PC gayming used to mean something

Remember when PC exclusives used to be GPU busters? How PC ports would look a generation ahead of their console counterparts?

Nowadays PC gaymers are being forced to kneel to microstutter, 120c idle temps and $1000 mid range cards

it's over  :fbm

Sounds like the devs need to learn how to code instead of using their games as platforms to signal that virtue.

problems with modern PC gaming are fixed simply by refusing to be a day 1 consoomer :trumps

When you go after consumers of an entry in a globally beloved franchise that the original hateful creator had nothing to do with,
:hitler

It honestly doesn't matter what she said at this point.  She's been built up as this monster sponsoring literal trans genocide legislation that even those who don't look into what she said believe it just because of how often it's been repeated.  She's been extremely annoying even before becoming Queen TERF, so I don't even care to go to bat for her at this point.  It's much easier to use "separate the art from the artist that didn't actually work on the art" as a starting point because everyone has lost their goddamn minds and are allergic to verifying their claims.

That's a bizarre title from the BBC when child sexual exploitation and state disinformation are a lot more concerning than trolling but this IS BBC News who are going all in on hatred and platforming the tories so to them those are more features than bugs

:wut
I can't believe the BBC has backslid so far into fascism that they're allowing the Tories on. During the Battle did they allow the Tories on? Hell no, Churchill knew what to do with Nazis.

Again assuming and being totally wrong. Literally as wrong as you could be.

Proving my point perfectly in your ignorance though.

If it wasn’t so infuriating it’d be hilarious how people are so keen to take the moral high ground and punch down others - who often are doing more than them.

And, for the record, even if I WAS charging them, that would still be a safe home in a safe country which is much better than where they fled from.

Internet discourse is so fucking stupid in this day and age. All you’ve done here is make yourself look like a cunt and been wrong with every assumption along the way.

Out of curiosity (because I don’t want to make your mistake and assume) how many Ukrainian refugees have you helped house for free?

The youtuber notes that Yoshida was quick to acknowledge that nowadays the usage of the term has been far more positive - but that also that he feels that there are still a lot of developers in Japan that remember feeling that the terminology itself was overly restricting - and triggers bad feelings for those that were around when the term first was coined;

"We were going to create an RPG, but to be compartmentalized, they felt was discriminatory," Koji Fox notes, interpreting for Yoshida.

Dunno why the shitstorm. He understands that the term is not always negative, but that he would prefer that people don't use it (and I disagree, but whatever).

Era shits on JRPGs all the time while moaning that western RPGs have a ton of bugs.

I’m sorry but it’s not slick that the conversation around Chris’ decades (plural) long roasting of Jada, which continued in this special, keeps getting interrupted by people determined to make this thread exclusively about the time Will slapped Chris. No room for all the ignorant shit said in this special whether that be the misogyny, the corny ignorant trans and woke stuff, etc. Just focus on that time a year ago Chris was slapped.


I guess this is a pretty good lesson in not reacting with violence because that sorta thing tends to overshadow everything else.  You know, to the average normal person, hitting people seems to be a line that, once crossed, becomes the focus.  To Resetera, hitting people is just a normal thing you do, and it's just so strange that it takes the attention over everything else.

“I have a Ukrainian family living in one of my properties” is a bit of an odd rhetorical defense because you’re essentially using the fact that you didn’t refuse their money as proof of your political purity? “I sold a pack of cigarettes to a man who had a Ukrainian flag lapel pin so your accusations that I’m pro-Russian are laughable”

Why do y’all want them to try and make more black characters with no black people writing them? Y’all really think Final Fantasy XVI will be a worse game because it won’t have a caricature like Sazh walking around?

I don't get your perspective.

Isn't the point for us to want them to learn from their mistakes, by hiring more Black writers/devs/artists to make sure the inclusion of Black characters is both more prevalent AND properly in tone with the culture?

"Why do y'all want them to try and make more black characters with no black people writing them?" Uh bruh who the fuck is asking for that? Point them out.

Who are you calling "performative" anyway, a Black person like [USER=80]Neoxon[/USER] who has literally put in work and effort to inspire change in the industry with Black Character palm colors?
I mean, unless the characters are being properly researched/cast/written then yeah, I prefer developers/creators create/develop what they know. I don't see what's controversial about that.

I can point to myriad examples of games in this industry where black people were poorly represented in my opinion, and I'd rather they just give it up if they're not going to do it properly.

Sure, that's the goal. Can you show me Square-Enix hiring an influx of black writers/programmers/developers to help shape their games and write their narratives? If they're dedicated to doing us right, then I'd absolutely love more representation in their games. I'm not even saying they can't have black characters in their games without doing the aforementioned, but I won't be clamoring for it if that's the case.


I don't have to point to anyone asking for that specifically, because the game is being developed and written by Japanese people. Unless you can show me proof somewhere that Square-Enix hired some black folx to write/program some blackness in there, my question still stands.

Is Neoxon working on Final Fantasy XVI? Kinda weird for you to bring up a user I didn't even mention, especially when I was referring to the article the thread discussion is based on? Ironically enough, you bringing up a black person in the industry properly representing us makes my point more salient, I think. Square-Enix isn't doing that lol.

If they ever decide to make a Final Fantasy inspired by African mythology/culture, perhaps we'll revisit this conversation. Until then, I'm not losing sleep over them not including black folks in their Euro-centered fantasy lol

I don't get your perspective.

Isn't the point for us to want them to learn from their mistakes, by hiring more Black writers/devs/artists to make sure the inclusion of Black characters is both more prevalent AND properly in tone with the culture?

"Why do y'all want them to try and make more black characters with no black people writing them?" Uh bruh who the fuck is asking for that? Point them out.

Who are you calling "performative" anyway, a Black person like [USER=80]Neoxon[/USER] who has literally put in work and effort to inspire change in the industry with Black Character palm colors?
I mean, unless the characters are being properly researched/cast/written then yeah, I prefer developers/creators create/develop what they know. I don't see what's controversial about that.

I can point to myriad examples of games in this industry where black people were poorly represented in my opinion, and I'd rather they just give it up if they're not going to do it properly.

Sure, that's the goal. Can you show me Square-Enix hiring an influx of black writers/programmers/developers to help shape their games and write their narratives? If they're dedicated to doing us right, then I'd absolutely love more representation in their games. I'm not even saying they can't have black characters in their games without doing the aforementioned, but I won't be clamoring for it if that's the case.


I don't have to point to anyone asking for that specifically, because the game is being developed and written by Japanese people. Unless you can show me proof somewhere that Square-Enix hired some black folx to write/program some blackness in there, my question still stands.

Is Neoxon working on Final Fantasy XVI? Kinda weird for you to bring up a user I didn't even mention, especially when I was referring to the article the thread discussion is based on? Ironically enough, you bringing up a black person in the industry properly representing us makes my point more salient, I think. Square-Enix isn't doing that lol.

If they ever decide to make a Final Fantasy inspired by African mythology/culture, perhaps we'll revisit this conversation. Until then, I'm not losing sleep over them not including black folks in their Euro-centered fantasy lol

I’m sorry but it’s not slick that the conversation around Chris’ decades (plural) long roasting of Jada, which continued in this special, keeps getting interrupted by people determined to make this thread exclusively about the time Will slapped Chris. No room for all the ignorant shit said in this special whether that be the misogyny, the corny ignorant trans and woke stuff, etc. Just focus on that time a year ago Chris was slapped.


I guess this is a pretty good lesson in not reacting with violence because that sorta thing tends to overshadow everything else.  You know, to the average normal person, hitting people seems to be a line that, once crossed, becomes the focus.  To Resetera, hitting people is just a normal thing you do, and it's just so strange that it takes the attention over everything else.
Just a little chaos my friend. Who hasn't indulged in a little bit of chaos live on the stage at the Oscars?

Mod freaking out and babbling over a BASED black user who doesn't care that FF16 doesn't have any black people in it. How long until they imply he is a coon or a house distinguished black fellow (or just gets perma'd)?

This seems so weirdly performative.

This company just released a game with a full-on black protagonist and the majority of this board “lolz it was written by white people”d it to death and the studio got shut down lmao

I think is way more difficult for a Japanese company focused in JRPGs to do this. Not impossible, mind you, but very few video game companies seem capable of this kind of feedback and offering this kind of job opportunities. For all its faults, I think Capcom fighting game division is one of the few able to do this and you guys still bitch about the designs if a random plush is lighter than the main model.

Still, is so bizarre to me the idea that only black people can write black characters while BCT used to shit on black people outside of the US if they have different opinions than them.

They still do this. They straight up accuse people of not being black when they disagree with them.

Meanwhile they had that clown Enzo or whatever who pretended to be black for years

I like the framing that Square Enix should just hire a bunch of Black people so they can solely write Black characters as if they're not going to just go "nah, we're good" because of the inevitable attacks on the "tokens" if they ever try to use them to defend themselves from irrelevant criticism. Or the inevitable attacks on how they aren't creating "authentic enough" Black characters. Or the inevitable attacks on how the representation is problematic in some way and shouldn't count or worse should have never been in the game at all.

There's no shortage of projects to help fund, Era.  Lots of good shit here.  Instead of shitting on game devs all day, put your money where your mouth is and do some uplifting.

The sooner we or in this case you and Chris stop caring so much about what white folks think, the better.
I mean is a very simplified way of saying something complicated (ie what comedians do)

Black people weren't even allowed at the Oscars not that long ago (not nominated/winning). To go up and physicaly assault on a national stage where eyes does matter is out of turn, to a comedian (jester) of all people, it reinforces all these stereotype they have about us.

I dont give a shit he slapped him. Do it off stage

But that a discussion for another thread

That's cool. As a black man, I get that. What I don't get is that same person, who believes in that, allowed two white comedians to make racist ass jokes about black stereotypes and saying the N word right in front of his face without him doing a damn thing about it. Jerry Seinfeld, a white man, had to be the one to speak up about it.
Yet they're fine with B-Dubs using it in the past :curious
