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.

Wasn't TDI's daughter actually his niece that he forcibly adopted from abusive parents? I'm losing track of the lore here.

The Dark Id Expanded Universe:
1. Biological daughter who was gay and dead.
2. Daughter's lesbian girlfriend who was adopted by the Dark Id after her dad was mercy killed by the Dark Id after he walked in on a failed suicide attempt.
3. Japanese Discord mod, best friends with Dark Id from childhood, supposed to be similar in age but lives with the Dark Id after he beat up her abusive father.
4. Sexy spy wife who goes by the codename "Number Two" like Kids Next Door

I feel like MatPat right now.

You have to be such a shithead to continue lying when people start extending their heartfelt sympathy for your cancer diagnosis or dead daughter but I just cannot get over how funny the Tactical Gamer is. It's been like 20 years but I... don't remember the old LPs having these extended asides about his personal life or the weird military fixation? Like if you told me that "TID is a cringey Internet Tough Guy" I would have believed you, but I had no idea about any of this.

Most people are just conflict-avoidant which is probably for the best because the exceptions are huge aggro assholes, but it does mean that people are strongly inclined to not speak up even if something stinks. Especially if the interaction is private and/or 1-to-1, people doubt themselves, or they think that it's not a big deal that's worth making a fuss. That's why announcing a big countdown to die was the inciting incident, because everyone expressing grief was too obnoxious for Slowbeef to ignore.

Wait I thought I was keeping all the lore straight but now I'm confused, is Number 2 the fake wife or is Number 2 the fake Japanese(?) best friend?

Edit: Nvm, I see the explainer above.

There's been an addendum

Tendales posted:

Jeez, get things straight people. The fake hot snarky gamer wife and the psycho French mercenary from across the tracks are two totally distinct OCs. The hot wife was so broken up over the fake daughter's death that they split up, and she never posted anything ever again. Presumably she also took the still-alive fake son with her into the phantom zone because he never comes up again either.

Number Two would never be in a relationship with TDI, she's a lesbian. (She left the warzone where she was single handedly defeating the entire Russian war effort to make out with Japanese girl)

I would say that's putting more effort into keeping the lies consistent than he did, but that's not true, he clearly did try to track the storylines and each persona. He even made a lot of them alt accounts! He could have just said "oh the wife I met on my badass job doesn't like social media" and nobody would have looked deeper into it but he had to rp the fake wife.

I thought concerntrolling was being lovely to someone but pretending that you're just worried for them, usually with some kind of social justice angle ("Trans people shouldn't do this, not because I hate trans people, I'm just concerned they might get harrassed" or "black characters shouldn't exist, not because I hate black people but because they might promote stereotypes"). Basically another way for people to be bigotted in public but not in a way that immediately gets called out. And then it became anyone who expresses criticism or disapproval for something.

In Skellige there's a merchant who tells you a gut wrenching story about how his son just died at sea on his first journey and now he'll not get buried and feast with his ancestors. Then you can ask him for a few rounds of cards, gwent specifically, and he just nods while frowning and near tears lol

The universal Gwent nod is so funny. Why did they do that. It's not to save dialogue recording or anything because those NPCs are already fully voiced for everything else.

I think a lot of people are just not used to considering the possibility that someone (especially someone they consider a friend) would lie to their face. Granted this is the internet so it's not really "to your face", and ideally you would learn this lesson a lot earlier in life, but still.

basically the only issue i had was the same thing that happens in AA1 where van zieks rules so its a slight bummer to not have him in the prosecution seat for the climactic case though he does a lot of cool poo poo in the last trial

My one fanfiction desire is that it would have been nice if van Zieks got what Edgeworth did in AA3 and there was an extended part where he is more or less cool with the good guy cast. It could have also have possibly helped with giving Redacted more screentime than like 2.5 cases.

Also the one person who notices how hosed things are and their subsequent campaign to change things is treated as a running gag for the whole series

The entire series has this weird overarching theme where the establishment and government are acknowledged to be bad, but anyone who tries to change the status quo is shrill at best (Hermione) and evil at worst (the goblins). Hermione the annoying feminist protestor is a particularly strange joke because JKR's entire public identity before Twitter was being a girlboss feminist.

the user pleaded with Chen not to publish it, as he was concerned about the potential impact on his employment and finances, noting that his wife was disabled and he had a mortgage to pay. He also expressed concern that he would be falsely labeled a child pornographer or antisemite, due to some of the subreddits he had created.
