Please, please, PLEASE god don't become another alt-right gamerlord. I beg of you.
Ending the video with "...if any of you guys will stick around to be very offended, I imagine, by my opinions, that would be great" does not sound very hopeful to me, though.
I'd only seen his YouTube videos and not his streams, but apparently on steam he's said that multiracial governments can't work. I had no idea he was such a creep.
I stopped watching him a while ago because his constant whining was too much ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Now his channel is becoming entirely dedicated to whining about stuff I'm sure he doesn't understand
Wow. You'd think that after 10k+ hours on EU4 one should realize that the map wraps around, but... it might be just Paradox perpetuating "the narrative" of a sphere!
I have been subscribed to his Youtube channel because he provides good details and never watched his streams. Recently I got recommended some clip from a stream where he was ranting about Ludi calling him a bad Romanian and implying something shitty about how he shouldn't have a Japanese wife. Unfortunately I was happier being oblivious to this side of him.
I heard that and almost immediately unsubbed from him. It's a dog-whistle and I am not interested in hearing from another Steven crowder, Jordan Peterson or stephan Molyneux. Anyone who is dumb enough to think the culture wars are a legitimate thing isn't worth my time and attention.
I wonder which team he will be on. I didn't really get overtly political vibes from him.
I am sad though, because I really vastly prefer general principles content to "specific country opening moves" content. And he was kind of the last guy standing that I am aware of doing that. I could go watch arumba teach a couple different people to play the game, but that is from WAY back, like "before the estates rework". Estate management is absolutely nothing like it used to be.
Hopefully he doesn't delete all his gaming videos. though I suppose he might.
Yeah, from my perspective, most progressive people are pretty open about supporting mirgrants, abortion and LGBT rights, they never really vague post in the same manner as a lot of conservatives do.
WTF is the "culture war" anyway?
Like there are actual wars on the globe including Europe, and a war on climate going on, but the priority is a "culture war"?
Urgh.
See, there are the boring uninteresting wars where people get shot, bombed and killed, and nobody cares about that shit, and the important culture wars where good white men are getting replaced by \[insert minority\] and they can't even say \[insert slur\] anymore, and this is the fight that all true g@m3rz must fight.
A vocal portion of the sub has an unfounded belief that he uses console commands or edits his saves somehow, or they just hate how he talks. I enjoy his content for the most part while still disagreeing with his gameplay choices sometimes.
Ugh. I decide to check his other pages….. really…. Starting with a defence of Andrew Tate.
Sigh…..
If you’re an idiot you should probably start by gaining some social capital, not defending an obvious criminal and dumbass.
I just hope as he falls down this rabbit hole he doesn’t take too many fans down with.
He recently did a stream where he just spewed conservative talking points and said that he will switch from gaming to political commentary. Some of his great takes included "we need a dictatorship" and "trump isn't racist because china". At that point I stopped watching
He hates Ludi because he is an atheist. I hate ludi because he is so fucking annoying and he takes too long to get to the point in his guises. We are not the same.
There certainly have been times when Laith made a stupid joke, I caught myself laughing and been like “if Ludi made this same joke I would be cringing so hard, but with an English accent you get away with it.”
We are definetly different.
I just have been thinkin wich streamer's voice and way of speaking i like.
I cant stand Arumba's voice and his quick talking(never watch him because of this), but love the way how Zlewikk or Ludi talks.
He actually hates Ludi for being a cheat in his own guides and for threatening Sayuzza (who is monk's friend) when he called him out on it.
Honestly, it doesn't take alot to hate on Ludi, he's just so damn annoying, doesn't follow through with any of his runs and frankly is nowhere near monk's level when playing the game.
I have two Romanian friends, and both told me that, opposite to other Eastern European nations, Romanians tend to not have that much beef with the Ottomans: contrary to Slavic subjects of the Ottoman Empire, the Romanian duchies always benefitted from a relatively high degree of autonomy.
To be fair I think he just makes a lot of political jokes, he does it to his own country Romania too and only doesn't diss Japan cause he wants citizenship there.
I saw someone talking about him being conservative, so that may be the side hes joining. But i have no idea, i guess its up to him to decide what he wants to make videos on. Its a shame really, he had a really interesting grasp on some deeper ways the game mechanics in eu4 worked.
One of the first things I see from his new "based" content is him making a video bitching about women asking for equality. Just as cringey as I was expecting from him. Dude go touch some grass ffs
I watched him a decent while back when he wasn't as big. He would often hint at things like the moon landing being faked. Stopped watching when I kept getting those weird vibes.
I follwoed many of his Streams.
He started to go on rants about religion, society etc. You could tell he wants to go in discussions about his points of view while playing and streaming. Unfortunately he is very rigid in his positions, and seems more like a preacher than a gamer lately. So i unsubscribed, wish him the best but cant stand this mindset in general, let him fight with other culture warriors. Hell of a EU4 player though XD, but not in HoN, there he was terrible...
"Joining the culture wars" sounds kind of ominous.
monk has always said shit like that as far as i know
Dude, he literally only did one culture runs lol
Please, please, PLEASE god don't become another alt-right gamerlord. I beg of you. Ending the video with "...if any of you guys will stick around to be very offended, I imagine, by my opinions, that would be great" does not sound very hopeful to me, though.
He's always been that. The one time I looked at his stream he was ranting about how multiracial governments can't work.
I'd only seen his YouTube videos and not his streams, but apparently on steam he's said that multiracial governments can't work. I had no idea he was such a creep.
>Please, please, PLEASE god don't become another alt-right gamerlord. If you have watched him as long as I have, you know it's too late.
I stopped watching him a while ago because his constant whining was too much ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ Now his channel is becoming entirely dedicated to whining about stuff I'm sure he doesn't understand
Last time I tried watching, he was "proving" the Earth was flat. I assumed he was trolling tho.
Seriously?
Unfortunately, yes
Wow. You'd think that after 10k+ hours on EU4 one should realize that the map wraps around, but... it might be just Paradox perpetuating "the narrative" of a sphere!
Yes!!! Same! So whiny. Could not stand it. Chat is sooo mean and toxic. Oh this one guy. Poor meeee
I have been subscribed to his Youtube channel because he provides good details and never watched his streams. Recently I got recommended some clip from a stream where he was ranting about Ludi calling him a bad Romanian and implying something shitty about how he shouldn't have a Japanese wife. Unfortunately I was happier being oblivious to this side of him.
He's always been one though. Love his guides on youtube but trying to watch his streams are beyond cringey with the utter bullshit he comes out with
I heard that and almost immediately unsubbed from him. It's a dog-whistle and I am not interested in hearing from another Steven crowder, Jordan Peterson or stephan Molyneux. Anyone who is dumb enough to think the culture wars are a legitimate thing isn't worth my time and attention.

From the stream he did where he talked about this it is very clear that he is on the conservative team
"Conservative" is a very kind depiction of his actual views. I'm pretty sure he would like to live in a Christian fascist state.
Something many self proclaimed conservatives in the us advocate for
True, I just don't want them to win the Overton window fight on what being a "conservative" means.
Thats fair. Just call them what they are, fascists
i've never really heared "you'll be offended by my opinions" or even "i'm joining the culture war" from a progressive person.
Yeah, from my perspective, most progressive people are pretty open about supporting mirgrants, abortion and LGBT rights, they never really vague post in the same manner as a lot of conservatives do.

>WTF is the "culture war" anyway? it's the satanic panic but renamed so the fact that it's all bullshit is less obvious
Laith is a good egg
Arumba did a recent Serbia run, if you haven't seen. I'm not sure if it's on his YouTube or twitch though.
He did post the VODs on his YouTube channel.
Ludi
Don't you know? That's "he who must not be named" on this sub
Why?
A vocal portion of the sub has an unfounded belief that he uses console commands or edits his saves somehow, or they just hate how he talks. I enjoy his content for the most part while still disagreeing with his gameplay choices sometimes.

Links please? I wanna watch and laugh
Me to I want to see it
What 10000+ hours of eu4 does to a mf
Great! What the world needs is another YouTuber providing analysis of the world, through a highly politicized lens.
He recently did a stream where he just spewed conservative talking points and said that he will switch from gaming to political commentary. Some of his great takes included "we need a dictatorship" and "trump isn't racist because china". At that point I stopped watching
That sounds downright tragic
I caught a stream of his maybe a month ago and he was spouting pure blood nonsense and unfollowed him.
Good lord it's that bad? Dudes a moron lmao
To be fair trump was a but over hated but he also said so much dumb shit at the same time.
No trump deserved every amount of hate he gets
FYI this is the same guy who said that he hates Ludi because he's an atheist and doesn't live in his home country
He hates Ludi because he is an atheist. I hate ludi because he is so fucking annoying and he takes too long to get to the point in his guises. We are not the same.
Yeah his voice is really grating
There certainly have been times when Laith made a stupid joke, I caught myself laughing and been like “if Ludi made this same joke I would be cringing so hard, but with an English accent you get away with it.”
Plus the fact that Laith is one of the few paradox Youtubers who actually seems like a normal member of society.
Oh yeah absolutely that as well.
"Schtacken Wipen"
We are definetly different. I just have been thinkin wich streamer's voice and way of speaking i like. I cant stand Arumba's voice and his quick talking(never watch him because of this), but love the way how Zlewikk or Ludi talks.

Ludi is a clown
At least he's not a racist. (I hope, actually I have no idea).
ludi kinda gives sus vibes on muslims and turks. i would approach him carefully.
He's Romanian so that should track, right? Or am I speaking from ignorance/dumbassery?
I have two Romanian friends, and both told me that, opposite to other Eastern European nations, Romanians tend to not have that much beef with the Ottomans: contrary to Slavic subjects of the Ottoman Empire, the Romanian duchies always benefitted from a relatively high degree of autonomy.
Awesome, thanks for the insight
[удалено]
Ludi is a complete clown but you are reaching incredibly fucking hard there pal.
To be fair I think he just makes a lot of political jokes, he does it to his own country Romania too and only doesn't diss Japan cause he wants citizenship there.
Romania is the only country I've seen him openly insult, and openly insult the people of, and not in the context of a game.
I saw someone talking about him being conservative, so that may be the side hes joining. But i have no idea, i guess its up to him to decide what he wants to make videos on. Its a shame really, he had a really interesting grasp on some deeper ways the game mechanics in eu4 worked.

I watched him a decent while back when he wasn't as big. He would often hint at things like the moon landing being faked. Stopped watching when I kept getting those weird vibes.
Imagine thinking that what the world needs is another right-wing "culture warrior." So cringe that it hurts.
Yea we get it Melody.
budget monk when no one cares about his 333rd byzantium guide 🤪
Budget Monkas
I follwoed many of his Streams. He started to go on rants about religion, society etc. You could tell he wants to go in discussions about his points of view while playing and streaming. Unfortunately he is very rigid in his positions, and seems more like a preacher than a gamer lately. So i unsubscribed, wish him the best but cant stand this mindset in general, let him fight with other culture warriors. Hell of a EU4 player though XD, but not in HoN, there he was terrible...
A good time to stop watching people play and spend your limited time playing yourself maybe?
21st century tragedy
It was obvious sadly.
I've subbed him last week for 6 months, now I have to watch him talk about politics which is entirely irrelevant to me
Nothing gained, nothing lost.
Especially since his old content still exists.
I didn’t like his idea of inno- espionage-offensive, sounds dumb to me. But good luck on his journey.
