Isn't he a member and friends making it a clear conflict of interest? Where is goobergate when you need them.

Conflict of interest usually arises when you report on a negatively perceived item which you seem to be positive for

It is all up in the air to be honest.

We have seen how quickly a forum can crumble - even a site as large and old as GAF.

What happens if ERA is big success and suddenly there is real money at play?

I just want a nice news aggregate. Actually posting there anymore was a chore unless it was venting about Dougie in Twin Peaks S3.

Its still early, but the front page of the "Gaming" side is just meta-threads and general site talk so far. I've had to load up general sub-reddits for now in the meantime.

I wonder if they will enforce the community threads posting news, most communities tend to keep stuff in their own individual threads.

What subs are you looking at I have r/gaming and then a few game specific ones I like.

Just specific gaming boards or platforms, and porn.

Any bets when GAF folds?

I think it's gone within 3-6 months.

Depends on Evilore's financial situation. If its bad, it'll probably be sold in less than a year. If not, it'll probably stay open as I'm sure the ad revenue will still be more than the expenses.


I will be surprised or even he is even offered more than $50k

I disagree.  I didn't think Zelda was that great at all.  It got really boring and repetitive after about an hour or too.  And the few dungeons that were in the game all literally had the same boss pretty much.  The game on its own isn't bad, but as a Zelda game, it really sucks and I really don't understand why it's getting so much high praise.
I'm with you all the way on that assessment.
My sole counterpoint would be that it's a *handheld* Zelda title, and it has easily one hundred hours of content while looking quite gorgeous. Just approach it from an Ubisoft fan perspective. Huge map, constant stream of "activities", loads of collectibles/unlockables, and due to the overly fragile weapons you're always busy with something or other.

If  I may, I'd like to add the over-reliance on the shitty inventory/pause screen to the top of the list of grievances. That's the only thing I just cannot get used to.

The weapon fragility is one of my main gripes. I don't even mind that they're breakable, but they are really way too flimsy. That's not even realistic. Swords don't break very often. They just get dull and chip and can be fixed. If they wanted to make it more realistic, they would've added forges in different towns where you could repair your equipment for rupees. Which would actually make people mine for rupees and keep playing the game more.

Realism isn't really the reason for that design choice, but "we need to counter-balance that you can go and pick up items anywhere you want, in no particular order". There should have been more Master Sword-esque alternatives for really hard sidequests or something I think. Or maybe hard to find materials to turn a single weapon permanent.

Already finished it.  Did all the shrines and beasts and all too.  I wouldn't say "loads" of collectibles, the only thing to collect was really the Korok seeds.  I don't count weapons and stuff because of the fragility and breaking.  And the game left such a bad taste, that I have no desire to check out any of the DLC that I pre-ordered.  Even the DS Zelda games were better than BOTW to me,  and they weren't that great either.

It's annoying because most of the weapon drops are shit, so when you find the good ones (great flame blade, great frost blade, great thunderblade) you barely even want to use them for fear of breaking. Now that I got the master sword, I use it 90% of time.

It's somewhat amazing that evilore's strategy is to remain quiet (post-"STATEMENT"), with mods that are invisible and do not address any concerns raised by even the few loyalists. All signs point to this being a terrible idea, if not the thing that caused this crisis in the first place. Nero fiddled.

You just don’t understand how the whole game is an allegory for white supremacy. Link represents a white Jesus figure led around by a Becky, using the weapons of white supremacy to tear down the original people of Hyrule by appropriating their culture, skills, and magic.

His only weakness is white fragility, represented by the weapon durability.

Yeah, but it's only my number two gripe.

Entering the inventory during a fight breaks immersion and intermittently pauses the game, which destroys the flow -and any semblance of challenge. Unless an incoming hit will oneshot you even at fully boosted health, you can always pause right up to the very last frame and eat some crap to survive it. Which makes the unbearably annoying cooking mechanic even worse. You have to have a good supply of food on hand. So you have to cook. Which consists of a wild mix of button presses in a terrible UI, topped with a skippable animation and popup window. All around terrible.

Number three for me is that arrows are consumables instead of bombs. You genuinely need bombs like once in a blue moon, but arrows are in constant demand. Yet you have infinite (uselessly specialised) bombs and need to gather or buy your arrows like some shrub. Can't even craft them... I think. The best way to acquire them is stand in the field like a doofus and let archer enemies shoot at you while you hide behind a shield. Zero challenge, no actual gameplay, boring stuff. A cooking recipe using some firewood and flint would be a welcome mod.

Honestly, that's where GAF started to lose me. Yes, the news was buried in the thread. But generally if someone asked "what is the latest?" Someone would post the news again. It kept the topics active IMO compared to the "new news, new thread" structure.

And mostly how much more he himself could fuck this up. I thought that the original fallout could have made GAF somewhat decent for news aggregation and fun comments. You know, with all the toxic mods and moronic purity testers gone. But now this shit is just creepy, with the invisible mods, "don't talk about things" and EL's presence creeping over the whole thing (while I can't say that in prior years I cared or even knew what that dude did behind the curtains, which didn't really matter).

Reagan was as much of a white supremacist, and he really wasn't any less blatant, but Trump has ascended in an era where the general public is far more willing to applaud open appeals to white ethnocentrism. That's the difference, and it's a key one that now figures into the growing danger we're witnessing under his administration.


Some of you guys need to finally understand that actions are way more important than fucking words. Trump is an idiot loudmouth that hasn't done shit, Reagan's actions were just evil. He vetoed the fucking Anti-Apartheid Act ffs and his war on drugs destroyed entire black communities. FUCK Reagan, Trump is the Che Guevara of our generation compared to that evil fuck.

The number one predictor of the health, happiness, and success of someone born in 2017 in America is the wealth of that person’s parents.  Money is what truly separates people, not sex, race, or religion.

White people are not sith lords or Harry Potter wizards.  Those who peddle that myth on both sides are selling a dagerous fantasy to the maladjusted.

I actually support that kind of. Too many losers going back to 2007 and showing receipts for some shit someone said when Bush was President.

Also, too lazy to make another post... but on the side topic of lootboxes, they are indeed evil, but I don’t buy them and there are still plenty of decent games that don’t have or require them. But if you spend $15K on lootboxes, you should get a handy from Jade Raymond.

Not to mention opinions evolve. For better or worse. Going back ten years and using it as dirt is insane.

The weapon fragility is one of my main gripes. I don't even mind that they're breakable, but they are really way too flimsy. That's not even realistic. Swords don't break very often. They just get dull and chip and can be fixed. If they wanted to make it more realistic, they would've added forges in different towns where you could repair your equipment for rupees.

Yeah, I hated that. I hated that you had to go into the inventory to drop or unequip a weapon when it's raining and things like that. It let's you do certain things on the fly, but not others, which is puzzling. And then you have all the different menus, with two different buttons for different parts of the menu. The UI is very clunky.

I disagree about the arrows, I found bombs more useful, but that may be a preference thing. I have collected enough arrows from enemy drops to get me through whatever I need to do. I use bombs all the time to mine for gemstones, so I don't have to break my weapons.

I think the cooking system is flawed. What's the point of giving you ingredients like rock salt when there's zero benefit in trying to actually cook up something decent? I have 90+ rock salt in my inventory, and I don't even bother selling it because it's worthless. Most of the time cooking up 5x of the same ingredient will give you the most potent meal.

I believe there was Figure GAF and Actuon figure Gaf at one point. Action figure being articulated and and figure being statues of anime girls.

I post in action figure GAF, and unfortunately there is a lot of statue talk after figure GAF was killed AND too many people dropping mortgage money on hot toys instead of cheaper 1/12 stuff.

I have hard time believing everyone will continue to be this nice and respectful. Boredom will set in and they will lose their minds again.

Don't worry.

It's only a matter of Lime.

Which version of Lime is this? The one from the Denmark or maybe the Midwest US or LA? We lose track sometimes.

So they have a thread up on an ex-Bioware developer who I'm pretty sure is this special individual.


Lets see if anyone calls him out, shall we? I'm guessing no.



I’ll call him out here.  Those who view everything through the prism of race are the problem.  The followers of both Richard Spencer and
Ta-Nehisi Coates are two sides of the same coin. 

Quote
This, more than anything, is what is so unsettling about Mr. Coates’s recent writing and the tenor of the leftist “woke” discourse he epitomizes. Though it is not at all morally equivalent, it is nonetheless in sync with the toxic premises of white supremacism. Both sides eagerly reduce people to abstract color categories, all the while feeding off of and legitimizing each other, while those of us searching for gray areas and common ground get devoured twice. Both sides mystify racial identity, interpreting it as something fixed, determinative and almost supernatural. For Mr. Coates, whiteness is a “talisman,” an “amulet” of “eldritch energies” that explains all injustice; for the abysmal early-20th-century Italian fascist and racist icon Julius Evola, it was a “meta-biological force,” a collective mind-spirit that justifies all inequality. In either case, whites are preordained to walk that special path. It is a dangerous vision of life we should refuse no matter who is doing the conjuring.

This summer, I spent an hour on the phone with Richard Spencer. It was an exchange that left me feeling physically sickened. Toward the end of the interview, he said one thing that I still think about often. He referred to the all-encompassing sense of white power so many liberals now also attribute to whiteness as a profound opportunity. “This is the photographic negative of a white supremacist,” he told me gleefully. “This is why I’m actually very confident, because maybe those leftists will be the easiest ones to flip.” [the organiser of the Charlottesville demonstration had been an occupy Wallstreet leftist].

However far-fetched that may sound, what identitarians like Mr. Spencer have grasped, and what ostensibly anti-racist thinkers like Mr. Coates have lost sight of, is the fact that so long as we fetishize race, we ensure that we will never be rid of the hierarchies it imposes. We will all be doomed to stalk our separate paths.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/06/opinion/ta-nehisi-coates-whiteness-power.html?smid=tw-share&_r=1

It also distracts from the real struggle.  The number one predictor of the health, happiness, and success of someone born in 2017 in America is the wealth of that person’s parents.  Money is what truly separates people, not sex, race, or religion.

White people are not sith lords or Harry Potter wizards.  Those who peddle that myth on both sides are selling a dagerous fantasy to the maladjusted.

I don't disagree that the biggest cure for ours sickness is to work towards greater income equality it would be folly to think racism and identity don't still play a part in people's lives.

If that weren't the case, why then was there such an issue with different named people in the Northern Euro countries like Norway?

Quote from: Damien469
Trump is the closest thing America has had to a Nazi in the White House (and hopefully the last), and to support him is to support white nationalism. That's LITERALLY how he got elected, a bunch of ignorant dirt farmers decided that being gay wasn't okay and voted him in, thanks to Russian interference

 :trumps


Reagan was as much of a white supremacist, and he really wasn't any less blatant, but Trump has ascended in an era where the general public is far more willing to applaud open appeals to white ethnocentrism. That's the difference, and it's a key one that now figures into the growing danger we're witnessing under his administration.


Some of you guys need to finally understand that actions are way more important than fucking words. Trump is an idiot loudmouth that hasn't done shit, Reagan's actions were just evil. He vetoed the fucking Anti-Apartheid Act ffs and his war on drugs destroyed entire black communities. FUCK Reagan, Trump is the Che Guevara of our generation compared to that evil fuck. OK, I might exaggerate a bit, but you get the point.

I mean the dude threatens nuclear war over twitter  :dayum


Ahem:

Some of you guys need to finally understand that actions are way more important than fucking words.

He's helping to actively destroy the EPA and all of about almost 50 years of work and science.

Lime was one of the worst aspects of GAF and should be banned on sight.
Is the other Lime that posted the EA dev thread on resetera the same, actual Lime?

Didn't expect that thread from Lime. I agree with him on one thing though, online harassment sucks. It's fine mocking someone on one forum but to actively send hate messages and dox etc. that sucks.

He was a horrible hyperbolic shitposter on GAF and pissed many people off. It's just like real life, if you want people to like you, be nice instead of being a condescending prick.

There's no Captcha. You need a code.
