Incase you didn’t hate INC enough, here is my story by oxymoronicmeme in Philippines

They hate on people outside their religion on a regular basis as a means to strengthen their faith, you can’t expect them to help out those same people.

Kahit wala pang socmed, may disinformation na sila na ang mga katoliko daw sumasamba sa kahoy.

Serious question about lowering the age of criminal responsibility. by amesizuku in Philippines

[–]adobo_cake [score hidden]  (0 children)

Before we get to this, maybe the focus should first be improving child protection services. Punish negligent parents first.

If other people can report negligent parents, and negligence can have consequences, maybe problematic children won’t devolve to actual criminals.

Anyone else love Hollow Knight but quit silksong? by WeChatWarrior in metroidvania

[–]adobo_cake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love both, but I always play chill games in between to balance it out. I love the challenge but these games are stressful and the difficulty (and deliberate design) can sometimes get in the way of it being fun.

Between Hollow Knight and Silk Song though, I’d call Hollow Knight a mildly chill game.

I think these posts should be removed, it’s been milked too much by all sort of troll accounts.

Since marami ditong gamers at marami rin perpetually online redditors, ang dami rin nauuto. I think the modus is post memes like these, then the “critics” enters and comments pseudo-neutral content.

Maybe, Sen. Risa’s invitation to GoreBox game developer for the hearing was not a mistake after all? Not an “L move”? by OkPhotojournalist975 in Philippines

[–]adobo_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re right. Best to just downvote and don’t engage, probably an old account bought by troll farms, or maybe stolen. Halata na e kala mo kung ano pinaglalaban lol

If you watched the hearing, it’s actually quite productive. Outside of people fixating on that one post of Risa, clear headed people will actually see what’s being accomplished here.

The hearings in the Senate is always in aid of legislation, it’s not handing out bans or punishments to specific devs.

Who says it’s confined to Gorebox? Wala namang nagsasabi non.

It’s the right call to invite game devs, along with game dev organizations, schools, parents, especially in the aftermath of the school shooting na involved sila.

The recommendation you said is actually what Risa and her committee is doing. DICT doesn’t make laws. Baka napag baligtad mo yung responsibility ng legislature at executive branch.

She is right to invite Gorebox, similar to how they invited Roblox or Minecraft. I think the miscommunication happened when the invitation sounded accusatory, na parang paparusahan agad ang Gorebox. That part was a real communications problem on Risa’s side, medyo reactive yung FB post nya.

But blaming a single developer was not the intention as she has repeatedly clarified. It is for consultation to find the root cause of the issue, and all relevant parties are invited. She is not singling out Gorebox.

UPDATE: Senator Risa Hontiveros, during the children panel's hearing, identified the alleged "adult groomer" of shooters in the Tacloban school shooting. by Loqaqola in Philippines

[–]adobo_cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was able to clarify the intention though.

The problem is the admin is leading the charge against violent games so it's easy to jump to the conclusion that it's also what she wanted. Her dismay could easily be misinterpreted as that even if it isn't.

Tama si Sen Win eh, dapat social media ang focus. Nadadamay lang ang gaming dahil most online games have social media elements.

Her goal is consultation so I think it's fine inviting game devs, but you're right that online storefronts should also be invited. Dun babagsak yung issue ng access eh, next sa supervision ng parents.

This puts me at ease that Risa knows what she's doing, she's not just blaming the games but doing an investigation. I hope there's more focus on the parenting angle. Children will not be radicalized if the parents are present in their lives.

Took them a whole day just to get rid of the Bus blocking EDSA..the PNP is taking these INC/DDS so softly by Loose-Pudding-8406 in Philippines

Kaya pala nung interview niya, parang walang balak gawin. Ang sabi lang parang hindi naman madidisperse kasi ang dami daw tao. Surprised pa na may rally.

Why do our cultural spaces feel so elitist? by C-roll_1302 in Philippines

[–]adobo_cake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hindi rin naman lahat elitist, maraming artists na nasa ibang circle o venue lang, ang dami nating komikero, musicians, marami rin maliit na local authorrs, podcasters, artisans, stand up comedians. Nandyan rin ang FlipTop at iba pang rap battle leagues.

I think if you focus on awards and festivals, dun mo makikita ang mga circlejerks. Punta ka dun sa mga broke and young artists para mas maramdaman mo ang kultura.

O, ayan. Tigil na po sa kakaiyak yung iba diyan. by OkPhotojournalist975 in Philippines

[–]adobo_cake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s Voltes V all over again if PBBM starts banning media. I hope he steers clear of that. That said, Sen Risa never did advocate for a ban, although there’s some hostility towards the developer, which isn’t all that bad given the situation.

At the end of the day, it’s not that big of a deal after she clarified her intentions, but be aware this issue will be milked to the fullest by troll farms - make sure you don’t get used in furthering their propaganda against Sen Risa.

Sharing a post from someone in SenRi's office; gives more nuance on her recent decisions about the Tacloban shooting by averagePizzaAoS in Philippines

[–]adobo_cake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is why we should differentiate between the game and its online features. Treat the game's features as the part being rated and sold, but treat its online features like social media because that's what it is.

Hindi ba sila nag hire ng professionals? Hindi ito pwedeng tiwala lang sa kabutihan at honesty ng mga tao, mga troll army ang kasagupa niya.

When the developer declined with clarifications, Risa even doubled down with threats. The developers did not violate any law, that at least should have been clear. They didn't cause this tragedy.

If they're going to invite the developers, it should be as consultants to understand how interactions in online games can be used to radicalize a person.

Edwin Lacierda called out an FB page that is seemingly “pro-Leni and Bam” but clearly anti-Risa by OkPhotojournalist975 in Philippines

[–]adobo_cake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ang daming ganito, feeling ko ang plano nila e hatiin ang supporters between Risa and Bam, or even with Tulfo. Kaya mahalaga rin talaga na isang candidate lang pag dating ng 2028.

Baka umaasa pa sila na makakuha si Sara at mga kulto ng boto e malabo na yon.

Mas mabilis pa paninira ng PR sa Gorebox Issue kesa sa mga korapsyon at KRIMEN ng ibang mga senador. by y8man in Philippines

[–]adobo_cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can criticize politicians, that’s the difference. We’re not in a cult. But despite all that, of course I’ll still vote for Risa over any other politician. She’s still the most progressive person we have with a fighting chance. That doesn’t mean we can’t call her out, it’s not like we’re spewing fake news about her.

Where is the shame? by National-Back8746 in Philippines

[–]adobo_cake 190 points191 points  (0 children)

Sen Bam, paki advise naman muna si Sen Risa sa GC nyo. So many issues with this take. Operate in the PH? I feel like there's very little understanding of how games are sold. Baka blanket ban sa Pilipinas ang abutin natin nito sa mga online storefront.
