Unexpectedly he's confirmed inappropriately messaging them and the service used. The only thing he disagrees with is the semantics of describing it as sexting as nothing veered into being actually criminal (which was the general expectation I'd seen given this was settled privately).

That's the edited version- he quickly dropped "minor" from that Tweet, but it was caught before he changed it.

https://x.com/steinkobbe/status/1805667213200048309?t=qmkx10tQAMxK8PUOnvIzUQ&s=19

Meme of it that's more clear:

(Image removed from quote.)

Can't believe a dude who cheated on his wife and streamed from a public bathroom could be such a scumbag!

...Oh, wait.  :doge

Not saying I approve because messaging minors isnt on at all, but plenty of people cheat on their spouse and dont message minors.. dumbest correlation ever

The correlation here is that he's an established scumbag who has done other amoral shit.  I know you have a hard-on for the guy, but it's time to let go.

Allright buddy. I don't have a hard-on for the guy at all, I just think he is was entertaining and he lifted streaming itself to a new level at the time of PUBG and all that.

However amoral something is, and you are fine in your judgement of him, I won't be vilifying a man for cheating on his spouse.
Thats something that happens all the time, and not saying I am fine with that, but that doesn't make a person a scumbag in my eyes.

Messaging minors isn't cool tho, and I do condemn that.

But there isn't any correlation between people who cheat on their spouse and people who entertain sexual conversations with minors.

That’s random.

Some of those early Capcom 360 games still look great to me (on PC). Lost Planet, DMC4, Dead Rising.

I played some Lost Planet recently and it’s a shame the two sequels, or three with that anime 3DS thing, went in different directions.

Allright maybe he is a scumbag but that (cheating on spouse) doesn't automatically make you an entirely bad person in my eyes.
The minor shit, well yes that does.

I'm just saying you can fall in love with someone else and something can happen between two people in love
I'm not excusing it but doesnt make you a bad person

I highly doubt that's what happened here.  More likely scenario is scumbag groomed a fan and hooked up with her.  That's allegedly what he was trying to do with the 17 year-old, too.

Huh, did you ready any of those convo's she posted?

Zero crazy shit in there. Lmao

She even asked him if he asked around for partner stuff, and he says sorry they are full up.

She says im gonna send u sexy cosplay pics
All he said was ok where they at

Zero proof of actual indecency which im sure she would show if actually present.

She even deleted the post right after I scrolled through her messages where she initializes the convo.

Not going to bat here but this convo wasnt anything weird

I played this through to completion on PS2 in 2004, and again on 360 for all 200GS in 2013… man Xbox Live Arcade titles were stingy with their GS. Still have a soft spot for this game.

The sequel is NEVER going to happen.

I got all achievements on this in 2 days, streamed it, and my speedrun until my internet died literally at the end of the run. Super pissed

Its the definitive version of the game to me, runs perfectly fine on Xbox

Some OutRun love!  :cruise

It's called Outrun2006Tweaks and there a massive laundry list of improvements...
check it out:

https://github.com/emoose/OutRun2006Tweaks

Features
Gameplay:

120FPS+ support & built-in framelimiter, game can draw at any framerate while game uses 60FPS tickrate
Restored XInput rumble code from the Xbox release, allowing gear shifts/drifts/crashes/etc to give feedback
Xbox Series impulse triggers are supported and can be tweaked inside INI

Graphics:

UI can now scale to different aspect ratios without stretching (requires UIScalingMode = 1 in INI)
Game scene & UI textures can be dumped/replaced
Allows disabling vehicle LODs, reducing the ugly pop-in as they get closer
Fixed Z-buffer precision issues that caused heavy Z-fighting and distant object pop-in
Lens flare effect now loads from correct path without needing to change game files
Stage objects such as traffic cones now only disappear once they're actually off-screen
Fixes certain effects like engine backfiring which failed to appear when using controllers
Anisotropic filtering & transparency supersampling can be forced, greatly reducing aliasing around the edges of the track
Reflection rendering resolution can be increased from the default 128x128

Bugfixes:

Prevents save corruption bug when remapping controls with many dinput devices connected
Fixed C2C ranking scoreboards not updating on Steam and other releases due to faulty anti-piracy checks
Pegasus animation's clopping sound effect will now end correctly
Text related to the now-defunct online service can be hidden
Automatically disables DPI scaling on the game window to fix scaling issues

Enhancements:

Game can now run in borderless windowed mode; mouse cursor will now be hidden while game is active
Load times heavily reduced by disabling framelimiter/vsync during load screens
Music can now be loaded from uncompressed WAV or lossless FLAC files, if they exist with the same filename
Allows intro splash screens to be skipped
Music track can be changed mid-race via Q and E buttons, or Back/RS+Back on controller (CDSwitcher must be enabled in INI first)


All the above can be customized via the OutRun2006Tweaks.ini file.

FPS can be partially unlocked by increasing the FramerateLimit setting above 60 (or disabling it), with FramerateUnlockExperimental enabled.

This will then lock the games tickrate to 60FPS while draw-rate itself is unlocked, allowing game speed to stay consistent.

A new 3D Double Dragon coming by Arc System Works!

Quote
Arc System Works has announced a new 3D Double Dragon game for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu reveals. It will launch in 2025.

According to the magazine, the new game faithfully reproduces the thrill of old school side-scrolling action games, with updated controls and difficulty settings for the modern era, and utilizing Arc System Works’ fighting game development experience. Jimmy Lee, Billy Lee, Roper, Abobo, and more will appear in stylish 3D.



https://www.gematsu.com/2024/07/double-dragon-revive-announced-for-ps5-xbox-series-ps4-xbox-one-and-pc

Weird to me is that it looks oddly similar to the new Streets of Rage Sega revealed last year.  But hell, I'll take a 3D beat'em up renaissance.  Still waiting for the Final Fight Remake from the big Capcom leak.

Eh i ran a virus check and theres no malware or anything in there. Its not something you install, its just a map with the files inside it already
But ofcourse stuff like this is always at your own risk

either way I dont mind checking things like this out, I didnt check out the Spiderman 2 pc stuff because it was just too big and sounded like it wasnt even done.

The site I got it from removed it due to a request of the rightholder. I dont really think its circulating the web in a big way, so it'll still get a shitton of sales.

The reason I wanted to buy it it seems like a cooler version of Helldivers 2 imo.

Crystal Dynamics finally abandoned their own internal engine, so I imagine this is just using some map assets and re-creating the game in UE5.

Lots of people calling for a new Soul Reaver game for years now. If enough people buy this, it may happen.

Unless there’s an unforeseen screw up, this is hitting most of what I wanted out of one of these. 3.7” 4:3 960p screen, controls in the right places, grips. Should have enough power to handle all the 4:3 systems (Xbox excluded).

This thing looks about exactly what I've been wanting out of one of these too.  Hope it's not too pricey.
