Bunch of 40 year old white shut ins trying to tell a Japanese developer what’s what about non-white characters. Put these losers on a shuttle and just aim it in the general direction of Pluto.

Quote from: Greg NYC3I mean, at 14 he was two years older than the age it takes to be tried as an adult if you're Black.I seriously doubt he's changed at all but it's pretty on brand for a New England franchise to not give a shit.Dude I am with you. I don't have a lot of remorse for violent teenagers. I would kind of be ok with this guy not getting to be a pro hockey player because he tortured another human being. The excuse of being a kid doesn't hold a lot of weight to me and seems to totally disregard the other victim.But some other definitely see it differently and I am not going to argue something like that. At a certain point it is more emotional than anything else.I had a similar take for those kids that beat that old man to death in Philly. Thats just how I feel about it. Doesn't mean I am right or that other people are not allowed to have a different opinion.

So you can just kill someone for being an idiot who has the wrong believes.

For those who regularly use and enjoy Twitter and are worried about what might come next, consider the story of ResetEra.
Since then, ResetEra has replaced NeoGAF as the video game industry’s go-to news aggregator and the place to capture the zeitgeist of the gaming community.The parallels aren’t perfect. Twitter, which has hundreds of millions of active users, is exponentially larger than the two gaming forums. But the ResetEra story is an example of a community actively mobilizing and rapidly moving from one website to another, which some groups of Twitter users may want to imitate in the wake of new management.

Quote from: RegirulerBlame Space was banned? apparently this level of snark is a justified perma-ban.Honestly don't see how Era is that much of a feel-good model for a Twitter replacement. Moderation and ownership has been tumultuous and it's now owned by a faceless weird MOBA ad company who would probably sell it off to an Elon Musk in a heartbeat.

QuoteThen, a group of old moderators and power-users started a new gaming website called ResetEra. It's amusing to me that the complete falsehood that any ex-GAF staff were involved with this site has endured so long. They certainly did try to market it that way, but the reality is that they mined us for ideas and then literally abandoned the Discord server they invited us to.

lolthis place is not close to what GAF wasI have learned about new games more on Youtube than here. Most leaks come from elsewhere. Many of the bigger devs got ran off.

Counterpoint as someone who was on the old site since its near inception:This site is twice the site the old one was, even at its prime.Insipid console warring, mod sanctioned troll threads, preferential treatment for forum “celebrities”, zero fact checking of rumors and leaks, and an awful mobile interface to boot.Good riddance.
hey evilore if you're reading this you're a fucking assholeanyway, kinda wish we were using discourse...
Is Jobbs still here? Congrats on the release.I remember almost backing it for the Wii U, happy it’s out.
Switching from that other place to ERA back in the day was one of the better decisions I made. I joined on my birthday, October 26th and it genuinely felt like one of the better birthday gifts in years.

STFU. Fact remains these studios pour lots of money and time into creating these movies. Marvel has spent 2 decades building what they have from nothing. They deserve the success they have not because of hacks but because they earned it. The Russo brothers, directs of Shang chi, Ms. Marvel, Loki, Wanda vision, Ragnarok, Iron man and i could go on aren’t some no skill hacks or hired hands. Maybe tarantino should focus on making things that the general populace would want to watch like the Star Trek he is supposedly attached to. I for one I’m not spending 20 bucks to watch a TV drama that are actually done better on streamers now. Your time is up.
There is a certain irony to an American who is obsessed with Brazil because they are in love with a video game character bitching about stealing cultures
Quote from: AstronaughtEI'm reading other stuff from the time and realized that it all went down just a few months after Amir0x was arrested? I knew there was a reason I had slacked off on visiting gaf, but for some reason I thought that had happened 2015 or 2016. You're probably confusing it with Amir0x getting demodded, which happened way before and for much more minor reasons. He was in an argument with someone and edited old posts to make his position look more consist or something like that. I forget the details, but it might have been that he said "look through my post history if you think I'm changing my stance" and then he edited his posts to match his current stance.I got a little confused by your post because I haven't thought about it in forever, but now that I'm trying to remember about it, I vaguely recollect there being some misinformation about why Amir0x was demodded floating around that essentially merged the two incidents into an idea that Amir0x was demodded as a response to the arrest. It might have been conflating it with a mod on Something Awful - whose name I don't know since I wasn't a member there - who did infamously get demodded when they found out he was a pedophile. Amir0x had long been removed from the mod team when he was arrested.Amir0x did come up during the migration coverage, I believe. There was some interview from somebody who spoke to the mods where they mentioned Evilore's statements about Amir0x were slow to come out and weren't totally honest which put more heat on the mod team.

Quote from: Pissy F Benny on November 05, 2022, 09:58:59 AMThere is a certain irony to an American who is obsessed with Brazil because they are in love with a video game character bitching about stealing cultures I think by now it's clear Nepenthe thinks about culture exclusively in racial terms. When black people are involved it's now her culture, regardless of nation or language. In the past she also claimed white people have no culture so logically Europe doesn't have any either. One might almost call this perspective... racist
I previously made a thread about this dog.Anyway, the building won an eviction in court in August, but another judge quashed it. It is now up for appeal in December, where other residents will be invited to testify for the first time. Obviously I will be doing that.But I highly doubt it's going to be successful, so I'm here seeking non-destructive options to, well, make the owner's life hell, to encourage her to voluntarily leave.Things I've done:1. Put up signs in hallways and elevators organizing other residents against the dog owner. I set up a meeting today in the building lounge. During the meeting, a building manager came up and said I was not allowed to post up those signs in the elevators and hallways. The meeting ended and I went down to the management office to notify them that my right to post signs in hallways and elevators is protected by law in this area, so they immediately retracted that bit. I'll be posting more signs going forward.2. Ensuring everyone knows relevant animal control numbers, concierge desk, etc, to report complaints of dog barking on every instance. All of those orgs are required to at minimum notify the owner of the complaint - so I want her phone to be blowing up all day every day about it.3. Confronting her in hallways whenever I see her. The first time this happened I EXPLODED. But when I saw her again a few weeks ago I was much more even-toned, and yet she exploded in response. Clearly I'm getting to her. She said "you've already caused me enough problems, don't talk to me."4. Knocking loudly on her door in early morning hours after she gets home from a night shift and is trying to sleep while I'm leaving for work. If I can't sleep, why should she? I'm cognizant that this could disrupt other neighbors too, though.
No. You don't drive a woman out of her home through targeted harassment regardless of how much her dog bothers you. This is full on sociopath shit.

If 2024 is just round two of Trump Vs. Biden, I'm voting 3rd party. Same if Harris replaces Biden.I'm also positive a lot of people will either do the same or stay at home, basically being a repeat of 2016.
Really? What the hell has Joe Biden done during the past 22 months that benefits us, & not benefit himself & his billionaire, corporate donors? Nothing.Biden or Harris have refused to use the "Bully Pulpit" method on both Joe Manchin & Krysten Sinema on getting progressive policies passed (like the Green New Deal, $15 an hour minimum wage, free college, etc.), he keeps funding more money towards the military, the police (& wanting to hire 100,000 more cops over the next 5 years to terrorize POC's/Minorities like myself & protesters),He keeps funding more money to Ukraine for his proxy war, & you have him, Nancy Pelosi, & everyone in Congress (including the #FraudSquad) funding money towards a nuclear war as well as trying to start World War III. By the way, the US had overthrown Ukraine's Government in which the war wouldn't have started without the US & NATO being a part of before 2014.And of course, constantly ignores us who put his ass in charge of the country for rich, wealthy oligarch donors & lobbyists.The Democratic party is just too corrupt. They pretend to care & give a shit about you when they need your votes, but when it comes time to put people over party & country, it's always excuses. I'm done with them. I've already gave in to voting for Biden once, & that's because of liberal voters kept badgering me on about "If you vote 3rd party, you're voting for Republicans or Trump." That won't be happening again.If anyone's getting my vote, it'll be either from Independents, 3rd parties, write-in candidates, candidates with no party affiliation or nonpartisan. That's it.
You need to get off of corporate, mainstream media & into Independent media, my friend.
