I mean, he came off as a massive hypocritical asshole in the last podcast when he was discussing what he'd be willing to do to get a Switch and tbh, he's been getting worse with that lately and I can see why it's starting to rub a lot of people the wrong way. It used to be that we all thought it was an act, but it's getting harder to tell if he's acting or if he's genuinely a shitty person. That uncertainty makes people uncomfortable.

Pat's not a shitty person, but he's a less than spectacular Canadian. He's basically an American, really.

I don't think he's a truly a bad person. I think that he was trying to build up the persona of him being a giant asshole and it came off as too genuine.

Pat's personality is fine.
Him trying to play RE7 without shooting a bullet is fucking infuriating though.

Him and Matt playing RE7 without using their eyes is killing me.

It was a likable way when he wasn't a hypocrite. Recently he's just coming across as a massive asshole.
It's impossible to be a likable asshole. I just thought it was mostly an act, but I'm starting to doubt that as time goes on.

It's not hypocritical if you know you're just out for yourself
I don't really see how he's a shitty person if he gets what he paid for. It's on the store if they fucked up and having a hookup at the store to get what you paid for is... Well, not shitty? It'd be one thing if he actively took it from someone else, but he has a preorder. Why is it on him to make sure someone else gets one? Hell, it's what the store would do anyway. He was playing up the asshole part but people were really missing the argument because of Woolie losing his damn mind by not actually listening.
I mean, really. If a friend of yours said, "Hey, we didn't get enough to cover all the preorders," would you genuinely just say, "Darn! Well, okay," or would you ask if they'll set one aside for you.

Listening back to last weeks podcast before going into this one, I think I figured out what I find infuriating about Pat in this situation - beyond being hypocritical that is.
It's that we know, we fucking know that he is not going to be getting the Switch day one to actually indulge with any new IPs, or even Zelda. He will toy with it, then go back to XIV - within a day. He is going to excessive lengths - lengths the likes he's vitriolically criticised in the past, to get a product that, given his routine, wouldn't get much attention whatsoever compared to XIV.
Woolie mentioned a few podcasts back he would (at the time) just put money down on the Switch on Amazon and get it whenever they got round to giving it to him. Why is this not what Pat is doing?
All that being said, I feel the glee he's emanating as he's telling us how far he is going makes me think this was, in part, bullshit he's ad-libbed knowing it would rustle Woolie's jimmies.

They need at least one for work, and all the extra ones were for Pat's friends. Doesn't really matter how much he actually cares.
What the actual fuck. Am I a bad person for preordering a Switch even though I'm also playing XIV a shitload?
Dude said 1 is for the office, 1 is for him and 2 others are for friends that probably couldn't make it to preorder before it sold out. Or is this because he said he'd ask a friend to hold onto one if he knew they ran out of preorders? Shit, I'd ask someone the same thing if I knew they were gonna run out before I could pick up the product I've money down on.

Which is why I said I think it's, in part, bullshit he said just to get to Woolie. As for what I meant in the comment, it was the bolded. For a guy who is so against this kind of behaviour, using a connection to get a hold of a console (last resort, I get it), to then turn around and condone it for himself, that is hypocritical, simple as. And yeah, he can do it, odds are if the same scenario fell to me I couldn't say I would turn my nose up (even though I've lost out on a pre-order out of shit like this), it's the mentality that he'd condemn someone else of doing it.
As for the XIV comment, I meant he seemed more than happy to keep up his playtime there that the Switch would be little more than a distraction to him.

I'm pretty sure he mentioned this on the last podcast and said that everything being uploaded there would be non-gameplay. Mostly just sketches and stuff.

Did no one here notice that he also has a side twitch channel now too?

Ok apparently he had this since december according to streamlink but it has all the cool woolieversus art on it now.
This is so stupid~

WoolieWatcher getting snubbed. Wish Woolie had just rolled off a cliff instead of letting him run around though.

I wonder how Woolie's girlfriend feels about his 'Love is just a bunch of chemicals in our brains trying to trick us into procreating'
I thought Woolie didn't like cringy stuff.

I'm pretty sure Woolie loves cringy stuff. Like The Office (UK)

Unless you mean to the HIV part in which case, I'm in the dark too.
