Jesus Christ, if true, what the holy incompetence.

    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?

    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

    Jesus Christ this is a more wholesome list of games played than I’ve seen in most children’s accounts. Deep Rock Galactic? I’m kinda believing that he actually wasn’t a lunatic right.

    I look like a deranged violent psychopath with play time comparisons.

    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 way

    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 play space truck sim. Sometimes you just wanna chill and press clunky buttons. Do some really low stakes slow shit. I’m old though.

        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.

          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.

          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.

    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.

        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.

        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?

            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.
