We love low poly big nosed banana creatures in this house yes we do! Fingers crossed a Gwimbly game actually gets made in the future.

I love that they did no go with the wash out celeb tropes. I expected Him to be a junkie / drunk and stuck up Ahole who keep trying to act like a celeb. But he was somewhat down to earth and felt like a decent person down on his luck. I loved this show.

@ectofriend 4 ай бұрын

I was looking for just this comment. I was thinking about the episode and it dawned on me that they didn't fall back on the easy tropes or clichés that usually come with this sorta story. All things considered; Gwimbly seems like an alright dude who actually does just wanna make another game he cares about. They didn't use the easy jokes of having him be a druggie or a drunk. Same goes for the big shooter guy. You think he's gonna be some evil edgelore and....nah, he seems kinda chill too and is happy to be friends with Gwimbly.

I think it adds to Gwimbly's likability that he isn't mean or a psycho like mr.frog, he just seems like a nice guy who was treated unfairly yet seems rather upbeat in spite of this. edit: I would totally play a banjo kazooie/crash bandicoot type gwimbly game.

I personally thought Gwimbly's Cameo career was a reference to the homeless tiktoker Daniel Larson. He's become somewhat infamous due to his predatory behavior and schizophrenia. He's become a massive target for online trolling and harassment due to it. He started doing cameos for cash, essentially doing anything people asked of him. He would also start charging exorbitant amounts for them. He'll read out loud chat donations pretty much no matter what they are, he's been tricked plenty of times to shout out some less than savory people. He's also a serial dine n' dasher, basically blacklisted from every restaurant in the Denver Colorado area. His list of crimes and allegations really go on and on... if its the type of thing that interest you, I heavily suggest looking into him. There's more than enough binge worthy content online about him, he's probably one of the most interesting internet personality since Chris Chan.

As a gamer, Gwimbly was painfully relatable. Everything you said rings terribly true of the industry, but it's done in such a clever way that it feels like a love letter (and a bit of a 'gotcha' moment) to everyone involved. I enjoy weird characters like this, and Gwimbly's just a likeable guy whom we deserve better than what cards life has dealt him.

@ProtomanButCallMeBlues 4 ай бұрын

Gwimbly was definitely more relatable and had more depth. We got to see him happy, sad, angry, thankful, and it's one of the few times I felt the character was actually alive. Guys like Shrimp and Mr Frog were kind of the same thing from beginning to end, but I'm fine without ever seeing them again. I actually do want to see more of Gwimbly and even James they both fall into that special category like Dj Spit did where they bring the show to life.
