Given that this thread is based on old tweets, some of which have been deleted, and that another trans Netflix creator is currently facing harassment on twitter, we don't feel comfortable hosting this thread. As such we are locking it.

That's where they draw the line?  :lol

And what has this to do with someone else being harassed? Who even is it? Contrapoints?
Oh wait, when people harass her Resetera doesn't care

It's just another example that something is harrassment or consequences based on who the target is, not the actions performed.

Mild criticism of eras demonstrably flawed moderation practices? Harrassment.
Daily death threats for an ongoing period of months because you liked a tweet saying a lesbian should never be pressured into sucking a dick? Consequences.

Is it something controversial?

If PCEra leaves, XboxERA leaves and now NintendoERA leaves, only Sony and smartphones remain.

And I don't think people here are very into smartphones.

Quote
This is absurd, not being a member of one of these insular communities doesn't mean you only like Sony. I get wanting to make your own thing, and you've done that. No need to linger here and talk shit.

Quote
What does "leaning Sony" even mean though? The front page has threads about all kinds of stuff.

These threads spawned their own community from hyping Nintendo directs and that's fine and good. It doesn't mean that literally every Nintendo/Xbox/PC fan has left era lol.

Quote
I'm not disputing that these communities have partially or entirely bailed, just that not everyone who likes Nintendo/Sony/Xbox identifies as being a part of these specific communities.

It makes no sense to claim the majority of users left here are Sony fans because it assumes people can only like one thing.

era really fucked up on this one, there are very few places online where people collate hard data and provide historical context for that data, because very few people are that way inclined mentally to do that shit for fun, for free.
console warring is fucking errrrwhere and era is by no means the special fucking snowflake it thinks it is when it comes to that regard.

It looks like they've migrated all of their historical sales data topics all the way back to fucking 2004 too, so if any of them are petty enough to wipe their prior era posts of data (HINT HINT SALES GUYS), their new site is actually likely to be pretty successful.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Is So Good Smash May Need To Watch Its Back
Nickelodeon’s unlikely fighting game may just be a Super Smash Bros. killer

By Ian Walker

first paragraph of the article?

Quote
A lot of hay’s been made about Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl’s supposed failings. There’s no voice acting, the graphics are rough, the roster is disappointing, it feels like an early access game, etc. But I’m here to say none of that matters. Well, okay, it may matter to you, which is totally valid, but in the grand scheme of things, this neat little fighting game already has everything it needs to be successful.

yes I'm sure nintendo is very worried  :doge

Quote
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl isn’t shy about its influences. Nigel Thornberry’s flick attack is basically Jigglypuff’s rest. Patrick’s Hugdriver special works much like a longtime Super Smash Bros. move known lovingly as the Bowsercide. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle rep Michelangelo can use his grappling hook to tether to the side of the stage from long distances and pull himself up, much like the recovery techniques of over a dozen characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Honestly, the whole game feels like someone made a Nickelodeon-themed Super Smash Bros. Melee mod.

 :doge :doge

Quote
In some ways, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is an underbaked game that doesn’t give you much to do but take part in battle after battle. Its tutorial is just a slideshow. Even things you assume would be basic features in any fighting game, like voice acting and alternate character colors in mirror matches, are missing.

 :doge :doge :doge

comments are also calling this out

Quote
re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Is So Good Smash May Need To Watch Its Back

no, no it’s not. It will sell better than the kart racing games, and it may occupy a similar position that Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid currently occupies, but there is no way you can consider a game a “Smash killer” if it is only hyped by the hardcore competitive community.

Quote
Let’s be honest. This is a blatant rip-off, an unapologetic cash-grab, that looks like it was developed in a year with very clunky animations. This is just profiting off nostalgia while stealing from another game.

Quote
I’ll be honestly surprised if this game comes close to challenging Smash Bros in the tournament scene.

Quote
It’s a fun game and definitely has some depth to it but, man is this thing a straight up copy of smash down to the menus. With no voice work this feels low effort and will be best played on friend filled nostalgia nights.

Quote
If Smash and Nick All Stars were going to compete, Smash wins in a 3 stock

Who is brave enough to post this on resetera

https://contextmediagroup.com/do-you-see-where-im-going-with-this/

Quote

But buried underneath the avalanche of opinions are some key points that Chappelle made: that whiteness overrules any form of marginalization a white person is dealing with, that in America Black life is cheap, and there is a hierarchy of offense in America that Black people are at the bottom of.


Quote

Black LGBTQ people and activists have been calling out the racism in predominately white LGBTQ organizations and spaces for decades. Compare the swift public statements of condemnation of DaBaby from mainstream LGBTQ orgs with their near silence on Ed Buck, the wealthy Los Angeles political donor who’s long and well-known history of predatory behavior led to the deaths of two Black queer men.

The statement about whiteness overruling every other consideration also works in reverse. Dave Chappelle is a very wealthy, influential, and powerful man. But he is still a Black man. That fact can be used to negate his accomplishments whenever America chooses. History-even recent history-is filled with examples of this and if we are going to address harm done marginalized communities, Black Americans, no matter their sexual or gender identity, rank at the bottom of every socioeconomic success metric in America.


Quote


People aren’t angry with Chappelle, they’re angry at the reflection in the mirror he held up.

The punchline doesn't really make sense because the stereotype isn't that cops beat up women, it's that they beat up minorities.

If it was "we'd have become rappers" it would make more sense, because rappers are known for beating up women. But then the joke wouldn't be against police, which is probably more important to her target audience.

the premise is off too, because most peoples issue with genetic men competing directly against genetic women is based on the idea that it is potentially gaining an unsportsmanlike competitive advantage, due to inherent differences in things like size, strength and stamina - but I don't have a decade of academic training in comedy so :idont

This thread is now re-opened to discussion, but we're going to lay down some ground rules here. Whether Jim Ryan's comment was what he meant or not is not the discussion. It's what he said, and what he said was insulting to people in the Middle East. Dismissing that or handwaving it will be met with strict moderation. If your sole purpose in this thread is to defend the corporate PR executive of your favorite gaming company, you'd be much better off just not posting.

Not sure if I have the years of comedy experience necessary to make that judgement

What even is a famous "trans joke"?

Even the famous "I identify as an attack helicopter" isn't a joke about trans people, it's a joke about the argument that you can be anything you want as long as you publicly state you identify as it hard enough.

But what he said was not wrong and neither that is exactly a sin to mention that being treated as a second class citizen is irritating (even if you didn’t suffer as you fellows).

I can sympathize with him because Mexico was in a similar situation (piracy land and grey market) so I dunno why “he didn’t need to deal with that” is a valid take that when it is true and happened to other countries.

Rami never lived in the Middle East, he was born and raised in the Netherlands. Lived in Alphen all his life and went to university in Utrecht.

In this specific situation... what of it?

We had net cafés and arcades and NES ROM hacks same time as the West did

We just bought cracked games & Polystations because you wouldn't sell to us
He's acting like he's speaking from personal experience and turns himself into a victim of the 'West' ,which is bullshit because he's from the 'West' himself.

"You wouldn't sell to us"

Who is 'us?' , Rami's family could buy a PlayStation any day of the week.


I'm really done with these sorts of clowns who don't appreciate the opportunities they've been given. He made good money with Vlambeer and lived his life in peace and prosperity.
Given his age, his university education was either partially or fully funded by our state.
Instead of learning others how to achieve their dreams he acts like he is some sort of opressed minority and self-flogging boomers want to hear that nonsense.

Yeah, Rami is a Karen.  I've had him muted on Twitter for awhile.  Guy has lived a charmed life since birth in the cradle of affluence and cries incessantly about being oppressed.  Fucking goof.

I'm trying to understand what he is even trying to say here. I have to take a guess here that he means Famiclones and the like with numerous games built in, but it is very clear he doesn't know what a NES ROM Hack is. Famiclones didn't proliferate until the early 90's, with the majority of them not existing until 1-2 years after the SNES had released. His argument is "We had it at the same time 6-9 years later!"

Netcafes similarly were first in the west (1994) and then proliferated in the rest of the world in the late 90's. Bringing netcafes is hilarious too, because they never caught on in most of the places in the west that had a preference for owning a personal computer.

“Why the fuck he doesnt just shut up and dribble.”

You guys really don’t understand why even people of privileged backgrounds will still point out stuff like this. Yes, I bet he is being hypocritical in other issues, specially others with more importance that vidya games. But saying that is all kind of shitty that Corps we’re interested in in accept there were emerging markets because the piracy or lack of effort to market their products in fair prices is not exactly something I will go “shut the fuck up dutch”.

Yeah, his daddy probably bought him a PSX whatever but you guys act like he will not have knowledge of a IRL issue because he lived in Europe.

Like I said, in this specific case it sounds misplaced given that he is just talking about vidya.

PD: I don’t think what Jim Ryan said was racist (lol no) but is clear that he is talking corporate and out of touch with anything that is not the Anglophone market.

Wow. I started reading the thread, and it was fucking excellent. Then I got to the list of dead people, and it just didn't stop. I caught myself wanting to click over to another tab just so I didn't have to feel uncomfortable anymore, and I guess that was the sign to me to keep fucking reading that list and keep being uncomfortable. Now I feel like shit, but I don't feel bad about it, if that makes sense. It's fucking scary how easy it is for a cis piece of shit like myself to just shut these injustices out.

He is saying there was a emergent market and “gaming culture” there to begin with, limited by piracy and economic factors that Sony and other corps could have helped to destroy if they bothered to try.

I think he means multicarts and by net cafe he probably means gaming clubs which are still around, I don't think netcafes were a thing until 2000s over there.

The Polystation he is showing was a circa 2004 clone console that only played NES games  :lol

Maybe he meant some of the shitty hacks that came with those consoles. But why bring that up when no one in the West used these things and definitely didn't want to play the shitty rom hacks on it.

Same time as the west, 18 years later!

It's pathetic that a person who was put in prison for life for probably a horrible murderous crime gets celebrated for taking justice into his own hands.

in the latest game sales thread, people were wondering why it was so shitty and why nobody was talking about it

somebody openly posted a tweet talking about the new sales forum

labor not happy about it

harassment from era mods...?  :confused

/s obviously. Shame they ended up leaving, best of luck and I hope they find it more comfortable there. Might register later as apparently you can't see past the OP without an account but I doubt I'll do anything but lurk as apparently I was one of the bad guys for some reason, I dunno.

Wasn't this guy part of the trolls who caused this mess in the first place?  :lol
Yes. He was being a little snitch bitch backing the mods, then tried to pivot when the tide changed.

My first internet experience with Rami Ismail was wondering why the dude from Mr. Robot had such shitty opinions and shared them so freely on Twitter.
