They have 47 million PS Plus subscribers. They just need to convince half of them to pay a few more dollars a month essentially, and they will have as man as gamepass just like that. And it will include new games, just not Sony first party. Can almost guarantee that indie will be there, probably some GAAS, etc etc.

Keep in mind the nintendo subscription service has 32 million subscribers as well. When it comes to old and treasured IP, people will pay to have access to them, and if Sony can harness that stuff they will get people flowing in. People are really really brushing this aside when it comes to the no new games.

mmediate surrender is the only way to stop thousands of people dying. No freedom is worth that many innocent people losing their lives. What will all those peoples deaths be worth when the war is lost anyway? Even if you fight and lose thousands of people, what freedom will you really have left after a war? Your cities will be destroyed, your economy will be screwed and hundreds of thousands of people will have either lost family, their homes or their livelyhoods. What about all the innocent people who got conscripted and now have to live their lives with PTSD many eventually losing their lives as a result of the war due to depression and PTSD.

There are an unbelievable not 0 amount of supposed anti-war left wingers (not absolute randos either, one is a sitting NY city council member) trying to tie the responsibility for Russia invading Ukraine to the NATO actions against the Former Yugoslavia in response to the genocide that was going on there

And I'm just like what in the flying fuck

https://www.resetera.com/threads/russia-has-begun-a-full-scale-invasion-in-ukraine-read-staff-post.556366/post-82740427

I think the change in excel is due to B-Dubs vigilance in rooting out pacifists and critics of NATO's past actions.  She's seen which way the wind is blowing and if comes to keeping her morals or her Era membership it's an easy choice.

User Banned (1 Month): Thread derailment over multiple posts; History of Similar Behaviour
Quote
intervention could lead to a full on war.

Putin has said this during his broadcast when the Special Military Operation commenced on Ukraine "No matter who tries to stand in our way or all the more so create threats for our country and our people, they must know that Russia will respond immediately, and the consequences will be such as you have never seen in your entire history" which by all indication means he is threatening with Nuclear Retaliation if the west intervenes.

so there is no big gap and I called you out. if you think that is condescending then by all means take it as such, I don't give a shit.
What if Putin decides to occupy the entire earth and kept threatening a nuclear war, should we sit pretty and watch him do it?
User Banned (2 Weeks): Thread derailment over multiple posts

It wasn't a benchmark, I'm arguing that not everybody will die. Humanity not going extinct doesn't mean everything's sunshine and rainbows.

If running around screaming this is WW3 when everyone but Ukraine is fighting is bullshit, which it is because it's clearly not WW3, so to is the counterclaim that if anyone interferes it's instantly WW3 and everybody dies. Both of those statements are just factually untrue.

I'm generally a fan of the idea of not doing something if you can't handle the worst case scenario. I can't be against anyone unwilling to risk a nuclear exchange, it's a healthy fear. But I generally dislike it when risk gets boiled down to absolutes. When the risk of a nuclear war turns into it will absolutely be world war 3 and everybody will die, type shit.

To me it's a way of thinking that conveniently absolves us of choice, and thus responsibility, in our actions or lack there of.

Which I think is largely irrelevant to Ukraine now as I think the risk of nuclear war if a nuclear power such as the US were to intervene now is way higher than if it had been months ago. I wouldn't even make the choice to intervene today and you all probably think I'm psycho.

But what I fear the most about the mentality I see is that if everyone really is unwilling to risk nuclear war and already deems any possible conflict between NATO and Russia as the end of humanity I don't really see how NATO itself goes on. I think it's a scale of sorts, of course I don't want outright crazies in the Presidency and in charge of France and the UK thinking nuclear war is impossible going around the globe fucking shit up but at the same time I feel that if a future President and the rest of NATO feel a nuclear war must be made impossible then I feel we get into a fucked up situation in which maybe we don't really defend a NATO member because wrecking civilization over one country really isn't worth it.

And the fucked up thing is, it isn't actually worth it, it'd be categorically stupid to nuke the northern hemisphere over 1 country, you know? Ethically, the right move to make if you were on the receiving end of a nuclear first strike would be to not respond. But I don't think NATO or MAD works if you wholesale don't have some belief in yourself and that you'd go through with it anyways despite how stupid it is.

Again, I don't think it's relevant to Ukraine anymore, it passed the point I'd have been willing to bet on intervention weeks ago but we may find ourselves in this situation again soon and I think at some point we're going to need to once again prove, like we did decades ago, that we are willing to risk the possibility of nuclear war for NATO to have any real shot of actually standing.
User Banned (1 Month): Fearmongering; Account in Junior Phase

The whole point of conscription is obliging people who havent volunteered, to defend their country.


Conscription and forced conscription are the same thing.

That's how wars are supposed to be fought. Especially when your country is being invaded. Every combatant in WW2 did it. If the allies had refused, then the war would have been over quickly and Germany would be masters of Europe.

Every NATO country needs to implement conscription right now. The Second Cold War has started.

• Sanctions - NOW (Swift, strict non-energy export/import ban, revoke visas of all oligarchs and their friends/family)
• Resupply with ammo/transport/missiles launchers at Polish Border
• Sweden and Finland to declare an intent to join NATO
• ME countries increasing supply to Europe of oil and gas as much as possible
• More social pressure like sports and entertainment events being cancelled in Russia, and Russia disinvented from them elsewhere
• Internet campaigns and cyberattacks to show the true how Putin is attacking Ukraine, and how Russians are dying on the streets for nothing
• Russias and international celebrities/influencers all sharing anti-war content
• Finish with the Iran to re-enter the agreement when it comes to sanctions and suspension of their nuclear program. It was at the idiotic standstill where both parties demand the other act first (Remove Sanctions or Stop Enrichment/Allow Monitoring first), so just make this rare compromise of lifting fucking sanction first.
• Make Russia's cocksucking military partners see how a lot of their products are not effective, countered by much cheaper weaponry. If this was supposed to be a demonstration of Russia's superpower, it should backfire.
• EU better carves billions in hundreds for Ukraine's aid in refugees, military, infrastructure, manufacturing, city rebuilding - it is your money and appeasement that allowed Putin to act this way

Fight the cancer while it is exposed. I feel like as Russia policy, army and its troll armies failing, the world can actually come closer together.
Thank you mods for keeping discussion on track. 🙏

For me, an easy game doesn’t respect my time. Those who have FOMO should have FOMO because you are missing out, big time. But what you are missing out on can only be reached by mastering that which is hard.

Also worth noting that a nation invading another sovereign nation is quite a rarity, especially with the intent of capturing and annexing territory from the latter. African civil wars that can last for decades are not really similar events. Those also don't tend to include nuclear powers with calls for the biggest and baddest nuclear power to get directly involved which tends to draw the attention of the media in that country.

Honestly, I hate it how fragile whites default to lockstep skinfolk solidarity at all times. Pieces of shit never disagree about anything or have divergent interests other than oppressing Black and brown bodies. Then they demand everybody pay attention to their interests like some dumb war between whites instead of legitimate things like the Texas Genocide or the white supremacist character creator in Elden Ring.

As long as character dont get whitewashed like Barret in FF7 remake I'm mostly just fine with it (as an Afro American).

Much rather have Ultrawide support on PC and good perf. So yeah, rather see the dev effort funding for an additional engineer over more artists.

tl;dr - As long as they dont whitewash (turn a black character into Italian or something I'm ok). And I still bought FF7 remake so meh its on me too

sometimes I just make an Asian looking character anyways so it doesnt bother me. But Iya sure it can be annoying cause I did try to make an african looking character in Elden Ring and it went real bad real fast. Even tho I was annoyed I'd rather see dev focus go into things that benefits all gamers (like improved perf)

This is like... the dumbest and most flippant point of view you could have brought into the thread.
S1 - User Banned (1 Month): Dismissive, inflammatory commentary regarding representation

Get mad all you want; I'd still rather the budget go towards programming then Art which is just fluff in the end (cosmetic)

Go make a poll. I'm sure if you got a 1,000 votes and the options were:
Spend time on making lots of options just for one race
Spend budget on improving performance on ALL platforms
Overwhelming the majority will vote on option #2. After game runs perfectly on all platforms then feel free to focus on cosmetics. That's all there is to it

You claim my point of view is dumb well; your argument makes no sense too me.

And yes I am a C++ software engineer so I understand software development. Plus I am Afro American. I'm just able to zoom out and see the big picture here with an unbiased view

Look at the PC Performance thread which has 33 pages. Now look at this thread which has only 3 pages at the time of my posting. Guess what the majority of people care about? Performance.

Except the dev in question is also black. I don't even agree with them (see my post above) but I think they should get a modicum of respect, on both accounts.

I know. I was one of the people countering their argument. But it's way more productive to a conversation to point why the argument is wrong, like I did (programmers aren't being pulled away to model black hair), than it is to yell at him to fuck off with his "know-it-all programmer credentials", or whatever it is that caused the other guy to go off.

He said that because Ukraine is white and Christian. Iraq and Afghan are neither of this.

it’s plain old racism.

Or maybe he said it because they stone women to death for showing their hair, you fucking dingus. If that's not uncivilised I don't know what is.

Stone the women to death and even under what is considered normal day to day life, treat them like second or third class citizens. But sure, somehow it’s the crackas fault.

These fucking losers.

It's not as if Ree aren't already on the path to stoning women. At the moment they're at the shaming stage. We've all seen how they treat women who dare to have opinions they don't like, or show their ankles in public.

As long as character dont get whitewashed like Barret in FF7 remake I'm mostly just fine with it (as an Afro American).

Much rather have Ultrawide support on PC and good perf. So yeah, rather see the dev effort funding for an additional engineer over more artists.

tl;dr - As long as they dont whitewash (turn a black character into Italian or something I'm ok). And I still bought FF7 remake so meh its on me too

sometimes I just make an Asian looking character anyways so it doesnt bother me. But Iya sure it can be annoying cause I did try to make an african looking character in Elden Ring and it went real bad real fast. Even tho I was annoyed I'd rather see dev focus go into things that benefits all gamers (like improved perf)

This is like... the dumbest and most flippant point of view you could have brought into the thread.
S1 - User Banned (1 Month): Dismissive, inflammatory commentary regarding representation

Get mad all you want; I'd still rather the budget go towards programming then Art which is just fluff in the end (cosmetic)

Go make a poll. I'm sure if you got a 1,000 votes and the options were:
Spend time on making lots of options just for one race
Spend budget on improving performance on ALL platforms
Overwhelming the majority will vote on option #2. After game runs perfectly on all platforms then feel free to focus on cosmetics. That's all there is to it

You claim my point of view is dumb well; your argument makes no sense too me.

And yes I am a C++ software engineer so I understand software development. Plus I am Afro American. I'm just able to zoom out and see the big picture here with an unbiased view

Look at the PC Performance thread which has 33 pages. Now look at this thread which has only 3 pages at the time of my posting. Guess what the majority of people care about? Performance.

Mod edit: Post Reverted

He tried to delete the post so as not to derail but the mods edited it back then banned him for it:

*edit- removing; people seem to be offended. I'd rather remove this post so we can all invest our energy into playing the game instead. Thanks

Also, Welltall Zero is upset about a response it got but the critics aren't having it:

I may not agree with them, but this is frankly uncalled for. I don't know what's up with Era shitting on devs, but it would be nice if any of us posting here got even an ounce of that respect and support you demand from corporations.

Never really played a souls before (always too daunting), but gave elden ring a shot. And even though I generally don't like open worlds, god damn it hooked me. I spent hours exploring the first little island, killing map bosses, exploring dungeons, doing side quests.... Even though I'm terrible at the game I managed to cheese my way through the Stormveil castle, explore every nook and crany, and reach the boss. And I was holding my own against him too, after only a couple tries!

Then the power went out for 5 seconds. And I literally lose my whole day's progress. Yay, no auto-saving on ps5! (Apparently even the ps4 version of the game on ps5 too)

I feel so dejected. Was finally able to break through difficulty of the game and make progress...all for nothing. I have no more interest in playing the game anymore, I just put up an ad online for someone to buy this cursed item from me.

Was on the verge of tears, over a stupid video game save. I've not been this upset about losing a save since I was a kid and my sister saved over my crisis core end-game save. maybe moreso.

I feel absolutely awful for the poor little guy. This really puts the Ukraine conflict into perspective.

Isn't that all based off a single screenshot where he looked to have lighter skin due to the lighting :teehee

Is it just me or has posting slowed down significantly on reee? I guess that is what happens when you ban half the forum in the Russia/Ukraine threads

I don't even know what the bans are for? I mean, they're banning people criticizing Ukraine and NATO and banning people cheering them both on.

I mean, what exactly are people allowed to say?

Was there a thread about how it's sexist that 18-60 y/o men are forbidden to leave the country? Or is that just a no-brainier since a man's life is more expendable than a woman's
