Ah right... a joke, so that's what crying in his VR Headset is as well then? It might be a joke, but he's the punchline.

Everything is Trump's fault. Some idiot drinks aquarium cleaner? Trump is to blame for that.
Axios | Man dies after self-medicating with chloroquine
They drank it because the name is similar and Trump said it cures Coronavirus. If he didn’t go on national TV and say that the FDA approved it as a treatment, would they have even thought of drinking pool cleaner?

Trump isn't telling anyone to drink pool cleaner...
Axios | Man dies after self-medicating with chloroquine
Of course not, but as POTUS, people will listen to what he says. Hence, why him not being a doctor or expert while touting the wonders of a drug during a pandemic is a problem.

Joe Biden Delivers Remarks on the Coronavirus pandemic. Is he ok?? COVID
Has it been posted? He looks sick. I terrified. This is 9 days ago. And over there Trump is doing daily 2hr briefings with full vigor. We're fucked.

Making fun of Joe Biden not allowed. Thread locked.
Wishing death on Trump and blaming him for anything and everything is ok though.

It's simply not acceptable for a professional reviewer to do this.
This is what concerns me about the ResetEra influence on the industry.
A lot of people would have put a lot of work and effort into this game.
If their game is legitimately great then they deserve the good reviews.
Not just because it will drive sales but because it also gives the developers the recognition for their outstanding work.
So for a reviewer to mark down a game because it's "a great game at the wrong time" is just a really shitty thing to do.
The headline of the review focusses on that and from the start the reviewer basically says "great game but I wish I didn't have to play it right now."
It's a real slap in the face to developers who worked so hard on the game and who deserve impartial and fair reviews of their work.
Idiots like Klepek defending this kind of review style are not helping anyone but their own selfish interests.
What he's basically arguing for are reviews that are more about the reviewer than the thing they are supposed to be reviewing.
It's part review of the game part review of the writers mental state.
The game was awesome guys but at one point I thought about some completely unrelated issue in my personal life and it made me sad and I had to stop playing so I'm just gonna mark it down for that.
It's like the reviews you see on Amazon where a movie has a one star review because the DVD arrived one day late.
Probably even worse than that since this is a professional reviewer.
It seems to be only video games that have this particular issue of reviewers deeply personalizing their reviews.
When I am buying new headphones I will tend to check out reviews online and these will often influence my decision.
I should not be subjected to something like "the build quality is great and the sound is among the best in this price range but I am going through a messy divorce and I listened to a sad song on the headphones that made me cry so I am taking marks off for that".
What the hell?
For some reason people in the gaming community have this idea that "Criticism" is some unquestionable and God-like thing that needs to be respected and worshiped. As if there is no such thing as a bad criticism and when it comes down to it the reviewers very personalized criticisms are inherently valid.
From the review: "But considering how stressed out I already am about being in shelter-in-place and practicing social distancing, I have to say that I’m envious of my friends who were spending all of their time catching virtual fish and paying of digital home loans"
So basically he'd rather be playing Animal Crossing. Which inversely seems to get a review score bump for being released at this precise moment in time.
This is where we are at right now.
Where the industry has these parasites clinging to it and making the process of reviewing games into some kind of personal crusade for the reviewers.
I feel kind of sorry for developers who put their heart and soul into these games only to have some dickhead say "great game, probably a 10 out of 10, but the Whole Foods was all out of soy milk this morning and that's put me in a bad mood and every time I ran out of ammo it reminded me of how Whole Foods ran out of soy milk so 8 out of 10 it is!"

Went down the rabbit-hole with Klepek yesterday after his post was posted, had no idea who the guy was. I don't follow gaming journalism, at least not since I was a kid in the 80's-90's.
Was genuinely shocked. How the hell has he not got the Era treatment and been deplatformed?
Then I remembered Hobbes being originally a verified freelance games journalist.
I stand by the fact Cerium took the first lifeboat off that sinking ship, it's hilarious. Gotta give him kudos for that.

Industry people are a protected class on Era IF they have an account there because they validate that forum as a place where industry people go to talk about stuff.
Anything they said in the past was "a long time ago and they have learned and grown as a person". From a games "Journalist " POV it's an easy audience to play to for likes/clicks/comments/shares.

Whoring themselves out to stay relevant and amass those clicks.
If the plagiarist from Brazil had an era account they would have easily forgiven Filip Miucin his transgressions. However, they doubled down on him when Jason Schreirer dogpiled on him in ERA for his laziness. The roars of whatever stupid phrases they have echoed in the chamber that time.

Sounds like a shitty parent ignoring their child and mother for a game. Wow you cried for a second before for continuing to play? What if instead you had a sit down talk with your kids about this life changing thing we are going thru? No? Then Maybe the problem is you prioritising a game in that moment over your own family maybe that’s really why you are crying.

While they lived out of state until about 5 months ago, my parents are now about 20 minutes away. For a while there it meant we took our kiddo over about once a week or every other week, it was nice for them to get to see each other more often. Now it's just kinda like they're out of state again. But I've devised a method where I put aside some time during the day so my parents can see the face of my child. I've dubbed it "FaceTime." But I definitely broke down crying about it while playing vidya games last night, because it's so horrible we're gonna have to wait a while to see them in person.

Pity it took a pandemic to invent something as valuable as this 'FaceTime' thingy. A wise queer non-binary lesbian pansexual once said it's tougher to keep your kids away from their grandparents for a few weeks than to tell your child your grandparents are dead. Words to live by.

The way I see it one side is a Nazi death cult, who will worship their leader as long as he sucks. The other side will tear their leadership apart and hate them. Obama was a once in a lifetime candidate and President and most posters in this thread will still instantly declare their hate...

It’s true only nazis worship their leaders never happens in any other systems which are all famously anti authoritarian /s
It’s funny tho I read that post and he was claiming you are nazi if you fought AGAINST the concentration camps and warrant less detentions of the Obama era. Yes if you were against the power structure that drones people all around the world and keeps whistleblowers in torturous solitary confinement if you are AGAINST these thing then YOU are the nazi
Basically you are a Nazi if you don’t think like this guy it has ZERO to do with policies. Entirely full of shit. The word has lost ALL meaning at this point. It’s “I am rubber you are glue” level
