There's nothing wrong with the female body, I like it. I don't even know why. Something to do with evolution.

An adult has a temper tantrum because he can't figure out how to place blocks in a children's game


Quote
Ok so I boot the game for the first time, create character, go through the stupid tutorial and the boring intros that is more about talking to monsters than crafting.
Then it comes to the last part, where you plug the crates to stop the water - seriously that was abysmal, it was pure luck that I found about first person view to aim at the holes but even then the box wouldn't be at the correct spot most of the time.
So up to that point I'm thinking if this a famous and popular broken game or am I doing something wrong...
Anyway I finally manage to plug the holes, ship is about to go down, NPC tells me "it was nice knowing you"
Then nothing, just a black screen...
I just wait there for several seconds.
The the first achievement unlocks, "shipwreck survivor"
Finally!!
Well no...
We are back in title screen and it asks me to start new game.
-_-
I swear if I had paid for this I'd be asking for a refund now. I'm not going through that again...
So fucking pissed. Anyone else had an experience like this in this particular game?
Is the item placing so broken, cause really that's the biggest reason I don't wanna go back and start over again.

Eh, it's pretty impressive to play a game that's 50% tutorial and still fail to learn the basics.

Is there a reason why Resetera is so universally bad at video games despite being a video game community? All they do is whine about games being too long or hard, and how they don't have time to clear the latest games in 3 days. Do they just think "git gud" is some toxic male gamer lingo so they just go in the complete opposite direction and say that games without easy modes are ableist?

The opening 10 minutes of the game is spent teaching you how to pick up and place objects. It's literally press square to pick up object, press x to place in the spot with big yellow highlights.

This was my favourite part though -

"Finally!!
Well no...
We are back in title screen and it asks me to start new game."
I swear if I had paid for this I'd be asking for a refund now. I'm not going through that again."

It was the start of the game. It just goes to title screen and asks you to choose save file before continuing, but obviously it's the game that's broken and not the Ree who can't follow basic instructions

i think they genuinely consider games that make it difficult for people shite at videogames to get the most out of them to be a form of eugenics.

The target for DOGE is $1 and the plan is for Elon to promote it on SNL this saturday to get the normies to buy in.

I expected some to take their profit at $0.5 but the 'hold diamond hands' energy is still strong.  :doge

I wouldn't go and dump your life savings into it but if you can miss 500 - 1000 it's a risk worth taking to buy the dip and ride it to $1
CUMROCKET also seems interesting but I'm having a hard time finding a market place that sells it.

Sounds like a glitch yes but even that is something a long time gamer should pick up on.
Maybe it's just FBI/Russian agents trying to blend in with the "gamers"?

I find it funnier that the staff is ripping off reddit, but worse in every way.

Instead of requiring questions to be submitted far in advance, members will be able to directly submit posts for consideration while the AMA is ongoing. Staff will screen posts before they appear, with an eye on keeping the thread legible (duplicate questions or anything extremely inappropriate will likely not be approved).

Like why we would anyone jump through a bunch of hoops to ask him a question instead of going straight to Reddit?

.  why are some of you so surprised? With the advent of youtube channels where you get ton of content daily for free, GB was never going to survive with a subscription service.

They should of restructured a long time ago.

It has little to do with YT (it already was in full force when the P4 endurance run happened) and more with them just don’t giving a fuck anymore at some point, the horrible new hires and the pandemic killing their Studio infrastructure.

They never adapted to new trends, for sure, but the enthusiasm wasn’t there anymore (honestly, WTF does Brad even does in the site anymore).

I do not think that they are  smart or savvy enough given their post GB live. Of course, core GB was not smart or savvy enough to adapt after the pandemic crippled them.

So the last thread about this got closed because it focused on Ted Cruz's response, but mods did give the green light for a general thread about the ad, and I didn't see one yet so lets do it.

This seems like a thread ResetERA is totally capable of handling:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/im-black-but-im-not-sure-if-im-pro-black-anymore.420626/
Quote from: Space Lion
This sounds like a bizarre statement but it's how I feel. Hopefully this is a safe space to express that feeling.

When I say I'm not sure if I'm pro-black anymore I mean it in the sense I don't care about black issues. I care. I deeply care. But caring about those issues and being pro-black feel so separate. Being pro-black feels like in itself a specific identity. I want to reject that identity.

A lot of black Americans today act like our shit doesn't stink. On social media you constantly see white people being referenced as "yt" people. Social media combined with the lack of justice in America's court rooms and streets is radicalizing black Americans to an extreme. Being black now, beyond the defenses of our own humanity, is so tiring. It's black this, black that. Constant checks on how black you really are. Always puffing up your chest, talking about how "our people" do it the best. Dr. Umar Johnson shows up on The Breakfast Club and it sparks another fucking argument about interracial dating. You've got black people talking about black people messing up the "gene pool" sounding like some bucktoothed klansmen. I think many black Americans today are truly morphing in to what we hate: supremacists. More specifically, the idea that black people are better than other races.

Over the past few months I've witnessed countless amounts of apathy towards the struggles Asian Americans are going through from black folks. Sometimes it goes beyond apathy and into full of hate towards Asians. You've got people that consume Asian cinema, animation, games, and food like it's water and they don't have anything to say to speak out for people that are down because of targeted racism, something you should be able to relate to, and

I'm not sure what this mindset has actually done to improve the lives of black people.

I'm an artist and hang out in a lot of artist circles. You've got so many artists now talking about human experiences and all the black artists are just talking about blackness. Black black black black. It is uniformly boring at this point. As a black artist you feel pressure to have to constantly talk about being black. In fact, it's the expectation. Meanwhile, other races get to make art besides their race. Look how limiting being a black artist is. You've got Ta-Nehisi Coates, a great writer, talking about making Superman black. Spike Lee? All that dude does is talk about blackness. Where's Pretty in Pink featuring black folks where people can feel normal? Every single goddamn black movie or show that comes out now is some fucking misery porn that hinges itself on the throes of black pain. How original. How unique. How utterly banal and will be forgotten in five years time. Lovecraft Country, that Janelle Monae movie, Them;etc.  Where's the black positive tv shows or movies?

I'll always care about the struggle but I'm so sick and tired of anything and everything being defined by blackness. I feel so bad about feeling like this too. I don't know how to handle these feelings.

First reply is a solid start:

It sounds like you are in some kind of weird social media bubble where you think every black person feels the exact same way about every issue. Not sure what to say other than that.

I feel this is some sort of self inflicted wound made by Black people that live in the Anglosphere. Then again maybe is the byproduct of these old imperialist nations views about race that don’t seem to have rot away.

I feel this is some sort of self inflicted wound made by Black people that live in the Anglosphere. Then again maybe is the byproduct of these old imperialist nations views about race that don’t seem to have rot away.
Watch Adam Curtis' Can't Get You Out Of My Head

He does a deep dive on this concept with interesting results.

The OP is describing Nepenthe to a T. But it's probably one of those other social media bubbles that has warped OP's mind, can't be ResetERA.

Also, being fair with one of the examples, isn’t Spike Lee best and more successful stuff has always been heavily related to the black struggle? Blackkklansman revived his career after failures like the Oldboy remake and that story mode in NBA2k.

Quote from: Introvert, post: 64276595, member: 31024
I worked the graveyard shift for two years; 12AM to 10AM or 12PM. It made me completely miserable after a while. Nothing I did to cope worked. Now I work 2PM to sometimes 2AM. It's a bit better but still has that same shittiness.

I have nothing to add except watch out for it changing your personality.  I eventually became evil, slowly sabotaged my supervisor's career because he pissed me off one day over something that was his fault, got him chewed out by his boss in front of everyone in the building (he looked like he had a frog trapped in his throat while he was taking the verbal beatdown, so everyone called him "bullfrog" behind his back afterwards), and made him lose the respect of his coworkers. He became so ashamed afterwards, he transferred to Tennessee, but not before management screwed him over one more time by delaying his transfer without telling him at the absolute last moment (he already gave up his apartment by this time and got a new one where he was going).

it's also really easy to get banned at neogaf

however unlike era there are clearly defined rules, just never say anything that contradicts, insults or mocks anything in lore's orbit and you will never be banned



edit- that post was from september before the storming of the capital, no wonder  :lol

This seems like a thread ResetERA is totally capable of handling:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/im-black-but-im-not-sure-if-im-pro-black-anymore.420626/
Quote from: Space Lion
This sounds like a bizarre statement but it's how I feel. Hopefully this is a safe space to express that feeling.

When I say I'm not sure if I'm pro-black anymore I mean it in the sense I don't care about black issues. I care. I deeply care. But caring about those issues and being pro-black feel so separate. Being pro-black feels like in itself a specific identity. I want to reject that identity.

A lot of black Americans today act like our shit doesn't stink. On social media you constantly see white people being referenced as "yt" people. Social media combined with the lack of justice in America's court rooms and streets is radicalizing black Americans to an extreme. Being black now, beyond the defenses of our own humanity, is so tiring. It's black this, black that. Constant checks on how black you really are. Always puffing up your chest, talking about how "our people" do it the best. Dr. Umar Johnson shows up on The Breakfast Club and it sparks another fucking argument about interracial dating. You've got black people talking about black people messing up the "gene pool" sounding like some bucktoothed klansmen. I think many black Americans today are truly morphing in to what we hate: supremacists. More specifically, the idea that black people are better than other races.

Over the past few months I've witnessed countless amounts of apathy towards the struggles Asian Americans are going through from black folks. Sometimes it goes beyond apathy and into full of hate towards Asians. You've got people that consume Asian cinema, animation, games, and food like it's water and they don't have anything to say to speak out for people that are down because of targeted racism, something you should be able to relate to, and

I'm not sure what this mindset has actually done to improve the lives of black people.

I'm an artist and hang out in a lot of artist circles. You've got so many artists now talking about human experiences and all the black artists are just talking about blackness. Black black black black. It is uniformly boring at this point. As a black artist you feel pressure to have to constantly talk about being black. In fact, it's the expectation. Meanwhile, other races get to make art besides their race. Look how limiting being a black artist is. You've got Ta-Nehisi Coates, a great writer, talking about making Superman black. Spike Lee? All that dude does is talk about blackness. Where's Pretty in Pink featuring black folks where people can feel normal? Every single goddamn black movie or show that comes out now is some fucking misery porn that hinges itself on the throes of black pain. How original. How unique. How utterly banal and will be forgotten in five years time. Lovecraft Country, that Janelle Monae movie, Them;etc.  Where's the black positive tv shows or movies?

I'll always care about the struggle but I'm so sick and tired of anything and everything being defined by blackness. I feel so bad about feeling like this too. I don't know how to handle these feelings.

First reply is a solid start:

It sounds like you are in some kind of weird social media bubble where you think every black person feels the exact same way about every issue
. Not sure what to say other than that.
It's called Resetera buddy, where people are reduced to the sum of their skin colour and sexuality/gender.

More specifically, he was generally at his best throughout the 90s when he stuck to grounded NYC centered films. Not only the struggle, but just capturing various aspects of black life and neighborhoods around the city would become his signature.

Malcolm X is his very best though.

oh

What a fucking cunt and yet another example of her piss-poor idea of "moderation".

Yes, let's shut down actual discussion about what it means to be "black" and how it actually affects people of color so we can go back to ranting about a Chinese character in a FUCKING VIDEO GAME who has cornrows.

Piss off, you fucking midget furry racist.

Eh, to be fair to Nepenthe, she's right. Era is not the place for 'real' discussions, it's a place to pit idealised minorities against cartoon-villain white people.

Let 'real' opinions and experiences pollute that conversation and their entire understanding of the world will collapse.
