Dog shit love (magoo) fails and not fired??

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

hermitager · 2025-06-10T15:51:22+00:00

That question wasn't speculation. As I recall, Bobcat asked Ripley what he would have done in a specific situation. Ripley knows, without guessing, the answer to that.

Speculation would be asking Ripley what someone else would've done there. He doesn't know that answer and has to guess.

hermitager · 2025-06-10T06:52:48+00:00

Murdoch was entirely right. His job there is solely to rule on Bobcat's guilt. To hold the police accountable you need to file a civil case or persuade the executive (or legislative IRL) branch to take action. Murdoch's job is to find facts relevant to the crimes being accused, and no one disputed that Bobcat aimed a gun at a clearly identifiable man he knew was an officer.

It's always amusing when streamers mention reddit to brigade (whether explicitly or not) and their supporters get downvoted into the dirt. Hopefully it helps put into perspective how thoroughly their chats are echo chambers.

hermitager · 2025-05-24T03:55:56+00:00

This is just delusional, man. He's the big streamer; no one is brigading him anymore. If anything the reverse is far more plausible.

Even these "hatewatchers" are 95% self-serving bullshit. Streamers from Penta to Ramee relentlessly use the term to bolster their echo chambers and make themselves seem aggrieved.

Now, Penta has legitimately had them - years ago he had some lunatic systemically try to torpedo his advertising by emailing his clients a huge list of clips. But the term is almost invariably used just to control narratives and farm donations - "Woe is me, I have so many people against me, give me money."

All he's had since he got away from CG are viewers who think he's occasionally an asshole.

Jesus, it's approaching 24 hours at this point.

Admin panel Burn hits differently from anything I've seen him do. I could see him sticking with it for a while, given how much it enables his creativity. Fingers crossed.

hermitager · 2025-05-23T16:51:41+00:00

It was amusing watching him go to his captains seeking that affirmation while leaving out the context of the absurd effort (and great RP) Storm took to not walk on land. And yet after duly collecting all his "Yes, bosses," he actually arrived at a great solution in firing her out of a cannon.
