Modest living, I guess. Plus, if he bought a bigass mansion he'd have to pay a fuckton in taxes.

Yeah, but there's a middle ground between living in a 600sqft studio to save money and living in a 20 room mansion, though. At the very least, owning a small home would be less costly in the long run.

He made a video about it if you wanna watch it. In it he goes over some of the finer details that the tweets don't explain, including that he wasn't recording in his usual spot and that he wasn't doing a solo vid at the time. It's also got footage of the guys being interrupted by the landlord (they weren't filming at night).

I'm more curious why that landlord thinks gay sex sounds like a pewdiepie video.

Or how he just recently heard pewdiepie recording a video after however long he lived there.

He records in a room packed to the brim with soundproof foam-boards.

edit: Oh, Pewds listens to Deafheaven. That's... yeah, alright! Yeah!

Well, from the video footage, it doesn't necessarily sound like he was kicked out because of the landlord's feelings about gay people. The subtitles aren't matching up with what's being said, and the guy who answered the door wasn't exactly on his best behavior either, plus the tweet version of the story seems to be embellished by pewdiepie, which is weird because he's posted the video footage right there. I'm thinking it's because they returned the attitude and that landlord has anger issues. I agree it was a bullshit excuse that wouldn't fly with evidence, but I'm still fairly sure the reason the landlord decided on it was separate from any thought or implication that they might be gay. It sure wouldn't be the first time pewdiepie represented a situation different from reality...

edit: Just to clarify, I'm not saying whether the landlord is or isn't a homophobe. I'm just saying he's probably an rear end in a top hat with a short fuse that would have done it even without the unnecessary comments.

Then again, with who it is I kind of doubt it being the first ever issue. Like he might have a soundproof recording room now but has he always? Cause if I heard the average pewdiepie video screaming through the walls pretty much ever, I'd be complaining.

Also if it turns out he's misrepresenting this as a homophobia thing, he can eat a XXXL pile of poo poo for trying to pull sympathy from problems of a group he's not even in.

Well, he has a ridiculously sound-proofed room for recording and was doing his poo poo on the other room during the day. Like, it was 6:30pm in the case in question, even if it was a weekly occurance I still don't think it's grounds for eviction - although God knows how that poo poo works in England.

I just tend to side with the tenant on these issues because I've seen friends get "noise complaints" for playing acoustic guitar at moderate volumes in the evening.

I don't think you can just evict people in the UK. And on homophobic grounds? - that's potentially straight into court with you regardless of if the person you're evicting is gay or not.

Landlords have pretty much all the power in Britain. Eviction without notice is 100% illegal but fighting it costs so much, and there's so little compensation you can claim from it, that there's pretty much no point bothering.

He has. Even made a vid about how he changed and how he feels bad about the stuff he has done. And slowbeef said that PDP personally thanked him because he learned a lot when they made fun of him in a retsupurae vid. He's still pewdiepie and still too annoying for me to watch, but there's been a huge improvement.

He's a LOT less annoying than he was in the footage from the retsupurae video. I don't make it a point to watch all of his videos, but if he's played something I want to watch, I'll check it out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-Mz1nscx4k

He's much more subdued, which in some ways makes him a good deal more boring. He really struggles to be funny in ways other than screaming and vulgar jokes. Ironically, he's ended up just as dull as all the crappy PewDiePie imitators.

Undertale has an excellent message and it's written beautifully, and there is perhaps something to be said for getting people who don't usually play games to give it a shot. It could be a first step towards making this industry look a bit more respectable.

Of course, this sort of process should be undertaken by someone with a better perspective on things.

Undertale's gameplay is a deconstruction of decades old NES JRPGs mixed with bullet hell, the crack cocaine of video game action. It's not an entry level game. I think even the pope will find it hard to appreciate Undertale without context.
