I get it, I think the "NFT" stuff is too but every big publisher is basically cooking those GaaS, NFT or turning Crazy Taxi into Fortnite plans.

If they didn't wanna get banned, they should maybe check how high their ban protection goes before 'gotta hand it to Al-Qaeda'ing


It should also seem kinda fucking obvious but you can - in fact - be a muslim and not support ISIS, be a christian and not support the westboroh baptist church, be a socialist and not tacitly support brutal authoritarianism by downplaying and whataboutism whenever its mentioned, or be any kind of fucking thing you want and still distance yourself from extremists who hold similar views to yourself.

Hey everyone.

I hope you enjoy NeoGAF as much as I do. Our community has made it through a lot over the years. We had a rough patch a while back, but were able to rebuild, and it’s a fun and lively place again, focusing on the games, with a common sense guiding principle.

I’ve been here for over 22 years and counting, and I’d like to continue running NeoGAF for many more years to come. But there’s an ongoing problem: the powers that be changed their algorithm some time ago and we lost upwards of 90% of our ad revenue for an identical amount of traffic. It’s always been tough to monetize forums, but right now is about as tough as it’s ever been for GAF since we have a huge post history that requires a lot of server power to keep it all integrated, as well as a lot of traffic that takes up resources every month without much coming back in.

As a result of the ad revenue issues it’s become a challenge to maintain the site, I’ve had to slow down active development and pursue other avenues professionally as well. It’s also not viable to compensate our dev team properly without revenue coming in, so I’ve paused many of our internal operations. You’ve probably noticed that the momentum we had with all the new features and improvements has slowed, and some existing features have stopped working outright. Now you know why.

This whole development purgatory is really not my preference. I’d rather focus my attention primarily on GAF and continue building it back up, keep it a great place to hang out and talk about the latest gaming and industry news, and get back to actively developing it.

It’s a predicament. Are you guys and gals open to supporting NeoGAF a bit more actively? We have a lot of users, but most people adblock and only a tiny fraction of members get Gold subs. We could put up some affiliate links that would support the site without an out of pocket cost, if they would be utilized by our members. And I’m open to discussing any other options as well.

NeoGAF has always been independent, and over the past two decades I’ve shrugged off the many attempts by publishers and big corporations to control the site via their acquisition offers and other deals. But with that stubborn neutrality and independence comes a different set of challenges, like the one we’re currently facing. To keep moving forward we’ll need to construct some additional pylons.

If you enjoy using NeoGAF, let me know of any ways you’d be down to support the site’s continued existence. I'd love to get back into full swing, revise the site design for 2022, fix our features and add new ones, and continue building. Thanks.

It’s always impressive to me how bad the mods are over there. Chikor is a raging dickhead who constantly talked down to others and stirred shit up while acting high and mighty. They are no great loss. But somehow, the mods managed to make them sympathetic by picking a relatively mild take as the one to perm them on, just because B-Dumbs got his jimmies rustled.

Why even let Chikor come back? They admitted he was permabanned before because perceived anti Semitism.

Seems to me like they were just covering up for investors who were wondering why they sold it at such a low price.

Also messing around with NFT's as its own thing is probably cheaper than messing up expensive AAAA+ Tomb Raider and Deus Ex projects with NFT DLC's.
I think Square Enix overall made the right move. If they remake Terranigma in 2D HD, release a line of Kingdom Hearts NFT's with Disney and Embracer develops a new Deus Ex everyone is a happy camper.

So here I am just watching the Celtics bucks game, great game. Commercial’s come on and a Dr. Strange spot appears. Thinking it’s the one I’ve seen a million times I watch it. Nope it’s a new one and spoils two pretty damn big reveals…
That would have been so fucking hype to see in theaters but no they fucking spoil it… Sorry for so much profanity but I’m genuinely pretty pissed off they would show that in a TV spot. Marvel has always been pretty good at that stuff so why spoil a huge reveal… so irritating. I never watch trailers after the first one but now I guess I can never watch commercials when a hype movie is coming out…

Oh I'm sure, I just mean it's part and parcel of the business for every publisher to chase these trends. It's often half baked token efforts. I think it's a little hyperbolic to say Square is betting his whole business on it or that they're doomed because they're paying lip service to current buzzwords. Apparently they're been raking profits for several years now and are doing good all things notwithstanding.

Sometimes this site gets the side eye hard. I hope the issues get addressed but it really pains me when another group seems to be getting pushed away. This place was supposed to be different.

[Tuckers Law]

[benjipwns]

In the book, Lifton outlines the "Eight Criteria for Thought Reform":

Milieu Control. This involves the control of information and communication both within the environment and, ultimately, within the individual, resulting in a significant degree of isolation from society at large.
Mystical Manipulation. The manipulation of experiences that appears spontaneous but is, in fact, planned and orchestrated by the group or its leaders to demonstrate divine authority, spiritual advancement, or some exceptional talent or insight that sets the leader and/or group apart from humanity, and that allows a reinterpretation of historical events, scripture, and other experiences. Coincidences and happenstance oddities are interpreted as omens or prophecies.
Demand for Purity. The world is viewed as black and white and the members are constantly exhorted to conform to the ideology of the group and strive for perfection. The induction of guilt and/or shame is a powerful control device used here.
Confession. Sins, as defined by the group, are to be confessed either to a personal monitor or publicly to the group. There is no confidentiality; members' "sins," "attitudes," and "faults" are discussed and exploited by the leaders.
Sacred Science. The group's doctrine or ideology is considered to be the ultimate Truth, beyond all questioning or dispute. Truth is not to be found outside the group. The leader, as the spokesperson for God or all humanity, is likewise above criticism.
Loading the Language. The group interprets or uses words and phrases in new ways so that often the outside world does not understand. This jargon consists of thought-terminating clichés, which serve to alter members' thought processes to conform to the group's way of thinking.
Doctrine over person. Members' personal experiences are subordinated to the sacred science and any contrary experiences must be denied or reinterpreted to fit the ideology of the group.
Dispensing of existence. The group has the prerogative to decide who has the right to exist and who does not. This is usually not literal but means that those in the outside world are not saved, unenlightened, unconscious, and must be converted to the group's ideology. If they do not join the group or are critical of the group, then they must be rejected by the members. Thus, the outside world loses all credibility. In conjunction, should any member leave the group, he or she must be rejected also.

Milieu control is a term popularized by psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton to describe tactics that control environment and human communication through the use of social pressure and group language; such tactics may include dogma, protocols, innuendo, slang, and pronunciation, which enables group members to identify other members, or to promote cognitive changes in individuals.

...

Milieu control involves the control of communication within a group environment, that also may (or may not) result in a significant degree of isolation from surrounding society. When non-group members, or outsiders, are considered or potentially labeled as less valuable without basis for stated group-supported and group-reinforced prejudice, group members may have a tendency to then consider themselves as intellectually superior, which can limit alternate points of view, thus becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy in which group members automatically begin to devalue others and the intellect of others that are separate from their group, without logical rationale for doing so. Additionally, Milieu control "includes other techniques to restrict members' contact with the outside world and to be able to make critical, rational, judgments about information."

Bad luck for me again, folks!

Today's exchange went as follows:

"May I please get a Double Quarter Pounder® with Cheese and only mustard on it?"

"Double Quarter Pounder® with Cheese and only mustard?"

"Yep!"

"And you still want the cheese, right?"

"Yep!"

However I am sorry to say I received a burger with no cheese. 😔 I'm torn on what I'd have preferred. I think the cheese is actually more important, so I'd have preferred one of the other mix ups.

Obviously the person who took the order is never the person who assembles the sandwich but it sucks to have it confirmed back to me and still end up wrong!

Thankfully I was heading home anyway and had some cheese I could apply manually, which is actually the same as cooking. Feels good to cook!

He can't because he could have shaded the character for the black and white reproductions.

Dilbert has had black characters from the start in the Sunday strips because they used to be done the opposite way. Adams did them in black and white and they got colored by the company.

I'm pretty sure there have been deliberately black characters before too, just none were main characters. (And this one isn't either if he's only going to be around for a week.)

I mean, look at how many people in this thread are reacting to it. People aren't even reading it or using prior OP-Eds to justify ignoring it. It's a huge expose, far bigger than anyone here is realizing because they refuse to engage with it. It's embarrassing, that third part is a study of literally every show he's done and how he operates rhetorically to drag people into conspiracy theory land. (Literally using some of the same para-social techniques streamers and YouTubers use)

Keep in mind, we've had people on the left, on this very forum, watch some of these segments and say Tucker is making a good leftist argument. That last article should be required viewing for people because it breaks down exactly how he's able to push insane conspiracy nonsense and get people to buy into it. He frames it all as "the powerful elites vs you, the normal person" and once he's got you buying at that point he starts bringing in MRA, nativist, and other fascist shit under the radar and dragging people into the ideological swamp.

They literally went through SIX YEARS of his show, every single episode, to put this together.

If this was some John Oliver or YouTuber shit people would be praising them and talking about how they wished the actual news would do stuff like this. Meanwhile, when the actual news does this sort of thing look what the response is.

Don't listen to this Nazi shit, the article only has more fascist propaganda in it:

After they send it back again and want another new cut I'd replace the statue of liberty with a statue of Winnie the Pooh.

Marvel and Western studios are all too eager to get rid of LGBTQ+ folks from movies but the Statue of Liberty is a step too far?

It's literally the final act of the movie, you bozos. You couldn't remove it even if you wanted to

Replace the Statue of Liberty with an Evangelion, win-win.

When they announced there was a movie called Doctor Strange I knew the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak were going to be in it and I was like fuck this shit, whole thing is spoiled. Why couldn't they just announce "MCU MOVIE" in comic sans white on black and let us find out what happens without spoilers?

So here I am just watching the Celtics bucks game, great game. Commercial’s come on and a Dr. Strange spot appears. Thinking it’s the one I’ve seen a million times I watch it. Nope it’s a new one and spoils two pretty damn big reveals…
That would have been so fucking hype to see in theaters but no they fucking spoil it… Sorry for so much profanity but I’m genuinely pretty pissed off they would show that in a TV spot. Marvel has always been pretty good at that stuff so why spoil a huge reveal… so irritating. I never watch trailers after the first one but now I guess I can never watch commercials when a hype movie is coming out…

Dude definitely overreacted but it's always funny to see how they turn into bullies about it because it's too much work to use built-in spoiler functions or attempt to show courtesy.

Every spoiler complaint thread is filled with hostility and people calling each other assholes or insane. For some reason this is totally fine in a place when they ban people for mistakenly calling a criminal the wrong pronoun?

Soon we will have our first "the teaser trailer spoiled a movie for me" thread.

Spoilerphobes need to go outside and see some trees or something. Y'all are being weird.

That's literally what this thread is...

Dude saw a trailer during a football game and cried spoilers

B-Dubs blatantly making fun of someone perceived as weird and needing to go outside. Isn't that extremely ableist?

We have literal incel rhetoric on wrist sizes in the wild, alongside the usual subterranean levels of mental health.

It’s still there, just in the weird non-public off-topic forum with all the Gary Larson threads and one about the box office gross of Downton Abbey.

imagine if you could go through life with no spoilers

like you've waited 10 years since the last star wars movie and there are no news sites or commercials to spoil you and one day your friend blindfolds you and takes you to a theater and sits you down without context and HOLY SHIT IT'S REEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY

These people wouldn’t survive the days of drive by Harry Potter spoilers at Barnes and Noble.

Oh, wow, just straight up spoiling that Bucks-Celtics Game 1 turned into a football game.
