Apparently the sentence for what he is charged with is 85 years in prison. Yet for some reason he allowed them to take him alive rather than going down fighting.

@nl255 Fuck me, EIGHTY-FIVE YEARS? Jeezus. They really aren't kidding around.
I'd definitely prefer suicide over effective life imprisonment, personally.

You are just talking or are you being seriously ? Think careful what you are going to say. And I want to ask a question: why do you prefer suicide over life imprisonment ?!

@azoreseuropa Nothing to do in prison, and if I were to face life imprisonment, I'd have seriously screwed up somewhere, done something irrevocable. I would not want to live with that guilt, doing nothing, rotting away in overcrowded prisons.

I totally agreed with you but I would rather regret for break the law for the rest of my life accepting in jail knowing that I shouldn't had done that in first place. I prefer to be alive and get through it for the rest of life change for the better. Suicide doesn't resolve it. It is horrible and a waste!

What you have to do is THINK! Don't break the law. That is not so hard isn't it ? :) I never understand those people breaking the law and regret after. They must have a size of pea brain!

There are quite a few laws out there, indeed most will not be able to say how many they are and you also have to ponder whether they are going to use laws from other locations*. You also have to question whether they are just laws and whether the charges brought against you are just.

*lawyers will tell you that as well


In this case I am dubious on some of the hacking charges but money laundering and possibly the paid for ROM stuff if it is about their little pay for access to our ROM site scheme at one point would make it a different matter.

As far as suicide. Can still live something of a life in jail but I can see why some would go in for it.

As far as 85 years then that is probably a theoretical if all the charges got max sentences and were sentenced to be served one after the other. Here some things might be pled down and sentences are unlikely to be that. Still probably going to be a fair chunk of time, especially if the ages of the people concerned are true, but I doubt 85 years is going to be anything like it. Haven't got through the full case yet but I would be fairly surprised if more than 10 years and utterly shocked if more than 15.

    @BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example

    And I also have my ps3

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
     +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
     +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it
