MODERATORS
Every time I see Pirate Software I do a double take because I actually met Thor in person multiple times (he is/was a friend of a friend). I’ve had conversations with him and spoke with him at parties. I had no idea he was a big streamer (Tho this was just before he used the algorithm to get big). Not gonna post more details because dox etc.
Let me just say- THIS GUY IS ALSO INSUFFERABLE IRL.
He would only ramble on about himself and he got offended by the most mundane shit at the drop of a hat. I tried engaging with him by showing him a trailer for Metal Hellsinger after he started talking about wanting to do a rhythm style shooter and he got mad (????? WHY????) and he just had no sense of humor, all ego, no fun allowed.
Anyway, he was booted from the friends group for a variety of reasons with Palestine being one of them. He is so insecure, which would be fine if he wasn’t an asshole.
So exactly like his online personality.
Pretty much!
I’m friends with a bunch of indie game dev’s and aside from that shared interest I had no idea why he was in the group because everyone else is way kinder and more fun to be around, especially his roommate at the time. I’m glad they finally booted him after he spread garbage everywhere. The rest of us completely support game preservation/piracy and it really irks me that he used his platform to attack gaming preservation and it was something that we argued about with him in person. (He did not like that I pointed out that offering your game free to torrent can be really helpful with marketing)
