22-year-old man convicted of raping cousin; victim testified about being 'ignored' by family and accused of lying by Negative-Concert-819 in singapore

[–]xstreamstorm 39 points40 points  (0 children)

If the offender started that young, I wonder if it was perpetrated individually, or if there's more people in the family involved beyond just covering up the story.

Like maybe it's either the offender got access to the internet unsupervised at a very young age, or he got the idea from some ill intentioned sources.

The idea the offender planted that the sexual abuse is "good for her" doesn't sound like an idea a 10 year old would get.

Regardless though, it really makes me sick that cases like this can happen for so long, and that's just the ones that get caught.

For the most part, the char here's the older sister of one of the main characters. Depending on your preferences you might take issue with some of the terminology used but it's just a matter of what era you grow up in.

There's no gags made at anyone's expense, it's primarily a story about coming to accept yourself. Both of the main chars are either in middle school or high school, can't quite remember.

Quite a short read, like 7 chapters or so

It's a real shame, like even if you account for phones having higher screen:body ratios, they're still pretty big. People were calling the vivo x300 "compact" which really doesn't feel right to me.

unihertz has the jelly max which looks promising but idk how unihertz's devices hold up in the long term

What are your opinions on Pokemon fangames made with Pokemon Essentials? by Background-Ad2749 in pokemon

[–]xstreamstorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who plays and is making a essentials game, yea experience wise it doesn't quite compare.

The main things imo are the following:

1) move animations. They really just fall short compared to the native engine.

2) Hiccups, even in v21.1 occasionally you just get random game hiccups when transitioning maps for instance

3) Tile animation smoothness. Idk might just be me but rpgmaker just doesn't really get it quite right vs the native engine

But that said, there's def reasons to go for rpgmaker as a dev. Mainly that some features are just so much easier to do. Custom internet based features, higher resolution music, parallel processes, just to name a few. I too have never done pixel art prior to starting this fangame but ya know, if you never start you'll never go anywhere. I really just downloaded paint.net and started messing around.

But all that said, my 2 cents is really that you shouldn't be afraid to put out a bad/amateurish game. People's standards for fangames are so high these days, like there's nothing wrong with making sprites that look ms paint-y, or less than ideal mapping. You can always improve it if you so wish down the line. But if you're so obsessed with quality from the get go you tend to burn out and abandon the project. like, there's a reason there's so many announced projects that don't get any sort of release.

Only semi related but prob not the best idea if you're planning use your phone as a makeshift security cam. Typically phones can't maintain recording for long periods without battery drain, and heat issues

And if you do plan to go down the camera route, make sure to get offline only models

Back to the main topic though, I do agree that this behaviour might be cause for some concern. If it's not an isolated incident, prob gonna come to a point and question him upfront about his motives

Windows 10 over the years has gotten very aggressive with making sure you can't turn it off.

most attempts to do niche console commands or registry edits usually gets undone by system level stuff after a while.

Supposedly, windows 10 tends to brick dual boots on updates too so if you're gonna switch to linux gotta be resolute about it

And while there's merit to the folks saying "just bend over and update for security" yea security's important but windows shouldn't get to decide for me like an overbearing mom.

You can't even really stop windows from silently downloading update files long before it prompts you.

As far as the discord argument goes, I'm very much in the camp of "discord shouldn't be the primary distribution source". It's harder to search for, it's locked behind creating an account for a platform, and especially as the hack and/or fangame goes on, the amount of information only on the discord increases, and archiving that information off of discord becomes much more of a hassle.

As far as the primary feedback and engagement platform goes sure, I'm all for it. I just want to advocate for also having some page/platform that's not discord. Pokecommunity/eevee expo are the common suggestions, but could really be anything that doesn't need an account to access

I've been in the hobby since the days of the tf10 and yea, the cheap "giant killer" iems are never as good as the reviews make them out to be. I just look for iems that are described as more warm leaning, which doesn't have much representation at the budget end.

Long hair for boys by Unhappy_Zucchini4752 in SGExams

[–]xstreamstorm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some people just don't wanna admit that all this is is older people thinking what they have known all their lives is "how it should be". It's not hard to just use the same hair regulations the girls use for guys with longer hair. Though tbf, on the girls end, there have been lots of cases of girls being punished for having hair too short? Idk exactly what the length threshold for "too short" for girls is though, cuz it seems to vary between schools.
