People don't want to forget about Luckey, people just want to talk about the guy beyond the 2016 shitstorm that was the elections, his sin is incredible minor compared with current claims associated with his ex bosses at Facebook, people care about VR as technology and will like to talk about it without the minefield that is invoking Luckey and, apparently now, Carmack.

Cannot tell if OP is serious or not.

I guess that's why Hilldawg voters didn't Pokémon GO to the polls.

Nah, research shows Nintendo fans were typically Stein voters.

that palmer luckey thread is just... wtf?

the ride never ends

"You're not a good liberal like I am if you don't think and do what we tell you" - do those clowns even know what 'liberal' actually means?

Luckey is a fuckhead, but a lot of people in that thread are being total hypocrites.  Feep's roommate is an alt-right troll, and yet his scorn is reserved for people that don't want others to criticize Luckey fans.

He didn't get perm'd. Well that may have changed after he starting whining on twitter about his ban though. Regardless, he's presumably

Not sure if Watch Da Birdie is trolling or has completely lost his mind. He seems normal (for a Nintendo fan) outside some of the batshit insane threads he makes.

There's a 5'1" void in nerd threads that no one will ever be able to fill.

Where the fuck does this delusional idiot get his notions?

Again, Luckey made a small donation to Donald Trump.  Who wants him dead?  Trump?  And his evidence for this claim is... what exactly?

Playing contrarian regarding Luckey seems really risky on GAF. This means hyperbole goes unchecked and FUCK YOU LUCKEY and smug nonsense shitposts rules all threads halfway about him. The dumbest thing about it all is blaming Oculus for Luckey attending the event.

I'm 50/50 on if Bobby has the will power to resist coming back.  My immediate reaction is " :lol He'll be back the minute his ban lifts, no way he can resist"

...but there's something special about this man we call Bobby Roberts, so after thinking about it for a few hours I've concluded that he's so far up his own ass that he could resist GAF.

Maybe I'm overthinking it?  I'll have to check my notes.

Nailed it.  Bottom line, there's just not going to be another Bobby Roberts.  Dude's got too many unique qualities and quirks that came together as one.

Basically, the stars aligned for us.  And when I say aligned, I mean like perfect single file Nazi aligned.  That ain't happening again.

What did Palmer exactly do? They only give vague replies, I was only able to find that he funded a troll campaign with memes that targeted Hilldawg.

once the last jedi is released and he sees people talking about disney the temptation to return will be too high.

Baby Hobbits has “quit” GAF before. At most he’ll stay away for like 3-4 months, just like last time. But the combination of his ego not getting the vitamins and nutrients it needs on Twitter (because no one likes him anywhere except GAF) + a new Star Wars cinematic experience will lure him back to GAF like a fly to shit.

I ga-run-tee it, kiddos.

I hate everything about the dumbass phrase "Milkshake Duck". It just feels like one of those try-hard to be clever thing. Makes as much sense as a "Banana Platypus" moment which describes you shoving a cucumber up someone's anus while humming to show tunes.

Never heard anyone in real life use that phrase. Then again, I'm not in the US so english is not as common here.

It's a very young internet slang thing that started as a joke.

Milkshake duck started off as a funny tweet about the weird internet stars that turned out to be awful people and now apparently means any famous person that has at any point said something I disagree with.

    Quote from: hipbabboom
    I'm a fan of open world RPG - mainly Bethesda style games that have deep simulation. I've spent hundreds of hours in Skyrim but always had the one gripe that you I was unable to kill someone's partner and then become the lover/spouse of the bereaved character. Call it a quirk but I've always felt that it would add far more depth into the romance these games attempt and put some skin in the game for myself as a compelling emotional component. It makes the love with the character feel like something I've earned with my own hands - a love I was willing to do dirt for. I wouldn't do something like this in real life but within the confines of a game where its acceptable to play a thief etc... I don't get hung up on the any of the real-world moral melodrama.

    Anyways, since its been a while since Skyrim, I was hoping that there's either a full game or modes to an existing game that would let me do this. If it can hit some (if not all) of the following features, it'd be great:
    [LIST=1]
    • Allow relationships to started or be ended with multiple characters
    • Allow dialog options with the spouse you kill so they're aware of what you intend to do with their partner after their death. Extra points if they can show different reactions in the dialog tree
    • Allow partners to go through a grieving period where yo can complete quests to win their affection
    • Have Mass Effect style love scenes where depending on the effort you put into the relationship, they would state if you were better than their previous partner
    • Have a main-character (or loyalty) quest for each bereaved spouse may discover what you did and depending on your previous quest successes and your speech stats, allows you to attempt to save your relationship with them
    • If the couple had children, make side quests where you win their affection

    Just from these few points already, you can already see how much more interesting and meaningful relationships in a game becomes.

    Putting a modicum of thought into this, I don’t think I’m nuanced enough with Star Wars lore to bait him into anything. I’d just come across as an ignorable philistine.

    Slayven is a bot that quotes others and says "So much truth," or it posts a semi-relevant image from the civil rights era.  You can test it by posting a thread with the title "Black water shows up in Georgia swimming pools," and he will post a picture of black kids being denied access to swimming pools in the 60's.
