GrayStillPlays is a channel that runs on Comedic Sociopathy where Gray tortures his characters and himself every episode, but there are some things the are too much even for him.
- As already mentioned typically Gray likes to do terrible things to his characters, like putting them in death traps or deliberately always choosing the worst option. In The Doomsday Crisis Line and Moko's Advice
, the in-game consequences are so awful that he starts picking the nicer options when possible. Naturally in those particular games, those options usually end badly as well. In fact, Gray comments how in both games the good options are worse than the bad options. - A common set of standards if a character flat out said they aren't unique or lonely. He felt bad when he rejected the guy in Moko's advice. Also, when Gray played The Doomsday Crisis Line, he encountered a guy that only called because he was lonely, and he was forced to kill him with the skeleton saying "nobody cared about them anyways". For once, Gray seems genuinely horrified and shocked at the complete callousness of the skeleton character, which considering the type of person Gray is, says a lot.
- And while playing Blind Justice, when hearing the case of a woman who killed several small children and heard her statement, well...Gray: "THEY BLED LIKE PIGS"?! Sweet baby Jesus! (sentences woman to be executed)
- It's worth noting that this was during a run to piss off both the government and civilian parties, which he tries to do by acquitting those clearly guilty of the crimes they're accused of.
- Gray actually sympathizes with Marty in a few of the Downer Endings in Air Marty, most noticeable in the ending “Life saver” ending. After he sees Marty go homeless after someone misconstrues Marty giving CPR to sexual assault, Gray has only this to say (keep in mind he just stopped laughing at the scene in general):Gray: That is the image of a broken man with nothing left to lose. Achievement unlocked: Life saver.
- On the other side of the same coin is the "An Evening With Marty" ending, where he seems legitimately terrified.
- He avoids jokes or gameplay involving underage sex or relationships. Once while playing The Guild 3, he says he wants to find a wife that's as young as possible for one of the characters so that they'll be able to keep having children for a long time ... then when one of the options is a fifteen-year-old, he just says, "No."
- In "I became the principal and this happened", Gray's initial plan was to say yes to everyone's requests, no matter how bizarre or stupid they were. This lasted until a teacher requested that they be allowed to "give extra marks for a kiss" — he promptly shot her down, appalled that he seemed to be the only person who realized this was a bad idea (as well as the fact that his secretary only seemed to object on the grounds that ugly kids wouldn't be able to pass their classes).
- In "i opened a toilet company that ruins lives" he plays Toilet Management Simulator. His original goal with the game was to not clean anything and see just how horrible his public toilet could get, until his first clogged toilet became so absolutely disgusting that he couldn't take it anymore and immediately purchased all the cleaning tools so he could fix it.
- In "The Call of Karen", the opening moments have a radio host interviewing a woman, and he immediately asks her "[what] a good Christian woman like you is doing out of the kitchen and on America's airwaves", Gray's immediate response is a horrified gasp, followed by a horrified moan, followed by pointing out the blatant misogyny when describing the game.
- While playing Field History, Gray despises Daniel and even after saving him, he's happy when it's revealed that Daniel died a slow and painful death. Also in the same vid, Gray also does feel bad for the other patients and how they died.
- Gray typically loves to torture himself with stupidly hard games or levels. Ark Survive, however, was so hard that even Gray found it too much, and by the end, Gray was just trying to get through the game instead of trying to die in every way he could like he planned, and was commenting how it was "harder than performing freaking brain surgery."
- In "When you don't make it past your 2nd birthday", he wants to make all of the wrong choices (as per usual) in Hyper Life, but when his character finds a puppy in the garbage with the options being "Bring it home", "Give food", and "Throw rocks", he's shocked that the last one is even an option. He flatly says "We're not throwing rocks at the doge!" and chooses "Bring it Home".
- In "i had to choose the worst way to end lives and this happened" even Gray found some of the ways people died too much, and legitimately seemed to shock him, like the sheer amount of rocket launcher deaths and someone being crushed by a giant poo.
- In "I went to a school with 100% death rate", Gray seemed genuinely horrified at the game he was playing where by the end every single character was dead and the ghost was ready to murder everyone on the planet.
- Gray on occasion has been on the receiving end of this, for example:
- Gray's sims are all mostly jerks who a perfectly fine with torturing each other even without Gray's help. They all despise Gray for all the torture he puts them through.
- This even extends to the literal Grim Reaper, who finds the sheer level of torture and death Gray gives his Sims too much, to the point where on many occasions, he just gives up trying to take the souls.
