based billy. did he actually cheat at pacman? thats so funny. no matter what you think about it you have to admit that’s funny. if he cheated his way to the top of pacman

The King Of Kong documentary definitely makes him seem like he cheated in DK using footage taped on an emulator, so I'm assuming at least some of the later accusations are true. It's also true that he is actually good at these games at a near-top level because he's done either real highscores or at least ones close to them in front of live audiences. But he likely cheats on top of that to maintain some of his records out of pettiness and shit.

I don't know much about Mitchell but I've heard that Jobst dude is a former pick-up artist and a nazi who lost a lot of money to him in a lawsuit which, lol get fucked.

He's right about Karl Jobst. Dude is a full on nazi. He was in the rwhitegoose(i think that's the right name) discord screenshots.

But also isn't he also kinda shit?

He definitely lies and has cheated (in games), I don't know about any other allegations.

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 10 points 10 hours ago

Billy Mitchell can only win lawsuits against right-wing grifters. I'm fine with that.

seems like you’re the one discriminating against different cultures and beliefs

WHAAAT!?!?!

Are chuds actually this braindead or do normies think acting stupid and annoying the tiny minority of people with a brain is comedy gold?

Isn't Mitchell MAGA or was at some point? Kind of feels like a let them fight moment.

Billy Mitchell@ BillyPacman 27 Feb 2020
I try to stay apolitical on social media,

But the last dem debate was an absolute disaster. I’m gonna join the race and win by just yelling over everyone from beginning to end at every debate. It’s not like the moderators will stop me.

Billy Mitchel 2028

It's not like the Dem leadership is going to pick someone better.

[–] GeneralSwitch2Boycott@hexbear.net 15 points 11 hours ago

I felt 100% sure that he was but I can't actually find any information actually proving that at the moment. Wondering if maybe I just assumed he was 'cause he's at the intersection of every fascist influence of the US: cheater, small business owner, '80s nostalgia freak, wears a US flag tie and puts USA as his highscore input, white guy (Italian?)

Well I guess he's just a cheat now huh?
