UNDERTALE 10th Anniversary Stream - Day 2
Forums user "Everdraed" shows up and talks about making one of the final bosses.
He talks goony and his mouth is covered ...but I assume that it's not because he has a fucked up grille or anything.

apology for poor english

i was sat at home doing the shitposting. See thread has bump.

'Everdraed is faggot'
'no'



Yeah, so. Long story short, she and I kind of fell off a few years ago, she decided to leave, we did some marriage counseling, she agreed to stay and give things another go but was never really happy. Recently she got her own broken brain a bit more in order and worked her way up management track at her job and finally found stable footing to leave and not be homeless on her own financially (Spoiler: She learned she wasn't quite making enough. Had to get a second job anyway) and around the same time she met a guy online and they started long distance dating.

I did some snooping on her computer because I got paranoid, found their private messages, she was telling him all about her plans to leave long before she had someone to launch off onto.

So she's moved out, I filed for divorce last week, we're doing a debrief style end of marriage marriage counseling just to try to make us both less crazy when this all shakes out. I'd like to continue being friends with her, we've been together for 21 years, I don't know if I'm going to manage to stay friends, she drives me up a wall.

I did post a couple dirty photos of her I had taken to Discord, I had her permission to share them, but I removed them under suggestion of the guys in the Discord. Don't share them around publicly, that's all I ask. She's literally planning on starting an OF, at least give her the $5 or whatever she wants for a sub lol.

So the outcome is she's not contesting me keeping the house, we've split all the possessions pretty fairly, I wrote a clause in our marriage settlement agreement guaranteeing her space for storage because she moved into a tiny little studio apartment, and I'm generally a nice guy even if you aren't that nice, it's just who I am.



And nothing ever happened with her kayaking trip friend, that woman is the straightest woman I have met, she is man crazy. She might cut you if you suggested she may be into women.


And yeah I have said a lot of embarrassing things in Discord the last couple weeks. Guys, I've been with her since I was 18, I turn 40 in the spring, I have had my entire adult life with this woman. Of course my shit is all fucked up right now. For a bit I even considered being friends with benefits with her after our divorce. Yeah, just being friends after all this is still probably ill advised.

Haha, I had completely forgotten what Sassy looked like but you're right.


Yeah, she was planning on telling me that evening when I got home from work, she legitimately did not realize I sometimes get bored and check Reddit at work.
I mean yeah when I'd come over to fuck her while you were at work she didn't seem very happy.

Who gets the cuck chair in the divorce?
 
I assume, in lieu of children, you're going to share custody of the lego sets?
I've been selling off the Lego, I've made a couple grand already
Wow what an absolute shocker that all the billowing "that relationship was fucked and cucked" smoke turned out to be coming from a raging fire, man what a shocker, I am gobsmacked that easily identifiable patterns are identifiable

Since we're in a sharing mood, what was the low down with the insurance fraud
What insurance fraud?

Why post it on discord at all? Do you have no friends to vent to?

Honestly, you should bang her once. I've never been divorced, but had a couple messy breakups when I was younger, and the sex after the messy breakup is usually better than the sex when you're together. Don't turn it into a thing where you keep banging her and she eventually starts staying over and shit though. Also, don't do it if you think she's going to do something retarded like start crying halfway through.

I have friends, but believe it or not I actually liked some of the SS guys enough to consider them friends. And as such, I shared my update with them.
 
Hi I'm the poster formerly known as Aran, previous SomethingSensitive admin, current sad sack
And cuck. Don't forget literal actual cuck who found out he was being dumped on Reddit.

She's literally planning on starting an OF, at least give her the $5 or whatever she wants for a sub lol.
Wait why is she starting the OF? You have the bigger set of tits.

Wow what an absolute shocker that all the billowing "that relationship was fucked and cucked" smoke turned out to be coming from a raging fire, man what a shocker, I am gobsmacked that easily identifiable patterns are identifiable
I mean I was fucking his wife on the side all the way back in the SS days. The relationship was never healthy.

What insurance fraud?
The one where you would get your shitbox car or bike hit and then sue the insurance company, rinse and repeat.
 
Something Awful is quite unique that even the spinoff sites manage to capture the same level of cringe, dirty laundry, and complete embarrassment from it's own userbase.

I'm genuinely embarrassed for you Silas - reading every one of those posts made me viscerally ill. I have zero idea why you would volunteer any of this information to Kiwi Farms.

I can explain that. We were warned that the internet would make you stupid and to not take it seriously. Those warnings were not heeded and instead people decided to make treehouse forums where they doubled down on creating stupid meta drama. Reddit has the same thing in rdrama.net/

More broadly: The internet has literally been VERY serious business ever since the smart phone and we're all worse off for it.

I think if what we knew then what we know now, goons would have deathstar-ed the site 20+ years ago. I remember Lowtax tweeting about how CNN reached out to him wanting to interview him about how image macros became memes and that made him want to kill himself. Guess there was some truth to that statement lol

Irrelevant fun fact, but I'm convinced that a handful of well known SA posters came over from Starman.net (the OG Earthbound fan site back in the day). That includes Everdraed. (There is a character with that name in the game but it's spelled without the letter a). The users usually had the same screen names over on those forums and on SA would sometimes have Earthbound related avatars, so even if it was an innocuous username, the avatar gave them away.

Funnily enough for such a cringe fan base, the two founders seem to be good people. Reid Young started Fangamer which seems to have been an extremely successful venture, and Clyde has always just been a professional translator that works on all sorts of projects. Both married women that they met working on the site, but mostly just keep to themselves and have successfully managed to not be weird internet people.
 
my favorite joose story is the dude that was gonna take a bus across america and tell people about dah joose!

turns out when you at the bus station and tell the people at the bus station you have drugs....you will get beat and your drugs taken.
 
The guy who ordered the baby grand piano on Amazon was pretty good, too. Really, all of the stories about Joose-zombie shopping sprees on Amazon were great. And the guy whose fiancee's father threatened to kill if he ever came near his daughter again. Oh well, time to eyeball another dose.

I think we can agree that the utterly degenerate TCC stories were the bread and butter of the forum - shit so bad that even Hunter S Thomson would have been saying, dial it back a bit won't you?

Meanwhile over in the Simpsons meme thread, an edgy meme starts a miniature slapfight over... Eric Clapton? Let's play Goon Bingo and see if you can score the jackpot:

The initial meme:
1758802484356.webp
Not bad, not bad. Edgy shit but whatever, that's what we're here for right, everyone can make fun of everyone, classic 2000s era SA.
1758802553349.webp
Ahhh, that's the stuff.

After a few lame jokes thrown around now that the target has been established as safe, a poster attempts to try and run minor defence for Clapton while leaving plenty of room to denounce all the mean and bad things he's said and done:
1758802646923.webp

Well, it's a small essay but let's see the clever retorts:
1758802720831.webp
1758802745214.webp
(I thought this one was a joke at first but I think he's actually serious)

Feeling the tide turning against him by virtue signalling posters and threadlurkers revealing themselves to try and score internet ass pats, Cosmik starts walking things back while still trying to articulate the influence that Clapton had on the musical genre all to defend a pet black old timey blues musician that you have to credit for everything because once someone does something in a rudimentary form first everything that stems from it is either stolen or bare minimum requires constant memorializing:
1758802847825.webp

And what does all this get him?
1758802970712.webp

That's the thing about SA - even the most anodyne of threads that are actually entertaining (the Simpsons thread is literally ripped memes from Facebook and Reddit, hence their status as funny) are constantly in threat of being derailed into a gay and retarded struggle session as soon as something goes vaguely off-the-rails politically. And as soon as they do people you've never seen post before suddenly pop up to cheer on resident thread house niggers and golden troons who can do no wrong.
