Image & Form, the creators of the masterful SteamWorld Dig 2, launched the game with this icon:

But after listening to the fans, they quickly changed it to this stunning piece of art:

The difference is undeniable. The new icon is simply gorgeous, and makes my carefully curated Switch collection look 100x higher in quality.

i hope recettear picks up the slack to keep this thread ticking over because GAF is just depressing now. it's got a vibe like a department store that was big in the 80s and is now only frequented by the elderly and the infirm.

unlike this place, which was never big.

It really fucking does jesus. I might honestly have to use the other site as my RSS feed at work for gaming news lmao

Like shopping in Sears today. Or K-Mart to be more accurate.
Recetter is more like Trader Joe's.

What would this site be? Adult World?

There's no war between either forum and us.

This site and us have been around while NeoGAF was around, I'm not sure how things are any different with... well, two NeoGAFs around

That's what I meant - if they are at war, I'm happier here.

I'll be honest, don't think Resetera will last as long as some of y'all think.

In a few weeks a lot of the 3000 people posting will just give up. It won't be exciting anymore, it doesn't have exactly everything they would want, and they'll move on. I hope it's a success for the people involved but I'll give it a few weeks before I say so.

Either way even if it continues to exist with half the member that's a major blow to GAF (the hits keep on coming) which will never be like it was before this mess anyway. So that's cool.

The design is still godawful. Looks like a web 2.0 version of an early aughts free forum toolkit.

I agree.  The biggest issue they have right now is they got way too many mods and admins for the size of forum they're talking about.  So you're going to get a lot of them stepping on each other's dicks and it's going to create a bunch of e-drama once a mod bans someone on another mod's protected list.

SA has banned nearly 23 thousand people since it opened.  :o

Also, I just realized gaf has finally caught up to the same amount of registered users as SA (both around 200k).

I fully understand that the owners of this domain have all the power at this point and they'll do what they want. That said, what do people think of the possibility of setting this up as a non-profit corporation? It undoubtedly serves a public purpose. Donations or contributions would be tax deductible, everyone working on the site could be paid competitive wages, and any profits would be put back into the site for use however the community decides.

you can edit posts without the "edited by" message showing now, they turned it off to hide the mods

You can give "stealth edit" priveldges to specific user groups in VBulletin... it's really fucking amazing how NeoGAF has been using a Vbulletin 3.x backend for 10+ years and yet they barely seemed to have ever bothered to look into the featureset.

Enjoy the new beer thread, man. Missed the sign up window while I was out having dinner. Oh well!

Kagari wasn't the worst mod, but it was easy to see how she was way more immature and fanboy-like than the others in the staff, a typical shitposter. The idea she couldn't stand the idea of not having mod powers is pretty funny.

I want to be honest for a sec here. Its the overall bullshit right now...

The Social Studies Warriors imo will soon be run by the gangs (if they not already in the Latinx by ms-13 and the like) because what it seems to me is that they cant rely on the Dems big tent. I have been noticing something very fucking strange, but it made sense with the whole 21 Savage joining the whole Slut Walk thing - in order for these folks to even have their way in the dialogue, they need some way to enforce the ideal in the short term.

The sad truth is that the ethnic gangs are the only ones that have the money outside of the rich donors for the SSW to even exist for this long. The Antifa thing the FBI knew in April of 2016, FBI also made statements that there is a Black Extremist Movements (the way they phrase it is a massive dog whistle to be honest, but there still the crips and the bloods, and the other smaller gangs that surround as muscle for BLM, even though they VEHEMENTLY disagree with some of BLM solutions concerning queer folk) The Dems and the SSW are gonna break up in 2018 and where is the latter going to go?

They are making a massive bet that Hollywood/Silicon Valley will have better representation of ethnic groups/women after this Harvey mess, but they are in for a rude fucking awaking. And many of those groups in these liberal colleges are all going to go back to their communities. You think they dont have a game plan with all the connections they have from college? Its share and share alike.

Plus footnote to all this, how the fuck these SSW prostitutes (actual prostitutes, escorting is still prostitution) getting there cash to live from especially if there ethnic and especially they in the LBGT community? The dude from Evergreen when he gets back home has 6 or 7 "generous men" lined up and at least 5 have had priors or connected to the gangs, and they are on the DL and they keep secrets like we see with rentacenter.

Fucking Blare White and Riley Davis were both prostitutes before they became woke on each end and their partners were former clientele. Fuck out of here with this e-celeb bullshit. All the SSW wants is a leader that can kill these "Nazi's" en masse and they will follow them to the ends of the earth. Thats why the FBI is trying to get the gangs out first before this takes place.

so you ARE the novid I was thinking of

the demon in the flesh and not a moment too soon.

There's no war between either forum and us.

This site and us have been around while NeoGAF was around, I'm not sure how things are any different with... well, two NeoGAFs around

If it makes you feel better some of us put in a good word; they seem more chill about you guys when I mentioned it in the discord.

Honestly they were livid at evilore destroying good communities because of his fuckery than anything else.

Nope. And no way in hell am I going to use a paid email. Not after GAF, although to be fair, I never paid for that email either as it was from an old workplace.  :lol
