I do little marathons of his series reviews when I'm not well also. The Ultima Retrospective did lead me to getting Ultima VII, which it turns out I really did end up liking. Also Ultima IV since gog.com gives that away for free when you join. At least they used to. I don't know about today. Ultima IV is too old school for me though. I suck at it.
It was obvious he was never serious about it, he never even had a genre, let alone a synopsis for it. There was a point he claimed the project was scrapped because some mysterious entity, that was helping him, couldn't help anymore. Yet how can that person help when you don't even know if it's a comedy or a drama, scifi or fantasy, based on Spoony the character or original?
If you look at the comments archive from the announcement video for the Spoony site, he was starting to struggle with everything even then.

I'm far from a health nut but I take it when the days get shorter and gloomier. It's very similar to Pascal's Wager, Vitamin D3 is ridiculously cheap even if you think it's a placebo effect (or you're dubious about the certainty of what's actually in your average vitamin), and ridiculously hard to take too much.
For example, he said how it was impossible to include a huge story in video games because data size, but thing is what was eventually pushing the hardware limit was music and graphics, not text/story. Super old dos games were pretty text heavy and full of stories if not as magnificent as later Ultima games. What Spoony said is factually incorrect.
Other noticeable stinkers are Headless rant in UUW2 review (that's basically a "it's a high level area from now on" road sign you can just avoid, imo it exposed how Spoony was so used to play linear console RPGs but not PC games especially dungeon crawlers),
his rant on U6 (GUI inventory system was actually somewhat revolutionary for it's time but Spoony just bitched about how clunky it was as if he didn't know other games back then did it worse, just look at how Wizardry inventory for example it's just a list!),
forced "What is a {that thing you shalt not mention}" meme (this trend where you can ask stupid question already started in U4 or 5 iirc, it's nothing special for U9, for example you can ask "what is a gargoyle?" in U7, the same gargoyle you literally fought a war against in the direct prequel, it's a common practice in so many games/movies/etc after all), and the list goes on (seriously, there are many others).
I used to take his reviews at face value too because I had never played FF8 or other games he reviewed, but Ultima review made me realize "probably he doesn't know what he is talking about." My suspicion turned into a firm belief when I saw him freaking out in Fallout2 stream, that kind of stuff simply can't happen if you are familiar with old school rpgs. To be fair Ultima review is still a good comedy show though, it's just you shouldn't expect LGR/GuruLarry/GVMERS/etc level of accuracy.
It's honestly not. This isn't a critical sub like Cinemassacre Truth, this was his actual fan sub. Best example is the comments archive for his announcement video for the Spoony movie from his actual site. Go from oldest to newest and you can see how his fans got sick of his shit, even back then.

The link to the (now disabled) comments for his "Spoony Movie" video is a good thing to look it in regards to his relationship with fans. If you read from oldest to newest you can see how quickly the change in tone from "excited and happy", to "concerned and skeptical" to finally "annoyed and done with him" happens. It's so interesting to see it start with people happy to support him, to telling him to forget the movie and just work on the normal content, to finally demanding to know why he's not producing anything and tweeting all the time.
Things with his fanbase started getting nasty after it became obvious he was not only failing to fulfill any of his Patreon pledges, but also became less productive. Just look at the archive of the comments for his "Spoony The Motion Picture?" video

People were excited, then got more and more pissed off as he took money without communicating what was happening effectively.

Seriously. SERIOUSLY. Why the fuck you have to carry around an expensive multi-tool/knife (or ANYTHING) when you don't even get out of your bed. Just get a box cutter and spare blades instead, you fucking retar'del toro fuck.
Dude is as mature as a 14 years old who buys cheap shitty Chinese katana as a preparation for a zombie apocalypse. What a stupid ramenhead brain failure.
Edit: Buy this now and stop bitching about muh money you stupid stupid ramen man.
It's literally an app. What am I saying wrong here?

You know how I know you are some edgy teenager? You think knowing what the word brokerage means makes you some wall street insider.
Yes the context I used for wall street and your average Joe is unrelated. The stock market being healthy doesn't translate to your Average Joe being employed or making a lot of money. What is the unemployment rate today? How much have wages gone up the last 20 years as the stock market does well? Please tell me?
By the way the man you hate so much. Trump says the same thing. Guess you support him then since the economy is doing so "great".
I showcased what happens to naive teenagers like you who use apps and do things they don't understand. Dude killed himself and he didn't even lose any money. He didn't understand that he didn't actually owe money. This is the "geniuses" you hang out with and think are smarter than me.
You are an edgy teenager like all robinhood app users who things because he knows what the word brokerage means that he is a wall street investor. You hate Trump but use the same metrics he uses to gauge that the economy is good all while saying you want to bash people in the head with a brick for disagreeing with you. If that is not a troll I don't know what is.
