-->'''Sseth''': If I'm being perfectly honest with you, Space Station 13 is a fantastic game, but I genuinely don't recommend you play it. Why? Because the engine it's running on is probably older than you, because the interface is a convoluted mess and only usable because me and every other autistic chimpanzee who played this game has committed the hotkeys to muscle memory, because of the insane time investment and commitment required for you to learn a single role, and, because to be perfectly honest, the servers can't handle all of you. At best, we can handle like, [[VerbalTic firty]] extra players before you grind the servers to a halt.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Before settling on making comedic reviews, Sseth dabbled in [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends League of Legends]] videos, reading strange things on the internet and just footage of him screwing about with his friends on online games.

* ComedicShotacon: regularly exploits the comedic value of [[DudeLooksLikeALady Traps]], and he's [[HasAType quite specific about which ones]], having used images of [[LightNovel/FateApocrypha Astolfo]], [[Manga/BlendS Hideri Kanzaki]], as well as [[LightNovel/ReZero Felix Argyle]], the last of which he even has a full-sized hug pillow of, [[ImplausibleDeniability which he bought solely for a video, of course]], as it turns out, [[MundaneUtility its pretty good as a neck pillow]]

[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD6VugMZKRhSyzWEWA9W2fg SsethTzeentach]] is a Youtube content creator who has been active since late 2007. Although he started his career with posting VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends videos, he deviated from this niche by making his [[{{VideoGame/MightAndMagic}} Might and Magic VI]] review in 2014. Meme-laden reviews of games has since become his main videos on his channel, although many of said games that he reviews are enjoyed by him to the point that he is willing to passionately recommend them to his viewers and goes as far as to give installation advice and his personal game keys. In his early 2019 review of {{VideoGame/Dwarf Fortress}}, he declared that he had left his medical job so that he could work full time on his Youtube channel.

The humor in his videos has frequently been described as something originating from [[{{Website/FourChan}} 4Chan]], having made jokes and satirical potshots against most groups of people in the world. He has called himself a {{Man Child}} on several occasions and many of his videos have [[{{Main/CrossesTheLineTwice}} crossed the line at least twice.]] Indeed, many of his early videos are crammed with so many cropped and edited NSFW images, [[{{Main/FreezeFrameBonus}} freeze frames]], and memes straight from /v/ that it's not unexpected for multiple viewings to be needed in order to spot all of the jokes and references.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Sseth is an avid consumer of hentai, or so he appears to be. Occasionally, snippets of NSFW doujin and their hosting websites will briefly flash on-screen before disappearing. Based on his tone of voice, it's very much implied that he does what a normal, sensible person do when they consume such media.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: If Sseth covers a game that allows for some kind of atrocity to be committed, you can bet he will commit it while showcasing the game.

* BoomerangBigot: Has made numerous jokes about jewish stereotypes, such as referring to his patreon supports as "The Merchant's Guild", but would later reveal that he's actually a German Ashkenazi Jew.

* EveryoneHasStandards: While Sseth has never had a problem with porn or violence, he easily admitted to finding the brutal (and fully voice acted) rape, dismemberment, and vore of ''Evenicle'' to be sickening.

-->''([[[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ow5lGFju1c on]] [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]])'' The custom spellmaking in particular can be abused to make some disgusting spells, such as the ability to camouflage yourself perfectly 100% for 1 millisecond and steal something right in front of the merchant but just because they couldn't see you physically taking the object, they can't establish causality.

** Using the trademark symbol (™) in his video titles, can be seen in several of his newer reviews; examples include his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ow5lGFju1c Morrowind review]] (A Moon-Sugar Fortified Experience™), his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjugsyOKNvg STALKER review]] (Soviet Survival Simulator™), his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC5niDwkaV8 Deus Ex review]] (Stop Globalists™ | Tase Children™), and his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ2r2ZFTaWk God Hand]] review (Beat Thugs™ | Demons™ | Women™).

* StylisticSuck: Sseth's gags usually include very crude photoshop jobs to replace a subject with a meme or person of interest. Failing that, he will just slap the images he wants on top of whatever's going on. The slapdash nature of these has a charm of its own.

* SophisticatedAsHell: Part of his comedy comes from his extensive vocabulary contrasting with the silliness he covers.

* ComedicShotacon: [[DudeLooksLikeALady Traps]], and he's [[HasAType quite bloody specific about his preference]], too! He's used images of [[LightNovel/FateApocrypha Astolfo]], [[Manga/BlendS Hideri Kanzaki]], as well as [[LightNovel/ReZero Felix Argyle]], the last of which he even has a full-sized hug pillow of.

Some of his reviews such as {{VideoGame/Kenshi}}, {{VideoGame/Space Station 13}}, and {{VideoGame/Starsector}} have brought large amounts of new players flocking towards their forums and games, and has gotten to the point where some of the developers have explicitly acknowledged him.

* ''[[VideoGame/HeroesOfMightAndMagic Heroes of Might and Magic V]]'' (Dec 15, 2019)

-->'''Sseth''': I must... explain something to you that I can't stress enough, this game is not for the faint of heart... I've... [[BrainBleach seen some shit]]

* GreedyJew: [[{{Main/ParodiedTrope}} Parodied]] in his Patreon account, he named his Patrons on the site as the 'Merchants' Guild' and has links on his videos where fans can 'give him shekels' (donate). When his Morrowind review got copyright striked, he revealed that he is a German Ashkenazi Jew. An earlier outro song he used was even the Hava Nagila, perhaps one of the most traditionally-Jewish songs out there.
* GameBreaker: Encourages such tactics to be invoked in any RPG that has them. Indeed, he seems to be under the impression that you aren't a ''true'' master of the game until you can not only abuse how broken {{Game Breaker}}s are, but prove "your bullshit strategy beats your opponent's bullshit strategy."

--->Sseth on his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ow5lGFju1c morrowind review]]
* HiddenDepths: Sseth revealed in his DLive stream that he actually is a trained medical professional who branched off into pharmaceutical research with a master's degree in cancer immunology, specifically immunotherapy. He ended up leaving the profession out of disgust for the overly corporate nature of the medical and pharmaceutical industries.

* RefugeInAudacity: Used frequently in his videos alongside {{crossing the line twice}}, but a particularly noteworthy example that was played for laughs was in his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ2r2ZFTaWk God Hand]] review. After stating that you could emulate the game on PC since you couldn't buy it from the developers anymore as they had gone on to form Platinum Games, he spoke as a viewer inquiring whether he pirated the game or not. He then proceeded to dodge the question by announcing that funded over $1,000 worth of {{VideoGame/God Hand}} {{Main/Rule Thirty Four}} using his sponsorship money.

** Him reviewing games that feature drug smuggling and organ harvesting are more than a little common, having shown how practicing [[{{Main/BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord}} 'non-consensual organ arbitrage']] is very profitable in {{VideoGame/Rimworld}} and how transporting hashish to the United Cities is a great way to earn fat stacks of cats in {{VideoGame/Kenshi}}. His {{VideoGame/Starsector}} review featured him heavily using both illegal trades and provided a crossover third example.

* {{Scanlation}}: Once did a comedic reading of a pornographic Dōjinshi translated into stereotypically [[UsefulNotes/AustralianSlang Australian English]].
* SelfDeprecation: makes liberal use of the GreedyJew stereotype while being jewish himself and at points questions the judgement of people that decide to give him money for his videos.

* VerbalTic: Pronounces "th" as an "f", as in "firty" instead of "thirty"

* WouldHurtAChild: Played for laughs. If a game has, and allows you to hurt, children, you could bet your money on Sseth openly trying to kill at least three of them per review.

* GameBreaker: Encourages such tactics to be invoked in any RPG that has them.

* LameExcuse: In his review of the overtly erotic JRPG Evenicle, Sseth mentions its good thing the game can be played one handed... Because he [[BlatantLies injured injured his wrist]].

** There is a running gag in the fandom that Sseth is the SplitPersonality of fellow videogame reviewer [=MandaloreGaming=], akin to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with Mandalore being the "sane" half who dominates when he's on medication, and Sseth, being Hyde, emerges whenever he doesn't take his pills and wants to talk about something NSFW. The most unifying aspect of both, which fans have noticed, is their love of [[BaraGenre Gachimuchi]] culture. Both are aware of this, assuming they really ''are'' separate people, and Sseth briefly "turns into" Mandalore at the very beginning of his ''Evenicle'' review.
