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

[BlueChan]

I don't actually know if Ironicus is in the Uncharted 4 LP, the only LPs I really watch anymore are from SuperGreatFriend and HarshlyCritical.

Just for the record: he is.

That's a relief. I guess this is what I get for being an old man and not using twitter.

I dunno, I could see them getting far more if VoidBurger begs Chip to help her start promoting a website or whatever but either way it's likely doomed to failure.

He's actually really fucking shit at audience growth and retention. Gonna post a bunch of links to Patreon graphs of lolcows of interest:

-Chip; starts at around $2000 in 2015, now at around $1300 and 50 less supporters. Despite his Patreon goals promising weekly streams, he hasn't done any of those for months, probably because of voidburger (intentionally or not)

-Voidburger; it's been around $800 for 2 years, but getting banned from SA has gotten her 5 supporters that managed to get it over $1000 alone

-Tietuesday; a steady climb from around $600 to $1400, however some mysterious asshat pledged over $2000 on December 18th. Getting banned from SA led to no changes whatsoever.

-Slowbeef; it's been between $400 and 600 ever since being made, but the same mysterious donator dropped $2000 on December 18th. Slowbeef immediately puts up a $3000 milestone despite not having added any in months cause he's a greedy dumbass.

-Bob/Kamoc/that turtle dude from the tweets above. Basically a nobody.

-Just for comparison's sake, Laura/Josh Dale. Managed to go from $1000 to $3000. Heavy increases around his chimpouts such as his fake E3 kidnapping, fake transphobic comments, fake threats, etc...

So if anything, the dude with the weakest pull is Chip, whereas TieTuesday seems to pull an audience thanks to being such a loud obnoxious retard and all around manchild.

I have noticed that his output really never changed despite his website proclaiming "twice weekly updates". If anything it got less frequent. I'd say cut him some slack but the promise of increased updates was specifically a patreon goal he achieved, that's just unprofessional. I'd be pissed if I gave him money because of that promise.

So if anything, the dude with the weakest pull is Chip, whereas TieTuesday seems to pull an audience thanks to being such a loud obnoxious exceptional individual and all around manchild.

This is really no different from shitty Adam Sandler movies full of fart jokes making 20 times the box office pull as actual quality filmmaking.

It was never about quality with some of these people anyway.

That's not true for all of them. I enjoy chips stuff.

 

[BuckBumble]

I meant the rest of the LP crew featured here. The ones who just want easy money and so on.
Chip is like, a quality overload by contrast.

Ah, I got you. Yeah, like I've said before, there's going to be a marked difference between an LPer who has a career and adult life and one who... doesn't.

I know how these "rebel forums" go. Void and Tie won't break 20 members with theirs, assuming they even bother to attempt in the first place.

If it's anything like VB and Tortoise on Tour's last project "The Grate Debate" I see it crashing after the first two months.

 

[Bugaboo]

I'll start my own fourm, with poor quality LPs and Social Justice!

In fact, forget the forum!

Hahaha, Rule #4. https://www.lp.zone/t/rotating-light-welcome-to-the-lp-calzone-eat-read-me/35

Don’t make fun of trigger warnings or safe spaces. Don’t use the term “SJW” as a pejorative.

 

[Un Platano]

They've got a Discord list. Go ween there with the accounts you just threw away, everyone.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

Hahaha, Rule #4. https://www.lp.zone/t/rotating-light-welcome-to-the-lp-calzone-eat-read-me/35

10 bucks says that rule will be abused as fuck.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Actually, rules 2 and 3 are laffers too. I sort of just glanced over them at first on a closer look the fact that they go LGBTQT3.14 in the "no assholes" rule and the fact that number three is even needed is also sort of a haha thing.

Be polite to each other. We don’t mean curse words, we mean derogatory, bigoted, racist-sexist-ableist-homophobic-transphobic (and anything else we missed) slurs, and direct insults meant to hurt people. Respect each other’s pronouns. We’re here to have fun with each other, not at each others’ expense. We reserve the right to decide what crosses the line.
Absolutely no doxxing. Do not give out any other person's private information on this forum whatsoever. Doing so will result in an immediate IP ban. Be smart about sharing your own personal info. Any posts that are a clear security risk to anyone (e.g. home address) will be deleted.

 

[Bugaboo]

This sounds like they're trying to make the world's biggest circlejerk

 

[Bilderberg Team Builder]

They even have a Activism Thread

https://www.lp.zone/t/now-that-im-here-the-activism-thread/868

Created by the insane FYAD user Jenner. Its just full of them virtue signaling about all the protests and pictures of themselves at the protests.

Then Voidburger created a Political Cartoons to whine about conservatives
https://www.lp.zone/t/the-political-cartoons-thread-still-somehow-blaming-obama/1398

Its just full of the standard, "Liberals are the smart guys and Republicans are dummies" cartoons that are shared on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr by goons.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Still somehow blaming Obama? Its only been a fucking month.
