Boy I would hate for someone fate to be decided by some posters in this thread. Quite a few think they know it all base on looking at a person past history without knowing them personally.

Even Rihanna forgave him and she's the one that got her ass beat, yet she's moved on and hold no grudges...

Guys, he just beat his wife, get over it   She doesn't hold a grudge, you judgemental fucks.

Good post I agree, I hope he host and people who are still pissed can stay mad if they can't accept his apologize. He said what he said, his grown and learned from it, he apologize if people can't accept and move on like some did (Ellen) oh fucking well

Hart just called people feggits a few times.  Why can't we forgive people?  Geeze.

Always hated this woman, every time I watched her say a stupid statement, she came across as a entitled know it all bitch. Glad she's off Tv but she won't be sad for long since she got a hefty pay day that's the only negative thing about this situation. 

Glad this bitch is off the air.  Doesn't she understand how serious this Halloween shit is?!

User Banned (Duration Pending): Personally attacking another user and history of similar infractions

Are you seriously trying to accuse me of being a gamergator. Fuck off with that shit.

The false ideal of “objective” game reviews is certainly one of their things.

Calling someone a gator? That’s worse than being called a Nazi

I love how low the barometer has been set for 'games journalist" with the Hobbes guy. Just when you think it couldn't get any lower.

How long until IGN's RE review thread is closed?

[benjipwns]

I think it best in the future to see where the conversation is and isn't, because I've explained how the two aren't the same thing over and over again in a lot of posts so I am just at my wit's end.

People on Era can call me whatever they'd like, I don't mind that. What I mind is being told I'm wrong by someone who asserts they are right and provides no evidence to support their claims and discredits someone who has worked in this field for 5 years as "childish" among other things.

But hey, what do I know? I'm just a "dumb fuck" journalist.

[Uncle]

What the fuck is going on at resetera

They spend 4 years transforming criticism of game journalism into a dogwhistle for harassment of women

Like yeah they don't think gamergate was ever about "ethics in game journalism" but then anyone criticizing game journos must be insidiously using it to lead into harassment rhetoric

To the point where they have real clear cut rules about criticizing any sites or blogs with a broad brush and ban people based on true statements like "kotaku is trash" or "schreier doesn't construct his articles very well"



But now we have a whole thread made on the same premise, painting game journalism with a broad brush

Tons of people with the hot takes saying "this just keeps happening"

One of their own verifieds goes off in the thread talking about how gaming writers aren't journalists which is gamergate 101

And now to the point that they ban someone for saying it sounds like someone else is using gamergate-style rhetoric

What is even going on

Bullshit. Discord is gaming centric, and gaming has a problem that started with gamergate and continues to this day. Parents absolutely should be paying attention to their kids if they use discord, if not for the simple fact that it a far more secure and private platform in which people are using to radicalize.

A kid being on discord is more problematic than other social media platforms, and parents should be paying attention to what their kids are exposed to on it.

Discord is a platform where it's users are mostly young white men

charitable reads are dumb because debating is a stupid practice in the first place. It's all about winning, and when that's the case, who cares about fallacies even? Ad hominems are great, if you can discredit the other person with personal attacks, more power to you.

Fair play for admitting it, I guess?

he's somehow even less known and/or influential than

also i like redmerc's idea that every CEO there snub the leader of brazil as if its not a massive market for growth. of course he's also the dude who says he bans all trump supporters and their money from the retail shop where he works and is applauded for this by the manager/owner.

oh my goodness the anger on display in this thread

[Uncle]

A succinct summary of the discussion in marrec's charity thread

Charity is good when a discussion is symmetrical, but when one side sees the other’s commitment to charity and decides to exploit that rather than reciprocate it, the charitable side gets demolished. The non-charitable side repeatedly pockets the other’s charitable concessions without offering any in return.

Excelsheetthief getting SUPER DEFENSIVE about the subject as a personal attack and going full on trump is pretty fucking funny

on the rare time I overstep, I have a proven track record of admitting I'm wrong, it's not something I treat as shameful.

Trust me, nobody has bigger apologies than I do. They're the biggest. YUGE!

more than most I dedicate far more time to actually deconstructing posts of many many many bad actors, that I take the time to research and cite and cite and cite

You don't hear about all the time I put in from the mainstream media, #fakenews

it's not irrational to point out that some day one dude with 10 posts, who manages to show up in a controversial thread and say something blatantly inflammatory, is a day one dude with 10 posts.

they don't send their best and brightest, they send their bad hombres

Like 6 people do that here

And we all know those 6 do it because they're Russian bots

Believe me, nobody is harder on russian bots than I am, putin would love anyone else to be as hard on them as I am step.in

I mean, it's a beautiful place, and it's definitely nice to be rich. But that's basically Tabris posting how rich he is, as he always do. How can you be successfull and so insecure at the same time...

That Chris Brown thread is everything wrong with Era-Morality.
Branding any person who's made mistakes in life, with a scarlet letter.
Assumptions of actions and unwillingness to adress the wrongness of them, just deflecting to anything else regarding Brown so they can continue being righteous.
And suddenly you're a piece of shit if you're adverse to the pile-on and see it as poisonous.
People always talk about supporting mental health, especially people on Era, but do they realize that mental health work isn't just supporting uwu precious victims, or that uwu precious victims may have wronged others as well?
I can't take the total lack of humanity applied to some offenders, I haven't lived a life that's encouraged such a puritanical view of people.

Probably because compared to most of the basement dwellers on GAF/REE, he's living like a king.

But compared to other people in brokerage/banking (forget what in particular he does) he's pretty vanilla.  Nothing he's posted or shared has been all that impressive.  It's the same sort of stuff I've seen from most junior execs/leaders in my industry until they actually develop their own tastes.  They just either get their condos already furnished and/or hire the same sort of lame interior designers who basically get the same type of IKEA shit.

Also I wonder how much his lifestyle is financed by credit and he's barely above living paycheck to paycheck.  He posts about "eventually" getting a Xbox One X and 65" TV - that should be nothing to a "baller" like him.

[BisMarckie]

Seems like a trust fund type or something from what I remember.  And I literally only ever recall his posts/threads that are bragging about shit.

Don't need to be RICH to afford a place like that though;  just need an income and stupidity.

Maybe me being European has something to do with it, but living in a place like that screams nouveau riche and tackiness to me.
People with a lot of money live in places like this over here.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

It looks like exactly the kind of furnished 'showroom home' type apartment a lot of major city banker / investment types have pre-arranged from their job tbh

[Transhuman]

My friend has a crazy bachelor pad.  His entire apartment has a curved window on the edge, with his living room and bedroom having the same view (of the Space Needle, which is a few hundred feet away.) 

It has this rooftop lounge area that is killer, amazing party rooms he can reserve, and a rooftop deck with fireplaces and heaters and shit.

Honestly makes me tempted to sell my house and live that way;  I could technically afford it.  It would be fucking stupid of me but I could pay for it!

Imagine banging the wife on a bearskin rug in the middle of the living room as the dusk's orange light covers her sultry naked body. You turn your head. What is that you see? The fucking space needle. You get to go to sleep knowing you can watch it while you fuck if you want.

[VomKriege]

If a terrorist holds a plane hostage and demands you kill 50 innocents , you don't fucking counter-offer by going "well we can kill 40 innocents, but not all of the ones you want. "
Utterly fucking absurd and only legitimises further attempts.
You do not negotiate. PERIOD.

Except Trump is the elected president of the United States, not some guy with a AK-47 living in a cave... It is more nuanced and complicated than that.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/post-your-gaming-setup-2019-edition.95166/

I decided to reply to him about this:

Yeah, it's nice and all, but...where is the gaming part of the gaming setup?  Why not just make a "ResetEra Cribs" thread instead, Tabris?

Tradition. This thread has transformed from the original setup thread to a "gaming setups & home design" thread over 10 years. In the old forum I tried creating 2 separate threads (one in OT and one in Gaming) and it split the posts/views too much. It's same as the "post what you got this month" threads that just started with games first and evolved. I also said this is essentially ResetEra Cribs Edition in the OP - tsk, tsk, didn't read OP

"Tradition" in the previous threads was showcasing multiple poster's gaming setups in the OP, too, however.  It would be cool to see a bit more "we" and a bit less "me" in there.  Maybe move your other photos to the second post in the thread.

I also said this is essentially ResetEra Cribs Edition in the OP - tsk, tsk, didn't read OP

Yeah, guess I missed that among the flood of pictures that were loading up!

Actually that wasn't the tradition. I did that for a single year where I posted "best of last year" awards. I'll do that sometime in this thread - just didn't have time to review every post on the last thread. And some people complained about that post too as they felt it was only showing off setups I liked. I literally can't win with some of you lol

You might want to go back to the site that shall remain nameless and check the last couple of years- There are OPs with various setups listed for 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017 all showcasing multiple setups, my friend.  I think you made most of them, lol.

Not trying to argue with you or anything, though.  Just a suggestion.

Went about as expected.

And that's why you will never leave the swamp of fascism and class war. You would rather continue the system of inequality for another 50 years, killing MILLIONS, because there's no "nice way" to get rid of the parasites.
