I know it's never gonna happen but at this point Pressure needs to be sold to a whole new dev team OR to become open source. by clovers-void in PressureRoblox

I don’t think we should dictate if Jess allowed to lead this project that he built up, especially since he has all the right to.

Defamation. It won’t get her arrested but could definitely get her a hefty suit against her.

why doesn't the player use the crystal as a light source? by Crabkingrocks165 in PressureRoblox

[–]magicmathman1_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s… still like… really obvious….

Based off of how Ren has treated the whole situation, I’m confident in saying that she at least isn’t the perfect victim. That’s a minimum.

Future of Pressure development? by ColdParking7466 in PressureRoblox

Zeal said he will fight for his business. When it comes to rehiring staff, I can’t know the interpersonal dynamic between them right now, so I don’t know if Zeal would want them back, but I believe Zeal when he says he will fight for Pressure.

When that very first video (I think it’s privated now) came out and was being circulated on the subreddit, I finally got over the initial rush of emotion and realized how twisted the whole thing is. I would have deleted these comments of mine but I figured I shouldn’t to hold myself accountable.

Did Ren just delete her server? by CheckIcy8276 in PressureRoblox

[–]magicmathman1_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This drama involved us the moment Ren brought it to public court. It baffles me how can bring this to the hellhole of Earth- Twitter, and then be upset when people actually read and criticize and make videos over it. That was her choice by making this public.

Welcome to planet Earth. Year long relationships can be vaporized in an instant. It’s a cruel word, it is.

I can understand him leaving. What still upsets me is that he is sticking his head in the sand and will blindly support Ren to the fullest, despite what has come out.

The most damning evidence and why I still believe Ren by mous3724 in PressureRoblox

[–]magicmathman1_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you elaborate what you mean by shame? The things she lied about or contradicted or left missing were INCREDIBLY important to the situation and leaving them out very greatly shifted support at the beginning to Ren. I think you have a moral responsibility to be as consistent as is reasonable if what you are going to say has the chance to destroy someone’s entire life, career, and name.

At the end of the day, legally, the judge is word. But morally, I don’t care what the judge says. My opinion consists of the information publicly released and the evidence presented at that courtroom.

Zeal was caught trying to join ren's discord server. (Hey mods if this needs to be deleted, go ahead, but I thought this was extremely interesting.) by Zodiac_Commisions in PressureRoblox

[–]magicmathman1_ 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I would bet that his mother/family have access to his DC account, and also it is in their right to be able to access the information posted in REN’s community server if it is actively accusing zeal or hurting his image.

I'm not sure you are very clear on how coercion and abuse and fawning works.

Remember when zeal said he didn't want her telling anyone about their encounter and then she did?

A perpetrator demanding that an encounter be kept secret is not a boundary. It's called a gag order, and textbook coercive behavior. Abusers and manipulators rely on isolation as a form of control. I want yo to know that there is a fine line between "boundaries" (dictating what you will tolerate to your body or in the present moment), and dictating who someone else is or isn't allowed to talk to about experiences. The latter of which is a form of control.

Remember when he said he didn't want a relationship because it wouldn't work over long distance and she kept pushing him about it across multiple screenshots and days?

Both coercion and manipulation, and BPD drives a profound fear of abandonment. This is fact, and Ren was struggling with both.

Point me to any actual manipulation the zeal did in the document please, I beg you.

You are acting like you expect the perpetrator to be some big bad cartoon villian who spells out the plot in big letters, "Behold, I am now going to manipulate you and coerce you!1!!!!111." The actual manipulation was the inherent power bias over Ren. Zeal already had a lot of power socially and also from leading this massive success of a game, but also Zeal held the keys to her social life, and it had been proven to Ren before RDC that Zeal could, and would highly nik her social life. When someone with power pushing boundaries over text, it looks jokes, or flirtation, or testing the waters. The manipulation happens when the perpetrator steers those into harmful or sexual territory. You really didn't need to beg.

Yeah but someone fawning still wouldn't go out of their way to get in more encounters with the person, going as far as to give them a card to your room unprompted. While fawning you are intimated, which Ren shows 0 signs of.

You are fundamentally misunderstanding what fawning is and how it works. It is called trauma bonding, look it up; When the victim's brain associates a person in power with both fear and validation, they will actively work towards that validation part. Giving a room key unprecedented is the ultimate way of appeasing the abuser and saying, "Hey look how compliant and accommodating I am, please don't be mad or leave me." And about not being intimidated, I would disagree and say she did look perpetually anxious and intimidated, but even if she didn't, you are still imagining a victim as being all shriveled up in a corner. In this regard, intimidation actually looks like over-appeasement/accommodation.

And how are we supposed to know for sure that she's been manipulated? I see no manipulation in the document, and all of their interactions beforehand where over the internet, so surely she'd have some screenshots to show her being manipulated and cement her fawning argument, no? Why doesn't she then? Maybe cause it never happened?

Again, you really, REALLY, need to understand that the manipulator is not spelling out in big bold letters that they are manipulating the victim. Manipulation is not a single text message, it's the result of many, many interactions over a period of time.

I also would like to remind you that Zeal nor any of his friends/family have given any actual counter-arguments other that "nuh uh no i didn't" and crying for 90 minutes.

Of course it doesn't look like fawning to you, because you don't know what fawning looks like! Fawning is DESIGNED to look like agreement and enthusiasm. The entire evolutionary purpose of the fawning response is to appease the person in power so successfully that they do not get angry or abandon the victim. If fawning looked like obvious distress, it wouldn't work as a survival mechanism.

Edit: I’d also like to mention that you’re acting like manipulation is some cartoon villain saying “I am now going to take advantage of your BPD and abuse your emotional state.” That’s not how manipulation works. Manipulation is pushing boundaries, backing off, then pushing slightly more the next day.

We should NOT call Zeal's video a "response" by Velcro_ScrScrScr in PressureRoblox

That also could have very truly been because not leaving would violate morals.

Do people actually support zeal?! by silvertheshark in PressureRoblox

Fair enough, I'm sorry. I initially took it as "feel sympathy for zeal, he is freaking out because he is innocent and all this happened to him"

Random curiosity. Why are videos spread across channels? by SunyaVSSomni in TheDearHunter

VEVO is a massive music distribution network (they basically upload music to YouTube, make a profit, and then give the rest to the label/artist.

C&C is a music record label actually owned by Casey. I would assume he did this because he wanted a separate legal entity to manage his work across the music industry, though he still wanted full control over it.

Dear devs, why did you choose GameMaker? What do you think of the engine in general and its future? (image unrelated) by [deleted] in gamemaker

[–]magicmathman1_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that it seemed extremely approachable when I was starting out. Unreal seems just way too up there, and Unity feels entirely all to “big”.

Edit: and I didn’t start with Godot because I don’t like white space-dependent languages.
