To be fair, adding a reskin of a boss, and keeping it basically the same boss with a few new delayed attacks, is pretty lazy. Especially when it costs an extra $10 (Or $25 if you're going season pass) to access said boss. I can't say I blame him for this, for a change.

I helped a friend through the DLC, and ran across the boss myself for the first time. I was pretty annoyed they went that route, too.

It's a shame they didn't do something like completely change how he works at 50% hp or something. Tho I liked how they changed up his attack timings, he's still the same old Smelter Demon, which allowed me to kill him on my first try.

And technically, it does not cost anything to access this boss. Since this is the co-op boss, you can just place your sign in one of the rooms at the beginning and be summoned to help other people. It's kind of hilarious that the freebie boss is just a copy paste.

This has been flooding my twitter, and this seems relevant to the thread. It seems an Lper named Kootra had the SWAT called to his house in the middle of a stream as a prank. :stonklol:

Now the even more hosed part? That's not a one-time thing! It's called "swatting" and somebody did it to calebhart42 (some big name streamer who does "shirtless" runs) awhile back.

Someone did it to CoD streamer WhiteBoy7 or however the gently caress you spell his stupid name and he and his girlfriend ended up getting charged with possession because they happened to have some pot in the house.

For the record, it was not "some" pot, it was enough pot to constitute being a dealer even if he wasn't actually one.

Swatting is incredibly illegal no matter where you live but there's basically nothing that can be done about it if they can't trace where the initial call came from.

It is. I forget the actual name of the crime, though. If you make the call from a different state, it's federal and the FBI handles it. I guess the people doing are gambling that they won't get caught or they're not worth the cost of being tracked down?

Seeing as how calling for a swat team to go to an area you claimed and joked was a potential hotspot for a big enough crime to occur, wasting a bunch of time and resources they could be using to prevent real crimes, just for them to see it was a bunch of nerdy 20-year-olds playing video games... yeah, it's pretty drat illegal.

Like, what happened to the good ol' days of delivering pizzas to someone else's house? Do they not realize they can be arrested and sent to jail for it or can their calls really not be traced back to them?

Yeah, I don't know enough about it to comment on how much it was, considering my source of this was noted YouTube Scumbag DJ Keemstar and I can only make it through the first 20 seconds of his videos before he starts reading tumblr posts verbatim.

For the record, I think swatting is a deplorable act that wastes taxpayer dollars and police resources and the people who make the fake calls ought to do some time for it.

But how loving funny would it be to watch it happen to DSP? "NOTHING I COULD DO, OFFICER!"

Question, regarding the SWATTING.....how do these individuals know where the streamer lives/which PD to call and have them go to his house? I mean are these people dumb enough to give their address out over their stream, or are these people somehow hacking the dudes stream and internet signal or some poo poo?
