IT'S TREASON THEN !

The last pages also have "I'm surprised MS didn't just buy Sony outright" 

It's not good that PlayStation had no say.
It's like PlayStation is the child and Sony are the parent deciding which cloud service the child is allowed.
Very strange.

[BisMarckie]

Hell, there is a "gay" bar here in Philly that I actively avoid because they've become a "Gay themed" straight bar. Annoying straight people who didn't know how to keep their hands to themselves has been a problem for years, but the last time I was there I was literally stalked from floor to floor by a drunk straight girl who wouldn't stop grabbing at my junk. Didn't stop until I said to her, "Look, if you were a dude doing this to me? I would have already hit you."

And what did she do? Start crying.

And then everybody clapped. That woman's name? Albert Einstein.

[BisMarckie]

If that story was true however, we have a moderator threatening a woman. Not a good look.
No surprise women are leaving the site in droves and sabrina is probably not okay,

And meanwhile I know that the next wash_doges is set in london and the next assysins creed is about vikings, not because I got to watch the trailer revealing that, but because kotaku gossiped it, and it gets to be a fucking thread title with zero ambiguity on resetera.

So get mad about well known plot points from games 20 fucking years old, but cavalierly ruin big picture concepts of games that aren't even fucking announced yet.

Wait, is this a serious post?

Only in as much as the cultural ouroboros hasn't yet brought a textual analysis of promotional materials into a mainstream field of criticism and analysis, but GameExplain are doing pioneering work in this field

Wow, I can't believe the real Anthony Hopkins is posting on Era and has such a bad take

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I guess a Youtubers acrimonious divorce proceedings, and the prurient hearsay surrounding it remains a productive and relevant topic for ongoing commentary on a videogaming forum, despite it having every appearance of just """""celebrity""""" gossip

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

A low social credit score will exclude you from well-paid jobs, make it impossible for you to get a house or a car loan or even book a hotel room.

This is - of course - entirely different to regular Credit Scores systems, which also do exactly that, but its fine that in the west we give banks that kind of power, but the sinister orientals cede that power to government.

We’ve had this thread like 5 times at least. And in reality, in practice, at least how it currently exists, it’s not at all like what you read about. Not defending the ccp or saying that it’s a good thing or anything of the sort. But it’s mostly just a sensational story for the west at this point. The future probably it will be different aka worse. Also not saying it’s not worth discussing, just saying it’s been discussed countless times on here and mostly it devolves to “fuck china” posts instead of actual discussion about anything of value.

Also this.

I mean, its just that baffling the exact same 'news' keeps coming out from a declining super power involved in a trade war with an emerging one.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I mean, China is a real world example of literally exactly the kind of system that the "GUILLOTINES!", "Muh freeze peach!", "#cancelled" types on Era ostensibly want to live in.
Weird how they consistently rail against the things they claim they want every time its brought up.

Jon Snow stabs Dany and exiles himself North of the wall

 

[ResetBanBot]

I'm surprised to learn that people thought Daenerys was supposed to be a "good guy". Dany has always been an unlikable antagonist character which commonly acted as the oblivious villain throughout the entire show.

It's not a twist ending and if you thought it was, you probably weren't paying attention. It's actually the most obvious ending and for that reason makes it boring. I guess if you're a brainlet you'd find it a shock because they didn't spend the entire season having drawn out dialogue scenes where they have flash backs to all the villainous and unhinged things Danny has done throughout the show, along with her entire megalomaniac ego-driven personality.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/now-game-of-thrones-is-over-what-will-videogame-websites-do-for-content-jim-sterling.117979/post-20951364

I think this is a side effect of how mainstream gaming has become. Gaming used to be more narrow because producing content for gamers specifically was filling a niche. A gaming website catered to a specific identity by producing content you wouldn't find elsewhere. Nowadays I just don't think that's true. Gaming is a facet of everyday entertainment in a way it has never been before and a lot of people move freely between their interests. Websites and channels that generally produced gaming content have found that their audience is also very in to things like Game of Thrones or Marvel so they produce that content as well.

I mean, just look at the overlap even on our forum. The overlapping interest is huge. Even though I care for neither, there's no denying the consistency.

I think websites and channels that focus on one thing specifically will always be a thing, but for successful mainstream platforms it's easy to expand your scope and keep your audience captive over all the different things they're interested in.

Yeah, nothing says an activity is mainstream more than media specifically devoted to it not having enough to write about that they end up covering a bunch of other shit instead.

wait, what?

This thread should bear plenty of fruit...


https://www.resetera.com/threads/did-you-ever-feel-the-black-sheep-of-your-family.117962/post-20947272

I am the black sheep of my family. All my other siblings and mum are highly educated, they love travelling, all have partners, good paying jobs, they’re extroverts. I’m struggling to even get into university, I don’t like travelling, struggling to get a decent paid job and have no desire to find a romantic partner at all. I’m a very introverted person, basically.

I bet you couldn't see that coming from this absolute Muppet.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/did-you-ever-feel-the-black-sheep-of-your-family.117962/post-20947302

Yes, definitely. My family is religious, I'm not. They're moderate-right politically, I'm progressive left. They're successful, for the most part, and despite having a reasonably good education with a CS background I'm not (this is mostly my own fault). All my siblings are married, I'm not, and thus have contributed basically nothing to anyone in that regard. Most of the things I value everyone in my family thinks is silly or stupid. I've had trouble with alcohol / drug abuse in the past, nobody in my family has. Issues of MDD as well, which is shared by only 1 family member, who unfortunately is basically impossible to talk to about it. Videogames are a huge passion of mine, and nobody has that same passion, so I desperately try to find or understand other reasonable passions of family members so I can connect on that level. It's very, very frustrating, isolating, and depressing.

So yeah, I feel that way because I am that way, I guess, but I'm not mad at them for it. Just the way things are.

Is there a bigger collection of socially inept people on the internet?

Dota 2 is no longer free to play if you want to have the best experience. In this year’s Dota 2 “Battle Pass” — a premium subscription that usually offers cosmetics and other optional curiosities to the game — Valve bundled one of the most important features it has ever created. Players who buy the Battle Pass can now use an “experimental” Avoid Player feature, which is supposed to keep toxic players away from you. Here’s a different way to say it: Valve is now charging players a minimum of $9.99 to avoid harassers.

I like to call it a "soyboy tax".

[nachobro]

valve includes beta test features in the battle pass somewhat regularly. if it tests well, this will be included in the base game for free. i can forgive these people for not knowing that because dota 2 sucks and you shouldn't play it anyway.

Are there any studies that correlate success in life with political leanings? Or is the connection between progressive beliefs, poor mental health, and destitution on resetera spurious?

[Don Rumata]

what's the story behind riotous' beef with shosta?

Openly spoiled the GoT finale, guess he read the leaks.

Can’t think of a more rational use of the ignore feature.  But supposedly I’m undiagnosed aut-istic for it lol

On the one hand, the euphoric-edgelord-samurai image above, is absolutely spot on, for Shosta's post.
On the other hand, it did save me 50 minutes.

People tragically misunderstand white saviorism if they think Dany is a white savior type. She is a savior, but not a white savior because who is white in Game of Thrones?

You need whiteness in order to be a white savior. Dany isn’t white nor is anybody else in Game of Thrones

The entire internet is open spoiling game of thrones because it is both the biggest event on television and really bad.

If you only have the last episode left, it's too late for that.
But also people saying they "wasted ten years on this" are full of shit, because it's 50 minutes a week for 10 week a year, you're probably wasting 20 times that, reading a posting hot takes on Twitter.
