I've no idea why they hate that guy so much. We all know how possessive those weirdos are, so I'd guess it's because he took Grimes away from them.

Quote from: odiin
Anyone who is still frying their chicken in oil is doing it wrong. All you have to do is cover your chicken in flour, preferably by putting it in the flour bag itself so you don't have any additional cleanup, and then just microwave it for like 9 minutes. It turns out pretty much almost exactly the same except it's way healthier because there's no oil.

Quote from: EyesWideCollin
MOD EDIT: We don't platform this content here

Journalist Colin Moriarty just did an interview today with him as well. I found that he asked more direct and hard hitting questions than the IGN one. He really held Hasan’s feet to the fire more even though Hasan finds ways to weasel his way out of each question through lots of rambling and confusing answers. I thought a full hour interview would make everything much clearer but it really just made it all more convoluted in a way. I know he’s obviously a con man but the angle of his scam is sort of confusing to me.
Classic troll job. You pop into a thread and post something on-topic that may be informative.

Then the staff ban you permanently because it was regarding someone they've unpersoned but listed nowhere. Haha, got em!

This is depressingly the case for the whole global discourse on trans issues, that cis platforms really don't want to get into it so the broader public remains completely unaware as we are left with our own community to face with extremist GC types saying whatever hateful sewage you can imagine. Casual observers will nonchalantly see Rowling in a "row" with the trans community but they don't really understand the severity at all, leading to *immense* simplifications like "she just thinks sex is real!".

"They just hate her for acknowledging sex is real" is exactly how Rowling started getting in on this conversation with Maya Forstater.

Huh, I'm pretty surprised the JKR-Eating-Crackers thread wants to bring this up for a couple of reasons;

  • It's at least a partial acknowledgement that JKr like+retweeting something that said something along the lines of "There is no circumstance where a lesbian should feel coerced into sucking dick" leading to her getting daily harassment by multiple accounts including threats of sexual violence and death, leading to her Can You Online Fucks Stop Harrassing Me Now JFC 'anti-trans' article, leading to being VILLAIN NUMBER ONE, is a fucking villain of their own making
  • It's also at least an implict acknowledgement that you don't (and won't) win normie allies by responding to a statement like "No, a lesbian not wanting to suck a dick is nothing at all like racism, wtf?" with "STFU AND DIE YOU EVIL TERF CUNT"

I feel that boycotting SNK is probably kind of useless in the great scheme of things given that the guy is a Saudi Prince that is already filthy rich to begin with. Isn’t most of this stuff vanity projects for them to begin with?

Does he even know or care about this?  Doubtful that he had anything to do with it.  It appears to be a government-created company that has invested in SNK and they have also invested in other companies as well.  They have a non-profit arm that was somewhat popular up until the Jamal Khashoggi murder.

Quote from: Nepenthe
Quote from: L Thammy
But you don't get this sort of reaction when someone decides not to buy this something for the gameplay. You don't get pages and pages of people condemning others for not buying Sonic 2006 just because it's a buggy mess. No one talks about how unfair it is to the developers that you don't buy their game. But when someone suggests that they aren't buying a game due to a moral decision, the narrative changes, and suddenly they have to defend why they aren't doing it. The personal decision must be justified.

You're absolutely correct, and I've said this same thing many times before. To me it comes down to bubble preservation: If deciding not to buy a game on ethical grounds became a self-evidently justifiable reason in the eyes of the larger gaming community in the same way that "I don't like the genre" did, you then open up the flood gates to confront just how horrible this industry can be, and people just don't want to feel guilty about not caring. That's the rub here; it's not that people don't want to feel guilty for buying something that wasn't ethically produced, because it's largely unavoidable in capitalism. They don't want to feel guilty for knowing about these abuses, and not giving a shit anyway. How does it look to see the ABK lawsuits and go "who cares" anyway? It makes you look like a piece of shit. So the calls for justification are just a defense mechanism against the raging apathy of workplace abuse. It's to simply stave off that existential dread that comes with knowing there's a bad thing happening and yet you are committed to doing fuck all about it.

It comes from the same place that insists that the existence of minorities must be overly justified to the ever-moving criteria set by people who never actually cared about representation in the first place. "They're not marketable." "They're not relatable." "You're messing with the artist's vision." "You're bringing politics into an apolitical art form." These are all excuses to keep the medium as white as possible, because you knowingly cannot continue LARPing that you're biased against (or God forbid, oppressed) for being a gamer and that the medium is your safe space the moment a Black person enters the fray. Minorites break a lot of the implied consensus and customs of gaming culture just by their very existence, hence the continued pushback against their inclusion and accurate representation.

Ultimately gaming is at a crossroads where people want it to be taken seriously but without any of the responsibility that comes with an art form being given prestige of being taken seriously as an art form. They want the freedom of expression without the freedom of criticism. They want the games to get better, more quickly, without regard of the mental and physical human toll. They want the prestige of hyping up the universality of games, that "everyone can play," without giving up one of the few communal notions of white maledom they believe they have left. People gotta choose; either you want gaming to grow up or you don't.

One insider says Miller had "frequent meltdowns" during production last year on The Flash. While the insider stresses there was no yelling or violent outbursts, they described Miller as "losing it." "Ezra would get a thought in his head and say, 'I don't know what I'm doing,'" the insider tells Rolling Stone.

Are people actually dunking on people not buying a game for ethical resons in that SNK thread, or are they dunking on people going "Oh, well, I'm not gonna buy it on ethical grounds, can anyone link me to a torrent?"

here's the thing though, I'm not mad that bollywood doesn't make movies pandering to me because I'm not indian and not part of that culture

say you're oblivious to culture and you make three movies to be released in india, one is about the plight of black people in america, one is an adaptation of wuthering heights, and one is a thoroughly indian movie full of songs and choreography

your indian movie performs the best at the box office

is there anything wrong with scratching your stupid head and saying "well shucks I guess I'll make more movies about india?"

if bollywood WANTS to pander to me I'm not saying no, if they feel strongly that they're leaving a lot of money on the table by not targeting my dollars, sure, make the attempt, but that's their decision to make

17% of americans are hispanic, 12% are black, 6% are asian, 3% are gay or lesbian, 1% are native american, 1% are muslim, so forgive me if I'm not surprised that less entertainment media is made to specifically target these groups

a smart businessman will make sure at least not to offend them and try to capture those dollars, but I'm not in favor of outrage-based compulsory mass market art creation

Don't forget that if the company doesn't have that percentage (or better) of employees who identify as those things then it's cultural appropriation to make a game/movie/book/etc. with any of those things in it. (Even if the company works with outside consultants that's not good enough as SIFU's violent bigotry showed.)

Making the medium less white (purely in the visibility of other skin colors which challenges "customs of gaming culture just by their very existence"), as Nepenthe advocates, is exploiting non-white bodies and experiences in the name of capitalism.

I want to create a new version of the Wii classic Order-Up!! but I know that including a step where you wash the meat would be me straying from my lane so I don't.

Ass Creed III had a whole cast of Native American characters including the protagonist and the spin-off Liberation was all about Creole culture, slavery, interracial romances, etc. with a mixed-race woman protagonist. Don't really see either of them mentioned a lot though even though it was one of the most successful entries in the franchise. Kotaku and others of that set praised it for not portraying the American Revolution in jingoistic or nationalistic ways. (Though why a French-Canadian company would do this is left up to the reader.)

I think if Will didn’t slap the shit out of Chris this would’ve been a huge deal and probably the standout bad moment of the night honestly.

17% of americans are hispanic, 12% are black, 6% are asian, 3% are gay or lesbian, 1% are native american, 1% are muslim, so forgive me if I'm not surprised that less entertainment media is made to specifically target these groups

a smart businessman will make sure at least not to offend them and try to capture those dollars, but I'm not in favor of outrage-based compulsory mass market art creation
Don't forget that if the company doesn't have that percentage (or better) of employees who identify as those things then it's cultural appropriation to make a game/movie/book/etc. with any of those things in it. (Even if the company works with outside consultants that's not good enough as SIFU's violent bigotry showed.)

Making the medium less white (purely in the visibility of other skin colors which challenges "customs of gaming culture just by their very existence"), as Nepenthe advocates, is exploiting non-white bodies and experiences in the name of capitalism.

I want to create a new version of the Wii classic Order-Up!! but I know that including a step where you wash the meat would be me straying from my lane so I don't.

Just remember Nepenthe losing her shit because an Overwatch character had a common MMA cornrow hairstyle

Rolling Stone:

One insider says Miller had "frequent meltdowns" during production last year on The Flash. While the insider stresses there was no yelling or violent outbursts, they described Miller as "losing it." "Ezra would get a thought in his head and say, 'I don't know what I'm doing,'" the insider tells Rolling Stone.

I like how the Rolling Stone article reads like the writer is trying really hard not to use they/them. Aside from a quote, it’s 12 paragraphs before she drops one, and even then it comes with a disclaimer that’s effectively putting (sic) next to it. Until then it’s “Miller”, “the actor”, “the Flash star”, “the 29-year-old”…

Even I hate him at this point, at least on a personal level. Would you really want to have a beer with Elon Musk? It'd be like hanging out with a rich Elliot Rodgers.

I sort of think of him as a vastly less incompetent evilore

Edit:. Oh that said "vastly".  :dead

Arguing with a mod arse licker about NFTs. How long til ban?

Quote
People just need to accept that NFTs aren't going away anytime soon. The constant raging at NFTs on this forum is just weird and I say that as someone who doesn't see any usage for them at all.

Quote
No, it's not weird. What is weird is your consistent need to defend NFTs and crypto in general.

It's actually quite logical and fact-based to '"rage" against NFTs. The reasons have been explained to you in numerous threads -- in regards to their impact on the environment and the disgusting grifter nature of NFT "creators" -- but you ignore them and continue to try and scold Era as a single entity for being rightfully negative toward NFTs and crypto, only to bounce from the thread when too many people start pointing it out to you.

You don't need to defend NFTs. You really don't.

Quote
Defend NFTs? Lol ok. People just raging on this forum non stop for ridiculous reasons daily but you do you. Fight the power, change the world.

Quote
No. Stop.

You are literally defending them in this post by referring to the reasons that people dislike them as "ridiculous" despite the reasons being factually valid and real.

That is my point. Numerous people have explained to you why they're bad. You write those reasons off as "ridiculous."

Quote
No, I am saying people can hate them and still not get in a daily tizzy every time a new company announces plans for NFTs. If you think that is defending NFTs then you do you.

2. Non-gaming related stories are, for the most part, not allowed. If it's something substantial, like, "Facebook/Meta requires users to sign away their soul with an NFT 'smart contract' in order to use Oculus" then all right. "Idiot loses $140T in ape jpgs," "Tucker Carlson hosts three-hour-long segment about which cryptocurrency he'd like to fuck," or "Crocs release NFTs of their most fashionable shoes" are not. An informative thread about the topic is ok, but subject to close due to user behavior.

Why is he quoting this as if these were any kind of rules someone could look up?

Even if he didn't locked that thread Ree users would ignore that rule anyway.

Anyone hate it when you pull up to a urinal, start peeing and spray sideways onto the floor? What’s worse there’s someone next to you? It’s like I have to hold it in until that person leaves.

All this nonsense about wealth tax is ridiculous. Why should he be punished for working hard and getting paid. He made some incredible companies and products and earned that wealth. To even suggest that his wealth should be evenly distributed to lazy people lying on the couch wanting free money is sad.

This shite again. Folk can’t help thread derail with this. They were charged for this incident. It was a time they were fucked on drugs. Pretty sure when you’re in your 50s you’re different from your 20s no?

Anyway, the single leaked today. It’s called Black Summer and the album is out April 1st called ‘Unlimited Love’.

lol it's mostly because it being a Lesbian was considered mostly just a phase and that most of them would still marry men and have aryan babies or at least get pregnant even if they never married.

Proof the more things change the more they stay the same there, that's about 3 words differently from what an average TERF would say today.

Yes, second wave feminists are famously all about telling lesbians to marry men and have babies.
