AndyLikesCandy, in Worst fear confirmed: You can't launch Modern Warfare 3 without first launching Modern Warfare 2

It’s okay to blacklist an entire publisher.

I haven’t bought any games from EA at all since 2013 and know I missed nothing because it’s all just reruns of the same game formula.

TheGalacticVoid,

Mirror’s Edge and It Takes Two are genuinely amazing

AndyLikesCandy,

It takes two looked great, but there are just so many games out there I still feel ok having missed it.

Mirrors edge was 2008.

TheGalacticVoid,

I mean CS:GO was 2012, and it only “died” a few months ago. Hell, Mario 64 was 1996, and it still has a huge following. Genuinely good games remain timeless

Edit: forgot about the part where you mentioned “since 2013,” so ignore my point

AndyLikesCandy,

CS:GO is a valve title not EA. I was specifically referring to EA.That aside…

CS:GO was only a repackaging of CS expansion which itself was a repackaging of CS half-life mod from 1998.

Sure 14 years later the graphics engine was a little updated and there were new maps, but I played a lot of the original and after installing CS:GO I was supremely underwhelmed by the lack of change.

threeduck,

It Takes Two too often borrowed from that “well that just happened!” school of comedy that I just couldn’t stand. Not all the time mind you, but enough to bother me.

midniter, in Worst fear confirmed: You can't launch Modern Warfare 3 without first launching Modern Warfare 2

On Steam there is a different entry for MW3, that is waiting to be unlocked for installing on November 10th. It doesn’t make too much sense that this different Steam Store game (with a different game id) will also open MW2’s CoD HQ. I’ll wait and see, maybe there will also be a way to open MW3 directly.

Viking_Hippie,

It doesn’t make too much sense

My point exactly 😄

midniter,

So with the last Steam update, the previous Call of Duty entry in Steam now launches into MW3 directly. To enter Warzone or MW2 multiplayer you will have to wait for it to start the MW2 process. It’s exactly how they did it with the MW3 beta and campaign, just viceversa, so to play MW3 MP and Warzone (starting in December) you won’t have to wait for game switching.

BigMacHole, in Man Gets 100 Years for Accidentally Killing His 8-Year-Old Daughter While Trying to Shoot His 18-Year-Old Son

Why didn’t the 8 year old have a gun to defend herself with? That’s the only thing that could have saved her life!

The people downvoting you are the same people that argue that if we arm more people, we can solve the gun problem. And each downvote is an acknowledgement that their argument is garbage.

anarchy79,

It’s the weather. The cause of gun violence is the weather. You learned it here first, folks. Weather = gun violence.

Or maybe it’s people that think this sort of rhetoric is tasteless when talking about an event where a kid died.

Yes, the man should never have had access to a firearm. But a child died for having the misfortune to be born to this sack of shit. That’s the takeaway here. Not some opportunity to try and stick it to the strawmen in your head.

These sort of “hot takes” are nothing more then mental masturbation, looking for validation from people who already share your own beliefs.

Seriously take a step back and think about the fact that you just built up some fucking narrative to place yourself as the hero against a horde of people lesser than yourself. That’s your response to this news.

You sure showed all the pro gun jackasses! They definitely are bothered by your post and absolutely seething! Whatever makes you feel like you’ve done the superior thing and that you think the right things to think.

Your views aren’t wrong, you’re just being a tool.

A child is dead, and you’re more invested in finding a way to feel superior to others than anything else. Fuck everything about that.

PersnickityPenguin,

This is incorrect : she was accidentally shot by a good guy with a gun, who missed and shot the wrong person.

FTFY

fmstrat, in Man Gets 100 Years for Accidentally Killing His 8-Year-Old Daughter While Trying to Shoot His 18-Year-Old Son

Let’s be real, he intended to shoot everyone. He’s dodging his intent to murder a child before being put in with inmates who will know that.

HappyPornDaze, in Man Gets 100 Years for Accidentally Killing His 8-Year-Old Daughter While Trying to Shoot His 18-Year-Old Son

Just kill him now. Why the fuck should anyone pay to let this piece of garbage breathe our air? Grenade him on TV.

HappyPornDaze,

Actually, it doesn’t look like this fat fuck can even breathe our air, but end him anyway.

Stanard,

As long as our military budget is measured in trillions of dollars I think we can afford to feed even this scumbag on the . 0000001% off-chance that he’s not guilty. It kind of sucks, don’t get me wrong, but IMHO the death penalty isn’t the answer. Not only do I feel like even one wrongful execution is far too many, I also feel like in some ways a quick and painless death is sort of going easy. I say make him live out the rest of his natural born life as a prisoner that will have this on his conscious, provided he has one, for the rest of his days.

vsh,

Let him suffer. I hope he’s semi-immortal and dies after 99.9 years served.

skozzii, in Man Gets 100 Years for Accidentally Killing His 8-Year-Old Daughter While Trying to Shoot His 18-Year-Old Son

Out shitty society created this situation. People need a secure place to live, and we need proper social securities in place.

And guns need to be regulated.

wildcardology, in Man Gets 100 Years for Accidentally Killing His 8-Year-Old Daughter While Trying to Shoot His 18-Year-Old Son

He’s supposed to be one of the “good guys” with a gun?

intensely_human,

No?

iegod,

It’s a rhetorical question. No one is.

grayman,

So if someone shot this man dead right before he murdered his child that person would not be a good guy with a gun?

Wogi,

The thing about “good guy with a gun” is fucking bullshit

Literally everyone with a gun is a good guy with a gun, right up until they aren’t. It’s an idiotic argument. The issue isn’t the people who aren’t shooting innocent people. The problem is the increasing number of people who are.

StalinistTransition,

that hypothetical person never fucking seems to exist you fucking moron

grayman,

Cops? According to the FBI it’s very common for citizens to stop criminals too. Literally hundreds of thousands of times every year.

Kecessa,

Source and how many of those wouldn’t happen if the money going to the gun industry went to education and social programs? What is the crime rate in the USA vs Canada where the culture is very similar but the number of guns much lower?

grayman,

youtu.be/Qog8rUENk80

NEVER EXISTS!

anarchy79,

Check mate, atheists.

anarchy79,

Oh, come on now, I’d think the allied forces on D-Day were good guys with guns.

@FatTony@lemmy.world avatar

Well he was definitely a guy with a gun. So he was at least half way there I think.

BeMoreCareful,

That’s two out of three!

anarchy79,

Those kids could easily grow up to be school shooters, so he’s really just a hero before his time.

Valez believed that two women had come to the house to evict him

Did 2 women come to the house? Was he just hallucinating? Was he on drugs? The story is not very clear.

anarchy79,

He shot one of his children while aiming for another of his children, story seems pretty straight-forward to me.

Meho_Nohome,
@Meho_Nohome@sh.itjust.works avatar

He believed 2 women had come to his door to evict him. Did 2 women come to the door? It just says he believed they did. Was he hallucinating? The story doesn’t explain that, which was my point.

drivepiler,

Is that pixel?

elbucho, in Man Gets 100 Years for Accidentally Killing His 8-Year-Old Daughter While Trying to Shoot His 18-Year-Old Son

So this article makes it seem like he’s got dementia and was under the spell of a delusion when shooting his partner & daughter. But it’s written so vaguely that it’s hard to know for sure. So I found another article that seems to be much more clear about what happened:

www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/…/ar-AA1jkw2q

TL;DR: 66-year-old man is in rough shape; has Hepatitis B, Emphysema, and COPD, and needs an oxygen tank. His partner (a much younger woman), their daughter together (8 years old), and his son from a previous marriage (18) all came to his house. The article doesn’t say what happened in the conversation, but he apparently became enraged thinking they were trying to get him out of the house. My guess is that they were trying to get him to go into a care facility due to his many, many ailments.

Dude saw red, grabbed a gun, and started blasting. Shot his partner, then tried shooting his son, missed, and hit his 8-year-old daughter in the back as she was running away from him.

So it sounds much less like dementia (though that could still very well be a factor), and more like a miserable piece of shit reaching for a gun first to solve all of his problems.

clutch,

Paradoxically he ended up in a sort of care facility. Some “care” but maybe not the care he needed

kraftpudding,

Honestly, the facto that he could have had dementia and still could access a gun is not really the better option, is it?

elbucho,

I’m not saying it’s better or worse, just that it would be a different story. Dementia changes people. My grandmother went through it; she was an incredibly sweet person before Alzheimer’s, and then once she started sunsetting, she became vindictive and paranoid. Thought people were plotting against her or trying to poison her.

I posted this update because the original article was really badly written, and it was hard to figure out what actually happened.

Waraugh,

I think a lot of people commenting have been fortunate enough to not have a loved one, or even someone they are close to succumb to these ailments. I’ve had a relative and two older ladies I grew up with pass away as completely different people than they were during the 30+ years I knew them. The hatred, vitriol, unhinged, and unprompted behavior was gut wrenching. Their sadly wasn’t much of a support system other than what they could get with Medicare and the community of people that only stuck around due to who they were rather than what they had become. It rocked my world and was life changing on my outlook on a great number of things to see in person how the most loving, sweet, caring people I could ever imagine knowing turn into monsters. Two of these women would start baking cookies for us kids growing up if we stopped by unannounced and loved nothing more than an unprompted visit turned to an evening of cards. Their last 3-5 years of life was not who they were, it was a disease, and it was scary.

stolid_agnostic,

It can be both, though. He could be a sack of shit who is now going through dementia.

anarchy79,

I mean, of course it’s related to mental health, no psychopathic idiot has ever owned a gun and misused it.

Okay, that’s a red flag. Someone check his hard drive.

Tolookah,

I think his son checks it often.

…Wait, were you intending innuendo or not?

pete_the_cat,

50,000 files of drag queens and transgender porn show up

Fuck_u_spez_,

If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.

Cue random VPN sponsor

evidences,

Nah this stuff is full on spyware having a VPN wouldn’t stop it from triggering. This is the software Josh Sugar had installed on his PC turns out partitioning the hard drive and installing another OS will get around it.

someguy3, in Mike Johnson Admits He and His Son Monitor Each Other's Porn Intake in Resurfaced Video

It must be that software that you install that lets your “accountability buddy” check your browsing activity.

Orbituary,
@Orbituary@lemmy.world avatar

It literally says that in the article.

someguy3,

Who reads articles? Speculation from headlines is much more fun.

Delphia, in Mike Johnson Admits He and His Son Monitor Each Other's Porn Intake in Resurfaced Video

Its really creepy and intrusive. But at the same time, I can find really fucked up porn with literally zero effort.

I mean, if your kid has terrabytes of rough incest bdsm porn people will ask why you werent monitoring their internet use, but monitoring them like this feels like a different kind of weird.

gibmiser,

Shit, if your kid has terabytes of train videos you need to intervene. Terabytes of any specific thing and… son we need to talk

Delphia,

Thats what I mean, how do you know unless you’re either using this shit or searching the HDD. I was a kid back when porn was Jpgs traded on floppy disks or grainy 480x320 10 second realplayer clips.

skooks,

Why did that make me feel so nostalgic?

Delphia,

Because if you’re as old as I am nost of the ladies in those images and videos are now retired… like OAP retired.

skooks,

Keep talking…

Fal,
@Fal@yiffit.net avatar

He’s taking about his kid monitoring him as well.

Delphia,

Lets be real here, the “Kid” is 17.

Now I dont know what a healthy father/son relationship looks like because I never had one but it seems to me that knowing “Dad likes blondes with big tits” might be slightly less scarring than being left entirely to your own devices with no oversight and going down a rabbit hole of xvideos fetish porn.

Theres 2 kinds of men in the world. Those that have beaten their dick, and fucking liars. Maybe this shit is weird and creepy, and maybe they have had honest and open discussions about sex and he is trying to give his son healthy attitudes towards it.

Huxleywaswrite,

If the knowledge was only dad’s preferences in women, sure, mostly harmless. The damaging part of this would be the villianification sexual desire. You’re telling someone that a normal part of having a body is wrong and you should feel shame for it. You’re also thrusting the responsibility for the parent’s impulses onto a minor.

I’m also not naive enough to believe that they had any serious, healthy discussions about sexual urges beforehand. This is the right, its just indoctrinating them onto the shame and guilt spiral as soon as possible.

Melpomene,
@Melpomene@kbin.social avatar

This guy's only experience with healthy attitudes toward sex is when he's attempting to ban healthy attitudes toward sex.

gaiussabinus, in Mike Johnson Admits He and His Son Monitor Each Other's Porn Intake in Resurfaced Video

Isn’t this the kind of thing TOR and a private browsing session was made for? Additionally this is just bizarre.

lolola,

Maybe it’s a way to make sure they don’t forget. Like “oh hey bro i saw u had some lewds in ur history make sure u go incognito next time” “Damn u right man good lookin out” fist bump
