When the kids are out of the house I will totally build an elaborate flight sim setup though.

as a grown ass father your entire remit should be flight sims, strategy games and various bits of useless home help software that you found on the shovelware tree at wallmart which include their own dialer.

I already play Football Manager and Paradox grand strategy games. So, I feel I got a head start towards spending 500 bucks on Train Simulator DLC.

Really putting himself on the line here, I would imagine that there will be no information because of NDA's that have been signed, duh.

Likely:
5600XT (launches this month), ZEN 3 (to kneecap Intel, but they might keep this under wraps a bit longer), RX 5000 series enthusiast card (might wait for E3 or closer to Cyberpunk release), 4th Gen Mobile Zen.

The only PS5/XBOSEX related things could be Hardware Ray Tracing, a tech demo and/or a chart with a road map.
AMD could also repeat: "We're the vendor for this new Xbox, very excited!" to get their stocks up in case those tech investors missed the VGA's (highly likely).

User banned (6 months): misogyny, platform warring

hopefully Ori one was just a one off. Xbox allowing their games to other platforms is equal to being a "strawberry " in the hood, fam. Dudes just come about to get a piece of ass and jet. It ain't about nothing - just a quick dip cause they know they can and they know she will. Xbox will be the "strawberry" of the gaming industry if they keep putting their games on competing platforms. They can't possibly want that kind of stigma after all the shit they've been through this gen about their 1st party IP.

Plus, they just bought a bunch of studios. That's like a strawberry changing her life, goes back to school, finds a stable job, cleans herself up, and still let's the dudes drop by to break her off proper and bounce. Shit ain't cool, my guy...

I know the metaphor is kinda extreme but thats how Microsoft appears to me by allowing their Ip's to go on competing platforms. Can't be giving up the goods because you don't know when to say, no. Fuck all that, bruv..

No offense but fuck Switch and PlayStation. They got their own games, devs etc.. Use em!

User banned (2 weeks): Hostility and inflammatory accusation against another poster + numerous previous infractions for hostility and personal attacks.

I'm sure they could've come up with something as interesting, if not moreso. There are other lessons Luke could be used to teach, as well. Like I said before, I actually love that he's insecure and overwhelmed - this is the guy that blew up the Death Star and faced down the Emperor himself and he's sitting there saying he can't be who Rey needs him to be.

Honestly if you got rid of the self-pity, the stupid "I ignited my lightsaber over my sleeping nephew" thing, the whole "the Jedi Order needs to die with me" nonsense and the way he clearly doesn't seem to care about the First Order, or what Ben has become, or what happened to Han...

If you got rid of all of that and just gave us a Luke Skywalker who is so overwhelmed by his own reputation and legend that he's terrified he can't live up to it any more, he'd be perfect. Especially if, out of nowhere, along comes a Jedi wannabe that thinks he's just going to fix everything, provide her with all the answers she's looking for and save the galaxy again before tea time.

Regardless, you say Luke spent the last thirty years setting up a Jedi Order and helping people but we know he didn't. He spent most of it searching out relics Palpatine had stolen or the the Jedi had lost then only established his own Jedi Order shortly before Ben destroyed it. It's why, in thirty years, he only trained a dozen people and we don't even know if they ever finished their training before they all died.

Your stance on mental health issues and your complete, utter ignorance of every single person who brings it up is harrowing.

I genuinely hope you never try to give a peptalk to any depressed friend who ever decides to open up to you, or that you at least manage to understand them better than your refusal to understand this fictional character who this movie more than clearly paints at depressed, to the point of suicidal tendencies.

Like, yeesh, every time I read the way you talk about Luke's depression it actually makes me angry. It's upsetting that people with a stance on mental health and depression such as yours are even allowed to post on era.

jfc you'd think the guy in their dumb circle who had the only good reaction last time would prioritize "I don't want my words to hurt people" over "people are making up reasons to be any at my friend".

Getting tired of this clique of influential personalities so up their own ass they don’t notice they repeatedly talk down to the community they claim to be allies toward while their fan base continuously mimics that behaviour.

What makes this especially egregious in this case is that this was Hbomb picking a fight with someone with only 1000 followers and then promptly making the most disingenuous takes on what they were saying and making it clear he thinks no big creator needs to worry about the power disparity involved in something like this, in fact he has/had a tweet explicitly hand waving Contra doing so by finger pointing people in her video

Honestly the parallels between this whole disaster and the shit we see from mainstream YouTubers when someone like PewDiePie slips up and does a racism is as scary as it is depressing.

I like the middle guy, SoZetaSlow, constantly talking about how inappropriate it is for someone to respond to someone else's public Twitter posts (even ones that @ the person) if the latter has too few followers below some arbitrary threshold.

[benjipwns]

The funniest part of the narrative of her being like the Nazi whisperer or something is now that its brought up in discussion for this video, it directly contradicts her claiming she isn't persuasive in the video. So which is it? Is she the chosen one meant to convert all of the Nazis to the left or is she not persuasive? How her stans can claim both are true simultaneously astounds me

GOT EM

[Boredfrom]

It honestly makes their leftism feel somewhat performative, socially anyway, when they're so insulated and unwilling to call each other out.

 

And then the smaller ones who aren't part of the clique don't feel like they can weigh in without risking getting dogpiled.

Even though barely any of them are anarchists, let alone on Kropotkin's level. Contrapoints has said she isn't even a communist, for example, let alone an anarchist. Same with a whole bunch of the rest. I'm also pretty sure that the "dirtbag left" (most associated with Chapo Trap House) is not the same group as Breadtube.

Stupid fucking thing to post on Twitter but ERA DOESN'T SCREEN CAP STUPID THINGS PEOPLE SAY TO MOCK THEM. THEY'RE ABOVE THAT!!

[benjipwns]

Most of Breadtube I thought started as "anti-alt-right" types, a bunch of them came out of that whole Atheist/Skeptic movement that had a few years reign. I think this was common for the "alt-right" too, but one group went right and the other left, even though their main thing was to just fight culture wars more than anything.

The "dirtbag left" are "actual" leftists (aka socdem, but some communists, tankies, etc.) who just don't agree with the PC/SJW culture war crap. (aka BOTHSIDERS as they'd make fun of Jordan Peterson and people like incelsiorlef)

[shosta]

When you say breadtube, is this like, "bread and roses" dsa shlock, or something different? Is there a quintessence I can reference?

They're basically the same as ResetERA.com's "left" prolific posters who'd never touch the Socialism OT from sphagnum. Oh sure, end capitalism, but do it by voting straight ticket Democrat. Meanwhile the important issues are fighting over Disney movies and crying about the alt-right taking over every platform they use constantly.

[shosta]

Ok I should have googled first, it's a kropotkin reference. The top three listed breadtubers are contrapoints, hbomberguy, and lindsayellis. Out of those names only contrapoints makes political content. The most political thing that I've seen hbomberguy do is tackle climate change and soyboy stuff... In general it's mostly culture war content. Lindsay Ellis only does film reviews. So as benji points out it seems like this is mostly just a reaction to the anti-SJW culturekampf that has infested YouTube.

PhilosophyTube* and Shaun are like two others people have tried to make me watch.

Their self-descriptions:

BreadTube is a place for the new wave of creators, journalists and artists making high-quality content that goes against the prevailing winds of the internet. Politics, History, Economics, Science, Media Analysis, Free Speech, Film Criticism, Philosophy, Anarchism - as long as it is thoughtful and well researched, it is welcome here. Why Bread? [Read the bread book] (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-kropotkin-the-conquest-of-bread)

BreadTube or LeftTube is a loose community of leftist YouTubers. "BreadTube" references anarchist writer Pyotr Kropotkin's The Conquest of BreadWikipedia's W.svg, aka the "Bread Book".[1]

BreadTube may be considered a response to the overwhelming presence of right-wing, anti-SJW and conspiratorial YouTubers that move young people through the "alt-right pipeline".[2] Their goal is not only to de-radicalize/draw young people away from those reactionary places, but also to educate progressives that moved further left

[benjipwns]

look at this fucking thing (he shared it himself btw, so yes I am doxxing)

Stock would, I'm sure, tell you that I am a man attempting to take a space in public philosophy from a woman, so if you would like to make the public aware of these views without exposing them to the ignorant frameworks Stock uses to persuade, might I suggest as an alternative speaker Doctor Talia Bettcher of the University of Los Angeles, who herself has engaged with Stock's work brilliantly before. Stock would also say that she is not personally hateful towards trans and nonbinary people and that she makes a practice of using preferred pronouns and names when teaching, though as Bettcher has shown Stock's consistent metaphysical scepticism in the face of trans people's existence qua trans people (for instance, referring to trans women as "male bodied") offers an intellectual-sounding justification for doubting trans people when they tell us what gender they are, and this doubt is all too easily translatable into hostility, discriminatory laws, and violence.

The Buck Angel whitewashing section with the you belong on kiwifarms if you look into him outing Lana Wachowski for profit

Or where it turns out she name searched herself on on an alt account, or signed out, or had someone else name search her for her, so she could post barely concealed screenshots of tweets from someone who blocked her years ago to lump that person in with her harassers to her millions of viewers?

goddammit just have Warren be your VP

That would be the worst answer to this problem.

why

Because if the concern is age and health, you'd ideally pair the candidate with someone young. Warren is younger than Bernie, but not by that much.
