Karl Jobst is a massive reactionary who lied about the lawsuit and very much did defame Mitchell by claiming he directly contributed to someone’s suicide. Jobst is currently suing him again with some AI generated bullshit.
but i guess karl is going for round two after losing the first one? idk what he could hope to gain mitchell won the last one by conclusively proving that jobst lied about some pretty significant facts and accused Mitchell of some really dark shit. what’s karl going to do, claim that losing the lawsuit hurt his reputation?
It’s completely sensible to infer the lawsuit contributed to their suicide. Jobst got sued because he falsely claimed that it was settlement payments specifically which burdened them, when the settlement didn’t include any.
Who knows, I just tuned in for the drama about the different colored joystick clearly proving he didn’t use a stock machine. Mitchell is a wounded narcissist. His discount code is KARL LOST which he didn’t. Mitchell couldn’t even fund all these lawsuits except he has family money from the hot sauce business. He does have gorgeous hair, though.
Twin Galaxies rules are actually insanely stupid anyway. Parts are exchanged on arcade cabinets all the time, who fucking cares if the ball top is a different color other than these deranged old boomers. It’s all the same ROM inside.
Edit: Not a Billy Mitchell defender just a TG hater
The whole thing is it has to be on stock hardware. The different color joystick meant it was a different ROM.
PS Baby boomers had mechanical arcade games, like shooting ducks. Generation X was the video arcade generation. Up until non-games like Dance Dance Revolution started, then that was it for arcade culture.
Really?
I remember the first time I went to Japan, they had people playing what are now called rhythm games, the screen showing patters and people pressing the buttons to match. I thought that couldn’t possibly even be called a game.
I pitied the poor players, how empty they must be to try something like that. It had about as much chance of catching on as the crab machine.
It’ll never catch on in the west, I said to myself before putting the whole thing out of my mind.
Imagine my shock when 5-6 years later they started appearing everywhere.
Are you trolling me because rhythm games are very much games
The most fun fucking game i’ve ever played in my fucking life was a Fist of the North Star rhythm game where these pads come out and you punch them in time with the rhythm
But i guess it fucking breaks all the time and the one arcade that had it got rid of it
…he literally did, though. The judge absolutely ruled in Mitchell’s favour and read jobst the riot act. I remember it because it is a seriously impressive act of douchebaggery to come out of a lawsuit with Billy Mitchell looking like the bad guy. Jobst is at least as much of a piece of shit as Mitchell, the leaks from his discord where he and his mods were being insanely racist are pretty damning. He also iirc is close friends with an open white nationalist and has run interference for the guy. I love the idea of Mitchell eating shit as much as the next guy but it is just factually true that he won the lawsuit against jobst.
In that video he explains basically hes a broke YouTuber and doesn’t have $350k so Billy Mitchell just ends up with a lawyer bill and no actual money even though he won the case.
did he say it’s cheating and not that jobst said he’s responsible for someone’s suicide?

Never played DDR for more than 5 minutes on the easiest difficulty award
Arcade culture is alive and well in Asia at least

How is pressing a button when you see a light a “game”? It’s like something NASA would use to test astronaut reaction times.
is soccer a game, you just run around and kick a ball
Is basketball a game, you just throw a ball through a hoop
Is poker a game, you’re just drawing cards

Am I missing something here?
In that video he explains basically hes a broke YouTuber and doesn’t have $350k so Billy Mitchell just ends up with a lawyer bill and no actual money even though he won the case.
Also Jobst declared bankruptcy and transferred most of his assets to his wife
