WTF?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/ubisoft-thread-archive.248692/

Normal gaming forums in normal years around a normal E3 sometimes do a round up post of all the conference information for those who missed the presser and / or want more info and discussion.

:idont

obviously this kind of thing has little use on era without a READ THREADMARK about sexual harrassment allegations and a bunch of "no ethical consumption under capitalism" posts

A lot of TV show creators (Tina Fey, etc) have been trying to get streaming services to remove old episodes of their shows with racially insensitive humor in them.

Like it's obviously well-meaning, but a lot of it feels like them trying to preemptively avoid getting cancelled for old jokes.

But cancel culture doesn't exist?

If you had unlimited power to shape the earth how you see fit, what would it look like?

I had a discussion with my wife yesterday about our ideal visions for the planet and I'm pleased that we both came up with the same ideas! This just a pipe dream and I don't expect to see this, but this is our perfect fantasy. It's also a idea I raised before on these boards, but not in so much detail.

One world government. No more nations means no more nationalism.

Free housing. The government will provide you with housing, UBI benefit and will assign you a job based on your skills, so you'll never need to search for a job again.

No more capitalism or money and no more materialistic objects. Everything will be government issued, including clothing and phones. Everyone will wear the same clothing, have the same shoes, the same phone, the same hair styles etc.

If you do well at your job and also do well within society, you'll be rewarded with points. These points can be exchanged for luxury items like a holiday or new television.

Right wing policies and politics are banned. Everything is left or far-left only.

No more armed forces. If we're all under a one world government, there is no war or conflict. That means no guns, tanks, warships etc. All of that is scrapped. All the money that we used to spend killing each other is now put towards science, medical research etc. Basically anything that benefits mankind.

No more prison system and no police. Each micro region will decide on either punishment or redemption how it sees fit.

There are still lots that myself and my wife need to iron out, but I was happy that we both shared the same idea of a paradise vision of Earth, although we know full well this would never happen in our life times.

So if you had these reality bending powers, what would your ideal vision of Earth look like?
:aah

Were any of them bi-girls who were turned on by the thought of you fucking a girl they think is cute?

Having trouble unpacking this question... yes they were all bi, and yes they were only interested in me fucking attractive girls lol

Yeah so it wasn't about sharing your dick, it was just so they could get dick and pussy (and in return you get twice as much pussy).

Love is giving without expecting anything in return. If she let you fuck girls she thought were ugly, then it would be about "sharing".

(Image removed from quote.)

But.. I only want to fuck attractive girls myself.. so not really sure that's even at the core of this.   However, yes, it's about being a turn on for both of us.. part of the turn on for them is the idea of sharing me.. I've literally had conversations about this, so unless you think they were lying, not sure what your point is.   I think I've had sex with 5 women since I met my wife, and we only had 3somes with 1 of them for instance.

Yeah, but she finds it sexy, so in a way she gets something out of it. Symbiosis isn't parasitic, but it's not selfless either.

Don't get me wrong I hate monogamy, but it's not like polygamy is so great either.

I haven't read the thread but since you guys love typing so much, can somebody explain? I've never understood the whole "We're humans bro we didn't evolve to have a single partner our whole lives" thing, doesn't the fact that we have roughly 20 years of sexual maturity and it takes about 20 years for the body to reach it's physical peak run counter to that idea? Do y'all honestly think people experience jealousy over being cucked because they've been socialized to think that way? I just think open relationships or polygamy are fundamentally broken because sexual equality doesn't exist and someone in the relationship is inevitably going to catch feelings.

Isn't there some animals that mate for life ? We don't have that bit of hard coding or we broke it. I'm not sure it's the right perspective of approaching this through the reproduction imperative. Relationships or marriage has long evolved to not be all about the breeding itself (though an important part of it).

I don't know if it's natural or not (does it matter) but it's a fact of life that emotional and physical attraction can decrease or vanish, for a lot of people.

I also don't think it's inherently broken, sexual equality is a bit of a vague notion, not everyone seek the same sort of thing there. My impression though is that a healthy open relationship is more work and need everyone to be on the level in terms of communication and trust. Monogamy has simpler terms (to understand, not necessary to abide to) and it's a lot of work still. It's also easier to grok at in a material and patrimonial sense to build a commited long term relationship. I think the exclusivity and the promise of getting someone full, undivided attention, is also a pleasing one to a lot of people.

That poly thread got locked.  :mods
Quote
Putting yourself and others at risk during a pandemic is worthy of judgement. "How dare you shame people for having sex with strangers during a pandemic!!" Spare me the fucking outrage. It's irresponsible, selfish behavior, and should be called out as such.
we had sex with one new friend once, after careful selection and months of shutdown, grocery delivery to our front door, no leaving the apartment, earlier than anybody else here besides maybe CA. Literally since March. I think people need to settle down with their reactionary risk analyses. Spare me. There’s a humongous risk difference between my husband refusing to teach in person during an entire school year with a 36 student caseload for special ed, and us choosing to risk 1 night of sex with a new friend that might join us in a triad. Not everything is so black and white.

Also it seems Era really is not a safe place for mental health or poly discussion after viewing this thread. I appreciate the supportive posters who have awarded us the right to our own decision-making but the therapy shaming here, the insinuations that our marriage is worse or broken or sick than monogamous relationships or teasing us are just mean-spirited and a huge hypocrisy in the face of the kindness Era shows to suicidal people when they make a Suicide thread here, not realizing that I myself am a recovering suicidal person that just got harassed for having psychotherapy.

No, but I think I have her office address and her name from when he sent me a Steam Controller.

I would never divulge any of that info. I may not agree with riotous often, but he is a bro for doing that.

Quote from: Tigress
It just always comes off as very sexist to me. Hell, even when people acknowledge that males can be that way it's always an afterthought.

But the whole image of a Karen encapsulates a lot of misogny about women being naggy/shrill/bitchy. It assumes that the customer is a woman or acts like a woman cause the image is of a woman. And women are naggy/bitchy/shrill. The reason they use a woman's name for the trope is because when a women acts this bitchy it gets taht image. Men are seen as power powerful and less looked down for acting like this. Note there is no name for a male who acts like this or people just call them Karens too. But they don't have a name for it as if this is really only a thing women do.

Way back when Livejournal was popular I was in a forum called customer's suck who I swear were SJW way before it caught on more and got "popular" (or rather more people started waking up). And I mean that in a good way. They are who taught me that describing some one when their race/gender/whatever doesn't really matter to the story usually shows that you already have a bias about that race/gender/whatever (keep in mind the group was there to bitch about asshole customers). They had expicit rules against describing the customer as anything but a customer unless the race/gender was important to the story and not in a sexist/racist way. At first I thought it was ridiculous but as time went on I could see the sense in it as they kept having to argue to people why this was a rule. Anyways... they had a term for what people use as karens today, entitlement bastard or bitch depending on the gender of the customer. I suppose you could even say entitlement assholes for multiples or to keep gender out of it entirely.

4) PC Gaming is not great for certain living situations

This is true for me both monetarily and situationally. Monetarily because I had bought my PC with some short-term cash (cash that I really should have just saved), and my income is, well, the income of a part-time retail worker. I don't have the kind of consistent income that would allow me to upgrade, maintain, and look after a PC.

2) The constant desire to have 'more'

PC is inherently a very scalable platform. That brings with it many benefits, being that people can often 'get into' PC gaming quite easily, especially if they aren't going for more high-end titles. However, it also comes with the caveat that you are almost always wanting 'more' than the console experience. The default is 60fps, but then now we have tech such as 120/144hz displays and ray-tracing which only increase the power demands required to get the 'best possible experience.

Meanwhile on consoles if you have a PS4 Pro and Xbox One X then you will get the best experiences on consoles right now. Later this year you can buy a PS5 and Series X to get the best experience for at least a few more years. It might be 30fps, it might not be native 4K, but you're going to get an experience that is at the very least optimised to what your platform can handle. You don't always have that concern that you're 'missing out'; unless, of course, you want to move over to PC.

3) The console experience is... fine

I figured this out whilst playing some AC: Odyssey on my late-game Xbox One X save. Yes, the game is 30fps and not exactly at 4K but compared to how it was on PC I didn't particularly find my experience to be all that, well, worse in the end. That's in some way because framerate locks are going to be more consistent and better framepaced than any fps lock you can put on PC, and as someone who's very much sensitive to it I often feel like 30 or 60fps on console feels much nicer than the same thing on PC.

Then I realised that, when it comes to gaming, I don't really 'care' all that much when I'm actually sitting down to play things for prolonged periods of time.

It's going to be funny when they realize how misogynistic "karen," is and re-invent a new narrative.  Such as the way "Yasssssss Queen," was turned into a homophobic slur instead of something every Hillary supporter would say on NeoGaf.

I admire the ability they have to erase the past and adopt a new future with no discussion or introspection.  I wish I could do that.

Break the rules, we'll try again and teach you why the rules are in place for the good of humanity. Still don't want to follow the rules. That's cool, but you then must live on this giant tropical island that is like the old world.

My world has no capital punishment, no prison and no military.

OP is almost certainly not LGBT, artistic or creative, at all. I’d venture a guess that you’re a straight white male with little interest in any of your heritage?

It just always comes off as very sexist to me. Hell, even when people acknowledge that males can be that way it's always an afterthought.

But the whole image of a Karen encapsulates a lot of misogny about women being naggy/shrill/bitchy. It assumes that the customer is a woman or acts like a woman cause the image is of a woman. And women are naggy/bitchy/shrill. The reason they use a woman's name for the trope is because when a women acts this bitchy it gets taht image. Men are seen as power powerful and less looked down for acting like this. Note there is no name for a male who acts like this or people just call them Karens too. But they don't have a name for it as if this is really only a thing women do.

Way back when Livejournal was popular I was in a forum called customer's suck who I swear were SJW way before it caught on more and got "popular" (or rather more people started waking up). And I mean that in a good way. They are who taught me that describing some one when their race/gender/whatever doesn't really matter to the story usually shows that you already have a bias about that race/gender/whatever (keep in mind the group was there to bitch about asshole customers). They had expicit rules against describing the customer as anything but a customer unless the race/gender was important to the story and not in a sexist/racist way. At first I thought it was ridiculous but as time went on I could see the sense in it as they kept having to argue to people why this was a rule. Anyways... they had a term for what people use as karens today, entitlement bastard or bitch depending on the gender of the customer. I suppose you could even say entitlement assholes for multiples or to keep gender out of it entirely.

I take back anything negative I’ve ever said about subscriptions to era, they absolutely should be charging for this level of entertainment.

I'm surprised they're so mad at her for calling herself mutt while the same community has fought so hard for the right to call Kanye a coon

Everyone loves the Karen Term !
*5 minutes later*
We regret to inform you the Karen Term is a slur.

Anyone that has worked retail knows that shitty female customers get labeled with far "worse" words in the break room or at the bar after the shift.

The term "Karen" was a way for people to get around calling a specific type of shitty customers "cunts" on social media or around managers: slightly overweight surburban stay at home moms/housewives in their 30s and 40s with awful bob haircuts, too much makeup, shirts that are bedazzled or have "funny" slogans like "It's wine o'clock somewhere!" or "World's Greatest Mommy!" or "I wear the pants in the family!" who take any perceived slight personally and will openly berate retail workers and then their managers.

The term itself has become watered down to represent any white woman doing something "wrong".  But in no way it's a slur.

There isn't a similar term for men because in general most people don't have an issue calling a guy acting like an asshole an asshole, also guys tend to not make as big scenes in stores.

Slur is obviously hyperbolic but we collectively, us online people, quickly ran this into the ground and turned it into fine mist.

For some reason when I see an uber-KH fan, I imagine them as the same kind of person who defends Michael Jackson online. A peter pan syndrome venn-diagram.

The half life of lingo and memes has gotten pretty insane.
I also feel sometimes Internet confuses itself. Cancel culture and deplatforming are basically exile, ostracization, boycott, etc... Which are all general practices dating back to antiquity for some and are all acceptable political methods. I don't want to do an off label Carlin impression but I sometimes feel calling a spade a spade instead of piling up layers upon layers would clear some ambiguities.

I just watched Frozen II with my daughter, AMA.


I fell asleep about 40 minutes in, but I think I got the gist of it.
My verdict: Totally worth it for the quality nap. :aah

I used to love doing that in theatres. Take my kids to watch some schlock (like The Pirates! or an Ice Age sequel) and just nod off for an hour.  Expensive nap, but totally worth it.

Pretty much what I thought, but I didn't even get a nap in because my kid was bored halfway through and started asking to watch The Lion King for the 1000th time.
