Does anyone have the story of the incomprehensible MSPaint of the goon as a kid pissing and making GBS threads himself on the ceiling?

The "best" poster from that era was Unscented, whose big plan to stop Those Darn Illegals was a "self-healing minefield" on the border. He also believed Hispanic Texans all had a reconquista agenda, Muslims were plotting a Sharia takeover, and that bisexuality wasn't real. Peruse his rap sheet and be amazed at how long he lasted!

One of the original drawings got sold on ebay for hundreds of dollars a few months ago?

Zybourne Clock was such a dumb idea that it's very difficult to tell after the fact what was legitimate stuff from the people working on it and what was stuff making fun of it.

there was very little actual work done on the project, mostly just ideas and concept art. it was such an astoundingly bad idea though that it instantly inspired a far heavier volume of parody and mock interpretation

I think about why I did that sometimes, and I think that illusion of "we are having a Serious Salon review of intellectual pursuits and philosophies" bullshit that hung around D&D made me think that people were going to engage in it honestly, maybe reexamine their on biases, and also provide critiques of the ideas that weren't just protoracism. Post911 world was fun. I still get a laugh over D&Ders going " ah, excuse me, LOGICAL FALLICY: Appeal to Authority" like it was some YuGiOh trap card poo poo.

That narrative post about "you see child, this is the Zybourne Clock, the most important device in all of creation" leading to the goober monologuing in the middle of HighSecurity Steamtrain sector and the kid turning into an arrestbot was pretty  Famethrowa posted:Was it the "imagine a marble" copy paste origin?

Which makes the fact that it has been such a longstanding point of reference even funnier, all the parodies and such are based on basically five pencil sketches and two map mockups and since parodies were made contemporaneously with them they get lumped in as actual sincere work. Like this drawing was done by a different poster copying the style of the Johnny Fiveaces drawing as a joke but was almost immediately circulated as sincere and then served as the basis for one of Gauss' paintings.   That's one more thing that sucks about 2020, now I can't even look at classic Zybourne Clock fan art without being reminded that a raging transphobe was behind the best of it.

That's right, some poor soul at the BBC had to try to write a news story describing the Zybourne Clock. I've never been prouder of these stupid forums than when this happened.

Oh the original image works if you're looking at the working waffle mirror. My bad figured you had the pic but didn't have the explanation Here is how to get waffle to work for some images you need something like tampermonkey: Posted by Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:

I wouldn't buy into the branding of colleges, honestly. most people at famous colleges aren't usually smarter, just better connected (or from an inbred clan of old money idiots who donate a lot  )Sure, the MITs of the world can afford to buy more extraordinarily smart people because they have old stacks of money, but that's basically branding money for them.

Was Zybourne "developed" in an actual thread or was all the work actually done in PMs/off-site. Every story I've heard about it has been second-hand.

I'd like to think I got better. It's only aged poorly mostly because the discourse masked itself as intelligentsia like all the annoying social media atheists and since the rise of the alt-right in the public awareness much of that "hmm well technically" crowd has shown their colors as essentially white nationalists or at least perfectly fine catering to them. There must've been at least one person who was ideologically consistent and not just secretly racist but that was only from a position of ignorance and unawareness, not actual malice.

According to the relatively contemporaneous write-up on http://shii.bibanon.org/shii.org/knows/Zybourne_Clock.html the forums that the actual "development" took place on was http://www.edgeoftheinternet.com/RPG but t no archives were made and now there's just a domain squatter on it.

Zybourne Clock is a pretty cool title, though. Certainly catchy. I'd say Adam Jensen was shown looking suspiciously like Johnny Five-Aces, but in retrospect I'm pretty sure he was meant to be basically just JC Denton.

Adam Jensen basically just looks like his VA with a goatee. He's not doing a silly voice for the game either, he just sounds like that normally.

I remember he sat in on an LP of DE:HR and it was weird to hear him just talking about the game, it would be like listening to John St. John talk about stuff but his IRL voice is Duke Nukem.

I'd like to think I got better. "I Was a Teenage Libertarian!" is the secret origin story for about 3/4 of the various socialists in CSPAM, so I wouldnt feel too bad about it. I knew a girl who read Ayn Rand at 19 and took like a whole decade to grow out of it. The proto-bear thing might have been weird here, but i wasted a lot of time arguing with creationists on various forums (FARK) in the early 00s and dumb poo poo like that is a common dodge for biblical literalists. Dealing with those people too much will push you into smug fedora athiest territory.
