Apparently I'm addition to all the Sky House stuff, Sky Williams owes some $350,000 to various people who have loaned him money over the years.

In some instances he lied and said it was because his father had cancer and the money was to pay for treatment. And then after they found out his dad didn't have cancer, Sky said that his dad had lied to him about having cancer and that he (the dad) used the money on some kind of penis surgery.

At what point does reality stop being more absurd than fiction?
It's important to treat the things being exposed about these people seriously, and not like fictional drama that doesn't actually matter to anyone. Their actions hurt real-life people.

With that said, treating all the stuff being revealed about Sky as anything other than a badly-written TV show is difficult. My brain isn't wired to accept the level of absurdity being displayed.

I refuse to play Subnautica because of exactly what KP described, even though I feel like I'd most likely enjoy it
At one point early in the game I was swimming around for funsies and thought "alright, think I've got a handle on this game", saved (there's only one save file), and 1/10 of a second later got blindsided by a 50-foot long sea monster that had been sneaking up on me

I regularly consume horror media - games, movies, shows, stories - for fun and this is the only time I've tempted to stop playing because my nerves have had enough. There's something about descending several hundred meters below surface level, into pitch-black darkness, as the roars of giant sea monsters echo in the background, that triggers all sort of primal anxiety.

If Zero had immediately owned up to EVERYTHING in a way that wasn't manipulative as shit, I would have given him tentative support as an example of someone who can hopefully change for the better. Instead, he:

  1. Made a long post about how the community needs to improve ect. ect. while acting like he never did anything wrong
  2. Got called out, responded by not addressing any of the serious concerns and deflecting
  3. Lied multiple times in the response
  4. Got called out AGAIN, proceeded to make the entire thing about his personal trauma to engender sympathy
  5. 'Banned himself' from Smash events whatever the fuck that means
Just a bunch of textbook examples of a guy who regrets nothing except that he got caught, and is attempting to gaslight those who trusted him into continuing to trust him. His actions aren't as bad as outright monsters like Cinnpie and D1, but they were still bad, and he's done nothing to make up for it.

All things considered I think the 'charges' levied against him are very minor compared to what most of the other big stories are recently, but I think he's being caught in the crossfire of everything going on so any charges at all equate to 'cancelling' at this point so he's handling it very poorly.

From what I've heard the only reason the first accuser even called attention to him is because he posted this super holier-than-thou twitlonger acting like he was squeaky clean and above all the current allegations, and it reeeeally didn't sit well with her.

Zero's response to the allegations was "Half of it is true. The other half I'm not going to comment on because if it's true (which it probably is) it would make me look even worse. Also I had a traumatic childhood, please understand." And people are falling for it hook line and sinker.

07/02/20 5:42:45 PM

Here's my current take on The Last of Us 2 having been spoiled but not played it, which means my opinions are worth more than any of yours':

The number of fans I've seen (thankfully mostly not on this board) who are up in arms because Joel didn't 'deserve' to die is absolutely baffling. It's okay to like Joel, he was a good character who could be sympathetic, but he was also a real piece of shit and a relative of one of the NUMEROUS people he killed coming back to take revenge is the least-surprising plot point of all time.

I've seen so many people put Joel on a pedestal and it weirds me out, and the vitriol towards Abby gives me the same vibes I got from the Breaking Bad fanbase glorifying Walter White and calling Skylar a 'bitch' just getting in his way. Absolutely guaranteed that there's less outrage if a generic white dude had killed Joel instead of a muscle-y woman.

Not sure how anyone could lose their jobs for telling anyone about that

There's a difference between knowing someone is a scumbag - which communities frequently accept and normalize of people - and being confronted and told to do something about it. Communities don't like the latter, and especially not gaming communities.

So why the new account and name? Well, when I helped a player come out about their own sexual assault my career in esports was destroyed. Couldn't get a contract to write for any outlets (lost a job I was going for with ESPN even) and basically everything in competitive gaming shriveled up for me. I was "cancelled" for doing the right thing, and folks hero worshiping made that possible.

Hey, notice some of the names in this article about that? Some of the same people with accusations today. If you think it's a coincidence those people spoke out against me, you've might need to reexamine your thought process a bit.

Also looks like Sky Williams has been covering up several of these stories whoops
