My god

@Nerdy_SenpaiTTV Make the counter sale and link him your patreon. 🤣

Love feeling confident about my body just for a personal trainer who is trying to make sales tell me I should "eat less" "cut out more bread" and "lose 6-7 pounds". I almost launched myself across the table to throttle him. I work so hard and this was discouraging.

@egoraptor While I'm at it: Thank you for your works / comedy. GG / Awesome Series and you just being on shows like "Shuffle Up and Play" (recently got into MTG, whoops). No parasocial but GG has especially been a constant companion for over a decade now, and that means not to me 💛🙏

@egoraptor I think this is why there's such a strong support for you and your works, because you do care. You do give a shit and it's why I've been a fan of yours since DBZ In a Nutshell (even if it took me several years to clock that was you).

This clip is a great example of why I didn't want to continue making Sequelitis. I had an interest in game design, and I had an interest in publicly talking about it, but my thing was comedy, and cartoons. So that's how I did the show... as a cartoon comedy. My schtick was loud characters, and chaotic shouting. Every topic in Sequelitis was shouted at full volume. Every little design choice I thought was smart was "fucking genius" and every minor annoyance I had was a full on meltdown rant. Some things I complained about didn't even piss me off, I just thought they were interesting to bring up. But I exaggerated them for the sake of comedy because I didn't really know how to make them funny otherwise. And I'm sure because I was young and insecure, I had a morbid desire to shake things up... Ocarina was an untouchable game, a 10/10 across the board, and I think being provocative about that appealed to me back then, too. But I love Ocarina. I grew up with it. I genuinely did want to have a discussion about the things that didn't age well, because I think that's interesting. I think we can learn a lot from that. But I dunno... I just don't think I felt confident enough to talk about it with the appropriate tone, so I hid behind what I knew: a cartoon character that shouts. This carried into Game Grumps... I had been doing Game Grumps for like 3 years when I released the Zelda video. I think the lines blurred for the audience because at that point I was "Arin Hanson," not Egoraptor. But Arin on Game Grumps is also a character. If I'm getting frustrated and shouting at a game on the show, it's for the bit. It's a show. Heightened emotions. And the go-to bit for me was saying "this game sucks, it's bad" and going on rants. The intent was to play the buffoon. But I think people just thought that was me. And that's fine. I don't blame them. It is "me," there's always some truth behind that sort of stuff. And I think it was extra confusing because I WOULD just be normal sometimes on the show. But you may notice recently I've very deliberately changed how I handle those bombastic moments on Grumps, where I point the finger inward now. "I suck, I messed up, I can't believe I didn't see that, what an idiot, etc." I just didn't like the bad energy I was putting out there. I hated that people saw me that way. It disturbed me that people told me "wow, you're actually really nice" all surprised when they met me in person, as if they assumed I'd rip their head off. And look, I'm not gunna pretend I'm an angel on the show now, the schtick of "buffoon that is easily angered" comes very easy to me when I'm performing, so I still utilize it constantly. But I usually find a way to channel it inward and be the butt of the joke, instead of just radiating it outward. It's funnier that way. I think I just assumed this was all obvious. You see how I tweet. You've seen interviews. I don't talk like I do on the show, or in my cartoons. I like being supportive of people and I like discussing things. I don't shout in my normal life. So when I see people characterizing me as this idiot who has no patience and sucks at playing Zelda... it sounds so silly but it just honest to goodness hurts my feelings sometimes. I love game design! I love video games! But, I get it. All you can see of me in my shows and cartoons is this loudmouth asshole who says your favorite game sucks. Like, fuck that guy, right? I think that's valid. I think you're right to feel that way. I think I was playing fast and loose with this character and I was being flippant about how frustrated it made people. I regret that. I suppose I should have thicker skin about this. And yeah... it feels so benign in the grand scheme of things. Who cares if people are circulating an 11 year old clip from a cartoon I made and saying "wow this guy's a moron." It shouldn't matter. Why should I care? But I guess I just have to admit that I do care sometimes, and it just kinda bums me out. I cared a lot about game design back then. It wasn't as prevalent as it is now. It was all dry GDC talks (which are, of course, wonderful). I found it really exciting to bring game design to light in a fun way for people that don't usually think about it. I hope I succeeded in that. But if I could go back, I think the in-your-face hyperbolic know-it-all character would go the way of the dodo. I suspect that aspect of it may have done some harm for game design discourse. And that sucks. For the record, the waiting in Ocarina barely frustrates me. I think it's appropriate at times. The game feeling larger and more cinematic just kind of lends itself to moments of pause. Enemies are more sparse so making them "last longer" just kind of makes sense. Did I feel this way back then? I'm sure I did feel stronger that "waiting" was more frustrating... but not to the level in this clip, by any means. That's just being young and insecure, I guess. I felt like I had to beat my chest in order for anyone to listen or be interested in what I had to say.

@NotDenims LETS FUCKING GO DENIMS!!

@Goldsummon Also those nails are fire wtf

Hong Kong-> Chengdu->Chongqing The next two weeks are going to be amazing ✨

@Goldsummon Jealous!

@NotDenims Damn, bro literally went for the Mizkif brows

@DSKoopa Have you done a review on this game yet? Be interested in your opinion. The mixed reviews and my fatigue with the series has me hesitant to get this one

Shoot your shot homie

@aaliyahvtuber_ Really high turtle

Hehe, quick question, what do you see, chicken or bird🤔

@NotDenims That quote needs to be enshrined. "Criticize the politicians we have, praise them when they do good, and replace them when we get something better." -Denims If the left acted more like that and got over this whole infighting bullshit we'd have stronger movement

@CaptainBullShi @LinusTech @dbrand He's not complaining, DBrand and John Tech Tip have always had that love/hate, frienemies in jest thing going on for years. DBrand could buy him anything he desires and he'd still respond the same way. It's just their bit they do :)

@LinusTech @dbrand Complaining about a car like that is crazy

thanks for the birthday gift @dbrand i hate it

@RottenPapi That Sonic poster tho 👌

sometimes you gotta give the people what they want

@DerHasisttot @NotDenims Winner

@NotDenims "InThePocket with Denims"

@NotDenims What kind of cake is it? Is there a recipe to share? 😳👉👈

@NotDenims Apt.

@DenimsTV Thanks for posting this clarification, I appreciate the clarity.

“Why issue a retraction letter and crowdfund if you weren’t serious about your legal threat” I was and am. If C.C.C. § 48a applies, you must issue a retraction letter within 20 days of the defamatory statement before you can pursue a lawsuit. This is why Ethan was so prompt in his letter to Noah but has yet to file a suit (if he ever actually planned on doing so). I changed my mind about crowdfunding because I realized that I didn’t like the money-grubbing narrative. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue, because I could just be transparent with how the money was spent, but over the lengths of time that a lawsuit would span it isn’t realistic, and “just doing my best” isn’t enough for an offensive lawsuit. Anyone that’s disappointed needs to realize they would have been waiting a very long time for any kind of emotional payout on this anyway, and that it’s easier to take my time on this when I’m not being perpetually scrutinized as a scammer. To anyone that doesn’t care about the money, and just wants to see Ethan take Ls, the Kavanaugh suit will end before any potential lawsuit of mine gets off the ground. Not to mention, if he does end up filing something against me, it feels strange to crowdfund for a defamation suit and for a defense at the same time, and mixing the funds feels even stranger. This is the cleanest way to move forward.

One week, 1692 donations, and $46k later, I’m refunding the GoFundMe. If/when I go forward as a plaintiff, I will be self-funded. Thank you everyone for proving Ethan wrong - his behavior is unacceptable, and people do care. Proceeding with a defamation suit against Ethan is a monumental undertaking – his suit with Kavanaugh started almost 4 years ago, and is still ongoing. I don’t want to fundraise to start a fight that I can’t finish and feel like I’ve let down those who have donated. With that in mind, if this is a journey I wish to undertake, I’ll be doing it with my own funds. I’ll be keeping all of you posted if anything happens while the statute of limitation runs for the next year, and I’ll be elaborating on stream Friday. I appreciate all of you for your support, it means more than you know.

@xgigglypuff @OrcinusWasHere Especially at that price point.

@OrcinusWasHere I think they’re worse than other bakery cookies As far as cookie chains go, though, I’d much rather have insomnia cookies

can i confess a hot take i tried crumbl cookies and didn’t think they were that great. i would much rather eat my homemade cookies

@Goldsummon Omg y'all look amazing!!!

@NotDenims All that, in that one suitcase? Bull fucking shit.

@DenimsTV Did you make this meme? I saw it here first so I want to give you credit for it because I'm seeing so many copycat posts now 🤣
