Jesus Christ, if true, what the holy incompetence.
and a gobsmacking negative review of Sea of Thieves despite that 2,000 hours of playtime.
Oh damn, he’s one of those people… Sounds like the worst charge so far
I am more concerned that he logged like 3 work weeks worth of time playing “power washing simulator”
People under capitalism are so alienated from their work that they escape to something as mundane as Power Washing Simulator. Having a stable job with a modicum of satisfaction and control is a power fantasy nowadays.
People spend hundreds of hours driving transport truck simulations in traffic.
Work in HVAC, I go home and play project zomboid. My fantasy is that everyone stops needing me and I can stay inside on a Tuesday and just read and eat sphaghetti straight out of the can.
I bet your room is the perfect room temperature.
That’s particular simulator game actually has you saving the world from some sort of Alien UFO time traveler conspiracy plot though doesn’t it? It’s not quite as mundane as some other simulator games like farming or truck driving sims.
I play space truck sim. Sometimes you just wanna chill and press clunky buttons. Do some really low stakes slow shit. I’m old though.
It’s such a nice game to just chill and talk to friends
The fuckheads in office are searching for stuff they can blame. It’s couldn’t possibly because he was a right wing nutjob. Oh no it must be video games! Time to start cracking down on that now!
Dumb fucks…
right-wing nutjob
Didn’t he directly criticize Kirk as being hateful shortly before the shooting? Where’s this coming from?
Agreed that Steam is a really stupid place to be looking for anything of substance.
Well, maybe the fact that he left a negative review for a game he has over 2000 hours in signifies derangement on some level, if not political, lol.
Didn’t he directly criticize Kirk as being hateful shortly before the shooting? Where’s this coming from?
He was an active groyper.
The Groyper War began in the fall of 2019, when Fuentes and his followers launched a social media campaign targeting Turning Point USA’s “Culture War” college tour, led by Charlie Kirk. Motivated by the firing of a Fuentes ally and other conflicts, Groypers disrupted college events by asking provocative questions on immigration, Israel, and LGBT rights to challenge mainstream conservative figures like Kirk, Donald Trump Jr., and Ben Shapiro, whom they labeled “Conservative Inc.” for deviating from their far-right views.
This is also why Ben Shapiro went into hiding shitting himself.
Groypers disrupted college events by asking provocative questions
This is pretty much the opposite of what Robinson did, so…what are you talking about?
Also, groypers didn’t criticize Kirk because he ‘spreads too much hate’—if anything, they think he’s not extreme enough. Another direct contradiction.
I think you’re believing what you want to believe, not what the evidence points to.
Do you mean those totally legit messages that totally didn’t sound like it was a mix of someone from the 60s and cop speak? Or did he criticize somewhere else?
You’re right, every piece of evidence that doesn’t confirm your biases must be fabricated.
There’s no other possibility.
My only bias in the situation is not trusting cops, espescially Trumps justice department and Patel’s FBI.
If you look for any information outside of what the administration says and what the news repeats, you will see many people believe it was fabricated. People who are the same age as him say it doesn’t read plausible, people on the far right say it doesn’t sound like anything they have read, leftists say it sounds like no kid they have come across, people who study linguistics say it doesn’t match someone his age and the writing cadence is weird, especially someone who spent as much time online as him.
It’s just super fishy, and I would be skeptical no matter who was in charge. I think a healthy dose of skepticism is important in today’s environment. We will find out more when this comes up in court.

I am telling you that there is proof video games effect people. Ever notice how most people born in the 80s grew up and all became plumbers? I mean sure all the competition has driven costs down for all of us and with just a little work you can find a plumber that will do the work for free, but a lot of these plumbers can no longer support their families and are forced to live in sewers and fight turtles for food.
all the trees are square now and I’m scared to go out at night.
affect.
You affect things. Things have an effect.
Lifehack: just use the word impact instead.
You’d probably want to use a colon instead of a comma there.
Thanks. I never really got a good grasp on colon usage or the more nefarious semicolon.
:( Ah, I didn’t mean to actually criticize you lol I was just running with the anal grammar nazi comment chain pattern. You’re good, a comma works fine enough.
This is the one rule I get wrong every time
also you effect an effect
Isn’t English great?
there is proof video games effect people
Holy shit they can give birth now?
The trick to using effect/affect is to use them interchangeably and at random, then you’re bound to be right sometime. Or panic and use “impact” instead, like a coward.
Or you only ever use one spelling, to the same effect… :p
Kinda what I do, I am dyslexic and if spell check says it’s good I tend to miss that it is the wrong spelling of the word.
It’s like scone and scone. I’ll swap pronunciation mid sentence, just to throw people.
you know what we should make our own variation on the pastry and pronounce it scuhn
And the turtle with the stick is super OP compared to the rest.
But all of them have trouble swimming around dams.
I think it’s probably his chat history they’re after
CK will get more investigation and concern than MLK…
you know steam has a messaging system don’t you
you don’t?
oh
jesus, people are fucking idiots
I’m sure he was messaging in there with Trotsky, AOC, a few drag queens and Vladimir Lenin.
people use that?
The most I’ve used it was too annoy my friend to join my game or let me join theirs, and I only used steam messaging because he was on “do not disturb” on discord but I assumed (correctly) that he forgot to change steam
It’s supposed to paint the “Games turn people violent” narrative, nothing else.
This dude could have 2000 hours on Animal Crossing and they’d still find a wayJesus Christ, if true, what the holy incompetence.
Nothing incompetent about it. Just evil this time.
They want a profile of the guy. They want to sell him as a left-wing extremist. They’ll outright lie about it if they have to–they mostly have already–but lies work better when they’re based on some level of truth.
it’s supposed to connect ‘steam’ with ‘extremism’ instead of something like Twitter, Truth, or Fox to coincide with their recent ‘fact finding mission’
Absolutely, here is RFK on Sept 10 saying they cause mass shootings. (Completely ignoring the ENTIRE WORLD OUTSIDE THE US)
https://www.newsweek.com/rfk-video-games-mass-shootings-gun-violence-2127808
Also Congress has called for the leaders of discord, steam, Reddit and twitch to come and testify about extremism.
I don’t see any of the social media heads who donated to Trump’s inaugural on that list.
Steam is very much connected to extremism. Far right extremisn to be precise.
Take a look at any Steam forum and you’ll see. The reason is because Valve hardly ever hires moderators and delegates responsibility to the developer who created the game the forum is about.
I think German speaking Steam has a total of two global (i.e. paid by Valve) moderators? Not sure where I’ve heard this though.
This actually true, even though I swear it didn’t used to be like that. There are sooo many far right people on the forums and in the discussions. I was looking up a game where one of the female characters has the option to date her female friend. I went to the discussion tab to see if anyone knew what choices you had to pick to unlock it. A whole bunch of trolls calling the game “woke” and disgusting for hating an OPTIONAL story arc. Even on games like Life is Strange, which isn’t a new game and is pretty well known for having lgbtq elements, tons of far right people gay-bashing in the discussions tab.
Yup. It’s utterly ridiculous.
I remember at least one steam group dedicated to determining the “woke” rating of games
That’s unexplainable textile mill fires. Steam is connected to unexplainable textile mill fires, not
autismshit video games.
I have about the same in Elite Dangerous. What does that mean?
o7
trying to paint them as a “leftist basement ghoul, that plays video games” it such a boomer assumption on thier part.
Steam said I have 173.9 hours in Hollow Knight. Then I clicked play, clicked abort launch, and now it says 16.1 hours. The in-game display, which is actually accurate, shows 30.7 hours.
It doesn’t count offline playtime (or at least it didn’t in the past). So most of my playtime for Half Life, Half Life 2, Celeste, Slime Rancher, and some others I played mostly while traveling is in invisible. Except people online say it’s still tracked for the refund policy lol. I suspect there might be a weird interaction with the case where the steam deck dies when a game is paused in sleep mode.
Anyways not really related to the post I just wanted to rant about this because the time tracker is weird and kind of annoying
I’m still not convinced that this was the guy. The FBI’s narrative doesn’t make any sense. Does anyone know a conspiracy theory community where I can go full tin foil hat?
People who play Powerwash Simulator are not to be trusted.
Especially if more than 100 hours
How DARE you! … I mean, you’re not wrong but…
Motivated by radical pirate ideology confirmed.
I blame Microsoft
Same.
I wish we lived in a time before videogames when there were no political assassinations or mass shootings.
/s <-- do I even need this?
Famous gamer John Wilkes Booth.
Brutus was way better at Halo
Not Fruit Ninja?
Lincoln ruined his killstreak and swatting wouldn’t be invented for three more years, by famous inventor Thomas “I made up the N word” Edison.
No no, you’re thinking of Charles Guiteau.
wouldnt those graphs look similar though, even if just by coincidence?
If you’re suggesting that political assassinations are more common in modern times, let me introduce you to the Life Details column of the List of Roman Emperors wiki page.
It seems they did need the /s …
I mean, not really, since even its inclusion was ignored XD
