I still think the videos making fun of objective messes like a 15fps video of a guy constantly stating, cursing, and inserting random fart and siren sounds into Mario 3 are funny, but yeah its time went and even chip strayed into just mocking people with disabilities on multiple occasions (granted they deleted those).

anyway the funniest slowbeef content is his increasingly desperate attempts to get the internet to realize he still does stuff with diabetus all the time while constantly getting twitter mentions going 'whatever happened to you and diabetus... oh well, bygone ages :smith:' despite it now literally being in his profile

Retsupurae was pretty strongly rooted in the SA mockery tradition, and died out as that declined, for the better. Even so, the name stuck until they started deliberately distancing themselves from it, which is relatively recent.

The best part of RP was when it moved into being commentary over LPs of terrible games rather than mocking the actual LPers.

The Darkseeds and Mystery of the Druids are amazing

The internet was (and still is kinda) weirdly obsessed around bullying children. Gen Xers thought we were soft because we weren't allowed to fight other kids in school and old people love to yell at clouds.

Which is weird because it was a side effect of Clinton and Biden's tough on crime reforms, which emphasized three strikes and (especially in schools) "zero tolerance".

Agreed, also Visual Novel Book Club was a great idea and the couple of seasons I listened to were fun.

For gaming with goons for me it was mostly planetside and dawn of war

Man early goon guilds and multiplayer groups got up to some STUPID poo poo, it was so amazing. We even caused the devs of planetside to hotfix vehicle collision damage because we all just took the respawn vehicle which had tank-level impact damage and dominated an entire battle by just running everyone over, the next day they changed it to do barely any damage at all

Droyer posted:

I always liked Chip and Ironicus' RP offshoot more, but I also found them more pleasant to listen to than Slowbeef and Diabetus in general.
their LP of wonderful 101 was my first exposure to that game and chip being a goddamn master at it was icing on the cake, one of the best LPs of all time. Because of that LP I backed the kickstarter when that happened.

Good to hear! I really enjoyed s1 and only put off reading the manga cuz I knew S2 was coming. Might switch to the manga after this season ends or maybe just wait for s3, just because I like the voice performances alot.

My only real wish is that Iruma and Ameri actually get together but it seems like that might actually be a reality from the latest episode so I'm hopeful...

The manga has some really impressive artwork at times and especially during the Evidol Games arc, Iruma really steals the show.

And yeah, I think you're gonna like how the series handles Iruma and Ameri. The aquarium date is one of my favorite parts of the series

huh, I'm definitely one of those people who didn't know slowbeef was doing stuff with diabeetus again, that's cool.

The way RP has aged is definitely hit and miss but I still get a laugh thinking of some of their videos, like the sonic 06 videos.

"Think that was bad?"

"Uh, yes?"

And then somehow it got worse.

I'd never seen an LP of it though, just a bit of speedrunning glitches.

It's cute and decently funny and avoids all the cringe shounen ecchi tropes that usually come with the territory. The main and subcast are mostly all good too. Only one I don't like is Camui who basically is the ballhead kid from mha but he also doesn't show up nearly as much which makes it more tolerable.

i liked iruma because it does the thing where a bunch of demons see him doing weird human stuff and instead of being like "that's a human," they project weird theories about how he must be doing that because he's a demon so much smarter and stronger than anyone else. meanwhile he's panicking over having zero demon abilities to keep up the ruse, while everyone only gets higher expectations of him. ofc they don't hold him to those strictly and instead it just escalates with theories being piled on top of why he would break from their expectations and so on

even in the parts i watched it was obvious he was on the road to getting some legit ability to stand on the same level as demons so i suppose that's where the more typical isekai angle of it comes in. beyond just competing with demons i assume those powers go beyond their strength or are otherwise more useful in some plot situation etc etc. but even with that in mind, i enjoyed the characters and dynamics well enough i could probably tolerate it. Asmodeus as a foppy idiot who is constantly doing mental gymnastics about how awesome his dearest friend Iruma is, Clara as a kinda xD random character who improves over time, Ameri as the typical high-class tsundere but twice Iruma's height so it's a fun visual relationship dynamic, and other dudes like the lovely teacher who hates Iruma, his doting demon grandpa, hot-blooded rival etc.
