TBH, as far as NIN albums go I'm more of a Downward Spiral than a Pretty Hate Machine.

Hurt is probably my theme song.

The Fragile >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Nah.

"I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real"



The other month when I got a blood test, I couldn't help but look at the needle as it drew blood. It felt good seeing that blood, knowing that I was in some sort of pain.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great song. And I hold the unpopular opinion that it's much better than the Johnny Cash cover. And of course I can't argue with your personal connection to that song.

But as a whole album, The Fragile blows it away and gives me way more feels. Subjective tho

Hey everyone. I'm an Administrator at ResetEra and after receiving a message from Himuro, Cerium asked me to come clarify a few things: Besada is not a member of our staff. We do not answer to him. We have never and will never blindly carry out any ban requests. The screenshot you've all seen is days old. Emily looked into the list, found no basis for bans, and discarded it. We also cut ties with the channel that screenshot was taken in because it had outlived its purpose.

Whatever history there is between you guys and GAF, it was before our time. As long as there is no doxxing/harassment or actual illegal activity, we will not ban for off-site behavior. We have no interest in any kind of cross forum beef. We won't tell you how to feel about us, but hopefully that will clear up some misunderstandings.

See, this is what makes you different from GAF. Reaching out, finding common ground, staying your course.

You're off to a solid start.

[Momo]

Cue juniors jumping on that post because they need something to be angry about.

Also lol at just how dead GAF is. Haven't checked it in days, don't really want to check it ever.

I checked the DBZ Super thread twice in the last three days, that's more than I have checked gaf sans links here in 2 - 3 years lol

[Averon]

Given these recent revelations about Besada, his delusion that he was doing 'work' on GAF as a mod, and wanted Tyler to share the ad revenue with him and other mods (or just a Christmas gift basket), is it safe to say Besada is nuts?

"Stalking and harassing..."

... for quoting someone's posts and twitter output and talking about it...

... that's insane.


If you don't want your words to ever be talked about, don't go yelling them out in public on permanent medium?   

Just stick to private messages or use different handles?  Guy uses his real name on twitter and on online forums, he wants attention, he wants followers... if you go out seeking attention, you might get it.  Does he think other people who tweet out stuff don't get criticized for what they say?

This makes sense. "Harassment" in SJ W language is when you make fun of someone in their group, or criticize them, or disagree, or mention (especially if it's a woman). Meanwhile doxxing, witchhunts, trying to get people fired etc. against those they painted as gamergators, nazis, alt-right and so on is A-OK. What are you a nazi sympathizer, criticizing their methods like that?

Too late, Besada and Emily Rogers have cast their final judgment 

Stop lying and spreading hate! She said that she will look into all of the names besada listed! Even with her sources she couldn't have completed that by now!

Wait, you mean THAT Emily Rogers? The one who "leaked" the NX stuff?

 

I knew I heard that name before.

Hi Sirpopopopopop,

As the leader of the hate machine I have already said my stance on ResetERA's exisetence as can be seen here -> link

[Aeptia]

Fix my name.

I'm named after the goddess herself. It's Cindi with an i!

take it up with Besada, he made the list, not me.

On the other hand, you seem to be in the clear since he seems to be talking about another person with an extremely similar name

 

I mean he put "himu" in brackets so... 

[Himu]

Change The Superdeep Borehole to The Hate Machine

[Corporal]

I've never had beef with any mods or fora. I feel like I'm missing out. I'm no good at this internet hate machine thing.

Well, I guess it's to be expected, with me being grouped into "other" along with the rest of all the other mild-mannered rejects.  :'(


Raising the /r/etc mod signal and actually getting a response is somewhat hilarious though, for reasons I can't really put into words. Did a mod of a huge honking mega discussion forum just tiptoe into this here tiny subsection of an average sized Saturday evening feel good forum and advocate for peaceful coexistence? That's so utterly adorable.

It also means we need to start a blood feud with them now.

You know I suspect it was Besada that leaked all of this. The man is known for his 4th dimensional chess.

[bork]

Also, I extended an invitation for Cerium to join our forum to clear the air a bit. He said one of his staff will be doing just that.

Pretty sure there's already at least one of them posting here under an alt.

[Joe Molotov]

We can’t even go one day without banned Neogaffers (a group that includes known pedophile Amirox) doxxing us or trashing us on Twitter and other forums. Turns out there’s a lot of bad apples on that forum, I hope Resetta mods are doing their due diligence in case any of them try to register over there.

[paprikastaude]

Im just here cause there's a void in my life.

On a serious note, I believe that acknowledging this (maybe with more or less of a wink) is what separates one from some of these special GAF cases. I.e. my fucking hobby is to argue about videogames on the internet. I'm wasting time that I could use to be active in something that really is progressive (but I play games instead). This is all trivial bullshit (let alone if you start with forum drama). Even the actual cringeworthy/"problematic" aspects of gaming discourse don't matter in the real world.

What makes certain militant individuals particularly petty is that they are dead serious about this crap. They don't have the guts to admit that we're lazy nerds. No, they can't handle that, so they have to create this hallucination in which they are the progressive pioneers who fight for the holiness of videogame discussions against the evil nazi machinery. They've got nothing else.

[Broseidon]

beseda log off and go outside bitch jesus

[Cravy]

It's jarring how dead GAF is. 9 replies for a new Star Wars trailer thread. Lol. I hope evilore doesn't somehow have enough money to be set for life.

[Mortimer Brewster]

beseda log off and go outside bitch jesus

He does go out but it's for his daily ritual of cleaning out all the local KFC and Taco Bells.

[bork]

Someone link to that thread. Jack and I lead something? I didn't lead anything.

Jack hurt his feelings with this one:

(Image removed from quote.)

And you wrote "Same" underneath

That's literally all you did.

They're trying to do a "clean break," but have the former mods talking to them directly about stuff and trying to get them to do what they say?  OK. 

[ToxicAdam]

Johny Cash's cover of it is the best.

The song now belongs to Guy Fieri

[Aeptia]

WTF, I had to go through 6 pages of posts for 2 pages worth of content?

So many people dribbling onto their keyboards, wiping the saliva off, then posting the results as a message for 4 pages.

And you claim the Junior Members are the problem.

Also, who in their right mind uses light theme on Discord?

[H.I.V.E.]

You know I suspect it was Besada that leaked all of this. The man is known for his 4th dimensional chess.

It all makes sense. So he was ignored by resetera leadership LLC. Apparently the channel he was in on discord allowing him to "moderate" was shut down and then he sees people make fun of him and he decide then and there that he will go all out.

Having saved a pic of when he was in the channel he spread that in the hopes of presenting himself as still in power as well as get back at the people ignoring his deep and powerful voice.

But it doesn't stop there, now as I write this he calls up evilore. He tells him how he struck a blow on his behalf and how utterly destroyed everyone was. Evilore tells him ok get back to work and just like that he is once again all powerful.

SweetNicole Question related this. Not 100% sure of how legitimate it is, but I saw a screenshot of a Discord chat discussing certain people that registered on this forum who had been bad actors in the past. They do not appear to exist as members now, and I was wondering if there is a formal criteria for walling off these types of users.

It's allowed quite a few in, so far, as well as stalkers from the hate sites. Apparently a clean slate is more important than the safety of users.
