Imagine having to come up with an elaborate conspiracy theory to explain why your man didn't really get embarrassed in a rap battle, he actually won but you have to be reallly smart to realize it. lmaooo

I doubt there are many dudes in entertainment who didn't fuck Kim, pre-Kanye. She was community pussy. If you're black and had some type of success in music or film over the last 10 years, the odds of you fucking a Kardashian are probably higher than the odds of you having a family member with high blood pressure.

Yikes.

I actually watched that John Oliver segment

The end where he talks about beyond the danger of astroturfing, the danger of cynicism, where you believe everyone who doesn't agree with you is astroturfing, and how that's toxic?

Man that almost rings a bell

Waluigi is a communist and so fundamentally disagrees with and refuses to take part in Wario's exploitation of labour in Wario Ware.

It always catches me off guard when I read "communist" and it's not being used as a pejorative.

Hmmm... Calling the majority's opinon crazy conspiracy theories and then using pre-determined party line key words....

I feel like I've seen that somewhere else recently but I can't quite pinpoint where... I must be too exhausted

Holy shit

Nicole, did you really use the alt rights tactic of dismissing concerns as "Crazy conspiracy theories".

I haven't been keeping up with this thread, how is ZattMurdock doing these days?

Not zatt but

So I just finished reading every page of this thread. This change sucks and the reasons are dubious at best. The admin posts with the reasoning read like gaslighting, sorry.

So pathetic

I used to get these all the time at the old place too. But I've been having them more and more (back to back tbh). It is very vague, but from what I can make out, the dream typically starts out with me waking up and checking my mobile device to see a banned message in big red text.

And then, I actually wake up sweating, breathing really hard. My chest pounding..... then, irl, I frantically check the site through my mobile phone and smile and laugh to myself. "Heh, not today..." (In a very edgey voice with my eyes closed like an anime character) Or something similar I usually say.

The funny thing about my nightmares is that they always play out the same way, but I never know what I was banned for? Like, I can't read the red text bar at the top of my post?

Anyways, anyone else have nightmares like this?

There's a very close connection between and russians, and neogaf, and era, well, probably benji.

#levity in one of those.

There was a guy that frequented my LCBGS. He would come in on D&D night with his D20, character sheet, monster manual, and swedish fish and act like he was a party member in a campaign 5 tables away. It was weird watching him strain to follow the plot, scribbling notes and rolling dice to perceived encounters. You remind me of him.

Has any of them even commented on the fact that they're hiding posts and views counts for that thread? It's fucking hilarious TBH.

[VomKriege]

I agree. I worry that this will further divide the people who post here "just for fun and games lol" and the people who care about important aspects of our society. Just seems like an easy-way-out for people that have bad political views and want to just "talk about games and movies".

I understand why Videogames are separate from everything else, because this is a gaming forum first and foremost, but the progressive politics the majority of the posters on this site share are an important part of Era and I don't think politics should be shoved to the side and be completely avoidable by most users if they want to. It's something people should have to face to at least some degree even if they decide not to post in those threads.

Because resetera is a bold new forum that practises civil and open discussion on the issues that the gaming community faces, as well as moderation and administration transparency so that all users can feel included and heard.

I mean I for one love resetera and I find their decision to hide that information most peculiar, and it definitely doesn't resonate with my experience of resetera being a spectacularly well-run and friendly enthusiast forum.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/my-nephew-10-yo-played-through-botw-twice-and-doesnt-know-what-the-triforce-is.65960/

Yesterday I realized something when playing with my sister's kids. We were drawing with crayons and without further reason I drew a Triforce and showed it to my nephew, asking him if he recognized it, because he had beaten Ganon that very day... and he shrugged and said No. First I thought he was joking, but when we further talked about it, he explained that he "knew it was from Zelda somehow", but had no idea what it was, what it was called or what its significance was.

It was such a bewildering thing for me to witness, because ever since I started playing Zelda with Ocarina of Time, where the role of the Triforce is very prominently explained relatively early in the game, the lore behind it has pretty much been etched into my mind and I was no older than him when I first played it.

He's 10, BotW's probably his first Zelda game, and dude's already expecting him to know about the lore of a game series that's 32 years old? Fucking Nintard.

Important edit: I am not complaining about my nephew not knowing what the Triforce is. I am expressing my surprise about how the Triforce, an important symbol of the series that has been around since the start, barely plays any role in the game at all so much that an entire new generation of Zelda players may not even know what it or its importance is. And how I never before realized because I am so familiar with the lore that it took the unique perspective of a newcomer to make me see how the Triforce is pretty much absent from the game.

Sure Jan. 

[PogiJones]

This is approaching the issue from the perspective of making the forum approachable by the most amount of people possible. That is not what Era has ever been about, it's been about creating a discussion space for diverse voices. [Ed.  ]

To have posters that ignore politics/embrace right wing rhetoric posting in gaming discussions with minority posters as if one party doesn't view the other as lesser is straight up dangerous and fear inducing. [Ed. Who exactly views who as lesser?  Also, ] People want to be able to post comfortably without worrying that the individual on the other end wants to threaten their rights away.

That doesn't mean segment the forum to try to make it so politics never arises, it means those two groups of people shouldn't be using the same website at all.

Being in physical possession of the Triforce means you can fuck whoever you want, whenever you want, and there's not a damn thing anyone can do to stop you.

[VomKriege]

I'm not even sure how you can force people to not ignore issues / topics. Apart from incessantly nagging gaming topics with constant derails, of course. But even then they can't shit up every thread.

The sticky thread about the forum restructuration isn't even on top of the gaming section. It's still hilarious that gaming discussion is seen as such an inconvenience on a gaming forum.

There's now some dumb narrative in "Woke-world" that the alt-right falsely claimed the social studies warriors were outraged by the offensive 'jokes' in the new DOOM as a sort of shaming campaign.

Somehow I imagine his nephew “playing” the game consisted of this kid being practically shackled to the couch with this dude standing over him and screeching “help” on the correct way to play the game for hours at a time.

[Nabbis]

Lol it was one of their distinguished mentally-challenged fellow mods that was mad about the joke to begin with.

That's like half the mod team, you need to be more specific.

[BikeJesus]

I think this change is for the better. We shouldn’t be forced to read dozens of depressing or political topics just to find discussions on entertainment.

Bring on 2.0!

Likewise I hope this won't force me reading through dozens of depressing TV, movie, sports topics to get to the political world news that actually interest me. If this change can accomplish that fine, I just don't see it tbh... guess we'll know soon enough.

Still worried about the legacy themes,  since no word on that,  a small preview would have been nice...

They sure are afraid of talking about games without calling people alt-right every second post. And it's not like this is even on the line.

Reminder that John Krasinksi and his wife Emily Blunt are Hollywood’s latest conservative anglo darlings. John being in movies about Benghazi, now conservative Tom Clancy shit. Emily Blunt being in Dinsey(now owned by Fox, already had ties with hardcore republicans) movies and anti Mexico movies like Sicario.

Don’t be mad, I say the same shit every time Scientologist Michael Pena is in a movie.

There is an entire cadre of people on this site who pop into any thread about a TV show or movie that has a celebrity they think is a shitty person just to let people know they think said celebrity is a shitty person.

It's so bizarre
