ProtonJon's Descent Into Madness - TheRunawayGuys Highlights (Mario Party DS)

I'm aware that some channels that featured Chuggaaconroy have since deleted or privated their content due to recent events.

@@infinityheart_tm9270 the game loves whoever is player 1 since the AI chooses who to steal from based on who has the highest port number and works their way down if that player doesn’t have any items.

[@asterlofts1565]

It's just a theory, it may be more or less true or not, but Jon's rage was so great that he unloaded all his frustration, anger and disappointment at once and his brain made a mental CLICK to completely relax and forget this... could be because it was like a small "trauma" that his brain tries to forget and store in the depths of his subconscious or because he unloaded all of it in one go and with force, he was totally discharged from all the bad stuff he kept in his mind was due to these bad and stressful events for him, so he no longer had anything to empty, like batteries from a flashlight and Jon's brain could only try to calm him down after this (I don't know the name of the brain chemical responsible for relaxation).
