I’ve heard H1 and H3 have been decompiled and their modding communities have been popping off. Apparently some H3 64 player games have been run recently, and that’s just the tip of the iceburg. Really makes me want to get back into some crazy halo 3 custom lobbies

He’s kind of a pile, so I’d never support him by watching him, but he’s one of those where every few years I check in on the drama. The man has: Masturbated on stream Gotten a girl in a relationship to travel across the country to fuck him, without abandoning that relationship Got that girl to move in with him, at which point she dropped her old guy Declared bankruptcy, due to spending 5 figures a month on a pay to win mobile game Steadily alienated his viewers to the point that he does more begging for money than playing games. Last I heard, he was down to one whale of a paypig keeping him afloat.

This is the feet finder profit model. They’re extremely oversaturated with people who THINK they can make money selling feet pics, which are as much meme as not these days. That being the case, to post on feet finder, you must first pay a one time fee. The fact that it’s a fee and not a subscription or cut of your earnings is really the biggest giveaway

- Comment on 'Bioshock Review' - MandaloreGaming 1 month ago:
Completely agreed. Rapture WOULD AND SHOULD have collapsed under the weight of it’s own misguided ideals, that was kind of the entire point of the first game. It just really undermines that message fundamentally when instead
Tap for spoiler
an all knowing demigod comes to specifically fuck up your society on a whim.
I do also agree that, given the contradictions between 2 and infinite, we as players get to decide what the prime canon is. It’s kind of damaging to anything that might show up moving forward though unless a brave writer comes forward going “okay sure but fuck that, it didn’t happen”
- Comment on 'Bioshock Review' - MandaloreGaming 1 month ago:
Absolutely agreed on the “wouldn’t it be cool if…” But not thinking out style of design. That’s not terrible, but it’s better suited for something completely over the top like 40k, rather than a more grounded setting like bioshock. And yeah, they really did just nail the worst version of multiversal story, in the general sense.
We’re celebrating this victory!
Tap for spoiler
Even though the player character is a literal demigod that exists amongst all timelines and is deciding, based on relatively little, that she should abandon that power and die to save one person, at the cost of thousands.
- Comment on 'Bioshock Review' - MandaloreGaming 1 month ago:
Oh yeah also

Because Elizabeth causes the civil war and gives the ace in the hole to Fontaine, prompting the entire plot of Bioshock 1 by setting up Jack, and then she goes out of her way to save Sally, because she sees Jack will eventually save her and the other little sisters, once again undermining the original game’s other original message about player agency, that Jack starts with no agency but breaks free of his conditioning and gains that agency back to choose the ending, but actually, no, Jack was always destined to do things one way only and never had any agency. On top of that, really weird that Elizabeth decides that her own death is okay because Sally would eventually be safe, given that she condemned all of Rapture to death along the way.

You may recall that in the original, Ryan believes that Rapture can stand on it’s own ideals and grows increasingly paranoid that the only real threat for the society is outside interference, such as from the CIA destabilizing it. We see that these delusions are baseless and rapture collapses under the weight of its own misguided ideals. However, in Burial at Sea part 2, Elizabeth frees the imprisoned Fontaine, who had been presumed dead, attacked by Ryan’s forces for his increasingly rebellious behavior. This, in effect, means that Elizabeth is solely responsible for enabling radical revolutionaries to start the Rapture civil war, resulting in the collapse in the style of a CIA backed coup.
There’s a lot more, it decanonizes Bioshock 2 while being internally inconsistent with it’s own story telling in the same spaces, and the Daisy Fitzroy plotline doesn’t really make sense, in a way that cheapens that, as well.
- Comment on Whew, I better take a break 1 month ago:
Sex slaves human trafficked from Russia, land of a dictator he openly praises. I did a longer writeup elsewhere in this thread, but most of the details coke from the Behind the Bastards podcast episode on him
- Comment on Whew, I better take a break 1 month ago:
Alright let’s see what I can remember! Most of this is pulled from the Behind the Bastards podcast episode on him (great podcast about terrible people) and the rest is supplemented from wikipedia to refresh my memory.
It’s worth noting that, possibly due to Seagal’s mob ties, a lot of folks who have come to court with credible accusations have subsequently mysteriously withdrawn their accusations or otherwise failed to finalize their court cases.
First off, bro wants to fuck any woman he thinks he can lay hands on and has had consistent credible sexual assault accusations against him his entire career. Particularly noteworthy is that he worked REALLY HARD to try and get Ray Charles’ granddaughter alone in a room with him during an impromptu casting event at his home after meeting her at Ray’s funeral. Her dad, Ray jr, tagged along and prevented this initially, but she was hired as his assistant, and walked on day one after he explained what kind of “massages” he expected. This habit of sexual assault also applies to minors, to whom he has bragged, in adult life, to that it’s fine, because he has girlfriends their age (bro lies about anything and everything he thinks will make him sound good and cool though, so make of this what you will, on multiple levels)
His time as a cop was actually aired as a tv show: Steven Seagal: Lawman. As stated, he drove an army surplus tank through a home. He actually SHOT the 11 month old puppy afterwards, separately from the tank thing, in the same event.
As stated, he got his start through mob ties and, around the turn of the millenium, when he walked out of a mob funded film deal, was sued and threatened by a crime family over it. He subsequently narc’d on them and some arrests were made following his testimony on RICO act charges. Seagal would subsequently settle out of court. Everything I’ve heard about the man makes him sound like a cowardly bitch, so I’m assuming they bled him for millions.
He has a long record of deliberately hitting stunt performers during fight scenes, because of course he does. There is one story of him claiming, baselessly, that thanks to his aikido training he was immune to being choked out (???), so a stuntman indulged him in a bet and subsequently choked him out. I’ve heard a number of similarly amusing anecdotes about the man one might call instant karma on a variety of obviously bullshit lies, many of them involving stolen valor. The dude LOVES to pretend he was black ops, navy seal, whatever sounds good at the time (imagine why he started a film company to keep making movies about him actually being these things into his late age. Dude is a massive LARPer)
Dude owned two human trafficked Russian women for some time, keeping them as sex slaves. Iirc, this occurred during the time he was filming being a cop (it may have been before, one way or another, the accusations didn’t keep him off the force)
Speaking of Russia, dude is a huge fan of Putin (wild how the best people somehow consistently become friends with dictators) and has described him as “one of the great living world leaders” and endorsed invasions of Ukraine. He’s also cozied up to Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines and Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela
That’s all I can think of at the moment, but it’s been a good use of waking up in the middle of the night wide awake. There’s probably more I’m forgetting, though
- Comment on VR controls are the worst 1 month ago:
I mean, he did have a stint as a cop, during which time he killed some dogs with a tank
- Comment on Whew, I better take a break 1 month ago:
We’re gonna point out that Seagal is fat, lazy, and pathetic, but not his history of owning human slaves, killing dogs with a tank during his time as a cop, or mafia ties?
- Comment on 'Bioshock Review' - MandaloreGaming 1 month ago:
He promises a subsequent Bioshock 2 review, but I really hope he makes it to the Infinite DLC. Without spoiling anything, that dlc fully undermines the entire message of Bioshock 1 and leaves Andrew Ryan 100% correct and justified in all of his actions.
