Let's Players originating from Something Awful - ft. VoidBurger, General Ironicus, Bob Kamoc

I'm sure you guys remember BillyMc from the retsupurae videos. Well that saga is gone now. Honestly really sucks since I liked those videos What a bitch though, people liked him and he couldn't have possibly getting that much shit if at all after all this time

What a good sport and not a bitch made loser Billy is. Just change your handle or whatever. The videos are only going to get rehosted anyway.

I am legit sad to see what an unbelievable loser Slowbeef has become. Those videos were hilarious, some of the best stuff they ever produced, even the later ones where they riff on Billy's weird LPs with Lime Popsicle. They decided to stop picking on the guy way back when, which was a decision I respected at the time but leave the videos up for crying out loud.
 
What's the point of having the videos taken down? They're nearly a decade old and Retsupurae is dead anyway.

Because Billy's always been more hypersensitive to criticism than the average threaded cow on here. Out of all the people RP went after, he got some of the most kid-gloved treatment and still spent years bitching about how 'toxic' RP fans are for quoting lines from the RP vids. Years after any trolls lost interest, he made a video complaining that his audience treated him like a cute kid and that he was a full grown man who needed to be treated with respect (I think this was around the time he started making videos reviewing cookies/candy and other shit).

I can't think of anyone else that even the later, 'we ask permission to talk about you', de-balled RP walked on eggshells to this degree for.

What the fuck are they talking about? Everybody fucking loved "BillyMC". That shit played like a redemption arc. Who on that channel hated him?

Nobody, probably. Billy was most likely embarrassed and seized the opportunity to convince a now-spineless Slowbeef to take it down.
 
Since some Retsupurae that was apparently ready to go up in March was mentioned, I looked up what their last one was.
It was posted in July of last year and lasted all of 2 parts before getting abandoned, no videos since.
Slowbeef unlisted those videos from the RP channel for some reason. So now the newest video on their channel is from March 2018.

No explanation on twitter for why. Maybe he just realized it was piece of shit. King's Quest 7 is still up, so being an unfinished series isn't the reason.

He also recently unlisted "Retsutalk Episode 85: Reboot?", which got mentioned here a while ago:
Slowbeef himself is incapable of not bringing politics into everything. I've always gotten the impression that Diabetus wants avoid controversial subjects like politics.
In fact, I think I remember Slowbeef mentioning in an old Retsutalk that Diabetus had said to him that it's better to keep to non-serious stuff for tweets (and Slowbeef actually said that he agreed, something which he evidently went back on).

On the last Retsutalk they did Slowbeef autistically mentioned that he saw the Angry Birds movie, then unironically claimed that the fringe leftist conspiracy theory that the film is racist, anti-immigration propaganda is legitimate, to which Diabetus awkwardly cracked a joke.
That's how far gone Slowbeef is: he thinks that fucking Angry Birds is far-right propaganda.

I am kind of morbidly curious to see how them doing Retsupurae again would go given Slowbeef's spiral into far-left extremism and the current political climate.
Or, to be more accurate - I'm interested to see how it would eventually crash and burn; will Diabetus drink the Cool Aid or will Slowbeef's lunatic leftist friends rip him apart for not buying in to their cult?
Diabetus definitely seems to be on the left side of political spectrum and has voiced some SJW-esque opinions in the past, so there is precedence for him becoming as pathetic as Slowbeef now is.

I was looking up other videos that RP took down, and found this 2013 post by slowbeef that made me laugh.

Grow up.

You posted something creative. You're supposed be taking a risk that people won't like it. Guess what happened.

You start about how this "hurt your feelings" and now you're acting like a big-shot douche about it. Get over yourself. If everyone was given a cookie and a thumbs-up for trying, the whole creative process wouldn't be worth anything.

I'm going to wonder what happens if you ever try to write a book, make a movie, or pitch a game to a developer, because if 3 guys making silly jokes hurts your feelings so bad, Lord help you when you get turned down by professional publishers, or reviewers, etc. And believe me, they WON'T make jokes.

In short, you're acting like a wimp. Knock it off.

Oh, your video's down already.

 
Damn, that's sad. Slowbeef has always been an arrogant, insufferable hypocrite, but I wonder what exactly made him go from "Grow up and learn how to take some criticism" to "Oh, a bunch of videos I made a decade ago are hurting your fe-fes? I-I'm so sorry, I'll take them down right away."

It came out he raped and murdered a girl in 1990.
 
People with no work experience.
His background is good though, just reading his linkedin he comes across as a competent manager in software dev. Putting your GPA seems insecure.

One thing I find kind of ironic though is that he's a mid level manager at FOX, which means he's ultimately helping make Rupert Murdoch richer.

:feels:

Then he's probably not proud of the quality of his work. Knowing management gigs he's better at smoozing than getting work done.

Of course it could easily just be an ego trip, too.

He has to pretend to be a good person to appeal to the socjus crowd he's courting. He couldn't give a fuck about how BillyMC feels about the Retsupurae videos, this is all performative.
 
Maybe he does already. He probably lurks this thread, at least (Slowbeef and the other freaks likely do, too).
Lurks? No. But I don't doubt they come in here once or twice a month to see what's up.

...Well, I guess that's also considered "lurking" but if they are reading this, it would be nice to hear their side of things. From what I can tell, the general consensus is just that Slowbeef has slowly gone nutters along with Voidburger and maybe Ironicus, and everyone else was just tied to the screaming lunatics.

As someone who used to be fans of all three, among many other people in the LP subforum:

Ironicus was always liberal arts level of woke, even back when being edgy and not caring about things was cool. Actual socialist, pretty well read, although maybe the wrong books.

Void was an edgelord back when that was the cool and unique thing to do on the internet, and hopped on the social justice train back when it was more 'die cis scum' and less 'Y’all have the most problematic views about sex and sexuality'.

Slowbeef is just an old man who is ashamed of who he used to be, and maaaaaybe a bit jealous of people like pewdiepie who took off and achieved great success in spite of, rather than because of, the gilded cage that slowbeef moderated.
