Sanctus, do gaming w Dr Disrespect Admits To 'Inappropriate' Messages With Minor: 'I'm No Fucking Predator Or Pedophile'
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

When you act erratic like that, you got caught. If you were innocent of even intention no long winded explanation of “they want me to disappear” would be necessary as the messages wouldnt even exist. The dildo of consequences has arrived for Guy Beahm.

Aurix,

The great thing with your logic is no matter what he does he is guilty for you anyways. Great logic.

4am,

Man, he admitted he was guilty.

Holyginz,

Dude, he said he was guilty. The fuck are you even trying to say.

Aurix,

It is the pedohile predator messages that get me, when we talk about text flirting with a 17 year old. That is just not the scale of an issue people blow it out to be. People are like a rape-murder case almost happened. It is beyond ridicolous.

Holyginz,

It actually is a big deal. You really need to take some time to think it through to understand that. Either that or you are a troll and I’m just wasting my time right now 🤷‍♂️

imPastaSyndrome,

Yeah it would’ve just been rape of a minor, can’t prove he wanted to murder her!

Aurix,

I can’t believe somebody would type this for serious. First the jump between talking over text to rape is quite a long line in between. It is like us two disagreeing and me murdering you. And rape means non-consensual sexual intercourse. And given the age of 17 years, even if they would have consented, it wouldn’t be rape, as the person has enough emotional and sexual maturity to understand what it means. Now, it might be not legal in some jurisdictions, but this is just beyond wild proving my point people just want to make shit up.

It’s called statutory rape. And he was married and 38 at the time. And he was also trying to meet this person at twitch con. And this is the same year of twitch con that he was caught cheating on his wife.

No amount of spin makes this OK. Please stop trying to justify pedophilia in defense of your favorite streamer. Sexting a minor is not ok, and the fact that even Beahm himself couldn’t spin this in a way that’s good for him should tell you something.

Aurix,

It wouldn’t qualify for that as depending on the country people can consent at that age. And we speak of a difference of a single year anyways. There is a reason people bring up marriage and age difference up instead, because it simply isn’t pedophilia. Current societal definition: “Psychiatric diagnostic criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13.”

DrJenkem,
@DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube avatar

The country is America dumbass. Age of consent is 18 in America. She was a minor, he was trying to solicit her at twitchcon. If you want to go the legal angle, that is a crime.

That’s not societal definition, that’s the clinical definition. But If you want to be pedantic, yes you are right. He’s actually an ephebophile, which is still detestable and is still illegal, still immoral, and still very fucking creepy.

Sexting a child is wrong. How is that hard for you to understand?

Are you a Doc fan? Are you a pedo/ephebophile? Libertarian? What’s going on here?

Aurix,

In over half of America it would have been legal as the age of consent is above 16 or 17. …wikipedia.org/…/Ages_of_consent_in_the_United_St…

This isn’t a child, it is almost an adult in the legal sense quite literally. Your entire point of a crime have taken place has just no ground to stand on.

There were inappropriate messages, but sexting wasn’t mentioned so far and I doubt the exact details will be known. A meeting in a public place like Twitch Con is better than some back alley.

Thanks to resorting to personal attacks, but I am bothered so much by this, because this situation makes shitty behavior as in cheating on his wife almost the same as actual rape and abuse cases. And that takes away resources in prevention and investigation where it is needed. I grew up with the Michael Jackson smear campaigns and social media just proliferated this type of abuse.

@DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube avatar

Twitch con was in California. And in the legal sense, almost an adult is a minor. So yes, this is a crime. And immoral. And worse than cheating. And yes, I’m ok with personally attacking pedos and those who defend them.

Also a lot of those states use age-gap/romeo and Juliet laws. In most states it’s illegal for a 38 year old man to solicit a minor.

Raped at twitch con is better than raped in an alley? Jesus fucking Christ.

I’m guessing libertarian and pedo, you probably don’t actually give a shit about Beahm.

Aurix,

How did you get fro meeting somebody to raping on Twitch Con. You have zero reasons to assume this situation. It isn’t pedophilia in any legal or moral sense.

@Chozo@fedia.io avatar

Again I ask, where did you come up with this age? From what I've seen, nobody has specified an age of the victim.

DrJenkem,
@DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube avatar

Very true. I’ve seen no info regarding the minor’s age, which honestly is probably a good thing. The victim’s identity should be protected.

wildcardology,

Hmmm it sounds like you have a 17 year old that you want to text.

DrJenkem,
@DrJenkem@lemmy.blugatch.tube avatar

He admitted to sexting a minor. How the fuck is he not guilty and why are you out here trying to defend pedophilia?

Balrog, do gaming w Division 2 Players Really Hate The New Shift To Seasonal Characters

Ubisoft just doesn’t know how to not to mess with a good thing.

LaserTurboShark69, do games w Report: Warner Bros. Execs Thought Suicide Squad Would Make A Ton Of Money Despite Development Woes

I was a big Arkham fan so I watched a whole playthrough.

I enjoyed watching all the cutscenes. Great voice acting and motion capture. Writing felt alright to me but the overall story was kinda lame and the ending was terribly unsatisfying due to the need for it to remain open ended. The gameplay seemed like it’d be fun for 3 or 4 missions.

Overall it looked like an average game weighed down by corporate bullshit, which was obvious from the previews.

Hyphlosion, do games w New FPS Built Using Doom Tech Is Better Than Most AAA Shooters

Most. But there’s a small problem: Us console peasants can’t play it yet. So… Yeah.

CaptKoala,

Should’ve got a PC, your loss.

JudahBenHur,

thanks for chiming in!

ILikeBoobies, (edited )

It’s on Windows if you’re one of those console peasants

Switch/PS can play the Linux version if you have that installed on them

Duamerthrax,

What exactly is your pc specs? The game has really low system requirements. It’s high compared to OG Doom, but low compared to what AAA means today.

edit: there’s a free demo, so you can just download that to try it out.

Hyphlosion,
@Hyphlosion@donphan.social avatar

My PC specs are 0. You might’ve missed the part where I said “console peasant.”

Duamerthrax,

I guess I also missed the part about being a phone peasant. Not having a gaming PC and not having ANY PC are different. Personally, I’d rather have a bargain bin PC to play indie titles then a console.

Hyphlosion,
@Hyphlosion@donphan.social avatar

@Duamerthrax I’d love to get me one of those raspberry pie mini consoles one of these times.

Duamerthrax,

The Odroid Go line is nice. Not raspberry pi, but a different ARM SoC.

loo, do games w Shadow of The Erdtree Will Be Elden Ring’s 'First And Last' DLC
@loo@lemmy.world avatar

I wish the way FromSoft makes DLCs would be the standard in the industry. I know their model doesn’t work for every genre of videogame, but I love that they actually put a lot of work into one or two DLCs and focus on a new game after releasing them. It doesn’t feel like they take a part out of the base game and sell it to you for extra cash. They never sell day one DLCs and usually the DLC is the best part of the game (at least for me). FromSoftware is the only company I preorder games from and I’ll happily preorder this DLC.

My observation since the very first Dead or Alive from the 90s: People having problems with bouncing boobs in games are more nasty than those who actually enjoy them.

Ephera, do gaming w Embracer CEO Is Full Of Excuses

I mean, as I understand, that was the purpose of that company. His customers were not the players, but rather investors. They wanted lots of companies to be acquired. And they were free to pull out their money, if that plan stopped working, which they did, which is why Embracer evaporated.

So, task failed successfully, I guess.

Delphia, do gaming w Nintendo Forcing Garry's Mod To Delete 20 Years' Worth Of Content

As the parent of a small child I wish I could boycott Nintendo.

drspod,

You could introduce your child to emulation :)

Delphia,

Another year or two…

Problem is that Nintendo for all their faults still make GREAT games for kids. And if adult pc gamers think they have it bad they should have a look at the predatory shitshow that is tablet games for the 5 and under market… its properly fucking ridiculous. At least Nintendo has the common decency to give me an amazing and full game for its eyewatering prices.

the indie space still has a ton of stuff. you lose the benefit of always having accessibility features and easy ui navigation depending on the game (although a ton of indie games have better modding and accessibility support than a lot of high budget games as of recently, just in case they come to be interested), but you still get to see a ton of different stuff.

  • Celeste
  • OneShot
  • Rythm Doctor
  • Terraria (has android ver.)
  • A Dance Of Fire And Ice (has android ver.)
  • MiniMetro (has android ver.)
  • ShatteredPixelDungeon (has android ver.)
  • StuntRally
  • Mindustry (has android ver.)
  • HyperRogue (has android ver.)
  • SuperMeatBoy
  • Don’t Starve
  • Undertale/Deltarune (have unofficial android ver.)
  • Sky Rogue
  • SuperTuxKart (has android ver.)

most of these without coming close to Nintendo’s approach to fan works, so i’d say you’re not going to lose much if you know the right places.

if you want games for Android, Mitch is a third-party access to itch.io, a game store where you can by the game and get the game straight into a zip file or what-have-you. no DRM, no questions asked. about half the games i mentioned are in there without the predatory behavior most of the time.

tkc,
@tkc@feddit.uk avatar

How many of those games are suitable for kids 5 and under really…?

Wilker,
@Wilker@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

i’d probably pick MiniMetro and simple rythm games like ADOFAI or Rythm Doctor to begin with, simple shapes and an obvious thing to learn to do.

MineTest (has android ver.) and StuntRally are pretty close to reach if you’re willing to be patient and teach them to explore an open space on their own or of their own (one is basically a sandbox engine like Garry’s Mod, the other has a map editor alongside the several open maps). takes a while to understand the UI of each but it’s possible to use.

Celeste is notoriously difficult regardless of age, as a platformer about climbing a mountain, but i’m sure they can grasp it (no pun intended).

non-game programs are also an option. i remember having my mom teach me to use MSPowerPoint which made me break and build a ton of things later on by the time i was 7, it was a mess, but i made that mess :3
try an art program like Pencil2D, Krita or InkScape, maybe something unrelated like LibreOffice Impress or KDE Marble, or a music program like MilkyTracker (has android ver.) and take your time to teach them to make a tune or a flipbook or navigate a map, i’m sure they’ll have fun with something like it too.

It’s a game about navigating the mission of publishing “all the news that’s fit to print” when your key demographic may not want to hear that news, or may want it softened or ideologically slanted for their comfort.

Yeah that’s not really what NYT editor Joseph Kahn or any of the other members of the Council of Foreign Relations are trying to do.

A_Very_Big_Fan, do gaming w Massive Pokémon Fan Game Site Taken Down Without Warning Via DMCA

Thank God it wasn’t PokeMMO. I feel like they don’t have long, though…

catloaf,

I’m confused as to how that one wasn’t shut down years ago, but others like this have been.

mnemonicmonkeys,

They tell all of their users that they must have a legitimate physical copy of Pokemon Firered, which is what PokeMMO was hacked from

charliegrahamm,

They are very clever in how they handle Nintendo IP. Firstly, you must bring your own legitimate copies of the necessary titles:

Fire red Black/white Heartgold/soulsilver Emerald Platinum

Then they don’t sell any Nintendo IP. Anything that is sold is either loosely based off Nintendo IP, or custom in-house design.

Granted, I’m still surprised it’s not been taken down somehow, but I’m over 1k hours into the game and I’m loving it.

ltxrtquq,

Have you heard of D&D Beyond? It’s already a subscription service, I’m not sure D&D is in the best hands as it is.

menemen,
@menemen@lemmy.world avatar

Dnd beyond as it is now is still very usable without a subscription. But yeah, this will probably change with the next edition.

It is really annoying. Dnd beyond is such a great product, but it will very likely be ruined by the business model soon.
