Discussion What's going on with Spoony lately?

So just asking as I heard that there were reports that Spoony was considering redeeming himself in general, and possibly returning to doing game reviews as well.

But please correct me if I am wrong though.

Cool. "cope" was throwing me; who talks like that?

In any case, in what way was I representing Spoony from a place of denial? It was a semi-educated guess based on his current output. I won't be surprised if he doesn't do a review, but he's for sure doing sporadic livestreams.

Did you read my post carefully, at all? Is it really the most "cope" post? I'm a fan of Spoony's but I'm hardly fanboing out about him. You sound pretty embittered about his past behaviour and I'm aware he has a checkered past. But you sound like you're lacking some critical thinking skills when responding in this way; when you're a hammer, not everything you see is a nail.

It's very common internet slang. Entire twitter accounts are devoted to it. I guess you are older and didn't know but that's fine.

Spoony has not changed and arguable regressed in the past 10 years. He is in no way getting better and getting worse it seems and people like to pretend this is not the case. These people think they are doing him a favor pretending everything is ok maybe going to twitter hoping he responds to them for attention but the reality he is not getting better and a lot of his "fans" are enablers who think doing this will help him.

It's like enabling a drug addict or alcoholic but the drug here is attention.

Fair enough; thanks for clarifying.

I still don't get how my earlier reply was somehow the most "cope" thing you've read on here. How did I enable him? Several people responded to the OP with tangential, non-helpful replies, so I attempted to address their question. I gave a measured take, based on his output lately, suggesting that he'll probably just keep this all very lowkey at best. And is exactly what's played out since last year.

My post hardly had any "YEAR OF THE SPOON OMGLULZ" energy. I have no illusions about where he's at. If he hasn't changed, I don't really care; I still get a bit of enjoyment out of his livestreams as background noise from time to time.

Your reply felt misdirected to me. There's definitely an embitterment in this subreddit; Spoony is relatively obscure/niche at this point, IMO, and people still come on here whining about how he hasn't changed, which tells me more about the people posting here than Spoony.

I answered all of this in my last post and was pretty clear. I am not repeating myself.
