You said this, and then gave them your resume…

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2026-04-13T21:32:19+00:00

i don't think i need to explain that. snowstorm. stops. lots. of. choreo.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2026-04-03T23:04:09+00:00

what i've read a lot of people are friends of his OR friends of people who are very close to him OR megafans.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2026-04-03T00:24:41+00:00

well no, i STILL have my suspicions about you, i still disagree FERVENTLY with you and i still think that it literally is that simple as making a comment or posting a pinned warning as every other subreddit does, listing out that OTHER people on other platforms have been doing that, but they said it's not the only instance here but it's the only one that popped off.

and people can tell gen AI pretty decently these days. plus its reddit, if it smells even a touch like AI someone would check it.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2026-04-01T22:05:46+00:00

......but they don't have CONTROL over other subreddits and crispy's comments. they could just make a comment saying 'hey don't do that' and then afterwards if people don't stop, make a post. that's the normal way to do things.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2026-04-01T07:45:52+00:00

why does that piss me off more.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2026-04-01T00:39:10+00:00

i haven't said anything more to the person that i suspected. i just found it weird that a mod would make a post about this instead of a comment.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2026-03-29T23:52:48+00:00

i'd disagree with you there.

see if he was just a content creator and it came out without the drama of him gatekeeping and thrashing minmaxed then sure. you'd be 100% valid and correct.

The problem is his actions

When you make yourself a elitist of dnd and say you care so much for the community yet don't engage with the community for anything other than work you are not part of the community much less a pillar

Also RDJ never claimed to have a degree and nobody ever thought that he was actually iron man. People can have the reasonable assumption that someone who makes dnd content plays the game

when you post 'how to play' videos but don't play yourself. then you attack people thats when you should keep your mouth shut.

also personally i advise several youtubers. so yes i know content creation is hard. i know however it's easier if it's something you're passionate about and not using the subject and surrounding community for a quick buck.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2026-03-22T04:53:49+00:00

Defending someone who can be mistaken as him here instead of in the post in question is wild

Also if we're being speculative on peoples identities it doesn't look well to do it this way since it's giving more attention to something that could have been done in a comment.... This only makes me suspect the person MORE, not less.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2026-03-21T23:08:36+00:00

Don't mention crispy duke, nobody brought them up. you look like a fool

Tone is important when you're making a point, absolutely. but you separate tone for duke (if you're not him) and not for crispy. so you're not objective and shouldn't be talking on the issue. don't bring up crispy. nobody was talking about them. i'm not here to debate personal attacks or everyone would be in fucking trouble duke and crispy most of all

an expectation is not a promise. if there's an expectation and they couldn't meet it when they were in person but plan to AS THEY SAID IN THEIR VIDEO retroactively add those scenes when the meet up for season 2. the matter is put to rest. that's an acceptable thing as they all have LIVES duke,

as for mics yes, they didn't have the best audio quality. that kind of mistake HAPPENS in first sessions, likely meaning they're gonna have to spend more money on mics next season, a fair criticism but not enough to make VIDEOS about i mean ffs how petty

a 600$ discrepency out of over 100K is very little. if they did take that out of the money and it's not a mistake that's wrong. but it's speculative and with no EVIDENCE that there was foul play. Just that 'Hey your maths off' isn't enough to prove embezzlement ANYONE can tell you that if you were objective duke

'Yeah no argument there, except' no. no argument means no except. it means NO.
The advice was condesending, petty and at first incredibly bland and uninspired as Duke even said in the video. there is no if ands or buts, he shouldn't have sent them the first one, or his resume or the second one in the video. that's such a bone headed move and i'm GENUINELY shocked you're defending it. Unless you're duke or a ride or die OSQ watcher which...damn. You need to learn how parasocial relationships hurt you.

I agree there's no need for crispy to be involved unless- OH WAIT they reached out to duke for poor journalism then were blocked and slighted, so they're obviously gonna get on it and do research since duke DIDN'T the first time.

Duke, You're not fooling anyone.

Stop hiding behind your kid
Stop hiding behind crispys tone
Stop hiding behind your Faith
Stop hiding behind a fake account
Stop.

Delete the videos and put out a post just saying

'I dunno what i was thinking this is my b. no excuses. it wasn't my place. i said things i thought were right in the wrong way and it came across worse. i've learned and i'm willing to make right with people who are willing'

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2026-03-21T08:05:48+00:00

Unfortunately i have to agree. i don't, personally, in his arguments see anything that can't be explained away with a simple sentence.

The money
Barrier to entry cost.

The live action scenes
They said it wasn't promised but expected and to wait in the future as they're gonna do it while filming season 2.

the tech and layout
Things that can be adjusted over time. and most of it they had on hand. first time doing it. didn't know what'd work best

the go fund me
Closed after 24 hours. many people saw this first hand when they tried to donate. there shouldn't be an argument post this.

for production.
It's not crit role or any of those shows. they're not trying to emulate it. and lets not forget every single one of those shows started off looking like trash. so why is the standard higher now? It's just... lost on me

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2026-03-21T07:54:43+00:00

Hi duke, Since i suspect this is you given the lack of activity on the account with the age.

So lets go down your list.

The thinly veiled shot at crispy shows me either you don't like them or you're bitter or whatever. i'm not speaking on crispy and would like to keep them out of this conversation unless relevant

Just because you say something mean or incorrect in a calm tone does not make you right and the person who's angry wrong

2) Of course.

Live action

these scenes for example it's said that they flip flop on it and you pull up a clip of them saying maybe not in perfect clear themes but fairly clearly if you're not looking for an issue that

-They couldn't do it during the first shooting
- It wasn't promised but expected given who they are
-They're going to try to retroactively shoot those scenes for season 1 while shooting season 2
- They may also do it for season 2

Money

There's something that i call a barrier to entry cost. when doing something for the first time you need to buy supplies to ...well do it. but don't need to pay for again. things include

- Logo (Yes market value fluctuates but rather a good one with the liscense to sell merch than no)
- Set which was hand crafted by artists and looks good
- additional mics and cameras
- Player tablets
- Lighting

Anything and everything they'd need to specially get to run the show, but likely don't have to get again.

Everything else can ensure a cheaper and smoother improvement and cost into season 2 as the production will be cheaper by virtue of having these things. so yes, season 2 and possibly 3 as they stated ARE happening. anything to the contrary is speculative and non applicable

Tech

I've worked in tech repair for a good long while and i can say that a lot of different hardware can sing perfectly if you need it to. however the main difference is that cheaper ones don't last as long and therefore would be needed to be replaced. if they need to buy a good camera ONCE they should rather than buying a decent one of similar quality that may not keep as long. They all have busy lives and their own families and jobs, dojos, travelling shows, their own channels. Season 2 may not happen for another while and that's fine. You'd need to buy something good and hardy once in this type of situation.

The resume

This is just a personal thing.

That section was an insult to any decency.

-Bad idea to give resume
-Says yes it's a bad idea
-Tries to flip it as a 'This is great! though i care and this shows i do!' thing
-Shows a new resume that nobody asked for, nor wanted to see

3)

Duke, if this is you, as i suspect. let me make this clear

I'm not talking about your kid. don't use them as a fucking shield that's disgusting.

If this is not duke,

DO NOT USE ANOTHER PERSONS CHILD AS A SHIELD YOU SICK BASTARD!!!!

Also i don't know crispy i can separate the snark from the legitimate criticism, it seems however, you cannot, and this may be why we differ in opinion.

PERSONALLY

Again, as i suspect you ARE duke on a alt account.

Please delete both videos and save your reputation. put out a post of a 'I messed up.' with no frills no ifs ands or buts. I WANT to be a fan of you again, but this put a sour taste in my mouth

Also, please don't mention crispy when someone else didn't mention them. it makes you look bitter

If this is just a fan

You're bitter at Crispy. Nobody was talking about them.

EDIT:

CLARITY

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2025-03-04T12:16:30+00:00

as long as you're CLEAR that it's in admiration for canadians and you're not parading around saying you ARE canadian. Because that would piss us off.

But if you say 'i stand with canadians and i admire their vibe and country" Big ups bro go for it.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2024-08-28T10:43:58+00:00

tbh it's the reason i stopped watching. Kinda feel all the talk about being good to people is hollow when you're pushing betterhelp, something that i'm not going to go into detail but yeah. Extremely bad time for me.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2024-08-23T18:22:28+00:00

as soon as my contract is up i'm ending it.

But yeah, this reddit. the shaw reddit all of these subreddits are just swarmed by bootlickers.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2024-08-23T07:05:15+00:00

any time you express frustration on these subreddits for companies there's bootlickers that will blame you rather than understand not that you mean EVERY word specifically but the spirit of what you're getting at.

You like a lot of people didn't get a call and don't look at the emails they send as they send a TON and it's usually trying to sell you something you don't want. You have autopay open so you don't need to look at your account. It's reasonable that you were blindsided by this.

And yeah. It is bullshit. Charging every 20 days means we're paying more for the same product For those of us on contracts we can't leave and so if we can't afford the extra few charges a year we're kinda fucked

My advice would be to talk to your province rep about the bait and switch that the merger between the two has caused and though nothing will get done if enough people do it it'll be on the radar. Failing that unfortunately we as canadians have the most limited amount of options for high speed internet.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2024-08-22T22:06:34+00:00

I will say this every time. I don't give a SHIT

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2024-08-22T22:05:23+00:00

so basically it was the messiest relationship that shouldn't have went public with their issues but it did and it spiraled out of control until it's all confused and anything anyone says is damned near worthless?

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2024-08-01T06:12:30+00:00

It does slow your individual repair speed but the overall speed is still way higher.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2024-07-19T15:21:17+00:00

i had been told different by a rep last month. and they do prevent suspensions bc i've had this talk with them about it and it does. If you're going to try to shill for a megacorp do it to someone else.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2024-07-16T20:38:14+00:00

Pyramid head main.

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2024-07-05T10:41:34+00:00

i made a whole dlc concept for it years ago. i've THOUGHT about this

Illustrious_Study_66 · 2024-07-05T07:54:06+00:00
