It's a play on the expression "Rage out" and/or "Hulk out"

Get outraged tho

And the Ape is literally breaking out. It's the perfect name. The perfect name!

Not as good as Hotline Harambe

when it comes to gaming? Probably none. Gamers are trash. You'll have to look for smaller communities. Maybe Dwarf Fortress or some shit.

[tiesto]

The Ape Out thing is a Dhalsim level stretch, but you do you, Era. The best is the people who were like "I never heard the term Chimp Out before but now that I have it's time to muster up massive outrage". Is Toki: Going Ape Spit or Ape Escape now dogwhistles?

Are you seriously using the image of a dark-skinned man in an attempt to counter this concept

[Don Rumata]

It's like, 2 or 3 "scandals" a day now, i can't keep up, even with this thread acting as an outrage aggregator.

[Great Rumbler]

It's like the five-degrees of Kevin Bacon of outrage. Eventually you'll connect enough to dots to get from your starting point to a Nazi or CP aficionado.

[Averon]

Them getting angry about 'Ape Out' is EXACTLY why the mods don't indulge them in banning games. If 'Ape Out' that is enough to trigger them, then what game can avoid the ban-hammer?

I am gonna buy Ape Out and pretend that I'm the ape and the people I'm mowing down are Era.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I was just listening to a radio piece about the #fakenews momo scandal

 - @momo stop terrifying my kids you piece of shit -

that the UK press have been ablaze with the last few days, and how the nominally reputable fact checking reputable mainstream press... well, fucking aren't fact checking, because they want those clicks and don't want to look like they're behind everyone else with the news, and a childrens internet safety expert or some shit used an amazing phrase why parents shouldn't freak the fuck out and stop their kids going online;

Digital Resilience.

That's what era lack. Digital fucking resilience. I can only assume their middle class parents had active netnanny subscriptions for most of their formative years.

Now, that's not to say I want kids being exposed to the kinds of heinous shit that exists online, but all I'll say is I've been tubgirled and it will take an awful fucking lot to shock me online now.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Yeah, 8ch's bad news. They have not only a full on doxxing board (/baphomet/), but CP and White Nationalist related boards

hey, why only be incredibly specific about the doxxing board on this website thats bad news and you're obviously completely unfamiliar with.
there are so many boards, you need to be incredibly specific about which ones are hosting all that other bad stuff, so era members know exactly what to avoid on the website they definitely dont visit.

User Banned (1 week): Driveby Trolling; rhetoric associated with hate and harassment movement

Anita coming out of the woodwork again? She hasn't been relevant in a minute, huh. I mean good for inclusivity but this is the person who made a career of criticizing games and then defends them when trump was saying they might be bad after that shooting happened. She needs to pick an opinion and stick with it, not flip flop at will when someone who she hates just happens to agree with her on something, thus creating an inconvenient situation for her. Consistency is more important than politics, but for anita it seems to be the other way around.

I have a PSA too.


Test that all of the buttons work the day you get it.


It wasn't until I tried to play Dark Souls, that I found out that my left analog stick doesn't click in. So, I can't play with lock-on unless I use a pro-controller.


Unfortunately I didn't recognise this until 6 months after I bought the Switch. Most games don't use the L3/R3 style buttons and I was just playing Mario Kart and Smash before Dark Souls.

Being fair, she has been consistent in saying that she doesn’t hate video games and don’t actually want anything banned... is just obvious she has a extreme contempt for the hobby and doesn’t even bother in play the games she is criticizing.

Nah, she sits in the Jack Thompson sphere of "criticizing games", but gets a pass. I don't think anyone would even care about her if she wasn't so fucking dishonest about her "criticism".

Theres a whole thread of women whinging about videogames on era.
Its always good for a chuckle.

Last time I looked they were complaining about Jill Valentines alt costume in Resi 2, because it looks like something an ordinary woman would have happen to have been wearing when the zombie apocalypse happened, not like she is constantly in paramilitary uniform even on her day off.

which I'm pretty sure is, you know, the fucking point.

Nothing wrong with that.

I just saying she sucked at it most of the time. And that is kind of infuriating given that there is legit criticism or good points she could make but she undermined. One video of her had a really good example of how video game marketers tried to appeal to consumers with sexuality provocative stuff but the it devolved in complaining about Hitman missions being sexist because she was able to kill female NPC.

There was ton of goodwill towards her because she was genuinely harassed. But at some point it become a “never even imply she sucks at criticizing games”.

Anita's going back to that video games dead horse to beat it again? Well, it isn't surprising. Her branching out to other ventures has been, at best, ineffectual if not an outright failure. Even her fellow SocJus cohorts don't seem to care about her any more. What better way to get eyes back on you by doing what made you infamous in the first place. I'm sure there are idiots on both sides that will give her the attention she's craving, which is what she's banking on.

The new series isn’t even hosted by Anita, though. But Carolyn Petit (who was also a pretty questionable game critic at Gamespot).

I don't see a problem with that.
It's their time and money, there's hundreds of thousands of videos uploaded to Youtube every day, it's really easy to ignore one person you don't give a shit about (except Jordan Peterson).

I think people on the internet, in general, are too worried with other people spending time and money in what they perceive as "scams".
