This is where I watched my parents die, (Patreon)

Here's another example of a time when I'm willing to come back to a joke. The whole "This is where I watched my parents die" gag is popping off again recently - in my mind, I already covered this one back in March with the AMOGUS video. Heh. Two trends in one. But, I'm willing to revisit the format, especially this much time later, on occasions where I like the joke enough. And of course, it being a Fabino post further bolsters its importance to me. There's pretty much no Fabino post I wouldn't dub for any reason, unless maybe like "I just don't think I could do it justice" but even then I'd probably just grab other VAs to voice it and find some cameo for myself.

Not sure if I've ever talked about this on here but, I like to grab other VAs for the shitposts, it's fun, helps makes the videos better, and gives other folks some spotlight. But I have a personal rule that I myself have to voice in the video in SOME way. This is because in my mind, there's this structure and therefore expectation that I voice all the videos on my channel, and I feel like it'd be crossing a line somehow to upload a video I don't voice in at all. It's like the one unifying constant to the videos is that I voice in them. Well, and I "edit" them I suppose. But I'd feel like it would be crossing a line or "outsourcing too much" to do a video which I don't voice in whatsoever, when that's the one thing I bring to the table that I'd think people even come to my channel for. Even if it's just a single word, I gotta be in the video. Sorry, I think it probably seems a bit egotistical - I'd be glad to post videos I don't voice, but I think it'd just feel a bit weird of me to do somehow.

Anyway that ramble aside, here's what you probably really want to know: what's banginghotmoms69 saying? It's "golosovaniye udar chelovek letuchaya mysh'", or at least my probably shitty pronunciation of it. This is what Google Translate (a pretty inaccurate service) says is the translation from "vote kick man bat". You might be wondering why I wrote "man bat" instead of "batman". Well, the translator says the Russian would be "golosovaniye udar betmena" which wasn't long enough for how I wanted to pace the video and also just sounds like saying "Batman", and "vote kick bat man" would have translated to "golosovaniye udar letuchey myshi" which also just felt a bit too short.

I could have consulted an actual Russian for accuracy, I know a good number of folks who could've, but I personally think it's kinda funny for it to be wrong because then it's like the guy doesn't really even care enough to really know who he's even talking to. Plus, honestly, I'm impatient and I hate bugging folks for stuff. Especially folks who I don't talk to normally, because then it feels like "oh you have no worth to me until you're useful to me and then we go back to not talking" it almost feels more insulting to them than just never talking to them at all.

The truth is I adore those folks I'm thinking of, I just am not much of a chatter for the most part. If you get me started I ramble a lot and enjoy conversations with people, but the prospect of chatting as an activity isn't particularly appealing to me so I almost never start. Most of my time is either working, or trying to finish working so I can go play video games. And also I'm usually already in the booth by the time I really think about it, and I like to get the shitpost recorded and wrapped up when I'm already on it, if I have to juggle the plate of messaging someone and awaiting a reply and stuff I'm probably going to forget it for like six months - forever. A lot of stuff is still sitting in The Pile for exactly this reason.

Where was I...? Oh right. Yeah this is a fun meme, I like it. It also makes me think how I should play more CS:GO sometime.
