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

  • 🔧 Actively working on site again.
Hearing all these stories about speedrunning makes me glad I mainly just follow a small subset of Pokemon solo-run speedrunning. It's fairly chill since they're not trying to break world records, just personal ones, no crazy glitch exploits aside from Gen I badge boosting since it's essentially unavoidable and they'll even shout each other out if a particular runner got a comparably impressive time with a pokemon that they couldn't get.
It sounds pointed, but when you get down to the nuts and bolts of it; and if you listen to speedrunners talk about things, you mainly take away that once they start speedrunning, they don't really play a game any other way. When picking up a new game, they don't just go in blind and see what it's about; they go to the proper speed running sources and see what's what. Sure there are things they do to try and shake things up; Carcinogen (as whiney and shitty as he's become) does no damage runs which are cool to watch at times. There's also randomizers which I really don't care for, but is at least something different and requires more knowledge aside from getting from A->Z. But speedrunning at its core is repeating what others have figured out and having a "I know better than you" ego about it.

Once my brain figured that out, I stopped watching them because I just didn't find it appealing. Throw that they have an ego because they read a hyper-fixated FAQ about the game and committed it to memory doesn't make them better. I don't remember what year it was, but one of the GDQs, a dude who was running Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance screwed up and failed to recover. I'm not gonna say if you're skilled enough you can play perfectly 1,000 out of 1,000 times, bad luck does happen; but if you played and learned naturally, instead of copying what others do and just do that over and over, you'll learn more natural skills and recovery and what-not. Instead the dude flopped hard, and I contribute part of that being a lot of speed-running is doing shit over and over and hitting the reset when you fail. There's no practice or anything to get that X-Factor / In the Zone / Critical Adrenaline going; you just hit reset and learn nothing.

Billy should stuff Karl in the Hot Sauce Bottle suit

Oh? I skimmed through some apologist website that supports Karl and it said the damages were near the maximum allowed basically. Maybe the lawyer fees were even bigger. That's just depressing in of itself, lawyers man...

If our legal system wasn't this complex to begin with....
It specifically wasn't near maximum so there was less of a reason for any appeal to change anything. You're also gambling the hundreds of thousands you'll have to pay to even get the appeal will be less than what MIGHT POSSIBLY be lowered (or, it could end up RAISED to the maximum).

Karls smug attitude to the judge, talking about wanting to "punish" billy, and the thousands of comments all over everywhere accusing Billy of murdering this nobody means it was entirely justified. Should have kept crying about joysticks instead of tripling down

From what I heard if you lose a case like this in Australia than you have to pay he other person's attorney fees. Now regardless of what the "maximum allowed" penalty is the longer a case like this goes on the higher the lawyer fees become and at the end of the day someone is going to have to pay those lawyers.

I don't know if this is the case with Karl/Billy but in many cases like this there is what is referred to as payment for "compensatory damages" such as what the court may believe Billy is owed as compensation for the damage Karl did to his reputation. There is also what is called "punitive damages" which is basically the court saying "this is more than is needed to compensate the other person but we're going to make you pay it as punishment because fuck you".

As an example Alex Jones was ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion to the families of Sandy Hook due to statements he made in which he doubted it was a real mass shooting. That's billions with a B. To put it into perspective that is like having to pay a million dollars every single day for over 4 years (1,500 days). This went well beyond trying to compensate the Sandy Hook families and was basically the judge giving a big middle finger to Jones and trying to send a message to other people to not do what Alex Jones did.

Now Alex Jones is not a billionaire. He obviously can't actually pay $1.5 billion so they're probably going to settle for something Alex can actually pay but it will still bankrupt him. The point is you put out an absurd number like that and other political commentators will think "well shit I probably shouldn't make videos doubting that Sandy Hook happened". In a similar way there's probably plenty of YouTubers who will look at the Billy/Karl lawsuit and think twice before accusing someone of causing someone's suicide. The judge probably realizes there are a lot of people looking into this case and wants to send a message "don't do what Karl did".

300 000 out of 400 000 if Im not mistaken. That's near the maximum for me.

It's pretty stupid to me that someone can be held liable for what other retards online say if you never said it yourself. Imagine where Null would be then? And this forum? To my knowledge he accused him of directly causing his suicide, not murdering him.


I want to have the freedom of speech to say "you caused someones suicide" without risking to lose my house. Now Karls problem was that he was extra special and had to add "because of the money you got from him in court". Thats a lie and should be defamatory. Is it 300 000 worth? No? But its all relative.


Now here's where we really will disagree (probably). To me the judge is your typical small dicked authoritarian prick who didn't appreciate Jobsts autistic attitude while BIlly probably played it very smooth, he's afterall quite the manipulative, charismatic guy. And the Judge ruled partly based on that he didn't feel Jobst respected him or the court enough.

It doesn't make Jobst less retarded for not playing the social game for once, but he could have perhaps learned from it and done better on appeal.


I'll let you or someone else have the last word since I really don't know more than this, and I'm sorry if I'm not fully informed even on what I'm saying in this post, its just some late night opinionating.

Karl did say it and made no attempt to stop his little retard fans from repeating it for all those years. It eventually spread to people that never saw the video where Karl originally said it and that helped prove the damage Karl did. All he had to do was correct himself after he was told he was wrong by multiple people that actually knew the details of Apollo's case and apologize but he refused to for four years.

The only thing the judge did wrong was not make Karl pay more.

Just buy the hot sauce.

I'll ask you to source it, you won't source it but sperg out in a slapfight and this will get nowhere. But I'll ask you anyway and you can prove me wrong and I'll retract everything. Where did he say he say Billy *murdered* Apollo? Is there any source to this?

edit: or you'll cop out and tell me I'm not giving you the last word instead of actually providing a source.
 
I know how unpopular this is going to be, but I think Karl should resort to e-begging as well as churning out slop. Most e-beggars (looking at you Pat the NES Punk) are sitting on goldmines of money and rare and expensive games, but Karl doesn't have those things. It's not even that exploitative because he still has loyal fans who are okay with it. He should also sponsor Ricky Sauce to possibly manipulate Mitchell into softening the blow.

He probably won't want to do any of these things, especially the last one, but since when is prescribing cures about what the patient wants rather than needs? I'm not even suggesting doing what Dunkey did for a few weeks when he was trying to be like Markiplier, where he had to maintain a grating schedule of popular games, contests, and drama.

Just make videos about old influential speedrunners from the 2000s and keep dredging up by-now-outdated examples of "naughty cheater bad". His fans won't care if it's late, it only matters to them when it's him doing it. If he can't think of anything, just steal content and ideas from other creators, re-word things, change the focus at parts, and read it in his voice to make it distinct enough.

And if there's only one new time-saving trick, YouTube has a solution for you- Shorts. Just make shorts for individual strategies and make longer videos for history things and old, pre-SDA websites and things like that. Be sure to use a new time-saving strategy by possibly getting friends/fans to do your editing for you, and if all else fails, use AI or slightly modify old videos to make it count as a new one.

Anything I'm missing? Karl is in MoUnTaInS oF dEbT that would trigger Moviebob's Surprised Face. He needs to become more like a machine, a total digestive tract of the internet that churns out shit while enriching himself in the process, DSPing it up through video output volume and e-groveling. Put yourself in his shoes- he can't afford not to. Don't think you wouldn't-or shouldn't-do the same.
 
Billy retweeting approachhernow.com stuff is the funniest shit to me. He has to lurk here, right?
One of the biggest things that turned me off speed-running, mainly because my gaming autism manifests to the perfection/100% completion route instead of the absolute fastest. Then you get clipping, glitches, and a number of other things that can skip up to 90% of the game depending on what's the point. Then you watch other speed runners and realize while there are a few who theorize and test and what-not; most of it is just people who never learned how to play the game, trying to recreate what someone already did but faster. Their ego is another problem; someone did the math, proved their work, and this is the correct and only way to play...

No wonder they have a tranny problem; their form of autism is terminally gay.
I actually really like the technical autism behind breaking the game, both because I can potentially use it myself and because I appreciate how people figure this shit out. Making this the norm for speedruns tho, that's fucking gay, which is why No RNG manipulation/Glitchless Speedruns are still the best.

As fucking trash as billy is, this is top notch comedy as of late. Their really is no way around it. Karl came in so confidently then got smashed so utterly that even someone like billy gets a bit overlooked at the level of shit he was for this brief moment. Man I used to outright dislike Billy given his track record of trash behavior. But I cant lie this has really showing me how goddam hilarious he can be.

Unironically was thinking this, if only to soften the dollar amount Karl owes; he can pay the court costs and all that, but the settlement, would unironically try to work out a deal to not get hit as hard. But this is Karl, a guy who most likely ignored all mediation attempts and legal warnings that it's better to settle before trial; and if he ignored the warnings and went to battle, Billy has every right to take him to the cleaners.
 
Being a begging/slop channel is no worse than shaming your family by leaving them with generational debt. It's no worse than the things that lost him the court case. At this point he has no integrity. Might as well have money.

The high judgement is Karl's idiot tax for doubling down instead of just apologizing and saying he was wrong. Karl made himself look like a vindictive asshole in a case where being a vindictive asshole gets you punished harder. Honestly I think you're kinda underselling that Karl essentially accused Billy of murder on a large stage and people were calling Billy a murderer. That's the kind of thing you should get in trouble for.
It's worse than that, he doubled down and actively lied in his discord for some sort of gay ops when he knows people have their eyes on him. He is actively proving Billy and the judge right and ruining what little remains of his reputation out of spite.

He's gonna shit his pants, talk about it on discord and do nothing. In his eyes, he did nothing wrong, debt or no.

Oh absolutely, if he keeps his ego in check I can see this being his comeback. He's gonna shill his win over Karl and turn it into a pile of coins just like he did with his Donkey Kong record and hot sauce brand.

You know what guys, I think we need to show Karl a little empathy in this situation. Litigation is a stressful process and we should use him as an example by seeing how he treated Apollo after he settled.

Oh, so as soon as Apollo announced the settlement, Karl immediately dunks on him to hype himself up.

Four days after was when he kicked around the idea of doing a downfall of apollo video.

Interesting that he used Apollo’s settlement and death for shock value in his videos considering he had little empathy for the guy during this stressful period of his life.

He still maintained this Apollo should have fought Billy months after.

Him saying that Apollo would be fine with 28k shows how naive Karl was about litigation.

It’s insane how these people dogpiled Apollo after the settlement, especially having the hindsight of Karl losing and knowing that Apollo made the right call to settle.

Did some digging, and found that Karl for whatever reason has a private company.

The address is listed at QLD 4077, which covers the suburbs Richlands and Doolandella in Brisbane. Searching that alongside "Jobst", I can say that Karl has successfully been phonebooked.

$2,650,000 in 2012? Damn, where did Karl get that kind of money back then?
