  1. There are parts of that comment that are true and parts that aren’t. We were friends. We DID duel back in the days of DkS1. I did not enjoy being roll BSed for 3 hours straight - not out of any fault of his, but because I was bad and it was frustrating me. I got less friendly towards the end of the session but I did NOT “stop talking to him” because of it. I always had the feeling that Parn did not like me, and it stopped me from actively seeking him out to talk. After our set of matches, we didn’t talk much - whose fault this is is unclear, but if I must take the blame for it, I will - and I’d mostly forgotten our recorded session.
  2.  
  3. I think we tried to organise more duels at one point, but I remember not having time around then, and I don’t think Parn asked me about it again. I completely forgot we were going to do anything. I would post the 3 hour session of me being BEATEN INTO THE DIRT if I still had the footage, but my HDD crashed and took out a lot of my other works in progress with it.

  5. When I saw Parn hit 200 subs, I was happy for him. His content, though not specifically what I wanted to watch at the time, was obviously popular with a few people, and because he was my friend (and never stopped being one) I congratulated him. Uploaders should support each other if they’re friends and all that jazz. I wouldn’t have popped into his streams or MADE A VIDEO about a night of fun I had with him and my friend HereticLoyalist if I disliked him too much.
  6.  
  7. So Parn and I were in different places. I THINK he thought I was actively avoiding and disliking him while I thought he just didn’t like me all that much but remained benign. Until he posted a confusing comment on my video asking me why “I had to have so much of an opinion”, as if opinions aren’t allowed to be shared until a certain threshold of skill in a videogame has been reached. I told him I was having fun with the game and wanted to share my thoughts as the game and I evolved together. I told him I was sorry he wasn’t enjoying, and left it there.

  9. Justin replied to him, wanting to know what Parn meant by his comment.

  11. Parn then replied and said “Some channels are actually about gameplay rather than just someone who likes to hear themselves talk. Considering you guys just hang out in your little click where you don’t improve I can see how you don’t understand.”
  12.  
  13. I didn’t see this coming at all. In one comment, he insulted me, Justin, and anyone else he thinks hangs out “my little clique”. I have thick skin when it comes to most things, but I think most people could understand why you would be annoyed if someone you thought was a friend suddenly insulted you and every other close friend you had.
  14.  
  15. I don’t make content that everyone will enjoy. That’s obvious. I can take constructive criticism. But it’s clear that he’d been sitting on these feelings for a long time before something in my video forced his hand to make a comment. Justin replied, in short, telling Parn that he shouldn’t tell other people how to run their channels. I didn’t reply, but Parn replied with a very mature “#SwiftRage”.
  16.  
  17. Then he replied to Royal Sentinel, who was trying to be supportive on his rant video, and completely tore him down with jealous rage. Even if you don’t like someone’s content, if someone offers support, then you shouldn’t spit in their face.
  18.  
  19. Royal Sentinel was offended. He linked the video on GameFAQs, and it snowballed from there until Parn’s rant video had been flooded with dislikes and honest - and in some cases, constructive - criticism, to which Parn has responded by insulting people, the ‘Darker Souls Chat’, which I’d never heard of before this whole thing came up. Apparently I ‘hang around’ the Darker Souls Chat, which is funny because I can guarantee you that I’d never heard of it, and if I went there, nobody would have the faintest idea who I was.
  20.  
  21. If it was something that I did after that one session of duels that ruined our friendship, then I’m sorry for that. Never intended for things to go this way. But Parn is right about one thing - it’s petty for a game to ruin a friendship, and I guess it’s good to see the kind of person he actually was, underneath. I don’t want that person as a friend, or as a part of my community.
