This is where era constantly makes themselves look like fucking idiots. They sit there huffing their own ass emanations, writing 7,000 word posts because they think they are creatives. They present ths facade of being educated while at the same time making these massive flowery posts and on the other hand trying to control all language. Then they take something as benign as this, which would probably be on a grade school reading comprehension test and try to inject sinister meanings and double entendre's into it so they can all move onto the next screamathon. I think 'screamsheets' was a direct reference to articles on resetera. Care bears was well ahead if its fine with representation
Gaf is a lot more left than people believe (want you to believe). Just most of us (and now you guys) are bothered about politics in nothing more than a passing passion. And you won't find people making any excuses for shit lefty policies. Meanwhile the centre right are being grouped with the extreme right and forced into more concentrated and 'specialist' forums. I think the Politics forum only represents the stifling of discussion for contentious topics rather than gives an impression of what alignment most of the forum is. The rest of us are mainly in games and OT.
Overall I find the talking about games to have turned toxic by these people because they speak as though they are above the fanbase. They seem to think only they can appreciate all these nuances and high level art in games, and the rest of the people are just filth who need to ascend, and be told/directed on how to do that. What is the phrase, GamersTM? It's an entertainment product at the end of the day, mainly targeted at teens and early twenties college students. That's how we got into them. We're probably that first generation of proper gamers that is growing older, and trying to validate a pasttime. Who the fuck cares if I spend my time controlling a little digital guy hunting down space crystals? People watch shit like I'm a celebrity etc. They are literally this gif:
If anything, they are asking for a market towards mature/senior games. Some games cover that off quite well. They are not directly targeted at that demograph but they have cross generation appeal, like Dr. Who, The Mandolorian for example. The reason is simple, we're a small demograph. As people get older, we play less, have families, real things to do. My weekend can't be spent playing cyberpunk. I have to get my ass in the attic to clean shit, go the gym, cook, tidy the house etc.
Schreier can eat a turd as well. Every software company has a 'backlog' or 'bug list' that is parked and non critical. It usually is a preapproved overtime pool. So if you're bored and have 4 hours on a Saturday, you might dial into work, take a quick peek at the list and earn a couple hundred while you're doing nothing urgent. They just give out redemption tokens for bonus cuts. These people are the worst, they are basically the Tories in sheep's clothing. A race to the bottom. Where everyone just comes into work and treats it flippantly like college until the clock rolls round to 4/4:30 and check out. They want to be lazy but not miss out. If people work hard, they should be rewarded. If other people have free time and want to earn extra money by picking up work, why shouldn't they be allowed, or held in good graces because they use their free time to help the project rather than watch Netflix?
They all remind me of graduates wandering round a room, taking bites from an apple throwing round these crazy high level 'ideas' that they think will change the world and lack any specificity. When it comes to actually doing or working implementation though they all disappear and contribute nothing. Anyone working in any high pressure delivery based organisation knows their type.
