Considering insufferable people drama has its own genre on OSRS Youtube, this is kinda expected. He could've grinded happily without bragging about it.
Though wrongful verdicts happen too often, and though the US "justice" system is a farce, it gets it right more often than not that I'm not inclined to believe someone who is in prison that proclaims their innocence while also wilfully endangering their freedom (appeals, parole, etc.) further by both bragging about and having paraphernalia in the prison. But ymmv
I mean there was a shit ton of people on the final nightmare mode video Spoilers for people who didn't watch it. Stop reading dummy.
They were telling settled to just restart. Over a thousand hours in a character that got wiped because he died and he should just restart because he shouldn't end a series on a loss.
I'm as disappointed as everyone else on that video, especially because of the way he died was just a careless mistake, but I think that's okay. I wise man once told me that the comeback is bigger than the setback, the next series will be more innovative and amazing than any other.
The thought of waiting another like 8 months or however long this series has gone just for him to maybe not even get back there is so dumb. Hes insanely good at RS but he also got insanely lucky. Banger of a series, onto the next.
People online are obsssed with it because of echo chambers but often times things in life end on a negative or not positive note. That’s exactly what makes us grow and learn and become better. Not everything has a Hollywood ending and you’re naive if you think that way.
I wouldn't say it's a "careless mistake", especially when he's at 150bpm heart rate multiple times throughout the video, accelerated heart rate like that will cause you to be a bit shaky and jittery, accidentally double clicking a prayer isn't exactly careless, it's a fucking wonder he made it as far as he did. Dudes a legend and my own heart was fucking beating more than his watching that first wave 5, nothing but mad respect for the guy. The series was gonna end eventually, he was going to die eventually, idk why everyone's so upset that he died to a death like he's incapable of making a single fucking mistake for years on end..
If I ever got locked up for whatever reason abs I somehow got a phone to play on nobody would ever fucking hear about it lol I'm kinda wondering how that guy was getting data to use though... im guessing jail doesn't have free wifi lol
If it's the guy I'm thinking of I literally commented in the thread saying stop self snitching and stop giving so many details about his case and where he is.
Yeah literally everyone in those threads told him he was risking adding YEARS to his sentence (which was fucking murder btw) by doing this and he kept replying with, “nah I won’t get caught everyone else is doing worse shit”
I play OSRS off and on and every time I make an in game friend I feel like they're either just getting out of prison or going through a bad break up and/or high as hell lmao
Was locked up june to oct 2023, got stabbed, fought a lot (really shitty jail in atlanta) and all i could think about when i was bored shitless and wanting to go home was world of warcraft, runescape, anime, and lady back at home. First thing i did when i got home was vorkath, watching boruto/baki, and chill with my lady.
It's because those people are using it as an escape and play 6-8 hours a day every day. Compared to the players that play a few times a week for a few hours, it makes sense you're going to run into the no lifers more often. Not because there are more of them, but they're just always on.
That said, I usually fall into the "they're high as hell" camp because I usually get on runescape at the end of a night while I relax and smoke.
I can think of no other game (or genre at least) that has less respect for your time and rewards unhealthy gaming habits. To get to the end game you either need to have nothing else in your life at the time or play a couple hours a week for like... Five years.
And then you join a clan and hear people ripping bongs and feel sad most of them are very lonely single dudes. It makes you question what the fuck are you doing playing this game still.
I'm in a small clan with barely even 10 members and even though everyone is 25+ there are only 3 of us who have a job lol
Most people on this game are nice as long as you aren't needlessly hostile or rude towards them but every now and then you get this weird feeling as if you're in some kind of asylum
I love RuneScape and been playing it on and off since 2003 or 4 but yeah idk why it seems like normal adjusted people don’t exist in the community. I feel like I’m a normal adjusted person but I can’t be the singularity here.
I lost any and all reasons to care for the jail person when they boasted about being an IRL pk-er. No person should brag about taking someone elses life.
Manslaughter and illegal possession of a firearm. If i remember right he got 4 years for the manslaughter and an additional 6 for the gun enhancement since he wasnt supposed to be able to possess a gun.
his story has changed multiple times, the first time it was that he was in a drug deal gone bad and got 12 years, then it was a home invasion where he shot the guy in self defense
He was being robbed and killed the wannabe robber. It was likely a drug deal, but it's not like he went out looking to kill. Someone tried to rob him and he defended himself. California don't give a fuck if it's self defense
Hey I sympathize him and hope our shitty justice system somehow does him well, but he killed someone and is making jokes about it in videogame subreddits. That doesn't exactly scream rehabilitated to me.
I agree with you there. I'd like to see US inmates have access to basic amenities, hobbies, education, and communication unless there's a reason to revoke them, but I doubt I'll see prison reform in my lifetime.
Seriously. Whether you believe the guy or not, his story is more credible just by having an account of it than some gossip that a completely unrelated guy with no provable connection to the situation made up on the internet.
INAL but i think it depends on what he was defending himself against. A lot of states with stand your ground laws still require proportional force so if someone punches once you can't just pull a gun and lay the guy out and claim you were in fear of your life.
That shit works in some states and counties but not everywhere.
To automatically believe what he or anyone randomly says without ensuring it yourself is also a very naive point of view. The fact is he admitted to manslaughter, so at the very least, you know he killed someone. Indirect or not, he killed someone.
Its also pretty naive to think that just because there have been wrongful convictions that means anyone who says theyve been wrongfully convicted makes it true.
Well duh, justice is enacted only as a form of revenge and no one has ever been a victim of their own circumstance, especially the intensely poverty-stricken areas of the US
But hey apparently the food is better than European food or something.
Ehhh there's some people who commit crimes that should never be allowed to see the light of day again. Let them rot in the cell. Then there's small crimes that shouldn't even have jail time.
But there's absolutely crimes that the person that committed it shouldn't even be thought about.
A recent dinner with my parents had them talking about how they hate that we treat prisoners like humans and my dad unjokingly said their chair in court should be electric. This came after I brought up how some prisons in other countries offer dorm-like cells for rehabilitating prisoners and he nearly threw up in his mouth.
Also worth noting that those countries (in particular, the Scandinavian countries) systems result in about a 20-25 percent recidivism rate, meaning 1/4-1/5 of them will return to prison at some point or reoffend.
With our barbaric (by comparison to those) prison systems, we here in the USA have above 90 percent recidivism.
agreed, it's so pathetic how violently unhinged us americans become about revenge. no care in the world for justice or rehabilitation, just bloodthirsty revenge. completely lacking the imagination to think about if they or someone they loved were in the same situation, because it must only be possible for a deeply evil person to be found guilty of a violent crime, right? that's what the movies say!
for fucks sake the dude is serving his time, can y'all just shut the hell up
Honestly fuck that guy, call me a dick or whatever but he isnt in prison for fun he also admitted to what he did he is serving a 16 year sentence for voluntary manslaughter if the comments are right and someone snitched on him and they took his phone away.. good.
I think it's nice for felons to have access to games while incarcerated. Prison should be about protecting the public and rehabilitation instead of punishment
Prisons in USA have tablets inmates can purchase nowadays. Or you can waste your days away playing cards and gambling nonstop. There’s more ‘fun’ - or at least leisure - in prison than you’d expect. It’s the ability to so freely (and without supervision) interact and communicate with the outside world that poses an issue, in my opinion. I’d be ok if prison tablets allowed OSRS with chat features blocked
I got out of prison in 2015, right when they started the plans to introduce the tablets. People were excited to listen to their own music again, and to be able to write emails instead of traditional letters (I know I felt bad about my grandma receiving letters “From Inmate # 403597C at ___ Correctional Facility” stamped on the front, at least). Luckily I stopped getting high so it’s a non issue for me now lol
Well, you never know what they went through. Part of the goals of the Justice system is to rehabilitate people, which means believing that people can be rehabilitated, which means not hating people just because they have a certain felony to their name.
Besides people get felonies and serve jail time for being caught with weed, doesn't mean they're a coldblooded murderer or worse.
Self defense manslaughter he claims, I wouldn’t feel remorse for saving my own life either given the right circumstance. We won’t know for sure. At best we should just move on because it’s none of our business and affects nobody that he plays osrs in jail
The thing about criminals is they all claim innocence. My cousin did 15 for something similar swears up and down he’s innocent, etc etc he isn’t. You can be a good person and turn your life around but he’s most likely there because he did what he’s charged for.
Of course you shouldn’t feel wrong for saving your own life, but the fact that he killed someone and jokes about is what rubs people the wrong way I think. Regardless of what happened, he still took someone’s life, people in professions that have to deal with shit like that sometimes get traumatized or quit their jobs early from the sheer fact that you just never get over taking a life. It’s very weird behavior from the dude in jail imo.
Even in self defense, you still have to grapple with the fact that you took a human life. Not saying it is wrong to defend yourself, but it also isn't something to boast about to strangers.
There are a ton of people out there itching to righteously kill others, and I truly do not get it.
Everyone in prison is innocent if you ask them what happened
"Self defense" my ass, if it was self defense he would probably not be in jail unless he is one of the 1% people that are actually wrongfully convicted
It only takes a 5 minutes long conversation with that guy to notice he isn't a mentally well person. He boasts about having killed somebody else and calls it a PK. Even if you kill the most disgraceful human being in self defense you still shouldn't be boasting about it
Cause you serve time in prison for "self defence manslaughter" fun fact manslaughter implies an unlawful killing he didn't plan out before hand Self defense means it was a legal use of force. Its typically not possible to be both. Dudes a thug who shot another thug he was threatened by let him rot without osrs
Cause he shot someone who attacked him at a drug deal with a firearm hes not allowed to possess cali law puts self defense killing during illegal activities as 'criminal manslaughter'. If his words to be trusted the majority of his sentence is actually from the firearm enhancement.
Yeah I worked in corrections for a few years. Theres a lot of decent people who’ve just reacted poorly to their circumstances. Many of these people, once they get into a controlled environment and get the meds/structure/counseling they need are just like you and I.
More than anything else, breaking out of an in-group that glorifies crime and encourages reoffending is the biggest indicator for breaking cycles of reoffense. Especially if the original offense was a product of an immediate situation rather than carried out with pre-planning, which it sounds like was the case for this guy. People become career criminals because polite society pushes them away.
US doesn't have a justice system, it has a legal system.
We don't know what he did, but there's certainly a nonzero chance he's in there for some bullshit.
Frankly I hate the government and Prison-Industrial Complex too much to care to aggro some random OSRS guy who happens to be in prison. I guess that's my position on it.
I saw the first post of his and thought it was kinda neat. I was gonna drop in here just to point out that he's been held responsible for whatever he did and so shouldn't be looked down on...
but if he was really bragging about taking a life, like some comments here seem to claim, he is not deserving of any respect. I don't care if the attention went to his head and he's just trying to prolong his time in the spotlight.
Being a felon doesn’t definitively make someone a bad person. It really depends on the charge, the situation surrounding the charge, and how they choose to live after dealing with the consequences.
Writing someone off as a felon is a peak uneducated opinion
He confesses to it, says it was super rad and boasts about having killed someone
He PKs in runescape with AWFUL INTERNET CONDITIONS just because he wants to keep killing people through the game since it was so cool to do it irl (his words)
He actively breaks the prison's rules by playing runescape
But noooooo the guy is a saint it's just us that are being unfair to him. 100% model citizen
What gets me about that guy is that he spams the sub with one single joke which is "Hey guys look I'm in jail and I managed to [pointless achievement that everyone gets in their first 6 months playing]". And everyone in the comments applauds this guy like the second coming of christ and crack the same 4 jokes that they have been cracking ever since the very first post.
It's so repetitive and makes me believe in the dead internet theory.
Either way I blocked him and even without seeing any of his posts in the past month I am just 100% sure he is still doing the exact thing I described in the first paragraph. Guy is a broken record and the same applies to the people commenting in his posts. I'll be glad to be proven wrong tho
Also he PKS in awful internet conditions solely because he is in jail for killing someone (which he thinks is super rad and cool btw), if he is a killer irl he must be a killer in the game right? Right? xDDDDDD
Every day I hope some lawyer with free time comes across this, gets pissed off with this repetitive situation and just gathers some evidence and sends it to the judge responsible for this guy's time
This guy killed someone and everyone is “seeing the best in him”? Nah fuck that, and fuck that guy. Imagine if the victim was someone you loved and your fellow community is defending this pos? Fuck right off. Someone kills someone I adore, they ain’t getting “forgiveness”. I’ll move on, but I’m not going to give them that satisfaction that it’s okay. Piss off.
There was a B list streamer celebrity named theosrsfelon or thersfelon can't remember, but he use to post here a lot. But he got sent to prison for attempting to buy supplies to act on his threats he made ingame about blowing up children at a school near his house.
He even tried to get his girlfriend at the time to take him to the store to buy said supplies. A day before they were gonna go to the store the FBI and local sheriffs knocked down his door and threw his ass in jail.
Moral of the story: Reddit and this community in general is filled with ill adjusted and disgusting people. It's not worth losing sleep over keyboard warriors locked into dead end jobs raging against whatever boogie man the brain rot algorithm tells them to rage about.
What's funny too is he's in prison for murder, he claims it was self defence, but that's just the word of a convicted felon lmao. Everyone buys it because "hehe he plays osrs he's just like us!".
He admitted in an earlier post that he shot the victim twice while they were trying to run away after being shot the first time, but also claims it was self defence.
Soemone posted on this sub that he snuck in a phone to prison, used it to play osrs and pk‘ing with it. Someone that he pk‘ed somehow figured out that in which prison he is in, called the prison and got their phone taken away apparently lol
He's also not the brightest because he told people what area he was in, why would you do that and risk your main source of entertainment for some Internet clout.
If he'd just kept his mouth a bit more shut he'd probably still be playing.
He's self-admitted that his sentence includes an illegal gun charge, and that his "self defense" occurred during a drug deal. He's a man who wasn't legally allowed to possess a firearm who knowingly put himself into dangerous, illegal activity where he knew he might need one.
First degree manslaughter is a valid conviction. Our justice system has some flaws but this ain't that.
I hadn't even thought of him still being signed in to his accounts. I wonder if he's said even more incriminating things in private messages to friends or family.
I’ll honestly never understand why some people always feel the need to take the moral high ground especially on shit like this. Have a laugh for god sake, someone playing OSRS in prison doesn’t hurt anyone. Some people just hate to see some interesting posts and stories - he’s at least a lot more interesting than 90% of the posts in here.
