The Super Best Friends Super Best Griefing Thread - Matt's a cuck, Liam is a bitch, Pat's a loony and Woolie's Way is now trademarked

[stupid frog]

I realized I've scrolled past this link multiple times, without even registering it (much less feeling the least bit of temptation to click it). Is anyone else afflicted with an active disinterest in anything Liam might have to say? In my case, I think the conditioning probably set in within the first year of the Friendcast; and I'm amused to notice that I'm still just automatically filtering him out a decade afterward. For anyone who doesn't: Could you summarize the blog beyond "coasting on his wife"? Of course, if no one can be bothered to, that's perfectly fitting.

I clicked it. But I didn't read any. It's new and pretty bare.



edit: lol MUH ANXIETIES
I'll post it.

Foreword – A Remedy for my Everyday Anxieties​

Spoiler: post

I’ve been thinking about what I actually do a lot lately. Not always good thoughts, either. I’m retired from making videos and streaming as far as I’m concerned, I edit some stuff for friends, and I work on my indie games. That sounds like a lot, but in practice, I don’t do tons of any of it (ADHD-haver, here) and I’m frankly pretty slow at it all as well. My wife has an awesome job that she loves, and I’m not shy to say that support lets me live an amazing life with her without having to fret too much about money right now.

That said, the call to post things for you all to see still lives strong within me, but games are fucking hard to make and they take a long time as well, so a part of me feels… stagnant. Garden Guardian’s updates finished about a year ago… am I even moving forward in life? The answer is of course that I am, but you know how brainworms are, right? Doesn’t feel that way every day. I hope I can get better and faster at making games, but for the time being I want some sort of outlet where I can post more long-form stuff and share my thoughts on stuff with anyone who’s interested.

Well, here we are. I’m hoping to update the site a few times per month basis with writeups on games (bordering on reviews), some tiny development updates for my own projects (past and current) and as a spot to dump some screenshots from time to time (I wish consoles had screenshot buttons generations earlier).

There are things I’d like to add to the website like a mailing list, and maybe a more direct way to support me/it financially. This site will be by design low cost and hopefully not take too much of my time to manage (aside from writing the articles, of course). Eagle eyed web designers may notice I’m rocking the most default-ass WordPress layout, and you’d be right! Since I don’t plan for it to be a huge project it’ll be simple all the way down. Maybe I’ll jazz it up eventually, but the age-old mantra of “promise nothing and deliver less” is still something I’ll hold to. I may eventually put an unintrusive ad per page or integrate a more direct support method to help cover the minimal costs associated with hosting a site, but for now if you want to support me I’d be absolutely jazzed if you bought a copy or Garden Guardian for you and your buds! No plans for a Patreon or anything high-maintenance like that, though. Low-key only!

Anyways, thank you for taking the time to come check the site out. I hope you’ll enjoy something you read on here, or find it useful or whatever. Feel free to Tweet at me if you ever need to get in touch or let me know how I’m doing, or what you’d like to see! Enjoy!

-Liam

I copied that correctly, he did not insert links to his game

I listened to Pat's entire Space Marine 2 stream with Mandalore and Punk Duck. I have no idea who Punk Duck is, all I know is what he said on this stream that he's friends with Mandalore, they've met in Chicago and Europe, he's 27 and Portugeuse.

Thanks for suffering through that stream for our...benefit, @Sincere Irony LLC

"I’d be absolutely jazzed if you bought a copy or Garden Guardian for you and your buds! No plans for a Patreon or anything high-maintenance like that, though. Low-key only!"

This cloudnigger doesn't want hard confirmation that he has zero fans; and is still coping that the total lack of interest in Garden Guardian (even from his friends) is due to some indie genre nicheness bullshit. That whole entry is cringe shit, and Liam seems like the type to self-diagnose "imposter syndrome" to absolve himself of his own accurate self doubt.

-Yakuza talk, Yakuza 2 showed Pat "how insane Japanese xenophobia can be"
-"Japanese treat Koreans like Cylons"

They've talked about this multiple times on the podcast, about the secret korean, and it was funny the first time i guess, it's kind of old now lol. I mean, it's not meant to be taken seriously in the yakuza world, and it's greatly exaggerated. I hope Pat actually doesnt think this is how the japanese think of koreans.

 

[Living Failure]

I hope Pat actually doesnt think this is how the japanese think of koreans.

Pat has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that he just doesn't understand narratives. And I mean on a conceptual level, he seems genuinely incapable of parsing information presented to him by a story, and fitting it into the context established by the story, as opposed to whatever haphazard framework he has cobbled together from sheer fantasy and references to other media he is aware of.
If you want the clearest proof of this, watch their old Soma playthrough. The amount of times Pat gets information wrong the second after it has been very clearly and obviously spelled out to him by the game itself, and then jumps to some wacko conclusion he has conjured from thin air and sticks to despite evidence to the contrary, is truly staggering. To this day, Soma is probably the hardest playthrough to rewatch, because it's a genuinely good game with an interesting premise, and Pat just keeps dragging his retarded ass all over its narrative carpet instead of just listening to what the game's telling him, and understanding the information presented, like a human would.

If Pat plays Yakuza 7 he'll end up saying that the Japanese think that the Chinese are weak to electrical and water damage, but resist blade and fire damage.

 

[Flopper]

I watched bits and pieces of the Ace Attorney LP, Woolie keeps bringing up that Edgeworth has his own game series and he seems oddly stuck on that. It's really fucking repetitive.

 

[CombatMan]

After lurkng in this thread for fucking years, I had to finally make an account and LAUGH at the dumb cunts who were slobbering all over Woolie and Pat's cocks in the beginning...especially that fucking Steel-Hearted guy with the bald avatar, my God, that must've been Pat himself.

Hey remember when people absolutely shit on Crymetina for that tweet regarding Pat in the beginning, cuz Pat was trying to feign like he and Liam were still friends - which, on a side note, considering how manipulative that little fuck is, I actually 100% consider that Liam told Pat to fuck off and they weren't friends, and Pat was just trying to keep up appearances, like Liam claimed - you go to Pat's twitter and it's just him and his wife ganging up on people after one of the two posts some inane bullshit. Just straight up rage bait, and it's so fucking sweet how people were sucking up to them in the beginning, even seeing people congralutate them on the kid is hilarious...

I ain't wishing it any ill will, but fuck those two. They deserve no love. I was reading, what, page 899 or some shit, the tweet where Paige talked about her high school bully having a daughter now, and surprisingly no one called out Pat on that fact that he admitted before in podcast that he was a very violent kid, constantly getting into fights, so it's fucking hilarious to try to see him villify violent kids and say they can't be redeemed, total projecting piece of shit. Fuck anyone who ever doubted Matt in the beginning, I wish him the best. Woolie appears to be a lost cause, he needs to cut Pat out the picture and get his head on a swivel, fast. Someone said it's been like...EIGHT years since WoolieVS started?

Christ, Woolie...

 

[Marc]

I hope Pat actually doesnt think this is how the japanese think of koreans.

Here's the part to bear in mind:

Pat actually doesnt think

Spoiler

Pat's OCPD means that his various inferiority complexes are part of the rigid rules everything must conform to in order for the world to "make sense" (a big pressure point for him). This is why he has consistently claimed to have "no imagination" throughout his adult life, despite his descriptions of this purported inability to engage with particular qualities of abstract thought instead demonstrating it to be a matter of unwillingness; because Pat refuses to entertain concepts which contradict previously solidified concepts he has mentally set into stone - Even if they're fallaciously invoked, fundamentally misunderstood, or plainly incorrect as a direct consequence of having been solicited from an authoritative resource presumed to be infallible. The narcissistic aspect is that Pat would rather insist his audience perceive him as having no imagination (implausible, flanderized, Mind Goblins Pat -set your expectations to "WACKY"!) than merely exibiting deficient imagination (plausible, actual Pat who fails when tasked to demonstrate basic qualities of thinking, and who people do no favors by giving money to; because it feeds into his avoidant traits and exacerbates his problems by affording him more time to hide from reality and surround himself with more status symbols to flesh out his facade with - I include Paige and everything originating from her in this; because she never would have monkey-branched/settled for the real Pat, who still haunts a room in his parents' house because he never managed to move on under his own steam).

Pat's disability is in being overwhelmed any time he is forced to engage with placeholder concepts and/or any abundance of choices which fail to be immediately categorizable for him. The man can't stand to juggle plates; preferring instead to navigate and to morally qualify the navigation of such matters in a linear, A-Z path he rationalizes as being the right way (rather than a mere preference he is personally and incidentally more comfortable with). Any evidence to the contrary is an attack on Pat's fragile worldview built on bullshit for the sake of tricking himself into not feeling perpetually overwhelmed with a sense of inadequacy relentlessly attacking him from inside. And if you're as terminally full of shit as Pat is, these shortcomings are glaring enough that everything speaks to them.

So Pat does what anyone is liable to do; and copes with cognitive distortions in a futile attempt to square a world he requires to extend no further than his immediate surroundings in order to be perceived as manageable - to retain an illusory sense of control and perspective. They're illusory because they lack the objectivity Pat insists upon attributing to them so they can function as foundational presumptions and constants for with which to rigidly measure and judge the external world against - Which, by nature of this impaired worldview, can never be accurate. And when these inaccuracies are pointed out to Pat, he pays lip service in acknowledging them so the other person will shut up; then subsequently repeats these inaccurate assertions - just as dogmatically as he originally did - the next time he is reminded. Pat's blind spot is that he refuses to internalize contradictory information to the extent necessary for actually incorporating it into a revised worldview (i.e., learn from mistakes); because to internalize what he is only willing to perceive as overt attacks on his matchstick worldview would to allow them to wreck catastrophic damage which would destroy him. Pat can be observed utilizing his imagination to go through the motions of emulating a person who is admitting to a mistaken assumption in the course of correcting themselves - But Pat's secret is that he argues from extremely rigid presumptions, to which he attributes crucial importance - When you point out to Pat that seagulls nest on land (and not in the sea; because why would they call them "seagulls" if they don't live their lives exclusively in the sea), that's a transgression noted with the same degree of severity and panic as physically threatening his life. Pat is immediately switched into fight-or-flight. "HOW DARE YOU?."

This all results in Pat constantly devoting so much brain power to denying the impulse to spill his spaghetti that his gears barely turn. His mind is so obviously inefficient that it seems like his existence is an utterly exhausting form of non-productivity - But then he rationalizes all of it as being some form of ethically consistent, nihilistic hedonism he practices; so he can ideologically permit himself to be a self-centered, overbearing asshole incapable of generosity and demonstrating no consideration for the audience he depends on to subsidize their own disrespect. And, even though Pat makes extremely superficial attempts to hide his wealth and the lifestyle it affords behind the branding of champagne socialism, he has far more in common with lolbertarian stereotypes:

Pat just keeps dragging his retarded ass all over its narrative carpet instead of just listening to what the game's telling him, and understanding the information presented, like a human would.

If you told Pat a story in which a child got up and went to school, ate lunch at school, and then went home, he would respond by appraising it in an extremely condescending and smug fashion, as a consequence of being able to wrap his head around a linear, straightforward, and simply described series of narrative events - Pat has found midwit bait irresistible since his days spent associating the practice of jerking off to every lady in Evangelion with high art (this practice likely caused irreversible brain damage). But if you then told him a story in which the child left school and ate lunch at home, he'd spaz out with "YOU EAT LUNCH AT SCHOOL. SCHOOL IS WHERE THE CHILD EATS LUNCH. THAT'S THE RULE. YOU DON'T LEAVE SCHOOL AND EAT LUNCH LATER IN THE DAY - THAT'S SUPPER TIME. YOU DON'T EAT LUNCH FOR SUPPER. THIS KID IS A FUCKIN' ASSHOLE." And then some morons would give Pat money for reacting in this manner.

Note that creatures trained to beg for food this way adopt similar body language:





The MGSV playthrough is also horrible for this reason: Liam plays the game like a retard, Pat reads the story like a bigger retard, and neither are willing to admit to being retarded on camera when confronted with the obvious consequences of being wrong. It took the two of them being as shit, indignant, and obtuse as possible to achieve what comes naturally to Woolie when left to his own devices.

"But...how do bad guy have series of games?? He bad guy"

Not even going to start on the Astro Bot LP, you can read the comments for yourself on that one.

Yeah, it's really painful. Just feels low energy and cynical, like he's checking it out just because it's been getting great reception.

 

[LucasSomething]

Saving this one here for posterity, suzi won't play SH2 remake she doesnt want to support uncreative lazyness lol.



Pretending this is about lazy remakes is hilarious when your last videos were about 3 different capcom remakes and you're going to clap when Code Veronica and RE5 get remakes. This doesn't even make sense because Konami announced many new silent hill games, but i'm sure Suzi would explain it's different when capcom does it.

Also, is Woolie gonna play SH2? He better play before Pat does cause Pat will definitely play on release and hate it for every single thing.

 

[Wild Wild Sonichu]

I watched bits and pieces of the Ace Attorney LP, Woolie keeps bringing up that Edgeworth has his own game series and he seems oddly stuck on that. It's really fucking repetitive.

I'm honestly surprised/impressed he didn't fixate heavily on him being an antagonist that actually goes through character development. Woolie seems genuinely incapable of considering that a character can change through a story, nevermind from his, often incredibly wrong, initial assumption.

"I have my own spinoff games, so ignore how slimey I am in this game! Hahaha!"
"Reggie, did you know Edgeworth gets his own series, despite what a piece of shit he is?"
"Ace Attorney is still happening on the channel, it's funny because Edgeworth is such an asshole, and they're going to make him a main character of his own games!"

 

[stupid frog]

Woolie is a faggot. Edgeworth is great.

 

[Ser Prize]

Surprised Pat is actually trying to network at all, that was always exclusively Matt's job. I'm curious to watch Mandalore talk to Pat but I'm also apprehensive that I'll just grow to dislike Mandalore live and unscripted, especially if he's talking to Pat who I'm sure will try and direct 40k discussion into some weird Twitter clout chasing direction.

Mandy is fun live but yeah, Pat's shit will probably make this horrible.

Probably was not able to get a sponsor in time

 

[LucasSomething]

Probably was not able to get a sponsor in time

I was wondering the reverse and if Suzi won't do it because she doesnt want to get in the way of her capcom sponsorship. She's clearly under a contract to promote capcom stuff since she made videos on non horror games like SF6 and dragon dogma 2.

Maybe she doesnt want to upset capcom for "promoting a rival company horror game". But hey it's just a theory...

 

[CombatMan]

Wow, how comfortable they are posting this really says something about their previous Capcom remake reviews...you know, the ones where they were swallowing Capcom's cock down their throat for their remakes...

The reality is, these pseudo-open minded "liberal" individuals are actually conformists, riding the wave their peers tell them to ride. People hate Konami for what they "did" to Silent Hill - although, let's be real, when your goal is to make a buck, you do what you can to make a buck - and so there's nothing but contempt from these people for Konami.

I also 100% believe they didn't get a key, and they're lashing out. Fucking pathetic person they are.

 

[mrs thickness]

capcom shill doesn't want to promote cynically rehashing and defacing old IPs or companies holding them hostage behind sales benchmarks. yeah sure
