Lucas's home has been identified. I wonder how long before weens begin contacting the staff there?
There's an element of power fantasy in play, Lucas's stated approach to it especially. It's a matter of laying down rules, designed systems, creating order among the chaos. But board games are also competitions: they have winners and losers. Lucas gets to write the rules, unlike in life, and he gets a chance to be a winner. It's a small thing, but the structure must be appealing.
Wince. I wonder how discouraged he'll be? I hope he's not too terribly discouraged. Many folks would be discouraged over such treatment, but Lucas does decades of experience, and may adapted.Hardly caught that with all the turds falling out of Lucas’s mouth. I first thought he was repeating back what others have told him to do. Weird deflection that he claims to tell other people to be stoic and stop lamenting their life and get therapy.

Edit: I do disagree with didn’t graduate high school some of those dropouts I’ve known are smarter and more capable than I am. I don’t think Lucas graduating would have made him any more intelligent.
The speculation that Lucas picked up his board game fixation in the laughing academy rings true. He had a good time and was desperate to recreate the experience. This is a man who, upon sharing meaningless pleasantries with a neighbor while passing them on the stairs, camped on the stairs for a weekend hoping someone would talk to him again. So, yes, a souvenir from the psych ward. But the reason why he sticks with them though?Since we've recently speculated about the reasons why Lucas is so autistically into board games, and whether it's a sincere interest, an attempt at attracting a mate, an outlet for his insanity, or some combination, I have a new theory: a while ago I speculated that one of the reasons why Lucas used to make so many videos rejecting people from staying with him, and listing all the reasons he would not date a woman, (despite the fact that no one was asking to stay with him, and that he had no opportunity or position to reject any potential mates) was because the sense of doing the rejecting, rather than being the one reject-ED, gave him a feeling of power and control that he doesn't have in any other aspect of his life.
Any other aspect, that is, other than the fantasy world of board game creation, where Lucas is like God in Populous: he makes the rules, he makes the decisions, he decides the routine, etc.
So essentially, thinking about board games allows Lucas to focus on something other than his horrible reality, and so he chooses to focus on a fantasy world where he makes all the rules.
This seems to me very consistent with his narcissism and his extreme desire to control people and demonstrate his own maturity and authority. What could be more mature, and a bigger display of authority, than being a God-figure, a literal world-shaper?
