I legit thought his being full of poo poo was more well known, maybe it really was just "if you didn't talk to him it was less apparent"? I remember someone else discussing it off-site at one point and I just figured the story had got out since (because?) he left.

From what's come out, the worst of it was in his discord and only some was on his Twitter, rarely in his threads. Not a surprise that a lot of this is news to most of us.

Did he even try making money off of this at any point, or was this whole thing all for emotional grift, never fiscal? I don't recall any attempts to solicit from the sob stories.

Man a few hours ago I heard about TDI and was like "Ah poo poo, the LP guy? That sucks rear end." and then just now my bestie links me slowbeef's tweet and holy poo poo.Artix posted:From what's come out, the worst of it was in his discord and only some was on his Twitter, rarely in his threads. Not a surprise that a lot of this is news to most of us. Do we even know if Drakengard and Nier are the games we thought they were?

It was always framed as "If you like my LPs or want to read them without needing to register for SA consider giving me some money". He mentioned his daughter dying, but wasn't fishing for sympathy money.

the lps aged really terribly imo and it's probably worth revisiting the games yourself, but I would've even said that before today's news. just never had a tolerance for people getting performatively angry about games and filling their playthroughs with angry tangents and fake dialogue

I have so many questions about this entire thing that basically amount to "but why though?" and the only answer I can come up with is "pathological liar". "Patreon sympathy money" is also on the table I suppose but clearly this poo poo runs waaaaaaaaaaay deeper than that.

I've never started an LP because I figured it would be too much effort, and I'd give up at some point. But now you're telling me I have to make up a family and draw crayon screenshots from my imaginary adult son? This hobby is way too intense

This hobby is way too intense At last we finally have a definitive answer to the age old "What unique thing do YOU bring to the table in your LP?" question. Motherfucker, I will invent an entire fake family complete with consistent in-universe lore and fabricated proof of life evidence and then slowly kill each one of them off in a series of bizarre accidents before faking my own death as well. THAT'S what I bring to the table!
