Of course there isn't. It would be faster to list the times that he hasn't been an insufferable smug know-it-all cunt, because it hasn't happened yet.The lesson of the Riddle of Steel is to depend on your own inner strength, and not confuse it with the object through which your strength is channeled. There are other interpretations, of course, but most certainly it's not to cling to the totems of your childhood.
Is there anything this mongoloid cannot fuck up while sounding unbearably smug about it?
Those tweets where he's insufferably smug about Nintendo doing gangbusters in a year when everyone was stuck at home and needing some vidya to avoid interpersonal relations with whoever else is in your house got me thinking about the James Gunn debacle. Remember how he claimed that he saw his ideal life path in Gunn's career (indie schlock to tentpole blockbuster director) and basically admitted he was living vicariously through Gunn? Bobby was so downtrodden about Gunn being sacked from GotG3, he was acting like he was the one fired, before proceeding to become insufferably smug again once he got rehired.
Look at how he reacts to Nintendo's successes and failures over the years. He took it personally when the N64 and Gamecube floundered against stronger competition, down to sounding borderline suicidal that his beloved toy company wasn't number one. @Adamska hasn't gotten to anything about the Wii, but I assume his take on that would be similar to the Switch take above: smug, smug, and more smug, even though he had zero to do with it whatsoever. He's on top of the world anytime his precious Nintendo is making money hand over fist, and he wants to flop on his bed and cry whenever they're not. To Bob, Nintendo's successes are his successes, validation of his years of unquestioning fandom. Nevermind all the anti-consumer bullshit they've pulled over the years, as long as his bing bing wahoos keep coming, Bob is happy.
On a side note, I wish it were possible to ban Bob from using the smug emoji. If anyone had a case for never being allowed to use it again, it'd be him. Same with the cry laughing emojis. Hell, ban him from all emojis. You're 40, fatso, not some teenage girl.
