i think about phil playing through multiple chapters of black mesa without crouch jumping because he missed the tutorial pop up explaining it so he kept stacking things to make the jumps and at one point cries out in dismay "is this what the original half life was like" as he tries to get into an airvent by precariously balancing himself on a chair stacked with boxes and other garbage alot

Rubbernecking something for a day or two is very enjoyable. Rubbernecking something for a week or longer is insanely gay. I recommend making as many earnest posts as possible and logging off regularly.

This is an adage that explains how loving weird mock threads and the chris chan community and kiwifarms got after a few months in service. Example the Star Citizen thread. There's a reason why Mandalore called goons really lunatics for bringing on lunatic Derek Smart.

My favourite saga is RaptorFag, a goon who in years gone by would repeatedly spam various Australia threads with ponies, pony porn and/or pony prolapse porn.

Most of these incidents seem to have been lost but I dug up a couple. All the nws images have been removed by the mods.

There was a post in one of the GBS Australia threads by what I'm fairly sure was a RaptorFag rereg some years back about how he was on his way to hospital after a sounding rod accident and I don't think he's been heard of since.

I don't know if old threads often don't turn up in search results or if I'm doing something wrong but it's really hard to find old posts.

Another Australian favourite was IronicWarCriminal who spent well over $1,000 on reregs over a number of years.

Fwiw i dont know about him being a raptorfag rereg but tfab posted many many times after he destoyed his dick with a sounding rod, including pictures of gargantuan dildos he was purcbasing to stick up his rear end

this was one of those times multiple goons pointed out how bad a star citizen doxxing forum was and were accussed of being concern trolling backers by the people invested in doxxing the families of people working on star citizen

he drove multiple mods insane by saying the r word and after saying robert evans should choke on a fishbone he was permabanned for threatening to murder a goon and then later downgraded to a forum ban from c-spam because the mods were losing their minds over larry just being larry

Being made fun of on the internet, especially in highly non-real internet spaces such as this one, can be insanely good for you. I have many times reconsidered life choice due to getting owned online for them. Social pressure is a gift sometimes.

the key to prevent becoming a KF-esque psychopath is to focus on funny facts that you could conceivably share with someone who doesn't have any context. anything else, especially when you dip into real life stuff, or things that requires reams of personal info just to understand, let alone find funny, is when you start loving up

it's objectively funny DSP accidentally left his webcam on while masturbating and just kinda posted through the drama. it's even funnier, and actually kinda cool, that he has continued finding success sharing his comprehension-free opinions on games despite that. that's something you could share with coworkers when you're swapping weird stories about the internet

now imagine the looks you'd get saying something like, "hey a guy went through DSP's garbage and you won't believe the state of his marriage". that's psycho poo poo.

It's not (usually) about the specific things people are doing, just the time involved.

I know who DSP is and am aware of some of his stupid highlights due to other people talking about them. Once every six months or so he says something exceptionally dumb that makes a tweet get posted somewhere.

The issue is the people who are psychotically obsessed with him and then live their lives to fixate on him. The stuff goes into the weirdly personal and real life when someone spends months or years on it because there just isn't that much to talk about. It's not that interesting. Those people just need it to be.

Chris Chan, Star Citizen, Trump, Streamers, Glenn Greenwald, whatever it is living for it drives people insane and it's why our mockthreads always turn into horrorshows. Oh and we always draft moderators from popular threads so it's why most of our moderators turn out to be freaks since there is an inability to sort between good popular and bad popular.
