Goronmon, do games w Deadrop developer Midnight Society cuts ties with Dr Disrespect following new Twitch ban allegations

He actually responded to this on Twitter.

twitter.com/DrDisrespect/…/1805662419261460986

Two clear quotes from the tweet.

Were there twitch whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes.

and also

I’m no fucking predator or pedophile.

Usually what the predator pedophile says.

“I did it! But she was 17! Get over it people. Gosh darn it.”

Who the fuck finds his streams entertaining.

FiniteBanjo,

Part of me wants to give some benefit of the doubt but it’s really difficult. Maybe he was trying to meet up at the nintendo panel for upcoming Super Smash Bros Ultimate and the Twitch admins read “I can’t wait to smash with you.”

If DrDisrespect has actually been wronged then we will find out eventually after a defamation suit, part of the reason they settled it last time might be because the mere allegations being released to the public could be harmful but that cat is out of the bag.

can,

Part of me wants to give some benefit of the doubt

Why? Hasn’t his official statement said enough? I have no idea who this guy is. Is he that big?

pipe01,

Used to be the biggest streamer on twitch before he got banned

can,

Welp, I’m not on twitch but if I ever heard his name before it never registered. Who’s the biggest now? Or just make someone up I’ll never know.

Chickenslippers,

Probably the biggest streamer right now is a rainbow six siege streamer named jynxi who averages near 100k viewers

can,

Is this real? Or are you just tricking me by using an older game I’d know?

Who can tell

Chickenslippers,

No tricks here my friend. I don’t know how a console playing siege person could become that big but he did it

FiniteBanjo,

Because I think mob justice is criminal. If Dr Disrespect did wrong then he did wrong, but we don’t know anything other than the fact that he has in fact spoken to a person who was under 18, which in itself is not a crime.

Twitch banned him 3 years after the supposed contact between the two, and attempted to go without paying out his contract termination until he started a lawsuit and Twitch settled it.

can,

casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate,

This is what he’s willing to admit. I wonder what constitutes “inappropriate”.

mosiacmango,

Twitch turbo ejected the largest streamer on its platform days after the messages were sent, so… likely pretty fucking inappropriate.

These were DMs, so never public, but the “tried to meetup at twitchcon” makes it seem like he was explicitly trying to rape a kid and thats where twitch, who could have just said nothing, hit the “fuck no” button.

Fuck this guy and good on them. Amazon still has some decent people, or at least did.

4am,

The messages were sent in 2017. They weren’t reported to Twitch until 2020, at which point they reviewed and took action - that was the whole “Doc got banned and we don’t know why” saga.

Now we know.

Crikeste,

Defending a pedophile isn’t a good look, Guy.

FiniteBanjo, (edited )
  1. I haven’t defended him, I’ve consistently said he might have committed a crime, though that would be unlikely given it was 7 years ago.
  2. Labeling everyone you don’t like as a pedophile isn’t a good look.
Crikeste,

Nah, sexually texting a minor isn’t a two sided thing. There is no justification for it. There is no ‘I’m not a pedophile’ about sexually texting a minor. The sexual texting a minor is the intent to do more. You don’t simply ‘play around’ sexually texting a minor.

FiniteBanjo,

Then don’t sexually text any minors. Very simple. Now that I’ve helped you sort out your odd unrelated moral dilema, do you have anything to say about the Doc?

mildlyusedbrain,

Yeah he’s a creep and so are you

can,

Were there real intentions behind these messages, the answer is absolutely not. These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.

😑

474D,

This is literally “I was inappropriately talking to a minor, nothing more” like wtf lol

can, (edited )

This man felt he finally had the opportunity to share his side of the story and decided to lead with that.

Edit: Now in skit form

micka190,

I can finally share my side of the story now that Twitch employees have come forward. You see, all I did was indulge in a little bit of grooming. One might even say it was a minor case of grooming.

Anyways, I’m not a pedo.

Doc out!

Telodzrum,

This might be worse than when that woman ukeleled her sexual predator apology.

kandoh,

That’s what they always used to say to Chris Hansen when he’d confront them about the texts

4am,

Someone already got Chris Hansen to do a Cameo for Doc 😂👌

pushECX,

LOL do you have a link for it?

Most of the ones I can find are react content re-uploads. This one has corny captions on it but at least it’s the raw video.

Damn, not even NFT bros want to hang out with an alleged predator.

micka190,

Hear me out: What if they took the DMs and made NFTs out of them?

SomethingBurger,

NFT = Non-Fuckable Teenagers?

The defense is: if he did anything wrong he would be in jail.

My brother in Christ, you don’t need to do something illegal to be a shitbag.

Well, we knew he was a shitbag beforehand, so that’s not really what’s in question

themaninblack,

How about recording in a public bathroom?

That’s about what you expect a cop to act like.

Such unexpected behavior from a person who was unfaithful to their spouse and who brought a cameraperson into a public bathroom. I’m shocked (/s)

Immediate wishlist. Hope VR support comes in the future!

Their last game was in Godot and the engine has a small vr modding presence, so even if it’s not official there’s hope!

(If this one is in godot, not sure about that)

But several people also noted that the games industry goes through cycles of mass layoffs, because simply having a stable business isn’t enough for investors. Revenues must grow by a chunky margin: if they don’t, costs must be cut. Embracer’s mishandling of their business might be grotesque, but it’s business as usual nonetheless. “We make a shitload of money, but it doesn’t go back into the games,” one person commented. “It goes into a lot of now very wealthy peoples’ pockets, and the people who actually make the games kind of scrape by, most of the time.”

late stage capitalism

I have never wanted to play a game so hard in my life. It seems to have the atmosphere of Inscryption, the gameplay of Papers Please and a lot of buttons and knobs to mess around with.

My rule would be simple: The only ships allowed to land are those crewed by a captain who can pronounce this accent-free. Every one else gets acquainted with the business end of the Planetenverteidigungskanone.

Looks like an interesting game. Definitely added it to my Wishlist so I don’t forget that title!

warm, do games w After 10 years in early access, 7 Days To Die finally has a release date for version 1.0

The game still plays like it came out 10 years ago and it was outdated then even. I don't know where all that development time went.

ouch,

I bet they wasted most of their time doing rewrites of various mechanics for no good reason.

zarkony,

Yep. They rewrote the progression/leveling system like 5 times.

warm,

Yeah.. I watched a dev stream and they didn't even know what they were doing with a planned stream, coincides with how they handle the game I guess.

Lizardking27,

They were too busy ruining the game by turning it into a repetitive grindfest.

7DTD is fun, but The Fun Pimps have made some perplexing design decisions. Luckily there are a ton of great mods that all have unique spins. I prefer the Darkness Falls mod, it fixes a lot of the stupid design decisions of the original makers, and ramps the difficulty since vanilla 7DTD can be pretty easy after you get built up. Darkness Falls adds supernatural demons to the mix in the late game, and a ton of new mechanics, I absolutely love it.

the_toast_is_gone,

My favorite mod is Undead Legacy. It lets you craft schematics for the items you need by scrapping the ones you don’t need. You can find cars in the world and repair them to full working order, including lights and sirens on police cars. The progression is much more granular with item tiers doing from H all the way up to S three stars, and that includes the item mods now. Your inventory is weight-based instead of slot-based (except for containers) and you can carry a much wider variety of gear.

If this mod sounds fun, I strongly recommend also adding the anti-bullshit sub-mod that someone made for UL.

Geek_King,

Fantastic, Undead Legacy was on my radar! My best friend and I have played hundreds of hours of Darkness Falls and have loved every moment of it. We’ve a bit worn out on DF, but I’ll keep Undead Legacy in mind the next time we want to do another play through of a 7DTD mod! What’s the “anti-bullshit” mod do by the way?

the_toast_is_gone,

Among a few other things, it makes leveling up twice as fast as normal UP (apparently UL doubled the XP needed to level up), you gain two perk points per level, the amount of research data you get from schematics (which you need to craft others and upgrade workstations) is doubled, and the chance to upgrade items is changed to always 100%.

Geek_King,

That right there is incredibly good to know. Those little changes would make it bearable! Thanks for the information!

I played this a few years ago on GamePass and disliked it. But that was before I understood how survival games worked thanks to Valheim, Raft and Grounded.

Worth it to take it for another spin?

Il_winters_lI,

I’ve played about 1000 hours since alpha 19. I really like it. The majority of that time was with mods though.

ArtVandelay,
@ArtVandelay@lemmy.world avatar

This is probably in my top five games of all time. I think it really works if you try hard not to compare it to other games, and just play it on its own merit. It can definitely be janky, but that’s part of the charm.

gigachad,

I played Valheim and Raft, and 7 days will keep you entertained for much longer. The blood moon mechanic is great, there is a nice skill and crafting system and going for a “loot” is very varied. I had 3 playthroughs with 1-2 friends the last 3 years, where one is around 70 hours for us before it get’s boring.

SlapnutsGT,

Been coming back to it since the early days when it was blocky like Minecraft. Each big update we’d spin up a new world and dump 100+ hrs into it easily. Def worth giving it another shot

BedbugCutlefish,
@BedbugCutlefish@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t care for it. It does some interesting things, in base building. But having played it a lot mostly because my friend group likes it, it’s very janky. It does not feel close to 1.0. And, while there’s some fun to be had, everything outside the horde nights just feels like busywork in a way I didn’t feel with Valheim or Grounded.

CarbonatedPastaSauce,

It’s fun and I enjoyed my time with it, but once you understand how the zombie waves work it’s very, very easy to build a cheez defense against them, and then there’s no difficulty anymore.

As long as you don’t look up guides on how to build the cheese bases you’ll enjoy yourself.

mercano,
@mercano@lemmy.world avatar

The big thing to differentiate 7D2D is every seventh night you’ll be besieged by a zombie horde. You spend the week reinforcing your defenses, stockpiling ammo, and upgrading your gear, then you’re tested. If you’re interested in this kind of game loop, it’s worth a in-game week or two. Like many of these games, they’re more fun with friends.

PlzGivHugs,

I’d personally say its like a 7 or 8/10. Its probably the most mechanically varied and deep PvE focused survival game, but at the same time, it does really feel incomplete. Building lacks options, end-game content is often finicky or tideous, and performance issues can make the game near unplayable in enemy-dense regions.

MeatStiq,

The console versions were published by tell tale. And then tell tale died. So they couldn’t update the console games at all. It’s a night and day difference on PC to ps4.
