Careercow Narcissa Wright / Cosmo Wright - Former speedrunner tumbling down

[Rokko]

In narcissa case it could also be speedtrooning

 

[Kurosen]

Yeah.... too bad the hormones already obliterated it.

 

[Guy Smiley]

How did Joycons save his career? Did he claim to have some kind of hand disorder that made holding a full controller impossible? (That seems stupid enough to be likely.)

 

[Snacker]

It's more likely that the reason his hand problems went away is because he stopped mercilessly speedrunning games for hours and hours every day. I remember he was also trying to play SSBM competitively for a while (a game notorious for fucking your hands up if played at a high level), so yeah no shit his hands are better now that he is more of a casual gamer.

He did historically have wrist problems. Probably from grinding wind waker and having to mash insanely hard in some areas. Not sure what it is about Gamecube games, but they seem pretty notorious for fucking people up.

I could certainly see how Joycons could help, due to being able to keep your wrist in a more relaxed position while using them. It's his one excuse that is actually valid.

Joycons are okay but the analog sticks are shit, sadly. But then again the quality of Nintendo's products has never been the same since they shifted production from Japan to China.

My left analog stick fucking popped off last week and now the potentiometer is fucked.

That girl who ate bugs and had sex with her dog is Todokaras, who is also a transtrender (of the enby variety).

The GameCube controller is one of the few controllers that ditched the diamond button layout that most consoles since the Super Nintendo used (outside variations like the Saturn's 6 button layout):

And well, replaced it with a crazy unergonomic button layout in an attempt to reinvent the controller:

The A button is big, but the X and Y buttons are bean shaped and B is a little red dot. The C stick is also smaller than the main analog stick, and even some of the people who created the controller disowned it. Outside the Nintendo crowd it's never found a following, however within the Nintendo crowd (specifically in the Smash community) it's popularity led to the Smash 4 adapter, and fightpads that featured the same layout.

Nintendo kids defend this.

The Gamecube controller was comfy as hell.

Damn straight.

 

[Raging Capybara]

Speedrun destroys the wrist of everybody, it's not the controller. And some of them use the controller in a very obnoxious way. I saw once a Sonic speedrunner playing with the genesis controller on his lap and using his middle finger in the d-pad...seriously, wtf.

I will say that I've used the gamecube controller for non-nintendo games, and some of them do quite well. It did great for shovel knight, especially with the notches in the joystick (made it much easier to grab ladders over pits). A game that isn't too complex that doesn't require you to spaz out like smash does it's not the worst for (or a game that doesn't make use of shoulder buttons, because those are kinda shit too).

 

[Grog]

The thing about the GameCube controller is that the shoulder buttons have two levels of pressure, and doing the deep press on them many times tires your hand. You'd normally not abuse them but if you are a speedruner or a SSBM competitive player I guess you have to press buttons faster and harder.

I never liked the Genesis D Pad, it always seems to feel stiff and hard to push. Now the Saturn on the other hand, that was the best 2d game controller ever made IMO.

This thread has made me seriously look at my dependence on klonopin and how it might be negatively affecting my mood. Reading this thread has been educational... and also horrifying. So, thanks for that, guys.

Also, for all the fame and attention and adoration that Narcissa constantly demands, she's going out of her way to push people away from her. I don't even know if she's aware that her actions are in direct contradiction to what she says she wants, but I feel like she must be aware of it on some level. With depression, you can feel like you have to punish yourself by depriving yourself of things that you actually really need to not be depressed, because you feel like you don't deserve it. You can wind up in a cycle of self-defeat that just feeds into itself. Narcissa just keeps coming back to the people she feels are abusing her while being aloof with her biggest supporters. She just keeps punishing herself. She's not fueled by asspats, really. She puts so much more effort into making people hate her so she can cry about how misunderstood she is, which makes people hate her, so she can cry more, which makes people hate her... you get the idea.

I see somebody with an intense amount of self-loathing, trying to destroy themselves. She's trying to destroy Cosmo and make people give up hope that he'll ever return, but Cosmo had the fame and recognition that Narcissa doesn't have. I don't think it's an accident that people refer to Narcissa and Cosmo as separate people. They might as well be. Narcissa has taken over and is constantly holding Cosmo's head underwater in the bathtub, but she just can't kill him completely.

I'm not suggesting that this is a case of full-blown DID, but I do think this is a kind of disassociation and that this apparent schism in Cosmo/Narcissa's personality is indicative of some very severe mental illness. This is a horrorcow/schizocow to me. It's also not a coincidence that symptoms like this, where somebody's personality just seemingly goes off the rails because of some kind of schizophrenic disorder, can pop up in somebody's late teens to early 20's.

But I'm no psychiatrist. I'm just a sperg on Kiwi Farms that likes to read into things too deeply trying to come up with reasons why somebody would have a mental break like this. So what do I know?

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

Wow troonery and mental illness are connected. Who would have thought?

 

[Grog]

Now that I think about it Cosmo's case is similar to Terry A. Davis', but instead of running from the CIA niggers he decided to become a troon hikkikomori.

Running from? More like run them over

 

[Incredible Crisis]

Cosmo became Narcissa to escape from anxiety that there might be a world outside of speedrunning that would not accept him. Instead of coming to terms with his wrist problems and simply playing different games privately until he was competitive elsewhere, or even just leaving speedrunning to go into art or game development, he underwent this bizarre metamorphosis into the moth that is Narcissa, the wailing waif that hangs herself halfway out of her tower and begs people to stop her.

In short, like many trenders, this is a way to escape a tough emotional place for an effeminate man. Unfortunately, the sketchy meds and the lack of sunlight are going to keep this skeleton woman's flesh rotting away.

Cosmo pussies out when he picks up a game controller. Terry on the other hand wrote a fucking divine intellect compiler even after he went insane.
