Looks like it took 7 months for the 20 or so mods to grow a conscience and moderate comments about all races equally.

Ehh, theres currently a thread lambasting a white woman who was offended because someone said "white people are shit"

Quote
This raised the ire of a self-identified white woman in the audience who interrogated the panellists as to “what they think they have to gain” by insulting people who “want to read their stories.”

I mean, she isn't wrong? :yeshrug I've been saying that about the BLM movement assailing white folks with "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR US!? GIVE US YOUR LAND!!!" as "this shit isn't productive to getting people on your side" but I get meme'd as racist here. So... :yeshrug

Quote
“Because yet again, a good convo was derailed, white people centred themselves, and a POC panel was told to police it’s [sic] tone to make their message palatable to a white audience.”

I don't disagree that "tone-policing" should happen, but at the same time: Don't be surprised if you alienate an audience that is willing to listen. :yeshrug There's better ways of saying "white folks aren't helping us!!" that aren't "WHITE PEOPLE ARE SHIT AND SHOULD WALK INTO THE OCEAN TO BETTER THE WORLD!!!!"

Edit: Also miss me with this debate. I got patches to deploy. Later losers.

A friend knew Grimes when she lived in Montreal like a decade ago before she got big, and she told me she was a very nice and funny girl. Her real name is hilariously uncool sounding.

That resetera thread is so fucking weird, they are acting exactly like those creepy j-pop fans when they learn that their idol has a secret boyfriend.
i met her multiple times in Canada when she was a "DJ" or trying to be one. she's actually pretty funny, and smart. She's kinda gone off the rails though lately. I find it hilarious how Ree is coming down on her, when it's Musk you gotta be asking dood what you doing? She's so ugly it's not even funny.

So last night I was vaping some weed and watching Westworld when I decided to grab some food from the gas station down the street. So I get an Italian baguette and sit at a bench listening to music while the attendant heats it up, when this weird guy comes into the store. The first thing he does is sit on the counter, which I think is weird, and he ask the attendant for a pack of cigarettes (or as I call them, ciggy wiggies). So he starts getting weirder as the attendant is trying to get him the brand he wants, says shit like "You're telling me they don't have that brand? Don't be a cocksucker". Before the attendant can even find the pack of cigarettes this guy ask for a deal on the cigarettes, and starts saying shit like he knows the owner, that he comes in all the time, that he spent $250 at the store this week. So i'm trying to ignore this situation and all but at this point this dude is being real weird and for a second I think maybe I should start recording the conversation or take a picture to show you guys, cause it's pretty funny how drunk this guy is. The attendant finds the cigarettes and rings it up on the register and the guy puts some money on the counter and asks for the cigarettes. From what I can see it is like two $5 notes and that's it, but I know from this dude's incredibly loud conversation that they cost $28. The attendant is like "dude, I can't give you the cigarettes unless it's the right amount." To which this guy replies "well what if I jump over the counter and grab them, as well as all the money in the register". This is when he reaches down the front of his pants and pulls out a 4inch knife and holds it in front of him. The attendant throws him the cigarettes. "Just go dude". The guy starts pushing candy from the front of the counter on the ground and starts wandering around knocking shit over. Eventually he reaches the front door, where there is a freezer. He opens the freezer and grabs some more shit to throw. I pick up the stool i'm sitting on and tell this dude to fuck off while the attendant is like "just leave it, it's fine", because what he is smart enough to realise, but I am not, is that I have re-escalated the situation. The guy looks at me and sees the metal stool i'm holding and walks back towards me with the knife.

At this point I realise that god is real and has heard my prayers, because he must have put this crackhead in my path so I can beat the shit out of him on CCTV. Unfortunately, this is also the moment I realise that if I accidentally kill this dude, I don't know the legality of killing in self-defense in Australia, and also, I am high as fuck on weed, which would not look good at my criminal trial. Plus i'm not sure I can swing at his head faster than he can stab me with this knife.  The guys comes within a foot of me and says something along the lines of "what're you gonna do". I put the stool down. "Just go dude". The guy picks up the metal stool, raises it above his head, and slams it down on the window to the ice-cream freezer, where it comically bounces off because that's plastic not glass dumbass. The guy glares at me one last time and walking backwards, leaves the store.

For your information, that's a heroin nose Artie Lang has. The coke was just an afterthought.

So now I am safe and I realise that adrenaline isn't made up, adrenaline is real, and my heart is beating even faster than when I beat off to pictures on Facebook. The attendant lets me know he's already pressed the emergency police batsignal button under the counter, and called his boss who lives nearby. He's like "dude if you want you can leave before the police come" but I figure I may as well stay to help give a description and do my civic duty and all that. Plus this guy still hasn't given me the italian baguette, which to be honest is overcooked at this point, because apparently this attendant sucks at multitasking. I tell him I suppose this thing happens all the time but he says it's his first time. An old guy comes in to buy fuel. "Just what I need" I think bitterly "just another guy whose head i'm not allowed to cave in with a stool". Eventually the police arrive, a man and a woman. Or should I say a man and a total smokeshow. She was 5'7", blonde hair in a ponytail, cute face, and she looked hot as fuck in her police uniform and stab-proof vest and all that. She flips open her notepad to get my details and some loose bits of paper fall out, we both bent down at the same time to pick them, and as we are on the floor we gaze into each other's eyes. Well, I gaze into hers anyway. Where the fuck is my italian baguette. She asks me some basic details like my name, birthday, address, I asked her how old she is and what she sees in an ideal partner. We started to hit it off and she asked me about my day, specifically all the events that happened in the last 30 minutes in chronological order. After that we start chit-chatting about what I could remember about what the perpetrator looked like and I could definitely feel some chemistry between us, because she was hanging off my every word. And writing a lot of it down!

She told me I couldn't leave until after a detective came, and then she went behind the counter to speak to the attendant with her partner. I was a little jealous because I couldn't see what was going on back there, but I wasn't worried though because the attendant was a little chubby and I figured there's no way he'd be able to cockblock me. I go over to the front counter and it is smeared with a little blood. I go to the freezer that the guy was about to grab shit out of and throw on the ground before I confronted him and he stopped wrecking shit. It's filled with tackle and fish-bait and stuff. I risked getting stabbed to prevent this store from losing a few bags of dead worms.

I like noses. It can be hot sometimes. I'm not a fan of button noses either so i don't mind a slightly pronounced beak.  :doge

The problem with noses is it never stops growing so if you have a fairly large one now it's only getting bigger.

The owner of the store arrives so I walk up to the automatic door to let him inside. He walks around to the other side of counter "so you were here when it happened?" he asks me. "Yes sir, I was here. In fact, the only reason I was here to witness the event at all was because your staff was heating up my ITALIAN BAGUETTE when the assailant entered". The owner opens up the benchtop convection oven. My baguette has been overcooked and looks slightly crispy, just the way I like it. "Don't worry i'll cook a new one". He throws the baguette in the trash, and starts cooking another. On the store radio, the song "All I Want Is You" by the band U2 starts playing. I have already been told directly by police that I cannot leave the store until they take my full statement. I was wrong. There must be a god, but not because he answers prayers, but only because right now surely I am in hell. The detective arrives. She is attractive, but also in her mid-thirties so my chances with her are very low. She asks to take my statement at the station, so the attendant and I get in the car. I get in the front seat, to establish my status over him. We talk a little and she laughs at one of my jokes. I am terrified she will notice that I am high, so I stop talking.

Marrec, you're being seriously weird in that Musk/Grimes thread dude.
Is your own life that miserable?

Like, one post about how much you disapprove is fine, but 50 of them? Come on.

I take any opportunity to hate on Musk, dudes a slightly less funny neo-libertarian Trump and people wash his balls because they think he’s going to save humanity through capitalism


Oh no, I partly agree with marrec. Musk as a businessman is a prick that exploits recent trends like green energy to make money. As a person though he actually seems like a romantic both in his personal life and some of his projects which only reinforces my opinion that capitalism and what is needed to succeed in it turns people into psychopaths and whores.

We had a rapport and he invited me to do an AMA on Kotaku some time ago (should be searchable in our archives) which was handled fairly well and protected from coordinated trolling attempts launched against it (phew, that internet...) by their AMA mods there. Kotaku used to be banned as a source on GAF for a long time, but I unbanned them when they seemed a little more legitimate, I personally cooled off our community on the Kotaku hate to give them a chance and not hate for hate's sake and established friendly relations proactively.

And then the above. I don't think I said anything on the boards at the time about this (couldn't realistically), but it was rather disappointing behavior that stood out as one of the most cowardly and duplicitous from a public name in the gaming scene at the time.

Happily shilling his book on Neogaf one day, a regular here for years, and asking me favors at the time ---> getting ahead of all the legitimate outlets (who actually took some kind of time to research and fact check and source properly at least) so Kotaku could run a trashy smear article first w/ Jason's "should have seen the warning signs sooner" a couple days later?

Kotaku's story was the first main press coverage and fueled the fire of the *intense* witch hunt undoubtedly. That witch hunt went after a bunch of people, and did harm all over on personal levels and no doubt damaged NeoGAF tremendously, setting the public narrative in place from that point. People were called at their jobs to try to get them fired, businesses were threatened, all sorts of harm spread around to anything seen as remotely associated with NeoGAF. Jason vouched for the piece though and claimed extensive fact-checking had been involved. He has some interesting standards if that's the case.

All things considered, I don't see a reputable, ethical, honest person there. That's sub-Daily Mail class work, while trying to retcon himself out of the picture on NeoGAF to get out of the way of his own team's hatchet job. Any awards for that, maybe?

I kind of get what you mean. She seems like the type of person who isn't overtly attractive but you can grow to find attractive by observing her for a period time. Something about her mannerisms; her face under a certain light; the way she smiles; the way she looks at a certain angle. You kind of get that sense with those two pictures. One picture is looking at her straight on, and it isn't flattering. The other picture is at an angle and with her smiling.

The thing is, we're not static inanimate objects. Sometimes the beauty is found by observing someone in 3 dimensions for a period of time.

Umm...

So I walk into the police station and we go up the stairs. The attendant says "this is what my mum was worried about when I moved to Townsville, all the crime." We stand outside the detectives office. She asks which of us wants to do our statement first. I volunteered, but really it was a power move, just like sitting in the front seat of the car. I was hoping i'd get to go in the interrogation room and do see some classic Law and Order shit, but apparently not. She sits me in a boring ass office chair and gets my details, and asks me what happened in detail. I talk, she writes stuff down in dot points. Every now and then she deletes something then re-writes it. Half way through this, she checks her phone and says "well it looks like they know who did it". She shows me this dude's photo on her phone then goes back to typing. After 3 or 4 seconds she says "wait, I didn't show you that. We might have to do a photo array". She is very good at being a detective. I ask to pee and she walks me to the bathroom. When I come out she is standing like 3 feet away from the door. There is no way she didn't hear me pee. The final thing she needs is the description, which I give. She prints out two copies of statement and has me sign each page. I don't really have a signature so I just scribble at the bottom of each page and hope she doesn't notice none of the 14 signatures look anything alike. She offers to drive me home, and as we're walking down the stairs she says she can give me a number if I need a recommendation for trauma counselling. I tell her i've decided to treat my ptsd with weed. It's midnight and the gas station attendant is no longer with us. I picture him in an interrogation room handcuffed to the table, sobbing into his hands, and the thought of that calms me immensely. She asks if i'd be availible to be a witness if it went to trial, and I said I would be, and that I couldn't wait to get asked "and is that man im the courtroom today?" so that I can say "yes he is, it's that man right there". She rolls her eyes and I can tell I have ruined my chances at being a witness as well as her coming inside my apartment for a nightcap.

I go to sleep.

When I wake up the next day, I go to the gas station for a coke, and there is a sign on the window

yep because whiteness is the default of humanity and many who get offended dont like being othered or identified as a racial group. Its so weird. but its needed to classify this and seperate it out as such to call out certain behaviors.
didn't know we were doing 3/5 rule for Han Chinese now

It is answered by 'No. Next question'. The question asked by Beefy though is, why get upset about it? Well, if you would get upset about someone saying 'black people are shit' then you understand why some people might get upset about it. It is so blatantly obvious.

A friend knew Grimes when she lived in Montreal like a decade ago before she got big, and she told me she was a very nice and funny girl. Her real name is hilariously uncool sounding.

That resetera thread is so fucking weird, they are acting exactly like those creepy j-pop fans when they learn that their idol has a secret boyfriend.
i met her multiple times in Canada when she was a "DJ" or trying to be one. she's actually pretty funny, and smart. She's kinda gone off the rails though lately. I find it hilarious how Ree is coming down on her, when it's Musk you gotta be asking dood what you doing? She's so ugly it's not even funny.

She is

(Image removed from quote.)

but she also isn't

(Image removed from quote.)

I kind of get what you mean. She seems like the type of person who isn't overtly attractive but you can grow to find attractive by observing her for a period time. Something about her mannerisms; her face under a certain light; the way she smiles; the way she looks at a certain angle. You kind of get that sense with those two pictures. One picture is looking at her straight on, and it isn't flattering. The other picture is at an angle and with her smiling.

The thing is, we're not static inanimate objects. Sometimes the beauty is found by observing someone in 3 dimensions for a period of time.

Also, as you age, your standards go down, so as long as they’re not too fat and the pussy doesn’t stink too bad it’s pretty much all good.

There's that.

Also, if a girl has a really nice body, some men will overlook the face. Some men, a lot of men in fact, would settle for a nice pair of tits and ass.

You know, I am reminded of a survey done by OkCupid that found that women are actually far more critical about looks than men are. That makes sense to me. A good looking woman will get a shit ton of attention which allows her to be far more selective in her decisions. Men are more likely to settle for less. This also means that  average looking women probably get far more attention than your average looking man. lol

Of course this also runs counter to the idea that women are judged by their appearance more than men.

I'm still not sure why the complete disregard of human nature is so commonplace these days. It's not that complicated.

Maybe you should consider that places like Reee are lacking average, well adjusted people?
Where else can you find a place that treats men being attracted to sexy women as patriarchal misogyny? Or see comedy's only goal is to 'punch up'? Or are confused why calling your 'white allies' pieces of shit is not conducive to getting them on your side? Or think an off-color joke posted on Twitter or Youtube warrant government intervention? Or think a beach body ad with a fit woman in it is something something problematic...something something negative female image? Or think bullying a porn actress into suicide because she doesn't want to have sex with a gay performer who is at high risk for HIV is A-OK in the pursuit of 'social justice'?

A well adjusted person does not sound like this. Yet Ree is full of people who believe all this and worse. So it's no wonder you think a disregard of human nature is commonplace if you read Reee on a daily basis. For Reee, going against human nature is the feature, not the bug.

Ill go 20$ thay they will then jump to VC to complain, Nintendo will be always be the bad guy unless they do whatever the other do, 1:1 but cheaper or free

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7660514, member: 34130
Aparently its cool there cause you have the option to do or manually, even tho manually have a few extra disadvantages compared to CS

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7660544, member: 34130
20$/ year or 4.40$/ year with the family plan if you find other 7 people to shared it (35$/year) with tou

How do you know? Did you religiously made a manual back up after every single gaming session??

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7660581, member: 34130
Was it even this bad when announced mandatory PS+ for ps4 after ps3??

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7660632, member: 34130
This (no native and CS being locked to online) is something thats been a given for more than a year already, so i dont get why everyone is getting sooooo worked up now

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7661327, member: 34130
and Nintendo already stated why they dont to it natively. since before the console release, I know it will be cool do being able to do it manually and free but im realistic to know its not gonna happen (at least on Switch or unless Nintendo makes a glorious discovery in matters of security). so what else can I do, maybe vent up the rage here and there on forums but eventually only 2 things will happen I pay for online and use CS or I dont and ill dance with lady luck too see what happens.

there could be also a plausible 3rd scenario that the backslash for this will be massive like it was the loot box case in SW game. and Nintendo will be forced change their mind, but given how cranky old man tier stubborn they are, + the general population acceptance for manfatory paywall show by XBL and PS+ transition from PS3 to PS4, im sure this is the less likely scenario

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7661439, member: 34130
I dont have to defend, but I like to look at the rational way of why companies do what they do, if I dont find any logic behind actions I could rant and stuff, or maybe is just blind fanboyism, hell if I know to be fair

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7661569, member: 34130
so the takes from the thread are Nintendo has to either facilitate the work of hackers by allowing manual USB back up (true to god question, how many people, with stats if possible, actually use this feature) or make CS free. any other scenario is out of question

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7661610, member: 34130
not on the 13 but before feb we knew Nintendo was not allowing Native data back up.

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7661651, member: 34130
errr. im sure because they saw a pattern in past console is that they decided to remove it from Switch.

anyway, the "they will be hacked, so why bother trying to fend of hackers" is a really poor excuse tho

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7663601, member: 34130
yes but because they dont offer native USB back up <gap in logic> you are entitled to get CS for free or riot

1) its 20$ (4.4$ if you group with other 7 people for the family plan)
2) im 70% sure that in the "free USB / Paid Cloud Save" scenario, people will still demand free CS cause <insert gap in logic>



for many people in this thread, they are already a bond tier villain

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7663825, member: 34130
People just want an excuse to be mad, I always knew that whatever Nintendo offered were short of PS+ 1:1 clone but at 20$, people would complain.

why is CS not free
why only 20 NES games, I dont like NES games
why is it not free when their internet is trash

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7663864, member: 34130
you are telling me that if Nintendo had allowed USB Back up people would still not complained about something in the online?

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7664007, member: 34130
is not theorical, see the release thread and previous thread and you will see people already complaining beyond the CS. so yeah, I stand my ground



yeah, why is nintendo even trying? why not release their Kernel publicly, dumb Nintendo trying to fend of hackers

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7664221, member: 34130
m8, ive been doing manual backing since memory cards in PS1, thank you very much.

also heads up, dont put words in my mouth, I said hacking not piracy, but whoever the glove fits I guess,

and if nothing else, manual USB saves is not 'free" cause you still need to buy/ own a USB device to save it on, and its not as trusty as CS unless you religiously back up your data after each game session.



and the counter point then is that the fix is already in production line. so back to square 1

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7664369, member: 34130
17M and Nintendo expects to 20M more. but yeah, RELEASE THE KERNEL NINTENDO!!!

oh, and you are right, my bad, I forgot. Is not free, you need electricity to power the Switch, also a house to fend it from the weather,.. and lets not forget yourself, you are gonna need Clother, water and food to stay alive to make the back up : 3c

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7664446, member: 34130
cause for the past 2-3 gen it proved to be, besides the intend purpose, an heave entry attack point for hackers. so Nintendo got fed up removed it??

im not against USB saves is provided but im realistic enough to know that they are not gonna deliver it, and not amount of Internet tantrum will change that.


I know but I could not find THAT comic, so bear with me

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7664542, member: 34130
at least here on ERA anything higher than FREE (unless allowing USB, but this is one is even more out of hte picture) would have bit tooo much

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7664596, member: 34130
how do you know, maybe they are increasing tick rate and servers maximum load

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7664781, member: 34130
Eternal Cat and Mouse is specially strong on Nintendo hardware were the demand for Hacking (pic your reasons for it) creates a huge influx of hackers in the scene to answer to that demand to bathe in glory, popularity and/or patreon bucks.

saves are good target cause you dont need to decript saves. all you need is to code your own saves files and when the system tries to read em trigger the proper code lines to open up vulnerabilities

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7664891, member: 34130
if we go by the Nintendo Pricing thread, at least there Anti-consumer = I (era member) dont like it.

so that and some little bias thinking as many on era are from gaf, personally ill hold my breath about how they really think their behavior and opinion truly or not reflect the mass market

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7664955, member: 34130
people are just trying to scream loud enough so as they can get USB saves, they feel entitled to get CS for free then. im sure most people knew this was gonna happen, just that they still want to try it out, maybe it do will backslash to Nintendo as Lootbox did for EA ...maybe...



you are right, Nintendo will always eventually get hacked, so why not drop all the mumbo jumbo and just release their kernel publicly?? right??

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7665016, member: 34130
Op and people like em knew this was not an option since January 2017, and given Nintendo stubbornest and stand on hacking, is not gonna change, they also knew CS was 90% like to be behind the NSO payment.

so now they decided to complain about 2 things that were all but facts already. and for what reason? trying to shame nintendo into offering either option for free?

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7665130, member: 34130
Hint: you new about 16 months ago that you will not get USB data back up. so why is people now acting as if they were betrayed or something?

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7665212, member: 34130
people just think they are entitled to a free way to back up their saves, so as the only options for that are 1) USB manual back up or 2) Cloud Save, as option 1 has never even been on the table, people then get to the conclusion that Nintendo is mandated to offer Cloud Saves for Free .... or enable 1) (whatever risk nintendo might face for that be dammed)

Quote from: Pablo Mesa, post: 7665306, member: 34130
but is it really worthy? my from perspective, when it comes to "Nintendo is doing things wrong" ERA have seen to be on the wrong from what the common denominator consumer thinks.

I mean, to be fair ,yes they are entitled to express their dissatisfaction, but most of this thread read as if this was something that just poofed into existence and not the scenario that everyone knew was the most likely to happen since the Switch Reveal in Jan last year
