He performed superhuman feats of boredom and endurance to get his channel certified. I seem to recall he counted to a million in another stream. I was really confused when the popular media started talking about someone I knew as a sideshow freak in a similar genre to LA Beast. The guy isn't dealing with the normal human configuration of brain goo. His relationship with human suffering is fucking WEIRD. It's like he's lost the ability to comprehend what it is, and he just walks around faking it. It kinda scares me that he is so powerful now. Both in the immediate, "he's going to fuck shit up," sense, and also as a microcosm. permalink fedilink source parent
