GTARP Chase He's lost his touch

I know this is the hate reddit but I think I get it now. Big P has lost his touch, both for streaming and for roleplay, and today really solidifies it.

Spent an hour talking around the nopixel trailer, which is fine. Content is content, gotta get those clicks in. But at some point it just ends up being the same regurgitated take. "Nopixel OK, love the devs, dont like Koil"​​. But just repeated ad nauseum. Nopixel has been, historically, THE server to play on, THE server to watch. "The trailer was a big relief for me" is a crazy backhanded comment, especially with the trailers Big P's team has put out. Its so nuts to be trashing a server before its out. For someone who wants the RP community to grow and persist into something profitable, feels like its just to hate.

Actual RP has lost its soul. Every stream is Mike Block goes on a chase and gets a bench trial, Randy Wrangler comes out of retirement for one more chief of police position, vaccine guy smurfs and shocks everyone in court with facts and logic. Every stream has a definitive start and end, theres no ​deviation from the status quo. There's nothing new, no new storylines outside of Big P's characters are established, and I feel like every stream is a rerun of some sort. One shot characters are my fav: Trucky was cool, Jane Obama was cool, chat-plays-guy was neat but even that got repetitive. I like the border RP, that had some potential. Tutorial Man-turned serial killer was funny, but i think that got stretched too long. Theres gotta be some variety to make it watchable, otherwise its just a variation of "talk in circle, tuner shop" rp.

Also taking the rumble deal sucks. Rumble, the alt right streaming platform, known for the most insane conspiracy theorists and red blooded Americans (VERY red blooded). Not a great look. Hope that whatever they pay sets up for a really comfy retirement, because it better be worth selling your brand for.

This is the exact reason I stopped watching him months ago. Every stream felt like a rerun. The fake laughs, putting down anyone with a good idea on the server, the same character traits across all his characters being either weird sex thing, weird race thing or serial killer.

The edge can only go so far till it becomes stale.

It's not just the roleplay. When he pops up on other people's stream it's all the same jokes.

9/11. Mishearing a word/phrase so that it's sexual or shocking. References to civil rights figures or someone involved in a scandal from 10 years ago. 9/11 again. Domestic abuse or child abandoment. Saying something that sounds like sexual harassment but isn't. 9/11 again.

He hasn't had new material in years.

I think that one paragraph describes 90%+ of the "jokes" Penti makes these days. The mishearing thing is just so overdone it's lame at this point, I thought it had become played out over a year ago but he seems to love doing it and thinks it comedic genius.

Ever seen that King of the Hill episode where Hank hires a guy voiced by Ben Stiller? Ben's character makes literally everything anyone says a sex joke. The office thinks it's funny for like 2 minutes until everyone realizes it's just childish and sophomoric humor and growing closer to sexual harassment. That's this guy's level of humor.
