I think Jerry is our coolest new member and I'm not just saying this because I'm a Seinfeld stan.

But he's british tho.

Oops.

So they port over all the community threads except the fashion one 😡😤

Asking a GAFfer for fashion tips is like asking Jeffrey Dahmer for restaurant recommendations.

I admit I'm kind of surprised how smoothly the new forum seems to be running. I wonder how long the peace will last. I'm almost kind of unnerved by it waiting for disaster to strike again. After Trump won gaffers were kind of stunned, but then double downed on the vitriol to random members after a few days. Maybe losing gaf was more traumatic for them to change their behavior.

All the dips have been warning each other to be "deep cover."  Expect flameouts or long term trolls to be around for the next 12 months.  NeoGaF has tons of motivated haters.  That's why I'm using a fake name and email over there.  Resestaria is target number 1 for what (if anything) remains of Gamer Gate. 

Let's see if devoted Social Studies Warrior's (Used Ironically) can combat the nameless GG. But me?

(Image removed from quote.)

Are we still using that sad GG is under the bed trope defending folk who are (now, not back then but really who can be sure) CIA/DoD spooks? (Quinn and Sark the very least?)

Just check his twatter. 90% of his posts are dedicated to us lately. Talk about an obsession

Can't say I'm sad seeing GAF being slaughtered by ResetERA. It's cathartic. Somewhat pathetic.

Until the next greedy publisher/dev decides to fuck us in the ass with lootboxes!!!!!!!!!

Am I the only person that doesn't have an issue with those? I feel like gaf made that much bigger of a deal than they were.

Average GAFer in 2017 is an aging white dude in his mid-30s with a shitty low-wage IT job who has become super bitter than Final Fantasy (and other "ACTUAL GOOD GAMES") isn't the biggest title in the industry anymore. They overwhelmingly demand experiences from gaming that are most similar to those from their teenage years: linear, story-focused singleplayer experiences, yet when those games come out they refuse to buy them full price (because of their shit job). They don't have much going for them in their life besides video games.

They overwhelmingly believe industry trends like loot boxes are the work of "evil, greedy" corporation execs scheming ways to "milk" them out of more money in smoke-filled boardrooms, instead of a natural adaptation based on hard data from a customer base that waits for big discounts or buys used. They genuinely believe that there are grand conspiracies to force them to play bad games.

You'll commonly see them asserting that a developer "gutted" a game, removing content to be sold as DLC, demonstrating a startling lack of understanding about how games are actually made. Mods at Neogaf also actively allowed users to witchhunt devs ie "the person responsible for this!" on twitter, etc. despite their infamous zero-tolerance policies for similar tactics by gamegaters.

This all served to push most devs off of gaf after 2010 or so.

Second point is so misguidedly wrong is laughable. EA is, Activision does have the patent and they all tax dodge. Loot Crates are the last fucking gasp for very low talent coders and a lack of union/trade system protection. I would not be shocked that 2018 that the top game will still be GTA and RED Dead Redemption 2 with a large amount of Nintendo First party and some other mixture of dragon ball/yakuza 6 etc

[Kurt Russell]

Switching between the two I still find NeoGAF much easier to read.

These web 2.0 layouts are so garbo, imo.

Anyone seen some of the ideas being thrown around in the Resetera revenue thread?

I really think the ideal structure for a forum like this is a co-op. The site would be owned by the entire membership of the site, who would then elect a board of directors to actually run things.

 

[Novid]

Folks stop with the GG boogy man.

its been nearly four fucking years.

Because two people refused to get relationship counseling, everybody who dont trust the one of the leaders of helldump and a member of the dirtbag left who are all over the CIA doing meme work (NO im serious about this one) is a sexist?

Its so sad, i may be a bit crazy but I know a plot when i see it. the CIA did it before (Gloria Stienium/Funding Artwork to defeat Communism) why am I not shocked they doing it now.

Not to brag but I'll brag, you people are amateurs I already have 7 accounts registered with different IPs just to be sure.

I'm fine with them making some money. It won't all to one person and at least they seem like good people who won't ego trip and brag to us about how cool they are. But Gaf did rub me the wrong way. One person shouldn't profit off the hard work of others.

GG is and always was a cover. To me it never fucking existed.
There always will be sexism in the industry, that isnt a lie.
But having these folks change how the editors of these games sites are covering gaming is the real story.
If they were asking for better development sheds and a union for the developers and actual medical care insurance for women in the industry would this issue about GG be a thing?
Instead its censor censor censor and here the fuck we are.

GG started because a guy wanted to say some people who claimed to be all about social justice and feminism are actually messed up and abusive. I'd say he's been pretty well validated over the last couple of years

I'd say it truly started when NeoGAF, SA, 4chan, and Reddit all mass censored discussion on the whole Zoe Quinn thing. THEN a bunch of publications put up the "Gamers are dead!" spiel all at one time, revealing that these people collude (which I think was confirmed as the mailing list or whatever was leaked).

I'm still convinced that had the discussion not been censored, people would have gotten bored of it and GamerGate would have never happened.

Comic books seem to be going through a similar thing right now, though it was more or less started when Marvel changed a bunch of characters to claim diversity points. It didn't help that the new characters were badly written, either. Then you have the writers of these comics shitting on their fans at every turn pissing even more people off...

I swear, California seems like a creepy fucking place.
