What if TestOfTide is a secret Russian agent?  By acting unhinged and idiotic, he ruins the credibility of the anti-Russia narrative.

What if it went all the way up to Evilore's level?  How else was he going to get the ability to pay to get front row seats to Chappelle's comedy special?

Makes you think...

Glad to see the first response is "Literally eat shit" though.

TestOfTide is da real PoliGAF MVP right now but Autodidact is sure putting in the work.

Quote from: Autodidact
These supposedly "liberal" white men really aren't. They only support socialism (not really socialism but whatever) because they think it'll benefit them. "Focus on economic issues" might as well be dog whistle for "Tell the minorities to shut up and help the white man."

Quote from: Autodidact
The Pence thread reminds me that I really, REALLY want some dirt on DeVos. She's involved because of her brother but so far has been spared any damaging leaks. I loathe her and her abhorrent views and want her gone. Unlike some of the other ghouls, I think she could be pressured into resigning because the public already hates her.

Quote from: Autodidact
I also have a sliver of hope for Beto O'Rourke next year. I just wish he hadn't kneecapped himself by refusing to accept "corporate money." No one would have fucking cared in an anti-Trump wave, but no, he has to show people how wonderful and morally superior and anti-establishment (despite being in Congress for years) he is.

Quote from: Autodidact
To be fair, that retirement age comes from a time when people lived much shorter lives. My grandfather, who turns 87 next month, still drives a school bus, has suffered no decline in cognitive ability, and walks better than people twenty years younger. (He's also voted Democratic his entire life.) My grandmother, almost 82 and though not quite as healthy, still has her marbles and health, too.

These people are brain dead and are probably going to be shocked when none of their shitty 2020 faves end up winning shit. The way they talk about this shit shows they haven't learned a single thing from 2016. Still yammering on about whether the candidate is black, old, a man or whatever and not "who's going to help me the most?"

They're so out of touch that they're paralyzed.

prius mum will be happy sending her kid into school with an NWA shirt, because that's the voice of a disenfranchised minority, but she'll go full mary whitehouse on that kid rock CD he found in an old stash of trucker porn in the attic.

Well the Jacobin, Intercept and TYT trifecta already got the knives out on Harris, so more than likely she ain't happening in 2020.

Speaking of, what is up with these news orgs and hating black female political figures?

BLM members (And more specifically the Safetypinbox owners)

Joy Ann Reid

Donna Brazile

Kamala Harris

Maxine Walters


Hell, add Angela Rye into the mix and they would be against every notable black female democrat in the spotlight. Besides the Honorable Nina Turner of course.... Bleh
Quote
Just do what I do can and think of them as right wings in sheep's clothing.
Quote
TYT couldn't stop Kamala Harris if she decided to run. LOL

Hell, the way black support is consolidating around her already, I don't even think Booker could stop her.

She has a clear shot in 2020.
Quote
She's been my pick since mid last year. I can't wait for her to run. I think she's gonna dominate.
Quote
Like Royalan said, the black community is already rallying around her. And when she talks, she sounds like a real human being to me. There's always gonna be a large part of America that has a "problem" with her, and she'll be as much of a lightning rod for the Right as Obama was. I mean, those parts of Twitter are already slamming her. As much as I dig Gillibrand, I just really feel like it's gonna be Harris when she speaks.
Quote
Kamala is great and she is still one of my top choices, but I am curious to see how Gillibrand would try to gain black support. I could easily see Gillibrand make a politically incorrect about racial issues, but instead of it being conservative politically incorrect, it would be liberal politically incorrect. Something like "Notice that Trump is too much of a goddamn wuss to hold one of his rallies in Flint, Michigan" or "Remember when that asshole said you have nothing to lose? I'm not so stupid as to think so little of you."
Quote
2020 will probably wind down to Harris vs Bernie.. and I think Bernie wins honestly.

But it's going to get ugly and I'm not looking forward to it.
Quote
I must have missed the memo on Kamala Harris. Why do people hate her?

She would great candidate for President.

Harris recruited other District Attorneys and filed an amicus brief in District of Columbia v. Heller, arguing that the Second Amendment does not protect an individual's right to own firearms.
Quote
Harris argued for treating "habitual and chronic truancy" among children in elementary school as a crime committed by the parents of truant children

Quote
In February 2016 it was revealed that the Attorney General would open a criminal investigation into the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department handling of the Mitrice Richardson case. The decision by Attorney General Kamala Harris came about after her initial refusal to look into the case[85][86] resulted in public outcry and the Richardson's family and supporters submitting over 500 pages of evidence.[85] Mitrice Richardson was a 24-year old African American woman who was released from the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department in the middle of the night without any means of fending for herself. Her body was later found in isolated canyon, leaving the family with many unanswered questions.[87] On December 30, 2016, results of the criminal investigation into the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department handling of the Mitrice Richardson case concluded that there was insufficient evidence to support criminal prosecution of anyone involved in the handling of the case.

I can appreciate that Cesare Borgia and Matt have some experience around the sausage factory but everytime they talk about their "insider" knowledge, it sounds like the PTA moms gossiping about latest cheerleader drama at the local high school. :doge  And just like PTA moms, there is alway that sad yearning on their part that they wish they had more agency in the topics they gossip about.

I think I've been legally drunk 1 time in my entire 40 years of life, and that was more because we were drinking Appletinis and they were really sweet and easy to drink. I wasn't paying attention to how much I had had to drink and found myself really dizzy for a while. It was actually scary to feel like that.

It really shouldn't be that hard.

There are a litany of ways to make a strong case against racism and ethnic cleansing without throwing a brick at some neckbeard or 4chan trolls face.

Which just gets the 9 to 5'ers to see that false equivalency they hate. That gets them so triggered they want to throw a brick at them too.

Something you would think a group on the cutting edge of social media age induced sensitivity to violations of social norms would recognize as possibly counter-productive.

Is there a thread on gaf about that?

I remember there was a similar article+corresponding thread a couple of years ago but that one dealt with video game characters. The concept was stupid then, and still stupid now. Why would anyone want to support this shit? The whole fricken point of superheroes are to represent the idealized human form. Just because most people would fall closer to the fatties on the right doesn't mean that that's such a thing that anyone should be happy about. I mean, it's not even like they're, you know, slightly chubby or anything. They're pretty much obese. Why would you encourage such a thing?   :crazy

Social Media analytics company provides breakdown of chatter on social media. Shows Microsoft's conference dominated conversation while Assassin's Creed Origins and Metroid Prime 4 were the most talked about on Social Media. Thread becomes constant Ree-ing about how everything is wrong and social media doesn't matter anyway.

People here have little problem with stereotyped depictions unless it it outright insulting stuff. This creates another set of problems because we tend to be insensitive about race (remember Memin) but people are not exactly outright malicious with minority depictions.

I'd bet cash money that people in Mexico are more thrilled than anything else that a Mario game is going to have a really Mexican themed level.
Believe it or not, people who aren't from Amerieurope actually would probably LOVE it when they see their culture or country featured, even if it's only very shallow and surface level. Lord knows that's been my experience. I used to be more like the average Gaffer, in that sense. Very westernized worldview and other people outside of that bubble may as well have been cardboard standins for real human beings. Which is exactly how GAF collectively seems to view a lot of people for whom they defend from "cultural appropriation".

I would bet cash money that the shut-ins on GAF have never actually traveled anywhere outside of the US. And if they have, it's probably only been to friggin' resort type areas anyway where they don't end up meeting people. They're just locked into their little bubble where they think that communicating with a person online is the same as meeting people in person, I suppose. That must be why they consider themselves so wise and worldly, even though they're anything but.

Always fascinated by adults who demand some degree of ownership over what Nintendo produces.  If they enjoy the content then great.  But that doesn't change the fact that Nintendo makes games aimed squarely at kids, families, and young teens.

Now if you really want to put someone on blast for taking a cowardly position, then let's talk about David Cage.  Turning on a dime and changing his rhetoric to say that "Detroit: Become Human" is apolitical is one of the biggest bitch moves I've ever seen.

Here's the thing:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=240993018&postcount=118

Nintendo is the kiddie company taking the adult response. Corporations are bad at taking political stances because it is not their function to do so. It's not in their interest to do anything daring. Any time a big company takes a political stance, it's a stance pre-approved by marketing. Going greener is market tested to their specific audience. Breast cancer research gets a ton of money because every customer loves boobs. Big business companies are not wise elders of society here to guide the souls of consumers. They are here to plunder your wallet.

Reggie keeping it real. GAF keeping it real naive.

I wonder how the business meetings go and if they actually say "this demographic might potentially be gamergaters, and we don't want to offend these walking wallets" :lol

Lime keeps on showing us how the Lime collective understands business.  I imagine Lime(s) picture it like this.

It's been fascinating and disturbing to watch.

I don't think I've seen such slavish worship of a corporation and so openly shameless as well.

To  be honest there's a lot of ToS involving issues when you create a crossplatform title.

Imagine you need to report someone playing with you, but he's on xbox and you're on Ps4. Ofc the reports should fall on psyonix hands, which makes it sort of a very complex per-title issue.

PS: I personally believe that the game/system options should be required to have checkboxes where you opt in crossplatform and decide which platforms you can crossplay with. Sony shouldn't have problems since you opt-in for the possibly higher playerbase. But accepting it makes you forfeit some rights like... complaining about the players username and stuff.

They also didn't know what debt, mortgages, rent, or credit was either.

Seems like they got the bad end of that trade.

Let's take a moment to lament the great quality of life in Cold-War-era East Germany.  :doge

That post made my blood boil. It almost made me wish those clowns would get a chance to experience that shit. You don't really need to borrow money if it's worthless and there's nothing to buy in the first place. You also don't need money if you just vanish one day because you dared to critize the government in private - and one of your "friends" or family members turned out to be a STASI spy.

Want to report someone? Use the cross-play title's network report function.

Done.

you can't befriend them either. No voicechat support either. I believe they should accept crossplatform play but as an opt-in system-wide option. I disabled it on rocketleague because it gives me a huge headache to play with ps4 players on RL.

I mean, that "disable cross-play" is an option in like... 90% (if not 100%) of all-cross play titles. :lol

The report function would use something like PsyNet in Rocket League, or just find the player(s) console network and then shoot a quickie report to whoever moderates that. It's not that huge of a headache outside of security for the Network, but that's not even that much of a hurdle.

I said it just presents itself as a problem to manage your online ecosystem, because it feels gimped in comparison and maybe that's now what people look for. If that's the case, all i'm saying is sony should make it "opt-in" instead of "opt-out", so anyone getting into crossplay does it because he/she wants to. For example, on games like monster hunter, i'd have crossplatform enabled for sure.

Always fascinated by adults who demand some degree of ownership over what Nintendo produces.  If they enjoy the content then great.  But that doesn't change the fact that Nintendo makes games aimed squarely at kids, families, and young teens.

Now if you really want to put someone on blast for taking a cowardly position, then let's talk about David Cage.  Turning on a dime and changing his rhetoric to say that "Detroit: Become Human" is apolitical is one of the biggest bitch moves I've ever seen.

Eh, David Cage is lying his ass off and Detroit story is probably going to be painful bad but I dont exactly blame him for not going full political given reactions in places like GAF to stuf like "mechanical apartheid.
