You can replace the DP ( ) 'the woman' with any other DP land it would still be a syntactically perfectly acceptable.
Quote from: EightBitNate on July 16, 2018, 04:48:02 PMIt’s like they’re forgetting the whole reason RE exists.The whole reason ResetERA exists is because they're a bunch of morons who didn't understand the reason GAF, which they already essentially ran, was "successful/relevant" was out of inertia. Once they did a publicized exodus where they trashed GAF both literally and figuratively to start a splinter forum they already halted that inertia by dividing the userbase. The "brains" of the operation knew Evilore wouldn't give up his money ticket but assumed THEY were the reason for that money ticket (like Shinobi "who stepped back from the forum in March", etc.) and that simply moving a few key usernames over to a new forum would make it as relevant as GAF was. It was always obvious it was simply a temper tantrum fueled shattering of the userbase. These same people shut up about Evilore, Amir0x, etc. how many times before, they decided to not wait for his excuse to accept for whatever reason and assumed ERA would be up instantly, instead you had GAF sitting without mods for like four days as the userbase either trashed the place, sat in discords or found other forums and then ERA launched as a dorky in-GAF clone to the point of actually doing GAF Gold before it existed an entire year.
It’s like they’re forgetting the whole reason RE exists.
Remember how Bobby (PBUH) accurately described us: "Imagine a pail of leeches, self-conscious about how hard they suck, writhing on each other for reassurance—that’s TheBore"
Oh, fuck me.
In Saudi Arabia, the move was made illegal by the National Committee for Drug Control as it was deemed that it "alludes to weed and other illegal substances."
Let's not fool ourselves. Neogaf was Sony-biased to the core. I remember all those insufferable Nintards on ERA back on gaf, they were hiding behind their mother back in the day. What happened to make Resetera that Nintendo-biased when all the members were just refugees from Neogaf ? Resetera is also an attempt to shift the bias of an influencial forum toward Nintendo. The only problem is that - fortunately - Resetera isn't what Neogaf was back in the day.

GGers and arenanet's response amplified this up a huge amount. And you say we'll never know, and you're right because she was fired. But we'll also never know because GGers+others made the incident seem like a bigger deal than it was. It's important to recognize the role the GGers had in the backlash imo and what they're capable of as evidenced by many documented situations.
But yeah there was a massive mob screaming for blood on especially Reddit all night before the meeting where she was fired took place. Before the majority of the hate mob arrived there (an hour or so after iirc), the community was "just" upset and confused that someone would do what these devs did, asking for ANet to take some sort of action. The community also tried to downvote the harassment at the start but the posts blew up and appeared on bigger gaming subreddits and even on r/all. The more sane voices were just drowned in the hate, either by being downvoted themselves or by giving up.
A /pol/ thread about her comment that received hundreds of replies was started more than 14 hours before she was fired. not conclusive proof in and of itself, but draw your own conclusions
They only call themselves "humble" to leverage the popularity of the word.
This is something I've caught on to over the last week. It seems that some games on Wii aqre literally out of nowhere are coming back on Switch.Examples.Go VacationBass Pro Shops: The StrikeCrash Dummy (aka CID the Dummy)de BlobCarnival GamesMy Riding Staples: Life with HorsesThese examples include remasters and revivals of games essentially born on Wii (like Carnival Games).I kind of am loving this. Wii was the console that had a legit "diamond in the rough" to its line-up that gave birth to some truly unique and some excellent budget games despite being lost in a sea of legit shovelware. Who knows if Switch will revive this but still, this is a neat start and I hope some truly special stuff will see a second wind on Switch.
thought it said "smaller titties"

What is perhaps more intriguing is that High Voltage has built a custom engine designed to really push the Wii hardware's graphic capabilities. The game-maker's "Quantum3" game engine brings polish to The Conduit by way of a "full 16-TEV stage material pipeline using up to eight texture sources and a host of innovative blend operations."In short, it allows the developer to create graphic effects normally seen on other consoles with vertex and pixel shaders – specifically, dynamic bump-mapping (via tangent space normals or embossing), reflection and refraction (via real-time cube or spherical environmental maps), light / shadow maps, projected texture lights, specular and Fresnel effects, emissive and iridescent materials, advanced alpha blends, light beams / shafts, gloss and detail mapping, seamless resource streaming, projected shadows, heat distortion and motion blur, interactive water with dual-wave channels and complex surface effects, animated textures, and more. "We think it's a real shame that publishers and developers aren't taking advantage of the technical possibilities of the Wii platform. Most Wii games don't even look as good as the later day PS2 titles and that's a real slap in the face to consumers," seconds Kerry Ganofsky, CEO and founder, High Voltage Software. "We believe that third-party developers need to step up to the plate and deliver. The Wii platform is capable of a lot more than what consumers have seen so far. We're hoping to raise a new bar."Nofsinger takes it a step farther. "Most of the games on the Wii look like crap. We want to change that, so we've invested heavily in our Wii tech over the past year. We have real-time normal mapping, reflection and refraction, post process full screen effects, real-time shadows, projected lights and textures, specularity and fresnel effects, emissive and iridescent materials, interactive water, morphing, and much more all running with a rock solid frame rate on the Wii. Our goal is to be the most technically innovative Wii developer on the planet.""There is this pervasive and cyclical argument that Wii consumers don't want mature titles, when there aren't those types of products available to them. And even more frustrating is the claim that Wii consumers only care about great gameplay. Of course they care about gameplay, but we believe if given the choice, they would want great graphics as well. It's just a cop out," says Nofsinger. "With Conduit, we are trying to make a Wii game that looks like a 360 title."
Most of the games on the Wii look like crap. We want to change that
i think the phrase is there's a seat for every assbut i'm not a bigot so I might be wrong
The PoliEra crew is convinced that neoliberal is a slur and the socialism OT struggles to get 3 posts a day, but sure, Era is the most leftwing site imaginable.

User Banned (1 Week): Junior account making inflammatory false equivalenciesOf course it is? Same as BBC, Voice of America, RT etc, etc. Government's don't run news organizations out of a commitment to the notion of objective truth.It can be a relatively benign source of propaganda but don't fool yourself about what it is or deny that it's worth a sensible chuckle to note the irony involved in a state run broadcaster being aghast at another state shaping the news to its benefit.
User Banned (1 Week): Inflammatory and inappropriate equivalence comparing gamers to oppressed minorities.Gamers aren’t a monolith. Replace gamer with a race of a person and it’s prejudiced statement

Cauliflower, please provide me a full list of acceptable, non-offensive language. Or as marrec calls it, "gramatically correct." I expect a full report on my desk by tomorrow morning.

The reality is anything pushing against the status quo will be seen as belligerent to those who desire negative peace
This is your periodic reminder to take a deep breath, stay hydrated, and get some rest. The republic will still be standing tomorrow.
Ideally you should have an around-the-clock protest presence outside of the White House where people switch off to go to work, sleep, spend time with their families and substitute with others... with it swelling up in size and magnitude during the weekends.
You don't get how these anti-progressive attitudes and hot takes about Resetera being posted in here (like yours), in fucking 2018 no less, are kind of disgusting?
