Wish more people who work in the gaming the industry would do this to the clowns on gaf who think they're "plugged in" to the industry because they googled some shit and heard rumors somewhere

[benjipwns]

But yes, take all that praise without correcting people. What about Ryan and Chuck and and the other artists and designers that have been there since Prime 1? No one mentions them at all. Nope lets all praise and get excited about the Naughty Dog guy, who GAF STILL goes on about and not correct them, even though you don't work at Retro.

But of course, you come in and correct and embarrass me, the person that DOES do research. Way to be a pro.

And also I as I said, he was nowhere to be seen when people were undeservedly gushing over him as the Naughty Dog guy that would take Retro to new heights when he worked there for nine whole months.

lol, the guys name was in the fucking thread title of this one before it got edited, no wonder he saw it compared to some thread from when he was moving a few states over

Speaking of which:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=202587801&postcount=298

Yes. Because those nag adblock users is gonna have them turn this stuff off, double-so when InfoSec pros and anyone with a brain is telling Joe Sixpack to NEVER do that because malware. Good job, ad departments.

Edit: The real way to solve this would be for ad-companies to hire coders and security professionals AND have the ad-departments handle making the various sized/animated ads. Thereby the adcompanies are on the hook if malware enters instead of them only curating ads and giving them to the people using their ad-services. I dunno if that method has changed, since I stopped caring once pop-ups started to become annoying in 2000.[/endedit]

and then talking shit about Lowtax and SA's payment models at the bottom of the page while his own mods can ban and tag any poster they dislike as they please.

I mean you and he both aren't wrong. SomethingAwful has been *cough*"awful"*cough* since the mid-00's. Sometime around Web 2.0 it started to lose it's luster and most of it's forum userbase has dwindled/left. Paying :10bux: to get the NeoGAF user experience from SA's moderators isn't my idea of fun, personally.

Paying :10bux: to get the NeoGAF user experience from SA's moderators isn't my idea of fun, personally.

SA is fucking terrible these days, don't get me wrong. It's :10bux: I'm never getting back. But the whole "but you can pay to change the username/forum title/avatar" of another poster tangent was hilarious because at least SA keeps it's forum economy going by letting people buy titles etc in microtransactions and if someone's roasting you, you can roast them back by buying an avatar, just change it back with your own money or be smug in the knowledge that your trolling is so successful you got someone to pay to give you a shitty avatar with big red text. While on neogaf if you have the wrong opinion, the mods will tag you for whatever they want and act smug because they can tag the peasants for the wrong opions how they please and they can't change anything back (Or ban them). So Evilore calling SA "Toxic" is pot kettle black since he's let mods run riot with their own petty vendettas and agendas.

SA is a shitshow and it's decline is down to it's woeful administration who were dedicated to putting down any dissent in their job as a forum hall monitor and letting alternatives like Reddit and 4chan take over. But the business model is theoretically better than neogaf. Just that Lowtax pissed it away and will never get it back. And neither will Evilore get his old business model back. And it's their fault, even though they blame everyone else for it.

At the same time, SA had an actual convicted pedophile on their mod staff and someone actively sharing child porn on their mod squad compared to an alleged pedophile rights advocate on Neogaf. So SA always the lead in "Shitty moderator staff and shitty website".

Back to the fat and health at any size stuff, I feel that sites like tumblr are very dangerous. Not every life choice should be supported. There is a difference between a chubby honey cutting herself because doesn't have a thigh gap, and being morbidly obese. So they create this insulated bubble where anyone who points out that is impossible to be healthy at 400 goddamn pounds is a bigot. Couple that with the "it's impossible to lose weight" horseshit, and you've got a misery stew. The blood, and gravy, of these people will be on their hands.

That's totally a troll account, first it was having a friend that despised gays and HIV (when OP is gay with HIV). And now hes saying he was locked in a shed for several months?

the longest at one time i spent was from my birthday in 2005 which is february, to november that same year. otherwise it was shorter. but i mean you dont notice those things do you. i used to get lots of food put through and meals twice a day. as for why nobody noticed my absence outside of my house, i think it was put round i was sick. so my mum says. and i think a lot of people forgot me? i didn't have many friends and we were very young so i suppose thats natural. the last time i was in the shed i was 16, that was before he ran away when he was finally confronted by my mother.

What about his school asking why hes been absent for an entire school year? Family, any friends?

Abusive people having control of a family isn't something that hasn't happened, but being locked in a shed for 9 or 10 months and no one batting an eye, especially if you have siblings and a mom who apparently didn't condone of this behavior, is a stretch.

She confronted him. About his actions. At last. That was 2009. He ran away. Then we panicked. And we basically legged it from there, to here, and have been radio silence ever since. But he is going to be prosecuted now.

My family were aware. They didn't do anything. Well, they gave me books to read. Or gameboy batteries. But by and large he told them I was wicked and not to go near it, and they didn't.

This sounds like the entire family agreed on locking him in a shed. There wasn't fights or defiance, they just agreed that someone in their family needed the shed treatment. And his mom confronted the dad when the child was 16? Why the fuck would you wait so long?
