trahh

@SolidCouncil @PirateSoftware @offbrand_games this is such an out of touch perspective. piratesoftware is globablly known as a narcissist. did you not see when pirate went on a doctor's twitch stream where the doctor explained that he's a total narcissist? and he did nothing about it whatsoever lmao.

@PirateSoftware @offbrand_games I can't for the life of me understand why you have a horde of people following you around to bash your work. You have, like, a modern Mr. Rogers aura.

I am no longer working at @offbrand_games. People were attacking all of the games we were publishing and trying to mass review bomb them. You can dislike the things I say but this kind of behavior is unhinged. Learned a lot there, accomplished a lot, hope they succeed regardless. Love those dudes and loved working with them. Hope they keep cooking.

@PirateSoftware @offbrand_games ive never seen so many people rally against someone they dislike so much. same with the killing games petition, you likely got them 50%+ just from you being you. and yet you'll probably never reflect on any of this and just move on😂😭

@icmpressure also as someone who sold countless nfts/crypto back in the day, i know better than anyone that you are such an accurate representation of the crypto community. slimey greedy nasty individuals

DoorDash driver was utterly incompetent so I went off on her. I hate incompetence.

@icmpressure been on this site since 2009 and in almost 20 years YOU are easily the biggest douchebag ive ever encountered the amount of empathy one has to lack to hear someone crumbling and apologizing and offering you money and you unload even more. you are by all means just a shitty guy

@JohnBummit @KAIJU42 @kirawontmiss "great minds" and it's just two people recognizing the cosplay she's wearing😂😭

@KAIJU42 @kirawontmiss Great minds

wtf is Doja Cat wearing😭

@infinite_rik @Chotangar @jackvaniadev LOL don't act like you have any idea what they're talking about in this conversation

Been reading through all of the posts against me over my stance on the Stop Killing Games initiative. Tons of people calling me a liar or that I misrepresented the initiative. Also lots of content creators dogpiling on this to get their pound of flesh. Lets dig into what I actually did and said. I put out two videos on August 6th 2024 and August 7th 2024. These videos are linked at the bottom of this post. Many people have not watched them and are just calling me a liar or attacking my character. Give the videos a watch, read the initiative itself, make a conclusion that you aren't copy pasting from social media. Monetization on these videos is disabled so no this is not some ploy to increase revenue. I just care about this subject and have rightful concerns as a person working in this space. In the first video. I go through what an initiative is, how it's not law, and how it's a starting point for this entire process. This helps people understand that this is to start the conversation for change and can adapt later. I then go through the initiative and some of it's goals from the official page for it. I then talk about the repercussions of them should they be implemented. As written all games need to be left in a "Functional Playable State". Next I bring up The Crew and walk through the business around it, the sequels, and the size of the player-base at time of sunset. I did this because it was called out by this initiative as an example of publishers destroying a game. I also harshly critique Ross Scotts wording in his videos because they disparage the lawmaking process and lawmakers which doesn't benefit players or this movement in any way. In the second video. I talk about potential scenarios where a studio could be abused if the initiative was implemented as written. It adds new paths for abuse and that needs to be discussed to help hone this initiative into something that would do good without doing harm. I then explain that very few people in the game development space can actually discuss this from the other side due to fear of losing their jobs. A studio is much safer in silent dissent then they are discussing the drawbacks of your ideals. The recent attacks on our games is obvious evidence of this. To recap. My main issue with this initiative is that it is broad in it's approach to change the industry and the exact language of the initiative, not the FAQ, requests that all games stay in a "Functional Playable State". This is not feasible for all games at a technical level and could potentially restrict developers from making online-only games like MMOs, MOBAs, and User Generated Content games in the future. That list is not exhaustive and it doesn't matter if you do or don't like those kinds of games. Effectively this has the potential to restrict future developers from making kick-ass experiences because it locks a weight on their designs. Even though this is an initiative that can change in the future this goal is core to the mission and deeply disruptive so it needs to be called out. To clear up some disinformation about my character. I left AAA in 2016 because I fucking hate how the industry is now and prefer indie entirely. I don't like Blizzard or I would have stayed working there. That's why I quit. That's the entire point. Fuck AAA and what many studios have turned games into. Outside of that no I am not financially supported by live service games. I make a single player RPG and am the Director of Strategy for offbrand games. In that position I am paid MINIMUM WAGE by my own decision because I care about games succeeding not about profiting off of them. To further this the games we're publishing are all playable offline anyway because their gameplay loops are not only based on inter-player interaction. Not all games are like this and not all games can be like this. No, I have not been running away from discourse on this I talked about it for around 8 hours on stream yesterday. I never took my videos down and I have not discussed the initiative in the 10 months it's been since I released those videos. My internet also died mid-broadcast so I had to go live again 30 minutes later. Thanks ISP. For those that will scream HE'S DOUBLING DOWN. Yes I damn well am. I give a shit about this initiative and what it means for games, developers, and players in the future. To finish out. Just because I don't support this doesn't mean you should blindly follow me in that just because I said pretty words on the internet. You also shouldn't blindly bash me because some other creator said to. Watch the videos I put out, read the initiative, decide for yourself. Apply critical thinking and don't outsource it to others. As always. Stay Frosty. First Video: youtube.com/watch?v=ioqSvL… Second Video: youtube.com/watch?v=x3jMKe… Minimum Wage Proof: x.com/PirateSoftware…

@theanti631 @NotAklo an @ is an @ for a reason don’t back peddle now, mentioning a target by name means they might not see it that’s the whole point of the @ what a lame ass excuse 😂

@NotAklo Life is great, and @ can mean directly @'ing OR mentioning the target by name But you're in your feelings heavily right now, channel that energy into some Fox gameplay so you can MAYBE MAYBEEE do something relevant in Melee cuck

What mang0 did was objectively bad and quite disappointing. It's not excusable, and Mango said himself that he does not want people to defend his actions. Trying to do so actually makes things worse for everybody: the women harassed, the Smash Community, and even Mango! The women in these clips are clearly uncomfortable, and I'm sure that the clips circulating all over the internet doesn't exactly help in that regard. It has been less than two days. THERE HASN'T EVEN BEEN A SMASH EVENT YET, yet people online are already condemning the Smash Community for not acting properly in response to this situation. Somehow this has become about generalizing the Smash Community. I get it. Mango is a HUGE face of Smash. But I've seen numerous community figures and tournament organizers express their disapproval of what Mango did, and how there are going to be consequences (as should be expected). No one cares to comment "smash community sucks" on these posts. They would rather quote tweet shit takes from accounts with 3 followers who have never been to a Smash event, to get internet points by saying "smash community is fucked." Please ask yourself for once: Who is "the Smash Community"? If you argue that the guy with 3 followers who doesn't go to events is a part of the Smash Community, then what makes him different from you?? You comment on Smash related posts just as he does. You perceive him as a part of the Smash community yet deny yourself of that label? Get real. It's easy to see who truly cares about establishing safe spaces for women (and everyone). It is also easy to see when people pretend to care about the improvement of individuals and communities for the sake of standing on a false moral high ground.

@LifeAlix @squad_dew @Mr_RSmash lmfao he was right to block you my god

@squad_dew @Mr_RSmash Lmao he blocked me so I cannot answer but my main point as someone else said, was that I found it unsettling how he used his platform and spoke about politics only when he or his personal circle was directly affected and never when strangers were

Do not be mistaken. Iran fighting Israel doesn't make them heroes Iran is a politically corrupt religious dictatorship. They ignore the will of the people and rule through fear A large portion of the population, especially youth and women deeply oppose the regime. In fact most Iranians are happy about the precision strikes against their military leaders

@Chickenman400 just my 2 cents feel like the shirt doesnt represent u enough and as a supporter u want that type of merch also would be sick if u could find someone who would customize those phobs with some bobby falco art or smn

@KaneBlueriverCL @lariat_god this is an uncomfortable amount of health to leave a vergil with 4 bars with

@lariat_god If anything you leave him at pixel health and can just meaty level 1 him and repeat on incoming, if it doesn't kill there it's still a checkmate situation since you have meter

@Chickenman400 sadly the reality is most of those good players have zero sense for how to be a good streamer because they lack social skills, entertainment ability, or many other discipline based aspects that come with it

40 viewers in the entire SSBM category on twitch at 2:30 PM on a Monday afternoon. The current top streamer is Phillip the Ai bot. 😔 I miss when people who were good at the game would stream more often
