It would appear that the old dude that was arrested because they thought he was the shooter deliberately tried to turn himself in so that the actual shooter could get away. He had CP on his phone. Classy.

Utah v Tyler Robinson LIVE

First court appearance.
Intent is to seek the death penalty.

@slipgate oh, forgot to mention something. you can tell from the footage that there is a health bar. your health only regenerates after a while and only up to a certain point, the only way to recover HP other than that is to have health kits which you can equip as gear or buy with points gained from kills/captures/etc.

you can customize your helmet, chest armor, and leg armor. the different gear will give you different values, so some might give you more health but less speed, stuff like that. the customization went hard.

there were even different bullet types that would do stuff like lower your accuracy but poison an opponent or catch them on fire. the fire rounds were awesome for the mechs since they were weak to fire damage. toxic rounds did less damage on the initial hit but did slightly more damage over time, so it was a gamble with whether or not someone could get a health kit before dying. awesome stuff.

@slipgate Gameplay: high TTK with actually impactful headshots. tons of different weapons which actually felt like completely different guns with a high level of customization for them as well as the rest of the gear. mech suits that you could call down from the sky to hop in. AI you could summon to help you. most importantly, a wallhack on a timer that was a core part of the gameplay.

Aesthetic: the audio and visuals all have this unmistakable cyberpunk grunge feel. everything from the camos to the gear to the taunts to the titles all had this awesome, futuristic military dystopia vibe.

Monetization: the game was f2p and pretty much everything could be grinded out with in-game currency. they offered a relatively cheap, permanent doubler for that currency. instead of buying things outright, you could also rent them, meaning if you played the game enough you could keep all your gear rented consistently. renting also helped you decide whether you liked something or not, so you could choose if you wanted to spend in-game or real life money on it beforehand.

here's some awesome gameplay if you want to check out what it was like: youtube.com/watch?v=2Q8JxhG33K

My cop friend was telling us a bunch of stories the other day about how people completely fucked themselves over by talking to him, even after he read them their miranda rights. He was like, "guys seriously do NOT talk to cops" :meru_lul:

@sendpaws for BLRevive, you can use either the copy you got on Steam before the game was delisted, or get the game files using other methods. If you use the copy you got on Steam, it still tracks achievements, playtime, etc. So you can see when players have had an event on Steam Charts but that really only represents the people who got the game prior to 2019's PC shutdown. I'm not sure how much of the community has that.

@Mr_NutterButter my dumb ass can't stop thinking of a guy standing in a field with a murder of crows. I'm too silly for this shit.
