biden is losing the coveted yass queen demo = (

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

So I do have an update. I got an email from the professor of our module, saying (slightly paraphrased)

dear writerinthedark

some of your classmates have reported they have attempted to ask you for help in completing their academic work, and you have by all accounts, unkindly refused to do so. In this year of covid turmoil, kindness can mean a great deal to people struggling with so much, and I would ask you to reflect on this the next time you are approached in such a way.

Regards, mr teacher.

This OP is about this email from their professor, and (as usual) era are falling over themselves to massage their ego (again), but given this posters history of misinterpreting events to paint themselves in the best possible light to cover up their own massive university fuck ups with hilarious thread backfiring results has me wondering what the actual deal is here, because the entire chat they blocked were calling them a selfish prick according to their own OP, and reading through the carefully sugar coated language and emphasis on "being kind" it sounds like their professor is also asking them if they can possibly be less of a cunt in future

Given Personation and Plagiarism are both universal British University actions of Gross Academic Misconduct, any suggestion that someone wanted to copy their essay and that thats endorsed by their teacher seems highly unlikely.
Is OP fucking over someone with learning difficulties and/or who was forced to miss a large part of the relevant course due to Covid and was unlucky enough to get the OP as a research partner?

[Cauliflower Of Love]

maybe op is the TA.

I’m sure he didn’t help because he had to run to ERA to bemoan the lack of community and good people in the world.

I got to agree with you on this. Their change is not only vague, its almost completely unnoticeable unless you actively look for it. Even for toothless, pointless gestures, its a failure.

"Again wrong. Biden is a person who believes in the development and protection of a Jewish nation. Stop trying to give the man a pass on this. He's not playing politics. He's not incompetent. He's not doing this because advisors told him to. This is his true belief.

Jesus the amount of cognitive dissonance from people trying to justify how they voted for a genocidal psychopath is astonishing"

From happy that Trump is no longer the president too are current president is a genocidal monster

There's just no way Biden can make these cunts happy

[Don Rumata]

How come you can criticize Israel without it being anti-semitic, basically one rant away from going off about the "Jew elite", but if you call (cheap)Chinese manufacturing shoddy or criticize the Chinese government, you eat a ban for Sinophobia?

Of course the article jumps to conclusions but there are some similarities

Edit: actually the article is worse than I remembered. You're not making a point by comparing a military checkpoint from the game to a real life checkpoint

Some key people at Ziff Davis and J2 Global are Jewish, good chance they won't be pro Palestine.

I think era is about to make a list. You know, just to keep track of who is who

Nah, i was taking the piss.
But Druckmann did mention that violence against some Israeli soldiers and his feeling of wanting revenge were an inspiration for the game's plot.
And there's that awkward Synagogue segment that felt somewhat shoehorned in, tbh.

Some suggested the Scars were representing the Palestinians, and the WLF was the IDF.
Seems a bit of a reach, but i wouldn't put anything past his goofy ass.

IGN removes a politically charged post: "they're both sidesing, claiming each side is as bad as the other! shameful!"

biden doesn't call for a mideast ceasefire: "both american political parties are awful!"

don't think it's corporate masters, it's him realizing he writes for the game industry and is currently burning bridges with every ign employee by calling them cowards who refuse to quit their jobs

and by proxy perhaps anyone else at other sites like gamespot etc. who will view his future applications in this light

when you play a sony system you feel like you're sitting down with a well tuned acoustic guitar, and you can feel your beard growing as you pluck the strings, it's got this rustic authenticity that can't be faked

when you play an xbox it's like you're pulling out a shitty electric guitar, a cheap one your dad bought you when you were 12, and it doesn't sound good at all but you can't tell the difference because all you want is "le epic metal"

when you play a nintendo you're basically plinking away on a fisher price rainbow xylophone with one of the bars missing

[Nintex]

Well he's right. Everything Microsoft does is just a clone of what someone else did. And usually it's worse and sometimes a bit better.
There are very few things related to Xbox that are original and most of those things were picked up from another company somewhere halfway through development like HALO, Minecraft and Gears of War.

Resetera was right, (((they're))) playing both sides of the system.

Someone should demand a statement as to whether or not ResetERA.com is hosted on Amazon's Web Services, a company with a large Israeli footprint that once refused to deliver for free to Palestine.

Yeah Sony never rushed to copy Nintendo, with a shittier product, for example.

Ryan McCaffrey being the executive editor of previews should've said something by now, but I guess his silence speaks volumes.

listen, some things are just unavoidable, it's a shitty world we live in

but we have to pay a premium to watch the new mulan a few weeks early BECAUSE the entertainment eases the pain of the knowledge that disney works alongside the genocidal chinese government

[benjipwns]

Not even half a year and Biden is already going full on war criminal. Will probably win a Nobel peace prize for it as well.

[HaughtyFrank]

Waypoint handled this pretty clever. Instead of making their own support Palestine article they just report about how IGN's got shut down

https://ignemployees.medium.com/an-open-letter-to-leadership-at-ign-ziff-davis-and-j2-global-f7171d5ad42f

in keeping with IGN’s ongoing efforts to highlight causes that are important to our team — such as our support for Black Lives Matter last year and our more recent celebration of AAPI Heritage Month and joining the call to end AAPI hate. The victims here deserve the same support.

We ask that the management body responsible for the decision accept that responsibility publicly.

We ask that management recognize IGN’s editorial authority and autonomy with regards to what it publishes, regardless of whether that work is news, reviews, features, guides, video content, or promotion of initiatives our staff feels are important, such as issue awareness or charitable support.

we are adamant that corporate leadership does not get the final word in editorial decisions.

If the corpo's agree to this then they are COWARDS and IGN will have 90% slacktivism content and 10% gaming blog.

[benjipwns]

This is very good.

However, I'm a bit perplexed at Ryan McCaffrey's name being on this considering only a few minutes before this statement was released, he finished recording a podcast with far right/racist commentator Colin Moriarty -- a person who just yesterday was criticising IGN employees for posting this article.

It's a minor thing, but I am very surprised to see Ryan McCaffrey's name on that list at the bottom. He's been silent on twitter about any of it as far as I can tell, and is buddy-buddy with Colin Moriarty as recently as this week, a guy who criticized IGN (and others) for putting up the post in the first place.

Yeah. Exactly.

Completely silent while also going on a far right podcast with a man who was shaming IGN's employees for doing this in the first place.

[team filler]

ryan mccaffrey sends his regards 

[Propagandhim]

Wondering if it's worth having IGN as a source here now that we discovered Ryan is an alt-right gamergator.  They also gave Cyberpunk a 9/10 and never mentioned the problematic issues with the game.   Which makes sense now.
