[Things Better Forgotten]

With what I have learned about finances thanks to DSP I would wager Spoony having 10 credit cards makes sense. Plus since Spoony claims to not like the idea of handouts I bet that his massive and rising credit card debt is one of his big causes of woe is me bullshit. A lot of his posts talking about how much worse things are getting makes sense if you consider the context of rising credit card debt. Spoony's ego of course would not allow for him to speak openly about such a thing as it would make him feel even worse about it.

Counterpoint: if he had all kinds of credit card debt he would be whining about it for sympathy on twitter, then turning away anyone who tried to help him.

I'm actually not sure about that. He seems happy to whine about some problems and just totally ignore others. April breaking up with him is a matter of public importance, but he hasn't even mentioned his house being foreclosed and didn't complain about not being able to pay his mortgage in the months preceding.

Credit card debt is also something you can accumulate for years before a bank will come after you for it so it's possible he just takes it for granted like he does with his Patreon.

 

[grandpasatan]

Witnessing him meltdown and ask a customer if they want fries with that in the Ultimate Warrior's voice would make my day.

I'll give him this: With how hyped he was on these old Wendy's videos, he might find out it's been what's been missing from his life all these years.

Either way, Twitter is really what brought down Spoony. This was a guy who should have just kept his mouth shut and closed his account for good, because he's definitely not good with people, less so with his critics and is absolute dogshit at socializing.

Just thought I'd stop the thread and bring some attention to this quote here. It encapsulizes Spoony's main problem - he's shit with people, gets easily irked by even the most innocuous of criticism, and doesn't like having limits imposed upon what he can say and do. Giving him a twitter account is like giving a monkey with severe tremors a gallon bottle of nitroglycerin. Twitter is practically designed to bring about the downfall of men like Spoony - something he should have recognized the first time he got in trouble for tweeting his mouth off- and if he had to use it at all, it should only have been for the announcing of new content, special appearances, etc.

 

[Cpl. Long Dong Silver]

With this in mind, I don't think Noah has gone that far into debt but it wouldn't surprise me if he has already streched beyond the PONR.

I first read this as "stretched beyond the Pontar" and now I'm picturing Spoony as Radovid.

 

[Justtocheck]

Yeah. I think that Spoony in theory only will complain about problems which will arouse "sympathy" in his warped sense of reality. Health issues, Hating trump and christianity (if you are into that in 2020). Some political isues that you sorta could get behind if you were lefty or eDgY enough... etc. But just lettng people know you've accumulated massive amounts of interest in your cards just doesn't strike the same chords.

Though perhaps it's all a posture and he could be getting secretly aid from his family and eating canned beans. We really don't know that. Perhaps he saves money and spends what little he has on stuff? mmm... who knows.

With Trump's acquittal, I've expected more of a chimpout from Noah. Like an impromptu tantrum on Livewire or something. His rambles can't usually be confined to 280 character limits. Many of us couldn't see him working at the Burger World counter since he is indeed a belligerent exceptional surrounded by enablers. Picture Spoonster arguing with a customer over the amount of pickles on the patty and why he stipulates his amount as the right one, or refusal to serve republicans, or calling in sick cuz President Orange tweeted another boo-boo. I think the best for him would be something at the assembly line. He mustn't interact with others (much) and has to do a dreary task that'll relieve him of his Twitterlanches. As a matter of fact, his ancient CSD won't get him much better jobs. Not unless his parents or Miles hook him up.

Things go really slow atm, but it doesn't matter cuz he's still OUR Spoony Experiment. The experiment to find out how low a lolcow can go before extinction, what fresh idiocy they can sporadically produce, and what a valuable example they can set for us regarding life - That includes idle periods. Looking forward to April (the month) giving him another push towards the cliff, and wether or not he crashes at Brad's or which of the bootlickers will spring to his longwinded rescue.

Minor powerlevel but if you've ever worked an assembly line you'll know that people chat while they're going about those dreary tasks. After a point it's just muscle memory. You're not dealing with customers sure, but people bullshit with each other constantly. The fact that he wouldn't be allowed to have his phone on the floor is exactly why he wouldn't be suited for the work.

It could be regional, but most people I've met doing plant work are pretty conservative. Ranging from the average person that voted for Trump because "dear god not Hillary" to the guys who's F-150 is covered with Christian Motorcycle Association and Lock Her Up stickers. Even if he could get past his crippling attachment to twitter, being confronted by people who disagree with him would prompt some outburst and he'd be out of a job just like that.

 

[BScCollateral]

Following Spoony makes me understand why sloth is one of the deadly sins. Not only is it self-destructive, it wastes the sympathy and concern of good people who might otherwise devote themselves to less-hopeless causes.

Now we're both guilty of powerleveling, but yes, I worked on an assembly line before. People do talk there indeed, and he wouldn't be online at all, but my point is, it's exactly what he needs; A cold withdrawal with forced real social interaction. Meeting other jerks who think highly of themselves and landed there. Cuz god help me if there's some scrap of optimism left about Noah, it's that he oughta get that one worktime experience that'll shake all the shit loose from his head. Learn to swim or sink. Provoke the fuck outta him. Make him reach his limits. Then he'll finally have a legit reason to complain, for crying out loud

I only know Spoony’s history from the Down The Rabbit Hole video, can anyone tell me what exactly made him so mad that he stopped making his regular videos and shut down his forum? That seems like the start of his downward spiral but I don’t know why he did it.

 

[RJ MacReady]

It wasn't any one reason, and people can only speculate based on Noah's behaviour and what he's said.

The general consensus is that he gave up on making edited content due to a mixture of poorly treated depression + bipolar, habitual procrastination, famously abysmal work ethic and an inability to handle the pressure he brought on himself with Patreon, all of which fed a rising addiction to Twitter. He shut down comments on his videos because they became increasingly overwhelmed by fans lashing out at him for not fulfilling his promises.

The forums didn't die until years later due to a technical error that Noah wasn't interested in fixing because he'd long abandoned them by then. The Spoony Experiment website itself later shut down because he stopped paying the hosting bill.

I would personally add the group of fanboys that enable his mental illness as one of the main reasons why Noah only gets worse and worse. Spoony is extremely arrogant and when his exceptional circlejerk of fans only feeds his self-satisfaction, you have a perfect cocktail of autism. Would Noah still be a mess even without this circlejerk? Maybe, but he also would realize that people don't like him and put more effort in his content to feed his ego

Maybe, but he also would realize that people don't like him and put more effort in his content to feed his ego

I think it's more likely that he would've given up. It requires a minimum desire for self-improvement to better yourself to deal with adversity. Egotists by definition struggle to admit fault.

One thing I've long noticed about Spoony is that he's always been smug about being a "troll" and antagonising people but his entire career shows he's thin-skinned, can't handle dissent and blows up when someone actually does confront him. He's been coddled by people with no expectations for him for his entire life, and it shows in how his behaviour doesn't seem to have changed since he was in high school.

Even if Spoony moves back into the financial womb of his parents' house (or more likely, sponges off Miles's sweet early retirement money) he will have a hard time returning to independence. A foreclosure is no joke. It will fuck whatever's left of Spoony's credit, and that can make all the difference when apartment hunting or financing a car that isn't a busted road hazard.

He's also close to 40, with nothing on a resume except decayed skills and "Made funny videos once."

Noah's gonna face some problems. And of course, it's all Trump's fault.

His enablers either have Stockholm syndrome or they're complete masochists. Chances are it probably both.

I doubt Miles will let him sponge off him. Working and contributing to the house will most likely be one of the conditions for moving in. I'm guessing his parents made the same conditions otherwise he would have moved already.

And through taking on these responsibilities, Noah finally learns the error of his ways. Household chores and mopping the floor at Kroger puts him on the road to recovery and contributing to society. He eventually finds an avenue that gets him back on his medicine.

I'm kidding. Noah will throw blame around and blow up Twitter till he's out on his ass.

This is so melodramatic holy shit.

Fucking hell, Noah.

Lemme find a bow small enough so I can play it for you.

This is so melodramatic holy shit.

"But I will continue vaguebooking how sad I am to malk your sympathy. Stop sympathizing, it doesn't help me."

Thirty nine years old. Almost forty and posting things that would shame a 13 year old emo. God. Even his line casts for sympathy don't make sense anymore. If there's nothing anyone can do, even himself, then great. You just gave the go ahead for everyone except warthog (who's just obsessed) to not care.

Hell, Spoonsters such a rut of content his orbiters are going to become the lolcow, especially the tweetstorms that will come if he does kick the bucket. I dont think she has access to contact April but I wouldn't be shocked if people like ol'warty try to shame people that used to be connected to Noah and put his death on their hands.

This is so melodramatic holy shit.

I love how people are just trolling him now.

This is so melodramatic holy shit.

I love how one of his biggest successes is his FFVIII series where names Squall "Emo Git" bashing on him the all time for being broody and now he's going down the same route.

It's like life imitating art.

Had 5 minutes spare so made this

Don't TELL me how to wallow in self-pity.

Jon completely ignored him and is still going as I post this. I almost can't blame Spoony here: This is the kind of long-winded, self-important autism that nobody reads ever.

Seems like Spoony and his asspatters are just yelling "Please stop" at each other.
It's a good thing he doesn't have a trust fund or else this would go back and forth for decades.
It reminds me of that story about the abandoned Quake 3 Arena server that just had two bots constantly fighting in a simultaneously epic and pointless stalemate, 24 hours a day, for years.
The foreclosure can't come soon enough.

I think this is because he's so adversarial: Leaping Wizards, The Jedi Hunter, the Vampire LARP, having a dragon circle in the air and spam its breath weapon until he gets a TPK, etc. It all sounds like him being a smartass.

He used to talk about not being able to keep a group together or find a campaign that was "serious" enough for his tastes. Don't think that's a coincidence.

Was pretty unfair of him. Squall functioned pretty well during his depressive phase, and didn't whine about losing big sis constantly on a personal blog. He was also not lazy.

If Spoony was like Squall, he wouldn't be in this situation. He'd still have April and he'd be putting out content.

He's more like a broke Norg.

Hes probably that DM with a super linear story who gets buttmad the second the players try something he didnt account for, and subsequently punishes them for it.

This is a new one. Instead of shitting on a game for attention, he's expressing how afraid he is to shit on a game because people will be mean to him. It's like 4D attention whoring.

The most simple but important distinction.

Squall has a job. With a regular paycheck and everything.

EDIT: Actually I'll go even further. Even at the lowest point of Squall's journey, he still kept on getting his paycheck and as far as I'm concerned, if your employer keeps paying you, it means you're doing something worth their time. Even when TIME KOMPRESSED and the world was all fucked up, he still found the time to fill out his timesheets before payday. Squall had work ethic Spoony wishes he had!

Spoony seems like the guy that tries to create a character whose sole purpose is to break the gms setting. Then when he fucks up the game he blames the gm and says his setting is bad or he's a bad gm.
