It was for sure clunky, frustrating, tenuously connected to the old games and the graphics were kind of shitty. But it killed some  time.

So what do we do? I think we have to look at how people are drawn into those groups. People are drawn there because of humour. The alt-right is seen as having biting and shocking "fuck you" humour, while liberals are seen as self-censoring, prudish and fun-hating. We need left-wing alternatives to South Park and 4chan. Modern day Jonathan Swifts. Luckily such people already exist. We have John Oliver. We had Jon Stewart. We have Feminist Frequency (who is a lot funnier than people give her credit for). We have NeoGAF.com. These are all funny and edgy in their own ways, but without compromizing on their liberal ideals like, say, Bill Maher does.

Oh, Neogaf, so funny and open...

Censorship is our best tool against the alt-right actually, but the USA values freedom of speech above the truth.

Maybe is to him, I mean he considers South Park alt right

And South Park is libertarian. Libertarianism is not much more than polished social Darwinism with some weed sprinkled on top. That plus the constant provocation going on with South Park and you are closer to alt-right than one would have thought at first glance

[agrajag]

So would a liberal South Park have episodes praising safe spaces and things like that?

No, those are the reason we lost to Trump. There should be episodes trashing gays and minorites and teaching us to be nicer to rednecks.

The vast majority of vagrants/homeless/beggars I interact with are deeply disturbed

So I'm a mark or whatever. I always give when asked if I have. I dont judge what they are gonna use it for, my thought process is "if you need to beg in public for it, you need it more than I do"

This leads me to having interactions with these types of people every day.

1. Pros/hustlers - These guys beg for a living. Its a job for them, and by all acounts they seem to do pretty well. One of my favorite guys, is at my subway station every day when I get out of work, has a cane he doesnt need, the whole nine yards.

2. Down on their luck - This could be you or me. A couple of unlucky things happen in a row, and BAM, you're out on the street. These people are usually pretty well adjusted and seeminly able to take advantage of programs that exist to help them, as you usually dont see them around for very long maybe a couple of weeks.

3. Deeply disturbed - These are the vast majority of vagrants/homeless/beggars that I encounter. Maybe 80+%?

I see people sitting in penn station which obv is pretty nice for shelter in the winter. Rather then use a bathroom a few feet away, they shit themselves, then get kicked out.

I have people beg me for cash/cig, then literally come back up to me 5 mins later with zero recognition that we have just done this dance.

Muttering to themselves, screaming at no one, pissing in the middle of the sidewalk, scream "fuck you" in your face after you give a cig or money...

Cant we make it a priority to get these people better help? They are sick! Brutally, visably, sick. There is a narritive among some (many?) that these people are lazy, are schemers, are taking advatage of the system (wtf???) but thats not it at all. They are terribly sick.

Have any cities, anywhere on the globe found a consistent, successful way to get these people help?

Is it a money issue? Or do we really not know how to help them?

my vague impression from the few times I've waded into 4chan recently is the zeitgeist there is kind of getting bored of Trump and the alt-right etc already, can any more regular filth spelunkers here confirm/deny?

[benjipwns]

This is what needs to be done, i think. Fascism and neo-nazism needs to be demonized just like they try to demonize immigrants and whatever else. They need to be made absolutely unacceptable, their worst possible consequences highlighted constantly. They need to be hated.
Undoubtedly this is contradictory to many liberals, leftists and whatever else but it is necessary almost certainly.
"But it will divide people even more!", some fool will cry. Maybe... but with luck, the divide will be 90-10 for good guys. Otherwise, it may end up being worse...

EDIT Do note this does not mean inciting violence. Rather, people need to be made active voters, who vote against nazi-minded.

Oscars so White, What's Next?

People have been wondering, with black movies gaining more recognition at award shows, what's next? Another movement to get more representation? Well...yes kinda. Not only do more black forms of media need representation, but also Hispanic/Latino and also Asian and Brown. Minoritiy representation at the Oscars needs to he better. Some meh ass movies get nominated and win Best picture when there are better options with Brown, Hispanic, or Asian movies. Oscars so White isn't over because we won 5 awards that night. This isn't over seeing as it's still a fact that there is a lack of representation of black people as well as other minorities in Hollywood. We need to see more Brown, Hispanic/Latino, and Asian actors, actresses, and movies be nominated outside of Documentaries and Best Foreign picture.

Edit: And of course woman need better representation, it's absurd how much the industry disregards them.

I was reading on twitter about the lack of latina/latino representation in tv/movies. It is kinda crazy that one of the largest minorities is also one of the least represented.

Asian cinema should be recognized more.

How is someone shocked to realize in 2017 that many/most homeless people don't have the greatest of mental health? How sheltered do you have to be to not intrinsically understand that?

Yeah thats one of the things im curious about. How much being homeless might amp up any issues they are already struggling with.

Thread: The Independent: How Horizon Zero Dawn accidentally became 2017’s most important game

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=231282349&postcount=192

Horizon certainly isn't the first game to do this and it hopefully won't be the last, even in this year. But goddammit, the fact that I'm in tears typing has to mean something, both for the game's place in pop culture and for the state of games as a whole. Perhaps the title of the article is hyperbolic, but in this very specific moment in time, a game I didn't even fucking want nor have the system for has come to mean a whole lot to me in just a few hours of experiencing it. Horizon is special in that regard, and I give Guerrilla Games a whole lot of my gratitude for it.

I drunk bought Horizon last week (no recollection of doing this) and it's pretty good but it's basically just a bunch of elements taken straight from other successful games (Witcher, Far Cry, Tomb Raider, etc) and stitched together in a pretty package. It's a nice game, but special? Nah. It's a bit too shallow and uninspired outside of the beautiful world design. I don't see it sticking with me if or when I eventually finish it and move on.

This debacle brought into stark relief just exactly how messy it is and will continue to be to make traditionally white institutions more diverse and inclusive. In many cases, it will look like black people coming on stage to take away the very awards that white people presumed they would win and prepared themselves to receive. This is the scary part of what it means for white people to challenge white privilege: it means sometimes they will lose. More than that, it means they will have to endure the humiliation of losing when they were so entirely sure they had won.

Oh Jesus Christ, not enough  's in the world for that paragraph.

[railGUN]

Framing this screw-up as symptomatic of institutional racism is literally trying to find a topic that will ensure people vehemently disagree with each other over. It's hard enough to convince middle and right America of institutional racism on good, solid evidence like the resume-with-black-sound-names studies. But then this kind of stuff is impossible to sell to anybody except the most polarized elements of the left party.
