Hasan Piker has publicly called for people to murder us Government officials and is filing lawsuits for mean words?

Hasan Piker suing Scott Jennings for defamation is pure lawfare from someone who spends his days attacking America and then runs to the American legal system when he doesn’t like the criticism. Piker filed the suit Tuesday in DC. This is the same hypocrisy as preaching failed socialist ideology while getting rich off capitalism. Everything Piker says he’s against, he uses as a weapon. Piker’s complaint alleges that Jennings used a manipulated compilation of 2024 clips and a fabricated quote to falsely claim Piker was calling for the lynching of black Americans. Piker says the original remarks were sarcastic mockery of someone else’s views, not his own advocacy, and that Jennings knew or recklessly disregarded that. He’s seeking tens of millions in damages. Piker is a public figure. So is Jennings. That means Piker has to prove actual malice—that Jennings knew the characterization was false or acted with reckless disregard for the truth. Sharing a clip and commenting on it doesn’t automatically clear that bar. The complaint is Piker’s side. Whether the original remarks were sarcastic mockery or something else will get litigated, but the legal burden sits with Piker and it’s a high one. The case could still get narrowed or dismissed early. The damages demand is absurd on its face. Piker’s public reputation was already shaped by his own words—comments about America deserving 9/11, repeated anti-Israel and pro-Hamas rhetoric, and a long record of inflammatory statements. None of that required anyone else to invent material. He continues to make inflammatory statements, like he did at his Monday event with Ilhan Omar. Jennings is a commentator doing commentary. Piker is trying to turn disagreement and a disputed clip into a payday. That’s the move of someone who profits from the system he claims to oppose. The legal process will move slowly. The first real steps will be the judge assignment and whether Piker can show the actual-malice facts the law requires. None of that changes the basic point: Piker attacks America for a living and then uses America as a weapon when it suits him.

hey ted you seen this ?

There's no good reason to spend taxpayer dollars to track down people like this—who've lived here peacefully for decades, worked hard, started families—so we can send them to countries where they have no ties. It's cruelty for the sake of it, and it's not making us better off.

According to Polygon’s estimates, it would take $5 million to maintain a 50-person studio for two years leading up to the release of ME Universe. If everyone who signed the petition so far pays $80 for the game, @EA will receive $18,680,880. Come on, @EA, this is just a 5-day petition—sales will be even higher – #SaveMassEffect

Asmongold thinks everybody should be calling out QTCinderella mass striking channels, says she’s entering nuclear territory "On the internet..there's one commandment..thou shall not use copyright take downs for anything other than the most blatant of offenses..taking 1 or 2 minutes of somebody's stream..that's not reasonable..what she's really trying to do is shutdown anybody criticizing her, talking about her" "The moment you start using DMCAs to punish people..really really bad precedent..everybody should be actively calling out anybody who weaponizes DMCAs..for anything other than the most blatant of copyright offenses..but these are one minute clips..when you have people that try to weaponize the legal system to have accounts taken down, you enter into what I would consider nuclear territory..now you have an entire world where people are weaponizing..that is destructive to the entire ecosystem" "I think she should retract these..everybody should call it out..I think ppl should repost all of the clips..if she's going to do this, she will learn that the internet is not going to be silenced into not talking about some inconvenient or embarrassing clip"

Are we ready to have the conversation that corporate greed, publisher interference, and studio mismanagement is what killed Bioware. Not queer people, not women, not wokeness, or DEI hires, but instead Corpo greed, and declarations that all games must have a live service, because EA wanted every game to be a virtual money printer like FIFA/Madden Ultimate Team was.

600 years ago the Americas were in the Stone Age, Istanbul was still Constantinople, Spain still had Muslim kingdoms established there, the Poles were becoming one of the major European powers, Russia was under Mongol control. 600 years is enough for the board to look completely different, and that's even without modern social and technological development accelerating civilisational leaps. Utterly ridiculous for people to even suggest that a near apocalyptic event with the destruction of the Mass Relays wouldn't change the chessboard from what the player character knew in Mass Effect. I mean, just to put it into context. Within the original trilogy, humans go from discovering the Mass Relays, going to war against the Turians and taking over the Council in 26 years. (I do honestly think that's a ridiculously compressed timeline, I'd make it 50 years if I were writing it).

Romain Toutain revealed more about Mass Effect 5/Universe (this one really stings): ✨"The Shepard" was customizable and could do same moves in real combat as trailer ✨Everything in game was "stateful" ✨All choices from 1-3 taken into account ✨Called Universe so you could plug your saves together to create parallel universes (simplified explanation) but you could almost generate timelines similar to Zero Time ✨You could make decisions that might contradict things you've already done and so it would create plot "points" in the timeline ✨Missions didn't fail because you killed someone, paths would remain open (it worked well) ✨Absolute autonomy was the cornerstone of the game ✨No two players would experience the same thing, would have "experienced the same story but differently" ✨"EA never sells anything. they just shut things down and sit on their licenses" ✨Barman was a new race ✨Lore was incredible around new mass relays ✨"Billy" the hand thing might have generated tentacles ✨Was an idea for sharing your saves ✨He says it was fucking amazing it was an absolute banger and we would have loved it. The people at BioWare were brilliant FUCK Source - bsky.app/profile/loustica-lu…

More Mass Effect Universe detail. First, I'm fine with a flooded inbox of threats. Par for the course. Fine with being called a liar. Fine with being informed that I apparently wrote a woke Snow White novel (news to me)... What I'm not fine with is the insinuation that, after 600+ years, Batarians and Humans couldn't possibly find themselves in some kind of tumultuous alliance of circumstance. The Batarians were almost wiped out. Of the surviving major powers, humanity was their closest neighbour by proximity, and humanity had the Citadel parked above Earth. America dropped atomic bombs on Japan 81 years ago. Today, they're allies.. Humans and Batarians don't have to like each other. In fact, it's far more interesting if they don't. Imagine the banter, resentment and distrust that could come from an alliance built out of necessity rather than friendship. It's an alliance of scrappy, dirty survivors standing against the high-and-mighty Council races and the Geth. And, well... there's something shadowy going on behind the scenes causing the cold war. Calling Shepard a 'walking gun rack' wasn't intended as a negative. Shepard is a soldier. Built to kick down the door, take on armies, and get the job done. This new N7 agent is different. They need to be more precise. More surgical. Less 'kick down the front door' and more 'find another way inside.' I also want to reiterate that this was not a trailer intended for the public, it was one of many made for internal use. Meaning it was not as polished as it would have been, it would have used original music, and had some gameplay. Mass Effect Universe was being 'built for the fans' in that they were trying very hard to not make the same mistakes and focus on what we loved from the originals. I don't know if they would have been successful, but I do know that I was hopeful.
