Didn’t CD projekt was celebrating the sales less than a week ago. Isn’t the word that Jason is searching is “Underperforms”?

How the actual fuck can Jason Schreeeeeeeeeier claim Cyberpunk 2077 was the games indistrys biggest flop of 2020, when fucking Squeenixs Marvels Avengers exists, the game based on the hottest franchise on the planet, that lost 96% of its playerbase in 2 months and cost the publishers $63 million on crappy sales?

Shits embarassing for a professional.
Calling Jason Shiieeeeker a professional is insulting to strippers and prostitutes who exhibit more professionalism in their work on a daily basis than he's ever exhibited in his whole career.

Article here, but the only info is based on an earnings call and a survey

There isn’t much news to share atm, but I just want to post this so those like myself who are dying to get back in the parks but not willing to pay $100-$200 for a one day pass know that eventually things will go back to some kind of normal.

The bad news is there are rumors swirling around that passes will cost more, may have “half days” where a pass is only good for the afternoon or evening, and there may no longer be a monthly payment option.

Personally, I was going once or twice a week so I don’t much care if they raise the price a bit, but my pass was $1200 iirc and included free parking. For that price, I don’t want any “half days” BS or major blackouts (my pass was only blocked for two weeks in December, nothing else) and I need that free parking still to make it work.

In the meantime, I’m looking forward to going to my friendly neighborhood theme park, Universal Studios.  Which is wack af compared to Disneyland, but at least it has Jurassic Park and Transformers. And it’s a great place to drink. Isla Nu-bar is top tier word play.

:kobeyuck

This motherfucker drove from Studio City to Anaheim a few times a week to go to Disneyland? Glad he’s upping his “bar” game LOL

if fegs smelt like smoke, i'd be a 20 a day man. i love log fires, whiskeys, lapsang suchon, flame grill flavours etc.

fegs smell nothing like that, just grim and acidic, inject "mint" into that and you have a castastrophic fuck up of flavours should be illegal on principle.

The ponytail completely undermines the point that those that were being dismissive were making. "Protection."

Good job to all of you.
Yup. Case closed. Anyone suggesting that lady fighters wear their hair in certain ways for good reason can slink off shamefully now. Should probably ban 'em for a week or two anyway. Racist shits.

Link.

So female characters can’t have “utilitarian” styles if other, non-utilitarian styles are available? Noted.

Quote from: B-Dubs
The entire point of white women doing mma with braids like that is there's nothing to grab onto and yank. Guess what you can do with a ponytail? It literally defeats the entire purpose of it as a protective harstyle.

You want the pony tail high up on the head so its not around your neck area making it harder to escape when somebody is choaking you. Grabbing on to hair is a foul, so if the ref is paying attention, having it stick up off your head like that shouldn't be a problem.

And there's a whole lot more

This exchange is pretty great:
Quote from: Al Gore's Thermostat
I get that part, and that makes the skin inaccurate to the sport, which is a failure on Blizzard's part. Though probably it was an artistic decision involved here.

Or is this a case where if it were more accurate it'd be less offensive?

Also, it's braids not cornrows.

Quote from: Nepenthe
....

Mei has cornrows, which is a type of braid.

Quote from: Al Gore's Thermostat
My bad, I didn't even know what cornrows were.

One day they'll work up the courage to just put the ban reason as "having the wrong opinion."

Also this B-Dubs post hasn't caught any flack yet but it feels primed to.

Chinese character with a skin apparently based on a Chinese MMA fighter and he's specifying white women. A normal-ass poster doing that would get ban hammered for Asian erasure.

I mean... I don't want to go too far down the 'unwarranted aspersions' route, but from his follow up post:
I got the Jedi tunic and a custom lightsaber, and damn it feels cool just to walk around and soak it up. I always wear it with the rainbow Mickey ears to trigger the bigots lmao.

Nobody has to justify with some pseudo-sophisticated utilitarian philosophy why someone of one race can have the same hairstyle as a person of another race.  Especially of a kind that has gone back to the 5th century BC.  You have to ignore these people.  There's no other way to move forward than to ignore them.

*Adam Curtis voice*

"These were not the staunch communists of the 50's, the flower power movement of the 70's or even the third way liberals of the 90's. Instead an entire new far more dangerous breed of activist who claimed to be left emerged.
They had strange arbitrary rules and behaviours. They would often visit Walt Disney theme parks carrying concealed fire arms to protect themselves against imaginary foes. They would go on the internet to debate about the portrayal of females in video games and movies, demanding they be covered up and not what they called 'sexualized' for the purpose of the 'male gaze'. They claimed cancel culture did not exist while driving people to suicide over minior disagreements. Some of them were told they couldn't consume certain products and media because those did not match their values, yet the people who told them this received the same products at no cost and consumed it anyway. Perhaps the most dangerous of all their corruption and insanity was the constant need for racial conflict and divisiveness. People were divided into classes, genders and races. Once you were marked one way or the other there was nothing you could do to avoid being cancelled. It was also paramount you 'stay in your own lane' only commenting on issues that concerned your group and not what they called 'appropriating culture' through hair styles, clothing or the use of particular words and phrases. These rules could change at any minute leaving people with no means to learn or adapt to new regulations. The only entities seemingly not critized by this group and protected by their leadership at all times were the Chinese Communist Party and Walt Disney. Both of whom denied ever having interacted with the group or endorsing them."

Quote from: TraBuch
Quote from: Nepenthe
Yes really.

Anyone could easily just grab her existing ponytail in a real fight. As such, there's no need to actually braid her hair down: you can pull loose hair into a ponytail and receive the same practical result. Loose hair, if pulled back hard enough, will stay in a ponytail. I've had permed hair for the majority of my life, including during my short fighting stint. I know how this works.

But methinks no one thought of that because it was more of a mad dash to dismiss Black folks and the anonymous-yet-ever-convenient Twitter wokescolds than it was to actually have a meaningful discussion.

So again, good job.
You say that but every fighter I've seen wear hair pulled back into a ponytail eventually has their hair get loose.

"Examples"



[close]

Maybe training a little bit at your local gym doesn't make you an expert on proper hair technique in a ring? Or are these professionals just doing it wrong?
Nepenthe has posted repeatedly since, including this whole meltdown, but has not addressed this post at all. TraBuch is somehow not yet banned, despite taking a run directly at a mod.

A hair style is appropriation but the fact that MMA is built mostly off Asain martial arts isn't.

Whole topic and lame PC Gamer article would've been moved on like it deserves until admin/mods decided otherwise. Hell of an emotional investment every time I must say.

The line that "no cornrows before black representation" because the "amounts to cultural appropriation" argument fell flat is beyond stupid.

Unfortunately these issues are bleeding into reality, activism and government regulation. We know about the directors and CEO's getting "caught" but I bet there's a big number of unknown artists and salary men on the pay roll losing their jobs over shit like this and they might not even know why.

I think we all need to look at home and look at stuff happening now and perhaps understand nothing much has changed.

I see the furry community showing face on era often and on the surface yeah there’s just people who enjoy dressing up as favourite characters etc. Then you see the likes of that All Gas No Brakes video where clearly some members of this community are extremely vulnerable suffering huge mental health crises and putting themselves in danger.

You dare say the kink is a bit extreme and you get defenders blasting you for criticising their kink. I remember back in the 2000’s and the puritanical lot would call MM a Satan worshipper or whatever. They were crazy but ultimately not far off either. Back then people defended these kinks too. So I’m not gonna sit here and allow others to tel me their kink is acceptable when I know for a fact in ten years time there will be all sorts of “Me Too” stories around the furry community.

Ban me if you must.

It's a sign of the times and regretful both were mentioned in the OP's news article.

There is already a lot of Me Too stories about furries. The white washing on Era can only do too much.

Too bad she didn't post on Era, she could have had Nepenthe check her BAC before she drove.

Thread is full of members horrified by guy letting his kid play Bloodborne. He also throws casual shade at 'easy mode' beggars, making him scum of the Earth on planet Ree.

First of all, Bloodborne ain't shit. Kid'll be fine... Second, if FROM or other devs wanted an easy mode in their games, they'd include them. Obviously they don't.

Yes really.

Anyone could easily just grab her existing ponytail in a real fight. As such, there's no need to actually braid her hair down: you can pull loose hair into a ponytail and receive the same practical result. Loose hair, if pulled back hard enough, will stay in a ponytail. I've had permed hair for the majority of my life, including during my short fighting stint. I know how this works.

But methinks no one thought of that because it was more of a mad dash to dismiss Black folks and the anonymous-yet-ever-convenient Twitter wokescolds than it was to actually have a meaningful discussion.

So again, good job.
You say that but every fighter I've seen wear hair pulled back into a ponytail eventually has their hair get loose.

Maybe training a little bit at your local gym doesn't make you an expert on proper hair technique in a ring? Or are these professionals just doing it wrong?

ree mods should start being being straight up in their ban messages and say someone has been banned for having g the wrong opinion etc instead of using their weird brand of word salad imo :trumps

Mansplaining doesn't even work in that context since it's not a gender exclusive issue. Male or female, it's common for fighters with long hair to braid up. As such, it's very possible that poster didn't even know he was responding to a woman.

I think we all need to look at home and look at stuff happening now and perhaps understand nothing much has changed.

I see the furry community showing face on era often and on the surface yeah there’s just people who enjoy dressing up as favourite characters etc. Then you see the likes of that All Gas No Brakes video where clearly some members of this community are extremely vulnerable suffering huge mental health crises and putting themselves in danger.

You dare say the kink is a bit extreme and you get defenders blasting you for criticising their kink. I remember back in the 2000’s and the puritanical lot would call MM a Satan worshipper or whatever. They were crazy but ultimately not far off either. Back then people defended these kinks too. So I’m not gonna sit here and allow others to tel me their kink is acceptable when I know for a fact in ten years time there will be all sorts of “Me Too” stories around the furry community.

Ban me if you must.

TBH I just read it as they were going to ban him for mansplaining, then realized "Oh shit what if a woman comes in after the ban to back up this position?" so threw in condescending to provide ass-covering if any woman dare speak up.

Since, you know, nobody wants to deal directly with the point listed. Nepenthe too busy engaging in basically subtweet-style responses.

I don't get this reasoning though.
A broken clock is right twice a day, but the key factor in Manson's case wasn't his (lol) satanism.
It was his being a rich powerful celebrity that didn't need to give a shit about any repercussion.
In the last few years we got PLENTY of examples to corroborate this thesis, with music/cinema stars and politicians alike engaging in all sort of shit, without the need of a kinky persona to back up that behavior.

somebody tell them that before neogaf attempted to explain their moderation policy with an ethos, something that directly lead to the downfall of the site, mods just banned people for fun and banned often, but the ban messages were fun for the end user too.  they were more of a challenge -- something you had to just sit there and think of comebacks for when your alt finally got approved.

This fuckin place bans you and is like "IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE SEXIST" or "IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE RACIST"  :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Can't imagine that's good for the numbers considering how many false positive bans they seem to be doing lately. 

along with the whole "mods hating asians and only black issues are important, even our hairstyles are more important than human life" thing

I'd say someone could easily set up a heist like they did with Neogaf, but nobody wants this fuckin crowd  :lol
