So after about a year break, I came back to following this thread (well, the last one) just recently to catch the details about SPR's saga.

Now that I'm finally caught up: what's with the sleepy Jeff jokes? Clearly I missed something during my hiatus.

Jeff posted a few times in the SAD thread about the sagas thread then completely disappeared for over a week. So people started making jokes about how he needed his naps.

Chibisoma was mad about his controller and had a twitter meltdown at the Bastion developers about it. MrBibs had other video game fights with developers, like arguing with RopeKid in the Fallout New Vegas thread. Plus the time Jack from Red Letter Media told him on stream "MrBibs you are completely wrong."

The exact quote was "Misterbibs, you are horribly incorrect."

To be fair there were weirdo perverts all over the internet lusting after that particular teenage girl, so it wasn't really a case of this website being worse than anywhere else. It was a case of the entire internet being inappropriately horny for a 17 year old girl. Very cool society we have here.

The whole thing was a lead up with the mods making the worst possible decisions in general, and for once without even Lowtax being involved. Also Koala's March supposedly trusted PPJ's word.

I legit think they were all just trying to have his back, but when they asked him to come up with an excuse he said, "Uh, I'm a spy," and then they were stuck with the dumbest possible thing to defend.

Psycho Landlord posted:

Durance in Pillars of Eternity made me kinda retroactively appreciate Ulysses and Kreia more because despite how loving annoying Avellone's writing can be when he decides its time for you to read his works, I no longer believe you're actually intended to agree with his characters, which is the vibe a lot of folks seemed to have gotten from the latter two (and I absolutely thought Kreia was supposed to be right when I first played Kotor II)

I think he just likes writing opinionated and obsessive assholes for the player to tear apart either literally or verbally

Also Grieving Mother is the worst character he ever wrote

Kreia and Ulysses are villains who have the worldviews they do because they failed doing things both the 'right' way and the 'wrong' way. So they come up with a third way that is somehow the worst possible option, but because of their trauma they have come up with a very clear and articulate reason for why everyone has to die now thank you very much. It's really easy to get lost in the weeds of their arguments and lose sight of the fact that their goals would mean massive amounts of suffering for everyone. Neither really expects to defeat you in the traditional sense, but both have a best case scenario that relies on them convincing you, however briefly, that there is some value in their arguments. Just long enough for their plan to work.

One questline has a nice capstone of a character breaking down and saying you were right all along, and they shouldn't have done the thing you spent all game telling them not to do.

Pretty sure that's Merrill. Fun fact, on my second playthrough of DA2 I was trying to romance Fenris, even got the mid game 'breakup', but while we were broken up it turns out I had picked one flirt option with Merrill, who I had been maxing rivalry with. So suddenly Merrill is asking to hate gently caress my character and I just rolled with it. Really crazy playthrough.

I remebered my first interaction with 3O. I went and looked up the thread. What's really strange about reading a thread that's a few years old is seeing just how many people posting in it are permabanned or just regular banned and didn't come back. I also found this:



That guy hasn't posted since April 2020. Maybe someone should sit him down, give him a cup of chamomile tea and then spend several hours explaining what has happened since.

I think someone else bought him that, so maybe there's a reason they haven't posted since 2020.

Goddamn Dyson.

I remember about 20 or more years ago when he first started marketing his stupid cyclone vacuum cleaners. They advertised it as never losing suction power, like a hoover does when the bag is almost full. My dad, being the technophile that he is, had to have one. Never losing suction power isn't a big sell when there is barely any to begin with. It couldn't lift cigarrette butts off the tile floor of the bar.

It got locked up in the attic along with the excercise bike and the fondue pot.

Dyson is not a genius. I hate to bring politics in here but what sort of buisinessman who relied on exports supported brexit? He could have failed his way into Elon Musks shoes if circumstances were different.

You aren't wrong. I've found that for every advanced feature Dyson products have, there is some basic feature that they lack because of their minimalist design.

This only proves more than one person was involved and that doesn't actually exculpate anyone.

Hedrigall loved to post horny poo poo over in threads he considered home turf, but also posted all over the forums. He posted relatively normally in a lot of threads. I think a lot of posters who don't leave their comfort zones very much might have been familiar with him but not with his larger reputation. He was clearly capable of controlling himself, he just chose not to. It's the only excuse I can see for speaking up for Hedrigall. But you'd think that people would actually look up the sort of poo poo he was doing that got him banned in the first place before speaking up for him.

He was arguing with some goon who had an anime avatar, looked up the character, and started gloating about how they had a character in their avatar that did a whole list of bad things.
