I think it depends on how his appeal does. If he wins his appeal, he's fine. If he loses his appeal, I expect him to settle.
He's already spunked a small fortune. I don't think he completely lacks all capacity for rational thought. When he figures out how much more it's going to cost him, I think he'll settle.
Whichever way it goes will be entertaining. He settles and has to explain to his audience, or he will stubbornly push on.
For the record: I think he should settle for his own sake. Unironically and not in some spergy reverse psychology manipulation.
That is straight-up anti-Christianity. What a fucking tard.
Nick uses 'grace' to abrogate the hard rules of Christianity.
Sean is having an engagement party stream and he has a bunch of guests on. The woman top center is his fiancee. Below her is the janny that nick performed a strip dance for when he went to that live show and rented an BnB with a stripper pole, I think? Bottom left if meme copium, japanese travel streamer that is friends with mindset and is aware of nick's lolcow behavior. Gosney is probably aware of Nick's antics so far too. No idea on Runkle and Dani.
Think Nick will show up? Or did he already say he won't?
They're talking about wedding venue or honeymoon spot, I'm not sure but Sean joked about picking Jaimaica

Whatever happens, congrats on your engagement, Sean!
EDIT: If Nick shows up, I hope Sean gives him a rash of shit just like Nick gave Sean when he was on Nick's show. Sean has earned it.
Nick did not make an appearance.
There were Jamaica and Dan-dy jokes. Most instigated by the chat. Runkle and Dani seemed genuinely confused by those, but they were able to chime in (sometimes uncomfortably in Dani's case) on a few Balldo jokes.
ValhallaAwaits is a goat farmer that is a retired veteran. He also buys batches of baby chick's at the farmer market as 'cannon fodder' for the coyotes that plague his farm. Dani was horrified.
Balldo is now following a bunch of tattoo artists and one "wealth guru" on his Instagram.
Look out for more trashy tattoos.

Desperation and more degeneracy.
He has said that he and the wife want to get more done. They are also attending the Minneapolis tattoo convention again.
Doesn't he make a big show of liking warhammer, and iirc used to talk about painting the minis and playing the game? Or was that just for show as a way to signal "look how much money I have" (warhammer can be notoriously expensive)?
He claims he likes warhammer, painting the minis that he's self admittedly awful at. He does not play the game. Someone here, I think @Captain Manning said it sounded like he did actually know warhammer lore.
He likes the lore and has a level deeper than normal familiarity with it. He used to watch lore videos in his free time. He has read a few of the books and paints a few minis with Az and Sargon on stream. Nothing is done. He leaned aways from that content and vidya once the weeb audience shifted away.
Speaking of books; has anyone read that book he recommends so much? I don't recall the name; but greek scifi nonsense.
The book was Ilium by Dan Simmons. The second book in the series is Olympos. Haven’t read either though, so can’t comment on that.
I had been planning to; but after his downfall I'd prefer second opinions. I suppose if there is an audio book, I've nothing else to listen to at work.
Joe is watching Nick V Destiny; if anyone is interested.
I know for a fact that Audible has it. I remember looking into it after one of the times he recommended it, it sounded fine.
Here, have a phonefag screengrab of it. Idk it just sounds like a guy who really likes Sci-Fi and Greek mythology a little too much smushed them together. But I've not read it either, so I'm not one to talk.
Edit: also it's almost 30 hours long. The Iliad and Odyssey combo audio book is only 25 hours and Fellowship of the Ring is a little over 19 hours, as a comparison.

It is a long duology that is a bit of an 'art house' Sci-fi read. It is in the vein of Epic Fantasy Sci-fi rather than Techno or Military Sci-fi. I see shades if Orson Scott Card and Asimov's and 70-80's writing with casual attitudes toward sex, sexual identity, and nudity. Various bodily fluids are described in detail. The Hyperion Cantos is in the same vein as well.
While the technical execution is impressive for interleaving various literary sources (Shalespeare, Proust, Greek Mythology, Homer, and even obscure Russian literature) and melding them into a coherent narrative, the narrative aspect suffers for it. Characters are named for things related to their literary source (Some of the Trojan War characters are named for somewhat known Illiad critics) and their character development stops about halfway through as they became static chess pieces to tell the story the author had in mind.
Overall, the 'art house' label was chose because it reminded me of films tailored specifically to win awards--they hit checkboxes for critics and snobs while being self-aggrandising and trying to be clever. With Nick's Creative Writing degree, I am not surprised he raves about it--it pulls of a complex writing feat that appeals to the intelligentsia, but on a entertainment value level, it is lacking.
The ending was somewhat abrupt and non-satisfying because it was an end to the epic story--not the individual character stories ans I prefer chatacter stories.

Ilium/Olympus involves Shakespeare and Prost quoting robots from Jupiter investigating post-human gods on Mars re-enacting the Trojan war. Then it gets weird.
Don't let Balldo ruin it for you, it's a wild read and may be my favorite scifi book series ever. My only real complaint is it's got some immediate post-9/11 messaging that's pretty dated at this point. Still very much worth checking out.
Simmons' Hyperion Cantos is also very good, although the sequel Endymion series is not nearly as enjoyable.
Agree on Hyperion Cantos. See above for thoughts on Simmons, if you care.
Man, that summary makes it sound...eh. The way Nick talked about it I figured it'd be more. Guess I'll grab an audible sub; assuming that's the best thing for audio books these days.
Use a VPN and American e-mail and I get a free month subs every few months. I even use thr dame account and e-mail. If you are patient.
Is that the one he goes on about where a priest gets repeatedly sodomized by catbois and this apparently says something profound about humanity
Yeah pretty much my view, never got around to it and now I'm not sure I want to.
No, that is Sparrowhawk or something. I read Illium ans Olympos, and I have no interest in the other. It seems further down the degenerate Sci-Fi (like late Heinlein) slope than than Hyperion or Illium/Olympos.
The more literary side of the scifi/fantasy genre always sounds like a shaky proposition to me because combining fart huffing with jetpackshit or magicshit almost has to lead to cringe by default. Though I'm guilty of various literary crimes myself including this so I suppose I have no room to judge Nicki for his taste inOlympus.
Simmons is trying to prove how clever he is the whole way through the book by tying together literary references--some obscure and that do give a little thrill when you recognise them--but objectivily is a cheap thrill for literature snobs like myself.
The good point is that he does come up with novel ideas through the whole book that kept me interested enough to read on--dspite sub-par narrative. It is like he dumped a bunch of interesting and novel ideas into one story on creativity overload. He could have taken the ideas and concepts and made 2-3 other stories.
Add in the final wrinkle that even while he maintained that upstanding Christian schoolboy life, he was admittedly addicted to pornography. Instead of seeking help or guidance, it's far more likely he kept it close to his chest. Whether that's because he didn't see it as a problem, he thought he could beat it on his own (no pun intended), or he was simply scared that admitting he had this flaw would further alienate his father from him, it hardly matters now.
I don't think he should be taken seriously when he says he "struggles" with porn "addiction" if only because he's the exact kind of fag who would spin it that way for pity from the drooling retards still giving him money rather than actually thinking of such a thing as a problem in his life and trying to fix it.
Sexual sin in the Church is highly stigmatised and has poor support avenues. Part of the issue (if real) is institutional, but I agree Nick pontificating on it is some cringe on the level of people who proudly proclaim their EX-Christian status and atheism. It js an attack on the Chirch they feel failes them, and ego boost and pity forming for them.
