... No classics for Premium is some class-action lawsuit shit if nothing is added this month.

how can they expect people to pay $20 for nothing? If you paid $20 extra to Sony this month do you just get nothing? That just seems wrong and like consumers could take action against them as they are literally paying for nothing.

The premium tier is weak as fuck but they forget that it's a subscription service. You pay for simply keeping access to the games they offer, they're still providing the service people paid for, even if they don't add any games.

[Taco Bell Tower]

It sure as Hell is. Glad I waited to see how Premium rolls.

Sellers of smutty pictures were then "shadowbanned" across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other sites, the suits allege.

yeah, anyone who believes in "shadowbans" is a fucking idiot, end of.

Needless to say, multiple posters read headline and believe its trufax.

shadowbanning does exist for certain sites, but in those cases it is generally well-documented

one of my reddit accounts was shadowbanned. I hadn't used it in a while and my password wasn't very creative or strong, and some bot had hijacked it and used it to make posts shilling a scam shopping site. I was freaked out and changed my password immediately, but the damage was done. I would make posts and no one would reply to them, like no one was seeing what I was saying.

eventually a moderator replied to me and said "hey, just so you know, our tools are automatically flagging your posts for review and they aren't made visible until we see them and approve them, you might want to check if you're shadowbanned."  there's a sub where you can post a thread to see whether you are shadowbanned and a bot will check whether your comment was auto-hidden and tells you. https://www.reddit.com/r/ShadowBan/

I messaged admins to explain the situation and no one fucking cared or got back to me so I made another account
 

it is a leap of logic to instantly assume every site has such systems and start screaming that you've been silenced, but if reddit implemented it, I don't think it's unreasonable to think there might be others out there

Isn't Era like one of the most capitalist-critical gaming-oriented spaces on the Internet?

Why is there such a tacit celebration of the American supergiant literally personal data-selling company Microsoft buying everything and undercutting every competitor to bleed the competition to death?

I swear I feel like I'm being gaslit by the entire planet; surely someone can see through this bullshit?

I'm sure a lot of people can but like always, fanboy fanaticism blinds the senses.

Do you think everyone on era thinks the same? And the people that are the most capitalist-critical are the same ones supportive of the acquisitions?

We have two console brand OTs with users who are fanatical about what these respective companies do to grow their favorite brands. There's going to be naturally a lot of corporate cheerleaders from both sides lmao.

Bruh most games are this badly written/cheesy. Don't understand why Forspoken gets pushed on here.

But it is what it is.

And they get made fun of, too.  Remember that "I got to find Chaos" thing?  Putting a black protagonist in the game isn't going to stop people from judging bad writing.  They will do it vigorously, with the exaggerated swagger of a black teen.

Oh there is a reason...

But yes, TONNES of games have cringey AF non stop talking but THIS one is bad because.... that one glaring difference.

 
 

Some of us have memories. Like when the game was first announced, and all we had was a short clip of the character saying a single sentence, and it spawned a huge thread full of people arguing that the MC and her utterance of the word “fuck” were trashy, and inappropriate, and didnt belong in a fantasy JRPG.

And it’s been the same ever since then. Seriously had a bunch of people outraged that the MC’s actress was being interviewed too often. We’ve had people complaining that the game has nails and jewelry as equipment instead of “traditional” RPG equipment. And who could forget the anger when the cover art was revealed and a bunch of posters decided that it featured the MC too prominently, and should instead have a nice landscape or something on it.

There’s no good explanation for this kind of shit happening over and over again with this game that doesn’t involve race and gender.

I'm a huge Pony...but this does sorta sound like Sony is just arguing this hurts their market position and isn't fair cuz MS is too rich. lol...It's a lot deeper than that but that's the premise I got. We can't make a gamepass equivalent because AAA isn't sustainable that way for our pockets. COD can't be replaced because a competitor to it costs too much, won't be as popular and again, that's too much money for our pockets and it could fail. etc...

Eh...I don't really care for MS owning this many valuable IP, but I would just be trying to work out deals that keep COD on the platform at this point. It sucks the richest company in the world is on your turf and doing things you can't compete with, but it also shouldn't put you out of business if you pivot and gain valuable IP back in response.

I do get the worry though. Subscriptions already kinda suck, all the IP are broken up and fragmented, and rate increases once service gets popular is inevitable. But, you just have to fight for your business model. If Sony wants AAA to always be a thing, then they are gonna have to become the second Nintendo.

I see Nepenthe still living up to that "try to think more internationally" ideal because outside of the americas most of the fucking world is 'indigenous peoples'.

What have been some important contributions to society by Indigenous peoples?

- Food. Like, a LOT of the food and dishes we eat use ingredients or methods cultivated and maintained by Indigenous Peoples. Potatoes, beans, corn, peanuts, pumpkins, tomatoes, squash, peppers, nuts, melons, and sunflower seeds are just a small sampling of the sheer amount of food we eat today that have basis in Indigenous roots.
- Sports. Many sports and games we play today have their roots in Indigenous cultures, including lacrosse, tobogganing, tug-o-war, hockey, and of course, football (soccer).
- Medicine and Dental Hygiene. Many medicinal plants that were used to treat and prevent things like scurvy, food poisoning, dysentery, and malaria are still used today either in their raw form or as medicinal components in more chemical medications. Just as well, the earliest recorded cases of dental hygiene regimens are attributed to Indigenous People.

Cool, I'm an indigenous people, where does that put me on the Opression Totem pole?
 

Can't help but notice not a single fucking one of these 'facts' is sourced

I assume she's referring to the aztecs but this just highlights what kind of weird understanding Nepenthe has of culture. Yes, the Aztecs are some of the first people we have records of who played a team sport involving a ball. What this however doesn't mean is that this sport was exported to ancient greece, who also had ball games, or ancient china, who also had ball games, or that those sports are actually a precursor of the english football we know today.

Its also pretty fucking  to think growing and eating food or using herbs and plants for medicinal reasons is something unique to any particular culture when its fucking hunter gatherer 101 and literally every culture on earth went through that step

If you think about it, we're all Indigenous, we just moved around after.

The Soyny Pony's are just dissapointed that Cringe Enix hasn't been bought because Sony blew all their money on Bungie.
Overall though I think all platform holders have enough fans, studios, content^TM and partnerships to sustain their platforms.

Sony is right about COD being massive and MS is right about the fact that Sony will survive without COD

That said, funny how things changed
The year is 2010. I got a ps3 as birthday gift from my mother, bought another later because the first died.
I bought an 360 and Wii later but PS3 was my main console.
I bought almost every single exclusive possible for ps3 and signed PS+ at launch. Did you know that ps+ had DLC and PS1 games at the beginning? Instant game collection was so cool, free multiplayer too of course.

Then the Xbox One launch happened and I laughed so hard seeing some crazy folks trying to defend MS blocking used games and the always online

I even created a PlayStation focused fan page on Facebook and had close to 20.000 followers at time. Far from being big but it wasn't small either.

I bought a ps4 one year after launch, played a couple of exclusives and sold it to buy my PC. Games were so much cheaper on steam that I couldn't ignore.

Then everything that I liked about Sony's approach started to disappear. Two things that bothered me:
Ps+ became a shadow of it's early days, less games, more expensive.
Where were my PS1 games Sony? Why cant I play the ones I bought in the previous console? I could accept no ps3 emulation, but why couldn't I play ps1 and ps2 games on my ps4?

The only thing they didn't lose was the power of their first party studios. I bought a ps4 Pro to be able to play Spider-Man, GOW, Ghost of Tsushima, Lost legacy, Days gone (this one I never finished).

But almost every day some Sony executive gave an statement that made me disappointed or borderline angry. It reached a point where I sold my ps4Pro because I couldn't stand the "arrogant Sony". Being market leader is a hell of a drug. I was thinking about buying TLOUS 2 but never played because of that.

Now it's 2022
I bought a RTX 3060, last year I upgraded my CPU, SSD, ram, Mobo. A few months ago I signed for 3 years of gamepass. I use steam every day or at least week. I get games on GOG, EGS, Prime gaming...

Maybe it was the freedom that PC gaming offered but I just couldn't see myself investing more money on a service that gave me less and less benefits over time like ps+ (or it's tiers now).

On PC I can play almost any game from any generation, I have free online and tons of options

I don't see myself buying a ps5 and I literally don't need to buy a Xbox to have MS games.

Not that I wanna brag or something...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey

    The origin of ice hockey was bandy, a game that has its roots in the Middle Ages. Just as for practically all other sports, the game of bandy achieved its modern form during the 19th century in England, more exactly in the Fen district on the East coast. From the Fen district the game was spread to London and from London to the Continent during the second half of the 19th century. British soldiers stationed in eastern Canada brought the game to the North American continent in the 1850's and '60's. You could find similar games there, played by immigrants (chiefly Dutch) and by Indians. Thus there were a number of different games played on skates with a stick and ball and with varying rules in America before ice hockey was invented.[2]

I had no idea the main character was black until today, let alone that there was a whole campaign against the woman voicing her. It's not a game I or anyone I know has been paying much attention to other than that I vaguely recognized the name – and I post on a videogame board.

Thank you for making me aware that the actress is in the midst of ongoing racist and sexist attacks.

Just to be clear, there is not currently any notable herassment campaign against Ella Belinska. You can probably find random racist/sexist posts about her like you could anything else, but there’s no sustained campaign that I know of.

Or could it just be that warner has been mismanaged for a decade and now they need a desperate course correct.

That makes me think, I don't remember any outrage at Aquaman not being a blonde man, did I just miss that or people love Mamoa more than they want to be nitpicky racists?

Oh it was there. But it was brief because people love the guy. I mean, he grew up in Iowa…

Jason Momoa is "white adjacent" because he lived in Iowa?

Could I inquire why every single thread, and there are a lot of threads lately, about Ezra Miller has their pronouns put first above everything else, rather than, you know, the literal crimes being committed?

To avoid misgendering them

They/them need to go to jail for their crimes. They/them should be help responsible for all the really shitty behavior they’ve done. I didn’t know anything about Ezra miller until all the threads here and they/them seem like a colossal asshole

Can we at least stop saying "WB can't cancel The Flash because it might set Miller off"?

It's so offensive.

  I don't remember anyone posting that.

According to John Campea, Ezra’s already been silently fired, but WB still wants to release Flash because they feel it’s a good film and the cost. He mentioned they were more willing to cancel Batgirl, because it wasn’t going to be good. But I’m still like “Why did they cancel Scoob 2 though?!”

Scooby-Doo isn't white.

Can we please stop saying, "I'll kill all the lesser-thans if the next Aqua Man isn't blonde?  Can we please not???"  I keep hearing folx saying this in my head canon

Just for this allegation alone Dan should see jail time but if this is the worse one to come out of the decades he's been working with child actors them I don't know if we'll ever see any justice. This might not be the Jimmy Saville situation people think it is.

This allegation?

McCurdy reveals in new memoir that during her Nickelodeon days she was photographed in a bikini at a wardrobe fitting and encouraged to drink alcohol

How much jail time we talking about here?

Also, stuff you learn in comedy school:

Wouldn't surprise me if Schneider basically found a way to make most of the Nick executives of the time into accomplices some way or another. A mutually assured destruction strategy.

 The classic games catalog is fucking terrible. Extra is pretty cool, thought.

I had the Premium trial last week. I downloaded a few exclusives, played 5 minutes, realized they weren't for me and deleted. So that was good. I saved a few pennies there. Is it as good as GP? It's alright but it's way over-priced.

Yeah, Extra's a good value. Basically gives you a whole 'nother round of bigger monthly freebies and more.

Premium just gives you the right to stream old games that can be emulated on a toaster. Even the PS3 is easily outperformed by modern gaming PC's through RPCS3.

Interesting that he shows up to work and doesn't miss an engagement.

With his demonstrated instability, you'd think he would also be flighty with work commitments. Seems not.

I wonder what happened to him when he was a younger child star.

At least they got him out of there. He sounds like he needs help. But his victims first.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/new-details-on-fred-savage-being-ousted-from-the-wonder-years-for-being-a-creep.618267/#post-91391427

Probably better not to speculate until there’s some basis for it. While he may have suffered abuse as a child, the instant association between abuse victims -> abusers is a bit of a slap in the face to the many abuse victims who do not go on to abuse anyone else.

I’ve never seen a forum make so many threads about a person.

It must really bug you huh?

Fuck that guy

[Potato]

I had no idea the main character was black until today, let alone that there was a whole campaign against the woman voicing her. It's not a game I or anyone I know has been paying much attention to other than that I vaguely recognized the name – and I post on a videogame board.

Thank you for making me aware that the actress is in the midst of ongoing racist and sexist attacks.

Just to be clear, there is not currently any notable herassment campaign against Ella Belinska. You can probably find random racist/sexist posts about her like you could anything else, but there’s no sustained campaign that I know of.

What's this, a dismissal of an unsubstantiated claim of racism and sexism?

 

Look, I'm sure the rational, sane people at Resetera wouldn't just lie and make things up about online harassment and abuse now, would they?

The thread title sounds much better without the parentheses:
