it's rockstar syndrome, same as always. People who become famous for being good at something start to think of themselves as invincible. Combine that with minors specifically treating the rockstar like they are a god that could do no wrong, and any pedophilic tendencies are gonna worm their way out.
With online celebrities specifically, I think the unique circumstance is that people can go from unknown to world-famous in a relatively short span of time, and they haven't learned how to conduct themselves in that context in a way that they might if they achieved that fame more slowly. For a recently famous person like that, direct DM access to fans is a dangerous thing.
course not. he's an idiot that stumbled into a profitable gig, and then he let it slip through his kiddie-diddlin' little fingers.
they just can't help themselves from being weird
I got back into emulation recently with one of those handheld emulators (like Retroid, but a different brand). It's mind blowing to me to play old Gameboy or GBA games on there because it feels just like playing on the genuine article, except the screen is like 3x better and backlit and all that. Plus all the games are just right there at your fingertips!
I don't find myself using it as much as I should. I think retro games just don't interest me as much as modern ones. I think they are cool and worth playing, I just find it hard to let go of the conveniences of modern gaming.
before you ask: i was trying to spell them phonetically for screen readers. If that goes against accepted standards for alt-text, please let me know!
Eh, it made me laugh 🤷 and it spreads the word about the incoherent stuff coming out of Trump's mouth, because there's always an ignorant middle that doesn't watch debates or read the news.
i think the magic box is poisoning you
Cow Bees took me a second...I usually see "Beeple" more than anything else
okay i have to come back to this one later because it's longer than i thought, but if you came straight to the comments, know that this post definitely fits the sub
aha i respect your linux dedication. Steam Deck has been a renaissance for gaming on Linux!
i mean they've been doing refurbished consoles for multiple generations now, no? The only new thing is that they're selling them directly from Sony's site, rather than going through GameStop like they used to back in the day.
[alt text: an image of the "3D Saul Goodman" meme, which shows the face of the character Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad staring directly into the camera with a stoic expression. There is text overlaid that says, "Me watching my wife try and leave me due to my gasoline drinking addiction. But the car won't start (hmm I wonder why)".]
[alt text: text that says, "when your child inherits your character, and now you have a mini toxic version of yourself." Below the text is a photo of an adult cat and a kitten laying side-by-side. Both cats have the same fur coloring and both are making the same face, which looks somewhat like a human laughing expression but could also be a cat's hissing expression.]
[alt text: text that says, "When your girlfriend says, 'it's either me or runescape'". Below the text is a stock photo of a man and woman sitting next to each other on a couch and looking away from each other. Between them, there is a floating screenshot from the crafting menu in Runescape, and the cursor is highlighting the words, "Make X".]
[alt text: text that says, "when your friend is in an argument online and asks you for memes". Below the text is a screenshot from The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, where the shopkeeper Ulfberth War-Bear is looking at the player character and saying, "Looking to protect yourself, or deal some damage?"]
[alt text: a screenshot of a post from @pacific0101 on twitter, posted in 2018. The tweet text says, "they shut down the pizza hut part so now it's just a anarcho-kentucky-fried-chicken-taco-bell". Below the tweet is a photo of the restaurant sign, which was previously a flag-shaped sign with all three restaraunt logos side-by-side. It appears that the Pizza Hut logo was previously on the left side, but it has been removed. In its place is a blank red space, which is reminiscent of the original anarchism flag.]
[alt text: a semi-surreal meme image on a plain white background. Two characters from Dark Souls are saying, "My lord, we have absolutely ESSENTIAL lore information for the player. Should we make a cutscrene for it?". They are looking at Hidetaka Miyazaki, who has the From Software logo emblazoned over him, and he is replying, "NO...Put it in the description of a COOKBOOK". There are several cookbook item icons floating between the characters.]
[alt text: a photo of a semi trailer on a highway immediately after an accident. The trailer is flipped vertical, and leaning against a highway exit ramp sign. There are other cars on the road driving around the accident.]

[alt text: Text that says, "Vampires when they sip on your blood and catch extra strength Tylenol, at least two psychiatric meds, two cups of coffee, weed, and microplastics". Below the text is a photo of Idris Elba, who looks bewildered and is saying, "What the fuck?"]
