[@UncleDane]

What i took away from this story is that Bing Soy is definitely an interesting and creative person. Thanks for documenting his enigmatic presence! I can't help but feel pride in contributing to this story in such a passive way - the fact that you guys were able to so consistently encounter Bing Soy and watch his antics is a big part of what makes community servers so essential to the spirit of TF2.

[@viviainusher4766]

I could be wrong, but the house from 23:40 actually makes me deeply reminded of the setting of inscription. All alone, just you and a strange man playing a card game. It could be off but having the loney wizard make an appearance later makes me wonder about it, as the whole game has a somber and sad vibe that bing soy seems too resonate with.

[@wildlyAJ]

Oh dang that does sound like it could be it in inscription the part with the short 3d scene where you walk towards the final leshy bossfight looks really similar with the pines n stuff

[@electricpepperoni4789]

I personally interpret it as Bing Soy finding comfort in Tf2, a little hideaway where he can experiment and be himself. Then when he sees all the negativity, he feels lonely again, like the lonely wizard in inscription, which can also, like you said, tie back to Tf2 being a hideaway, but still a somber and decaying, and lonely, one.

[@MagaraManV2-vp5he]

I think bing soy was saying that things went to far. with just "stick" the photo shows elmaxo discovering bing soy which he is not happy or sad . "sticker" is not just elmaxo but majority of tf2 players recognizing bing soy and not playing with him, just watching him weird. THE MOST weird one is the stickest for me because I think elmaxo went TOO FAR with the discord , youtube and such. Some mf found his fucking house and stalked him ırl. that would suck dude I hope my theory is wrong

[@SirPembertonS.Crevalius]

This is the most cryptic and loveable TF2 player I've ever seen. Bing Soy: -Plays Tf2 in very unconventional ways. -Sends a google drive link with pictures instead of simple answers. -Makes impressive pixel art. -Has great editing skills on his channel. -Is committed to the silence. I hope Bing Soy keeps on enjoying and TF2 and inspires others to embrace the wacky and chaotic charm that TF2 can bring.

The only way to trully have fun is to never rush what you love doing the most

[@pAiGeDrAgOnKnIgHt]

As someone who has played Inscryption, the Lonely wizard is a character who obsesses over his mentor, constantly craving approval, but being punished or challenged by his mentor forcing him to live in a dimension with absolutely 0 stimuli of any kind till he kindof goes crazy. Ill let you figure out what that means for bing soy exactly, but thats a tl;dr on the character.

[@joe_the_zombie]

Can we take a moment to appreciate just how good and clean his art looks? Like that's some genuine skill that he has and it's very cool imo

[@zitronentank1324]

i was about to say that lmao i agree comepletely

[@someweeb6897]

Quite.

[@Aodhan_Raith]

I 100% agree. His pixel art is very nice. It's easy to look at, and effective at conveying his messages. I think the reason he communicates this way is because it gets you to think about his messages rather than just hearing words. Words sometimes go over our heads, but if we're forced to think about it, it could very well more easily change our perspective.

[@HybridHenderson]

I gotta do art like that doe, is nice

[@athecata2597]

What program did he use to make the art?

[@harris23456]

I think his message to the tf2 community was literal. A blank canvas. The game is yours to interperate just like his drawings. He wants us all to experiment and make art of our gameplay

[@honkhonk8009]

Bing Soy has a point. What makes these old games so much fun, is the "Emergent Gameplay". Stuff that you learn to do out of "quirks" from the game engine. Such as rocket jumping or ninjaneering Games should learn from making their games simple on the surface, and adding the depth to be more "discoverable". Modern games are too structured to allow for creativity

[@aironshepherd527]

That is a beautiful way to think about that.

[@V1_thePrototype_from_ULTRAKILL]

​@@honkhonk8009 a good game with that gameplay is ULTRAKILL, it gives you all the tools you need to do cool things, you don't have to learn them, but If you learn them, the game just gets more fun and rewarding.

[@MrTri-qq6ws]

I have actually played Inscryption with some friends and so in game the wizards whole things is that he was sensory deprived and thus wanted to seek stimulation, so i think the image of the wizard means that Bing Soy no longer gets the stimulation he wants from playing TF2 conventionally, but the unconventional methods give him some overall fun. (just a theory and I know like no one will read this so if you did then thanks to you and to Bing Soy)

[@lilshadow48]

That's probably it, and it's very relatable once you've played for a long time. After a certain point the regular playstyles really do just feel like playing with your brain off. I've started doing different loadouts lately for that exact reason, though I think I'm gonna get weirder with it after learning of this legend.

[@brianeagan8628]

i was just about to say that!

[@Caurnots]

What an interesting personality! Bing's crypticness only makes it more interesting. I get this feeling that Bing has difficulty connecting to people and it makes me feel sad. Bing clearly has a hacker mentality, experimenting a lot, trying to figure out what the game can do, instead of what it was designed to do.

[@stavkous4963]

That sounds a lot like me in a way, but he did it better

[@jonahbritton3657]

The lonely wizard from inscryption is a character who was isolated for a long time and who now craves any sort of stimulation to an extreme degree. Perhaps this reflects how Bing Sou feels: isolated, and wanting to feel a part of a community or game for a bit. Maybe driving off a boredom and monotony they feel in their own life. Idk

[@EggyEggtoast]

To add to this, the lonely wizard when you obtain him as a card in inscryption has two major qualities; First is that he has an ability called "Clingy" that makes it so he will move from whatever space he occupies in the board to the closest vacant space he can possibly get to any cards the player deploys after him (to note that he does this automatically) And second that what he says when this ability is activated is "Hello, friend!" as his card art vibrates giddily. Knowing that, I'm 50/50 on whether or not he has a strong desire to make friends through the game through or despite his quirks OR that he might find the people tailing him clingy and feels jumped on. Bing Soy seems to hold the group in good regard though so I'm more inclined to the former.

To Bing Soy's tactic of torching everything as pyro, I think he's doing that to catch any cloaked spy's (because I do the exact same thing whenever I'm alone, entering a new location, or am suddenly approached by someone in my team color. I spam the flamethrower just as a precaution because the spy's keep sneaking in from nowhere and one-shotting me in the back)

[@templatus006]

24:35 That looks like the Lonely Wizard from Inscryption. For context, The Lonely Wizard is a character who studies under the Scrybe of Magiks Magnificus. Magnificus does painful things to his students as tests. Lonely Wizard's test was complete sensory deprivation. When he finally got out, He left Magnificus, and is in constant search for Stimulation. I don't know if this means anything, but maybe this helps. I doubt this comment even matters, this is a year old video, but I got into TF2 soon after getting into Inscryption, so this is something I noticed.

[@benc589]

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

I think some of it was that he was first found because of his unusual strategies, which are, well, strange! (And frankly, strange videogame strategies tend to be fun, right?) Then his "strangeness" was cemented by his unorthodox communication tactics, such as communicating through his pfp or sending google drives of pixel art. Not knocking him in any way, it's sometimes fun to be strange, and sometimes fun to see strangeness.

[@Internetresident0451]

24:43 I was not expecting to see the Lonely Wizard of all things in a TF2 video, but I'm not complaining! Not super surprising a game like Inscryption would appeal to such a character as Bing Soy. For context on the character, Lonely Wizard is one of Magnificus' apprentices in Act II, and each of the three apprentices is undergoing some cruel trial to prove their devotion. One had their still living head impaled on a spear, the second is Goobert, a goo creature that is in constant pain, and the third is the Lonely Wizard, who is undergoing sensory depravation. When you fight Magnificus, the Lonely Wizard can be seen dancing along the UI border on the bottom of the screen :)

[@skootfan-se3fk]

Bottom left drawing at 28:26 could mean he's looking for the correct way to either happiness or succes while avoiding things like stress or even being burned out. The question mark could entail that he doesn't know the way yet, or doesn't know what hos ultimate goal is.

24:31 In inscryption, the lonely wizard is a character who has been trapped in complete isolation for most of his life, and seeks out any form of stimuli after being freed. This probably means he was feeling lonely and isolated, and is looking for connection through tf2. The cabin in the woods in the “other” folder also seems to resemble leshy’s cabin from inscryption, so take this as you will. It’s worth mentioning that inscryption had a huge ARG associated with it.

[@patrickstar144]

It could also open up the possibility that all the wacky tactics that Bing Soy has up his sleeves is his form of "stimulation" (alluding to the lonely wizard in inscryption) because his tactics are so out there and never done before, meaning that the dopamine rush or stimuli taken from performing the task makes him embody the character of the lonely wizard by trying things that nobody else has ever done in an effort to find stimulation.

24:46 That Inscryption character is called the "Lonely Wizard". He was tortured for many years by total sensory deprivation, and by the time you meet him his whole character revolves around how he is completely obsessed with any form of stimulation after having been denied it for so long. Anything that happens to Lonely Wizard, good or bad, is euphoric just because it's better than no sensation at all I interpret this as Bing Soy being lonely, or perhaps having been lonely at some time in the past, and now he is getting a sense of euphoria when he is recognised in a crowd for his unusual behaviour

[@voidpathing]

Interesting take, I can definitely see that being the case. If that's the way bing wanted us to interpret it then I hope he's doing good.

[@turbulent_oven5217]

I think it also had something to do with the graphic at the beginning of one of his videos. The one that shows a stick figure getting progressively sadder, with the description, something good can come out of something bad. I think that means that he was severely depressed, and now that he's out of it, no matter what happens, at least it is something. Depression is described as a lack of any emotion, so this would make sense with your prediction. Now that he's no longer depressed, even the most crippling sadness is better than nothing.

[@turbulent_oven5217]

Also, the stick, sticker and stickest image could mean that he was isolated from people, and found an escape in the form of tf2
