Valiantman is obviously full of it with these wild claims of being a father and husband. Anyway, I've been out of the loop as I've spent the last week killing dozens of neo-nazi mercenaries in the jungles of Central Africa, together with the rest of my ethically sourced PMC, but I'm caught up now and I have to say this whole saga is hilarious.

There’s no way any of that was supposed to be taken seriously right? Like, no one actually believed a guy that took pictures of video games and posted them on the internet was also a black ops mercenary, right? This is an elaborate performance art piece. It just has to be.

I saw slowbeefs tweet about thirty seconds after I read that TDI was dying for the first time and got fuckin whiplash from how quick I went from "Man that's a bummer." to in tears laughing. I had no idea about his secret life as an Expendable.

Yeah... I fully admit to being a loving moron and being on TDI's side initially. I wasn't aware of the other times this happened, as far as I knew this was the first. Then the dude ended up nuking a discord he was in charge of when the people in it went from wailing and rending their garments over his alleged demise to going "hold up, something ain't right here" and that's all she wrote. I am, in fact, a colossal dumbass and I deserve every bit of mockery for it. I am sorry for doubting Slowbeef. I got played, and I have no defense for myself.

He pushed back hard enough against the story in other places that people started thinking he was an alt of the guy because how else could you possibly be so dense But uh turns out he was that dense

if you were not aware of the dark id expanded universe in which he was a globe-trotting assassin married to black widow from the avengers and thought he was just a regular guy with a dead daughter and cancer then it's excusable to have given him the benefit of the doubt if you were aware then uh, i dunno what to tell you, try to exercise better judgment in future because literally no one's life is like that

I think this may have been pointed out by someone or -two already but what boggles my little mind is how anyone thought Woke Jack Bauer would have the time to do "LPs" and post/chat on Discord all the time.

Honestly when I first heard the wilder allegations against TDI I was curious if he was doing a bit like in some of his more out-there LPs, but the more you read/learn, the faster you realise that no, this is a preposterous house of cards coming down. Slowbeef's 15 minute audio recording is clearly very cathartic for him.

Well he has a patreon that seems to still be making $150/mo, although that might be lower than before this revelation.

I guess TDI shuttering the discord knocked another $100/month off.

Ahhhh, I didn't know that discord did that and there was no thumbnail, I assumed it was a broken link and skipped it Less than 2 minutes in and "Seen so much combat I forgot my name" is such a thing to say to the most banal question imaginable. How did anyone think he was serious? Everyone catches a slightly bigger fish when they tell the story to strangers, but starting a conversation as Colonel Kurtz is completely deranged

I literally cannot imagine how I'd feel if I'd just found out my ma had cancer and then some internet guy I vaguely know says they're "riddled with cancer" which then turns out to be false. I'd certainly be a lot less charitable than slowbeef was.

Not only does it not hold up very well if you aren't a tweenage boy, it is nearly 300 episodes long and infamous for being glacially paced e: I was thinking of Z, but the same is mostly true of the original non-Z series too

The early manga does hold up alright. I fear trying to go back to the anime E: I think that half of the success of the anime was the episode release scheduling letting people microdose the good parts of the show without being too frustrated by padding The Door Frame has a new favorite as of 23:09 on Mar 8, 2024 |

His lies were very good considering his only connections to the human world were the internet and the dog park.

They released a version of Dragonball Z without the filler called Dragonball Kai. It is 1/5 the overall runtime and generally a lot more tolerable.
