    I think the worst thing about PirateSoftware is that he can have some surprisingly reasonable takes and nuggets of wisdom in his shorts that lure you in, but the moment you start getting into more of his content and actually try to figure out what he’s about as a person you discover he’s a smug asshole with an overdeveloped sense of self-righteousness. Some people never dig that deeply or simply don’t care if he doesn’t practice the mindfulness he preaches, these are his fans.

      if you watch his outer wilds playthrough you’ll see him struggle on puzzles for half an hour, look down pretending to think, then suddenly have the exact solution to the puzzle.

      dude has a serious case of ego

        i really dislike his playthrough because he skips so much. he approaches it like a pure puzzle game instead of a world.

        he plays it like joseph anderson except he pretends he’s doing things correctly and the game is wrong. joe knows he’s wrong and challenges the game to stop him.

      So my original assessment of him just being asmongold with enough self awareness to not act like a fool all the time was kind of correct?
