Cowgod180 is not a man with opinions. He is a sealed intellectual biosphere. Every ordinary subject enters and is converted into Cowgod Matter: class resentment, industrial policy, Japanese competence, corporate degeneracy, mysterious elites, declining female attractiveness and the fate of physical media.
His Star Fox 2034 wishlist contains this:
“Plot about whether pilots are still relevant in the age of drones and AI and Fox proves everybody wrong … constant cost overruns on the fifth gen Arwing subplot involving Pepper testifying before Parliament … Political squabbling on Corneria between the right wing (dogs) and left wing (cats) … Krystal as the main character but not hot anymore … apes who are just evil in an everyday way and they control the media and economic system.”
This is supposed to be a Nintendo game. Cowgod has somehow inserted technological unemployment, defence-procurement overruns, parliamentary oversight, partisan zoology, declining beauty standards and control of the financial press into a rail shooter about a fox flying through rings. A lesser lunatic writes fan fiction. Cowgod convenes the Cornerian Chilcot Inquiry and demands that General Pepper explain why the fifth-generation Arwing is twelve months late and 40% over budget.
And “Krystal as the main character but not hot anymore” is the perfect Cowgod clause. Not ugly. Not redesigned. Not hot anymore. History has occurred to her. She has passed through the same civilizational machinery that ruined Western AAA, OCI, physical games and probably suburban architecture. She returns as a symbol of institutional decline.
Then there is this communication to the moderators of an anti-Nintendo subreddit:
“Mods don’t give in to Reddit/Nintendo/ghislaine maxwell Meta keep this subreddit up. Ik the founder ‘killed himself’ under mysterious circumstances but don’t be afraid and keep up the good fight and quatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Just because Nintendo had the emperor on their side doesn’t mean they can assassinate you imho”
Read the escalation. Reddit moderation. Nintendo. Ghislaine Maxwell. A suspicious death. Imperial Japan. Assassination. “Imho.” He begins with a subreddit dispute and, without taking a breath, discovers an international conspiracy extending from Kyoto to Buckingham Palace to a prison cell in Manhattan. “Imho” then arrives at the end like a tiny legal disclaimer stapled to the Unabomber manifesto.
Even “quatever” improves it. Cowgod is moving too fast for spelling. The Nintendo security apparatus may already be approaching. There is no time to correct the opening consonant.
His profile displays 8,543 post karma and negative 100 comment karma while listing him as moderator of r/true32X, r/truegamecube and r/AAAGaming. This is almost too perfect to have occurred naturally. The electorate rejects him at the individual-comment level, yet he continues founding institutions. He cannot win the town-hall debate, so he establishes another republic and appoints himself consul.
And then, in a discussion about using the original PlayStation as a CD player:
“PS1 sold as well as it did specifically because it was used as a CD player, not unlike PS2 with DVDs.”
Specifically.
Not partly. Not as a fringe benefit. Sony sold more than one hundred million PlayStations because the public needed an extremely inconvenient CD player requiring a television, controller and game console to change tracks. The PS1’s games, price, branding and 3D hardware were apparently supporting considerations around its principal function as a music appliance.
It is the confidence that makes it Cowgod. Anybody can possess a wrong historical theory. Cowgod casually resolves an entire generation of consumer-electronics history in one sentence and then leaves. No defence. No citations. The truth has been deposited.
The extraordinary thing is that his errors are rarely boring. Cowgod is not ignorant in the dead Reddit way, where someone merely repeats a misconception they read elsewhere. He manufactures original misconceptions with bespoke internal architecture. They are artisanal. Each one contains his fingerprints: total confidence, bizarre causal reasoning, fake quantitative precision and one small true observation buried inside the wreckage
He is not correct. He is not well. He is not replaceable.
