By far the most infuriating thing about Woolie is how he makes up his mind on something instantly and then has to explain why he was actually right about it for 20 minutes when the next line of dialogue proves him wrong. Soul Reaver was just the fucking pinnacle of that.
"Oh. .... ..... Well that wasn't clear at all."
Lol, at least he has an out. Honestly, he seems miserable. He really should just move games. If even the parasocials are bored and it's not lightning up the channel like he'd hoped, he's just gunna stay sad and angry at everything. Can't remember the last time he seemed genuinely happy. Kind of like Vinny Vincesauce. Once the burnout sets in, you have to pivot. For Vinny he makes good money, but for Woolie it's just stubbornness lmao
Woolie would rather be a miserable failure on his own terms than find success and happiness by adjusting his methods based on anyone's advice or general consensus. Which sounds a lot more admirable than it is when you write it out that way, but all it really means is that he's very much on team cut off your nose to spite your face.
How horrible it would be for Woolie to have something unpredictable or fun happen on a livestream.
It'd be one thing if his own terms were something cool like refusing to sell out to advertisers or have strong reasoned opinions against consensus, but with him it's just deliberately playing every game in the most inefficient and non-entertaining way possible as an entertainer. I feel like I say this about every cow with a modicum of success, but anyone even remotely competent could step into Woolie's shoes, put the gameplay and audience interaction in the bag, and make a decent living in the cushiest job possible.
Woolie glommed onto fighting games because it was the only scene in Canada that he saw other black people at, simple-as.
I can't fathom why they are even bothering with a MMO run if Woolie is so disgusted with the mere thought of interacting with other people and why the fuck is Pat encouraging that mindset. I used to love lone wolfing it when I played MMO's partially because I didn't want to commit to syncing my time with randos, but even I sucked it up and would party if the situation called for it or if I ran into a guy who had happen to have similar goals in the area or just needed help. If Woolie did end up getting a bad experience from a random, at this point it would probably be deliberate trolling from some guy annoyed by him aggressively telling his fans to fuck off.
Fighting games these days are full of mechanics that negate old knowledge so newfags can stand a chance, like all the retarded movement changes in Slime Fighter 6 and Guilty Queer Soyve(there's a video of some random dude beating Daigo in SF6). But yeah, the last time to make it big as a fighting game player was around SF4's lifespan. And even if fgs made a comeback Woolie would still stay where he is, he didn't do anything at the time FGC thrived and he had SBFP clout, he wouldn't be anything now that he's a noname bum and an even bigger scrub, as far as fighting game fags go, dude isn't qualified to tie LTG's shoes.
Woolie is doing it because FF14 has a reference in a later dungeon he wants to "experience" for some autistic reason, but he is also circling the drain and needs to make some moves to be relevant again. He of course is a pissy baby about having to *gag* actually do something smart someone else has told him to do rather than continue to "Woolie Way" it like he has for nearly a decade.
I swear he would watch Empire Strikes Back and pause it when Vader asks about what Obi-wan told Luke about his father, Then go "So Obi-wan lied right? He totally killed Lukes dad and we are going to find out the crazy space hobo that just tricked this kid into believing his weird space religion was bad" unpauses and watches 30 more seconds "What that doesn't make sense Vader is Lukes dad? Dude cmon man that was just made up on the spot"

"THE F&C RETIREMENT"
It's frankly fucking baffling that this is even an issue for Woolie. One thing TBFP had nailed the fuck down was branding. You scroll through their playlists, and you'll see popping thumbnails of edited or bespoke art featuring their likenesses in some way, the channel name, or both, with fairly few exceptions. And here we are, almost a decade later, and what the fuck even is Woolie's branding? What's his channel about? How does he not manage to have at the very least a half-decent thumbnail for his videos? He had so much opportunity to learn this shit during TBFP days.
His brand identity is "Lazy, Ignorant, Entitled Nigger", so his thumbnails are perfectly on-brand, I'd say.
Cranky is one of many cases why I believe the answer to the question "why are there no great modern artists" is "because they all became gay furries."
Figures he'd do that, the cranky name was being spread as something negative because his group insulted a lot of other artists in their private discord server, I used to be in it being buddy-buddy with the guy but the guy was much worse than what he showed publicly
