Because it is. The pool of tweets used by that tool must be pretty small so it copied one wholesale.

I'm surprised it'd repeat based on the sample size of depressed Spoony tweets.

Well, that's interesting when she said she's lived that life twice, since she talks like every waking moment of her life is a comedy of tragedies involving, kidney problems, homelessness and falling out of bed at any given moment.

Some people need to have drama. No one wants to listen to him stir shit and cause mayhem on Twitter. That's what's really bugging him.
I'm half-convinced its psychosomatic. Like a "sympathetic pregnancy".
People with autism, OCD, and ADD are prone to health anxieties. Spoony moans about being in pain. Rachel feels a tingle in her body. Proceeds to Google it in the hopes that it's cancer. She probably burns people out with her overreactions.
He's gotten inside her head.

I hate the hog so much. Besides the fact she is peak twitter, she always finds a way to make her pity all about herself.
>I've lived this life
>People like me
fuck off hog, you are not some kind of tragic figure, you are just a lazy fatass who cannot be arsed to lift your finger because "muh illnesses". All of which stem from the fact you are a fatass btw.
As for the spoony generator thing, I looked up the code. Apparently it always starts with an "og tweet", which is a direct spoony quote it seems, but everything else is randomly generated from the random combination of phrases from a pool of phrases spoony would use.
Sorry, I like doing this.

Fuck, Spoony needs to replay the Ultima series again, it was only then he was truly alive.

Nah, he would bitch about it. He was bitching about everything, because "That our Spoony". His audience (myself in the day included, guilty as charged) loved his v-logs and videos where he was shitting on every movie, every show, every game etc. Betrayal was the name of the game, he was always trash talking something before he actually saw or played. And even when he did, he would find something to his disliking, and that would ruin his experience, even if its a nitpick. Only movies or games that have Spoony's seal of approval are timeless, rest can fuck off, because he doesn't like them and nether should you.

And there is the reason angry reviews are a dying breed. They are fun to some extend, but then again I remember the days I played my C64, with good, bad, mediocre games. But, I was a child without taste and life experience. Even at the worst games, I was trying to have fun. Now its fun to revisit those old games and movies in "angry review" format, but I think Spoony created a totally different medium, where everything sucks and where everything "isn't worthy".

The weakness of the angry review format was how superficial it was. It was inevitable that it'd get paved over by the explosion of long-form content like video essays (and with gaming: streams, raw gameplay etc.) which offered more insight with none of the bought-and-paid-for bullshit you got with journos.
With Spoony, FF13 is the first time I consciously realised how glad I was that I had some familiarity with the game from an LP I'd watched years prior. He made some good points, but cut out a lot of content and context. The hyperbole, which used to funny, became tedious. I didn't need an awful 15 minute skit of him playing with slime to get the point about the upgrade system.
Angry reviews were okay as a novel form of comedy in the primitive era of web video, but it's a terrible format for creating a useful picture of a piece of media and history proved that it was also a crutch abused by weak critics who had little or nothing valuable to say about pop culture. To put it another way: There's a reason why a lot of people felt Spoony's highly passionate and personal Ultima Retrospective was his magnum opus, and almost everyone thought Nostalgia Critic's The Wall was such a travesty of criticism it drifted into being offensive. (The reaction to that video is also is the example I had in mind when thinking about shifting tastes: If it was 10 years prior I feel the opinion would've been a lot more mixed.)

Zero Punctuation modified "I hate everything format" by giving it selfawerness and dry brit humor. Civvie11 created a suffering review, also with selfawerness. GGManLives created insult persona with ego checks (insulting the viewer, but also making fun at his own expense). Those were the thing pioneered by AVGN, Nostalgia Critic and the rest of early angry reviewers. While most of them have outgrown angry reviewer persona, because like you said RJ MacReady, it was fun when internet videos were a new thing.
Noah never did and never will, because he acts like he is there to bash and hate everything, except the thing he grew up with. Movies and Games from the 80s and 90s are his safe zone, his safe space. To him, everything new needs to be compared with the old, to get his seal of approval. And the worst thing is, that he never looks like he is having fun with the formula, he just found a place to express his darkest emotions. In the end, that, plus bipolar and laziness is what got him into this place, where he is right now.

If by this you meant time when he reviewed those games then remember that most of the gameplay was not recorded by him xD I'm pretty sure he maybe played those games for a few hours. I mean, sure maybe in his childhood he played them more, but not in his adulthood. He felt alive and happy not because of Ultima games itself but because it reminds him his childhood - when everything was safe and easy.
He likes to boast(well he used to) how he loves retro games, but when he was playing Fallout 2 on livewire it was like watching some mildly retarded person playing it for the first ime.

I'm still in awe of his Persona 4 streams. Dude claimed it was one of the best games and loved it but never went into much detail so I was excited to see why Spoony loved Persona 4...only for the stream to be him shitting on the game constantly. Admittedly Chie's new dub voice didn't help. But still I don't know if the dude can find joy in ANYTHING. His depression is depressing.

FF13 review was when i thought to myself, "why am i watching this?" the 12 minute Dr insano part which wasn't funny one bit, and was just a dragged out "oooh look random" was some of, if not, the worse Spoony content he produced or Concepted OR thought "yes...yes that's a good idea to do"

All he cares about is nitpicking life's various irrelevancies. He just grafted his Ultima 9 style onto 13. (And the Ultima 9 video was a trial to sit through)
That role was his King Lear!

It's not really depressing so much as it is irritating. You know those situations where someone tells you how depressed they are and you sympathize with them at first but then they keep telling you about it while not doing anything to improve their situation and you eventually get sick and tired of it and you tell them their shit is getting old? I feel that way about Spoony. He has now spent years whining on twitter about how depressed he is. Even now, when he's at his lowest point yet, he has not lifted a finger to improve his situation. I have a feeling that even if he becomes homeless, he'll just whine instead of doing anything about it. I don't pity him and I don't think he's even worthy of mockery anymore. Now I'm more like, "Dude, just shut up already."

The way Spoony threw that U9 case. I have felt that exact way about shit like ME3 and many other games. It's not just that it's a bad game. It's that it's so obviously lazy and callous with what came before. You could tell the Devs just didn't care. And that fuckin sucks. Spoony obviously did a lot of r e t a r d e d (fuck off Null) shit since but I really did empathise with Spoony this one time. Oh well. What's he tweeted recently?

I'm aware Sseth did it already, but i was kind of hoping for Spoony to go through the Might & Magic series or something after the Ultima, he could've been doing Western RPG's for a long time and it would've been a great time.
