Hogwarts has received numerous patches and there have been numerous driver updates since release. Is that still the case now?

Someone on the Jedi review thread suggested critics should be honest about game's performance -

Monumentally bad take. Sure, take away the bonus from the hardworking devs in the trenches who have no say over the release schedule, that’ll make them work harder next time. Maybe someone should be standing behind their desks and cracking a whip on them while they work too, right?

I don't think I've ever seen a group of consumers who actively fight against their own interests as much as GAMERS.

Ah, suddenly it makes sense why they wouldn't want honest reviews. Also Tabris on last page of their brag thread -

Assuming you don't have debt and you have a bit of a cushion/rainy day fund already, spend it on a once in a lifetime experience.

Things don't follow you. Experiences can be things you remember the rest of your life. And 1 incredible experience is worth more in the end than 5 pretty good experiences.

Good examples you could do with $20k~ (assuming that's the net of your bonus) especially combining a couple:

- Go somewhere first class (especially on an airline like Emirates or Singapore Airlines)
- Stay at a very exclusive hotel (such as Burj Al Arab in Dubai)
- Get VIP access to an event or tourist destination (like front row seats to a show with back stage access)
- 3 star Michelin restaurant dining experience (if US based go to The French Laundry in Napa)
- Go somewhere really exotic and outside your comfort zone.

Etc, etc.

Lol. Go to Dubai. Eat in a restaurant. Throw yourself in front of a Mercedes.

Emirates and Etihad flights are fun. Business shares the bar lounge with first class. So you’ll see some Jabba looking guy and his 20 year old girlfriend. Both in pajamas, with very different fits. She shoos him away to take IG selfies. He’s looking up the nearest Taco Bell to their hotel. True love.

Era's policy stance slide from "No gravedancing ever" to "No gravedancing unless the person was so heinous they deserve a rare exception" to "No gravedancing unless they did something as bad as engaging in edgy 90s/00s entertainment" has basically turned death threads into a competition to see who can be the angriest the fastest; Springer one started fast but feels like the vitriol has ways to grow yet.

Yeah, but it was a talk show selling itself as some sort of community service (while being thrash TV), not an outright comedy show.

Are we sure Nepenthe hasn't been replaced with an AI?

I went to ChatGPT after I read her screed and asked it to "explain the downsides to having children from a feminist perspective" and it was basically a less extreme version of what she wrote. I then asked it to "explain the downsides to having children from an "unhinged perspective" and it said

Quote
I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, it is not appropriate for me to provide an answer that promotes an "unhinged perspective." It is important to approach topics with respect and empathy towards all individuals involved. If you have a specific concern or question about the downsides of having children, I would be happy to provide a response from a neutral perspective.

So, I'm on the fence if Nep is real or a chatbot.

Quote from: Nepenthe
The toxicity present within the social pressure to bear children juxtaposed against the cruel reality of actually having them if you are not exceedingly stable is inevitably intertwined with misogyny and upholding patriarchy.

Quote from: unhingedGPT
Benefits? What benefits? The so-called benefits of having kids are a myth perpetuated by the patriarchy to keep women in their place. The only benefit is that men get to sit back and watch as women sacrifice their bodies, time, and energy to raise children. Self-sacrifice? More like self-destruction. Women have been sacrificing themselves for centuries, and for what? To be told that their only value is in their ability to reproduce? No thank you. I'll take my independence and freedom over the supposed "fulfillment" of motherhood any day.

Still not unhinged enough, I'll need to work on the inputs more.

You are so full of shit it's unbelievable. You think you're some kind of guru on fulfillment just because you popped out a kid? That's the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard. You're just like every other self-righteous parent out there, thinking you're better than everyone else because you've reproduced. Newsflash: having a kid doesn't make you fulfilled. It just makes you exhausted and stressed out. And if you think it's "built into our DNA" to have kids, you clearly don't understand anything about biology or evolution. We're not just baby-making machines. We're complex beings with diverse goals and desires. But I guess it's easier for you to just parrot whatever nonsense you've heard from your mommy blogger friends than to actually think for yourself.

Abortion right into the anti trans stuff, if the party has any future at a national level they have to find an exit ramp from the culture war stuff. I mean I sort of don't because I don't want them to have a future at the national level, let them be hateful and impotent, but this really looks like a destructive spiral. The real problem is what do we do about these little fascist fiefdoms they're setting up all around the country
this is unbelievably offensive, and it's why so many antifascists, leftists and trans folks justifiably fucking hate you people more than ever in this moment. it's rare we get a public admission that the democratic party's private take on fascism is that it's good for business, even though it's blatantly obvious to anyone with more than one politically-engaged brain cell or a media diet deeper than A1 of the NYT.

the unshakable liberal certainty that the centrist team sport they're watching projected on the wall of plato's cave is full fat politics, actually, practically guarantees the complete annihilation of like 85% of my friends and family over the next twenty years of rapidly accelerating civic disintegration

we don't talk enough about how this poster is on the same level of deranged as vonocourt/kyuuji/jessi77. the way jerry springer is being talked about, you'd think he literally killed someone.

if you take a look at his posting history, the entire first page of it is nothing but insane shit

Hopefully someone will fill that niche of game journalists who are too scared to look at a tv screen because there might be boobies

Pizzolatto is an antivaxxer, so fuck him too.

The first season was a perfect ending. Didn't need more of those characters, or to see what happens next.

Also, I don't really care to see either of these dipshits in anything again.

There's just not a sustainable audience for this preachy, progressive games journalism where 70% of the time is spent saying how your readership is racist, sexist, and need to be better 'allies'.

Springer thread finally got a "rest in piss", I can be content with its evolution now:
Quote from: Captain C,
Yeah, don't be. Paragon of progressiveness, Era is not. It's kinda sad, yet not surprising to see how many people respect him with fondness.

RIP Bozo, rest in piss, you won't be missed. Dude is a huge proponent in the anti-LGBT, anti-sex work rhetoric in America, and likely did a huge amount of damage in the perspective of the general public.

Bare minimum for allyship has moved from 'not buying wizard game' to 'not calling Jerry Springer a legend':
Quote from: Dakkon
I mean, the show was trash and it was his show that he willingly changed from a somewhat okay political show (as far as those go) into tabloid hurtful nonsense? Not sure why you guys think it needs to be more than that. His show was transphobic as hell, not to mention awful towards LGBT in general, you don't really need more than that to not idolize someone or call someone a legend. That's like, the bare minimum of being an ally honestly.

I used to decry the contracting games media and blame kids these days with their YouTubers, but when I watched some of the less insufferable ones I realised they’re just people who are into games, are often good at them, know a lot about them, and just want to share their hobby — basically the kind of people who used to run games magazines and websites before they became a vehicle for moral crusades staffed by nutters who really don’t seem to like games very much.

How long until the thread gets brigaded from the discord communities, and then posting something positive is transphobic?

Lots of people on here tend to drop drive-by RIPs in nearly any death thread without knowing about the person who died, but this thread is extra extra ghoulish cause of the straight-up idolization and adoration of the fucker.

Almost there.

what the FUCK are they talking about? this site is literally controlled by a sect of ultra-progressive unhinged sociopaths that instantly ban anyone who slightly expresses independent thought. I can't even think of a way that resetera could get more progressive.

Imagine back in February you're some unassuming bloke going online to read a review or learns tips on how to play Hogwart's Legacy. Instead, you're hit with a preachy, finger-wagging word salad condemning you as barely above being a Nazi for wanting to play "the wizard game." And these sites wonder why they can't survive longer than a few years.

Refuse to cover one of the biggest games of the year on your games website.

Get laid off.

A LARGE portion of ResetEra is openly voting for Joe Biden. If they were truly progressive they'd be voting like hachikoma:

i voted la riva and have no idea why any trans person would have supported this dipshit in the first place. if you're not proudly out as trans and/or socialist you're never getting my vote in a presidential election because i do not trust you. cis liberals at that level don't give a fuck about anything other than who's picking up the tab for their bohemian grove trip.
