Welp, I had one once... Until I fucked up our relationship due to some tantrum that I regretted and we just lost contact for 2 years now, yet part of me still miss her, but no matter what happens, I just hope that she's doing great and being happy at what she's doing right now.
@arthaniso7alright similar for me except it was my tomboy ex who was perfect but something happened and it felt like my brain broke from drinking too much and stopping
"You're a terrible liar, I know you like Star Wars" is my new favorite Holostars quote. I didn't necessarily *have* a favorite prior to watching this, but this is the new one.
The way he described this story made her sound so threatening, like he was under duress and wanted to blast through it as fast as possible. I wonder what would have happened if he didn't finish the game.
Reminds me of some certain "gyaru x otaku" troupe in mangas. Old man Vesper really lived a youthful highschool life, just like most manga/anime depictions. Sasuga.
Believe me. Most people live through an anime/manga romance trope at least once in their lives. It's just that most people are too dense to realize that....
@@custodesmarco So the dense protagonist trope isn't just a trope played for laughs, it's an actual mental disease that many people unfortunate people suffer through. Hope we find a cure for it one day.
Yeah, there's one time in highschool that a big breasted girl convesed to me and i tought she was pranking me. Then i asked my friend about his opinion and he said she might be pregnant so i ghosted her 🤣
@@custodesmarco True that. Or maybe they just haven't read that much manga to even realize they were in the troupe themselves, only to think back and regret it later in the future
well if you remember the beginning of the story he says he was afraid of getting bullied for liking star wars if they are bullying someone for liking star wars who would she talk about star wars with if not the nerd who is bullied for liking star wars?
I like that he stayed up over 24 hours to beat it so he could return it as soon as possible...but it was Spring Break so he definitely had a lot more time if he wanted to.
I too was from the era where SW was nerd bait. As weird as young people culture is today, at least yall can watch and like Marvel/SW type of movies without getting clowned on.
Their main stream in a way I don’t particularly enjoy now. I’m struggling to think of the proper term I want to use but the best way I can described where Star Wars is now is that it’s very neutered. Like, a lot of people that clearly hopped on the bandwagon and don’t know much about it got their hands in it and I’m just not a fan of modern SW. Same for marvel honestly
@@Broomer52 Its probably because it got bought by the most mainstream of the mainstream studios in Disney and they are mass producing media without it being able to breathe. Of the stuff I've watched its been hit or miss. I liked Mando, but haven't cared for the rest I've seen (granted I haven't seen everything). Even though people say the new series is pretty good, even if it is a little more of a slow burn.
@@kimarhironso437 if it’s any consolation Disney is choking and dying on their hubris. The low effort remakes, the alienation of older fans, the rampant greed. Look up the state of their parks and you get a good idea of the state of Disney. They’re desperate to keep themselves afloat and recent actions taken are not the actions of a company in a good position. It’s one thing to screw up their own stuff but they made a fatal mistake: the upset Marvel and Star Wars Fans.
nah, the role is just reversed. the nerd used to be bullied because they like star wars, but now the nerds bully everyone who likes star wars, the Disney one that is.
I want the story when Tempus group encounter a dark queen only for her to realize Vesper is there and she was like "Vesper, long time no see, still playing KOTOR?"
I didn't expect the SC to get read considering how fast the chat was going, but I'm glad it did. We got to hear Vesper's chance encounter with a really cool goth girl that he befriended through KotOR. I also feel ashamed when Gramps told me that he breezed through Dantooine in 12 hours, saying it was really QUICK.
I'm not surprised the KOTOR Guidebook is fricking thicc. It's basically a TTRPG but in video game form. I tried getting into KOTOR, but my god it is so not beginner friendly with the stat distribution, rolls and skills. Stats are everything, and if you invested in the wrong stats and don't know how to use your skills, you're fucked. In modern games, you can still complete the game if you have bad stats but not in KOTOR, which is a shame, cuz I love the story, just not the gameplay aspect. I might go back to it one day because SWTOR kinda reignited my interests for it because of the references, but probably not anytime soon.
And now Vesper looks like the kind of guy goth girls would die to be with. Oh how the turntables turntable. Fr fr He was exactly like me in high school though. Anytime a girl or pretty much anyone approached me I wasn’t friends with, you could hear my brain sizzle. Thankfully, socialization after high school made me less awkward.
Man the only times I had girls come up to me in high school was when they were dared to ask you out so their group could laugh at you, never fell for it but it definitely wasn't nice. I think that school was just a bit shit though, because both before and after that I've known girls that were cool and kind
My favorite thing about stories like this is that the other involved party could conceivably stumble upon it one day and all the memories come flooding back. Who knows, they may even reach out!
Back in middle school, over 25 years ago, I remember looking through an ad (compusa? Been years.... Forgive me). A more jock member of my class came over and noticed that I was on the pc game section. Pointed out TIE Fighter and asked if I played it. Of course I did, but we hardly ever communicated, and thought the same thing as vesper. He is going to roast me. He started to go on about what a great game it is, and we talked about it a bit. I would say we didn't become friends, but we did have some respect for each other. It is one of the things I think about when thinking about how wide and from different points of life fans can come from. Fans of Hobbies like pc gaming and fandom of Star wars isn't just for nerds. They are every where.
there is a chance, no matter how small, that a (former?) goth girl sees this clip/stream and go "oh shit, that random nerd i talked with over star wars is Vesper"
That's very interesting because KOTOR was not just the game but the THING that got me really into Star Wars. Before KOTOR, I knew of Stars Wars existence but I honestly couldn't even pick out what happened in which movie because I had only seen them in passing. I feel like I might actually be older than Vesper or maybe I just didn't play it until years after it came out but I don't remember ever playing the game until I was at least a few years into college because I didn't get an Xbox until I went to college and had many fond memories of playing Halo through the school's LAN network and eventually waiting out in a MASSIVE LINE for the release of Halo 2 where the local GameStop fed us cold pizza and we stayed in very high spirits despite all the chaos. We played SO MUCH Halo 2 in college, it was crazy. I just remember that at SOME POINT I did get a copy of KOTOR and after playing it I just thought to myself that this was the best Star Wars story I had ever seen. I just Googled it to make sure but KOTOR came out in 2003 which was around the time I first started college and Halo 2 came out in 2004. Honestly, I think I actually played KOTOR after Halo because it was a used copy of the game that I got and it was definitely after seeing Attack of the Clones which had me in a pretty uninterested point as far as Star Wars went. The sequel apparently came out at the end of 2004 so I probably played it sometime in 2005 or 2006 and just laughed really hard when they made a joke about a really horrible line for the prequels in the opening act.
Vesper just gets repeatedly roped into romcom tropes and runs the fuck away every time
he's truly a wizard
He knows what to do.
He's saving himself for Carmen San Diego.
If he ends up with a harem, he'll never get laid. Thats how it works in anime. He's trope savvy
@@seifer447 Well, time for NTR.
How to threat the anti-social/weirdo kid in the class:
1° Bully him ❌
2° Force him to play the game you like from the franchise he likes ✅
That is actually how you get them to open up and become your friends, I would have been over the moon for anyone interested in any of my interests.
tsunderes be like, NOPE! make him hate me instead! and then act surprised when he ends up hating me!
"congratulations, we're friends now. please do not resist"
Ha!
Extroverts and introvert things
Resistance is Futile.
K2 moment
I love this on many different levels
The more we hear about Vesper, the more I realize this man's the true protagonist.
Connor: Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be LEGENDARY.
@@luckylukas2282 that where you wrong giguk have been alway the protagonist
@@NemesQ Both protagonists, different genres.
Different protagonists in the same guild. Axel also had his popular phase.
Wait till you hear about Axel’s stories
Thank you, unknown goth girl. Your discovery of a treasure led to grandpa reaching it too.
he revealed in a twitter space that goth girl was a lesbian which is why it would have never worked out, anyways. rip
“You’re a terrible liar. I can read your soul.” Wow, what a flex.
today I learned that Vesper is literally the 4chan greentext guy
> THE infamous hacker known as 4chan???????
We hev to stahp the 4chinz
Vesper looks like a dude that casually befriends goth girls
He is a vampire, after all. Can't be more goth than that.
Vesper got groomed into being a KOTOR fan.
GOD, send me a goth GF that likes star wars 🙏
It’s the dream.

death by snu snu
I bet on ritual sacrifice for lord George Lucas.
😳
If he didnt finish the game.... she will still be around

I'll say it once again: Vesper's stories are always a pleasure to hear!
a random girl comes to a random guy then forces him to play a game. well, if she isnt totally interested that means she really need to go out more.
well if you remember the beginning of the story he says he was afraid of getting bullied for liking star wars if they are bullying someone for liking star wars who would she talk about star wars with if not the nerd who is bullied for liking star wars?
@@tertene extrovert people problems. Don't have someone to talk to about what you want, pluck one out the introvert box of lost and found.
*wacky Sitcom announcer voice as the camera pans to Fauna*
"And NOOOW They work at the SAAAME Company!"
I absolutely adore that nameless goth girl she's an enlightened being. I hope she's having a good day
it would be pretty ironic if said goth girl is a fan of Vesper
I could listen to this guy tell his life stories for hours. Cover did good when they hired this man.
the way he end the stream while laughing, i love vesper
"3DPD"
That's a phrase I haven't heard in a long time... a long time.
Kotor is so good. Thank you goth girl for lending it to papa Ves 🙏
"and now we're married with 3 children and a dog"
I like that he stayed up over 24 hours to beat it so he could return it as soon as possible...but it was Spring Break so he definitely had a lot more time if he wanted to.
dear christ this man is out there refusing every romance trigger like a shounen protag
If KOTOR Goth Girl is out there somewhere, I hope she remembers Vesper’s story as fondly as we do.
She's a keeper
How does Vesper manage to be the biggest nerd and chad AT THE SAME TIME??
anime protagonist energy
can't believe he said 3DPD lmaoooooo
somehow Vesper met the real life Manic Pixie Dream Girl
The fact that he knows 3D Pig Disgusting makes me like him even more. Vesper is my favorite holostars member by far
Vesper lives a fascinating life

But SW sucks now after going mainstream. I feel embarrassed for even liking it once now LMAO
nah, the role is just reversed. the nerd used to be bullied because they like star wars, but now the nerds bully everyone who likes star wars, the Disney one that is.
Props to the girl though. I would have walk away after he said no 🤣
damn, I wish a goth girl approached me in school
I want the story when Tempus group encounter a dark queen only for her to realize Vesper is there and she was like "Vesper, long time no see, still playing KOTOR?"
No surprise, she probably likes the Siths, who are like the ancient emo goths in Star Wars.
Knowing how some goths turn out, she either never left that phase and is still goth or is a loving mother of 9
Maybe she's still goth AND a loving mother of 9... cats.
>3dpd
>immediately end stream
>refused to elaborate further
HOLY BASED
I didn't expect the SC to get read considering how fast the chat was going, but I'm glad it did.

I also feel ashamed when Gramps told me that he breezed through Dantooine in 12 hours, saying it was really QUICK.
Vesper: No
Also Vesper: * Wearing a Star Wars hat with a R2D2 shirt and a death star keychain *
a vampire and a goth girl...
...classic...
...and perfect
Ngl, I can see that scenario happening in RomCom manhwa, manga or novel
vesper is somehow both chad and a nerd lol its great

Oh so this is the betrayal clip for rpr boi
HOLY shit I havent heard anyone say 3DPD in a LOOONG time. bro almost certainly used to go on the chan
>3DPD
Okay vesper knows what's up
Goth girl: hey you! I need a friend to discuss this game with. Go finish it then we can be friends.
She might not be the first crush but there's always the 2nd place.

Everytime I see a Vesper clip, it makes me think that we would absolutely be best friends.
This is a light novel plot. I want to read it.
The thumbnail choice just makes me imagine Vesper as Danny Fenton.
The most relatable clip yet.
bruh this is legit the set up to one of those gyaru + nerd romcom mangas
...
I know that cause its my favourite setting
Nice, Grandpa’s gettin’ some-… wait that sounds wrong.
I love vesper, I relate to this man so much, he would be an awesome friend to have
And people always said this happends just in fictions lmao
how the fck vesper is so fckin DENSE!?
Big brain Vesper.
>First crush was Carmen Sandiego
Based.
Based indeed
I knew why I related to Vespie so much lamo
Ok, I watch only Magni because he is funny af, but this clip really made me think that I should watch Vesper
Goth girl: do it
Vesper: Sounds fine to me
He is the chosen one!
This story was very touching, thank you for clipping it
New challenge: is it an anime romcom tropes or Vesper life experience.
there is a chance, no matter how small, that a (former?) goth girl sees this clip/stream and go "oh shit, that random nerd i talked with over star wars is Vesper"
Goddayum that goth chick read Vesper like a fucking book.
so he was a dense protagonist at some point 😅
VESPER YOU COULD HAVE GIVEN HER THE...................
Based grampire
Rpr is in shambles again, and this time Axel's not the culprit
damn.. now i wanna pick up kotor again.. and ive been holding out for a re-play untill the remaster gets done too..
his laughter 😂
Well, now I'm interested in if she ever played other games. There are so many (J)RPGs around during that time, surely there were some she would like.
Now we wait for fanart of Vesper x Goth Girl.
Vampire Guy x Goth Girl. I see this as an absolute win
I love this "And that's how I met your mom" vibes
Grandpa’s got good taste if Carmen was his first crush.
my dude was this close to clap goth cheeks.
I mean friendships grow from the most exotic soils
Where in the world is my oshi
his first crush being carmen sandiego is so real holy shit 😭
I just know he fumbled a badie
Man, now I feel like finishing Rogue Squadron, I forgot about that one for the longest time
So 2nd crush then ☺
Imagine that goth girl into vtuber and watch this
becoming friends through shared interests? how is that weird? that's like the most normal way to find friends.
The real question, now, is, was it first high school, second high school, or "set him right" high school?

4:15 Hell yeah Carmen was a babe!
winnin granpa. what a chad goth chick lol!
lol 3DPD
Gramps has best luck
Have a good taste with Carmen Sandiego
Yeah, KOTOR is so good, that even not a fan of Star Wars would enjoy.
