podcast and you use the same intro and outro track(s) on each episode, those tracks can be no longer than however long the Giant Bomb intro/outro is. That's the law. Or be like Uhh Yeah Dude and use different music on each ep.

Endorph posted:why not? hes presenting it like it happened, hes defending it like it happened, and allowing for some slight exaggeration its not dissimilar to real stuff that people do to their kids at that age. plenty of people had parents who made every 'learning experience' a weird trial they had to overcome. why not allow for the idea that it basically happened?

I find the thing where someone has clearly searched someone's username + every curse word really tedious. I mean I get it, but I can't get the image of someone sat at home desperate to cancel someone out of my head. I hate Twitter for many different reasons is what I guess I'm saying

I always wonder what the behind the scene conversation are like when stupid poo poo like this blows up. Do your co hosts bring it up? Like how many times are the brothers eye rolling at Travis everytime he gets in a twitter spat and say something to him. Griffin is the only one good at Twitter by not playing

inferis posted:What John will refuse to inform people of is that his stories are all some level of self mythology and his relationship to truth is less important to him than the emotional weight of the stories he tells. So it’s very funny to see people unfamiliar with his work seeing it for the first time. Wasabi the J posted:Kid doesn't have any reason to know why they're suddenly being denied food, and their caretaker is changing their routine. Also problem solving gets harder when you're hungry. I think the kid is in some kind of shared custody arrangement anyway, so the most likely outcome without this tweetstorm is his daughter telling her mom how much of a dipshit dad was today.
