I can't remember specifically it was this thread but I wound up with 'drowned in pussy juice' as a username for more than a year because of a GBS namechange thread and I survived as awful scum in more than one mafia game just because people were so annoyed by how dumb it was they just stopped ever referring to me so thank you if that was you

"too annoying to think about, much less target" is the reason why i've managed to survive several coups (long story), can confirm it works

One thing I find interesting about all these sagas are which ones broke outside of SA's orbit, and which one's didn't. Which ones are only for us and which ones become immortal online overall? What is about some sagas that makes them jump into the larger internet?

Anyway I found a PDF about P-P-P-Powerbook on an old HDD, which is honestly really weird. Why a PDF? I no longer remember.

E: Original thread is here! https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=1016390

probably depends mostly on the degree of knowledge of the forums is required to understand for it to make sense

grover and his swamp mcmansion is hilarious even if you don't know anything about him. on the other hand arguably the only lf story that doesn't require a forums history lesson is that it got closed because goons posted about assassinating the president (and maggotmaster was the only poster who didn't receive a SS visit because he doesn't live in the us. lol)

though the guy who received 700 dollars in donations and used it to buy pants is still pretty funny

what's this weird goon masochist mindset of "yeah this person is a terrible poster but i love having them around", not even that you like someone other people don't but "they suck poo poo and it's GREAT". it's not even just fishmech or pick every SA community i've been in either on or off the forums has at least one person who is incredibly terrible and obnoxious that some people treat as a mascot for some indiscernable reason.

whether or not you are clinically depressed submersing yourself in a firehose of despair whether it be twitter threads, climate catastrophe news or an SA politics "everything is hosed" thread is going to make you feel bad. you don't need to philosophize on "what is the nature of happiness" to come to this conclusion.

no the people spamming it were the type of people who would endlessly run anything into the ground long after it stopped being funny, and were already doing so before GS started probing. the only difference if GS hadn't probed it was the memes wouldnt have had his av in them
