Welcome to the LEGENDS Thread! This is the thread to talk about, reminiscence, get corrected on, and feel old about all the happenings in the Something Awful Forums. Previous versions of this thread: SA's Greatest Sagas: careful that's a load-bearing slur "You know who can help with this? The pig balls website." PYF SA Sagas: gently caress you, it is January! QCS can we have a saga thread, thread PYF Goon Sagas & Dramas: I may be mad, but I am undeniably correct. PYF Sagas: Maybe Sagas should be a thread at all (this is goldmined?!) Official PYF Sagas Thread which WILL be Goldmined After Jeff is Probated (Also Known As: Vichy Sagas) Sagas Thread Discussion PYF Something Awful Legends: This is the one where DarkID didn't have cancer RULES 1. CHAT ABOUT FORUMS! - Old & New! - SAGAS! - No DRAMA! LITERALLY A BIRD posted:There is a difference between Sagas and drama. The two are often intertwined, but for the purposes of this thread we'll define Sagas as tales or events that people outside of Something Awful, perhaps outside the internet all together (they exist??) would find fun, funny, or otherwise interesting and noteworthy. Drama is when the event in question is doing little but causing a lot of people sadness, frustration, or harm. I understand drama will often find its way into this thread, especially ones that are currently on-going (cough), but please try to keep the thread focused on Sagas instead. - No GRUDGES! - No (Inter/Intra-)FORUMS WAR! - No BRIGADES! - No VICTORY PARADES! - No FREE [person]! - No KILL [person]! - Don’t be a PERVERT! - Don’t be a WEIRD LITTLE PSYCHO! - More SIT AROUND A FIRE AND LAUGH ABOUT DUMB THINGS! - Be FUNNY! - Stick to being FUNNY! 2. GRACE PERIOD! For civility purposes, we are instituting a Three (3) Months’ Grace Period before you can talk about the Will I make money in donuts and coffee Rationale posted:So my wife inherited a defunct commercial building with a leaky roof and crumbling corner. $12,000 later it’s dry and sound. PERMABAN 01/17/23 02:27pm Rutibex User requested. Doesn't want to post on a forum that doesn't recognize chat robots don't have human rights. 3. I AM EXTREMELY INCENSED! What! You are really angry about something and your emotions have run and are still running so high you need to run out and tell all of us what you are mad about? Justified or not, THIS IS NOT THE THREAD. This is not Forums Court, this is not - starting a thread in SAD or discussing in a pre-existing SAD thread - messaging the moderation and administration team - emailing the admins at forumadmins@somethingawful.com - deleting your excel sheet of posting enemies - deleting your excel sheet of posting allies too (no, why do you have that) - if you are writing something that you suspect is going to attract admin attention and make them talk to me here’s my advice: HELLO. CANNOT. 4. THE VIRTUE OF FORGIVENESS! Goons do be like the CRIME OF REMEMBERING but let’s try to be in a kinder world. I would like to urge: - less dogpiling of people because they voice a wrong opinion. People can be dumb or acting a little emotional and getting them mad rarely get people on your side! - less usage of old posts, leper colony entries and opinions to destroy your posting enemy. People’s views change! People grow. I think people grow in general… People change! Just said that. Now obviously if it is (i) somehow related to the matter at hand and/or (ii) very funny for some reason, dear god, it’d be up to the moderation team’s discretion but… yeah try to do less of that! - be less intimidating! One of the best things about these threads is the cross-forums integration appeal and we want to encourage more of that. 5. RHINO! I WANT TO BE A BIGOT! Death. 6. LET’S MAKE THIS FORUM MORE SAD DEAD AND GAY! Yeah I think I wrote that in my slides. That works. MODERATION TEAM Mods: The Saddest Rhino Nuns with Guns IKs: Pablo Nergigante skeleton warrior PREVIOUS Thank you to Mia Wasikowska, OP of Vichy Sagas, who did such a good job on their OP that I should just replicate it here.

Speedball posted:You wanna know how much extra loving work this guy has been doing? "Hikari" has an Animal Crossing village filled with 1000s of hours worth of content, I went through it all. There's committing to a bit, and then there's living a double life. That's why I was sure Hikari was real for the longest time.

The Dark ID stuff is wild because this means for like more than a decade he was just posting LPs with some incidental lies that boil down to 'has a family' and 'Yoko Taro sent me a gift bag once' before he started all the crazier stuff. That is a hell of a long ramp period.

did he ever like set up any kind of gofundme or anything? I can't even remember him scamming people or making money off this poo poo since the Patreon is explicitly for something he was actually doing at one point (streaming/making LPs). Instead just building up this insane alternate life that got more and more blatantly fake as time went on.

Instead just building up this insane alternate life that got more and more blatantly fake as time went on. No Gofundme, seemingly no form of scam. Just trying to impress other people on the internet. Really feels like something out of 2004 rather than 2024.

Cholifut posted:That's why it's clear that it was pathological. It was never for money, even once. Just weird lies to be someone else. Rea posted:No Gofundme, seemingly no form of scam. Just trying to impress other people on the internet. Really feels like something out of 2004 rather than 2024. It's been mentioned before but the weird thing is that it wasn't even really for lack of attention because he would have enjoyed a lot of Forums Popularity just off the Let's Plays. And his Twitter accounts barely had any engagement so it wasn't for that either.

I'm not only the CIA master of assassinations with a hot wife, I'm also secretly the world's foremost LP buff. You could say streaming and providing expertise on rare Japanese video games is my true passion.
