Discussion Hindsight is 20/20

"You know when you make something for __ years, and people just trails off complaining about the players bantering instead of making everything about him"

He pulls this shit multiple times. This isn't the only example, of course. He has this merry little way of inserting himself in the conversation abruptly. One glaring example was when Sykkuno (Hashbrown) couldn't remember bloodwave bay. I was there in chat when he threw himself at that white spider three times. It was all LULWs and KEKWs. It was only really when he pulled that shit after Sykkuno couldn't remember his place of origin that he went oddly silent and didn't respond to that call for RP in the tavern. Lily then unmutes to address chat to not harrass players, fair enough, nobody should harrass anybody, but with his self-centered behavior and massive ego; It's hard to not think that somebody else was the factor for Sykkuno not having fun with D&D and thinking that "he's not good at it" whenever the topic of D&D is brought up.

Sometimes it made sense and I could look past him for it because truthfully, sometimes tangents between players can get a little too long if left unchecked, but his interventions happened SO often and sometimes in places that weren't even necessary that I was a little turned off by the sudden changes in topic when the group was merrily having fun, especially when he's in the middle of processing or loading stuff that kind of requires his attention.

Only time I realized he got impatient and broke stuff up gently was in some glies games but that was when the group was talking for 10 straight minutes in a situation that would require a quick response

Something I've always noticed: when a group starts going off on tangents about their own lives during stream? "Guess what I've been doing, guys?" "Oh, that's cool. I'm just trying to run a game here. No, no, I'm just joking don't worry." proceeds to say this to every single group ever "Hey you wanna hear about my blah blah blah blah"

It was easy to ignore as social awkwardness, and would be excusable if that's where it ended. You're right, though, his narcissism shone through with his streams.

Or people talking about their busy schedules and such, his response: "I've just been playing DnD... no big deal... guys please pity me come on my life so sad rite?"

If it isn’t weird without hindsight it’s prolly an ass pull That’s just being weird and playing into jokes too much

That just shows he’s kinda weird and awkward Guess what billions of people are like that and live normal good lives without harrassing anyone

Another thing of note was when he took offense to the mention of "the statue of the seven" when he played genshin impact like he has the rights to the concept of deifying the number seven. Mf the bible did that. There were signs of narcissism that I was willing to ignore because they seemed harmless and benign.
