If you want to do navel gazing shower thoughts about whatever videogame you just played, you should have been doing it on youtube and been a patreon bitch for at least the last 5 years.

The issue is that Patrick is a black hole of charisma since his GB days.

Then you hire a good looking intern to act as a frontispiece, and they'll happily do it to establish an audience for when they want to jump ship and do the same thing

I feel Patrick is Liam from SuperBestFriends if he was less self aware and with self hate  tendencies.

I thought it was common knowledge that threatening a representative is a felony so getting people investigated is not something unique on Ocasio-Cortez.

Also, doxxing is okay:

Lock them up.

No, seriously, please. Make some examples.

Look at it this way: they can finally stop pretending they are interested in the industries they cover and go and be a full time political activist, which is were the true passions lay for many of these people.

It's funny. I don't recall them ever being overtly political until 'woke' became fashionable. Although, I didn't read them enough back then to really know. It's just that it only really came to my attention with Waypoint. I guess, if you observed GAF at its most insane, and then ResetEra after, you could be forgiven for thinking there was an actual audience there. In their liberal bubble it probably seemed like the way forward for them.

Well yeah. I mean a sizeable audience. They overestimated the audience. That might have been easy to do if you actually took GAF seriously.

I had to look it up

That notion is wild, the police station as fortress/safe haven is laughably naive (particularly for people of color). It certainly was in the 90s as well, and really, when has policing in America ever actually been about keeping neighborhoods safe as opposed to keeping a racist status quo up and running?

Jesus fucking christ. Yeah, none of you woke assholes would go to a police station if the city was overrun. Sure.

And the game doesn’t give me any tools for mending wounds or even putting gauze or bandages on something. The only first aid items are hilarious magical herbs and sprays, though the guns and blood look, well, more or less like the actual thing. This is a game about dealing and surviving damage, not healing it.

And after awhile, I subtly give in to its goofy logic.

I’m also not really allowed to do anything I please, as the verbs are pretty limited. I wanted to play with all the food items in the store in the opening gameplay scene. Look at all the goofy fake labels and such, like I do in a Life is Strange game or a walking sim. But that’s a very different sort of permission fantasy, isn’t it? The ability to touch and play with so many aspects of a world, with no angry shopkeeper staring at me and my now-very-obviously-queer haircut.

This would be the person in a zombie movie who gets bitten because they were too busy examining the label of the Umbrella Brand Sriracha Sauce to check if its gluten free to notice the torso only zombie slowly crawling towards them for the last 10 minutes, who will then not tell anyone they were bitten, and when they turn and their now-very-obviously-zombie-head explodes in a shotgun blast the audience cheers

That thread was updated actually. It seems Waypoint isn't dead just yet. There is just going to be lay-offs. It is unclear exactly how this affects Waypoint.

Also, someone posted a quote from a Waypoint article on Resident Evil 2.

Early on, protagonists Claire and Leon hear a radio message instructing all citizens to head for the station.

Worst take I've read in a while. Your post, that is. I guess applying actual real-life thought to video games criticism is a very hard concept for some people? Let's discuss framerates and gore all day long instead, heyoooo!

Many of Giantbomb's biggest and most notable moments ever (reveals of Xbox 180 and PS4 Neo) were thanks to the Waypoint crew

Not totally wrong, but Waypoint has not breaking news moments.

I was thinking something similar when I saw this. Its coming at a time when there's less reliably paying media outlets for actual journalists competing with youtubers with massive followings that just spew whatever into the ether with an election year right around the corner (again).

The other thing is, there are many police stations in America that have a significant percentage of minority police officers. It's not like police departments are just filled with white rednecks.

Would anyone really think, in any case, in the midst of a Zombie Apocalypse, the police would be more concerned about arresting people of colour on trumped up charges than the threat of Zombies all over the city? Plant like cocaine in their back pocket and tell them to put their hands up.

"I told you to put your hands up!"

Its kind of racist to say that in a zombie apocalypse where people are recommended to head to the latest police station black people would be all "Aw HELL NAW, I ain't fallin' for no entrapment by the popo, they probly tryna make me pay my parking tickets and steal my weed or whatever"

Now I think y'all are being unfair... a bit. I do think there would be specific communities or neighborhoods who wouldn't trust the police or a police station even in the event of something like a zombie apocalypse... I can think of quite a few neighborhoods in Pittsburgh that would rather loot the police station and make their own safe house. Trust in the police isn't immaterial simply for lack of a proper catalyst.

What's stupid about the line is that it's insulting to even imagine in the context of Resident Evil 2, a remake of a bad cheesy 90s zombie game. There are plenty of things you can critique about Resident Evil 2, but invoking minority distrust of police is just fucking virtue signaling 100%.

Here is the thing: you explained it way better than the Waypoint dude could ever do.

I seriously doubt Waypoint is not going to be affected but it sounds they will be severely downsized given that Patrick and Austin have not outright confirmed they are safe.

Sure there is distrust of the police. And I imagine there would be people who would do things their own way. That would include white people as well I imagine. The types that have a wardrobe full of guns. Part of that post I'm joking. The idea that the police in the middle of a zombie apocalypse would be concerned about fucking over people of colour while zombies are breaking through the windows and shit seems kind of funny to me. lol

And yeah, it's not worth mentioning when critiquing a 20 year old game with a cheesy b-movie plot. I guess, my main issue is not so much whether people would choose not to trsut the police, it is what official measures should authorities take exactly in such a situation? Obviously a ludicrous situation. If it is laughably naive, what exactly is he suggesting? It seems perfectly logical that any safe haven, whether it be the police station, or a sports centre, or whatever, you would want  a significant police or military presence. Early on though, the police would probably be the only option. The alternative is to fend for yourself.

I couldn't imagine even in today's 'woke' society where we are supposed to be more aware about these issues, they wouldn't suggest this as an option.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I suppose my thinking that a police station is a pretty defensible location is partly based on the idea most people in my country that aren't the police don't have any guns, ammo, or body armour.

the other part is I've seen (the original) Assault On Precinct 13.

Wait a minute, now it sounds like you are suggesting that other races and possibly even white people could have it as bad as black people do when it comes to police treatment, because why else would they prefer to loot the station?  You aint as slick as you think.

besides, the police station is hardly a safe house, because it's fucking crawling with zombies, AND they loot the fuck out of that place. Waypoint annihilated for the second time today.
