Why do people there think he's already won the Democratic nomination? He's still 585 delegates short.

[clothedmacuser]

Don't you ever talk to him!   You don't need his not approved thoughts or to hear opposing ideas.






Yes mother, I was wrong to have non-home thoughts.

[Uncle]

Western media is incapable of portraying him as anything but a monster. They simply lack the language to describe the alternatives to Capitalism as anything short of ghoulishly evil. The idea of ever portraying the Russians for instance as the main forces which defeated the Nazis and freed the Jews from the concentration camps is still unimaginable for many even if that is objectively what happened.

of what, mods 

every other ban is a paragraph explaining in detail, inflammatory support of sexist rhetoric, consistent history of disingenuous behavior over a series of posts

inflammatory support of socialism which is still superior to capitalism don't get me wrong, but he worded it kinda poorly

Must be nice not having to work so you can spend all your time reposting random news stories on ResetERA.com

[benjipwns]

He even CAN'T be the nominee since that's not how it works. If Biden steps down, the nominee is whoever's he picks to run in his place which would likely be his running mate.

lol that's not how it works, why would you think it works this way

what if he died for example

[Pwnz]

ROFL at these bans. At this point the only explanation is Evilore is a mod, trying to restore gaf.

[Merch]

Stalin didn't have a particular hatred of Jews, the doctor's plot was more about his paranoia than jew hating. A lot of doctors at the time happened to be Jewish, he wasn't going after them specifically. Anti-semitism was a thing you could be reported and imprisoned for in Stalinist Russia.

Dismissing antisemitism is still fine on RE.

[benjipwns]

I remember reading that Stalin was like Nixon supposedly. In terms of getting in private and being crazy antisemetic to where even antisemites were disturbed at the level of it.

[Tasty]

Good to hear. Especially because all those idiots on twitter etc. look even more stupid now with their "it's an employee who didn't get paid" excuse, just to attack Naughty Dog. Hilarious.

Yes. Hilarious.

But not as much as this post. 

[benjipwns]

That's the thing, that's not how the system works. Biden drops out, he's the one who gets to pick the nominee which would presumably be his running mate.

how do I remotely kill this guy

[Tasty]

Late to this LOU2 leak thread hullaballoo, good God

So basically it’s okay unless you get caught? Well they got caught and will face the law accordingly.

[Tasty]

Why are people acting like spoilers deserve actual prison time or financial ruin?

This is intellectual property.

Imagine if 45 minutes of Avengers: End Game was leaked two months before release? This game is sooo story driven. People are paying for the narrative experience. While I think jail time is ridiculous the person responsible should be held financially accountable. If not, it sets a terrible precedent and will have companies thinking twice before sinking this level of money and resources into single player experiences like this.

GOOD.

FUCK STORY-DRIVEN GAMES.

lol that's not how it works, why would you think it works this way

as described by law in the event of nominee death, the remaining nominees all take their places equidistantly spread around the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool and Biden's corpse is allowed to float for 50 minutes (one for each state), when time has elapsed whichever nominee his head is pointed towards receives the official nomination

[benjipwns]

"The Star War would have made $2 billion if the plot wasn't leaked six months in advance, therefore, you, Mr. John Q. Public owe The Walt Disney Company $926 million, your wages and your descendants wages and assets will be garnished until payment is complete with interest."

imagine the nomination process is actually just to choose who gets to unilaterally pick the nominee, most people naturally choose themselves but sometimes you get that wildcard who wins it and says "alright I'm dropping out and I'm naming the actual nominee as Joe Rogan lol"

Listen, Sony is as important to gaming as Disney is to movies, no, perhaps even MORE important. Gaming is a nascent medium being nursed to its full potential by Naughty Dog -- The Last of Us 2 is as important to gaming as the first talky was for films, or Laurence of Arabia, or Freddy Got Fingered.

[benjipwns]

John Ashcroft became Attorney General in part because he lost to a dead guy whose wife was promised to be nominated in his place.

[benjipwns]

Are you saying that The Last of Us 2 is The Birth of a Nation of video games?

[Tasty]

How dare ANYONE cross Sony

[benjipwns]

I feel a tasty fine should be enough and/or a couple of months of house arrest at the most.

I find jail time to be too harsh of a punishment in this case. I don't know the law in detail though or the actual repercussions of such a crime though. I'm going by feelings here.

[Tasty]

That bitch doesn't know what Tasty Fine is and he ain't gonna ever find out.

[benjipwns]

I agree with the sentiment that spoilers aren’t a big deal. However, I think leaking footage of an unreleased narrative feature should be against the law and that there should be safeguards in place to protect those that own and produce such IP.

[benjipwns]

I've seen a few people being anti-law on this one. I'm just curious, not really on any side here, but what makes you feel like the person _shouldn't_ be punished? (It's possible you're not suggesting this, and I'm sorry if I'm misinterpreting your post!)

I don't know if jail time is valid as I don't make laws, but if you signed an NDA, you effectively stole something of value from the company by leaking it. It's basically impossible to translate it to monetary value lost, but I would assume the leaker caused;

Excessive emotional harm to developers who worked really hard on this game
Monetary damage to Sony in the form of lost sales
Public image damage to Naughty Dog
Monetary costs to Sony to shut it down, investigate the cause, and attempt to control the damage from it leaking.

Again, I don't have a side here, but leaking something like this is really serious. It's not just fun for folks on forums right?

anti-law

[benjipwns]

So not even Era is safe? Can mods somehow vet threads before they are posted

Sounding like straight up corporate espionage.

[benjipwns]

I'm not advocating the leaked get shot/hanged but his/her actions have caused lots of pain/suffering and I don't have pity for them.

[benjipwns]

what if Joe Biden leaked the plot of a game and it comes out of his Senate Archive files

Re: Discord Invites

In an effort to clean up the massive backlog, I have made a list of every damn person who I don't have ignore and who isn't in the Discord who asked for an invite since 4/19 for the Discord mods to vet and invite. It's a LOT of people- close to 100. We are going to start vetting and inviting people who we recognize first. Lurkers/people we don't recognize will get lower priority.

Pro Tip: If we don't recognize you AND you have a limited profile so we can't view your post history, you aren't getting in. Please change your settings and PM me if you still want in. Otherwise, you'll be skipped over.

Pro Tip 2: If you are invited and aren't using the same name on Discord as you are here, please PM me and let me know your Discord name so we can keep track of this shit. Thank you.

Pro Tip 3: If you don't have your PMs on, I can't invite you. So turn that shit on if you want an invite.

I'll jump on the bandwagon and inquiry about Discord. Thanks Linkura for leading this!

Dunno if I end up getting in at the end of the day, but no matter what, thanks for the effort! I can imagine vetting 100 people is difficult, time consuming, and frustrating once you get to all us lurkers.

Thank you for clarifying everything and keeping us informed! I understand vetting everyone can be difficult especially if they've been lurking like me.

You're both on the list.

This is going to take a while as most people will have to be okay'd by multiple mods. Hope everyone can continue to be patient.

Would like an invite too please, thanks. Appreciate the update on this and you all doing this.

I would like to be added to The List, please.

Might sound like a broken record here, but I am missing some of the regulars and could stand to learn how to use Discord, so could I get an invite?

I’d like a discord invite as well, if possible.

Dr. Benton Quest

Discord invite you sent me in February is no longer valid. I never used it the first time, but sine it seems everyone finally left, can you send me another? been a part of the community since the gaf days, shouldnt be hard to vet.

Even Kyra of all people called the shit out of you:

It's a little gross tbh. I find it hard to believe some people on here actually care about Tara's accusations when it seems like its more of a tool for them to hope it brings down Biden. At least the people supporting him no matter what have Trump as an excuse. I'm not sure what everyone else wants.

If you look at this and your immediate reaction is "well Biden sucks in other ways" I think it's time to ask yourself what you really care about.

Do you want a well crafted narrative in a great RPG or do you want a generic anime tropefest that has bas sexualization of the women characters and one character that's literally an underage looking sex doll belonging to a potato man that he got from his uncle?

[clothedmacuser]

What was the story in TLOU 1 anyway?

Male figure loses daughter.  Surrogate daughter shows up who he has to deliver.  Reach destination and decide to choose her life over a vaccine for humanity?   

I love Silent Hill more than most but it's clearly not about story so much as it about themes, tone, and nightmare inducing setting.  We're back to it again that ERA thinks games are about deep politics and narrative and then you remember they find politics on the back of cereal boxes. 

They are like a dumber version of the movie Under The SilverLake.  If I like playing Mariokart 64 it must have meaning behind it!  Maybe global warming from co2 emissions, Princess Peach Palace intrigue, Choco Mountain environmental destruction, or Rainbow Road LGBTQA representation.  Just enjoy the damn product.  You don't need to justify it in some heady way!  Especially when you don't produce, add value to, or contribute to the "art" form in any way.

Choco Mountain environmental destruction

choco mountain is commentary on a post-scarcity world: what would happen if we had literally entire mountains made of chocolate, and no one needed go hungry again?

The only thing the developers at ND give a fuck about is the game shipping so they can update their Linkedin accounts and find a better fucking job. They don't give a fuck about spoilers; They have enough to figure out with trying to find a therapist to talk with over ZOOM about all the murders and beheadings they had to watch on LiveLeak and all the times their leads made them scroll endlessly on rotten.com

Is rotten still around? I used to watch it all the time with my dad, as a kid.

Or some of us expected better of people downplaying this as just spoilers. So many people in here with an alarming ignorance on the effect it has on the people who have worked on the game. But no, people have to downplay it to "it's just a game", "it's just spoilers" and "people rooting for faceless corporations".

Someone stealing work that had hundreds of people put years of work in, that had devestated devs crying. God forbid, the one responsible faced some sort of consequences.

Biden was probably surprised there was a 14 year old at the party that he hadn't seen on Epstein Island 


In Biden's defense, maybe she was well endowed for her age.

*Biden walks into party, sees 14 year old... oh shit who invited the kids.... better play Uncle Joe!*

"Hey there Young lady, how old are you?"
*oops she's much shorter than me, this isn't very polite, gotta look down and think of a way to compliment her*
"You look very well endowed for a 14 year old"
*pfew nailed it*

"OMG HE SIZED ME UP CREEPY JOE"


Interactions between old guys and young girls are always creepy af when they're not relatives and even if they are relatives.
