[ZephyrFate]

HIV, and even AIDS, rarely kills people in western countries with access to medicine. The medicine itself is available to those without the funds to acquire it, through subsidized insurance plans and state healthcare options.

So no, you are wrong here.

Let me jump in here: My "airquotes" was because of this. It doesn't matter that it's "undetectable" in the US/western countries. The fact is: It's still a killer virus if you don't have those meds. The fact that the meds lengthen your life on them, is great and all. But you still have an incurable deadly/terminal virus.

It does matter when it's undetectable. Numerous studies, including those published recently, prove that HIV men who are undetectable (the majority of those infected) CANNOT transmit the virus.

The virus is not classified as deadly/terminal in Western countries/the US. So that's fallacious reasoning and arguing. PrEP exists. Take it.

Yeah, i didnt pay too much attention around the time all the drama broke, but after a few minutes of looking, im wondering how that forum managed to blow up immediately.

It didn't though, they spent nearly a week organizing it as an EXCLUSIVE CLUB and thousands of GAFfers said "yeah alright, I'll wait to post there" because they're addicted to the "community" they constantly want to cast people/groups out of.

Forums without conflict are boring because everyone agreeing isn’t a topic worth reading past the first couple of posts.

Define conflict? Differing opinions are good; needless trolling and shitposting is fun; sometimes though serious conversation is great.

Speaking of which I can't help but notice are resident MAGA AMERICA #1 poster isn't posting nor was he serious in the politics thread.

I was a lurker for years too.

[close]

Alright, alright! Just so everyone knows, it was this post that pulled me from the guest list and made me sign up in earnest!  Blame Pepinappe! I didn’t see an introduction thread, so hopefully this isn’t out of line.

Unlike most of you, I’ve never been an actual member of NeoGAF; however, I did lurk the hell out of the place since at least 2006. At first I was content to watch from the sidelines, but around 2013 or so I finally tried my hand at signing up, but my account was never confirmed.

So most of my experience with GAF is from far away, all the while observing interesting folks like Ethelred, Segata Sanshiro, Anihawk and Vinnk, and laughing my ass off at megaton/meltdown threads like Dragon Quest 9 going to DS or Devil May Cry 4 going multi-platform. It was amazing. Essentially, I was dragged in by Sales-Age, and stayed for the people. (I remember you KING MOKU- and I remember your moku train, too!)

The forum got to be like a warm blanket that was always there no matter what, and it was a great time killer- checking GAF for news or reading those bizarrely intricate Mama Robotnik threads about Eternal Darkness or Legacy of Kain was just too addicting.

The downward slide of the last few years, even to an outsider, has been impossible to miss. Seeing so many familiar faces here and over at the new ReinvigoratedEpeens forum has given me fuzzy feelings, though I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling a little melancholy over seeing GAF go full modern day Simpsons before our very eyes.

As a small aside, those Evilore/ Tenumi ban images and the Hitokage talk a few pages back got me thinking of that time. Despite going to PonyGAF directly to invite them to make submissions for that NeoGAF T-shirt contest he was running around then, it was quite a surprise when EL just unloaded with anger on that community the way he did. Most of PonyGAF ended up walking on eggshells around the OT and changed avatars after that, but then this post was made, 2 months after Hitokage passed away:

http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=134690704

It’s an oddly humble moment for someone known for being so goddamned immature and pompous and I can’t help but wonder where things would be now if this Dr. Jekyll version of Tyler would have stepped forward and engaged the GAF community last weekend.

Anyway, thanks to everyone here at the Bore for making it easier to pull away from zombie GAF. I’ll stick around for sure.

And uh...FFIV = FFVI = FFIX > FFVII > FFXV  > FFXIV and the rest kinda blur together. My favorite spinoff is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles The Crystal Bearers. Waggle aside, the story is tight and fun and not overly wrought like modern FF. Plz no ban.

It's been apparent for years that the orthodoxy on GAF takes a closed minded, almost belligerent approach to social ills, with a nasty streak of "guilty until proven innocent" rhetoric. (Unless you're Amir0x duping the community into giving you drug money, apparently that's cool with a lot of people on here.) Still, I never expected to see such upheaval over an unproven accusation. I've seen some of my favorite posters here say they will never post of GAF again because of this.

This is like the weirdest thing to include in a post trying to exonerate Evilore

I see no jurors here.

You gotta admit though that it's pretty weird how Nintendo stubbornly continues to have Peach kidnapped game after game.  No reason that Bowser can't cause shenanigans without the whole "kidnapping royalty for companionship/sex" thing.

no, you don't: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=228262018&postcount=912

So, let's see....

-Performance clearly superior to a Raspberry Pi 3, probably.
-Built-in storage enough for installing as many as 1-2 games
-Voice comm requiring the use of an app on your cell phone
-Paid subscription online service feature list competitive with Heat.net
-Peripheral pricing so high and bizarrely lopsided with the initial hardware bundle that it makes buying a second Switch for parts a sensible option

...that's pretty dire, but it's still a much more compelling product than the Wii U at first reveal, simply by virtue of being a handheld. Might be somewhat more successful than the Wii U since it's not trying to leverage a poorly thought out archaic tablet as a unique selling point this time, but the cost of ownership is looking *astronomically* high. It's arguably higher than the major console competition, given the peripheral pricing, anemic built-in storage, low value paid online, etc., so it's abandoning a lot of the appeal that would otherwise come with being a handheld.

Handheld form factor and performance, but with $60 game pricing, paid online, tiny storage, and obscene peripheral costs. Worst of both worlds, arguably, and the mediocre mobile SoC isn't going to do it any favors when people hook it up to their living room setups. I seriously doubt I'll want to stretch out Switch games onto my 75" 4K HDR TV.

Not exactly situated to take the market by storm with all that and a very thin launch lineup. Not something that's easy to root for as a consumer, either, since Nintendo loaded up on anti-consumer business decisions here. It's telling that first shipment pre-orders are still available.

No.
