This is what zero ~~theory~~ hours of Disco Elysium does to a mfer

Should have played more Undertale ralsei-pout

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Deltarune is better anyway

[–] AshenWolf@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In that case, he has ZERO hours!

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

That's why he got caught in real life, the Mcdonalds employee was a Deltarunehead, he was a huge fan of Berdly berdly-actually

This is a fix. No way the hit was this well planned and executed but then he didn't dispose of the weapon and ID.

Also who takes their manifesto to McDonald's?

[–] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 62 points 1 week ago

it's burgerland where else would you take it? posting

Palestinian youth brushing up on their favorite lines from the Arabic translation of Mein Kampf.

If he’s mentally ill he might’ve just fixated on his plan for the ceo without thinking about how to live life on the run afterwards. Although carrying around his manifesto suggests he expected to be caught. It is a bit weird.

[–] xj9@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Unless it was on purpose for some reason? Hard to say. I wanted to see the video he allegedly posted, but it got pulled before I could download a copy.

[–] xiaohongshu@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably saw how much of a sensation he had become and decided to relish in it.

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Of all the explanations for "why he made such huge blunders now despite being competent before" I think this is the most likely. He saw the media circus, saw his 5 minutes of fame and tried to cash in, not realising that this makes him look like a dipshit instead of a hero.

Personally I think this guy is probably a patsy or scapegoat the NYPD picked up to make it look like they're doing something after this made them a laughing stock. It'll probably be revealed in 6-12 months when this finally goes to trial that there is 0 evidence this guy did it and the cops actually had no leads at all.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

patsy

the funniest outcome yet also very realistic

[–] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I posted this before learning he is some alt right weirdo so I dunno maybe he did want to get caught to make some bizarre point or is just terminally incapable of considering owning 1 (one) less gun to save his own life like most usamericans are.

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe it was his favorite tho

but if it was on purpose WHY DO IT THIS WAY!

Could have done the whole thing on facebook live if he wanted to get caught anyway

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

Did the video get posted? I saw someone here say it was set to go live in 2 days.

edit: I found the timer video, its not interesting but here it is if that's what you were looking for.

No Hitman?

[–] Murple_27@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago

This is the actual reason he got caught.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He was a G*mer. Wrap it up folks, we totally disown this goober.

[–] buh@hexbear.net 39 points 1 week ago (2 children)

on the contrary, this may be the way g*mers redeem themselves

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago

if this is the kind of direct action 4X players can get away with, wait until the map painters are unleashed

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@lemmy.today 23 points 1 week ago

Not even 1000 hours in a single game? Most casual of casuals.

[–] gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Imagine if this guy had a cast iron pan on his belt just for the PUBG reference.

[–] GaveUp@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago

What's his hours in League of Legends though

[–] edge@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Shortly after it went up, however, the channel and its associated videos—a second "part 2" video was set to go live at 6:45 pm ET—were deleted.

They really wanna suppress his manifesto, huh?

I hope he had other plans to get it out there.
