Profilers have limitations like anything else, and it's possible to be pointing the flashlight in the wrong place. I probably wouldn't include that as a list item. By the by, is there more than one kungtotte on the Internet? It took me a minute to think why that name was so familiar, but then I remembered watching a few hundred Beaglerush videos.

There must be more than one, because I've never heard of Beaglerush. I've used this handle for a long time though (20 years or so), so it's all over the internet.

  Kk, thank you for indulging my curiosity. Beaglerush is a very humorous Aussie who is notable for a video series on the Long War mod for the game XCOM. Long War turns a moderately challenging game of thirty or forty hours into an extremely complex, impossibly difficult ordeal of at least 400 hours per game. Beagle apparently often uses the handles of his friends as character names, and one of the best/worst parts of XCOM is that it's really good at making you care about the little blobs of pixels you order into virtual mortal peril, so to me kungtotte is like, the hero of 100 missions :) If you're into strategy games, XCOM is good, and Long War is matchless. However, Beaglerush is actually surprisingly entertaining even if you don't care for his subject; the girlfriend is still not much into the game, but after the first couple episodes she insisted on watching the other hundred-thirty-odd videos. It's probably not everyone's cuppa, but it could be a thing.

    Oh, that's me then :) I didn't put two and two together because I knew him as just beagle, and it was a long time ago that I hung out with him. We played together in a gaming community known as ShackTac or ShackTactical, playing a game called Armed Assault/ArmA. Way back when a bunch of us put our names into a custom name file for XCOM so people could make campaigns featuring ShackTac people instead of generic dudes. I completely forgot about that until you reminded me. It must be five years since I talked to him :)

      Oh cool :) Yeah, I did get the impression that the name list represented more former acquaintances than current ones, and I think he got pretty burnt out on YouTube generally. He seemed like a pretty great guy, and the series was excellent, so it seems you have a small measure of reflected glory at least :)
