He's not interested in discussion, he's interested in turning GAF into his personal safe space by proudly ignoring anyone who even remotely disagrees with him.Mods are much cooler headed than me. I felt like he was non-stop blatantly antagonizing during some really emotionally charged conversations, and I wouldn’t have minded seeing him nuked.
Always glad to see someone get a chance to change, though. It’s one of the highlights of the moderation here, imo.
I don't get the Nintendo/Nintendo fan hate. Xbox and PS fans continuously snipe back and forth at each other and that breeds animosity and stirs the console wars. I don't recall seeing Nintendo fans constantly coming into Xbox or PS threads and putting down either console and harassing those fans.
It seems to me that Nintendo fans stick mostly to Nintendo threads and avoid the console wars altogether. Yet I've heard frequently "Nintendo fans are the worst". Why? Nintendo fans what have you done to stir up so much animosity?
Ackshually, as a Sega fan, the Xbox was the spiritual successor to the Dreamcast and I directly blame Sony and Lamestation 2 for the demise of the better company.And there are SEGA fans that are still bitter that SEGA dare put their games on Playstation and play Xbox because it "Looks like Dreamcast 2" (from personal experience on various SEGA sites)
All in all, fanboys are terrible and never forgive or forget what X Company did to Y Company.
Nintendo fans tend to stick to themselves but the worst ones are ignorant of other stuff out there.
They are the least bothersome and tend to interact better overall but they won't go beyond a Nintendo product unless Nintendo endorses a Third Party franchise.
To be honest, you have reasonable fanbases in all corners and I do appreciate the legit Xbox fans like yourself as you have a different perspective to me and I can appreciate that and will happily talk about Halo/Gears/Forza without judging as I have tried those games but they are not for me, but hey...they are good games!
Ackshually, as a Sega fan, the Xbox was the spiritual successor to the Dreamcast and I directly blame Sony and Lamestation 2 for the demise of the better company.
Microsoft brought back the magic of the Dreamcast with the OG Xbox and carried on that philosophy with the 360, while Sony went on to launch a BBQ grill. Unfortunately Microsoft fucked it up the arse by losing sight of what made the 360 special and decided to chase the Wii crowd.

Ackshually, as a sega fan, I do blame Sony. If the Lamestation 2 wasn't so popular the dreamcast would have won.Wut? Sega was the only thing that killed Sega. Sega CD, 32X, and Saturn all not doing well, in a row, wasn't a good thing. Dreamcast was a good system for it's time, though.
I know that, but it was funny to see them take a side after what happened. Especially the arrogant ones.
I had a 360 myself and loved the first few years (bought it when cheap) but yeah they messed up but I loved their early Online Community as it did feel special at the time.
Just wish people talked about the games without shitting on the consoles.
On topic, I think Chuck needs to take a break if they are angered by that deletion. No one is going to take over their Post count anytime soon.

Sorry, but that tracker is not indicative of my behaviour at all. I barely use the report button (like less then 50 times in my entire time here) So to get criticized for that seems silly.Kagey, please. Just stop. You do this every time, it does not work out for you ever. It's not the mods, it's actually you and I don't read what you post in gaming but I have read since last year (Many times) you coming into this topic being bitch-made crying and lawyering your way around the rules.
What I've notice is the NUMBER ONE indicator of a console warrior is when they come into this topic compain about being modded and then start snitching on other users like some pre-school kid that got caught and thinks throwing other kids under the bus will get him out of trouble with the teacher becuse those other kids were "Worse" in their opinion.
Seriously how did you get as old as you are and not grow out of arguing about plastic game boxes with younger kids on the internet?

I was looking for clarification from mods.
You know 48 of those were on you.
And then I saw this in the thread I made
This was the moment I was like "I am done with these guys". I posted this before making that thread.I joined ERA on April this year and was banned for trolling the very same day. And I joined GAF 5 months before you.
Xbox Game Studios |OT8| Ori and the Speed of the SSDs OT
Why wont they ? They were the ones who approached Microsoft for this project. I would expect sequels like Life Is Strange has in future.www.resetera.com
The fact that you are posting this means you know what happened there. No need to lie here.Just a little reminder OP ( LadyBernstakel) was banned from Era because of console warring
So i was thinking she was repeating what she used to do there in here
All this happened within 24 hours. And after 2 days they changed it to perma-ban
Nice try.
After I requested the ban, I saw thisWhat do you think this thread is tagged with ? I founded this while searching the web about Phison controllers and also saw Linus cover it. Didnt find a thread on GAF, so posted it here.
Should have just made a thread about this.
I didnt say anything. The quotes and the original title were from the article. There was no commentary from me.
Oh in case I forgot to mention it, you don’t know shit about me,Kagey, please. Just stop. You do this every time, it does not work out for you ever. It's not the mods, it's actually you and I don't read what you post in gaming but I have read since last year (Many times) you coming into this topic being bitch-made crying and lawyering your way around the rules.

Oh in case I forgot to mention it, you don’t know shit about me,
I’m excited for the day you figure out your pluses and your minuses.Very mature of you considering you're over 50 years old.
What's with you and your obsession with the number "50", if I may ask?
What a waste of my time.I’m excited for the day you figure out your pluses and your minuses.
After that you can probably do real math.
But how else would we know ur a lady m'lady? (you can request a name change thru your settings btw)So, my requested perm ban was reduced to 2 weeks. First of all I will admit that thread was just me losing temper and unleashing it on GAF, and I shouldnt have posted that.
But just a day ago I had to go through this
And then I saw this in the thread I made
Naturally I replied after I saw that post
This was the moment I was like "I am done with these guys". I posted this before making that thread.
After I requested the ban, I saw this
Once again I admit that I should have not posted that thread, and need more self control.
But I think GAF does not have any policy against this kind of trolling. I am not a NeoGAF staff member and I dont think I am obligated to be monitored and report on what site to join by normal GAF users, unless I am spreading any misinformation about GAF(which I am not). The fact that someone manages to find some posts among the so far 9 XboxEra threads on ResetEra(each closed after over 400 posts), means they actually visit Era a lot. And they still make it completely out of context to fit their agenda, knowing what happened. If I keep replying to all of them, it would seem like me derailing the thread. In the Meta GAF drama AP and Led Guy even posted screenshots of me being an admin in the XboxEra discord(anyone can use any username in discord), there seems to be an effort to make it seem like I am someone from Era part of the sekrit discord club to invade GAF. GHG was even into meta theatrics even after everything was explained in Meta GAF.
I have often been mentioned in unrelated threads. I apologize if someone is so hurt by my mean posts.
In future I will try to check manage my temper better.Unless I am only hurting your ego or you mention the Meta GAF discord drama again.
PS : Why cant I change my name to just "Bernkastel"? I dont see anyone with that username and find the "Lady" in my name too cheesy.
It does not allow me to change my name to Bernkastel. There does not seem to be anyone with that name.But how else would we know ur a lady m'lady? (you can request a name change thru your settings btw)
It does not allow me to change my name to Bernkastel. There does not seem to be anyone with that name.
The name "Bernkastel" is not allowed.
Is it disabled for you? Also I totally get that discord thing. I don't use it and people were told I was because of rumors and that I was german or something. Which I forgive them for but it was still...odd.
Oh there is one.

Slayven is a mod here?! Wtf EviLore
The account is old and hasn't been logged into for a while so you could maybe ask an admin to close the account if you desperately want it.
Thanks for looking at my issue. I want to ask, can I report all instances like those in the pic without any consequences ?Welcome back Bernkastel
To your point about your name change - the '@' will bring up current active users (though I'm not sure of the threshold), and will omit any banned members. So you can still type out the link without the autofill and it will work. Voila, @Bernkastel. The account is old and hasn't been logged into for a while so you could maybe ask an admin to close the account if you desperately want it.
Those pics and screenshots do not affect how we moderate on a day to day basis. It would leave the system open to falsification of data and create all sorts of headaches. Of course, sometimes we just don't catch these as we tend to focus on 'flash points' within the thread that last a couple of pages rather than read everything. However, do report them if they are malicious in nature - generally we assume most people will be mature and just ignore childish remarks, but if there is a pattern of stalking or harassment, that is different. We can't go into detail too much, but there are times when members you probably think are getting off scot free have had reporting privileges revoked, or after investigation found to be the instigator of the trouble and earned themselves a ban. The surface doesn't really reflect the underneath.
Overall, we're happy to see you return and we think just differentiating some of your posts in their purpose would be beneficial. The problem with technical threads for Xbox is that a lot of detail is still to be released, then there is the overlap of certain tech with custom pieces but are built on underlying frameworks which blur the lines. I think general speculation threads might be better suited until that detail is revealed (and this goes for journalists too). Otherwise just take the extra time in your formulated posts to really eke the detail out. Your topics are broad in nature, which are thoughtful to read, but the broader the topic the more scrutiny will be applied to each individual facet and I think that's where a lot of problems come from (especially when we get into numbers of real world/hypothetical). As an an example, if we were to discuss SFS - there's already a lot to differentiate there from PRT, a non custom SFS and then the additional texture filtering and reads being triggered by the tech. Maybe give some background to the tech and how it works, then how the custom stuff is different. This isn't just advice for you, but more general advice to the forum. We're keen to see threads of a high technical nature without the arguing as well.
Unfortunately COVID-19 is not the only outbreak we have. In mod central, we have quite a severe case of hotdog fingers running amok.
I dont know if you saw it, but later I added patent patent US10388058B2 to the OP of the XVA thread.As an an example, if we were to discuss SFS - there's already a lot to differentiate there from PRT, a non custom SFS and then the additional texture filtering and reads being triggered by the tech.

The hardware implementation of SFS in Xbox Series X for feedback streaming and how Sampler Feedback differs from standard Partially Resident Textures(PRTs) is described in patent US10388058B2.
Graphics processing units(GPUs) include various internal hardware components, such as processing stages, memory elements, and other pipelined processing elements. There are various internal stages to process graphical data into rendered images. In many GPUs, these internal stages comprise a graphics pipeline that can take representations of scenes or user interfaces and render these into images for output. Among these stages are texture mapping stages that provide graphical details, surface textures, colors, or other elements for portions of rendered images. User content that is rendered by GPUs, such as video game content, is expected to continue growing in complexity over time, but graphics hardware constraints such as bandwidth and memory capacity are not expected to grow at a similar rate.US10388058B2 - Texture residency hardware enhancements for graphics processors - Google Patents
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for graphics processing systems in computing environments are provided herein. In one example, a method of handling tiled resources in graphics processing environments is presented. The method includes establishing, in a graphics processing unit, a...patents.google.com
This patent provides improved efficiency in usage of residency maps for GPUs. The layout of the residency maps here provides for viable hardware implementations, leading to faster and more efficient rendering of graphics for computing systems. Texture mapping process can be memory intensive, so Partially Resident Textures(PRTs) are used to aid in this process. PRTs partially map texture data only to portions of objects presently needed to be rendered, such as due to viewpoint characteristics of a user, obstruction by other objects, proximity to a viewer, or other factors. Mip mapping can also be included in this process to pre-compute a series or set of smaller and smaller texture representations to suit different levels of detail for the textures. This mip mapping can aid in anti-aliasing as well as provide less processor-intensive renderings.
Migrating elements of texture streaming implementations from mip-based streaming(i.e., loading entire levels of detail) to tile-based streaming and partial residency can be an effective mitigation to performance issues. Techniques using partial residency can allow content complexity to continue to grow without a corresponding increase in load times or memory footprint. Tiled resources can be improved so that these PRTs can be widely adopted while minimizing implementation difficulty and performance overhead for GPUs. These improvements include hardware residency map features and texture sample operations referred to herein as "residency samples", among other improvements.
The first enhancement includes a hardware residency map feature comprising a low-resolution residency map that is paired with a much larger PRT, and both are provided to hardware at the same time. The residency map stores the mipmap level of detail resident for each rectangular region of the texture. PRT textures are currently difficult to sample given sparse residency. Software-only residency map solutions typically perform two fetches of two different buffers in the shader, namely the residency map and the actual texture map. The primary PRT texture sample is dependent on the results of a residency map sample. These solutions are effective, but require considerable implementation changes to shader and application code, especially to perform filtering the residency map in order to mask unsightly transitions between levels of detail, and may have undesirable performance characteristics. The improvements herein can streamline the concept of a residency map and move the residency map into a hardware implementation. This is the custom hardware portion that performs feedback streaming in XSX.
A second enhancement includes an enhanced type of texture sample operation called a "residency sample”. The residency sample operates similarly to a traditional texture sampling, except the part of the texture sample that request texture data from cache/memory and filters the texture data to provide an output value is removed from the residency sample operation. The purpose of the residency sample is to generate memory addresses that reach the page table hardware in the graphics processor but do not continue on to become full memory requests. Instead, the residency of the PRT at those addresses is checked and missing pages are non-redundantly logged and requested to be filled by the OS or a delegate. This describes how Sampler Feedback is an improvement over standard PRT.

So if we move onto the second requested ban from pawel86ck (who had a clean record until then) and we illustrate what is wrong with their post - again just a flippant comment that is just going to cause console wars. There's no honest discussion or attempt and moderator's have been in that thread a lot gently nudging people but there is a threshold and a recognition when people are not interested in having a discussion but just fighting.
Check the Medium trailer. It will be possible but with less fidelity than PS5. How much, we don't know yet. I expect quite a lot
This is huge. He's just told the entire industry that Sony left them behind in a puddle of tears. PC hardware will catch up soon but Xbox... Please understand why our games smell of last gen. Please be excited for a mid-gen refresh in 3 years. Please use the cloud in the meanwhile.
Thanks man, the same thing can be said about your comments as well, because I dont remember any rude comments from you even when others were attacking you. For example Gears 5 discussion, your arguments were on point yet you were attacked for saying something obvious.And lets' be clear, I'd wish some of these XBOX posters would come back, I know Lady Bern was always on my back at some discord or the other, I know Pawel and I had our disagreements, but it never got out of hand on GAF, they were generally respectful and didn't use the straight insult card when the kitchen got hot
Never assume people care about you as much as you care about them.I know Lady Bern was always on my back at some discord or the other.
The reviews industry is full of corporate pressure and payola, especially for AAA games.
Does mods saying it count as evidence?You have already been warned for TLOU statements. Just stop. Where is the proof they are paid direclty for good reviews.
Hi !Bernkastel :
I had DESTROYA being mad at me one time as well for making fun of Cerny's SSD presentation.
Also then being angry at me in different threads that had nothing to do with the original one..
Dude can hold a grudge, that one is sure...
Does mods saying it count as evidence?
Or more of "Ours was a joke, yours is not," scenario?
