Slayven is the worst IOC all of us

How did he or she become a mod?

Just one liner stupid comments one after another on every topic.

They are like the lead character from Death Note. The sad face was a typo but I am leaving it in.

If this angry human with nothing to say is moderating any community, then please ban me. Having a moderator that is a troll, is not conducive to a healthy community.

I've gotta admit, that was an effective framing for the closure. He's right, they would close it if it were targeting a normal member.

I know you read this place, Enzom, so just know that people don't give a shit about your skin color, they just hate you because you're a paranoid twat.

Never had a C64 so no appeal to me.  I want an Apple IIgs mini but Apple is shit so something like that will never happen.  :'(

As much as I’d love some sort of Apple II take on these, those were more actual computers than game systems. I think they’d be a harder sell to the mass market, and might only really be tempting to people that grew up with them and the true Apple hardcore.

Isn't that the same thing with the C64?
:confused

You really think an Apple II take on this would cost less than 100 bucks?

Don't know that he would have gotten a perm for making a thread attacking a normal member, though. Especially if it was a problem member.

Now, attacking a Resettlement Advisor or excel, on the other hand...

I have a couple theories as to why Era won't activate the Like Post system.

First, if they "action" a post, do they have to "action" all the people that liked the post? I have seen them ban people that responded and agreed with a post they actioned. But what if an actioned post had 50 likes? Would they go and action all 50 people?

And secondly, it would allow the suppressed viewpoints to let their numbers be known by throwing their weight behind certain posts. A post expressing that maybe Daniel Vavra isn't the spawn of the devil? 200 likes later, and they have a problem. People can see how much the userbase disagrees with the mods.

In short, they probably feel like it would make controlling the culture of their site and shaping it to their will more difficult. So they just keep it deactivated.

Like feature is kind of pointless though. It's fun in small communities, not so much for massive discussion. Plus all the brigading that would ensue would be exhausting for anyone involved and would probably disrupt the forums and community threads.

It's not a reddit upvote/downvote system. Brigading would be pointless.

So you'd rather have a post quoted a million times to show support, like what happens now?

Instead of a million people quoting your post with a period or a clapping .gif, it's all consolidated to likes within your post. Much cleaner, even especially for a large community.

You honestly think a board filled with attention demanding, thirty for validation "personalities" and "opinion leaders" wouldn't brigade the shit out of a popularity contest mechanic ? Or that some will not engage "like" wars with any popular wrong think post ?
I'm skeptical it would slow down mass quoting, if anything they'll like AND quote.

But it would be great entertainment for us. :trumps

From what I've experienced, far too many Japanese people have a hard time fully humanizing black people, and easily excuse racism and negative generalizations towards them. Since Japan is homogenous, that's mostly due to popular Western media and our historical marginalization and stereotyping of racial minorities in film, while in contrast over-empathizing with and even extolling the vices of any and all white characters. It sends a message-- we export our biases and misconceptions to societies with very few comparable experiences in their day-to-day life.

Maybe none of this applies to Kojima, though.

First, I didn't say it's pathetic to engage in unimportant things. I said it's pathetic to feel like you're better than someone because your unimportant thing you like is better than their unimportant thing they like.

And insofar as you make fun of shills for being shills, whatever. That's making fun of shilling. Like that Monster Hunter sales thread where people were lamenting its good sales because it isn't on their favorite system. That's a good time to make fun of shilling like that. When you start dick-measuring FPS and resolution between your favorite console and theirs in some effort to prove how much worse they are than you, that's where you've become just as sad and pathetic as the console warring shills.

For the record, I don't think all superfans are sad and pathetic, just the ones that engage in console warring. It's fine to have favorite things.

Nintendo dorks on GAF/Era get the same preferential treatment as some of the shining stars on OT,  but subjecting yourself to those threads is like bashing your head against a wall. It's the same bullshit over and over again.

They can brigade communities, they can port beg, the bulk of them petitioned in earnest that an Iwata banner should replace one for LGBT month which involved threatening staff iirc etc. They're terrible and act like children.

People honestly pretend like their Switch is "perfect" for everything, whether it be to delude themselves or because they lack the self-awareness to realize how ridiculous they are.There's people who post about how they "use their Switch at the gym", argue that it fits perfectly in their pocket, drone on about how it's the definitive way of playing games etc.

Even within the fighting game community, they are notorious for reeking like shit and everyone involved throws temper tantrums @ fans/players/sponsors/devs. The melee crowd even moreso.

They're just a bunch of manchildren. Nintendo makes good games, but their fans are flaming garbage.
Other than the broad brush you're using, I don't really disagree with anything that you're saying. In fact, I've noticed how, a decade ago, Nintendo fans were known as the nice fans. There was even some comic during the Wii/PS3 launch period that highlighted how much nicer Nintendo fans were. Now, they're dipped so far into the left wing that they're total dicks to anyone who isn't right there with them, including moderates. I know it's weird to tie console preference to politics, but just going off of my observations of Era, the most ardent Nintendo fans also tend to be the most hostile posters when it comes to politics.

So no, I don't really disagree with you (again, except for the broad brush you're using). What I was calling pathetic was the people on the previous page making fun of Switch owners being glad a game was coming to their favorite system, because the resolution is worse. That's what's pathetic.

"A game you want is coming to the console you prefer."
"Oh, sweet!"
"LOL, what a loser."

Gaming has never been better.
Nearly all forum dwelling gamers who console war, complain and nitpick are dickheads.

We get good 2D Sonic sequels and an amazing Dragonball Z game. Plus a mini SNES that you can hook up to any TV with HDMI.
Also DOOM, Cyberpunk, Smash Bros. Ultimate... Battletoads and Metroid Prime will return. Japanese games sell a fuck ton on Steam.
A Resident Evil 2 remake that looks like it was a gift from heaven. Oh and broken games like No Mans Sky even get fixed. Fuck yeah.

If that isn't a sign that gaming is going in the right direction... I don't know what is.  :idont


Remember what it was like to play a SNES game, say Mega Man X without using an emulator?
- Find a SNES that works
- Find a TV that still has ancient connection options
- Find a cable that works, or buy a modded one from ebay
- Hook up a bunch of wires and dongles
- Find a working SNES controller
- Find a cartrdige that matches your SNES region that still has a working save battery and/or doesn't cost $200

All I need now is a USB port and I can play Mega Man X on a 4K TV.  :hyper
If I'm bored I can switch channels and start a game Mario Kart 8 Deluxe  within minutes.
Bored of that, I switch to the Xbox One X to play some HALO or Nier or whatever.

At work? Don't worry. Just boot up Steam and start DOOM. Have fun playing.
I don't even have to go out to buy games. If I don't want to play myself I can watch professional tourneys of fighting games, FPS games, strategy games and whatnot.
Hell, I could even make money playing games if I wanted to.

But all people do is complain and whine about lazy devs and bad publishers. While we're living in the golden age of gaming.

Sure, some people like to call everything "perfect" for Switch. And with enough people doing that often enough, I get that it can be annoying.

But the fact of the matter is, for a lot of people, anything for the Switch is better than anything for any other system.

Let me give you an example. Last year, I had a 1.5 hour commute, each way. 3 hours of travel on a train. Some of it I would get work done, but a lot of the time I wouldn't feel like it after a long day. So any game was "perfect for Switch," for me, because Switch was the only thing I had time to play.

There are a lot of people like that--which is why handhelds have almost always sold better than home consoles.

So when people say a game is "perfect for Switch," yeah, some of them are annoying shills, but for a lot of people, they just mean it's perfect for them.

That "white people made Japanese people racist" reminds me of that one thread on GAF where black people were convinced that white people tricked the asians into adopting European beauty standards through cultural imperialism or something.  And Backslashbunny and some other asian chick were like "Uhhh hey, wait a second...we have our own sense of beauty.  White people didn't give it to us" and all the black dudes were like "No, you simple one.  Your sense of sex appeal only comes from the white man."   Whitey always messing with those asians.
