Other blogs have covered the initial meltdown better so I'll not go into detail about it. A little over a day ago, though, Kyo apparently made his triumphant return to not only FFXI but also the TaruTaru Times blog! It seems our grown-up responsible adult Travis not only crawled back to a linkshell he used before but returned as Kyo, rebooted Kyo.Net and remade his Kyo twitter account, with a link to said blog in it.
I don't have screenies of them anymore but his only tweets were naturally links to said blog. The strange thing is that he has no followers, though... But when did no viewers ever stop anyone with an ego and a platform from advertising themselves?
I'm informed of this by someone on twitter, mind you. I'd actually only been aware of the Iroke Conglomerate (are you serious? You program an RPG-maker looking project with a weeaboo name and call yourself a Conglomerate? Entry-level IT guy is a little full of himself, I think.) blog page. And the forums, with all three users on it.
Breaking news: I actually went to go screencap the forum post where he states that Sakurazukamori or whatever the hell it was called was on "indefinite hiatus." This is after he says the game is 95% programmed, and during the sentence where he admits he can't write anything resembling a story. Turns out the forums are gone, or at least appear to be. On top of that, Iroke is just a blank webpage with nothing on it now. I must have really done a number.
I'm getting ahead of myself. Kyo returns to Twitter despite him writing a long (now deleted, because the child refuses to face anything he's done wrong and chooses to delete it instead) blog about how his time at work had made him grow up and realize Kyo was just a mask and that he didn't need games. I make ONE tweet at him about this.
Ten minutes later, my laptop is telling me twitter is taking a long time to load while my phone is telling me that his tweets are protected. A fun hole in twitter's security is that when you block someone, these two things do not sync. Of course, I get no reply from the man himself.
Some banter happens between some folks in the know and then I go MIA for a couple of hours while I hang out with my friends. In those three hours, a number of things happen. One, he either actually made his tweets private, which is unlikely because Kyo's ego must be fulfilled even if he has no followers to see his blog links, or the more likely choice is that he went on a blocking spree and shut out everyone associated with the NB as a whole.
But wait, there's more.
Without a single further word from me, he decides to back out again. Iroke is gone. Kyo.net is gone. His previous tweets are gone. Twitter doesn't like it when someone decides to nuke their profile, though. That's why you see the funny disconnects between the number of listed tweets and the actual number, the the default twitter picture and his Kyo one at the top. My phone displays none of these things, including the "FFXI and FFXIV player" and the link below it.
I can't stress enough how amusing and pathetic this is. It's hard to believe I ever broke bread with this guy, or wasted time on him. When all it takes is a single hardball of truth thrown your way to completely destroy you like this? I don't want to associate myself with weakness like that.
I want to address those tweets, though. Man I want to address those tweets. Doing that, though, would make me look angry or something, and I'm really not. This is too funny to really rile me up.
Okay, fine. To address that top tweet, then: You're a pretty shitty toy if you break after opening the blister package.
Hi, Travis.
