This reads more like a Rebecca Gerber story than something that actually happened.

He probably heard his wife listening to NPR right before she rebuffed his sexual advances by claiming a headache. Or she just called Tyrone who knows with goons.
 
Mods please change my name to NPR's Right-wing Slant, I think it suits my avatar well.

This is why mods taking part in the discussions they moderate is a shitty idea. The WoW and movie subs went down the shitter due to that.

Never posted there, but I thought the WoW subforum's mod was pretty well thought of?

Turned to shit once Incoherence stepped down. The current moderator, can't remember her name right now, was chosen by a group of her own Discord buddies. She's an even whiter version of Koala's March, and brings the same level of politics into a fucking orc and elf game.

Ah, that explains it.

The WoW subforum was private so even when SA was good more suited to my level of autism, I never read it and hadn't heard the moderator switched, but I think the old one did it for like seven years or something?

I wonder who the longest serving mod currently is.
 
It's also important to note that a lot of "Something Awful Video Game Guild" stuff is no longer hosted on SA, but is handled off site (mainly via discord) so most people don't give a shit who the moderator is on any given subforum. There is very little to actually post about as well, because all "theorycrafting" stuff done offsite, all matchmaking is done offsite, spoiler chat is offsite, etc - all that's left for the forums is general posing - which isn't very fun.

The people who run the guilds/discord are typically not moderators of the forums and most (but not all) goon video games guilds include non-SA members to some degree, who are not subject to any of SA's rules.
 
I think this guy might be on the verge of some actual terrorist shit. He goes on about how sad he is that the world is going to end, and how he wanted to go to art school before he dies. He bitches about how it's illegal for him to instruct people to go out and do eco-terrorism and how he's been racking up diagnoses for mental health problems. He seems to be trying to announce that as soon as he finds some "allies" he'll start using violence to save the world from being destroyed.

Someone should definitely go and bomb something, he says:

Announces that he is about to cause something big:

Bailed out because no one else joined in. I'm pretty sure his 'metaphor' here would be bombs.

And of course he posts in TGRS about how terrible his white lineage is:

If there was ever a time to hope someone was just a deep troll, this would be it.

Well lucky for this guy he is just posting about being a literal terrorist, not proving FactsAreUseless is wrong in an argument.

I remember this Turtlicious guy. He became a laughing stock around when the Nintendo 3DS first came out for something not as concerning but equally dumb, so I've little to no reason to believe he would be a deep cover troll.

He felt that the game cases which 3DS games came in were too inconvenient, I guess, so he had a...unique idea which he was so particularly proud of that he bragged about it on the games forum, with pictures. I only ever found out about it because his avatar was edited by a mod to specifically link to that very post detailing all of this. All I can find is the aftermath of the whole mess.

This is the inside of a 3DS game case. That raised structure on the right houses the carts themselves. Using a pair of scissors, he cut out three of these holders and literally superglued them to the top plate of his 3DS. I suppose the idea was so he could "quickly" swap out one of four games which would be stuck to the back of his game console. I'm not entirely sure why, because portable games are both usually time wasters and also not something you need to swap out with some urgency.

Needless to say, he was laughed out of the thread. He did, however, try defending himself and his...I suppose you could call it an invention? Regardless, he tried to redeem himself by providing photographic proof that he removed the holders from the back of his game console. But, as I said, he superglued them on, so the plastic was scratched, chipped, and covered in dried glue. He then proceeded an attempt to placate everyone by further pushing that he's self aware enough to realize it was a bad idea, and that he corrected it. The debacle finished when he wound up buying new face plates, but he was known as "that glue guy" for few years after the fact.

I'm glad to see he's moved on from imbecilic modifications for children's toys to premeditating ecoterrorism.

IIRC Turtlicious was a Nice Guy/Incel type who for over a year had his own E/N containment thread called "ITT Turtlicious tries to understand women" or something like that. It was over a hundred pages long and by all accounts he made no progress in his quest to comprehend the feeeemales.
