Going to have to agree with toops on this, poutine is meh at best. Beef gravy on french fries is a crime... Never mind how fast it becomes a soggy mess of sadness

The only appropriate food is hotdogs with ketchup, relish, and mustard.

According to an reliable source, the origin of the moniker 'Bandit' is Ben's childhood dog of the same name.

Makes you wonder, what with his quotes about poop probably tasting good.

Maybe he ate one of Bandits... loafs. ...

"Ben, I'm sorry that it's come to this, but we need more time," Croberts explained, gesticulating wildly.
"But, but Chris, you can't-" Ben stammered through a veil of tears.
Croberts cut him off. "Time to realize the dreams, to make them real. You, of all people, should understand that."
"But I've given everything to you, to your dream!"
"You have given me disappointment, Ben. There is but one way now you can redeem yourself, and still serve me. See to it."
With a sob, the spheroid meat mass stumbled his way out of the office, towards home.

It took hours, but finally his preparations were complete. As he settled into the tub, Ben took in the pictures of Kerri Lee taped to the walls. She can't ignore me now, he thought to himself. He lifted the chain of his necklace over his head with an air of solemnity. Grasping his Pilgrim's Cross, he closed his eyes and prayed.
My life for the Stimperor.
Ben pressed the switch on the face of the cross and a small blade sprung from the bottom. He set it firmly against his left wrist and bore down upon it. The dull blade of the cheap movie prop sank deep into the voluminous blubber surrounding his wrist, but did not cut. Grunting, he applied all the might he could muster. With a tinny *twang* the blade snapped at the tang and flew across the bathroom, skittering out of reach under the sink.
Sweet Croberts, I'll have to find another way, he thought to himself. With a grunt, he attempted to rise, but the tub would not release its grasp. He had filled it so completely that he had formed an airtight seal. It wasn't until after another hour of futile attempts to exit the tub that the true horror of his predicament set in. No one would come for him. His wife had left him days earlier upon hearing the news. He couldn't escape under his own power. He couldn't even end himself. Water he had aplenty, but no food. He was going to starve to death... and at his weight, he would spend months doing it.

The last thing he ever saw as the candles burned down was the mocking smile of Kerri Lee.

Oh my god.

yeah basically it is a stop-gap measure for a lack of other all-night diners

if you live in Austin, TX, go to Star Seeds. Silly name, but when I lived there a couple years ago it was great food at a great price 24/7

I most want Waffle House hashbrowns when I'm 12oz of bourbon into a night and therefore can't drive to get it.

I haven't actually eaten in a Waffle House in like, a decade.

Serious long-post:

I think the different headspace and time frame is all important.

You also have to remember that Ben was a physically ill loser who felt shunned by society (now he's only a physically ill loser who feels accepted by his peers). Losers clustering together and giving each other props for being "hardcore" is nothing extraordinary. It is easy to look back on your own 20ies and say "Hey, I wasn't as bad as Ben", but then most of us weren't half-blind, chubby outsiders channeling their life into some obsession about an arguably enjoyable gaming franchise with a thin story and a news anchor on national TV. I am a sucker for difficult phases in life and got to know enough people who had troubles fitting into society, most of whom had a big problem finding a girlfriend or getting laid until their mid or even late 20ies. And most suffer tremendously from this experience and either feel something is wrong with them or something is wrong with society.

If I look at cultists like B'Tak, Dowlphin and that "I feel empty, like death (sic)" guy, it is easy to imagine they might be at best excentric characters. Look at Bunnyman and the other guys posing as Star Citizens in the revealing photo contest. We deride them, but this is them self-fashioning themselves on the mental stage offered by CR. Even worse are the whales, who despite their flaws managed to make an earning and now try to buy social prestige by "investing" into this circus freak show of a Space Sim. DickWulf, Seraph and weesha - nobody would argue they are well-rounded personalities.

As long as we poke fun at them in this thread: That's fine. But reaching out to destroy their livelihood - like siccening SJWs on a obviously unhealthy Ben - is to my mind callous if not sadistic and will not help them to find some solace late in their life.

Hitler makes some great points here.

No seriously though, this is a good post. The gut reaction everyone is having is totally appropriate, but what actions taken based on those feelings need to be considered carefully. It's fine to judge and mock and all that fun stuff, but it doesn't seem okay to launch an offensive to destroy the guy. Of course if there's evidence that people are being harmed here, that's another story. This case with Ben is genuinely a really hosed up gray area, and honestly if he was still working with children I think I'd have a different reaction.

I agree with Einbauschrank: when somebody doesn't have good social skills, or has lived through trauma and/or can't handle their emotions, they are forced to find some way to survive. The other choice is to not live, which people choose directly or indirectly every single day.

EightAce even mentioned that Ben is going through some poo poo, have empathy, even he's a human being etc. Unless there's evidence of harm or obviously illegal poo poo it seems like a campaign to ruin him is unnecessary.

That said, it seems like the cat is already out of the bag, making GBS threads and pissing on everything in the house already I wonder what'll happen next! :bandwagon:

As I said earlier, if he didn't keep shoving himself in the public eye, I would let it slide. But, you want the fame, you have to deal with the downside.

He also took that back earlier in light of some of these quotes

Seriously, I'm positive that should I, random jackoff, be discovered to have said these exact things, there would be people out there making sure people knew. Given the whole "mercilessly cuts down all criticism of this trainwreck/scam of a project" thing, I don't see why anyone would want to straight up give him a pass.

Then again, I'm more of the "put it out there so everyone knows" stance than a "make sure his life is ruined". If they end up the same thing, that's how the people around him view him.

I agree with seeing him as a human being with a likely tragic past, but what's wrong with getting Zoe Quinn/Fem Frequency/SJWs involved? If anything that would give him a huge amount of defenders (and be a lot more fun for us.)
