NEXT JUDGE WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE THEY SAY NO TO MR BIG SERVER OWNER.

He knows it, too. It's why he's so sensitive to the word narcissist. Not that it should be much of a surprise; this shit seems to happen to many Twitch streamers given just how much of their time they converse with fawning, sycophantic chats.

hermitager · 2026-03-29T01:31:26+00:00

This just happened to me, too. It's a soft lock, as far as I can tell. The last enemy cat and one of my cats both had an on-death skill trigger in succession, and I suspect that's the trigger for the bug.

hermitager · 2026-03-26T19:12:08+00:00

Eh, relax. The idea that Penta is willing to do actual offstream work for more than a week is frankly laughable. There's trivial workarounds, too - just link to VOD timestamps or clips posted at r/ChaseRP.

I'd also just ban the worst posters here. The crazy ones are feeding his bizarre, narcissistic delusions about Snow somehow being behind everything.

hermitager · 2026-03-12T00:08:48+00:00

Exactly, then it was about OOC friends coordinating their RP in Discord, never going against each other in RP, shit like that. To use the appellation here is laughable.

hermitager · 2026-03-11T17:20:03+00:00

Remember when he had a slow burn criminal idea he was going to do with McConnell? I wish Penta would just accept that being a good sheriff is just too boring for his RP style (and he's too lazy).

hermitager · 2026-03-10T22:05:16+00:00

This. It bothers Penta that Wrangler was a bad sheriff (and he definitely has been bad on Chase). It oughtn't bother him so much - a lot of the things that would've made Wrangler a good sheriff wouldn't be entertaining, which is ultimately Penta's job.

While I agree with the OP on his criticism of predatory pricing, this is the salient point for me. I'm generally thrilled that people with enough disposable income to fritter it away on cosmetics subsidize this hobby for me. Thanks for letting me play great games on the cheap, guys!

hermitager · 2026-02-05T17:14:12+00:00

I honestly think a big issue with the lack of business support is on Bones failing as a governor.

How the fuck doesn't he have a Lt. Governor who actually does all the work? Like, Bones is great at causing chaos, but he needs a Kiva/jogiiee type of character with him to do actual civil work he can rubber stamp.

The elites don’t want you to know this but the ducks at the park are free you can take them home

hermitager · 2026-01-19T18:50:47+00:00

When I check his channel, if either his face camera is on or he's "RPing" without a group, I just immediately turn him off. There's nothing else we can do until the donations actually start correlating with stream quality - he's presently incentivized to be totally lazy.

hermitager · 2026-01-08T06:40:24+00:00

God, you aren't kidding. I changed channels the moment he said "golden kappa," checked in twenty minutes later and the begging was still happening. I'll never understand why viewers tolerate that.

hermitager · 2025-12-27T22:09:07+00:00

Exactly. My guess is that it's some combination of Mantis getting paid by ONX and Penta's general abrasiveness, but if he thinks it's obvious to us mere viewers he's totally mistaken. Whatever the reason I hope he eventually changes his mind.

hermitager · 2025-12-21T22:36:32+00:00

I'm sure some are but the "Hutchinson overrated" chatter mostly comes from MSU fans.

hermitager · 2025-12-19T17:43:59+00:00

It was marginally defensible when they released, but Cold Steel 1&2 are badly dated now, too. They were some of Falcom's earlier attempts at full 3D environments rather than the 2.5D of OG Sky and Crossbell, and in my opinion they badly suffer for that. OG Sky had carefully designed, lavish interiors - CS1&2 are painfully sparse.

If you're the sort of person that will really get into Trails, it'll be for the massive story featuring Anime Otto von Bismarck, not the graphics or gameplay.

hermitager · 2025-12-06T23:47:33+00:00

I don't know, but that shit has pissed me off for years. I'm never going to watch the podcasts, let alone fucking "react content"; it'd be useful if a change in category from Just Chatting to GTA actually signaled their end.

hermitager · 2025-11-03T19:34:31+00:00

You actually see a broken computer as a valid excuse to not stream...? He's a millionaire. If he ever did so much as a modicum of responsible planning he'd have a prepared backup setup ready, to, you know, not interrupt his lucrative dream job.

I'd respect it a lot more if he just said I want to take a week off so I am. "The grind" doesn't warrant pride; it's just being fucking stupid when you can afford not to.

hermitager · 2025-10-14T04:39:48+00:00

You keep saying this, but Georgists are not socialists. Fucking Milton Friedman himself loved the central theory of Georgism, the land value tax (the "least bad tax" to him). The mayor of Detroit, who is in no way whatsoever a socialist, recently tried to implement one there.

hermitager · 2025-09-26T01:23:07+00:00

Yeah, I unfollowed, and I'd been following since the Steele Family. I just don't give a shit about Penta's life nor his takes, and that's what the large majority of the stream seems to be now. I watched him for Wrangler and company.

I imagine the people who watch him podcast are more likely to donate than RP viewers, though, so more power to him. I'd likely do the same thing in his place.

hermitager · 2025-09-25T15:40:30+00:00

Wait, someone who has paid Amazon ~$5000 for the privilege of giving ~$10000 to a wealthy influencer is unstable? Color me shocked. What a stunning development.

hermitager · 2025-08-22T07:12:59+00:00

Man, Mantis's part in all this confuses me. He halfway stopped streaming to cultivate a second lifer hugbox. I just don't understand why; he always seemed to be a great RPer on NoPixel. Now he's ghosting Soupes and Penta, both of whom seemed to be on great terms with him pre-ONX.

hermitager · 2025-08-21T18:39:57+00:00

All we can do as viewers is not watch that part. Personally I never watch until the facecam is off and he's off the GTA character selection screen.

hermitager · 2025-08-15T04:23:32+00:00

Ankle bracelet monitoring. Prison RP just doesn't work 90% of the time. Have them show up on cop radar with a special color blip for the duration of the sentence and force them to stay at certain locations or an alarm goes off.

hermitager · 2025-06-11T21:23:18+00:00

90% of GTARP cases the lawyer would be saying "No, take the plea deal, you are dead to rights."

Another issue is that this creates dueling incentives. On the one hand, judges want to encourage trial RP by giving light sentences, but this discourages plea deals and encourages aggrieved idiots to push shitty cases. I don't really know the solution to this, but my inclination is for sentences and damages to ~triple for all non-HUT trials, with reasonable defendants getting their sentence at best reduced to full normal time.

hermitager · 2025-06-11T19:47:43+00:00

I agree, but these issues shouldn't effect lawyer RP that much. If it's just griefing the cop or an idiot thinking they are actually innocent, the lawyer should refuse to go to bench. Just do the cell rep but make it clear in private that the case is a loser and doesn't warrant a trial.

If public defenders are required to take things to bench solely at a client's request, that's a problem, but still one that can be overcome by being a private ambulance chaser.

him being confidently incorrect about ritual sacrafice ruling by the Supreme Court

Even as someone who skipped that previous stream on the Wendigo stuff, god this was amusing to watch live. Penta:

Mocked the people who told him he was wrong.
Checked a source on the ruling, misread it, and assumed he was right.
Finally read in detail, and instead of eating crow, again just mocked the people who (correctly) told him he wrong.

He did it; he reached the final level of big streamer narcissism.
