I do wonder if that helped him without him knowing it.
Blah blah blah, every mental illness is different, but hear me out.
I think with mild mental illness it really helps to have a system where you need to act like a human being even if you don't feel like one. You have to get up at normal times, you know when it's a normal time to go to bed, someone will suggest dinner at a normal time so you don't just eat cheetos all day. And I also would put money on miles not taking his shit. I don't think he would mean or aggressive or start shit, but I bet he was very willing to call out spoony if he was acting like an asshole.

Or maybe Miles did what most of Noah's fans have already done - given up on him. You can't help where no one is asking you to.

I saw her twitter profile. There is absolutely no mention of him. So they have either broken up or she realizes what a loser he is and doesn't mention him at all.

It's definitely the latter.
LOL at "You don't know me as well as you think you do. And you don't want to." Okay, Coldsteel the Hedgespoon. You're a basic bitch angry fedora tipper with Trump Derangement Syndrome and you have fuck all going on in your life except tweeting in the dark. And when you post tryhard shit like that you come across as an edgy twelve year old.

After over a year and a half, Noah has returned to the Persona series and has spent the last two days tweeting profusely about Persona 3, 4, 5 and their anime (these are just a handful of the first tweets):
He's also created a new shitty hashtag for the first time in (I think) years:
He's already made about ten and is churning out more by the hour.

My guess is that he thinks these shitty twitter memes are just as good as him making a well produced review or a clever joke.
Also, Psychonauts kinda did the same thing with combating one's inner demons an I've never heard anyone bitch about it like spoony just did. Maybe it's just a weak segue for him to remind that he's got mental problems and we should feel bad for him, I dunno.

I was thinking about it and if Noah got his shit together (now here me out) and reviewed an easy target like Tek War.
It could pave the way for a redemption arc. If he was smart of course which we know he isn't.

I think a lot of people on this thread feel the same way. There is still definitely an audience for Spoony content but hell will freeze over before he drags himself in front of a camera. If an unfunny spaz like Linkara can rake in $2.6k on Patreon (I actually checked expecting it to be like $1k at a push, fuck me, who is giving these people all this NEET welfare) then Noah can absolutely crush that if he puts out content on the regular.
Think a few people earlier in the thread mentioned that he has been left behind in terms of production values and editing but I think that's bullshit. He had a good sense of humor and was a natural in front of a camera which is way more valuable than a 4K camera and fancy editing a lot of these bland soy boys use. Just look at RLM and half in the bag. Its mostly a bunch of guys talking shit for 40 minutes and people eat that up because of the personalities, not fancy editing.

It's almost like the same stimuli gives a diminishing return on that dopamine rush or something
Spergs, likely some of them are getting actual tugboats and giving away taxpayer money to these NEETS

Thanks for the image of a tugboat ferry port where all boats have the same destination: The Spoony Experiment.
If Noah ever "came back", his manifesto couldn't be sincere or apologetic enough to atone for all the disappointment. Those spergs are the only people he can leech off, everyone else moved on, P.T. Barnum was right. His utter refusal to consult doctors plus the lack of someone to kick his ass into motion added with April's enabling presence is an infinite negativity cycle. And with every other pseudo wrestling RP or anti Trump tweet he drifts further away from any chance of rehabilitation. While DSP embraced the hate and capitalized on it, Spoony's idiotic sense of pride prevents even that option, which in turn enables other YTers to capitalize on his misery.

The problem with this IMO is that he was once at the cutting edge (to put it melodramatically) of making good/exposé content on these types of games, to an audience of whom many did not know much about them beyond their name/reputation, or if they did play, didn't dive in as deeply and over-analyse it like the content creator did. Nowadays you're competing against relevant creators who have years of back-content in the same types of games, who are ahead in the algorithm and are improving with every video. Finding a bad game to turn into a meme is almost impossible nowadays and undermines some of the cult following that the first generation developed. Even if they did it anyway, the excitement would be gone because a casual treatment of a subject based purely on enthusiasm/over-investment is hard to maintain, sort of how low-energy AVGN became, but Spoony will suffer more because he was always more edgy and I don't think can turn on his mature/dad side and develop his persona like James has.

Ok what the fuck I just made an account entirely to say this. Joker is a sociopath? Kuromaru is an evil dog because of his darkness powers? Glad to see Spoony making Persona characters of all things about himself.
Fuck Spoony.

This is something I too neglect to think about, Spoony is 39 closing in on 40. That isn't exactly a spring chicken in this days internet couple that with as you said now younger and frankly more tech savy reviewers, Spoony would be fighting an uphill battle. Even if Spoony brings back his old self and spits fire like he used to if not better, most people won't care because his videos are stuck in an era we have long since left behind. I said before if he picked himself up, sat down, and worked his ass off to re build what he had, he might have a shot, but at this point he will never be as big, plus many games franchises he is known for have basically been picked up by other reviews, he has nothing, hes starting from square one. I think that plays into his anxiety in a way, he knows hes a relic, he's not current or up to date with how youtube or any site operates anymore,so I fear that even if he did by some miracle of god come back, the only ones who would notice would be us, he doesn't have his site, his subs are basically dead, he no longer has the backing of Channel Awesome, he's burnt every bridge he has, and the only thing he has left is a girl friend who I feel more and more would rather be anywhere but there, and a dog.
Spoony is some kinda Shakespearean tragedy in that sense, a man who worked his fingers to the bone to rise above to a new level only for his avarice to lead him down a cold road of pain, anger, and self loathing hatred.

You know, I remember hearing that Spoony HATES editing his videos and that became harder and harder for him to do.
A shame. At 5,000 bucks a month, he probably could have paid someone to do the editing for him or maybe even build a solid infrastructure around himself to take care of the things he isn't a fan of doing. Oh well.
Again, if he didn't have his head up his ass, he could have figured some of this stuff out.

He actually tried to hire a video editor in 2010 but gave up because of the cumbersome physical logistics that would've been required since he had no means of remotely sharing countless gigs of footage. I'm sure it'd be trivial today, but it's interesting to note that he did try.

That is susprising, thanks for elaborating on it - I would have assumed Spoony to be one of those many Angry Joe/Yandere Dev-type people who are so precious that only they can do true justice to the inner-workings their content, and hiring others would be creative suicide and kill the magic of their creation (or some such nonsense).

Most of his later videos didn't need any editing ... or scripts ... or rehearsals
Remember when Counter Monkey started turning into a mess where Spoon-Spoon would faf about with books for a good part of the video, or constantly go on irrelevant tangents ?
He could have been a much better D&D 'story teller' with a bit more effort and preparation.

Watch his last Reb Brown movie review. Even most of his jokes were reused from previous years. Hell, even his Final Fantasy 13 video looked like he forgot how he was making his reviews about other installments, watched his own videos and came to conclusion that he was simply nitpicking and swearing and somehow it was fun.
Also, people who think that he can just come back seem to ignore couple of things. First - people, who were watching him just moved on and "fresh blood" is going to compare him to new reviewers, which will only make him look more outdated. Second - he is now bitter unfunny asshole in his late 40s. Not the best person to make funny videos about Games and movies. And finally third - his public image has drastically changed over the years. People know him not as "that guy that made funny videos years before", but as "that asshole, who squandered 5000 dollars a month for Twitter sperging and hates his own fans". Even if he manages to put some video, people would rather joke that it only took him that long and not laugh at the video itself. It's like if DSP would suddenly stream a racing game, where he blames only himself, tries to improve and interacts with chat on ok level. People would just say, that he wants more money.
