But seriously, slayven, royalan and morrigan Stark all being moderators is just  :doge

Like it guarantees that the place will devolve into douchebaggery and enforced opinions. It’s only a matter of time before either of those 3 let it go to their head. None of them know how to discuss things without getting severely emotionally involved, to say the least. Especially morrigan.

Pretty bold move by the mod team (Evilore) to remind people of that part of the ToS.

Why? Reset Era basically has the same exact paragraph:

Okay need to be real here for a second.

Malka has to be completely insane to take himself down for a god damn gaming website. No amount of ad money is worth this deep level of character assassination that will inevitably fuck up your life.  (at this point, what money left is there to salvage at this point?)

Spoiler Tyler, GAF is dead. The safe haven where progressive snowflakes dance around rainbows and sing kumbaya is no more.

Go to your forum, release a statement that you fucked up and will work to become a better person, then demonstrate that by selling off the website.

......it's kind of pathetic and sad that you are actually this weak. No wonder why you're lonely    :doge :trigger :doge

I think it’s cute how they pretty much just took everything from GAF including that stupid content policy. I don’t think they actually thought about any of this. It’s like people who trace a drawing and learn from it vs people who trace a drawing and never even think about how the original artist did it.

That’s my tortured metaphor for the day.

recettear has been both dull and intriguing for the same reason so far: people are trying to make it work.

no-one gave a toss if GAF "worked", it was trench warfare. volley after volley of shellfire with whoever had the biggest guns and deepest trenches coming out on top in an utterly pyrrhic victory which shed the partisans of any humanity. you can blame the mod policy or whatever but the main driving force of its hysterical awfulness was that victory in whatever shitfight you were involved in should come at any cost.

with this new place, everyone seems invested in trying to build a semi-functional micro society and lo and behold their militant posturing on everything from bathroom politics to multi-platform pixel counts has been massively toned down. the greater cause has supplanted whatever secondary cause that previously erupted into all out war on a minute by minute basis.

the real test will be when the forum's existence is taken for granted, when it's no longer a cause that needs protecting and the good will tank is empty. will the standards of empathy and moderation which ensure its early survival remain intrinsic to the board itself, or will the modern disease of hyper polarity reinfect the patient following a full body transplant?

until then at least, this thread will be feeding on scraps. maybe a good time to explore the rest of the forum.

Yeah I'm reading the "RedbookMagazine believes your child shouldn't dress as Moana for Halloween if they aren't Polynesian" and it seems less vitriolic than late GAF, esp. considering some of the posters.

Even the moderation is less harsh.

I chalk that up to the mods being new, and less confidence is slapping out bans, plus the "good will/make things work" aspect.   Still it's encouraging.

GAF was never left-wing, it was actually quite conservative in most respects. Hillary was a right wing candidate, being left of Trump doesn't change that fact.

Take a look in any thread where users would actually have their lives impacted to help the poor and disenfranchised, nothing but "fuck them got mine" attitudes. I never felt that GAF was truly liberal.

Wish you had an avatar so I could recognize you. :) I know at least one of the new mods openly hated me in GAF for being polemic against shills like himself. So who knows whether I could even survive there, lol. Apart from being somewhat centre-left nowadays, with my "conservative" views regarding mostly issues of political correctness.

On the front page of GAF gaming, there are 40 threads, and the last post on the 40th thread is 43 minutes old.

On the front page of Reset gaming, there are 53 threads, and the last post on the 53rd thread is only 11 minutes old. (The 40th thread on Reset Gaming is only 6 minutes old).  :heh

Time to blow those caches of dank Killzone 2 gifs.

Any of you Sony fans help me understand.

Why did you cling to such a mediocre game series? I mean at least it isn't Haze but Jesus have some standards.

All(95%) Sony 1st party games are trash who are only made to appeal to MUH ART people and feature "deep" "cinematic" "mature" themes but are pretentious as fuck.

Unsharted? generic TPS walking simulator filled with QTE
The Worst of Us? generic TPS walking simulator filled with "mature" themes
nuDad of War? generic 3rd person thing with more focus on story than hack n slash (Sony said this themselves, look it up)
Horizon Zero Originality? A mix of Far Cry and nuTomb Raider with worst aspects of both. but it's GoTY because it's progressive


This is why I am a PC+Nintendo masterrace.

 :rofl :rofl

i love the gaf sony elites. "walking simulator" is about every single game Sony puts out now. I barely consider them games. I'd love nothing more than Sony to get what it deserves just like the Gaf did.

Sony Western First Party Hasnt been that good in years even though Last of Us worked for what it was.

Crash Team Racing is indeed the best kart racing game, pretenders need not apply.

I think it’s cute how they pretty much just took everything from GAF including that stupid content policy. I don’t think they actually thought about any of this. It’s like people who trace a drawing and learn from it vs people who trace a drawing and never even think about how the original artist did it.

That’s my tortured metaphor for the day.

Piggy backing off this, the most  :cmonson aspect of GAF Zero to me is that, when given the chance for a new website with new rules, new culture and a different way of running things, both the site creators proceeded to copy almost everything about the old website from its TOS, its forum layout and the naming schemes for stuff (OTs, community threads, the OT OT, _____GAF to refer to communities). Not a single thought went into trying to make something different that actually stands out which, if vanilla GAF ever props itself up again, are things the site will actually need to differentiate itself.

I'll just post here if I feel the need to rip on a game without getting told that I'm being too mean to video games.  :idont

bruh, I didn't have an own Sony console until like 5 years ago. Played hundreds of hours of MK before even touching Crash Racing. Sorry man, it's true.  :yeshrug  Also GAF was a shelter for unmoderated completely crazy Nintendo shills in the last couple of years more than anything.

GAF was never liberal so much as it was corporatist.

Like corporations, they both care more about how social issues would impact how others perceive them. They both say the right things, occasionally do the minimum required to seem like they care (be it announcing diversity policies or posting and moaning about usually arbitrary injustices on a message board). When it came to issues that would actually impact people's lives, like financial issues, neither give a fuck. In GAF's case (and now ResetERA), they simply didn't give a flying fuck. In a (large) corporation's case, they would actively attempt to stop those any changes that would positively impact the rest of society, as it means less for them.

Which is all a roundabout way of saying fuck social issues, focus on economic issues first and foremost and use that upward momentum that increased economic stability provides to improve the lives of minority groups.

Which is an ever rounder-abouter way of saying fuck Hillary Clinton, Bernie would have won against Trump and brought more positive change in 4 years than the Clintons would have in 16, and Jack is still in deep denial about this.

Well, one improvement is that the front page isn't littered with circle jerking Nintendo OT topics.  I mean, even the Media Create thread degenerated into a Nintendo circle jerk topic.  It was literally the same posters every making exactly the same posts praising Nintendo.

But seriously, slayven, royalan and morrigan Stark all being moderators is just  :doge

Like it guarantees that the place will devolve into douchebaggery and enforced opinions. It’s only a matter of time before either of those 3 let it go to their head. None of them know how to discuss things without getting severely emotionally involved, to say the least. Especially morrigan.

My bet is on Morrigan.

At least they are not admins.

She’ll ban anyone who admits to having a dick in the first false accusation rape thread.

If you think Neogaf wasn't liberal or left you are in serious denial.

They had a lot of (faux-) left extremists but I don't know about actual left people. I can't say I saw much "progressive" in whining about videogame character designs all day, harrassing people over it and doing tinfoil-hatted purity tests on everyone who understood how nonsensical these "endeavors" were.

Bernie supporters being demonized on that site says it all imo.

Funny to see you here, SpielerEns. Going to REEra or sticking around here?

Wish you had an avatar so I could recognize you. :) I know at least one of the new mods openly hated me in GAF for being polemic against shills like himself. So who knows whether I could even survive there, lol. Apart from being somewhat centre-left nowadays, with my "conservative" views regarding mostly issues of political correctness.

Nah, my avatar here won't be same as GAF or Resetera, gotta maintain my cover as a triple agent.

I was on the Nintendo Discord and yea, you are definitely not liked  :D

Being a Nintard and knowing that GAF was full of Sonyponies never bothered me and it was funny seeing them squirm looking at the success of the Switch. I will agree with you that lately, Nintendo shilling was growing. In fact, one of the shill is an admin at RE.

Edit: Holy fuck I can't into quotes here  :-\

Mostly in for Sony games from Japan Studio or more obscure titles, newer Naughty Dog titles and David Cage games make me cringe. PS1/2 are classic because of their 3rd party offerings, not 1st party. Crash has always been good though (the Kart game is better than Mario even).

No the kart game isn't better than Mario Kart  :ufup

And crash was always shit. First person I ever heard say otherwise uttered that nonsense 2016. Can't have Sony fans go messing up history and create time paradoxes.

Closest kart game to Mario Kart was Sega all-star racing transformed but MK8D beats it.

Mechanically Crash Team Racing is still better than even MK8. :patel
This. This right there is why neogaf was shit. Forget the politics, the showering and he who shall not be shamed. This is why!

Sony fans  :picard

Nah, Nintendo fans were far worse than Sony fans on GAF.  Glad most of them seem to have migrated to ResetERA.

Right and neogaf are left with all the Sony fans and see how that turned out?

 :ryker

Well, one improvement is that the front page isn't littered with circle jerking Nintendo OT topics.  I mean, even the Media Create thread degenerated into a Nintendo circle jerk topic.  It was literally the same posters every making exactly the same posts praising Nintendo.

I'm happy you enjoy neogaf.

It was also full of people totally immune to the bystander effect with 12 inch dicks and the perfect logical solutions to everything who wondered whether eating alone was weird

at the risk of sounding like rinsfurry, I do think neogaf wasn't as ~liberal~ as they thought (bad choice of words) there was a lot of posturing and what felt like fake opinions to try seem "woke" or whatever.

They were more about their woke-assness identity politics than being liberal.

GAF was never liberal so much as it was corporatist.

Like corporations, they both care more about how social issues would impact how others perceive them. They both say the right things, occasionally do the minimum required to seem like they care (be it announcing diversity policies or posting and moaning about usually arbitrary injustices on a message board). When it came to issues that would actually impact people's lives, like financial issues, neither give a fuck. In GAF's case (and now ResetERA), they simply didn't give a flying fuck. In a (large) corporation's case, they would actively attempt to stop those any changes that would positively impact the rest of society, as it means less for them.

Which is all a roundabout way of saying fuck social issues, focus on economic issues first and foremost and use that upward momentum that increased economic stability provides to improve the lives of minority groups.

Which is an ever rounder-abouter way of saying fuck Hillary Clinton, Bernie would have won against Trump and brought more positive change in 4 years than the Clintons would have in 16, and Jack is still in deep denial about this.

Why not both.jpeg

Because race divides people.  You cannot build a block through divsion, or at least I don’t know how to do that.  Do you?

Races divides people because the rich like it that way.

Brake them to break the cycle.

Real talk, Nintendo stans on GAF were always the extreme vocal minority and on a constant jealousy streak when it came to other partd of the site. Perfectly functioning threads for other platforms would sometimes get broken up or merged together because they would run up to complain to mods abouy why Nintendo versions of those topics couldn't exist. The merger of the monthly Vita threads and the weekly PSN update threads that Kassatsu ran, and the merger's eventially closing, were victims of this.

The real answer, of course, is that when they were made, no one posted in them. I lost track of how many times they tried to prop up General/Community threads for Nintendo franchises or general news topics on stuff like Wii / Wii U digital downloads and all of them were deserted within the month or were utterly anemic for long periods of time. But of course, since they couldn't have it,  no one was allowed to.

(Don't even get me started on when Ninthings started to make individual OTs for every new VC release due to dearth on new releases on their systems, or when certain posters thought making an individual thread for every single new Hyrule Warriors trailer were good ideas).

Please don't insult other users. Even mods

So they don't consider mods as "other users"? Good to know there's a social hierarchy as well.

I think the point is they weren’t pushing a leftist economic agenda so much as playing the identity politics game.  That’s where the banning and dogpiling came from at least.

They constantly shit on Bernie Sanders for being "too focused on economic inequality."

ResetEra just opened public registration and the site is getting crushed (but still loads, albeit slowly).

Hey NeoGAF, ur ded.  :success

They messed up the email verification. I tried a .edu and xfinity email and both were denied.

Fixed now.

Take it from the guy who had more PoliGAF posts than everyone else on this page combined: we talked about left-wing economics all the time. All the damn time!

Where do people get the idea that we didn't?

Poligaf was in insular little bubble. Discussion of economic policy never spread out to the wider forum at all. Nobody cared to discuss it, unless it was "fuck this Republican tax plan" or something to that extent.
