So I randomly stumbled upon this podcast episode where a couple people interview Narcissa. I haven't seen it posted here, and it doesn't have a lot of views, so I'm pretty sure not many people here have listened to it.

(EDIT: This video seems to have been taken down. Not only that, but the channel associated[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCHFnIeZrg0iCjLeVNppPKg] has taken down all of their videos. I hope they weren't important because I only got this one video)

https://my.mixtape.moe/bitkdq.mp3
(the version I have archived here was downloaded from the spreaker site, and edited slightly because it had an ad for Jack in the Box.)

I listened to it and took down a few notes about what they talk about.
The most important bits though are that Narcissa is on from around 3:00 to 45:30, and that he namedrops us around 18 minutes in.

This is from over a month ago, so Narcissa does some talking about Twitch. The timestamps I included were from the youtube video.

  • interview begins at 3 minutes in.
  • Narcissa speaks about running in general, and glitches
  • talks about how audience moved away after trans
  • Narcissa says "i tend to be heavily reliant on the internet"
  • "internet is cruel and still cruel. still some cruel people"
  • commentator says that using sub only chat isn't alienating to audience. it's giving streamer a position for retaining mental well being
  • girl commentator mentions gdq. brings up gdq chat and unkind chat
  • Narcissa thinks it's understandable for gdq chat to be sub only
  • Narcissa ponders anonymity online. says he has no answers
  • Narcissa mentions trolling on other forums
  • HE NAME DROPS US AT 18:25
  • Narcissa says "the fact that this place exists feels wrong"
  • Narcissa feels "invisible" on twitch despite playing BOTW so much
  • commentator mentions Narci's hand. Narcissa says that switch controllers are manageable on his hands, unlike many other controllers. he has to keep buying switch controllers because they keep breaking though.
  • Narcissa mentions on-and-off depression.
  • commentator asks Narcissa how he "fixed" his anxiety. Narcissa mentions he took 10 milligrams of something (elixipro? I couldn't understand what he was saying because one of the commentators interrupts and the yt subtitles don't say much useful)
  • Narcissa says he has no problem with being on meds
  • the commentators stroke his ego at multiple points during the video
  • Narcissa complains about how his negative moments are blown up while his positive moments get no attention. it makes him sad for humanity as a whole
  • Narcissa talks about doing portraits in high school, and that it got him into art
  • one commentator says "no shitty internet people listen to this show at this point because if they did they would have stopped caring a long time ago when we stopped featuring mostly white cis men". irony not lost on me
  • Narcissa mentions being in a dire situation financially, and that he wants to rebuild his twitch audience
  • Narcissa leaves around 45:23
  • girl commentator fangirls about how Narcissa looks like her partner, and how Narcissa makes her blush. "she was just an absolute delight. she was so humble and so sweet and just exactly the kind of person she appears to be when she streams"

Maybe he'll go full SJW and whine that there wouldn't be any obese transgender black people in Smash.

There won't be a new game, he's got a genius plan already laid out.
Smash comes out, he starts taking it seriously. Before long he starts complaining about his wrists, puts up a ridiculously big gofundme campaign for surgery to save his wrists from disentegrating from too much soylent and Smash.
Sells out hard, tries to pull on every community he was once a part of, ignoring all the nasty bullshit he's thrown at all those people.
The campaign fails miserably and Cosmo goes back to crying and farting on stream in perpetuity.

Cosmo was a legitimately good Melee Zelda player.

Keep in mind that I said "Cosmo." I haven't the slightest clue of Narcissa will be a good Smash U Zelda player, but it's "possible" for him to save his streaming career with the new Smash game. You know, in the same way it's "possible" a meteor filled with gold, food, and a functioning transplantable uterus will crash into his house.

Because for him to be a successful streamer with Smash U, he'll have to play at a high level, leave his house to go to tournaments, and cough up the money for travel and entry fees. And seeing as he's unemployed and I'm pretty sure he hasn't left his house in three months, the odds of that happening are very, very unlikely.

Once again, Cosmo's greatest enemy is himself.

They also need to be somewhat charismatic or likeable to be successful. And Narc seems hellbent on being the complete opposite.

Being charismatic is not a choice or an aspiration. You either have charisma or you don't.

Cosmo never was likeable, and never will be. He was always a derpy little nerd who treated people like shit. He only got attention because he could do what no one else could, for a time. He was bound to decline in popularity somewhat because everybody does. So many other people started speedrunning, and streaming exploded in general.

Cosmo self-destructed because (my theory) he's a control freak and didn't want to slow-fade organically. Like many narcissistic control freaks he perhaps was not consciously aware of how his decisions would ruin him but he couldn't tolerate not being in control of his own downfall. The tranny thing is incidental; having control issues is a hallmark of sexual fetishists.

Cosmo would of retained popularity if he didn't tranny shield for his total lack of ',work's ethic with the help of the media. I'm beginning to think he thought if she shielded hard enough he would keep fans out of pity.
The speedrunning community is far too autistic for that though

yeah, they demand dedication and skill to speed running. Cosmo let his skill atrophy like crazy with trannydom
 
I never watched Cosmo shit as I find speedrunning autistic but did he used to talk much during runs?
 
Realistically, do you think Cosmo could ever become popular again? He shat on everyone who liked him, shat on the speedrunning community multiple times, has proven to have lost most of his ability as a runner, has killed his twitch channel and his reputation, and other stuff I'm probably forgetting.

And he will never apologize for it because he thinks he is right.

Absolutely not. He's ruined any chance of being a speedrunner by ignoring solvent games and insulting his audience, alienated thousands with his trooning, shat on his audience and only shot to popularity, and has now been banned from Twitch forever.

He's peaked long ago. He peaked before 2010, and it's all just downhill for him from here.

Soon, he'll have nothing left. Our suicide counter might not be hypothetical for long, with how he's going.
