Dazz, please allow me to personally thank you for coming forward with your testimony, as well as making this thread.

Your contribution helps more than you might think.

Again, thank you.

...Like, shirts that make fun of Dazz and tsr...? or...?

Basically, all I really recall at the time is that Psyguy had starting bitching about us, so I made a vague post on the site explaining that our previous host was ranting about the manner in which we left (which I tried to do, dignified), and that if he would kindly stop being a jackass, it'd be appreciated. I tried to be vague, because I didn't want to call him out, but I also knew he looked at the site at the time because it was his primary source of sprites. I also didn't really want to have to talk to the fucking guy.

A few hours later, a post on Fireball20XL with a screenshot of my update and the text "He's talking about meeeeeeeeeeeee!" was put up... And he then started to quote me, and put up a load of shit for sale on his Cafepress account.

Because I don't tend to shy away from making my contact details public, and never have, this obviously resulted in a lot of people being pissed off at me, and sending me some pretty nasty shit.




I'd also like to add that Petie is pretty spot on with why I'm getting involved. While some people don't think much of it, this guy has crept up into my life more times than I would like - I have known him for more than half of my life, and every time I try to get away from him, he keeps on trying to come back. He is a narcissist and needs to be put in his place. He has caused damage to not only reputations, but also mental health.

I was reluctant to make this public, to be honest, due to the nature of my relationship with him being from a more professional level, and coming out about those details can obviously hurt me. But I feel that in this case, most people will be understanding to my reasons, and hopefully in the future it will actually reflect on the sorts of people who wish to associate with me - people who aren't massive assholes.

psyguy was before my time i think, but after reading stuff he seems like a complete piece of shit and i'm glad he's being publicly called out tbh

I didn't know it was possible to be that much of an actual baby. Like, I've called people actual babies in the past and I was joking (like half of this forum). It looks like Psyguy's rightfully earned himself the title of An Actual Baby. Damn. Wow. Shit.


But while reading your post on Blizooka's tumblr, I noticed this:
Quote:”[…] any comics hosted on Psy’s server, we’re happy to offer free hosting for. If you could add that please!”

Uh, um, uh
Spriters' Resource comic portal confirmed???

RE: The Case Of The Internet, vs. Psyguy - Dazz - 06-19-2014

Nah, just free hosting. No portal or any involvement from us.

But I like Dazz...

I didn't mean to insinuate that I dislike Dazz... I was using the sarcastic clap, after all.

RE: The Case Of The Internet, vs. Psyguy - Mystie - 06-19-2014

Oh. Sorry. Tongue

I actually remember this event. Not so much the Cafepress stuff, but I honestly remember Dazz making a mature post about things and Psyguy going off about it like the baby he is. It was really kinda amusing and yet sad at the same time that someone would act that way.

Well, after skimming through some of the history and reading this post, I now have a better understanding of what's going on here. Just allow me to apologize from my only other post in that I didn't know how deep this ran between this site and Psyguy. I honestly don't see how anyone could act that way towards you though; as long as I've been here you've always been cool.

RE: The Case Of The Internet, vs. Psyguy - DioShiba - 06-21-2014

I remember seeing some of the bullshit that happened with Psyguy vaguely.

You know, come to think of it I didn't think of much of it at the time the last time there was some sort of BS with him. To be honest it's caught my interest now because it seems like no one likes the fool.

Actually he sounds no less different from another jackass I know IRL.

I can actually kind of sympathize with why people don't like him. It makes sense knowing everyone's story with this dude.

RE: The Case Of The Internet, vs. Psyguy - Gors - 06-21-2014

I don't remember about him and I never saw any of his works. I guess that's for the best

In truth I've seen some of his works. Some of them are alright and some of them are well... Mediocre. I couldn't give a shit about his sprite comics since I'm not a fan of those kinds of works. However, that's just in regards to his artwork. Far as the person behind the art I can't say that I like him nor could I give any less of a shit about him given what I know.

Like the artist for his art only (in this case, there's only a few I like), not for the person he is.

This wouldn't be the first time I have had a mindset like this ether when it comes to people like psyguy.

RE: The Case Of The Internet, vs. Psyguy - Ngamer01 - 06-21-2014

I unfortunately have seen some of his works and did at one time enjoy them. Not anymore. I did enjoy some other stuff posted by other people during Fireball 20Xl's heyday like "The Scrambled Channel". But when people started disappearing with updates to the site pretty much almost ceasing, I lost interest in Fireball. And I learned why that was last week. It was a complete shock.

I don't know if Psyguy can be criminally charged with anything with statue of limitations, but he really needs to be taken down several pegs.

He's decent with Photoshop - the meat of his sprite comics (pretty much his bread and butter and the "basis" of his empire) as in the "humor" leaves a lot to be desired.

HILARIOUS.


It's typical fanboy stuff, but occasionally peppered with dick jokes for that "unique" "Psyguy" "magic".
He's more or less a content creator, similar to you, Gors - but honestly, you create original, inspiring stuff that people admire (it's true)
He instead creates...green sonic.
And makes fanworks featuring green sonic.
And teenagers love hearing about green sonic and weird sonic universe pairings.

As for his actual artistic ability, is that worth writing home about?
I wouldn't even bother picking up the pen on this one.

What are shoulders. What is skeletal structure. What are hands.

He's 31.

[+]There are posters half that age on this site that have a better grasp on anatomy and facial structure.
I wish I could draw with that much effort and get half the buttpats this guy does on his DeviantArt. ):
