It finally happened guys! Spoony got evicted!
I can't feel bad for Spoony at all. All he had to do was make 1 to 2 videos a month talking about movies, video games and table tops and he could have stayed afloat. Hell, he could have been as big as AVGN if he had the work ethic. Instead he wallowed in self pity, sloth and his Twitter addiction. I am also pissed at him for what he did to his house. It was a lovely home and Spoony refused to maintain it because he would rather be a sad sack searching for pity. The fact that DSP has a better work ethic and does a better job at maintaining his property then Spoony speaks volumes. Spoony is probably going to move back to his parents basement and then go back on Twitter and complain that he has it worse then Job from the Bible and that the world is trying to keep him down. He is going to refuse to get a job as he thinks he is above working. It is disheartening to see someone with such talent throw it all away because he is addicted to misery and pity.

I know HE IS crazy but if he is homeless his ass needs to get out of the state since it will melt you in the summer and freeze your ass come winter. Spring is when they come around and clean up all the hobo corpses. But I digress. He lived in Aurora which is west of Chicago. might remember it from Wayne's World, not a bad place to live, shows how much he was pulling it to afford a place like that. Seeing his drive way though and you know he never shoveled the snow off of it, made his girlfriend do it.
You know what is the most messed up part of all this is. He still probably makes like $300 on patreon for doing nothing in years.

It's a real shame because he unironically made some of my favorite videos on the internet. His Ultima series of videos, Final Fantasy reviews and the Reb Brown retrospective have a ton of replay value that every few months i rewatch them and still have a good time.
But it seems like opening a Patreon account and the completely misguided attempt to make a movie broke him. Or he just decided to become a lazy asshole. Either way, a real big shame.

I think it was the Scarlett break up. He did not take the break up well despite his fans hating her and her treating him like shit. After that he kind of lost his drive. That maybe because Scarlett was the one who got him off his lazy ass and made him do videos. Without a woman to push him to work he saw no reason to. April pretty much enabled him for years until the bills started to pile up and she had to get a job to support them. When she saw how much money she was making at both her job and Etsy store she realized that she can do so much better then Spoony and dumped him. I don't blame her. If a partner isn't pulling their weight and making you be the sole bread winner why stick around? Also, how embarrassing for Spoony to have his girlfriend work several jobs and take care of both him and his dog while he just mopes around the house and bitches about Trump and his life on Twitter all day. What a weak, emasculated bum.

Don't forget tweeting as his dog too.

Speaking of tweeting, I am shocked that Spoony hasn't tweeted anything in a month. Usually the lazy bum tweets like a 100 times a day but not a peep out of him since his home began to go into foreclosure. I think he either hasn't tweeted out of shame or because he knows that users on /v/ will troll and mock his ass for losing his house due to laziness. I look forward to seeing him go back on and him chimping out at people mocking him.

Wow, congrats on taking this from idea to something that exists physically. neat to see the process from start to finish as it happened.
I feel like this could even be a news section post.

Yeah I've got about ten of the buggers because the printing company did that as the minimum number. I'm giving one tomorrow to an old player from my original campaign who's coming to visit me and then the rest can go to prospective players for the Van Buren campaign I guess!

Did something of that sort happen in the new Eva movies? Misato was actively not doing that in the main series. Only time she even did anything on that area was when she was bleeding to death and desperatedly trying to convince Shinji to get in the damn robot and it was clear both knew she wasn't buying it.

Caught in 4k so to speak.
I have only seen og series myself. Bf keeps telling me to watch the others just haven't yet. I dread the Asuka death scene. Might skip.
This made me think of Toront, wherever he is.

I don't get the Pedo Misato jokes even more now, Mari is the one that is literally the age of Shinji's mom and the final love interest.

Rewatch og series. Maybe it's the english dub but there was weird shit with Misato and Asuka at a bath house. Like... very odd dialogue. Also, have you ever seen Evengelion? It's very obvious imo.

The point was she didn't do it and that's why her promising Shinji a "grown up kiss" in the End of Eva movie was what snaps him out of his shut down because he realizes she is gonna die and makes him try and pilot the Eva. She was exclusively shaging Kaji.

I’m sure you had people who said the same stupid shit about computers in general. You’re always gonna have Luddites who hate technology.
Contrary to what irl people say when they joke about how I bow hunt, I don’t hate technology and science, I just prefer things simple. Less moving parts is a good thing… usually.
I’m trying so hard to not say “just like in government” but the anarchistin me that is me can’t resist.

We often underestimate newer technology and advancements. The typical the horse will never be replaced by the automobile, we'll never go to outer space, we'll never have handsize internet GPSs that are multitudes more powerful than room size computers.
When they say things like immortality may be achievable (To what metric with what consequences? Who knows) by 2080 or some shit I don't fully doubt it. People tell me that it will never be possible but look at what they're trying to do with CRISPR. We're often very, very wrong about how fast things come to be and if we're thinking we can do something by a certain point, we usually do it even sooner. At least with not popular fiction works but rather actual inventors and people of those fields looking out towards the future.
Ever since the industrial revolution, we move much faster than before. I don't think we'll always get the things we think we will but more of them will come true than you think and sooner than you'd think.
More reliable and easier to replace/fix, sure. We've had bows and arrows probably longer than we can prove we had them but personal firearms have been around for about 1,000 years? Gunpowder was made in China in the 9th century but I think the first projectile-based gunpowder tool with that was manned with one person was 10th century. We've had some form of the bow for at least 70,000.
I see what you mean. But if you ask me you're ignoring the countless of stuff which was predicted or seen as a possibility but which never happen or at least not as how it was predicted. Like nuclear cars. People living in space (remember 2001 Space Odyssey? People really thought this to be a future for us today) and a lot more stuff. I mean look at the whole 1950s idea of the future where they thought we would be living in a sort of paradise today with robots, transportation and everything nuclear.
Imagine that during the 1920 or so they also thought most humans today would work what? 3 or 4 hours each day? And the rest of the time they would spend with fun and even lazy activities because productivty moved so rapidity economists back then believed no one will need to work anymore in the future. But look at us now ... in some cases people even work more than just one generation ago to achieve similar results.
So with saying this even if something seems possible on paper that still doesn't mean that it will happen. Some changes can happen in just a relatively short period. Like the change from Horses to cars - but that was kinda in development for quite some time. But other technological changes might take generations. Particularly when we're talking about space travel. Because frankly it is that complicated and difficult to achieve. Even if we're only talking about own solar system. I mean imagine if earth would see a nuclear war in 50 yerars right before someone invents a really good engine for space travel. What would that help? Nothing. Because then people would be thrown back as whole civilisations collapse.
I honestly don't expect any meaningfull space travel in our generation. Maybe not even the next one. I serously doubt people will enjoy their honeymoon on Mars in the near future.
Maybe 20 years ago I would have agreed to that. But now I am not so sure anymore. Because what we're not looking at here is the ever growing need for energy. And the faster things "move" so to speak, the more do you need it. And it's exponential on top of it all with I think energy needs almost doubling every 40 years or so? There is a clear physical limit to this though. From a technological and environmental point of view.
What we've seen for the last aprox. 70 years was a constant increase in almost everything. From cars, to houses, food, products, electronics. Everything needs more and more energy and resources. So this technological evolution which most of the time happend in areas of consumerism (economic growth) even stiffled innovation. Where have we seen some real innovation in the last decades? Even universitiese and reserarch is more often than not formed around the idea of "how can we market that shit?".
There are clear physical limitations to this kind of develompment. And it seems that we're getting very close that. You can't expand trade, consumption, production etc. without limits. Be it either due to the destruction of the environment. Or well the people not putting up with it anymore.
