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.

    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Reason how I found Newgrounds: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/249365
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    https://tcrf.net/Pico_VS_Bear
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)
     +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.
  • a_username_that_is_cool @ a_username_that_is_cool:
    FNF was born from Game Jams
