And lol that's the perfect analogy it was levels of watching someone make incredibly poor life decisions through extreme mental illness and being powerless to stop them, and in the end just watching because what the gently caress, you can't change anything so might as well keep tabs on the unbelievable looming car crash. No one was cheering him on but plenty of rubbernecking over the ridiculous situation

El Grillo posted:Eonwe were you aware of the Caro stuff going down in 2011? If so, did GiP basically drive a clearly mentally ill/schizophrenic person to go to Libya and Syria to 'prove himself' to them? I've had a read of some of the stuff and it's so immensely hosed up even for SA. What a rabbit hole. im pretty sure goons actually actively tried to talk him out of going from what I heard, but no, I wasn't aware of it until later and I've never read any thread by Caro actually he apparently lived very near me in Dallas tho? idk

Mendrian posted:I get that the guy is/was an obvious schizophrenic but what was this surgery that he was supposedly performing? He preformed some sort of surgery in Libya after claiming he was a medic (because he watched a bunch of surgical videos on YouTube or WikiHow or something like that). It might've been an appendectomy.

He has been a figure for a while who was convinced there was a cia conspiracy and gangstalking against him, and people could only watch in horror as he went to go and do unlicensed surgery he learned from YouTube on people yea, i think this

He posted on one of his many reregs saying he'd learned how to do field surgery off Youtube and was operating on guerrillas in Libyan hotels. Everybody was like 'lmao you're full of poo poo' and then he started posting videos where he was actually in Libya and performing amateur surgery and it went from funny japes to quote:Also how the gently caress did this guy get to Syria? It sounds like he'd have a hard time getting out of the house without being arrested, reading some of his posts. i really have no idea on this one.

So I took a day-and-a-half break to try and catch up on the F.A.T.A.L. and Friends thread in Traditional Games. I come back, see +1900 posts since I last read, and think "....nah, if something really has happened, that number would be MUCH higher." Aside from EightAce going Full that seems to be correct. Oh, and my idea to call a Sports radio show was Two Weeks'd. No refunds, sorry.

I used to be like ooh 500 posts since I went to sleep has a thing happened, but most of the time it's just shitposting and I am ok with it. I love when a new catastrophe happens and we can have a good laugh but I also like catching up with how my thread pals have been posting cats and recipes and good things in elite. It's good to be chill and have a good time and not get frustrated when there's not a new big thing. There's lots to laugh at and no hurry to see it through imo

He went to Turkey, found people who could get him across the border. Apparently the first try failed and he got kicked backed into Turkey. He made his contacts in Turkey so uncomfortable they reported they were actually relieved when he disappeared. His second attempt to enter Syria obviously worked. His last contact was made from Turkey, immediately before attempting another crossing. I think the medical stuff he did was IVs and cleaning wounds, learned from watching Youtube videos. He also acted as a sniper in Libya and seems to have shot some of Gaddafi's regime forces.

He flew to a border country (I think Turkey?) then crossed in via taxi by telling people he was there to support the rebels. There was a report from the hotel he stayed at on the border. He was presumed dead because a British prisoner who was released claimed he died in one of Assad's black site prison camps. This is an article from pre-release that surmises he died: http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/syria-isis-kevin-dawes

His last contact was made from Turkey, immediately before attempting another crossing. He made a supreme loving effort to make it happen, he was really determined to be a war tourist. I feel bad for him in many ways because through extreme mental illness he had the drive to do pretty much the worst thing you could do with your life and short of him being sectioned there was no stopping him. I hope he will be ok and get the help he needs

So a new game (early access) was released on steam: Game Tycoon 2 What are the chances we can build a development studio and run it like CIG, into (short term) financial success? I'll be very disappointed if there is no 'snort coke and then ramble on camera for 2 hours' option for media presence http://store.steampowered.com/app/404640/?snr=1_5_9__205

He is a video editor or something and have nothing to do with the game. He is literally a token black guy 3/4) Lando is a crazy fan who somehow got hired, he did some weird puppet videos about star citizen using an old Lando action figure. He seems to give no poo poo about Star Citizen now and will often do his thousand yard stare, among other things. some goons like him for it. 5) since nothing happens in SC, most of their live-streams is just rambling about wing commander, movies and what they had to eat.
