the dril candles tweet guy is real. he was Zaurg on SomethingAwful. posted about his then-wife who bought a houseful of candles.

zaurg got into cryptocurrencies. he bought shitcoins at December 2017 peak on a credit card. someone on SA bought him a "SELL YOUR SHITCOINS" avatar and custom forum emoji.

"the dril candles tweet guy? yeah, he's into cryptocurrencies now."
