The part of their brain that allows them to type letters on a keyboard is functioning. Anything beyond that is up for debate.Just kidding. I know the part of their brain that handles cognitive dissonance is nothing but a lump of scar tissue.
I don't read rooms. I'm more of the Larry David type. This also counts towards why I think NeoGAF is pretty, pretty good: It's now sort of a recursive spite message board. Like, it was there; and then a spite message board was made; and the original board became the spite message board for the spite message board of itself. Infinite spite.
The ACAB shit is ultimately what drove me away from there earlier in the year as well. It's an absolutely rotten viewpoint, but that's the mainstream position on there, shared by staff and userbase alike.Old school GAFer here, holy shit I never knew what a shit hole era have become. I just got permanently banned because I said the following:
"Do you guys really say and think that all cops are bastards? My best friend is a cop and he is one of the best people I have ever met in my entire life."
Then I got a lot of ACAB messages and then I said
"This forum has totally lost its way...im out."
And boom. Fuck that place, seriously.
Just wanted to say this as well. Sony's Defense Force isn't exclusive to ERA.GAF's Sony bias is equally as blatant.
Speaking as a PC/Xbox guy, I'm proud to represent the outlier opinion in this community.

I'm still not clear on what caused the recent exodus from REEEEE other than people waking up to what a narcissistic, deranged and totalitarian shithole it is. I'd rather most of them don't migrate to be honest. People with minds that weak and easily influenced will only pollute a space free for critical debate by incensing and reverting to their tribalistic tendencies. Stick to the echo chambers of Twitter, please and thanks.
You act like there's no discussion to be had about a game except social issues. That's merely one lens through which to analyze media. There's plenty of adult conversations to be had about all media that have a lot more depth than "is this a racist hat? That's a yikes from me dawg! Oof!"I'll be honest, I enjoyed Era and I enjoyed the fact that it constantly highlighted social issues within video games and explored those topics in depth. I still fully support many of the Era communities that are marginalized and highlighted those issues for discussions.
Viewing video games through a critical lens and being able to put a spot light down so many different avenues of interest and how they tie back into the real world, etc. adds a layer of enjoyment that just doesn't seem to be there when you look at video games through these child-like goggles that so many people do and who only consume them at face value. If that makes any sense?

There's plenty to discuss here, just not with people who share your exact opinions and beliefs. Why anything else is Nazi-ism of course, and we can't associate with THOSE people after all.You really have not been paying attention. Resetera says this site is filled with nazi white supremacists. To even decide to join up and stay here, you already have to be someone who hasn't drunk the koolaid.
The people who come here have either barely been posting for quite a while, or have just tried to put all the lunatics on ignore and talk about games. It's not like having to walk on eggshells and dodge around insane trans activism and socjus activism is anything unique to resetera - people are already obliiged to do it on tumblr, reddit, and twitter, and it's starting to bleed into instagram and facebook too. People are used to having to put up with it and thought they could manage it on resetera too, until it absolutely stifled discussion of a game. It's never been this bad, comparing it to previous reeeing about A Hat in Time or Kingdom Come: Deliverance. As long as you refused to take the bait, you wouldn't get banned then.
Don't act like resetefugees ones likely to pollute this space. Someone gilded Hobbes' post where he deigned to descend from his moral high horse to defend resetera's batshiitery, which was either a joke or a pathetic effort to make neogaf seem reasonable and kind. You're more likely damage the forum from the inside, by eagerly bending over backwards and policing each other to prove the haters wrong.

By the way, by resetera's rules you're a nazi now because you posted here, crime by association. But I suppose to you, your reputation is a small sacrfice to make if it helps elevate marginalized folx. Which surely it must or resetera wouldn't act this way... right?
I'm not forgetting it at all. Which is why I cannot fathom why people followed that exact ideology over to ERA.
Or did I miss the early ERA threads where they said "finally! We can talk openly about what happened with Gamergate"?
See above. The notion that ERA started off sane and slowly went off the rails is self-delusion.
Isn't using 'bastard' as a derogatory term problematic towards the millions of illegitimate children in the world?

I swear dog whistle is their favourite phrase, everywhere I go, "this is a dog whistle", "that's a dog whistle".
Don't feel obligated to prove anything to me. People like yourself who washed their hands of a community because news picked up elsewhere led to the situation where -- as you put it -- "elsewhere now cannot even have a civil discussion about games". The latter follows the former. Welcome back and hopefully pay closer attention to who is causing things to become "too fucking dramatic" so that the site doesn't have to be rebuilt yet again.I'm not sure what you are expecting out of me here. For the longest time this place was/is and also Resetera, an accumulation of gaming news feed that saves me the time to go through 50+ websites. After the exodus, Resetera simply had more discussions/news feed than here and i subscribed. I did not leave this place while saying shit to EviLore nor did i request a ban like so many peoples did, that was all too fucking dramatic for me, i simply focused my attention elsewhere for a more robust gaming feed of news.
That elsewhere now cannot even have a civil discussion about games, even thought about banning certain OTs, and has driven out Digital Foundry because they like a few retro like FPS games which somehow. It's poisoned the news feed. So i'm focusing my attention back to this place. On top of that, there's more increased activity on this forum since 2017's exodus so the news feed is decent.
Is there anything else to say really? I'm not saying it's like that for everyone, as some did leave the place while also partipating in setting off the powder keg, but i'm not in that basket.
Yeah that stuff gave me the rest. Wtf is this.Christ these people....

Radical leftists: "The protests are mostly peaceful."The left have a way of coining fashionable phrases which don't actually mean what they say.
Ostensibly, according to their logic, not all lives matter, yet all cops are bastards. They could just cut the crap and admit that racism is bad. I don't think the majority of Republicans would disagree with that either.
Seems to me that the only thing giving cops body cams did was demonstrate that most cops are normal and things can get very crazy very fast for them.(Admittedly I knew one dirt bag ex cop, he was our high school principal. He was a creep.)Radical leftists: "The protests are mostly peaceful."
Reasonable person: "Police officers are mostly good."

You really have to be a simpleton to believe ACAB.The ACAB shit is ultimately what drove me away from there earlier in the year as well. It's an absolutely rotten viewpoint, but that's the mainstream position on there, shared by staff and userbase alike.

I feel that the best analogy for that place is the movie "The Matrix":Old school GAFer here, holy shit I never knew what a shit hole era have become. I just got permanently banned because I said the following:
"Do you guys really say and think that all cops are bastards? My best friend is a cop and he is one of the best people I have ever met in my entire life."
Then I got a lot of ACAB messages and then I said
"This forum has totally lost its way...im out."
And boom. Fuck that place, seriously.
ESPECIALLY THE ONE YOU KNOWWow, something's really got these people wound up today.

It took you less than two weeks to get approved. Back in the day I would do account approvals in six month intervals.
Lol what if you're born and your parent is a cop? Era is so fucking dumb.
The irony is their mods act in the same exact way as the cops they claim to hate act. And when they do act this way, ERA members applaud it. They couldn't be a bigger bunch of hypocritical dipshits if they tried.Old school GAFer here, holy shit I never knew what a shit hole era have become.

Bet they like Robocop though!Lol what if you're born and your parent is a cop? Era is so fucking dumb.
Break all ties ofc.. what else?
I read somewhere you put like 10,000 hours into devil may cry 2...is that true?I'm keeping my word. Haven't posted in o-so-long and don't miss that cuck place for a second.
Just wanted to say this as well. Sony's Defense Force isn't exclusive to ERA.
my favorite is when these threads appear:
" my 84 year old grandpa said some racist things"
replies: NEVER TALK TO HIM AGAIN!!!11! And skip his funeral !
GAF's Sony bias is equally as blatant.
