By Play Anywhere I assume they mean Nintendo Switch

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=237431547&postcount=16

Not that into the game but a Switch port might change my mind

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=237138339&postcount=108

I won't. I'm no longer supporting pubs who don't release their games on Switch

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=236979801&postcount=6

Cool. No excuse to not have a Switch version launch same day now

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=236872875&postcount=58

Switch goal is absolutely ridiculous, put X1 there and PS4 should be where the X1 goal is, Switch should be priority. Portability here would be tits, but devs just want Nintendo to fail like always

Have devs not seen that Lego City Undercover and Puyo Puyo Tetris have done great on Switch? People don't just want Nintendo first party games

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=237865338&postcount=6

The Switch is a life-changing revelation that I can honestly say didn't just change my outlook on gaming, but on life itself. Who would have ever thought of this concept, taking games on the go. I for one never even thought it was possible, but the beautiful men and women at Nintendo came up with this crazy concept and it's been an absolute home run

God bless Nintendo for giving us this device, god bless

Beat his fucking ass is the only answer, I'm sorry. What the hell would the cops do with no "evidence" of rape and his sister being meek about reporting it? The fact that the boy invaded their home to have sex with her against her will (his words, granted) speaks volumes about how scummy the senior is and how badly he needs to be beaten.

Edit: If he's a senior and she's a freshman, that means he's at least 17-18 and if he's 18 the cops can go after him without beating his ass.

"Fuck them."

Most of them have no friends and have long since isolated themselves from their families.

I'm no psychologist or psychiatrist but I can't imagine social isolation is mentally healthy, which might explain why NeoGAF is the way it is.

Edit: Batting .500

Lets be honest, there is a lot of things to shit on GAF about, but are they wrong here?

Trump's continued popularity with the party base is largely built out of the fact that we are in a period of hyper-partisanship and most of his supporters consume propaganda on a daily basis. Buying into the narrative that America's fourth estate is less valid then their partisan propaganda.

I can empathize with the person that inadvertently follows down the path of indoctrination, but at the same time there just is not an equivalency to be made here. Not on this scale....And pointing at the absurdity of it all is something that I would think people on here could understand?

Just like no one gets abortions for fun, no one -- or very, very few people -- throws out rape accusations on a lark, either.

Oh I agree with your sentiment, absolutely. I guess I'm just tired of the GAF hot take that people in one specific geographical area can be written off completely, or that a person who works in the coal or auto industry can just "change jobs," "should have gone to college," or people living in rural need to "just move" to get away from toxic geographical political ideology. It's one thing to say that from behind an iPhone but very different when you have to eat. I, believe it or not, don't really want to live in West Virginia, beautiful as the state can be, but I'm also a realist.

I guess that's my frustration, it's that these #notall_______ sweeping classifications are really marginalizing entire groups of people, whatever the group may be, because it's easy. It's low-effort. No one is asked to explain or look any deeper than the stereotypes they are continuing to propagate. I mean why should they look any further? It makes people FEEL GOOD to have someone to blame for the state of the news I guess. If all else fails I can blame myself as long as people agree with me.

I feel like there is opportunity to ask good questions and find good answers and then have conversation but NOPE. Not on that forum of self defined progressives. Cause if you do, you get hot take Shumway answering with a gif-o-hilarity and ensuing dogpile wondering why you need to support racism.

I'm Pollyannic, I guess. I want better? I feel like it could be better? Sorry, it just disappoints me.

Hey Andy 

[VomKriege]

Lets be honest, there is a lot of things to shit on GAF about, but are they wrong here?

Trump's continued popularity with the party base is largely built out of the fact that we are in a period of hyper-partisanship and most of his supporters consume propaganda on a daily basis. Buying into the narrative that America's fourth estate is less valid then their partisan propaganda.

I can empathize with the person that inadvertently follows down the path of indoctrination, but at the same time there just is not an equivalency to be made here. Not on this scale....And pointing at the absurdity of it all is something that I would think people on here could understand?

My main issue with the GAF thread I linked is that the discourse will go straight to those generalizations over a couple quotes (from people we know nothing about except they live in Michigan and that they're seniors), moreover about a state Trump won only narrowly.

And while I am sure that Trump voters that are "too far gone" and/or horrible persons do exist (and agree that Trump voters would do well to self-reflect on their own responsibility and choice if and when Trump will shit the bed), I do find there's a disturbing -or hilarious- tendency for those discussions to indulge in some nasty "class-ism" not too far removed from the conception that poor people are inherently dangerous and to be sheperded (by the intellectual elite such as the population of a videogame forum) as if it was 1917.

Stuff like :

If common working men are like Trump's almost daily idiocy...lol

You know, its shit like this which sometimes makes me feel like democracy was a mistake.

It's increasingly looking like low-information voters are the anchor pulling us all down, and they seem increasingly likely to engage in cognitive dissonance when it comes to the orange con man.

These people are literally brain dead.

Oh my god! Whoever says something like that qualifies for handicap parking.

Seriously, if trump is impeached, the only way to save this country is to remove the voting rights of these people in federal elections.

They think universal healthcare is bad because "why should someone who doesn't work have the same rights as me", despite the fact their only contribution was turning a screw in a plant or driving a tractor.

The problem comes from isolating yourself from other people because of some disagreement and filling in all the blanks you have about those people with little nuggets of hatred, that pile up over time, and end up making you a bigoted, vile being.

There couldn't have been much "yas queen" going on because I'm told, repeatedly, that her voter base wasn't very enthusiastic.

Funny how they argue themselves in circles, ain't it?
And I'm not going to touch the innate homophobia surrounding the constant "YAAAS QUEEN" criticism.

Reddit and most anyone that wanted the DNC to listen: "Sanders would've won."

Also that 1% Male loss to a must be from Jack. 77% Blacks viewing Sanders favorably: Where the hell were you during the primaries? Yes, I mad about that.

There was a hilarious post on the last page that was something like, "Dems need to put up someone who people will be excited to vote for." But we already vote on the person who gets "put up". Since the thinly veiled implication is that Dem primary voters should have voted Sanders, the argument is that primary voters should have chosen sometime they weren't excited to vote for on the chance that  people voting in the general would be excited.

Except that would've been the case. You know how many Sander's supporters couldn't vote in the Democratic primaries due to "closed"/party-only voting for the primaries? A lot.

Trump had the crazy tea-party split to buoy him above the Republican party. Sander's supporters weren't part of the Democratic party. "So why should we listen to them?" Because they are the public, Jack. If you're going with your "establishment" candidate when a lot of folks (white, or otherwise) are mostly okay with Sanders (and not okay with his crazy supporters, let us be honest about that. There are sects of the "BernieBros" that really should shut-up. Making them the DNC version of the Tea Party at times), but they can't vote him as candidate, what does that tell you?


Primary system should be done away with, IMO. It's basically a dragged out election. I get why it's there, but I've never been fond of it.

[zomgee]

I'm starting to understand why trump brags about his victory still because people won't shut the fuck up about why they lost

What, pray tell, would anyone find "sickening" about an opposite sex pair of friends engaged in behavior typical of a married couple?  There's an obvious lack of any reasonable answers to this inquiry, and a well-trodden history of people characterizing same sex intimacy as significantly less palatable.  To claim otherwise flies in the face of very well documented history.



I characterized your comment as contributing to homophobic tendencies that are pretty well documented in our society.  I made no assertions about your intent or personal character and did my best to gently suggest that thinking twice about the implications might be warranted.  Nothing I've said even remotely warrants an apology, nor is one forthcoming.  If you have a problem with that, feel free to reach out to moderators.
