I don’t know I don’t take gaming forums seriously enough to care who leaves or who stays.

If I decide to leave this place I just stop visiting the site and that’s it…..there is no need for me to announce it.

But... you just announced that you'll never make an announcement!

OP is right. The mods here suck are awesome.

Edit: dammit....you guys cut that shit out!

 

[Tams]

Probably OP has something else going wrong in his day or his life to bring him to the edge of making an ass of himself. It's a good time for a reminder to just take a step back, shut off the monitor, go for a walk when you're feeling like that.

For what it's worth OP, I agree that emulated BotW looks better than the Switch 2 version, even on a mid-range PC.

Oh, so that's the reason for this tantrum.

At the end of the day, this is Evilore's playground, so we play by his rules. Simple as.

Goodbye threads are always interesting because they don't really happen in any other setting. You're never at a restaurant and someone stands up clinks their glass, and then announce to the entire restaurant that they're leaving and no longer coming back because they didn't like the service.

Why do people feel the need to publicly account suicide? It's just absolutely bizarre...
Like some random bloke yelling to you across the street about the type of breakfast he had...

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

both weirdos getting account suicided by making a thread about it are completely stupid and weird with the lamest reasons. One is because people prefer Sony more than Microsoft and now this is because a mod edited their post? So they decide to get so mad for such little reasons that they’ll rather get ban wtf lol???

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

So true in today’s world

They probably have 10+ alts on the side ready to continue warring

I HAD ROLLED OATS WITH MIXED NUTS AND BLUEBERRIES, COVERED IN WHOLE MILK. I WASHED IT DOWN WITH SOME ETHIOPIAN COFFEE. I HAD A YOGURT AND SOME YAKULT TOO. THANKS FOR ASKING.

I can't wait to see tomorrow's topic: "arrivederci"

 

[Zannegan]

I don’t know why people think they are so important that everybody else needs give fuck when they leave..

It fucking gaming forum no one and I mean NO ONE gives a fuck if you want to leave or stay.

Pretty sure a few of us would care if the nicest person on the forum (and #1 Monolith Soft fan) disappeared.

[WhiteWaterM00se]

The Switch 2 reveal sure fucked up the mind of a lot of people.

It's just a console, people. It's neither the Anti-christ nor the second coming of Christ...

It was Tariff day, i believe that screwed everyone up. Nintendo was the poster child for it, because they announced Switch 2 on Tariff day. Bad day to announce a product.

I’ll be surprised if there is not more of these threads in coming weeks, should the tariffs continue and take effect.

Found the topic in question.

I agree a mod edit saying mod edit (i.e. "Mod Edit: Replaced OP's first image with a higher res picture") would have been in better taste. I certainly would've been frustrated if someone changed my post without leaving a note at least. I don't think I'd blow too big a gasket over this though - The edit was made in good faith to fix what was by admission a poor comparison. At most maybe a DM to somebody asking they mark their changes next time.

Also did we figure out which fanboy this dude was?

Got to be a Nintendo fanboy. Softest cunts in this universe and they will defend anything Nintendo as long as you mention anything negative

 

[Shifty1897]

It's a video game forum. Everyone needs to calm down and go play some games.

How about

?

 

[TintoConCasera]

How about

That's nice, but I'm calling dibs on this one:

 

[daTRUballin]

Very off-topic, but is this really how old Miyamoto looks now? That makes me sad.

aaaaaaaand proud fanboy of Vanillaware.

Sure as long as I can take this one

This narcissistic need to bitch out publicly is so lame. Just go lol. When it’s my time, I’m outta here like a fart in the wind.

Just like my dad.

What's weird is that posts with edits used to be marked with 'edited' or when it's a mod 'edited by moderation' (something to that effect), he's post appears as if it hasn't even been edited. I agree, if a mod does make an edit, it should at least state it was edited by a mod.

Are mod edits concealed now?

Would we care if the oldest guy on the forum disappeared?

You know...they could have simply said "my bad" when they realized their mistake. We would have laughed at you, but then we all would have moved on.

 

[Astray]

So many people unaliving their accounts because of the Switch 2 launch.

Was it the same when the Xbox Series and PS5 launched too?

 

[DinoD]

My message to youngsters.

 

[GrandlyBodacious]

Mods and admins of NeoGAF should be ashamed of themselves.

Why did you do this, mods?

Huh?

WHY?

 

[Bernardougf]

Boooo low effort no name calling or insulting anyone account suicide .. cmon at least throw some punches.. what a softy

 

[Topher]

"Every time someone commits account suicide in a thread, they are trashed in that thread endlessly for days.

But not me.....no my account suicide thread will be different"

Switch 2 announcement caused a major earthquake among Nintendo fans …

 

[TGO]

So a mod replaced your low resolution image with a high resolution image that actually represent whatever you was posting better...
But that didn't work to your advantage as your original message was distorted to your will and it clarified it to reality.
And you're upset about it.
I don't know what you want me to say other than..

 

[Crayon]

Am I the only one who thinks this was a joke post??

 

[Nephryte]

I’ve just read the ‘farewell’ thread … this one in comparison is very light hearted

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

I'd be pissed too if a mod wrote something in one of my posts that made me look like an idiot.

That's my job.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

That’s one of my favorite things to do on IGN. I make some comment a lot of people add a Like to, and then I edit it to something terrible and offensive. Making it all look like they Like something offensive. Ha

Not on an Xbox 360 slim ?

The Switch 2 has taken its first life.

If they're at IGN, they do.

 

[HercRaato]

Have we gone gold yet?

 

[rkofan87]

I linked a tiny screenshot from an IGN article and a screenshot from a post on Reddit showcasing a mod. Apparently the resolution was low that it did not faithfully represent the game. For the record, I have no way of telling on the mobile version of the forum… it all looks relatively small and linking is difficult enough as is. Plus, like I mentioned, it linked directly to IGN’s article (I didn’t upload my own version or anything of the sort).

A mod rightfully edited my post directly to change one of the links, linking to a new site now (Nintendo’s), so now apparently only one looked low resolution. They didn’t even leave my original link side by side. This distorted my original message, on my behalf.

It may not be a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but this approach is not something I agree with. I think users’ posts should not be altered, because I'm fragile. Imagine if X or any social media platform, instead of adding community notes, had the moderation team directly edit user content. This erodes trust and leaves me with little faith in what I’m reading. My post could have been refuted in many other ways, and that would’ve been fine.

That’s why this will be my last post here. I wish everyone well, but this place is not for me.

All the best everyone.

bye bye whiny bitch

People leaving left and right...

over dumb shit

my trust has been shattered and I am devastated, the betrayal is real
