Many of those people don't understand that not all break ups, friendships or otherwise, are explosive and messy, people just end up growing apart and its healthy to recognize this and know when its time to end things.

Then you have the folks who are all "but friends are forever guys!!" real life doesn't work like it does in anime.

I feel like I'm that one supporting/friend to the protagonist who maybe did something cool at one point, but now is basically irrelevant to the story but continues tagging along for reasons no-ones quite sure of.

I think a big catalyst for all of that kind of speculation was the fact that the current FNF which was supposed to be smash was cancelled due to an emergency

Rip best friends, I def feel the most for
Woolie. While prob the most criticized by comments for maybe not having the strongest possibility/qualities as the others, my man showed up for work every single day and was always putting in 100% at the office. And god damnit, he's black and likes Muse. My spirit brother forever.

I think we all saw the writing on the wall and many of us aren't very surprised by this. Throughout the years I never liked the way Matt would sandbag segments he wasn't feeling or would check out. That stuff gave me the impression he could be very passive aggressive and annoying to be around if he's wasn't getting his way. Doubly moreso if he behaved that way with boss stuff. I know I would get very tired of that.


I want to also throw a huge recommendation for Funhaus. They're great for anyone like me whose work/life obligations keep them from consuming hours of content every day as all of their uploads are about an hour of play very well edited down to 10-15min.

At first I didn't like the editing cause I still did the fast and loose style of sbfz but I came to adore it if not because they're such a huge time saver.

These were the vids that got me hooked on them. Big, big loving laughs here when get started talking about Joel Schumaker hating women and only wanting to cast big oily jacked dudes for Batman & Robin :laugh: there's a reason clip has 1.2 million views.

They also do a few podcasts if you want more longform stuff. They also just added Alanah Pierce from IGN, who I wasn't sure of at first (not because IGN is questionable or anything but solely because I hate all women, drat fake gamer m'ladies trying to steal our hobby for themselves in favor of big feminist agenda) but she's real as gently caress, has had a impact on the channel having more scripted segments, which I believe work extremely well even tho they're mainly all about improv and she's not afraid to say anything really. Just a great group overall. Which means their inevitable disbanding is just a few months away...

I haven't followed these guys for too long compared to some people itt but woolie always seemed like the most together and professional of the three

I don't like Matt's vibe of insane frenetic forced energy and constant jump cuts and editing for a relentless pace you get on his channel compared with sounding like hes about to take a nap under the desk in the main channel vids. He's clearly, obviously more satisfied doing one over the other and is bad at pretending with people he doesn't like. I hope he cheers up and feels more satisfied and in control of things after this all blows over.

Ah, that was the term I’ve been trying to recall. People are dealing with a unexpected pseudo breakup and I bet some enterprising PhD student could make a very interesting paper out of all this. Wasn’t there a Netflix documentary about this sort of thing recently?

But yeah seeing their fans go through this really does resemble like a bad breakup. People are taking sides, and are legit hurting over this. The way I see it is more like a long-running tv series ended and I'll still be able to see these guys in their separate channels and stuff. The nature of Youtube/Twitch/podcasts/etc makes it seem like you're in the room with them or whatever and they are your friends, but they aren't despite how much that content creator tells you. The effects of parasocial relationships and how they end is going to have some pretty bad consequences in the future. We're just barely starting to see it right now.

We can always hope there's just never another David Cage game. It's probably better for everyone.

Otherwise, I'd really like to hope that with some time between now and whenever that theoretical game is, it's something they'd be okay getting together to do a stream of it or something.
