My theories have literally gotten me gaming with the man. Multiple retweets. Hanging out with Low Roar. Mentioned on twitter.

There's literally no way I'm wrong at this point.

DS is MGS. There's no ifs ands or buts. It's not confirmation bias. It's pure truth. This isn't the first ARG I've solved, and it's not the last.

And I think you'll find there's less fans who want a new IP, than those who want more MGS.

p.s. i'm friends with kojima because of my theory so that's how I know it's true lol

Translation:

Off-Topic section is well and truly fucked. You can request one thread each that can be resurrected but only from the last month.
However, we will check the thread for any information that exposes EviLore, so bear that in mind.

If you can link the thread you want to return, that would make it easier for us to halfass something we decided to go the extra mile about.

We'll be making a sticky in OT to make it easier. If you PM, you'll be banned.

Is there no PMs on slaent?

I can't even figure out the basics of forum navigation over there and here you are asking this nonsense.

[Leadbelly]

I know it is Reset Era, but I kind of keep pronouncing it as one word. It doesn't help that they named their off-topic, et cetera. Now I think it is right to pronounce Restera the same way.

Restera kind of sounds like a horror movie where a family move to an island called resetera that is meant to be a perfect utopia. It turns out to be a crazy cult that has lured the family there ready for the great sacrifice. a bit like The Wickerman I guess

[clothedmacuser]

From one of the ones someone linked to already:

It's absolutely necessary. In fact, I think we should even have an option to display what our race is as well. If we're having a discussion that involved minority groups, we should know which people have the opinions that actually matter to the discussion. If someone is a white male, we know that they don't have the insight to participate on a discussion about police brutality, or something of the like. As it is right now, people might erroneously assume everyone is a cis white male, which isn't good for discussion. We need to know who here actually has a viewpoint that contributes to those discussions.

Jesus Tittyfucking Christ.

"we should know which people have the opinions that actually matter"

This is bigoted, stupid as hell, and just vile.  Pure thought, like no one can consider an issue and formulate an opinion on it purely in their mind, they have to also match a certain standard in the mirror to be deigned to allow to share that opinion in a discussion.

The thread was locked, but what madness.

Whoa...I'm now reading the whole MGS/DS conspiracy thread, and this rabbit hole goes way deeper than I expected.

So apparently the whole Konami beef with Kojima is an elaborate ruse, and Metal Gear Survive is indeed a Kojima game.

(Also, I misgendered FutaSnake in my previous post, for which I apologize.  Just assumed someone doing the whole alpha-nerd thing was male.)

I have not seen one suicide account. Shits incredible.

So much love for everyone involved.

Honest question: has anything alike been this successful this fast?

Amazing how active and positive the community has been so far. Feels so fresh and so clean around here.

It is one of the greatest success stories on the internet I've ever seen, and in a political climate such as we have these days, it feels so, so good that this story had a happy ending. I needed that.
