It doesn't help that right-wing grifters have poisoned this site's google search results with nonsense.

As this thread has a lot of metacommentary, we're locking it.

The size of our membership has grown significantly since the month we launched the site, and things like registrations and growth are things we actively monitor. We see healthy growth from new members, including hundreds of registrations per week, and the amount of active (including new) members is very strong.

The polls were rigged!!

Edit: dammit, beaten by mere seconds.

I think it has to do with the harsh/inconsistent moderation. I wouldn't be surprised if this thread were locked for "meta commentary on the site". Almost all similar threads are.

I just wanted to jump in and say that I greatly appreciate this thread. I find it deeply unsettling how a lot of journalists are doing everything in their power to ignore any of the problematic elements of this game.

First of all, ban any discussion outside of this very thread for two weeks. Those being the launch week (launch trailer, review thread, OT, new patch/news thread) and the week after.

This would be AMAZING, as the CDPR-eating-crackers thread becomes overwhelmed as a FUCK YEAH CYBERPUNK / "WTF was with all that prerelease chicken littling about fucking nothing?" combo thread

[thetylerrob]

Talking about how you found Resetera = meta-commentary

Strategically planning how best to ruin discussion of an upcoming game on a gaming discussion board based on perceived sleights = not meta-commentary

I get the feeling M64 are kinda barely scraping by, since all their cons were cancelled this year. They had to move everything virtual and it's clear they were stressing a bit about money at least at the start of the pandemic. Like, they're not going under, but they're a small crew and they're not sailing through smooth waters.

resetera goon squad will never ever admit that their pre release outrage was just over a big nothingburger, never ever.

Hundreds of registrations per week, eh? So I guess with the number of bans weekly, it nets out to a small loss each week?

"Massive tax break"

After all these years they can’t even get a million subs, and most of their videos barely reach 100k.

The gaming community is shit 

[paprikastaude]

What's sad is these people are probably younger than the 11-year old PSP Go video this is referencing.

Mentally? Yes.

[Don Rumata]

This such a stupid and privileged video, people can't even preorder the console or afford it and they are completely destroying one for giggles and private jokes / reference to older videos... I never was a big fan of mega64, but this is completely lost on me 🤷‍♂️

If moderation isn't currently capable to deal with how those two weeks would be like, get additional temporary help from people whose only job would be to lock CDPR/CP2077 threads. I'm sure there are people in this thread who would be willing to help.

The money this kid will save on steam deals and such. 

Just throw in GamePass for PC and he's golden 

Not to mention that once he starts streaming on Twitch the PC will pay for itself 

That money should be given to charity. My current car cost less than that.

No 

[Straight Edge]

It kills me to think he’s gonna spend up to $2500 for fuckin Fortnite.

EDIT: I should clarify, he hasn't saved up shit. His mom is giving him $1500, I'm chipping in the rest. I figure if he's gonna spend that much on a gaming rig, he may as well spend the extra money and future proof it.

No uncle gives $1000 to his nephew unless he is also molesting him.

I think the best option would be if any revenue generated from activity in Cyberpunk threads was donated to charities dedicated to supporting trans people.

I don’t know how feasible that would be and I imagine it would have to be an estimate based on thread views of whatever, but I think it would be a way to ensure that trans rights are being supported regardless of what discussions are being had about the game.

I’m sure cerium will get right on that 

[benjipwns]

If he donates "business expenses" to trans charities than he can write off it through multiple tax breaks!

You'd think this game was an anti transgender hate manifest. They're dumb as fuck

isn't it basically the highest budget pro trans game ever released

a while back people were doing a bechdel test for video games, "can you play a woman," "can you play a minority"

this game explicitly allows trans play more than almost any other

it doesn't relegate it to one token side character or do any deadnaming like mass effect andromeda did



edit: I suppose more accurately it should be said to allow non-transitioned/nonbinary player characters, for those who want an imperfect representation of their chosen gender, looking like man but sounding like woman etc

literally chromanticore mix it up

Better nothing at all than imperfect representation.

I can’t imagine being so devoid of any creativity that THIS is how you make content.

These fucking YouTubers are trash.
 

I know that you REALLY want this to be about a console, but it’s not.

It’s about some assholes blowing $500 during a time when the much of the rest of the world is experiencing economic hardship, only to destroy the purchase *to make more money*.

On top of that, putting other people in your content *and at health risk* without any compensation to them.

Imagine you’re working for $10 an hour, barely getting by *during a pandemic* and some jerkoff with a camera brings a PS5 he clearly smashed to pieces, and then you see it a week later with hundreds of thousands, if not millions of views. You were a part of the content creation and the “joke”, but all you got was annoyed and a chance at catching covid.

Fuck off with your apologist bullshit trying to spin this into console wars. Gross.

Don’t be children.
 

I absolutely do get to call people children. If you think putting other people at risk during a pandemic for clicks is "comedy" then kindly log off the internet forever. Maybe read my second post in this thread. This isn't about the hunk of plastic, it's about the exploitation of people trying to pay bills during a pandemic to make money because you can't be bothered to make real fucking content. It's selfish, reckless, and inconsiderate.

Are all of them in on it? All of the other employees who have to handle the same scanners, work the same shift, or even work the following shifts, etc? And the other customers in the store? They're all in on it too, right? Just one big operation of people safely creating content in public spaces for consumption on the internet. You do realize that COVID aerosols can remain airborne for up to three hours, correct? Even if he's not positive and not a carrier, it still sends a message to many viewers and other youtubers to engage in similar behavior for laughs / clicks / views.

Or do you just think masks mean "welp the virus can't spread anywhere, go be silly internet guys, it's all in good fun!"

I mean, your knee jerk reaction was that I was upset about a console. That speaks volumes to your level of consideration to other human beings.

Maybe get some perspective.
