(Currently mobilefagging so I’ll post the message I saved later when I’m on my PC)
I saw this interaction go down last night and knew I had to share it for you lovely fuckers. If you’re unaware, earlier in the thread it was mentioned that one of the many ways Alex passes time NOT making his game is by whaling out on a website/Twitch stream known as SaltyBet.
SaltyBet is, to put it simply, the most autistic version of gambling second only to WWE Champions. It’s a Twitch stream with a custom frontend site that hosts a 24/7 broadcast of a massive build of MUGEN (an open-source fighting game engine) loaded with thousands of characters and stages. Matches give you time to bet fictional currency (salt) on the winner, and the goal is to pile up your salt by winning unlikely bets.
Now, if you show up to the site at any given point you’ll generally see YanDev topping the bet chart (almost exclusively betting for le kawaii anime girl waifus even if the other fighter is much stronger) by millions. Alex is a massive whale for this stream to the point of having his own custom badge in the Twitch chat, and I’m unsure of how exactly (minus the absurd amount of time he spends there) he managed to accumulate his, reportedly, nearly billions of fictional currency. Whaling is mostly the explanation, but as far as I’m aware there is no way to pay real money for salt on SaltyBet so I’ll just narrow it down to him spending way too much time here.
Background aside, a night or two ago I had the stream open in the background while I did some work. Call me autistic, but this is where SaltyBet shines imo. They play some pretty good music sometimes and it can be relaxing to just turn your brain off and look at the weird ass matchups every now and then while you’re doing something more productive (like coding a game, for instance.)
However, this night in particular I looked over and happened to notice everybody’s favorite NOT game developer in chat. Regulars to the stream know he’s a high-roller and like to make bets against him, but shit didn’t hit the fan until someone joined the conversation who knew of Alex’s dollfucking, pedophilic past and called him a creep. Not directly, just offhandedly said “YanDev is a creep.” This was enough to send a couple of the spergs there into autistic overdrive defending their king whale. Several people with sub badges were berating this guy for “assuming he knew Alex’s personality from a 2 hour long YouTube video”. No, it’s not just muh sensationalist YouTubers that he show off that you’re a sick lazy fuck Alex, it’s yourself and your own antics.
Anyways, likely seething at his monitor, Alex wrote a long-winded cope message in chat about how YouTubers blow everything out of proportion and not to trust everything you see online. Unfortunately I didn’t grab a capture of this message, and I should have because it was fucking hilarious. My bad.
The sped slapfight ended when he bitched that there’s a command to call the host of the stream, Salty, in the case that there are technical issues on the stream, but no command to call a moderator when people aren’t sucking his dick and are instead hurting his feefees with mean words online. It was hysterical, and if you’re interested in watching Alex interact in an environment he actually seems to find comforting, than hit up SaltyBet every now and then and lurk to see if you can catch his coom crusted face emerge from the darkness to drop millions of fictional currency on his favorite trash tier anime waifus. It’s a treat.
TLDR: some guy calls Alex a creep on the twitch stream he’s lurking in, Alex proceeds to throw a shit fit and use the other whales to defend himself while bitching that he can’t immediately summon a mod (it was like 3 am btw) and ranting about the evil trolls and YouTubers ruining his life.
