Scott's my favorite Youtuber by some distance but...

i've found scott the woz to be much harder to watch and enjoy once my headphones broke. he'll be talking at an acceptable volume one moment and then say something completely inaudible the next, and most of the time it's either a punchline or part of his point. it's really only possible to make out what he's saying half the time without jumping back if you're wearing headphones.


Yeah this is a pretty big deal to me as well. It always seems to be at it's worst in specials. Like the Chibi Robo vid was barely understandable to me in it's first 10 minutes before Jeb & Rex showed up. The Trial also had such a quickfire of jokes, I couldn't keep up at all.

If that's the worst thing I can say about him though, it shows just how good he is.
Same, these acting videos in particular are especially difficult to understand, the jokes come at such a high pace that there's barely any time to process what you hear, and the varying volume for on-screen and off-screen texts just makes it even more difficult to make out. It's such a bummer, too, because you just know that almost every single gag is gold, but you just can't make them out without rewinding once or twice. It really makes me wish he'd provide sub titles for all of his videos by default.
Feel free to visit my website/blog - it's updated rarely, but it looks pretty cool!
Scott dissed the TurboGrafx-16, he is worse than Margaret "my grave is a public bathroom" Thatcher (exaggeration pls dont kill me)

I keep forgetting that TurboGrafx-16 is a console platform. I know it has some gems in there, but still. A shame the release outside of Japan was so delayed that it largely got overshadowed by SNES and Sega Genesis.

STELLA!
I keep forgetting what is a Turbografx until I remember it's the PC Engine, and I instantly remember how much cool stuff there is on it. lol I don't think most of the good games were released worldwide though, so I can understand why it's a forgotten console.

To be fair, I think way more about the PC Engine CD than the regular one, but still... I just find it a pretty cool console.

Also, I've watched a few Scott the Woz videos, he's pretty nice, I usually don't like videos full of skits on them, but he keeps a nice balance and is also not too tryhard or anything. I still prefer more grounded videos when it comes to serious reviews, but I haven't really found any video of his that is straight up bad, which is more than I can say for most of the people that to mix comedy with game reviews.

Argghhh, we're gonna be in a full lockdown over here for the first time, for well over a month, even. I'm panicking so hard, man. I can't handle that right now, I was already pretty stressed out.

Such a shame when it seemed as if Holland would avoid the worst and we were pretty much entirely without restrictions from June to September. This is a big smack in the face.
Same here, it was just decided that we'll have another full lockdown. It's more than necessary, though, because infection numbers just keep rising and rising in Germany. They've basically reached their highest point ever, and the "light" lockdown we've started a while ago didn't turn out to help at all.
Feel free to visit my website/blog - it's updated rarely, but it looks pretty cool!
We had quite a bunch of lockdown periods over my city, the latest one being due by tomorrow, but I don't know what benefits we gain from very few days, given that we just reached the highest peak of infection regardless of our efforts #smrpg{ohno}

Then again, some people are flat out irresponsible after all. Let's hope (and pray) for the best.

I jumped the gun a little with my panic as we can still go outside and invite 2 guests over. For me that kind of means nothing changes besides not having to go to college for slightly longer than the usual 2 weeks.

I really hope you lot will be okay and the vaccinations could help us get out of this before 2021 is over.
Well, this christmas already feels a lot more hopeful than my last christmas was. Which is strange because I didn't have to deal with the COVID-19 bullshit last year. One notable difference is I was without my girlfriend last christmas.

Whatever the case, I hope your holidays are going well.

STELLA!
Hi there, people.

I am coming here to say goodbye. It's been a short while since my last apparition here and on Discord. As some of you know, my mother and I had an accident about 3 weeks ago, in which I slipped from a wet ladder and she broke her wrist. A week later, a neighbor dear to us, which was my deceased grandfather's wife and was in hospital, has passed away. My mother had to go into surgery five days ago, and she's unable to do home stuff, and since we're the only ones living together, I have to take care of everything here.

Not only that, you may also know about how well I go with her, or actually, how well we don't go with. The arguments, her current dependance on me, the lack of money and job, and everything else that exists to frustrate, enrage, demotivate and sadden me brought me into depression... not the first time it happens, but now it came real hard. So hard I don't talk to anyone anymore now, and don't even feel like doing any kind of hobbies or pastime. Usually I'd go play some games to fight boredom, but all I want is to sleep.

Added to all those things, and returning to the familiar issues which also affect how finances are handled here, next month I won't have internet access anymore. My options just become fewer and fewer, until I have nothing else to do. And in my current state, completely depressed, I am forced to take more heartbreaking decisions, such as abandoning SMWC and breaking my own promise of finishing SMWCP2. I don't have the strength to carry on with it - honestly, I don't see any point in carrying on with it, as it doesn't bring me any satisfaction and joy nowadays. Yeah, this is me. Breaking promises time and time again. Most of them I did in this very website... and it happens once again.

So yeah, people. Time for me to go - permanently. Thanks everybody for everything, and my apologies once again for breaking promises, and well... being who I am. Sure no one is perfect, but man, I am so flawed as a person that nothing can describe it. Stay well.

Oh man. I'm really sorry life is hitting you so hard - you really do strike me as someone who deserves better.

It's probably a good choice to cut the less important things from your life right now. I hope things will turn out better for you soon.


 
I'm so sad to see you go, Blind Devil. You've stayed by my side when I was growing up around SMWCentral, and will always have a place in my heart.
Just so you know, I'm very active on the site anymore like I was before; I'm mainly on Discord now.
I'm sorry that life has been so hard on you, Blind Devil, you seriously don't deserve any of it... please don't feel any guilt for abandoning a hobbyists' project, it is seriously not that important. Go get your stuff together and thanks for everything. It'll get better.
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
Holy shit. I'm sorry to hear how life's been hitting you really sharply, Blind Devil. You really deserve better. Thanks for everything.

And yeah, taking care of important matters should be your top priority right now. May your situation improve at some point.

I suppose you won't be seeing this anymore, but like the others have said, don't be too hard on yourself. You're not really any more flawed than all of us, and noone is disappointed in you for not being able to finish SMWCPII. Not only do you have good reasons for it, but you were always doing it voluntarily and in your own free time, anyways. There was no obligation for you to work on it in the first place, and yet you did. You accomplished quite a lot in your time working on it. No need to feel bad for that. You really just took a job that noone else was willing to, and for that alone you deserve respect. I'm sure the effort you put into the game won't go to waste and someone else will pick up where you left off. In any case, you don't need to feel guilty.

I know you said you will leave permanently, nevertheless I hope we'll see you again in the future if your life situation has improved and stabilized. Don't forget that you're always welcome here. Best of luck!

That's a shame, as someone who has been in the SMWCP2 discord server for over a year, i have seen a lot of you and how much you worked to finally complete a project that has been going on for almost a decade. You're definitely a very talented person as it is very hard to find someone who's good at almost every area of SMW hacking, like ASM, music porting, level design and so on, it's very unfortunate that you have to leave, i wish the best for you.


We all wish you the best, BlindDevil, you've been an amazing individual and I hate to see you going through things like this, especially seeing your mother in the hospital; it's a very tough thing, and having all the burden on your shoulders, it's a huge responsibility. The only thing I can say is do your best, but do be sure to know what takes priority in your life, family over work/job. It's going to be a very tough road from here on out.
It's a tragedy that life has to treat you like this, but if you must leave then that may simply be the best choice. Don't worry about 'breaking promises' to a board of romhacking enthusiasts when you're burdened with so much.

When days are brighter, I hope you can still stop by and give us the good news about your circumstances. In the meantime, we all wish you the best of luck!


Other Submissions of mine!
I am so sorry to hear all of that man, I really hope for you all of this bullshit could stop so you can finally have some bright days again.

I wish I could do more to help.
