Is there no one else to gaslight and troll on the internet than J. Scott Garibay? There are at least 4 channels that are showing his videos with scathing commentary at this point, probably a lot more. The evidence suggests that there are 1,000 middle aged men who watch youtube and enjoy people's criticism of Scott's videos, but youre all pulling from that same audience. Youre hitting the content creator easy-button. None of you are willing to have him on and settle your disputes like men...
@ComicGladiator when content creators have Scott on, they become polite to the point of sheepishness, and he is calm, collected, and stays on message. I know a lot of you guys dislike Scott. Personally, I think a lot of it is the pile-on instinct. Some of it is the fact that people from the blander Midwest, Southern, and Western cultures tend to find those of us from the Northeast to be abrasive. It takes a lot of balls to go on shows with people who badmouth you all the time, and even more balls to acquit yourself well. Fear of public speaking or shaming is the number one phobia. It's easy to sit behind a screen and talk smack. No judgment, I've done my share. If you're insulting Scott's masculinity, then you're just being a troll. He's a hardworking dude who supports his family and boldly advocates for his opinions in the face of withering hostility, never shying away from a confrontation. The majority of the adult male population in this country in 2023 can not say that

There is no gaslighting or trolling happening here, it's clear as day the guy has unhinged takes about the relevance of a make-believe game and making fun of it is the appropriate response.
You guys do not understand what is happening here. It is the a miracle in the making. Gary Gygax descended on Tenser's Floating Disk made of pure prismatic light. He spoke to JSG, and handed him three golden manuals. The PHB, the DMG, the MM. With these manuals, the angel Gygax also handed JSG a pair of crystalline d20s that when placed in a Giant Crown Royal Bag of Holding along with the golden manuals, allows JSG to translate Gary Gygax's true vision of D&D. We should all be so lucky to be witness to these translations of pure Gygaxian wisdom. JSG is our new prophet.
If you ever find yourself thinking, “the way I’m playing may not be what Gygax and Hasbro intended for me,” that’s a clear red flag that you are in a state of sin
He’s right about culture. Entertainment is part of culture. Currently weirdos are trying to, or have succeeded in injecting their ideology into every hobby. Politics is down stream to culture.
You know, my grandpa was part of the famous allied retreat to corfu during WW1, they walked barefoot through the Albanian mountains, regrouped with the Irish, constantly hounded by ambushes, snipers and skirmishers for months on end, survived and spear headed the charge that was the turning point in the great war, pushing the Kaiser's forces all the way back to Austria and beyond... but when I was a little boy, he sat me down on his lap and said "Son... you have to prepare... one day... and one da soon, there will be a 2nd DnD Movie", the Rest is history.
Thanks to his speech, I'm now against WotC making a single human race for all of us. I don't want to be considered to have the same Stat modifiers as this guy.
There are only three possibilities when it comes to JSG. The first is that he is a deeply broken individual, his mind running in cycles of WotC product shilling instead of conscious thought, desperately throwing out hot takes in the hope of finally being worthy of a moment's notice by WotC-senpai. The second is that he is an unparalleled master of outrage marketing, each of his volcanically hot mind-numbing takes carefully crafted to get people running to his channel. The third is that he is the greatest satirical comedian the RPG hobby - perhaps the world - has ever seen.
That dry "peace be upon him" had me almost repaint my screen with my coffee. You guys are killing it. In your own adorkable way. Keep up the good work!
I was there in the beginning, the birth of JSG, when he was on a YT stream for Legion of Myth, some years ago. Another YT creator, The OG GM, and I once tried to get him help. I'm here to tell you guys, JSG comes and goes in cycles. It's like the tide. We are at High JSG tide right now. Eventually, he'll grow tired of D&D, tired of the attacks on his sanity, claim the OSR "wins," and then go back to making political videos for a time before JSG High Tide comes back and he's making content again, and the cycle repeats.
while I agree with everything you say and then some, again the best way to deal with this person is not to deal with him. Do not watch his videos, do not post on his channel or make videos about him, if you are subscribed then unsub and maybe file a complaint with youtube because lord knows he violates S&P. If you post anything about him you are giving him what he wants and he proclaims victory and keeps posting, you have fed his addiction and want more. If you do not post, he claims victory and posts more because he wants to incite you to respond again, thus feeding his addiction You can not win and it is unhealthy to try. I applaud your skills and videos and hard work I subed
@TheOGGMsAdventures perhaps famous among the Legion of Myth fanbase? Nerdarchy dwarfs the Legion of Mythsphere by approximately 20×. It would seem fair to say that is when he emerged into the consciousness of the OSR community
@@climbingthatmountain6968 maybe? I was there when he made his stupid comment about GYGAX being the most important person in human history and needed a statue bigger then laddy liberty on LoM after that his war with the OSR began as far as I know
Garibay talks like a good political commissar. Complete lunacy. This guy needs to stay in a room with mattresses on the wall. Makes me glad to NOT play 5e.
Let's turn his analogy back on himself. I love coffee and I don't go to Starbucks because it is trash coffee. I love role playing games and I don't play D&D 5 e because it is a trash product. Just because you love and overall product doesn't mean that you have to buy into the most popular product. Dungeons & Dragons has lost its way and will continue to shed people and players as long as the people making it continue to try to make it the game of beige cubes.
But if you DON'T drink at Starbucks every day, then you are not letting your voice be heard in the most important conversation about the future of coffee in this country! Coffee is intimately entwined with the greatest social issues of our time, such as fair employment, end stage capitalism, fair trade with the global south, equity in access to coffee, diversity in customers and employees, climate change and environmental degradation and sustainability. Drinking coffee is the single most important thing you do every day, and where you choose to drink coffee has far ranging repercussions. Or maybe it's D&D. I don't know... I drink tea and play Savage Worlds.
@@arjunchoong8012 well DnD had lost customers this year and games like savage worlds, DCC, and others have grown a bunch. Also throw all your buzz words out, they don't make you sound smarter and have zero to do with what thus is about... unless you want to point out that people that use all those buzz words are killing entertainment sectors by spewing those terms and then not buying products when they change to suit them.
I can't believe I'm just now thinking of this but: First and Second Edition = Genesis and early books, 3.0 = rest of the Old Testament, Pathfinder = Talmud, 3.5 = New Testament, Beginning of the Indie Boom = Protestant Reformation, 4th Edition = Gnostic Heresies, 5th Edition = Book of Mormon, OSR = TradCath revolution, New Indie Boom = Neopaganism, One DND = Scientology
I can't wait for the horns of Armageddon to blow and instead of Jesus returning, we hear Galaxy's voice booming all over the world "roll for initiative."
I know I'm a year late, but Garibay wants to know my opinion - I figure it's still true a year later? He has a singular talent to set out to proselytize D&D 5e and instead provides all the points about why you shouldn't play it.
Having a really hard time in the wage cage, gotta come back to this gem for the dopamine. One of your least useful, yet funniest and most enjoyable videos of all time. Still useful too tho
In The Name Of Hasbro, The Beneficent, The Merciful. I bear witness to The Oneness of D&D. I bear witness that It, and It alone, is worthy to be worshipped and praised. I bear witness that It, and It alone, is The Game of all games, The Arbiter of all rules, and The Ultimate Revealer of all truth. I bear witness that It, and It alone, holds the treasure of all that Gygax has created. And I bear witness that Gygax has sent into the world, and raised among every nation a game to guide the people to Its straight path. I greet all of you, my dear brothers and sisters, with the greeting words of peace, we say it in the Gamer language: Roll For Initiative.
I worked with James Randi for 13 years helping manage his Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge. All we asked was an applicant to tell us 1) what you can do 2) under what conditions and 3) with what accuracy. Then we'd get 90+ pages of hand written scrawling complete with coffee stains and nonsense ramblings. This is exactly the kind of impossible-to-follow musings that we're seeing with this guy. It's rough. You wind up feeling sad for these folks & strong pity.
My guess is the split in his party breakup probably revolved around politics or culture war stuff, rather than some argument over a rule interpretation.
The incredible healing power of bribery will build the bridge, that no apology (or my underlying inability to conceive of me having been an utter ass-hat and my resulting unwillingness to reflect on my misbehavior respectively, could not build. This is the funniest shit I’ve seen in a while. And remember, that this is coming from a morally superior being and an advocate wizard of cultural change.
it's hard to understand what side of the debate he's even on half the time. I get what he's trying to say but playing 5e is not the solution he seems to think it is.
Speaking of indy ttrpgs, have you guys thought about reviewing Lancer? I'm sure the crowd of Lancer probably aint your cup of tea, but the game its self is dope imo. Wouldn't mind seeing what you guys thought of the system.
This was legendary! Great podcast guys. So I love the way he specifically tells us what 'we think'. He'd know of course, because he's been using his D&D5e spells to read our minds. I'm so glad I don't give a shit about these deeply profound cultural issues (in elf games that is). "I'm willing to hear you out" he says. but yet, he's never attempted to counter any coherent argument, and when you do question him, he runs for cover. If you going to make 'profound' statements you need to be able to defend your logic with facts, or at least put up a viable hypothesis before you can then test it. One last point, can we take any advice from a person who allows their game to implode? And allows 8-year friendships to wither and die? Adults talk to each other and even say sorry, that's what makes you a better person. But Scott had to bribe someone to be his mate again. "The incredible healing power of bribery." This is what you get when you mash together a raving evangelical Christian loon and D&D5e. His humility and open-mindedness is a beautiful thing to behold. Scott the nu Jumping Jesus.
No, I was actually shocked when I saw it. It isn't a mind blowing movie, but it has actual characters that have motivations and was a fun popcorn flick. Opposite of what I expected.
Oh, this guy. The name rung a bell in my head the moment you mentioned his name, and I was like, is this going to be the guy who films himself while driving in the car? I remember checking out a couple of his vids, and wondering why he chose to film like this. Maybe he has a wife he hides his DnD hobby from? A crowded apartment with at least one screaming child or a barking dog? Doesn't matter because his takes were ... odd, even then. Bad actually. Like he was saying, this was years before the Microsoft 'experts' came in or Hasbro/WotC claimed that DnD was undermonetized ... he said that DnD should be a billion, or trillion dollar brand or whatever. Trying to think if I left a comment trying to explain that RPGs aren't the kind of product that runs on transactions, its about players playing their characters, and that a few initial purchases are most of the profit, it's not a long term money making model for that kind of money. He rationalized that; because DnD was a well known brand nearly everybody has heard about, it should make more money. Already know this guy is going to be off going in. And now it starts with him telling people to stopping playing other games, and get back to DnD. And that DnD, rather than every one else, is where the work is going on. Like we need to get back to the plantation, that's where the work is... But it's also BS, innovation and creative game design is almost exclusively going on everywhere else BUT DnD and WotC, especially now. Even the biggest competitors, like Paizo n Pathfinder 2e are more experimental and innovative, relative to DnD 5e and WotC.
With this fellow you do get a lot of repetition and gaslighting. If he was better at it and not so obvious he could probably parlay it into a lucrative career. He's also more cogent when he's doing videos with other people.
@Black Lodge Games Scott keeps posting what is basically the exact same take on every video, multiple times per day. It is always a repeat of "Kelsey Dionne is the King of OSR". Over and over and over again. Go look through his video library. He is patting himself on the back for having 2100 subscribers, but only gets less than 100 views on each video. Nothing new under the sun for Scott. More repeated blah blah blah blah.
I don't know, he keeps saying that all of these independent games are great and beautiful and entertaining and he's repeating that over and over again this is got to be some troll
There we go - at 11 minutes you diagnose me as not mentally sound. I missed in your description where you list your Psychology Credentials. Can you point me to them. I know its not possible that you apply a medical diagnosis to me without them. I mean you guys would not take such a monstrous horrible action as that. No way.
Hello Scott. I have been a viewer of your videos for a few weeks. Allow me to present my credentials - I have a PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Toronto. I have observed that you are exhibiting signs of "Age Regression" possibly due to trauma. Voluntary age regression is sometimes used to cope or for relaxation. As a person who is at least 50 years old, the evidence of this is demonstrated by your insistence to adhere to a younger generation's D&D mannerisms and conformity to generation Z values. Another is your reluctance to accept that OSR Grognards are comfortable not playing in 5E. Several times you have gotten historical D&D trivia or facts incorrect to prove a given point. You are doing this because you choose to regress to being a younger person than your natural age. More severe regression can include crying in a fetal position, thumb-sucking, bed-wetting, or posting more than one UA-cam video per day basically wishing for everyone to reunite with D&D in its current state and leave the OSR. Please send me your contact information and we can schedule a one-on-one therapy session over Zoom. I wish you the best!
You guys really got me. I did have a missing tooth then and had not put on my tuxedo that day. If only I was able to maintain the incredible example of human physique that you two have been able to achieve. Unfortunately I was not born with an Adonis like visage that both of you were fortunate to be born with.
No one is perfect. I'm much more concerned with your insane view that d&d is an engine of human improvement and social change than I am with appearance.
@@blacklodgegames which explains why you didn't have an actual answer, because neither of you guys have one. Thanks for sharing why you were unable to actually answer the question.
D&D has been the only engine for social change on planet Earth for 50 years. Whether that is a good thing or not , from one's own perspective, it depends on what one thinks of the way that it has been used
"Get back in the slop" - I am really not sure who you guys are used to talking to but it is offensive to refer to another human being as a bug and a pig.
You guys should think carefully about taking a break and making no more content until you have an understanding of how to talk about people that you deem as not as mentally sound as yourself. You think you are able to mock others because they lack your mental stability. That is not correct. You have books and books and books of learning to do before either of you make new content. Your insensitivity and othering of someone you deem to be not mentally sound is abominable and you need to learn about tolerance before you proceed.
You are insane. The sad thing is that insane people don't know they are insane. So you won't stop. Hopefully, people that care about you, if there are any, will stage an intervention and institutionalize you.

Coming back to rewatch again. Still one of the funniest things on UA-cam
I prefer other systems when playing RPGs. but on the occasions i am asked to play Dungeons and Dragons, i play 2nd editions. which saves me most days.
Don't jump into man's comment section. Homeboy touched fs and it's just not worth it. Its "Kevin bacon wasnt in footloose" every damn time.
My Dudes. KEEP IT UP! I'm loving your videos!
Thanks!
Do you guys still think that the new D&D movie was bad?
No, I was actually shocked when I saw it. It isn't a mind blowing movie, but it has actual characters that have motivations and was a fun popcorn flick.
Opposite of what I expected.
This brightened my day. I also have a lot of what he listed as well.
We 5e players aren't all like him. 😅 Whatever that guy was smoking was strong.
Oh, this guy. The name rung a bell in my head the moment you mentioned his name, and I was like, is this going to be the guy who films himself while driving in the car? I remember checking out a couple of his vids, and wondering why he chose to film like this. Maybe he has a wife he hides his DnD hobby from? A crowded apartment with at least one screaming child or a barking dog? Doesn't matter because his takes were ... odd, even then. Bad actually. Like he was saying, this was years before the Microsoft 'experts' came in or Hasbro/WotC claimed that DnD was undermonetized ... he said that DnD should be a billion, or trillion dollar brand or whatever. Trying to think if I left a comment trying to explain that RPGs aren't the kind of product that runs on transactions, its about players playing their characters, and that a few initial purchases are most of the profit, it's not a long term money making model for that kind of money. He rationalized that; because DnD was a well known brand nearly everybody has heard about, it should make more money. Already know this guy is going to be off going in.
And now it starts with him telling people to stopping playing other games, and get back to DnD. And that DnD, rather than every one else, is where the work is going on. Like we need to get back to the plantation, that's where the work is...
But it's also BS, innovation and creative game design is almost exclusively going on everywhere else BUT DnD and WotC, especially now. Even the biggest competitors, like Paizo n Pathfinder 2e are more experimental and innovative, relative to DnD 5e and WotC.
With this fellow you do get a lot of repetition and gaslighting. If he was better at it and not so obvious he could probably parlay it into a lucrative career. He's also more cogent when he's doing videos with other people.

Scott keeps posting what is basically the exact same take on every video, multiple times per day. It is always a repeat of "Kelsey Dionne is the King of OSR". Over and over and over again. Go look through his video library. He is patting himself on the back for having 2100 subscribers, but only gets less than 100 views on each video. Nothing new under the sun for Scott. More repeated blah blah blah blah.
Yeah his view of OSR and D&D being formal organizations with leaders is very bizarre.
he has a pretty frightening video on his channel. ua-cam.com/video/hlWQIFpbtqw/v-deo.html at about 9:00 things get really weird.
I don't know, he keeps saying that all of these independent games are great and beautiful and entertaining and he's repeating that over and over again this is got to be some troll

There we go - at 11 minutes you diagnose me as not mentally sound. I missed in your description where you list your Psychology Credentials. Can you point me to them. I know its not possible that you apply a medical diagnosis to me without them. I mean you guys would not take such a monstrous horrible action as that. No way.
Hello Scott. I have been a viewer of your videos for a few weeks. Allow me to present my credentials - I have a PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Toronto. I have observed that you are exhibiting signs of "Age Regression" possibly due to trauma. Voluntary age regression is sometimes used to cope or for relaxation. As a person who is at least 50 years old, the evidence of this is demonstrated by your insistence to adhere to a younger generation's D&D mannerisms and conformity to generation Z values. Another is your reluctance to accept that OSR Grognards are comfortable not playing in 5E. Several times you have gotten historical D&D trivia or facts incorrect to prove a given point. You are doing this because you choose to regress to being a younger person than your natural age. More severe regression can include crying in a fetal position, thumb-sucking, bed-wetting, or posting more than one UA-cam video per day basically wishing for everyone to reunite with D&D in its current state and leave the OSR. Please send me your contact information and we can schedule a one-on-one therapy session over Zoom. I wish you the best!
You don't suffer from Age Regression
Missing tooth - I was wondering how long it would take you to start the ad hominem attacks - it took you 7 minutes.
I missed the memo where "perfect teeth" is what give you the right to comment on DND.
You guys really got me. I did have a missing tooth then and had not put on my tuxedo that day. If only I was able to maintain the incredible example of human physique that you two have been able to achieve. Unfortunately I was not born with an Adonis like visage that both of you were fortunate to be born with.
No one is perfect. I'm much more concerned with your insane view that d&d is an engine of human improvement and social change than I am with appearance.
@@blacklodgegameswhich you felt would best be explored by commenting on their physicality?
@@pimpbisquick7036 You would understand if you also had an adonis like visage.
@@blacklodgegames which explains why you didn't have an actual answer, because neither of you guys have one. Thanks for sharing why you were unable to actually answer the question.
D&D has been the only engine for social change on planet Earth for 50 years. Whether that is a good thing or not , from one's own perspective, it depends on what one thinks of the way that it has been used
Stop, there is no need to counter point by point. Identify, call out, then ignore. This would have been much better if it took less than ten minutes.
Don't care didn't ask plus you've got a Heinlein pfp
@@blacklodgegames To clarify, I agree with your criticism of that fool. I just think you dignified him with too much time.
"All the creatures like him" - because you have diagnoses me as not mentally sound, then I am not human?
"Get back in the slop" - I am really not sure who you guys are used to talking to but it is offensive to refer to another human being as a bug and a pig.
You guys should think carefully about taking a break and making no more content until you have an understanding of how to talk about people that you deem as not as mentally sound as yourself. You think you are able to mock others because they lack your mental stability. That is not correct. You have books and books and books of learning to do before either of you make new content. Your insensitivity and othering of someone you deem to be not mentally sound is abominable and you need to learn about tolerance before you proceed.
Tell 'em Steve-Dave! You cant just go around making fun of retarded people like that!
You are insane. The sad thing is that insane people don't know they are insane. So you won't stop. Hopefully, people that care about you, if there are any, will stage an intervention and institutionalize you.
Oh my goodness - did you just openly mock MLK?
Nope... Just openly mocked YOU
YES!
this dude is so nuts I can't believe you found him hahaha this is gonna be good!
