Doesn't chip work in PR or something? Evwn if it's not someone at volition he's gonna end up rubbing elbows with other devs. Point ia, chip is expanding his social circle while void halfheartedly shitposts. Thats gonna cause a gap between the two.

He's a junior video editor. His boss recently quit so I think he's being promoted.

Yeah, he mentioned that was the reason why his LP updates slowed.

And regarding the discussion about Chip and Void, I think they'll be together for a while (at least another 6 months). He's more than willing to tolerate her bullshit and they've been close friends for years, so it'd take a while for things to become so bad he can't take it anymore.

Spoiler: Some more speculation

Given how close they are, I'd bet it'd end in an embarrassingly public manner (on her end) where she'd end up blocking him and sulking for 2 weeks or so. Then she'd move on to other matters, but still occasionally bring him up passive-aggressively every so often (like how she talks about @randomfox, her "stalker")

 

[BlueSpark]

Co-worker? Chip's said before most of the people he works with at Volition are a generation older than him and/or married.

There's a chubby girl around his age there that he's taken pictures with. Quoting a post I made a few months back, pictures at the bottom:

Voidburger and Chip Cheezum, unemployed woman that gets free money for playing videogames and video editor and professional game streamer respectively, get triggered by a CGI children's film about a talking bee because it's evil for trying to promote work ethic or something.

Again, having a normal job is too good for people like Voidburger and Chip; normal jobs are for "rat-race fuckers," as VB would put it.

Also, Chip Cheezum showing himself hard at work at Volition with a girl that I hope he eventually cucks VoidBurger with. Plus an unintentionally hilarious image of him and VoidBurger at a hospital they did a charity stream for where they again look like mother and son (and since someone pointed out that VoidBurger looks like a tranny I can't strop seeing it).

I don't think Chip and VB are breaking up anytime soon. This isn't a case of Chip puts up with her bs, he seems to agree with it. Chip has hung out with this crowd for a good chunk of his life, and there's nothing to indicate that he's unhappy with them. And VB being a NEET shitposter isn't new either, so if he really cared about that, he wouldn't have gotten involved with her in the first place. I don't consider Chip a cow because he knows enough to keep his personal views separate from his videos. He knows people watch him for LP's, not for politics or whatever. But I don't think it's that much of a leap to say he shares many of the views of his social circle, something that he even tweeted about earlier in this thread.

 

[GameGrump]

A funny interaction between them was during a cook serve delicious stream. Void started talking about steam wishlist(? I don't know how steam works basically letting other people buy games for you) and chip showed zero interest and said something like if he wants a game he'll just buy it. If you wanted to read too much in to it you could say it was like spongebob not so subtly trying to tell Squidward to GET A JOB! Similar when chip didn't like plugging his patreon during his streams with a watermark over the video which Void had zero problem with. Chip seems like a bit more of a stand up guy to me if a bit too passive, but I only get to know either of them through the internet, who knows how they actually get along.

 

[PLB]

I wrote up most of a long boring post about 6 feats under but it was long and boring so im just going to bring up the people of interest instead.

A Wooden palisade: A bitchy combative troon probably a lesbian and heavily narcissistic, Decided it was a good idea for her character and her side character they played side stories; trans a doppler geddit?, to be in a lesbian relationship its as cringy and self indulgent as it sounds, it doesnt help that the characters had zero character interactions before hand. They also tried to make the story more and more about their character including bitching out other characters who were trying to empathize because they were taking up her important screen time. They have 2 twitters one ublic and the second private the public one doesnt have much of interest on but im sure theres some delicious milk if someone could get into the second.

And heres a picture of them from their twitter.

Spoiler: Heres a picture of them

Faerie Fortune: Lesbian, Lper, Lesbian, did i mention they were a lesbian they would probably get upset if i didn't mention they were a lesbian. Seemingly has to mention that she is a lesbian at least once in every video she is in and probably also how great her girlfriend is also likes to crochet things. She is 30 almost 31 and still living with her parents and during the costume fairy adventures game she was in spent the whole time trying to get a straight woman to go on a date with another woman who might have been a lesbian completely ignoring the guy who the straight woman wanted to go on a date with because lesbians are better than anything else and everyone should be a lesbian.
Heres her twitter: https://twitter.com/superherofae she also appears to have another private twitter
and her Girlfriends:https://twitter.com/QuantumFizz


there is also deviousvacuum who i'm surprised wasn't mentioned before hand i cba and if i dont post this now it never will be (which would perhaps be a good thing).

 

[RJ MacReady]

6FU always struck me as one of those generic tabletop podcasts that try way too hard to be Critical Role.

 

[PLB]

i dunno i havent actually watched/ listened to critical role but 6 feats under has been going for way longer the 13th age stuff started in september 2012 almost 3 years before critical role, and they even started 6 feats under and doing showing off other games in 2014 a year before, the only thing i can think of from that early is Rollplay which started in February 2013 which is pretty different. I cant personally think of anything that would of been an inspiration, i remember Ironicus talking about wanting to do it as a combination of his hobbies of TTRPG's and lets playing trying to get chip involved which didnt work out for a long time.
As far as i can tell there hasnt been much of a change apart from a larger push towards SJWy topics since it began, although i also havent listened that much over the past year and a half.

This. Let's just be real here for a sec, Chip isn't just going to wake up one morning a few weeks or months from now and decide to break up with his exceptional girlfriend because of some long argument she had with some spergies on the internet. As far as we know they get along just fine, share the same political views, and when the time calls for it Chip knows how to just nod and say "Yeah, honey, those assholes are really immature" and then go back to living his life. Anything else is really just wishful thinking and speculation on our part.

 

[DuckSucker]

I agree, I always figured the dude was a die-hard for stuff like that. I dont really care, I dont think anybody does. And I dont think people were making up weird cannon where that wasnt his personality. I think most people were giving him shit because he's a meek dude, and it seems like as far as anyone who's watched his videos, it seems like Voidburger is his first girlfriend or his first serious one for longer than like 5 or 6 months. I never watched many of his videos but I dont think he ever brought up any wild shit he got up to with previous friends and girlfriends or anything like that. So people just give him shit because it's easy to do that thing where you make fun of him for being "whipped" because he's afraid of her being upset or threatening to leave. But the dude never struck me as the type of guy who gets hung up on living a party-bro life or trying to rack up notches on his belt, he'd just want a girlfriend for company and shit.

I dont think he's even that whipped, if she left him he'd deal with it and move on, but it's easy to make jokes about it especially because of the size disparity between the two, and the fact that Voidburger seems like the type of girl who's just slightly unhinged; she can keep it together but once she starts to crack everything goes out of proportion. Again though, it's all speculation.

I just figure she tries to bully him a bit because she seems to deal with everyone else with bullying and belligerence. How he reacts to it I couldn't guess.

 

[Strange Looking Dog]

She looks like she should either be shilling for the bigmac, or for the death of blacks

 

[BlueChan]

From what I can gather, Void posted something about people haranguing a (female) animator for the new Mass Effect due to how terrible its animations are. That's pretty undeserved, true, but leave it to her (and her followers) to turn it into reeeing about GAMERS:

Who knew that making poor quality products and making terrible articles that betray journalistic integrity would get you scorn? What a shock!

As far as I'm aware, people hate Double Fine for their dubious business practices (primarily due to Kickstarter issues).

Also:

This dude's been brought up a couple times before, and he seems just as conflict-prone as Void.

Spoiler: Witness the following exchange as an example

For the record, I have no clue about the context behind this.

While Kraut seems like a bit of a paranoid dumbass, he brings up some painfully accurate points about socjus people like Shaun and Void.

God, if you're in need of some catharsis after that (I know I am), here's Kraut and Tea ripping him to shreds:

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

Thinking Voidburger's beliefs are stupid is not the same thing as being "offended" that a girl on the internet has an opinion in the first place, and these SJWs are the last people who should be criticizing anyone else for taking personal offense at disagreement.

 

[BlueSpark]

Wow, VoidBurger locking down her twitter really did a number on this thread. It's a shame, her sperging is the only entertaining content she's produced in years.

Anyway, General Ironicus pro-socialism fucktardary:

"Also, any semblence of human dignity as socialist revolutionaries at the top of the socialist structure use violence and the restriction of resources to enslave you whilst plundering your economy and living like kings themselves.
Meanwhile rich, white leftists like myself talk about how anti-capitalist we are to look trendy whilst you are starved and abused a million times worse than the petty bullshit we bitch about on twitter from our computers that cost more than you could earn in a decade in our capitalism-funded first world nations!"

Kamoc continues to care about typography:

Also, pretty off topic but Kamoc retweeted something so genuinely horrifying that I had to share. Some rendering bug in a sports videogame caused this:

Also, someone posted a Deadly Premonition Let's Play to their new LP forum:

I honestly don't think we're missing out on that much. Knowing how paranoid she is, she's probably toning down her sperging even behind the lock, just in case some people on this thread can still see what she's tweeting.

Say Proteus, what was that about slowbeef being one of the "reasonable" ones?

I mean, how fucking pathetically obsessed do you have to be to preemptively complain about people complaining? Slowbeef has a pretty fucking unhealthy issue with people using the word SJW whether valid or not.

When you are a old fat man with a wife and kids with no real friends, you have to sometimes act butthurt to look cool with all your SJW hipster LP friends.... sad times, imo.
