CMLVI

I can’t yet. I mod two functionally dead mags that I’m trying to keep going. It’s just small populations, and from Reddit, it seemed either no one jumped over OR they just don’t care enough to find the community here. One did well to have 1 post a day in Reddit that wasn’t spam. The other was pretty active, but it’s a niche game so.

When it comes out, I’ll probably wait until cross-mod comes out. Or I’ll just keep an eye on it from Lemmy and mod from kbin as needed.

Oh fuck. If Boost shows up for Lemmy, I may have to join Lemmy instead…I fuck with Boost HARD

There is further conversation with another user below this, but that isn’t the case in some places, namely Virginia.

Additionally, statutory rape isn’t just bound to age of consent. There are myriad other statutes it can apply through, namely family, age difference, and positions of power over minors above the age of consent.

I don’t think that tracks; I’ve always been under the impression that age of consent was just when you could consent to sexual activity. It didn’t account for age differences, power dynamics, or other factors that push it towards statutory rape. It was “at this age, they are able to consent to activity”, and then you would have the limiting factors of age difference, power imbalance, family, etc applied through other statutes.

I very well could be wrong or just applying knowledge of my own local area to places that don’t operate that way, so I’ll bow out on that. I do know that age of consent isn’t just a blanket shield against statutory rape in some locales or situations, though. The “statutory” part of statutory rape isn’t limited to only age of consent.

Take it up with Virginia; age of consent there is 15. Intercourse with a minor above 15 as an adult can still give you statutory rape charges, as referenced here: “The age of consent for intercourse is 15 years old in Virginia; however, there are other sex acts that set the age at 18. These acts include cunnilingus, fellatio, and anal intercourse, which means that minors cannot legally consent to certain sexual activity. Additionally, if you are an adult and have sex with a person under 18 years of age, you may be prosecuted for statutory rape. Statutory rape is generally charged as a Class 4 Felony, but the exact charge and penalties will depend on all the factors and ages involved.”

It isn’t always the case, generally age of consent precludes it, but not always. Age of consent isn’t a get out of jail free card. Additionally, it doesn’t specify about relations between people in positions of power.

It’s all moot anyway, Roiland lives in CA, and he was inviting a 17 year old to his house in Los Angeles. Age of consent there is 18. Did he assault her? No, but what 36 year old man is inviting a 17 year old to his house? Multiple other reports of girls at 18, still in high school, also receiving advances from him.

Any number of reasons. Trials of a public figure will forever brand you as “that person who was raped by X”. Not to mention the incredible imbalance in legal resources of a regular person vs Justin Roiland.

I think you’re missing the double negative I used. Lol I’m saying that even if someone is above the age of consent, statutory rape is still an applicable charge.

Statutory rape at best, and pedophilia/rape or SA at worst.

He lives in California. You’re citing wiki articles about age of consent laws in other states when the only states law that matters is where he resides and where the assaults allegedly took place. Allegations seem to mostly or all take place in California. Showing the age of consent and statutory rape laws of Ohio mean nothing in CA.

In CA, age of consent is 18. Some of the women and people were 16. So he is a pedophile.

Lmao age of consent laws don’t mean it isn’t statutory rape.

Apparently I’m going to be a bit of a dissenting opinion, but I think they’re interesting as an option. The appeal of “as-stock-as-possible” Android on a mid-high range phone is where I land in what I want. It’s why I had a 1+ 5T and now a 1+ 8Pro, but continued software and OS issues with their version of Android and just continued price climbing and parity with the shitty OPPO OS they are using has me searching elsewhere.

I left Samsung with the…Galaxy S3? I think? And have had no will to return to their bullshit. I had an LG Nexus 5x that bricked itself, which isn’t a glowing review of the brand in my eyes. Pixel is the next closest competitor, but I don’t care for camera power, so it’s large selling point is way down on my priority list. Nothing is as good an option as any for what I am usually looking for, tho I may wait for this cycle to complete and see what Phone 3 looks like.

This also ignores that shouting at someone in no way infringes on their ability to speak. It’s just something they don’t like to happen. Ironically, much like women going to abortion clinics and getting shouted down and harassed, simply based on their religious belief that abortion is wrong. But whew, let’s not apply logic to their beliefs…

It’s only 1.5k/hr more, so short term gains are marginal. But over the course of the skill, you can expect to save roughly 30 hours.

(This is literally all made up, but you have so many extra toes, just try it out) ((Also ignore that they added a tired mechanic so you can’t AFK mine it anymore, that’ll get reverted. You wanna be ready for when it comes back, detach that sucker))

I thought so! There are a lot of little quirks with travel. Usually I get scanned by the Feds landing at New Atlantis, other times I don’t. Sometimes I can jump straight to surface other times I need to go from orbit. Just little things I haven’t paid attention to so I can’t say definitively what the criteria is. But, jumping from the scanner is a way nicer way to do it. I just got in the ha it of traveling from the quest menu because I can go from planet surface -> new system -> planet surface with one action (usually).

I mean, I get where you’re coming from. But this didn’t start with Starfield, and Sony has a great track record of even more restrictive platforming than Xbox does. Microsoft games are now usually accompanied by some kind of PC access.

Not an excuse, but expecting Microsoft to extend an olive branch of non-exclusivity to Sony when they have historically been incredibly averse to it themselves is not really a realistic expectation.

One of the hidden elements of travel is the scanner; if you travel within a system and can “target” the location via quest marker or the like, you can just travel to it from the pilot seat and land at the location, no menu needed.

I think there are other caveats, but the number of “different” ways travel can occur makes it hard for me to keep the details straight. It may just be within system, you may be able to grav jump. You may need to have a quest marker there so it “displays” the planet surface location, or you may be able to select from a few “local” options. I just can’t remember what the restrictions are to that method off the top of my head lol

I only know of it from memes about it’s development, but I would agree from what I know. Scope creep seems to be a thing there. Ambitions are great, until they get in the way of every other aspect of the game lol

If it’s just a glorified tech demo, then it doesn’t seem like it’s able to be compared to a released and completed game? Unless the designation of tech demo means something I’m not aware of.

I would have agreed 4 years ago, but idk about now. They’ve been increasingly “Oppo-fied” and I’m having more issues with my 8 Pro now on A14 than I did on A11. Camera apps not working, different keyboard issues, constant Bluetooth disconnects, apps opening and then insta-closing. It’s frustrating AF.

They have a tiered system where important NPCs can’t die until conditions are satisfied, wonder if the condition to die was satisfied but dialog still got delivered?

It takes 4 minutes to craft like 30 storage containers and the piece to move stuff off your ship easily.

Every single Bethesda game since at least Daggerfall has had carry weight. This isn’t a new concept within Bethesda games. If you are hoarding crafting materials, why not…use them to craft things so you can hoard more?
