Scott Cawthon? I knew every success must be rigged.

You have to sell your soul and rape children for success.

I looked at the community name, looked at the title, and thought to myself "this is the onion". I should go to sleep

Does this remind anyone else of when we found out what Osama bin laden had on his hard drive

Five nights at epstein island

[–] solrize@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Do I want to know what that is? Five nights just meaning surfing some pr0n site?

Just what is this "final" fantasy? Is it the last in a series? Why are there 17 sequels?

I can remember many years ago when I was much younger than I am now, and when I was still following gaming news, being a gamer at that point of my life, as most boys of that age at that time were, hearing one of the funniest jokes I had and still yet have ever heard and one which I repeat anytime I get the opportunity, which was that "Nothing says 'final' like 'Final Fantasy 13: Part 2'." I believe it was the presenter Jovenshire from Smosh Games but have never been able to find again the source

There is a common myth that they were in dire straights and named it such because if It failed it would end the company. The truth is, they wanted to name it Fighting Fantasy, but that was already taken. Wanting to keep the alliteration, they changed to Final Fantasy, without a significant meaning attached to the title.

I don’t really know what it is either. 

It’s a game or something?

[–] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It’s a jumpecare horror game that all the Gen Alpha kids were obsessed with for a while.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There were no Gen Alpha back then.

[–] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 2 points 1 month ago

There’s definitely Gen Alpha kids who were obsessed with it, but I guess the younger Gen Z were also into it. Kinda came out on the border of the two.

If you don't already know I promise you do not want to.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 1 points 1 month ago

Five nights at Freddy's is a media franchise that includes games and movies. It's a horror story about a pizza place that has teddy bear like robots who are also ghosts of children.

It is or was popular among preteens for a while. It's somewhat similar to Poppy Playtime, with the characters being used all over tik-tok and Roblox etc.

I have no idea nor desire to know how it makes any sense as porn, or why any adult would even want to create that kind of content.

[–] wesdym@mastodon.social 1 points 1 month ago

@solrize It's a medai franchise of v-games, books, and films based on the (now past) popularity of animatronic entertainment at some US pizza chains. It's not relevant to this, because anyone can make porn of anything. (Rule 34)

Color me surprised that Epstein was a fucking 4channer.

[–] semperverus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It wouldn't honestly have been any different than him sending fnaf porn from twitter links though, would it have? I know that 4Chan has a somewhat overblown reputation but in this case the platform used as the vehicle kind of doesn't matter and is only being brought up because of its reputation

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Of all the things, what the fuck.
