dumb bike story makes me want to go around popping the tires on these rental bikes so nobody gets to ride them.


back in my day if you were walking somewhere and saw a bike in someone's yard. you took it and rode to your destination. then either dump the bike or keep it. sure, some poor kid lost their bike, but that little shit didn't listen to his parents when they told him to put it away.

Every time this happens the cop involved should get shot in the same spot.

Violence is the only language these apes understand, they'll learn real fast.

I would love it if the cop turns out to be black

I strongly believe that the only way people should be allowed to have guns in this country is if they volunteer to get shot with them first. And if they die, oh well. Until you know what it likes to feel that pain, you shouldn't be allowed to commit it on someone else against their will.

I’m not even defending cops or guns, but wtf are these responses?

Cool. You want to hunt, get shot first. Fuck you if you die.

You mean suck on filler's hog!

[Potato]

Yeah if the Citi Bike guy had just been honest about what happened in the first place (that he was preventing the woman from using the bike because he intended to use it later) it wouldn't have been a news story, but instead he told the story in a way that made him seem like more of a victim than he actually was (and the woman's lawyer neglected to mention that part too, for the same reason). Social media users once again causing people to make assumptions and hate on the basis of race.

There's a solution to this. Don't consume this type of bullshit.

So when the story flipped the first time, all the posters going hard just vanished (NepGPT in particular). Then when the story flops back... they have the fucking audacity to say "so where's all the posters who said blah blah blah now?" Are you fucking kidding me?

Didn't they once explicitly ban that kind of calling out? I mean beyond it being "metacommentary" or "cross-thread drama" or whatever multi-purpose bans they already have.

Not sure if anyone else has been watching Succession but I’ve been reading the OT era and just got to the “America decides” discussion and OH MY GOD, they are such a bunch of bed wetters.

This episode fucked up my anxiety and I have already been feeling the need to panic about 2024.

That was a great episode but DAMN that was rough reliving election night 2016 with 2020 election fuckery sprinkled in

That episode was too anxiety inducing with the election coverage. Great episode but man I was feeling every minute of it. And knew exactly where it would end

PTSD from 2016 tonight. shit.

This episode caused me to relive some scary shit. Anxiety through the roof.

Succession is great and inspires some baby brain takes about empathy for ultra rich fictional Richard Murdoch and family.

Anyway, if that episode was too much for them, they should try watching HBO’s Conspiracy. Another slow and clinical look behind the doors at men making a big decisions. And they won’t struggle as much with relating to the people there.

Yeah... that's an awful leak. We shouldn't be sharing that kind of stuff here and boosting it further. Not that it matters much I guess.

I do wish full game leaks like this werent allowed here. For the sake of the devs behind the project.

Yeah, this fucking sucks and isn’t cool at all.

Just wanted to say, as a developer, that sharing this is 1000 worse than sharing a SNES rom.

This sucks massively for the development team for it to be unceremoniously dumped into a video like this and uploaded. This thread is 2.5 hours old and it’s still up too.

Look at all the backseat modding. Somehow, Angie ignores it all. As you can see below, the staff enables this problematic behavior that drives off real industry people.

Actually not that much of a leak. It comes out in 2 days.

If I were to guess, this likely just had the wrong upload date put on it. Because it's odd a Publisher would allow a FULL playthrough but embargo reviews.

So nobody cares, but actually yes embargoes are important so this must be an error. I'm not gonna do my job though.

This is not the kind of person Limited Run Games or whoever the fuck hired him should be dealing with.

Whoever was foolish enough to hire him should be held accountable.

While such apologizes have become a bit too common in the gaming space, it's still nice to see them.

It skews older white users. There are certain demographics who I expect The Wall to not be relevant to them, even if they are older. Different groups have different inclinations towards the types of music they listen to and grow up with, which there's nothing wrong with. What becomes wrong is when these cultural inclinations become a marker of literacy and others don't. Merely saying "The Wall is very important" is irrelevant.

I’m not fan of Roger Waters opinions about Ukraine, but they are idiots that don’t realize is part of the point of The Wall.

Rogers trying to invoke imagery from The Wall is irrelevant. With the rise of Nazism and far-right ideologies across the world these days, this just comes off as tone-deaf and can be seen as a sign of support for those ideologies.

Yes. And yes.

I would say The Wall is a marker for music literacy. But so is Dr. Dre's The Chronic. Era user should and need to be familiar with both in order to claim music literacy. Otherwise, they cannot make such statements regarding literacy when they are just listening to their personal, limited likings.

Uh, since when does "media literacy" mean that you know a lot of media? Media literacy is about how you engage  with media, like not jumping to conclusions but analysing the context, researching the things that you're not familiar with and then coming to a conclusion about what the artistic goal was. So a lack of media literacy is exactly what you can accuse the critics of if they didn't engage with Roger Waters beyond "Nazi uniform = He must be a Nazi"

Though I'm completely unsurprised that Nep doesn't even know the concept of media literacy

[Boredfrom]

Boss Attack is such a coward. He deep down knows what he said what BS but he invited Nephente to special fellow and be racist because he tried to push his tastes as having  “better media literacy” than the rest of RE.

[Tuckers Law]

I do agree that The Chronic is a landmark album as well, but that doesn't change the fact that NepAI is more racist than Taybot, and both Nep and Boss are very distinguished mentally-challenged.

Context:
My kid does not have a phone.
I guess they were all writing phone numbers down to keep in contact over the summer, and my kid gave my wife’s phone number.
My kid mentioned this to my wife, and my wife foolishly thought that meant the other parents’ numbers were written down; most likely moms. Within an hour after school ended, my wife suddenly gets a barrage of texts, all from one group chat. It was all the kids, not their parents.

Holy hell, y’all.

It started fine. Lots of “hi! This is x”

Then the racism (mimicking speech of ethnicities, that sort of thing)
Then the banana and peach emojis.
Then the swearing. A lot of swearing.

My wife did not show these messages to our kid yet… but… my goodness!

So… yeah. I’m thinking my kid gets a phone at age 18 now. lol

[Snoopycat_]

9 year olds didn’t have wives in those days. Apart from Visawife obviously

[nobody of note]

Nepenthe in that phone thread:

"Besides the racism that's normal for 10 year olds."

Kids pick up on racial stratas and stereotypes at like half the age, even in Tim Wise-esque aggressively anti-racist homes.

Testing boundaries and proving your guff to peers is also a normal part of growing up, and in terms of white or white-majority groups that means seeing if you can get away with being a racist shitheel because they "know" it's wrong. Like when folks say "We all did stupid shit when we were young" during the admonishment of racist children and teens online, that's what they're referring to a lot of the time, unaware that other racial groups are less likely to see slurring and Blackface and shit as part of the path to growing up.

One day y'all will realize racism and white supremacy are just a basic fact of life at this point and stop acting like it's some abnormal indication of something gone wrong. That's merely the environment we live in.

I think there's acknowledging it's real and pervasive vs normalizing it.

It's not "normal" in the sense that we should not consider it acceptable.

Certainly I'm not surprised that 10 year olds can say or do racist things.

Racism is already normalized. It is the bedrock of this country's founding, it informs every public and private aspect of life, and ultimately we as a country do not possess the moral character at this moment to do what needs to be done to get rid of it. The fact that people openly consider it wrong doesn't change that.

Racism ought not be treated like a normal acceptable thing, but it is normal in the sense it's pervasive. It's worth keeping that distinction.

Of course. The distinction is appropriate, but I also find it trite depending upon the context because frankly I'm tired of white people being paralyzed with shock when something racist happens, as if racism is abnormal. I'm waiting for you all to start seriously talking about decolonization and reparations.

Her point seems to simultaneously be that white people need to stop acting shocked about kids being racist, but also that white people are the only ones who think kids being racist is part of growing up.

"No healing" in the hard mode challenges. My "favorite" kind of shitty action game design. Please just let people WILLINGLY do insane no-healing challenge runs, stop baking "you aren't allowed to heal" into the actual difficulty design. It sucks, I hate that "better not ever take a single hit, fuckwad" kind of design.

Why did they make the hard mode challenges HARD?! 

[remy]

games should be "hard" and "challenging" in way that I find personally easy anything else is bad game design

to be fair even plain ole regular action games on normal are challenge mode for poor planetsmasher

I get that topics of race are very sensitive but I didn't get an "Over the top hostility" from this post.

jumping down a known poc poster's throat over "race baiting" instead of engaging with any kind of actual point relating to the topic and pretty much every other paragraph of that felt pretty hostile to me

The phrase "Race Baiting" - you're right.  That's very true.  Hard to have a positive discussion after throwing that grenade in.

Saying "race baiting" is a 100% rightwing dogwhistle coding.

It's out right openly hostile and completely uncalled for, they obviously had an axe to grind and that sort of posting got what it deserved. Good riddance

Yeah I didn't see the previous post where the term was used.

oh well.  off he goes.

They used it in each of their posts, including the one you initially quoted in the thread

Not to mention the post quoted was very aggressive to Nep, especially the last portion that basically accused her of abusing her Admin powers... >>

It's 100% understandable why the got perm'd.

Never accuse authority of abusing power. Of course he deserved to get banned

While such apologizes have become a bit too common in the gaming space, it's still nice to see them.

Xbox finally got a Square Enix game for 2023

If he really wants his Xbox to get more Square Enix ports he should use his new position in the industry to get Sony to stop paying Square Enix's electrical bills.

Nepenthe in that phone thread:

Like when folks say "We all did stupid shit when we were young" during the admonishment of racist children and teens online, that's what they're referring to a lot of the time, unaware that other racial groups are less likely to see slurring and Blackface and shit as part of the path to growing up.

No, they're referring to how children are, in the aggregate, stupider than adults and make worse decisions from a lack of experience and understanding.
