He got into GTA5 when he was like 22 and pretty much never played another game after that. I think he stopped entirely when they shut down the PS3 servers.
Seizure once explained that he'd gotten the chance to talk to the boy and he asked him if he ever pirated stuff. He answered "yarr harr matey" but didn't understand what Seiz meant. He didn't download or torrent anything, he didn't emulate games and he didn't have any subscriptions to any streaming service to my knowledge (unless the website he'd watch cartoons on has a subscription, but nothing like netflix or amazon prime)
This is such a great way to describe it. The consensus seems to be that he spent the bulk of his time of watching old children's cartoons via some bootleg website... he certainly seeemed to enjoy it, but I would be craving death. My favorite early story of Josh looking for something to do/watch continues to be the time he borrowed a Billy Madison DVD from the apartment complex's media library, only for it to be too scratched up to play. There was something profoundly depressing about it. It's like Walter White being exiled to that off-grid cabin with two copies of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, not only do you have jack shit to entertain yourself with, fate has to really rub your nose in the fact.
Kingcobra's daily routine sounded almost exactly like mine but with less drinking and masturbating and more reading random Wikipedia articles.
That last bit is very true. My NEET-hood and constant social isolation are slowly taking their toll on me mentally, but my occasional grocery runs and getting to talk with the cashiers help alleviate the sadness from my lack of friends. But sometimes if I go a few weeks without talking to people outside my family, I feel a deep sense of loneliness and despair. It feels like I'm all alone with nobody in the world to talk to. This was especially bad in my childhood.

Yeah, I get that, man. I’ll wake up, grab my morning coffee, and check his channel like I’m gonna see a new video, then it hits me all over again that he’s gone.
Ah man, I hate when a dvd is scratched too bad to be played. For that to be the only thing you planned to do that day, that's a grim, depressing picture. I know most people would hate watching cartoons all day, but as someone with autism Josh definitely liked that. But no wonder he gravitated towards just getting fucked up all day every day. Little to no social interaction, little to no entertainment. Makes me happy that fans would visit him occasionally.
Cooler Taste is a newer channel that does pretty good Cobra compilation videos.
I can picture all those of age consenting goth fan girl groupies in blue corpsepaints begging him for an autograph, TMDWU.
