The GOAT comeback

[Swollen Bowels]

Wow, some of the dialogue on GAF atm is literal liquid shite. The discussions seem to have already taken a turn for the worse. They're much more immature and rude now. I can't believe that Evilore has sorta pretended that nothing has changed, when an awful lot has changed.

Not really. The accusations were unmerited, the exodus of users slight and easily replinishable, and Evilore only needs to amass a new roster of lackeys to fill his moderation team.

Everything post-Bungie has been nothing short of disappointing or garbage. From awful new lore (the Human-Forerunner War ), terrible gameplay design (Promethean combat encounters  ), to total fuckups (the one and only: MCC  ).

On Stinkles:

Long time neogaf lurker here.

Something that had me curious for a long time, how come no one ever called out a certain neogaf sweetheart about his obsession (or if you prefer, creepy stalker tendencies) for a celebrity? I do understand having a crush for one and, to some degree, having some pictures, but having 1 TB hard drive filled with pictures of that person? Always talking about that celebrity or using her picture to the point where it was considered a meme by the rest of the community? An obcession that started when she was underage (and i do hope that person was somewhere near that age range)? Talking about how he would follow her to certain events?

How was this considered normal, especially for that community?

Allow me to address these individually:

1) I don't have a hard drive full of pictures and never have. I'm fairly certain the source of this tidbit confused me with either fistful and his Natalie Portman folder or zkylon and his/her Zooey Deschanel folder.

2) I'll admit I was once rather liberal with my reaction gif usage, which I greatly limited and gradually reduced to zero after a couple of members informed me they found it bothersome, but I never once attempted to derail a thread just to talk about her. I'd answer questions if they came up as it seemed rude to ignore them, but that's it.

3) I started using the avatars when she was 17-and-a-half. I myself would have been 22 at the time. I should also note out that I've never had an avatar of when she was young, so while I'm acutely aware of the perception my use of the avatars over the years has created (which is why I don't really take any offence when someone decides to infer that I'm something less than a normal person), reports that I'm sort of *phile in training are not based in truth.

4) That's patently false and most likely a mischaracterisation of my plan last year to holiday in the US, in part to catch The Crucible as seeing her perform on stage could very well prove to have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Hell, I even said at one point that I had absolutely zero intention of trying to see her after the show when someone made a joke(?) that she'd need to increase personal security. To say she's one of my favourite actors working today would be stating the obvious, but I don't keep track of her personal life and don't envision a future in which I'm acting out my own personal version of Ingrid Goes West. That's nobody business but her own. That she's a public figure doesn't preclude her right to privacy and living a normal life.

(The trip didn't end up happening as my hours at work were cut and I wouldn't have been able to comfortably afford it. My parents offered to pay the difference, bless their hearts, but with my dad retired and my mum working only part-time, I couldn't in good conscience have accepted the offer.)

I don't expect any of this to change your mind about me; again, I understand perfectly if you're still convinced I'm weird, so no hard feelings. I just thought I'd chime in and set the record straight.

The problem isn't even your weird behavior toward a celebrity, the problem is tha the one you chose to fetish is ugly as eff. I'd have understand if you were speaking about Holly Earl or something, but Ronan is shite from toe to brows.

OK you are a troll

My first encounter with the Prometheans was jarring, requiring a few minutes for me to assess and adapt to their combat. But the game soon became a worthy successor to Halo 3. I disagree, though, that Halo: Reach is a bad game. I think it was an amazing note of departure for Bungie. But my favorite, if just for the jazz-infused soundtrack, Halo in recent memory was ODST.

It's easy, assuming you're white, for you to say that he's overreacting and acting hysterical. A simple gaming forum, a community that should be carefree and enjoyable, is infested with people whose views - when combined with millions of other like-minded individuals - are a direct threat to his existence. I completely understand why he doesn't feel safe.

1st bold: Poor assumption to make.

2nd bold: Horseshit. Plain and simple. I actually deleted a huge boring paragraph breaking down numbers because it doesn't matter, they are tiny overall in the case of race, and bigger but a vast minority in the case of homophobia. Stating that you don't care about talking about an issue in a forum that is not centered around talking about that issue does not make you a danger to the marginalized group du jour. The poster being responded to is not a threat. And the fact that he is considered such is a symptom of mass hysteria, and very little else.

That isn't to say what PBY feels isn't real. The feelings themselves absolutely are. But they are in no way rational. And stoking those fears does nothing more than infantilize them. The world PBY lives in, where a post on a message board can make them feel for their safety is not actually reflected in reality.

Also, still not convinced you aren't a troll, don't much care either way at this point. This is fun.

 

Of course they're rational. PBY is black, I think, and he lives in a country crawling with white supremacists emboldened by a President who has now appointed himself their leader. Allowing those attitudes to go, however innocuously expressed, to go unchallenged is a danger to him and everyone else concerned with the rights of minorities.

I get the impression that he thinks this is just a phase and people will run right back to the forum. He basically did fuck all at this point aside from tantrum-deleting OT.

[KarpalaJoe]

LOL.

I've been on many big boards, it's very rare politic materials are taken as seriousely as on Neogaf. If anything Neogaf is one of the rare site where politic and being left (or an alt-right) is something important, most of time people on gaming board speak about... games. Of course you can find shitty obscure forum or straight savagery like 4chan subforum, but the biggest board like IGN, gamefaq, Gamespot etc are mostly free of serious political discussions, for the best.

Oh and everyone I know hate and love Neogaf for the same thing :

+ Quick to get informations.
+ Forum without thousand of subforums (still baffle me no one is copying Neogaf forum layout, it's a staple of clarity imo)
+ Useful informations.

- Shill everywhere.
- Insecure individuals aroudn every fucking corner, broken people that tends to get weirdly attached to the game, the brand they love preventing any level-headed critisim.
- Mods who ban people that are too critical toward games, especially games they love or games they're paid to defend.
- Gaming side being infested by threads about "female or trans victims working in the industry" where you had to bend the knee or get permabanned.
- Impossible to be critical around a popular game release, because the fanboys would ask for you to be ban in mass through mod PM.
- Passive agressivness when you don't like the same game as everyone, like "You don't like Gran Turismo, maybe you should play something like Sega Rally, it's more arcade (true thing I read last week)", while the lad was just saying that Forza was more his thing in Gran Turismo OT.

To make a long story short, it has nothing to do to racism, sexism, trans people, black people or Hillary Clinton.

I'm sure nobody - expect Gaf members themselves - gived a single shit about OT or political discussion on Neogaf. I wasn't a gaf member and I couldn't be happier to see the OT side of Neogaf die once and for all, it was a real pain to read most of the time. For one usefull information you had to swim hard against the current (suicide threads, emotional people telling the story of their pool life, depressing shit, dogpilling on people they thought were alt-right etc).
