he's in fucking Beijing and can't find anyone who speaks English, what a loser indeed

[clothedmacuser]

What's worse?

The unrelenting aggressiveness of people like DigitalOP and excel,

or RedMercury's sniveling?

I think that question is best asked "who is the most pathetic toadie of the mods?"  DigitalOP is an idiot but aggressive.  Excel is like a vacuum of thought and intelligence, a person with a bachelor level degree pretending to be a PHD and esoteric to the point stupidity overcomes and collapses in on itself.  A black hole of attempts to be accepted by academia.

RedMercury is simply an obsequious prison prag.  No sides want him so all he can do is praise his keepers in hopes they don't let him free in the prison yard.

Not to be mean but... How ? You move to another country without the most barebones due diligence ? Was his ResetEra thread supposed to be it ? (Then again even that was last minute.)

[VomKriege]

nobody suggest that he sell one of his organs, that would be racist.

I'm also afraid he would be liable to follow that advice.

Not to care post because  but I find nationality stripping horrendous and in this case pretty disgusting as it feels like pure cynical convenience from European governments to leave them stranded over there. Everyone should be entitled to a fair trial on clear, lawful, charges. Not necessarily at home but the few things I gathered from Iraqi justice and jailing conditions doesn't strike me as up to the sort of basic standard decency we claim to uphold. Does being the wife of a ISIS djihadist in itself a crime (provided the person hasn't commited any other illegal acts besides) ? Are their children guilty ? I'm not convinced and those should absolutely be repatriated if they are willing so, facing legal consequences if need be.

Of course it's not easy and convenient to manage radicals and I understand the purported security risk attached but I have a hard time believing a few hundreds people (which AFAIK is the total of all European prisoners currently in Irak's custody and being discussed recently) are above a threshold of "utterly unmanageable" on a continent whose recent history is littered with bitter wars.

It's right down the same alley as drone strikes. I don't think anyone should be cheerful that people can be stripped of their citizenship (and all protections they may entail) at the drop of a hat because your government feels like it.

She's getting her citizenship removed because she has Bangladeshi citizenship. As far as I know by law so long as it doesn't leave them stateless, then it's kosher to remove their citizenship. Why dump the cost of incarcerating her on the tax payer when you can dump it on Bangladesh instead? Sucks for them, but as the kids would say 'you snooze, you lose'. She is their problem now. 

What if Bangladesh dumps her first?

meanwhile, yesterday in Beijing: https://www.resetera.com/threads/does-anyone-here-know-of-any-chinese-japanese-gaming-forums.100941/

So, I want to practise these languages, and what better way to do so than by going on a gaming forum!! (Yeah, I realize it's far from the best way but I was just curious in any case). I have searched and while I have found some Japanese gaming sites, they appear to be article-based rather than having forums. I also don't know where to start for Chinese forums, that's for sure.

Is this essentially like 4chan?

Well the format for 4chan originated from Japan..so yes

I was hoping for something closer to ResetEra.

[benjipwns]

Oheao's Plan:

1. Go to Beijing.
2. Read gaming forums in Chinese while in China.
3.
4. Become Chun-Li but in real life.

My favorite part is that he didn't have any cash for a deposit. Like, first of all, he could do and should have done a cash advance on his credit card, and second of all he should have arranged for the apartment in advance either through the university or just on his own through an international wire transfer... I guess... but more importantly, why would you try to get an apartment if you don't even have enough cash for the deposit?

i bet he literally decided to do this a couple of days before he left.

Gotta appreciate the um bravado though. Kids take a class on filling out the FAFSA for their local community college (no joke) and this guy jumps in feet first.

[BIONIC]

He did, if he did. But, its the chicago PD.

This is a good situation for waiting this one out. I mean, this is borderline missing half of your brain stupid. If he did this, we need his card back. I don't know of if the LGBTQ community does cards.. but yeah...

Its the Chicago PD. Thats my only reservation on condemning the dude until the dust clears.

Can't believe he is wasting the money his dad gave his life up for to go cry in a commie country

Yes, I'm a fucking loser idiot who is having the worst day of his life. I just want to go home, I miss my family, I miss not feeling lost, I miss not having to worry about whether or not my credit card works.

You went to a foreign country on credit? how long before OP dies?

Credit cards are just more convenient though. So long as you let your bank know beforehand you are going abroad so your card doesn't get put on hold, you can just do a cash advance at the ATM instead of carrying around a wad of foreign cash. Paying interest rates is worth the convenience tbh.

I don't mean to shit on QA Testers btw

Just like that's the worst position to probably verafled someone as, let alone talk like they're part of a development team/industry culture. Especially considering how much that's outsourced these days. I could literally become one probably tomorrow if I wanted to. And my gaming contacts outside The Bire are outdated garbage.

In house QA is one of the most valuable tools a game dev studio can have. Especially if the team is treated as a proper resource an involved in the dev process fully and not just at the end.

I say this as a programmer with 10 years of experience who has dealt with a number of scenarios. If I can have my choice I will never work somewhere that doesn't have a team of dedicated onsite QA again.

Hint: Many devs roam this forum and they do take notice, there’s no other forum with similar importance which isn’t reddit.

Is there a quantifiable way to actually see how much influence Era has? I can buy a lot of devs lurking, but actually taking legit feedback from them?

I'd say the journalist side of things are more in tune with Era, but even then, you got shit like trying to cancel Keighley for his friends when basically everyone on the advertising side of the industry is connected to him in some shape or form. And it's not like the journalist and dev sides have a total symbiotic relationship going on.

Anecdotally, getting in good with Geoff Keighley seems to be valued way more than any random forum.

Also things like Twitter/Facebook/Reddit/Discord are all generally of more interest to developers than NeoGAF or ResetERA ever will be.

The poor Bengalis probably didn't even know she was possibly a citizen until the Brits had already dumped her ass.

There needs to be accountability from the press. They'll take unsubstantiated garbage from Twitter or other hearsay and conjecture and post it as truth, never bother fact checking, never bother with retractions. They don't acknowledge the harm they do to people and businesses on the wrong side of their irresponsible reporting. The field has become a circle jerk of self-righteous bottom feeding scum racing for first dibs on scandal clickbait.

Get 'er done, kid.

ResetERA.com seems to be under the impression that Embassies are just walk in help centers for people from their country. What is the Canadian Embassy in Beijing going to do for a guy whose problems are "did absolutely no planning at all" related? At best they may have an employee willing to let him buy some cash off them since he's afraid to use ATMs. Anything else they'll just direct to him to the endless number of services that exist for getting him out of the country if he wants to bail out. This is assuming they'll actually take an appointment from him.

In Google Translate you can download offline language packs too.

In Google Maps, you can download offline maps for your local city.

These options are buried in the settings but they're in there.

But he'd have to not be in China for this to work?

[benjipwns]

I guess I should probably go outside and explore a bit!! However, I do worry about getting homesick, I had a pretty bad case of it while in France and don't want the same to happen here.

He intended on being in China for five months.

She is also allowed to live there in a suite, waiting for a helicopter ride to take m'lady away.

[benjipwns]

You could argue that clip proves the point, as she not only has the assistance of American War Hero/Musician Val Kilmer to setup events but she is clearly in danger (a white male chasing her like they chased Jussie) and they still only allow her into the gates initially not the embassy.

And I don't think Oheao has Val Kilmer to assist them.

holy shit, OHEAO does want to become Chun Li, one of his threads before his breakdown: https://www.resetera.com/threads/chun-li-appreciation-thread.100777/

Welcome!! I'm in China, so why not celebrate by making a thread on arguably the most popular Chinese character in gaming!
 
(This would make her turn 51 in 2019, however since Street Fighter's timeline ends at Third Strike she is only around 31 at her oldest)

Chun-Li is a police officer that debuted in Street Fighter II to extract revenge for the death of her father at the hands of Shadaloo. She ended up becoming the first female fighting game character, however this was not without some bumps in the road. For example, it was originally planned that she'd have less health than the other characters before being decided to give her the same amount:


She has various styles (in fact she has more outfits in SFV than anyone else), but her most iconic is her famous qipao. However, her Alpha outfit is also fairly-well known, and a recent favourite is her Battle outfit from V:
 

This is my basic introduction to Chun-Li! Please post your own thoughts on her if you'd like!​

ANTHEM REVIEW THREAD EXPOSES THE ALT-RIGHT AGENDA:

With respect I thought that on Era, we were not advertising people who have views akin to GG.

Isn’t he also alt right?

You gotta realize there are people here who align with his views so they don’t care and will keep posting his shit. There are also those who don’t know.

Ugh, this is awful. That's the second PewDiePie supporter that I find out about and unsubscribe this week. Good riddance.

is there a list of youtube personalities to avoid?

Man learning about Skillup's views is really disappointing. I remember watching a video on the other channel when he sarcastically say "the wah-mans" when talking about something, most likely the Battlefield that released recently.

I hope the Warframe devs stop working with him, and giving him access. They have a lot of high level front line women in their studio too, he conducted interviews with the dev team that included two women employees and one male. Very disappointing.

Loooooots of people revealing themselves in this thread.

astro had like a five page meltdown over it: https://www.resetera.com/threads/anthem-review-thread.100436/post-18108935

His views are part of the problem, there's no excuse for them and we shouldn't support people like that imo.

He doesn't have to be alt-right to be harmful.

If you're using terms like SJW you're causing harm. This isn't some bullshit purity test, it's fact.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/anthem-review-thread.100436/post-18109672

There's no excuse for using terms like SJW or supporting a white person using the n-word in the way PDP did.

We're trying to build a community that stands against these things, I thought?

This is not about "difference of opinion". There's no side worth listening to when they start throwing around term like "SJW" and defending use of hateful speech.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/anthem-review-thread.100436/post-18118354

Actually, my post is defending someone who chose to post an Anthem review in the Anthem review topic and got jumped on by people who aren't 100% on board with the reviewer's politics.

And since when is SJW a term that we've stopped embracing? I'd still gladly identify as an SJW, since the term itself doesn't read as derisive and ends up coming off as empowering (we are, after all, people who fight for social justice).

Again... it's not just a difference of opinion, it's harmful language and presentation that perpetuates hate and inequality.

SJW is a prerogative term, don't play coy. It would take you two seconds to realize this if you actually ever looked it up.

[PogiJones]

SJW is a prerogative term

 

[Averon]

Crazy how they themselves elevated 'SJW' to such seriousness and importance that it must be considered a 'slur' worthy of banning anyone who uses it instead of treating it like the dumb, played out internet lingo it is.

[PogiJones]

No no, it's a prerogative. You have a right to say SJW that no alt-right bigot can take away.

Although that declaration kinda makes the rest of his post moot

Actually, he runs as a democrat in the primary, specifically to avoid running against a dem in the general, then switches to being an independent in the general. Which is what I expect should he win the nomination for president.

Dems should put up a nominee then, fuck that noise
