People who care that much about balding are so strange to me. I've embraced it for half a decade now, it's really not that hard to pull off.

Yeah, I just shaved the rest of my hair off and be done with it. Ironically, since then girls have told me that I look quite good. Unfortunately, that doesn't fix my non-smooth behaviour during dating, lol.

VGC Chronicles: Phil Spencer Is the Person of the year

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/features/vgcs-person-of-the-year-phil-spencer/ Phil Spencer really saved XBOX. Really Happy for him

www.resetera.com

This thread is an excellent reminder of why most PC and Xbox folks left the site and Nintendo fans are relegated to their own threads. Their own admins like Transistor can gladly shitpost and console war, their Sony fanboys shit up every thread with no consequence whatsoever. Transistor even got called out on his idiotic post, so he just didn't reply anymore, just shat up the convo and moved on. Surprised that the folks pointing this out or suggesting Xbox fans to join XboxEra haven't been perma'd yet.

There's everything. People comparing Phil Spencer to Hitler, people complaining a white person won the award, people calling a Microsoft exec a "lol shitty PR person", of course tons of Sony comparisons, and so on. They should just rename the site to SonyEra and be done with it.

“People who get too focused on their own identity are never pleasant to be around”

I feel this woman, this topic has come up on every date I've been in the past couple of years. It's usually the other guy that brings up how they're not happy with the direction the LGBT movement is going.

I've never felt like there was a community, and admittedly, I never tried to be part of anything I'm ok with going my own way and used to it. But I feel like if I even wanted to be part of the LGBT community I'd have to censor myself or I'd soon be kicked out for daring to have critique on not only the LGBT community itself but also the homophobia in islam, I'd be a racist self hating gay.

There's no such thing as the LGBT "community". Who decided that all lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transsexuals think the same to the point of needing to collectivise? Be an individual. Think for yourself. Fuck anyone trying to browbeat you into participating in their union.

I think the collective is a 'pride'. A pride of LGBTQA's

Yeah, I suppose the need to collectivise came from having no rights or support from families. But the focus is lost, if it was just kept for that it would have been great but LGBT today has no focus and to me it feels like it's more about politics than homosexuality or transgenderism. You have to be the right kind of gay or trans or you're out.

When I see a guy on Tinder who describes himself as queer I instantly swipe left, queer does not mean gay these days, queer usually means extreme leftist and a certain type of personality.

 

[Papa]

I met a queer once. Didn’t much care for him. Very self-absorbed.

Even us straight guys can see that, the vocal LBQT "Community" will turn on anyone not on message. Fuck em, they can chew each other out with their purity tests.

 

[MrFunSocks]

When you’re done here, please read my 7000 word essay on how Easter is a cover for indoctrinating children into human trafficers.

Paypal me.

Off topic but that PayPal bit is a link to PayPal.me, which no one seems to know about unfortunately because it’s amazing. You set it up in your PayPal account and then can just have people go to PayPal.me/mrfunsocks for example and transfer me money or request money that I just have to click accept on and it’ll transfer it straight to their account.

 

[thefool]

Having some kind of identity has always been a thing. A few years ago it was the goths, punks, skaters, lesbians., etc. (even nerds). It comes and goes. Everything is fluid and keeps expanding. Now that lgbt are more out of the closet, they just doing the same in their spectrum. Politics are a bit like sports now, so it's even more visible. Don't be a boomer and accept times are always changing. From my experience, even radical ones in their online persona can be quite normal.

Gaming side here isn’t much better, just less hitler calling. If it’s even remotely positive Xbox news it turns to a complete shit show within 3 posts max. This site wasn’t/isn’t known as SonyGAF for no reason.

in fact you should take a look at the corresponding thread about Phil Spencer here:

I explicitely put no wokes in my profile. Queer means mental illness to me. Having a guy putting a dress while yelling I don't do labels while labelling itself as such is laughably idiotic.

People cry racism and want to destroy stereootypes while pursuing the same stereotypes on stereoids. See the "anti-racist" racist black woman above where we can actually picture her whole life as a caricature.

Aaaand locked. Staff got triggered that their shitposter admin is being criticized for being a console warrior. They banned the most egregious complainers, a little slap on the wrist for some of the most offensive trolls, and business as usual. Staff-approved shitting up of every thread that isn't a positive Sony thread. Gaming side really has much of the same loops of the off-topic side, but it's worse because at least in off-topic they indeed talk about things that, for better or worse, can change the world. Having to justify your console of choice is no lifechanger, and yet here we are.

They're acting like kids from the 80s to be blunt.(Ok, I admit it. When I was a kid in the 80s yes we made fun of bald people.) Of course that was before Jordan made being bald fashionable and that was over 25 years ago.

I'd love to see stats of what % of total threads on the their site have been locked so far. It's incredible how no thread can go more than a couple pages before getting locked. I've never seen such a thing on a forum before.

VGC's Innovation of the Year: DualSense

Link I really hope these features are widely supported in the future, as for things like racing games, it's completely revolutionary. Also hoping for better support for haptics in PC, although a standard on that platform probably won't be set until MS decides to add something like this to their...

Heh, now that it praises Sony, suddenly the thread isn't full of people going "who?" on VGC or accusing them of being shills. Funny how that goes.

They've taken over and redefined "sus" too.

Used to mean "suspicious of being gay", but they use it as "suspicious of being conservative/alt-right/etc."

 

[Ionian]

Nah 'sus' always meant suspect.

You grow up in a estate in the 90's?

Nah 'sus' always meant suspect.

What's the difference between suspicious and suspect in that sense? Genuinely curious.

Giving you the side eye right now

 

[Ymir]

It's even funnier thinking about banning likes and votes because they don't "add to the conversation" but 100 posts saying yikes or side eyeing someone or saying they're "sus" adds to much to these supposed conversations they're having. Such contributions.

 

[Umbasaborne]

On Resetera, trolling = something they don't want to hear (usually facts.)

“concern trolling” has been their favorite catch phrase of 2020. usually means “don't say bad things about stuff i like”

No joke i know someone who caught a ban for acknowledging the xsx lack of launch games in the xbox thread. They were banned for concern trolling

There's no such thing as the LGBT "community". Who decided that all lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transsexuals think the same to the point of needing to collectivise? Be an individual. Think for yourself. Fuck anyone trying to browbeat you into participating in their union.

I think the idea of a community or net of support it brings is mostly good, because there is so much discrimination and wrong ideas out there about homosexuality some people simply might not get by themselves, there is certainly a need for LGBT help centers, education, activism, gay friendly bars etc. But obviously, there is a toxic side as well, and each individual should learn to know themselves first, and then decide how much they want to be part of the "community" if at all, and what works best for them it should never feel forced in any way.
ERA/SJW appropriating the LGBT movement does some harm as well, regardless of the good intentions some of them might have.

(I also like the parades )

We don’t solve segregation with segregation

 

[JSoup]

We don’t solve segregation with segregation

I doubt anyone really wanted segregation when the community first came together, just to be left alone to live their lives.
It's more of a today problem, where you get people who said "hey, we as gay folk shouldn't be happy about this one thing" and then let each individual decide if they cares or not now suddenly offering the same statement but presented as "If you're not X, then you ain't Y!" and acting like the community is a hivemind.

 

[Astral Dog]

unforrunately, society isn't quite so simple thats why i said there is still a need, even if its not as strong as past years/generations

One of my good friends legitimately starting losing his hair his sophomore year of high school. I've never seen anything like it. He bought so much beer for people back then.

He shaved his head completely bald in college and has been that way ever since. He eventually married an attractive woman and has a good career now, so chin up prematurely bald folks.

 

[nush]

This is the absolute correct way to deal with hair loss. No comb overs, toupees or treatments. Shave that shit off, you'll look cooler and be boss "I didnt want hair anyway".

 

[Goro Majima]

There are downsides to being bald

 

[teezzy]

being bald is actually pretty damn alpha, i couldnt imagine actually caring. you'd have to be a little bitch to whinge about it

 

[MrFunSocks]

I was raised to not make fun of people, but especially not for things that they have no control over and cannot change. Making fun of someone’s laugh for example is absolutely terrible. Same with physical appearance.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

It wasn't about what you said. Word was common for someone who was shifty,

Sus is definitely taking on a whole new meaning though and it is directly related to the left being thought police. Not just to apply to shifty people but anyone who speaks out of line.

Imo this is why Among Us is so big w those types they love isolating and alienating people from one another

Well...

I can tell you of my personal experience that, due to radiation therapy, it kinda sucks when it's balding in spots. My head looks ridiculous right now. Hopefully, it will grow back. I'm nearly 50, and it was still really thick and curly. I'd be okay with natural balding, but this looks fucking silly
