    oh boy I had an 88 in my old email address back in the days cause you know I’m born 1988…glad I ditched that before the twitter mob find out that I’m also german…

    really don’t get why this is a story based on some streamer with too much time. Looks more like something to get out of irrelevance if I look at his subscriber numbers…

    The game is also looking bland as fuck and it’s only “thing” is the steamboat willi character that has been slapped on for no other reasons than marketing. Seems a little bit desperate if you ask me…

      Everyone knows that the ability to connect something to Nazism makes it actually Nazism.

      You’re German, you were born in '88, the phrase ”i had an 88 in" takes 14 keystrokes, and you seem to think not everything is connected to neonazis.
      You’re clearly a Nazi.

        He’s clearly a witch. I’m going to denounce him. Right now.

        • “avater” has six letters. “lemmy” and “world” have five each, suspiciously close to six. His username is almost a literal 666.
        • “I had an 88 in my old email address back in the days cause you know I’m born 1988” has the exact letters, in the right order, that allow you to spell “heil [name of the devil]”.
        • He wrote the number “8” four times. Eight symbolises new beginnings, regeneration, and resurrection; he’s signalising to be full converted to satanism.
        • He’s German. You know how Germany is known as? Birthplace of Protestantism, one of the major heresies against Christianity. How much do you bet that he worships Luther, Mammon, Calvin and Asmodeus???
        • Being German also means that he’s from the same place as that witchcraft band called Faun. I bet that he already heard Walpurgisnacht on the radio. Perhaps he even likes the band. Or did no effort to call them out. (If you sit with witches then you’re a witch too)

        There are simply too many obvious signs of him being a witch. Sure, one or another might be coincidence, but all of them?

        I hope that someone publish this in a sensationalist news site. Then other people will find further evidence that he’s a witch.

        He could prove his innocence, though. Witches float, honest people sink, so w could put a 20kg stone around his neck and throw him into the river. Of course he won’t accept it, witches do not want to be outed as witches.

        By the way, anyone trying to defend him is just trying to cover a witch. They’re probably dancing partners in the Hexennacht (German for “the devil child-eating ritual”)

            Thankfully we agree. That only reinforces that he is indeed a witch. I’ll grab my pitchfork too!

            (in the meantime nobody pays attention to my username being literally “lucifer” with a broken grammar.)
