Or maybe 74% of white people need to educate themselves more on what "defund the police" means. Maybe they don't care about social services and divesting police funds to more essential services. Maybe they're so ignorant that they can't see a world without militarised police used for everything. That's on them, not on PR for defund the police movements.

someone once said

"they all knew exactly what defunding planned parenthood meant."

Its not confusing or complicated. It means less funding.

So strange.

Just had an out of context thought but thought it was sort of amusing so here we go.

 

Nep:

Do you wanna know how I got this car?

My stepfather was a salesman..and a fiend. And one night, he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets me a hire car. He doesn't like that. Not...one...bit.

So, me watching, he takes a contract to her, laughing while he does it.

 He turns to me, and he says, "Why so serious?" He comes at me with the contract - "Why so serious?"

He sticks the contract in my hands - "Let's put a 7% loan on that face!" And... why so serious?

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Sony and Marvel are totally going to make a game where spidey webs up some dudes mouth and then leaves him for the police, the guy asphyxiates, and then the game is an angry mob looking to kill him, fueled by JJ repeatedly showing a clip of the man dying on social media to keep the crowd enraged.

He adored the shit out of his dad in the game, too.

The ironic thing is that the  OG/Ultimate version of his dad was a bigot against mutants.

[Boredfrom]

I’m kinda afraid on how they are gonna play the cop stuff at SpiderMan Miles, the cop stuff is very integrated to PS4’ Miles backstory but I cannot imagine leave it as it is given the social conscious stuff they were starting to push in the first game.   

[ShutUp]

"You don't want a comic book video game to talk about civil rights issues just so you can swing around virtual Manhattan"

Yeah? No shit? Most people playing a Spider-Man game literally just want to swing around virtual Manhattan and beat up some bad guys, with Spidey giving us quips in the process.

[paprikastaude]

Modern Naughty Dog is trash and gamers licking their boots are braindead. They are either too afraid of sales failure or too untalented to mix their trite narrative with gameplay that fits. So instead you end up with a cliche "likeable" hipster that basically commits genocide for treasure and somehow you're supposed to root for him like Indiana Jones. Nope, doesn't work. "B-b-but that's EVERY game, silly!  ". Yeah, no. Not in my top 100. Fucking Kojima handled ludonarrative dissonance more subtle on PS1 than these clowns.  Then for your "serious" game use the most basic forms of emotional manipulation, brehs. Uh oh, they killed a child 30 mins in. So brave!  Seen a reviewer of Part 2 today who felt so sad killing dogs. The next best low hanging fruit to force cheap compassion right after sad little girls

Nier 1 is by far the smartest take on this kind of gaming morale, despite some leftover animu tropes. While it also takes advantage of gaming as a narrative medium, instead of trying to bend games into a pretentious indie movie. When it comes to Naughty Dog-esque gamedesign, Hellblade is the only positive example I can think of.

edit: Demanding Spiderman to become a protest walking simulator is also pretty dumb.

[Nintex]

Sony first party is just a whole bunch of pretentious nerds.

If their "games" were third party and not ammo in a console war no one would buy that shit.

Things are getting spicy in that Marx thread

You’re trying to curry favor with the mod staff, which you will probably succeed at. Cuba was not the topic of the thread, gay rights were not the topic of the thread, but the site general manager abused his power and made that off-topic post in order to keep up the site’s generally antipathy toward leftists. He couldn’t let the smallest praise for Cuba go unchallenged.

And you will get a pass on implying I’m anti-gay rights because B-Dubs and his staff don’t like my politics.

After him tripling down on transphobia, it is hard for me to ever consider watching anything by him again. His views on us are repugnant and he shouldn't have a platform. Honestly the praise he is getting is really upsetting, like none of that shit ever happened.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I'm not trying to shit up the thread, but I want people on this forum to REMEMBER this kind of shit when they start saying Biden, or any democrat, would be the fucking same as Trump. REMEMBER this shit. Trump doesn't give a fuck about anybody but himself. You can argue about positions and policies from the democrats till the cows come home, but dems aren't trying to take away rights from minorities like Trump and his admin has. Stop fucking saying they're the same. They aren't. They aren't the same ballpark. They aren't even the same fucking sport.

I'm not really sure who this is directed at to be honest. While there are a lot of criticisms about the amount of work Democrats put into making things actively better for minorities, most trans people and close allies of trans people weren't the people ever voting Republican or pretending that there was no difference at all. Some people definitely had strong emotional reactions to Biden and the accusation surrounding him, but I don't think anyone ever considered the two candidates the exact same.

mmm, yes, "some people" had "strong reactions" to Biden.
"Some people" dropped the 'privilege' card on anyone saying that they were not prepared to give up a vote based on allegations
"some people" even ate a month long ban for their continued attacking anyone who intended voting for anyone but trump

Some weird drama on Twitter with Jeff Cat and Jason Scheirer regarding this game. Has it been discussed here?

Yeah, nothing came out of it except disaster and mod said to stop discussing Twitter wars (and off forum drama) on here. It’s incredible the emotional impact this game ALREADY has on people that haven’t even played it. It’s how you know Naughty Dog has something special here.

 

I do have a legitimate question tho
Has there ever been proof that a vast majority or some eviewers being paid off?

Because that excuse gets thrown around so much that it feels so unfair to the reviewers.

 

Given the success of the reviews, how is it that those famous gaming outlets are "unscored" ? I'm asking this seriously, I've never seen Polygon, Eurogamer, Kotaku, Skillup, Ars Technica, GameXplain all go "unscored" at once. This is a major single player game, no connexion or server issues held them back. What is happening ?

 



 

[VomKriege]

I love the fact that they restricted the reviews.

Hopefully these type of restrictions are something Sony will continue to do for all their future games. The last thing we need is hundreds of people with review copies being free to spoil the shit out of a game a week before release.

 

[VomKriege]

There's a little salt in me because I want Final Fantasy VII Remake to win most of the Game of the Year awards but I knew in my heart that it had no chance going up against The Last of Us Part II. Congrats to Naughty Dog on their success.

Wait...you thought even without this game FFVIIR had a shot at that?
Like for real? How?

Man, this game can't catch a break.

I want to puke after reading his tweet.

 

[Transhuman]

Imagine trusting any review outlet who'd put their nuts in such a tight vice willingly, and who would instantly be cut off from getting review copies (and recieve a deluge of hate mail) if they dared review it negatively.

"Hey maybe the publisher shuldn't get to dictate what reviewers say in their review"
"I'M GOING TO PUKE"

[VomKriege]

https://twitter.com/Charalanahzard/status/1271578001608634368

How?

Sounds like something else spoiled you then, not the tweet, because I have no idea wtf you're talking about

I know nothing more than you do. I just said that tweet seems spoilery. I might be wrong.

Exactly. All this finger wagging about Naughty Dog's depiction of violence is completely absent when talking about games like Mortal Kombat 11, which actually disgusts me with its excessive and photo-realistic gore.

I don't feel good about posting this because it's about a black man found hanging from a tree. The coroner ruled no foul play.  There is a case linked in that thread about another black male who did the same thing.

It seems pretty easy to determine foul play in such a case.  Are there bruises on arms, wrists, or ankles where he was restrained?  Any broken bones or bruising caused from a beating?  Any drugs that would disable the victim?  Any defensive wounds as they protected themselves from a knife attack or other?  Does depression and suicide only effect young white girls?

Instead of mourning they choose to make a conspiracy theory to fit their world view.  "OMG, he was found dead 2 blocks from a police station.  That must mean the police were involved."    I'm sure there was a Starbucks closer to him.  Are they to blame?

 The way they twist and create paranoid grievances to suit their political views is simply disgusting.  Consider all the people they wished death upon and then once they committed suicide they suddenly jockeyed to be the most remorseful and saddened. 

It's like when some girl in high school dies by a DUI driver and they put on the most preformative grieving so they get the attention.   That basically describes Era.  They are the abused Theater Kids who are on a mission to prove that Event X has left them in the most anguish and they need the most emotional reassurance.

[VomKriege]

What? From what I've seen he just reviews stuff on his channel at least Sony found it okay to supply him with a review code, I'll trust their judgement thank you.

Ok, so I have to report you. What a bummer.

[VomKriege]

Doesn't matter how much it's repeated: The Last of Us is not a story about zombies. I think being reductionist is understandable for a simple fan (or rather, the total opposite), but a professional journalist should stay above that level of public discourse. If someone thought the other tweets were hyperbolic, then answering with simplified points is not the best course of action either.

 

Oh god

Schreier flippantly dismissing TLOU II as "the new zombie videogame" was frankly rude and disrespectful, particularly from someone that's so knowledgeable and tied into the industry, someone who fully understands the sacrifices and blood and sweat that it takes to make a game like this.

It's like calling The Shawshank Redemption "the new prison escape movie" or The Godfather "the new shooting movie" or 2001: A Space Odyssey "the new sci-fi adventure movie". It's disingenuous and he knows it.

My GF thinks I'm a pussy....

Today is a beautiful day, and I want to spend it outside, but my girlfriend wants to go shopping, out to eat, and go to a park. But I just don’t feel it’s safe. I live in a very bad area in terms of covid, and while I get the impulse to go out and act normal, I just can’t do it. I told her this and she said I can’t live in fear and to just wear a mask everywhere. But I’ve been out to get groceries and NO ONE is wearing a mask. I feel like people look at me like I’m a freak because I’m the only one. I don’t want this to get heated but it’s just not smart. My dad has diabetes, and I do not want to risk it.
