That's adorable.

Is there a movie equivalent? The Breakfast Club kind of seems like it would be classed as one.

There was one movie where the main character spent the entire thing in a phone booth that advertised itself like it was going to be this. I don't know if cheap movies would just have sets lying around unless they're TV movies though.

This is your movie culture on Marvel films.

OP, I know you said you're leaving China in nine days... but just remember to wipe your prints off them if you touched it in any way. Those items actually look kind of new.. so, you never know..
I dont want to hear another Otto Warmbier type arrest, except in China and not NKorea, happen to a fellow Era mate.

Escape before Gamergate activates their agent Xi Jinping !

[benjipwns]

A bit back, I was reading some review - probably an AV club article that talked about some show at the time that I was watching and they mention something about how this episode was probably written to save money as it was all set in the one space and I'm starting to notice this as a trend in tv show to the point that it makes it hard to take the shows seriously (i'm not talking sitcoms where they don't ever go anywhere - eg, friends)

TLDR: cheap tv is cheap.

it bugs me that DCTV reuses so many sets. The “coffee shop” in Arrow and The Flash is clearly the same set with slightly different decor.

Also on Arrow-is Oliver’s mayor office SUPPOSED to be the same office from Queen Industries that was used so much in the first few seasons? And became Palmer technology? Because it’s clearly the same set.

The idea that "sets are too expensive" doesn't make much sense to me,

This reminds me of this weird anxiety sitcoms gave me as a kid. I used to get really uncomfortable because it felt like these people were trapped in a make believe world. It got worse each time they'd open the door and you'd see the very obviously fake background, it'd drive me crazy that these people weren't able to escape out of these handful of locations and their whole lives seemed to just be in those places.

[benjipwns]

why the fuck would you call the police because you fished some weird shit out of the drain? i mean, that's fucking weird, but what do you expect the police to do about it?

at least there's another thread for the ERA CLASSICS section

[benjipwns]

also, somebody should tell him to put them back, how would he like it someone broke into his shower stash of tools?

My own: Splinter Cell Conviction's change in gameplay to be more upfront assault rather than tactical stealth was perfect because the gameplay changed with the tone of the narrative. Easily my second favorite Splinter Cel.

If Buzzfeed attempts to make it Buzzfeed vs Mueller they will only be undermining the SC. why do that?

Which reminds me of that other post in the BuzzFeed thread :

Does Buzzfeed not realize this kind of shit hurts the investigation?

It's not BuzzFeed (or any other journalistic outlets) job to help the investigation.

you're either against drumpf or i see two nazis

"Yup Buzzfeed wrote some bullshit guys"

"Ooofff yikes, what do we do Mueller?"

Mueller hasn’t even put Trump in prison yet, why are we trusting him over Buzzfeed?

[benjipwns]

Thanks for the lists. Shit like this just makes me regret even more that I didn't get into YouTubing when I had the chance. We need more people out there who aren't actively giving gaming a bad name...

[benjipwns]

Then why does no one ever talk about the blantant racism that happens on this forum? Why must everyone outside of this community be called out but no one within it?

It doesn’t happen enough here, but it does happen. It’s disengenous to suggest that only those outside of ERA are being critiqued while the forum somehow goes unchecked.

It happens enough thank you very much

[benjipwns]

Do we not? I mean, it may indeed be the case that we don't do nearly enough of it. But it seems to me whenever I click into a thread like this there is at least one person saying some ignorant shit, who is immediately dunked on by at least two other members and [unfortunately, sometimes, but not all the time] given at least a warning by mods. Hell, just the other day, I went off on some people in the diversity thread for phraseology and statements used in describing Southern Europeans (which I never in my life imagined I'd have to do, lol).

This kind of thing is very important to me, ignorant as I may be. Especially considering why we're all here, and what Era itself was supposed to represent. Could you please share your perspective with me further?

It's 4AM local time and I'm at a little bit of a loss right now. I used to throw AVGN on in the background when I couldn't sleep...and since I am a bit of a chronic insomniac, this was pretty much every night, lol. I need to find a new "sleep aid" series...

Jesus. How foolish of me, to think comics filled to the brim with racial slurs would be his only thing.... What a piece of shit.

ahahaha this dude lol

[paprikastaude]

That's true.... Gosh, this is not how I was expecting this thread to go. What a sad thing to have to learn today. Are there any YouTubers I can watch who are actually "clean"?

Maximilian, GameXplain, My Life in Gaming, Digital Foundry, Simon Miller, Outside Xbox, PlayStation Access, Retro RGB, strafefox...

woah, hold on, did anyone check who these guys followed on Twitter in 2010 yet?

[benjipwns]

I remain strongly against the decision not to add Kingdom Come or The Last Night to the Era Banlist. Frankly, with their repeated and unapologized-for transphobic comments (which were absolutely not just from "one rogue employee") I feel uncomfortable seeing new threads for CD Projekt as well.

I have long held "Separating art from artist" to be a deeply flawed argument, especially when the problematic artist is directly receiving compensation as a result of consuming their art, which is used to further their problematic views. It seems to me that people just don't want to abstain from playing a game they would otherwise enjoy. And that's really not too big a sacrifice, considering the sheer number of quality alternatives. More alternatives, in fact, than you could probably play through in your lifetime.

Beto was the inevitable candidate for all of three months before we soured on him, AOC won't even be able to run for President until 2028. I think she's great, but there's no way of knowing how we'll feel about her in three months, let alone 9 years. Not being a party pooper, I just want to see more than a month of her career in politics before anointing her.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/us-poliera-2019-ot1-you-down-wit-ndp-yeah-you-know-me-whos-down-wit-aoc-this-whole-party.91114/page-282#post-17028554

 

[benjipwns]

should have posted this peak poligafera:

I absolutely believe it. Getting the same vibe I did from Obama in 04 every time I see [AOC] speak.

Agreed. If she decides to run in 2028, I'm not sure who on the Republican bench could really compete with her. There's a reason fox is obsessed with turning public opinion against her.

[benjipwns]

She’s not eligible for another decade. Which sucks for her because she’d easily win this upcoming primary if she ran. Because, field sucks

[benjipwns]

Do the Dems get a rebuttal?

to a random ass speech on a saturday afternoon

[benjipwns]

Or they know how close to being shut down Mueller is at any moment so have been holding things back, or they've agreed to be one of mueller's dead man's switches, or any other number of possibilities.

It's clear that people like emptywheel and hoarse whisperer are smart and well-written/spoken, but they're really not that far ahead of everyone else. It's been all the traditionally-operating journalists that have broken with new information and advanced the narrative forward. The only non-traditional journalist people I can think of that have been on to something ahead of everyone else are Christopher Steele (dossier) and Rachel Maddow (Trump echoing Russian views and foreign policy goals). And that's only twice throughout the past two years. If/when we find out more about this special counsel decision to make a public statement, it will be through journalists these DOJ people trust.

I thought ResetEra clear was supposed to auto-renew?

Mine didn't, logged on today and first time I opened Era I got a redirect ad to some virus garbage site. Had to renew Clear all over again as if I was just starting.

My credit card didn't expire since then, and I was using PayPal if that matters

Oh yeah I actually agree with the one I posted. Primary "discussion" sounds like people discussing a toy line and it's depressing.

wait, is this cerium's alt?

[Nintex]

My guess is Robert Mueller wanted to wrap this up much quicker but just kept finding more dumb Trump associates who lied to him (because that's what they do) and/or leads to pursue.

"So Eric, you are the son of Donald J. Trump correct?"

"No"

"You know lying to a federal prosecutor is a felony correct. Shall we try again?"

"Oh, yes. that's my dad. But I was told not to admit anything that might embarass him"

 

[VomKriege]

"Non-traditional journalist people" is quite the euphemism for "British intelligence officer"

Because outside of typing some platitudes into his computer what else has he done that makes him anything like Captain America?

all their normal hyperbole about the US being 1930's Germany and they see how an actual authoritarian state operates and can't even comprehend the difference

from that school thread:

The United States of America is a breeding ground for hate. I won't call it "ignorance," because that implies that they're uninformed and have become hatemongers because they don't know any better, which is bullshit. This country is evil. These kids are hardly an isolated example of its moral rot.

It is funny that there's no mention of the policies these candidates stood for, just which party they belong to. I'm inclined to believe that the Democrat lady had the better ones but for all I know she could also be another Brianna Wu.

the title is wrong but this is still really bad

not endorsing the (non-white, female, LGBT) democratic candidate who had a great shot at winning and using language that suggested the other candidate would be better as explanation for your non-endorsement is really bad
