Please tell me you're not a white person with comfortable finances who's concerned about your place in the world.
Was this really a necessary comment? You trying to derail?

People should vote Trump to spite them. /s

You want some actual anti Trump cringe?

And it won't stop people from peeing til all the grass is dead around on his grave in an otherwise a big beautiful graveyard, the biggest.

I mean, I will happily pee on his grave after he dies. They'd have to physically stop me, provided I actually go visit it in the first place.

Quote from: RustyNails
If they physically stop me I will rent a helicopter, make the pilot hover over his grave and I will pee on it from there.

Okay so related tangent here...

Our guest room is called "the Harry Potter room" by our sons. See we painted it dark blue, then we framed these old letters my wife had that her dad wrote to her mom when he was in the Navy, and then we got this black metal bed frame and this funky black metal candle holder thing, and all those together started to make us think of Hogwarts. So then we had added this weird silver antler thing, then we put the HP books on a shelf...and I added a framed drawing of Hermoine from an artist I love, and before we knew it the room had a low key HP magical vibe, complete with wands and a marauders map we picked up at Universal five years ago. We totally look like THOSE elder millennials. You know, the ones who look like they can't let the series go, despite each of us only reading it once like a decade ago.

It's just that it's a room we don't even really use. Except now we have someone coming to stay at our home to watch our dog while we're out and we're like crap...how do we quickly transform this to something else? We got this black metal bed frame and this cool magical looking candle holder, so something vaguely fantasy would be cool.

Having a hard cut from (let's be real here) the most important children's franchise of the past 20 years has to induce some sort of trauma. Sorry :/

What do they get out of virtue signaling like this on a video game forum?

I could completely understand if they were doing this to impress some dumb college girl who's really into performative wokeness.

But an internet forum full of manchildren?  :neogaf

That's the entire point of Era.  Like the parable of the young fish in the water who can't describe water, Era doesn't know what is parody or people openly mocking them.  From the outside it's easy'l; to point out the obvious trolls while those dipshits have to rely on post counts and shit.  Content matters nothing when you have braying jackasses as protected users.

This one is also pretty good in the Uncle Ben's thread :

Can't wait for the blood oaths on twitter swearing never to buy this PC rice ever again. How many hundreds of items/services are on that list again?

And a few posts below :

The irony here is that they come here to talk about video games because it's a more populated and active community. Then they go back GAF to shit on black people and somehow think they're winning the culture war... on a forum with like a couple dozen active posters.

Nah, both are polonium laced toxic waste.

Almost better to let Trump just win again... seriously.

Stop legitimizing all this electoral crap people.

Or maybe you can be an adult and make your own rice (literally one of the simplest things to cook) and not use shitty pre-packaged rice that's full of sodium and preservatives.

Sorry for bringing this up, but it feels like a topic that seems so unavoidable with the news of "cloud gaming" and next generation consoles.

With the new consoles coming up and major companies try to build up game streaming with huge 24/7 always-operational server centers built with gaming hardware, there has been almost no mention of how unsustainable this constant tech cycle actually is. The production of gaming hardware is incredibly energy-intensive with the mining and smelting and assembly of electronic components being more and more consuming. And already in 2020 we have horrible fires, hurricanes, floods, and dry and this is only the start.

Yet Sony and Microsoft or whoever still want to churn out hardware every 7-8 years that once again means 50-100+ million units of these devices comprised of rare earth minerals, tons of labor, and all of this stemming from massive consumption of energy in the production and usage of gaming hardware. And then we also have this push to game streaming that not only requires gaming hardware once again, but huge server centers, constant electricity usage, and high-speed internet. The carbon-dioxide emissions from just playing a few hours of any game is just ridiculous.

On top of all of this, you have people talking about revenues, growth and expanding the market and how important sales of new devices are. You even have people talking about gaming in 10 to 30 years as if the current way of doing things can continue. Like, have anyone looked outside their windows? And seen the environmental damage and mass extinction going on? And the social unrest? Business analysts and media reporters seem completely detached from reality and the world we live in. Do people in games media and business analysts just willingly stick their heads into the sand and ignore the problems we are facing? Or do they just not care? Is the mass delusion just about ensuring constant growth and profits and everyone is afraid to question this premise? The world is already on fire, yet gaming tries to continue as nothing has or will happen.
 
We can't keep having console generations and we can't keep consuming energy and labor the way we are doing, yet the games industry just keeps on doing the same thing over and over again, as if disastrous climate change, social unrest, and mass extinction isn't a thing. When will enough be enough? And why is the media reporting on the industry also being silent about it? We are looking at some incredibly troubling times ahead that might mean the unraveling of human civilization, yet everyone just pretends that video games can continue like it's the 90's still.

There are some incredibly smart people working in many of these companies and media outlets, surely they must be aware and thinking of how gaming could be different and adapt to a different future?

It might not be unfair to say that Lang Lang is kind of a Ron Howard among concert pianists. In the respect that he often falls back on emotional devices to cover for deficiencies in his work.

So yeah, maybe makes sense why Lang is cool with Howard directing his biopic.

Haha, this is fucking gold.

I don't know why I'm surprised that Era uses instant rice as much as they do dino tendies.  This from the site that criticizes "white people," food and gets mad when a white person opens an asian restaurant.

fuck JKR for screwing and robbing me of my childhood's dream game but fuck her way more for her absolute evil vision of right and wrong.

Yet another article asserting that JKR is definitely a thing, but starts with how they just can't be bothered to actually unpack why they think that beyond just a link to the essay most people didn't read, the "twitter takedown" on that essay that the author himself opens with surprise that nobody else cited a damn thing from the essay before grabbing pitchforks, and is in itself questionable in points like "If she's not a transphobe, why doesn't she just apologise to the people harrassing her?" and "Okay, yeah she's being harrassed, but people who are not her on 'my team' are also harrassed, so that's okay?", and what by now seems to have been thoroughly debunked as to the subject matter of her latest book.

Like... at some point if you want to actually make some sort of credible attack on JKR and persuade people not already deep in culture war why your claims have merit, "I'm so tired" and "It Is Known" are not going to cut it.

Era wouldn't be era without its extremely high sodium levels

Warner Bros. needs to pony up and buy the franchise. I'm sure it'd be billions, and yes it'd go to J.K. Rowling, but they could steal it and erase her legacy from it, and then we could all just block/ignore her on everything.

Warner.
Surely once it will be owned by a company made of thousands of individuals, some being a bunch of powerful egocentric cutthroat assholes, nothing problematic will ever be again attached to that IP.

I kind of feel that if the broader public cared about this, many would agree with Rowling.  :doge she sounds reasonable at first superficial glance.

wait what’s up with these stats? and i go to the comment section and no ones talking about the issues with JKR...?

Like does the general public just not know about it? I spend a lot of time doing my own thing so outside of ERA i MIGHT not have known about it, but i expected to see a bigger presence going against the game

 :riot

They are going to be shook when they see the first sales numbers for Hogwarts.

Also, how do you erase Rowlings legacy from Harry Potter? Even if her name isn't in the credits, it's not like the millions who will play this will suddenly forget she created it all. Or are Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones going door to door and erasing people's memories?  :lol

You have to be very young, very privileged, or both to feel like gaming, or any form of entertainment should exist in a non-political bubble. Politics affect your entire life and you shouldn't ignore them just because you live in a situation where you "can".

Weird... I thought games were fiction. ;)
I smell a ban incoming for me. 😂
Since I stumbled like a simpleton into this thread, let me just last say, every single one of these clowns trying to run the US are a joke.. The whole lot of them.
For folks to get so angry and forcefully hateful joining one side or the other, please know I mean no dissrespect, just don't believe anything that any of them preach. Trump, Biden, whoever... all of them. Let me play my games with their fictional stories. They're an escape from reality. Period.

Kindly kick rocks with this tired, ignorant bullshit. Politics don’t stop because you want to cover your eyes and pretend not to see and hear what’s going on. If this was your take given the topic, grow the fuck up.

...

There’s nothing worst than a nimrod who thinks they’ve figured it out because they simply everyone is bad all around as if it’s that easy. There’s so much depth and nuance to life and jokers like you come in preaching this dumb shit as if you’re on to something. Then you’re using the “fiction” statement as some sort of gotcha as if historically there’s not a wealth of fiction rooted or based on real world politics. Smarten up, wiseguy.
Quote from: Protome
You think there's no politics in fiction? What even
If you played Death Stranding for even a few minutes and thought "Ah, good thing there's no politics in this" then that's wild to me. Like how can you just completely miss all of themes and story of a game like that lol
Quote from: Servbot24
One of the absolute worst posts on this forum.
Quote from: Peter
Ah yes, the work of fiction which just happened to have a major theme of reuniting a divided America after a cataclysmic event. I’m sure that’s just all a coincidence. Not a political commentary at all.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
in case you didn’t figure it out because it all went over your head as nothing more than a work of fiction, Trump is the death stranding

Quote from: boxingiscool
I don’t understand how this is an actual take that people have. Probably going to get banned for saying this but how is this surprising and upsetting to you? They have a TON of friends in the disabled and LGBTQ communities. They hired a black man and a Hispanic man. Those two hires, for better or worse, any time they talk about games, it’s political. Because they exist and they’re not white.

Y’all should keep politics out of the way people live and who people are but you can’t. I’m so unbelievably tired of that. The hypocrisy is so unbelievable to me. “I care about my guns, let me live the way I want!” Then they hear “ I’m a woman that wants control of my body” and they’re like “lol nah”. Or they hear “I’m a black man who doesn’t want to be shot by the police” and they’re like “lol nah yall asking for too much; blue lives matter”.

anyways, my point is simple. Some people don’t have a choice. They exist and their existing is political in and of itself

They remove all the scenes where Harry was ranting at trans people to use the right bathrooms.
