Recording and editing video of gaming sessions with goons have alleviated my hate of my own voice somewhat. My biggest issue is that I'm kinda boring so I'd struggle with commentary, even with footnotes to go by.
But then I was definitely guilty of reacting to what happened in my videos in the past.

Like other people, I saw Slowbeef's post on Twitter some days ago and decided to come back here (I still check the forums every now and then but rarely post). I remember liking thedarkid's RE4/CT3 LP's from back in the day just fine. After that, I largely forgot about him except for seeing people retweet him many years later and then following him until he locked and eventually deleted his account. People here and the other drama thread asked how anyone could believe what he said, but it seems like the truly insane nonsense was mostly relegated to his Discord. All I recall from a handful of his social media posts were him being ex-military, his daughter dying, his substance abuse problems and some drama that made him lock his account and quit Twitter. All of which sounded believable enough, none of the best asian friend/orphan rescuing/pmc antifa ubersoldat tales (though maybe I just missed those). If that one old twitter callout account from supposedly his brother saying that he is actually a NEET in his 30s who lives with his father is legit then that would explain a lot of things and also make me wonder, like a bunch of his stories involving him beating the poo poo out of abusive fathers. I sure hope the cat strangling thing isn't true though!
Back in 2006 I made an screenshot LP for The Chronicles of Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay back before the LP subforum was even a thing, I truly missed the chance to make up some bullshit and get my own crew of deluded followers.

Either way: lol. lmao.

Up until a few months ago, I thought Dark Id was some kind of private security contractor. I remember briefly following him on Twitter until he started sounding awfully gleeful at the idea of killing Brazilians while he was (supposedly) doing security work during the Rio Olympics. I thought that was very creepy and promptly unfollowed him.

The idea of an LP goon working as security detail didn't seem like it was outside the realm of possibilities to me. I only very recently heard about his unhinged lie of being an international man of mystery with a hot assassin wife. I can't believe he's managed to fool a Discord server full of people with his hogwash, and I hope they all see the light soon.

I had a similar experience. His Resident Evil LPs got me into LPs, and so a few years ago I put a couple bucks into his patreon and joined the discord (probably around the time where the lowtax business came out and everyone was fleeing SA like a sinking ship). At some point, I got around to actually reading it and he was talking about killing someone in a vaguely justifiable context (something like they were nazis intimidating people or something? It was a while ago) and I went "either this is a weird, creepy fantasy lie, or he's telling the truth and talking about committing murder in a discord and people are cheering him on" and either option creeped me the gently caress out so I unsubbed the patreon and left the discord. And then this all came out I find out that I dodged a bullet by never getting invested in that community.

I didn't give him a single red cent for his Patreon, but yeah, same. Like he said that he could find people's IPs through being a Discord mod and that if anyone talked real poo poo about him online, that he'd send armed thugs over to their places to rough them up and people were like, "Oh man, that's so funny, Id is sending the men in black to kick some rear end!" and I'm thinking, loving really? Don't get me started on when the Ukraine war started and poo poo got really cult like over there. He had all these batshit conspiracy theories about why it had started and how it would go down and people lapped that poo poo up so hard without any real proof, coming down hard on anyone who remotely challenged his weird narratives. The only thing that kept me from straight up bailing is that I had been on good terms with some of the people there before any of this psycho poo poo started. Everyone there is showing a bit more self awareness now, lots of them are openly talking poo poo about him, but on the other hand, I can't help but think in the back of my mind that if he showed up again and gave some half-assed excuse on why he nuked the Discord or whatever, that they'd fall right back down and worship the ground he walks on.

One must wonder that the percentage breakdown is between people who still believe in Id and are willingly giving him money vs. people who have forgotten that they're still subscribed to his and probably other people's patrons, or people who are just flat out dead and will keep paying out phantom corpse money until their credit cards expire.

Yeah, like I said, it's probably just people who've completely forgotten they've subbed to it and don't notice a couple of bucks every month on a credit card statement, or they're subbed to multiple people's patreons so it's lost in the lump sum that comes out every month. I'm just saying that because I also had a moment last year where I was like "wait, why I am giving $7 a month to someone who goes months without posting anything? This is bullshit. Deleted."

please assume that I am :ughh: throughout writing this in shame for buying this.

Id was retired but still consulting/just helping out Number 2 who was working in Ukraine. Now please remember, Russia had been showing their whole rear end at the time with farmers hauling away tanks and other things, so... this isn't completely improbable. She's kicking rear end, then Id who was just recently announcing his cancer had Nazis contracted to kill him from Russia (when I say things are improbable I mean about Russia loving up, not this part)

Now fast forward some amount of time. Number 2 (who now has a name I can't remember it) leaves the front because she either can't have kids and is decimated about it, wants to have kids, or has cancer, whatever, she's not in Ukraine anymore she's in Canada with Id and Hik. Now Hik (bi) or her sister (lesbian) hit it off with Number 2.

Then number 2 goes off somewhere else and I don't know, maybe off with Ids estranged wife, maybe fridged, I don't know. her character arc is done.

God forgive me for my idiocy and I'm sorry for all who reads this and is dumber for hearing it.

He said that he KNOWS that Putin has some kind of incurable disease or whatever that's going to kill him fast by the end of the year (which was 2022 then), and is just wrecking as much havoc as he can before he croaks to ensure he has a legacy. Said that he's not going to just attack Ukraine either, he's going to come at Sweden and Finland and every other adjacent nation too before the year was up, all because he has a small dick, and really scared the piss out of a user there on his Discord there who was living in Finland that if she didn't get the gently caress out dodge soon that she wasn't long for this world. And no loving poo poo, Putin is goofy, Putin is a strong man weasel, a dictator with a cult of personality and so much worse, and like Kim Jong-Un and Trump he is a buffoon who is totally full of poo poo in everything he does and stands for and it wouldn't surprise me that something is seriously going on with him behind the scenes, but if that's all there is to your theory, it's no different than any Youtuber or blogger. Forget any talk of geopolitical realities or how nations work, no, Putin was just doing this because he knows he's going to die soon, and is fighting a losing war solely to ensure that he would be remembered.

The only proof ever Id ever gave of this idea was that he studied history. Never provided proof beyond that, just that he studied history whatever the gently caress that was supposed to mean, and that was that. People there ate that poo poo up too, without needing any proof whatsoever, and shot down anyone who spoke even remotely to the contrary of this narrative as Putin apologists. It didn't matter that a lot of official news reports contrasted what he claimed when it came to battle reports either. He even once said that the only reason that the war was beginning to last so long beyond his predictions was uh, because uber merc she-devil Number Two was shot in the rear end, putting her out of commission from killing as many Russian invaders as possible.

Will never forget that he went on for the longest time that Queen Elizabeth was either going to die any day now or secretly dead, because his SAS buddies told him so. He went on that one for a whole year. She was going to die any day now for an entire year.
