Karl Jobst / karljobst / FAQ_GOD / simthreat / approachhernow.com - Albino autist, Spergy speed runner, Pickup predator and Bitch of Mitchell

It is all very autistic, but the evidence gathered does make some good points, only all those things could be way in the past if people would stop making a big deal out of it and Billy stopped trying to silence people talking about these cheating allegations with lawsuits.

Ironically, in Karl's quest to be the one to take down Billy, he's effectively made Billy untouchable. The whole saga is over, the only people left giving a flying fuck about the "cheating" is Karl, his dents, and the crazy stalkers like Ersatz.

Anyone who tries to bring this up again in the future is going to draw automatic comparisons to Karl Jobst, that failed ex-pickup artist that tried to blame Billy Mitchell for his own friends making some guy kill himself and drew in donation money under the pretense that he was being sued for calling Billy a cheater.
 
It's not like Billy got famous after he used MAME and submitted it as if it was original hardware, which Billy kept claiming was original hardware for years. Billy's original hiscores in the 80s were legit and the cheating allegations didn't come until the 2000s when his "submitted Donkey Kong hiscore" was found to not have been played on original hardware. By this time, Billy was already established with his businesses and other accolades.

People wouldn't have gotten such a hate boner for Billy had he not been a litigious cunt who threatened to sue anyone calling him a cheater. However, autists like Jobst and the rest of the speedrunning spergs can't leave this shit alone. Billy is an old fag who hasn't been the best Donkey Kong nor Pac-Man player in close to 20+ years.

To make it comparable to Jobst, it would be like crying over some guy who got the first world record in Goldeneye back in like 2000 and still seething about it to the present day because he cheated.....despite tons of players passing that record.
 
Everyone already knows this to be true anyway, reporting about it further is completely pointless.
It is like reporting about some long forgotten wannabe eSports pro who was caught wallhacking on a LAN in 2005.

Nobody gives a shit anymore.
People also seem to conflate him with Todd Rogers, another early record holder (that has been proven a cheat) and the old Twin Galaxies staff who were all buddy buddy and would put everything they submitted on the books.

Personally, Billy has that attitude that rubs me the wrong way so I've never like him much. That said, Karl deserves every bit of anal abuse Billy is about to give him.
 
LMAO! He didn't take so long to release his non-apology video because of lawyers, faulty Internet, or any other bullshit.

He wanted to make sure he had a main-line channel video to drop immediately after the non-apology.

>takes 2+ weeks to explain his own lawsuit over shitty Minecraft footage
>2 days later, drops a fully edited and completed video


You can't fool me, Karl!

Yeah he hasn't learned a damn thing. The judge has already dick slapped him for that type of obtuseness, like hiding his non-retraction at the end of a Dark Souls video. I hope he does appeal because it will be really funny for another judge to CHAOS DUNK on him a second time.

That's too generous to the Billy haters. The claim they make is that Billy Mitchell is a "fraud" and basically his 40+ years of game scores are a gigantic hoax, akin to 10,000 different hoax moon landings.

I don't even consider playing on emulators "cheating", just a rules violation. But whatever. None of his peers or competitors ever had their games scrutinized to 1/1,000,000th the degree Billy's were. If they were, it's a safe bet that many of them were doing the same thing.

You can find tons of videos of Billy, in recent years, at the retro arcades, setting records on the original machines, playing in front of huge crowds.

 
The theory which makes the most sense is that Billy Mitchell used a custom cabinet which could play several of the key games that Billy plays, but Billy and whoever put it together didn't know about the leaderboard autism which would mean that using MAME in the cabinet would make Billy's scores ineligible for his preferred leaderboard. Billy plays some otherwise legitimate games on the cabinet, the scores are submitted, and everything is fine until Todd Rogers is exposed for his literally impossible scores. People make bank off videos exposing him, they all start hunting for more scalps, one of them chance upon the individual stray frames in Billy's high score videos which indicate MAME was used, and they spin a "he cheated!" narrative.

Whether or not Billy realized the machine uses MAME aside, since this is all just a theory, it doesn't wholesale invalidate all his scores like people would have you believe. Considering there's no proof that MAME gave Billy any advantages and Billy has since recreated the scores on original hardware, the "cheater" narrative is indefensibly flimsy at best and bad faith bullshit at worst.

The 2007 one being confirmed to use modified eight-way hardware via actual images from the event means he did cheat (knowingly or not) in one record, yet… he got it legit in 2010 anyway so it doesn’t matter.

Actually, wasn’t Karl arguing the same thing when Dream cheated his Minecraft bullshit? “Oh he didn’t realize he was cheating, he dindu nuffin!” Looking back, it makes him even more hypocritical than before.
 
ProJared endured a PR trashfire of similar proportions and managed to vindicate himself i.e. survived it rather unsinged compared to Jobst, but his channel never grew again to this day and he's sitting at ~100k views compared to previous ~1mil, for comparison. Jobst is fucked and if he doesn't have a secret stash of jewgold to sell for those court costs he should consider begging Billy for mercy as I think Billy cares more about making him his bitch than money.
Every time I read one of these "mercy" posts I imagine king billy wearing a laurel wreath and everyone waiting for a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Which would make the crowd cheer louder?

Was it proven to be an 8-way? I think that it was only proven to be red, which could mean that it was an 8-way. Notice the sleazy way Karl phrases things. It is more probable that the original joystick got broken and was replaced by a red one with the same functionality. It is even possible to introduce diagonal inputs in the original Donkey Kong? You should probably need to program the game for that, and if the code was written for a 4-way joystick, why would it even accept diagonal inputs?

It doesn’t accept diagonal inputs, it accepts both directions at a rate faster than you humanly could input them. It genuinely affects the game when it comes to a relatively obscure mechanic called barrel steering, where you can influence where the barrels are dropped. It’s been autistically confirmed that the one used is identical with a modern eight-way. Whether he used the mechanic or not, it definitely was not actual legit hardware, yet again it doesn’t actually matter because he got it on legit hardware anyway three years later, so accidentally “cheating” one time isn’t actually important.

I believe the issue is the original machine makes you reset to a neutral position before changing direction and an 8-way stick would allow you to change directions much faster.

Definitely a lie and a rules violation but he probably didn't understand the gravity of the situation. Who would expect you'd get speedrunning autists half your age dedicate their entire lives to destroying you?
 
Don't know if this has been mentioned before but the Youtuber LUS who made videos and livestreams on the case is a non binary "They/Them" who spergs out at people about the correct pronouns in his streams about Jobst.

I watched a total of two videos made by LUS, had no interaction with them as I found them to be extremely mundane, yet now this spastic homo's community posts keep popping up on my YouTube feed. None of his posts are about Billy vs. Karl, and instead is all just sperging about tariffs and deportations.

That's surprising, the guy is a grifter who used to go by MTGLion that then became Umu after he was banned from Magic the Gathering for being a hecking right wing Trump supporting Nazi. He's constantly shilling new schemes and makes the same slop content every day on his channels.
