I'm not buying the hotsauce unless I happen to be wherever it's sold, nor did I donate to jobst's gofundme, but I've seen so many posts about it that I want to know. What's it more like? Tobasco, Louisana, or Crystal?
 
What's Karl's home worth? Could he conceivably sell it and downsize to pay this off? if he owes ~1.8M AUS all together that's seriously a big ask. He's got a young family, does the wife even work?
The wife does not work although she might have to now if she doesn't wanna saddle her kid with generational debt.

Or divorce Karl. Imagine having to pay child support and alimony (spousal maintenance as it's called which is a funny name) on top of your massive legal fees debt
32 Ventura Street, Pallara QLD 4110
Goddamn that house is really ugly. Stylish, yes but devoid of character or coziness.

Also goodness how many rooms do they need. They are three people. Tf do you need five bedrooms for?

Evidently Karl is ridiculously retarded with his money. Feels like this amount of excess is compensating for something.
 
Straight up buying expensive daily-consumption things make no sense to me. Even shirt merch is fine; it's something you know is a worse product at higher price. But when they try to go "legit" by selling shit like coffee it's just.. why not make better merch? Elvis did the whole ayyline merch company, selling legitimate clothes while still staying in spirit of his brand.
I think it's partially hubris and partially greed. Hubris in that some content creators believe that being a part of their fan's daily routine in something they consume (coffee, energy drink powder, whatever) regularly is allowing their fans to be closer to them, and that somehow like YouTube "democratized" video to the masses (build it and they will come) you can upend some other industry by making a better product and with your platform of being a content creator you can promote it.

The greed angle of course is that for every fan you have who buys every merch drop you have you probably have a thousand who are fine with owning one tshirt or one mug. You make something that's subscription or consumable the satisfied people will rebuy when the subscription lapses/they run out.

The problem is that most recurring consumption merch you cannot be competitive with Walmart or Target or grocery store supply chains. You are not going to have the volume to demand deep pricing concessions, shipping/handling will eat into your margins too. The end result is that your product is going to be both subpar (to be cheap enough for you and your supplier to make money) and expensive.

Gamersupps as you said is an exception to this, because while it requires specialized equipment to make with a lot of upfront investment (where I can't just buy the stuff to make at home easily) the actual cost per unit for the powder is really low. It's concentrated so you don't get killed on shipping costs. And the general alternatives (canned energy drinks) are generally multiple times more expensive per ounce, so it actually works for the consumer too.

Funny enough, Gamersupps at least has stepped into the land of retarded merch by selling "Gamer Soups" which are basically creator branded instant ramen. While inexpensive to manufacture, ramen is bulky for its light weight, so its expensive to ship. Buying a case of 24 ramen for $36 costs $20 in shipping. Add sales tax in there and you're essentially at $60 for 24 ramen packs or $2.50 per unit, which is completely retarded when I could buy shin ramyun at the local grocery store for less than 60 cents a cup.

(Also I loathe Gamersupps' relentless horny cups and labels. It makes me embarrassed to admit I've ever tried it.)
 
I literally registered to say this: PALLARA? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Bloke lives right next to what is arguably the shittiest suburb in Brisbane (Inala), but if not, it's top 5

Source: I spent 20 years of my godforsaken life in the interminable humidity of (South) Brisbane.
Basically anything south of Sunnybank and west of Springwood can get fucked.
Inala is where you go to get stabbed. Or have your car stolen, if you need to do an insurance job on it.
Woodridge'd do in a pinch, maybe Browns Plains (affectionately known as "Brown Stains" to the locals).

You'd have to be an Andy Ditch-tier drooling retard to try Gamersupps. It's generic cheap Chinese plastic cups with gooner big titty anime art for pornsick losers and """energy drinks""" (vitamin and electrolyte powder) for dumbfucks. It only exists to separate worthless scum who will buy anything if it has boobs from their money. Humanity would be specifically better off if everyone who ever tries it had a bullet put between their eyes.
 
that house is hideous
Modern, crass and sterile enough to skin stray cats. Of course Karl liked it enough to buy it.
I think it nails the style it's going for, but it's definitely not to my liking at all. I don't know what that style is called, but it makes the whole house look like one big oversized hotel room.
Goddamn that house is really ugly. Stylish, yes but devoid of character or coziness.
It's called Modern, and I consider it an off-shoot of Brutalist (both prefer function over form, difference is Brutalist is plain concrete). It's for soulless husks and people who think a banana taped to a wall can be high art. It's also a flavor of what people may call New Money, as it's what all the more recent McMansions are styled in. A problem California has is there are a number of really nice houses of various styles that get bought, demolished, and replaced with these monstrosities. Somewhat recently, there was a dude selling his house and was wanting to find someone who'd keep the house as it is, and it was a good house; and no shit, a Rabbi pretty much says "This is the perfect house to raise my family in" before demolishing it to build a gay McMansion. Now don't get me wrong, he bought the real estate he can do what he wants with it; but the seller made it obvious he wanted to sell it to the right person who'd keep the historical house as it was. Modern society is sick, and the shit architecture is part of the problem.

The same people who mock The Dorito Pope are the same people into GamerSupps (and something about the name makes my autism flare up). Maybe I'm just an old cranky man, but the amount of "Gamer" shit... it doesn't embarass me to say I play videogames, but I roll my fucking eyes at a lot of shit. That being said, I still have the four World of Warcraft cups from ARCO/AMPM; but that's because I was gassing up, and getting a drink and figured why not. Not running around trying to be a gaymer.

I think there’s a difference between getting some memorabilia of a game you like and buying “gamer” products. The whole thing of products marketed to gamers reminds of the idea of “pop culture” that is used to market to nerds.

Instead of liking specific media because of the specific traits they have (e.g. “I like John Carpenter’s The Thing because of the soundtrack, atmosphere, and effects” or “I like Masters of the Universe because of the out there characters and beautiful paintings made for it”), we have people who like 80s stuff, for example, because it’s 80s “pop culture”.

Companies take all these wildly different things and take away all of their individuality by meshing them together into a grey, bland paste. Same with the gamer thing, they think people will buy it because it’s under that “gamer” umbrella instead having any actual merits of its own.

Merch is rent free advertising living in your home, triggering your memory of the product each time you look at it.
Unless items have an actual practical function and the branded price is equal to unbranded competitors, don't buy it.

I get the idea of "art", but it is borderline when companies make it for you, instead of an actual artist.

I've never paid for gamersupps so I really don't have skin in the game. As I said I've tried it. The value prop of at least mixing the powder together isn't terrible compared to energy drinks. Anything deeper gets more subjective.

If you want to call energy drinks slop in general I'd be in agreement.
Maybe I'm just an old cranky man, but the amount of "Gamer" shit
This shit wasn't better really 20 years ago, you had busty generic CGI babes on graphics cards boxes and Fatal1ty (esports champ before that was a thing) promoting soundcards and gamerfood (with some lame ass tag like don't be a noob eat gamerfood to sell you cashews of chaos coated with caffeine powder).

I'd hate to say it "wasn't any better" because the amount of coombait certainly seems a lot worse lately in modern gaming.

I remember those days, maybe the Internet wasn't just as big and full as it is now; things just didn't feel as, soulless, I guess. Whether it's sound cards (lol), controllers or whatever; if a big name gamer uses something, of course they'll be used to market it, and sexy stuff always sells, as detrimental as it feels at times. Just adding "Gamer" to something and marketing it as such is just more soulless than how it used to be.

Gamer Fuel, Gamer Supps, Gamer Chairs, and just so on and so forth. I know what I like, and everyone needs chairs, food, water, etc; there's just a, I want to go back to being a nerd loser virgin than the shit this has become.
 
This is such a weird thing to me. Content creators making "daily use" shit you'd keep buying, except it's overpriced and a novelty. Youtuber coffee is the worst one cause like, coffee is a fucking industry. Cat shit coffee is a thing. Why pay $1 a cup for some hog shit Jacksepticeye put his name on?
In slight defense to Billy this is a product his family had beforehand and a business he was already a part of he just use his fame to help sell, compared to youtubers that just shill other people's shity product or create a product solely to grift
 
Fuck that's brutal lolololol. Honestly all the opportunities Billy gave Lobst to settle stuff before going to court. But Lobst was over confident and continued to make sperged out videos about Billy. While Billy just sat quiet and made sure the one thing that mattered was good to go (his legal case). So I don't blame him and think it's hilarious dragging Karl's through the shit.
 
HOO LEE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK thats brutal. OOOOOOOFFF.
