My best guess as to why they seem to have changed their stance on facecam is maybe they're planning to jump ship from YouTube and transition to Twitch entirely?

Better late than never, but they're several years behind the curve and I can't imagine that people want to look at Void's face.
Slowbeef and diabetus have been on camera plenty of times so it's not news. I think the rest of the goons just recognise they live in a different era of the internet now and the SA LP forum's taboo against facecams was literally never relevant to mainstream content creation.

To be fair to Diabetus, he’s not the only ex-Retsupurae guy with a receding hairline.
Take the solution my buddy did: shave it off and grow a mountain man beard. If anyone asks you can tell them that you didn't lose it, it all just went south for the winter.To be fair to Diabetus, he’s not the only ex-Retsupurae guy with a receding hairline.
It's all they have left, I suppose. Even more ironic considering things when downhill for Retsupurae eight years ago or so, when they and several other SA LP nobodies had their collective mental breakdown over PewDiePie existing.
At least I can still revel on this gem, which is coincidentally the only R video I like.
Does anyone here still watch raocow? I don't watch him as much as I used to because a guy can only look at so many variations of Super Mario World hacks, but I check on him every now and then and aside from no longer really cursing like he did in the VIP days and having a more coherent stream of thought compared to his early days, he doesn't appear to have changed much from what I've seen. Never even had a hot take about anything as far as I know like the rest of the guys in this thread.
Right now he's literally playing every official Sonic game that was ever made, so I am learning about some obscure shit. I had no idea there was one for a popcorn maker of all things.

I'm still subbed to raocow, although I can't tell you when was the last time I watched anything from him. I do remember him having quite the stream-of-consciousness approach to commentary (could be wrong but he's also a Quebecker like PsychEyeball). I also appreciate his consistency for still putting out boatloads of videos for well over a decade and, as you said, never dragging himself down with sissy online drama.
Yeah, that was definitely his style, but he has eased back on that over years like I mentioned before. I think part of the reason he's dodged any trouble is that he stills see lp's as a silly hobby. I base this on the way on the way he names his videos and the tags(thank you random comment guy who always post those) which are algorithm poison and never really deviating from his style or playing flavor of the month games. Doesn't strike me as a guy who has any intention on ever making this a serious gig.
I remember raocow from back in the day. Always a nice guy, no drama, kept to his threads. Glad to see he’s still having fun making LPs.
It's great to see Diabetus still just being chill and funny without having to sperg about politics and talking about personal life shit. It's such an anomaly for someone to be as unscathed as he has been while being on the internet for so long. He gets that this corner of the internet is just meant for entertainment and humor and shouldn't be dragged down with real world bullshit
Holy shit he went straight from being Matthew McConaughey to Charlie Day. Who's he going to become next?
This just sounds like they're reading off of a prewritten list of jokes

I don't know which is more shameful trooning out or e-begging for fake tits for yourself.
I think the only SA Let's Players I've used to watch that haven't trooned out are Chip and Super Great Friend and those may be ticking time bombs for all I know.

At least with SGF we'd probably never know, since he seems to keep his personal life isolated and private from his gaming persona.

I’d like to announce to everyone that I’m transitioning to a woman. I’m keeping the voice though.
May SGF's image forever remain a TV headed XBL avatar. I will never cease to be impressed how well he has been able to keep his personal life under wraps for so long in this day and age.
As much as I love SGF, It really says a lot about the state of SA LPers that we have to praise this one guy for just not oversharing his personal life and not constantly bringing up politics while playing horror games and weird VNs.

I don't know if you guys are still talking about VoidBurger at this point, but I checked out their Twitter and saw this. This sort of shit pisses me off to no end how often students (or ex-students) will pretend that they never learned these basic concepts. I suppose it's theoretically possible that your teacher never told you that you can rearrange a square number of items into a scare shape, but I seriously doubt it because even if they are a bad teacher this is just an easy thing for them to explain and then give you some busywork about arranging items into squares. The problem is that you were probably talking to your friends and ignoring what the teacher was explaining, and on the one hand the teacher should be trying to make lessons exciting and engaging for everyone, on the other hand the student needs to want to learn, and if you are a full-grown adult and you still never realized that square numbers can be rearranged into squares then you clearly didn't give even the most basic shits about math.
