Lore finally got some participation in his manifesto thread, complete with artwork.

This thread sums up why Tyler has such a fanbase across multiple websites and forums.
His long-form posting in the last month has been interesting and insightful.

Reading his exploits across Europe and around the world were thrilling and inspiring.
I'm an amateur artist and did some artwork based on his adventures.
I kinda wish we could fund another trip or something just so we could hear about it.

Tyler is an all-time great internet user

http://archive.is/FEjIY for when it gets deleted.

Way, way too much dumb rambling and revisionist history going on there.  When will he stop just making long-winded posts about himself? 

Gaming-Age was just a little fan site covering the typical news and reviews, with a side forum of some note, but those years were all crucial to the trajectories for everyone involved. Gaming-Age co-founder Sam Kennedy went on to start 1up, Patrick Klepek is over at Vice News/Waypoint these days instead of sneaking his way into E3 to guerrilla cover it as a minor, and lots of other folks on that original G-A staff ended up with notable roles to play across the Video Games space.

Me, too, I suppose, though through completely different avenues: the little forum attached to that thing.

No, not you too, Thug 1.  You had nothing to do with that website.  Zero.  Zip.  Nada.  You're just a dude who got control of someone else's forum and you played no part in its popularity.

GAF was distinct in tone, cultivated with intent by leadership being there to care about it and steer it, with all the rules and policies and bans and all that operating as an extension of what you try to do from the top down for the sake of the end result:

The vibe, which is what will either bring folks flooding to the registration gates to the point where you have to implement a several month waiting list and all sorts of other hoops to jump through to keep everything manageable, or just leave you with shuttered doors eventually, as most have already.

  GAF was popular because it was a super-busy forum with responses and gaming news stuff being posted, 24 hours a day, with an insane frequency that no other forum (that I can think of) had back then.  Things have changed and that was no longer the case for years already, and that this point saying that is just insane.  The traffic is gone- everybody went to Resetera. 

Either way, I've always thought of it as something vaguely like running a bar or social club.

The kind where you grab women's asses to "show power" or get into the shower with them without asking?

There's just too much shit there to bother responding to and he keeps saying the same things over and over again anyway.  It's just:


It's over, dude.  You fucked up and that supposed "#metoo" thing was just the fuse being lighted for the gigantic powder keg that had been waiting to explode for years.

Looks like the checks from Sony and Quantum Dream cleared.

https://www.resetera.com/posts/4746032/

how many counts of harassment though?

Id prefer statistics like:

-The amount of sexual assault allegations during the development
-how many lawsuits during the development
-how much government funding was lost

Knock it off. If you want to have a thread discussing the allegations against Quantum Dreams and David Cage, then use one of the existing threads or start another one. This isn't a wholesale ban of discussing these allegations in Detroit threads, but it is a ban against driving into a thread, taking a potshot at the game and driving on out. For example, if you can tie the allegations into an on-topic (for that thread) discussion of Detroit's themes, then by all means go for it.

But don't do this.

[HaughtyFrank]

I'm glad that BP is actually a decent movie. If it wasn't there'd be another ghostbusters shitshow.

[stufte]

I really liked BP. It's pretty pathetic though to hold this movie up as some sort of historic masterpiece... nerds, man.

RLM said they liked the BP and it was the best Marvel movie in a long time. How can anyone be mad at them? The worst they said about it was CGI looked dodgy (which it very much did even in trailers) and that they're both tired of comic book movies, which they've been saying since like...Iron Man 3.

[stufte]

Also Kingdom Come is a really good game and ERA is full of fucking idiots. Fuck identity politics and fuck the journalists who won't cover this game because of it.

I think it looks pretty bad but I can't handle games with clunky combat.

Love the detail of the world, the different approaches to missions and all that, but will probably never play the game.

It's as buggy as a bethesda open world game and the combat is as clunky (see:realistic?) as Chivalry. Realism is really what it strives for and it doesn't let up (you have to learn to fucking read). I'm a huge fan of that kind of thing.

[Dennis]

I strongly suspect that a lot of the people claiming outrage over Kingdome Come are just trolling.

"Lets see how far we can push this bizarre hysteria before getting called on it. Oh we can just keep going forever trollolollo"

We are way beyond the looking glass here in terms of being offended at the dumbest, smallest shit.

And the way some in the games media is handling this just makes me roll my eyes and want to disassociate from this apparently childish hobby.

Well when it's receiving universal praise and the best you can muster is "it's fine" I'm sure there's going to be lots of people mad at you. These people don't understand that RLM thinks everything is shit, so an "it's fine" rating is actually saying a lot.

This is why I'm avoiding it. I prefer semi-stylized sword fighting that requires thought. Not circling around a dude and poking back & forth.

[Averon]

ERA was already primed to pounce on RLM due to their other "infractions" that ERA believes reveal them to be secret alt-right shitlords, or at least out of touch white privileged males than isn't "woke." So anything less than outright praise of BP from RLM would get ERA hot and bothered. This has been an ongoing thing with RLM even since Ghostbusters.

It is not unlike how they now view South Park: something they previously enjoyed but now cannot enjoy any longer because of something something "problematic."

Giddy like 5 year olds at new games, but dont write about companies fucking over consumers, but will write about a high and mighty attitude once they see something we are supposed to care about.

[StealthFan]

Man, Hitman 2's trailer was absolutely fantastic.

This game aged like straight fucking milk but goddamn did it own back in 2002. I got it for my 15th birthday and played the absolute shit out of it. Those Japan levels were always garbage tho.

If it compares to CHivalry then I won't be into it. Or Mount & Blade. Do not dig those styles.

[MMaRsu]

Looking at videos from Chivalry and Mount & Blade the combat in KCD is nothing like that. Instead its methodical, systems heavy and you get better because you as a player get better not because your stats go up.

Chivalry and mounnt and blade just looks like circling your opponent and spamming swing sword button :p

If an enemy wants to strike you you have to move your sword in that direction to block etc.

Its way more like something like For Honor or Absolver where you have different stances etc.

Not really, but the Ghostbusters shit was name dropped in the OT while discussing Black Panther with a fanboy.

At this point ERA is just waiting to be proven right that RLM are alt-right. A bunch of middle aged, cynical white dudes having fun talking about movies on Youtube and not caring about being woke? Prime candidate for shitlordery in ERA's minds.

[Spieler1]

At least BP iseems to be okay.

I didn't follow that trainwreck Ghostbusters for the longest time. What I knew however is that its pathetic producers tried to downplay any kind of negative feedback before release with "y'all sexist". So RLM claiming that Sony added fuel to the fire wasn't exactly far reaching, but the most logical analysis. Unless you're a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow, because then it apparently meant that they were dog whistling to neonazis.

I really liked BP. It's pretty pathetic though to hold this movie up as some sort of historic masterpiece... nerds, man.

BP is a historical milestone if you are a spineless nerd who is too pathetic to admit that electronic toys and internet shit posting is nothing more than a waste of time. So you need to pretend that going to the theater sucking Disney cock is you being real progressive for a change. That's much easier than going outside to do something actual progressive or talking to people outside the internet. And you don't even have to feel like a nerd anymore!

RLM said they liked the BP and it was the best Marvel movie in a long time. How can anyone be mad at them? The worst they said about it was CGI looked dodgy (which it very much did even in trailers) and that they're both tired of comic book movies, which they've been saying since like...Iron Man 3.

It's modern GAF. They probably have blacklist of people that once "dog whistled" and no one's never going to get off of it.

Honestly Dennis, why on Earth do you still post there? It's far worse than GAF ever was

[Boredfrom]

That was the nasty thing about Ghostbusters 2016, they truly downplayed early criticism. It was pretty shitty as it was obvious that it was going to Bomb regardless but somehow the film become a potential milestone for social progress.

[HardcoreRetro]

Chivalry and mounnt and blade just looks like circling your opponent and spamming swing sword button :p

Chivalry in the 1v1 fights used to be fairly tactical. To block swings you gotta point in the direction the sword is coming from and then block with the right timing. Then you got the feint system where you try to goad the other player into attacking you.

Basically only bad players would do the above. I played the weak and fast class and you'd end up getting messages by people playing as the heavy "spam attack" character calling you a cheater cause you take them down with mosquito bites.

(Each class also had it's own special move. The weak and fast one I played as had a fast dodge by pressing the movement button twice in quick succession.)

Youtube critics both in gaming and movies are the only ones that I can trust anymore. The delusional and out of touch fucks on the vast majority of media are not to be taken seriously for a multitude of reasons.

I might not agree too often with RLM's reviews but at least I trust that they'll offer their honest opinion.

Kind of confused but not surprised at there being multiple people on RE that believe that racism in the UK is the fault of Donald Trump.

Not to mention Trump isn't racist, that's nonsense and completely misses the point.

He just hates everybody that's not named Trump, he treats everyone like shit equally. It doesn't matter if you're black or white.
He even cheated his family out of their inheritance, paid homeless to pee in buildings to scare away poor tenants and tried to make his friends cheat on their wives while they were listening in on speaker phone.
How fucked up must you be to do all that. That isn't racism, that's pure hatred and disgust for other human beings.

Yet 60 million or so Americans voted for a sadistic lunatic.
