The daily doomsday thread on era based on clickbaity fearmongering by the media.

[Uncle]

ERA loves their emotional blackmail arguments.

The vast majority of legal gun owners don't commit crimes with their guns so I don't understand the problem. If you are uncomfortable with guns don't buy one.

Say that to all the victims of mass shootings. What a fucking disingenuous post.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/we-need-guns-because-police-is-2-hours-far-from-here.120604/page-2#post-21380878

My suggestion is that any society that has a prevailing feeling that it is necessary to own a gun for self defence is a completely broken society that has some serious cultural and social baggage to deal with. I would also suggest that many of those people have deep rooted psychosocial problems that, in almost any other society, would exclude them from owning a gun at all.

The self defence aspect of it is overblown -it's marginal, stat wise- and I don't disagree maybe a problem in itself but rural ownership of guns (hunting rifles often) is not uncommon, traditional, and does have practical / leisure uses.

I'm a hunter and own a few guns for that purpose so I hope I haven't given you the wrong idea about where I'm coming from. I just have a problem with any society that thinks self-defence is a legitimate reason for owning a gun. It's madness.

you need to understand that America is so large that it is very easy to live in the middle of nowhere, an hour drive from the nearest anything

even 20 minutes drive from the nearest anything is risky

what do you expect someone to do when it's the middle of the night and someone has targeted your little family farm in the middle of nowhere?  stealing your cattle or your chickens, robbing your house, coming after you or your family?  you seriously think they should defend themselves with a knife?  who knows if this dude brought friends, or if he has a gun of his own?

and you the farmer already have a gun next to you bed anyway to shoot varmints so why aren't you going to use that for defense as well

[BisMarckie]

I am pretty sure an Australian knows about living in the middle of nowhere. 

[BisMarckie]

I'm not sure what will disappoint more in the long run... The actual newsletter from Dan or the fact that seemingly the rest of the staff or the site as a whole will just ignore it and move on to the next video like nothing happened.

Nice to see that Jeff is on Twitter for once and yet still no reaction for Dan's bullshit

i might write gbeast, or maybe just dan specifically, a physical letter.

Still fighting the good fight

Stop living in the middle of nowhere or stop complaining about how there's no doctors or police but plenty of coyotes. Nobody needs to live so far it takes 2 hours to drive to Walmart. Surely there are closer places that's not in Bigfoot's fucking doorstep

some people aren't privileged enough that they can just live anywhere they want or suddenly uproot their family and lives to move a 2+ hour drive away

this is ridiculously condescending, ableist and classist against the economically disadvantaged and is the same reason we worked so hard to get Adam Orth fired and deplatformed all those years ago

(Image removed from quote.)

1) Fair point.
2) Orth was an asshole and deserved to be fired. Joking or not, he was part of MS and should've let the backlash blow over instead of putting salt into the wound, so to speak.

Too lucrative of a business with all the alt right otakus for the US and Japan to fight it. This is all sad.

 

The billion dollar alt-right otaku industry!

Are these guys too stupid to realize that there might also just be opposition on principle? That a drawing is just a drawing is very much an arguable position

Only Alt Right Otakus from Tyrol secretly stanning for pedos would make such an argument or discuss the merit of legal reasonings in the context of international regulations.

[HaughtyFrank]

It has already been decided that if you keep a gun for self defense you're a filthy racist

The fear of "home invasions" by rural folks inevitably goes back to racism. They think roving mobs of black people are going to break in, murder their family and possibly rape their wife.

If you rip this blatantly, without obscuring anything and you know the original artwork you kinda start to feel there is some connection going on. Didn't take long to verify. pretty sure the trunk texture behind it is also ripped, but Ghibli painted many trees.

uh....

do you just keep a library of ghibli textures, because if you do, give links

Why is it your, or anyone's place, really, to determine where someone should live?

Those people AREN'T complaining.

It's painfully obvious that 99% of posters in here have no clue how rural life works.

Yeah everyone should just consolidate into the major metro areas. Buncha morons amirite

Is this a joke?

Wow, what a hot fucking take.

This is a very reasonable and realistic solution /s

Yeah I searched "DanRyckert newsletter" and "giantbomb newsletter" and I wouldn't say it's glowing. It's more like barely anyone is talking about it lol.

Most of it seem to be "huh, wrestling."

I counted.

6 people @ Dan on Twitter about the newsletter and Megasoum was the only one who's negative.

That said

I'd like to add; Fuck WWE

Dan talks about WWE.

[BisMarckie]

Okay I'll bite, what's the supposed GB controversy?

Dan Ryckert wrote a newsletter in which he said that he hopes the WWE improves.
If you think that sounds crazy and the biggest nothingburger ever, you'd be right.

[Joe Molotov]

Okay I'll bite, what's the supposed GB controversy?

Dan Ryckert, a man who got married at Taco Bell, was like "hmmm, I wonder how this new wrassle league is gonna affect WWE", and RE was like OMG WWE IS CANCELLED YOU ABSOLUTE NAZI SCUM!

[nachobro]

Okay I'll bite, what's the supposed GB controversy?

Nothing really. They put out a dumb newsletter you can subscribe to that released every month or so (I'm not actually subscribed so not totally clear on it lol) with each staff member taking a turn writing about some dumb bullshit that usually isn't games related.

Dan did the one for this month and it was about WWE and how much he likes wrestling and how he wants AEW (new big money wrestling company) and WWE to compete and make both shows better. Resetti is in a rage because he didn't point out every bad thing WWE has done in the past 30 years and that they are CANCELLED now but instead was positive overall.

It's really nothing major or out of character for Dan but Resetti is frothing at the mouth over it and complaining that no one else is enraged (even pointing out that the Waypoint forums are morally lacking for not being upset like they are)

[marrec]

One of the many things that absolutely baffles me about some people on ERA. Giant Bomb talks about the WWE nearly every week... but they're mad at Dan's newsletter because...

Oh wait I get it, these people don't actually consume any Giant Bomb content they just have an algorithm that searches for problematic things.

[nachobro]

Oh also there was a bit on the Beastcast last week where Dan said "Metal Gear isn't political its just about armies and nukes and stuff" and the rest of the cast pretended to be upset at him in an over the top manner. Because resetti has no knowledge of jokes or humor they assume this now means Dan is on the verge of being CANCELLED and fired and assume this is their time to pounce.

Reactions to the MGS stuff from Dan are not good on Twitter. Some negative comments regarding the newsletter too. It's not just here.

I think the MGS talk was what broke the camel's back and then when we were recovering the fucking newsletter broke it for good.

take a guess

[marrec]

oh god they're so stupid

[BisMarckie]

Dan Ryckert also FAILED to address the killing of Jamal Khashoggi and stayed silent and is therefore COMPLICIT.


Who doesn't want their foreign affairs commented on by this guy?

Why would the waypoint community care about giantbomb stuff though?

WELL THEY SHOULD !

I love Dan and all he's done for Giant Bomb, but sometimes I just feel like everyone else on the crew needs to yell at him about the stupid shit he says. Not in their funny, jokey way, but legit like "What the fuck is wrong with you?" MGS is as political as big budget games get, Walmart is a terrible company that doesn't deserve celebrating, and Vince McMahon should be no one's hero.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/giant-bomb-ot-14-bigdickdaddydom.115512/post-21295372

https://www.resetera.com/threads/giant-bomb-ot-14-bigdickdaddydom.115512/post-21295798

Y’all keep suggesting someone needs to educate Dan or he needs to educate himself, but he has zero intellectual curiosity and no desire to learn and retain information. Anyone bothering to try would be wasting their time and effort. You can’t force someone to learn.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/giant-bomb-ot-14-bigdickdaddydom.115512/post-21295810

Jeez. I also am really getting tired of Dan's schtick. Not that I think it is all just a schtick but seriously his ignorance is getting so frustrating to me.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/giant-bomb-ot-14-bigdickdaddydom.115512/post-21295856

I'm starting to feel like the Dan Rykert character isn't really a character at all.

the best thing about Dan Rykert is that time he tormented Patrick Klepek for like 30-40 hours with some extremely demented Mario Maker levels



that is genuine pain, from the end of an hour and 20 minute video of him beating his head against the wall

 

[marrec]

His apology for his heated gaming moment is still brought up as the best example of such an apology... but I have little doubt he would be persona non grata to many on ERA if he slipped up today #rip
