Told you it was gonna be a slap on the wrist, nothing to see here, please disperse.

Even if they ever got perma'd it could easily be reversed like what happened with the retarded OP from the "They be making muh vidya game characters sexy, I am outraged" thread.

She was digging up posts by the OP to shit on him. Not a major deal but it seems even the mods are finally get tired of at least one of their "prominent members".
Seems like a real pots calling kettles black situation, regarding the moderation team's decision.

Does reset have any standards listed in a public space? I get the feeling rules are defined by mods in the moment.

What does that custom title of One Winged Slayer mean? I meant to ask this a while ago but forgot and or stopped caring. I see it on a few other posters as well. Does it mean they managed to trap a moderator into a ban or something?

Kind of like their banned persona list. It exists in the collective hive mind but nothing really written down. I was actually going to kick up some shit and demands like some petulant child for a detailed list with grievances and evidence, just to give the moderators something to do on their sleepless unpaid nights. I would try to gain support by framing it as some just cause to launch further campaigns against innocent people while everyone outside of the bubble watches on in amusement or horror.

The punishment this time is only five days but this is undoubtedly testing the waters to disappear someone to take their forum back.

They did the same sort of thing with KetKat once she came back from perma ban #1. Finally they realized they could get rid of her and no one would give a shit and did.

This is just the first step folks. In six months time Kyuuji's bullshit won't be tolerated anymore and then it is time to disappear and have one less obvious troll dictating how the forum works.

This is absolutely a move toward the long game 💯

too bad they've already banned hundreds, if not thousands, of people because of Kyuuji's antics

even if they finally do permaban Kyuuji it won't save the sinking ship

Not so long ago, internet forums were a place to escape to, free from the restrictions of real life. Where ideas could be expressed openly without fear.

I doubt they are aware of a long game, I think this is just the natural precession of human nature. Subjective enforcement of policy almost always leads towards these patterns...people seizing control when opportunities present themselves.
 
I must of entered my cheat code wrong...
I have dealt with 10 years of chronic depression and shitty education. Where is my cheat code? These people have such a childish view of the world as black and white it boggles the mind. I dated a black women whose mother had more wealth and education than half of my redneck family. They claim to be speakers of science but completely ignore the environment of which we grew up in and how that can shape who we are.


The cherry on top is that the whole thread was disproven lmao

No wonder there are a lot of people with mental issues over there.. if you give up even before trying shit is gonna look bitter..
 
Kyuuji got banned? what a plot twist.

Yeah, whatever your opinion about ThomasMarler's rant, it's hard not to appreciate his starting a thread that caused kyuuji to be booted off, even if it's only temporary. I'm surprised the mods had the balls to do it - I thought he'd be swanning around the forum as if he's perfect and untouchable for evermore.

I love the Ori games but... is this Thomas Mahler guy fucking stupid? Why have a verified account showing who you work for on ERA and POSTING shit about people that might end up being your coworkers someday? Is that just for some public points with the general idiots at ERA or "gamers"? He is just rude to Molyneaux, Murray and others... I get it, they lied, and as a consumer I would be pissed off at them, but as the creative director of a company under Microsoft... dude, keep your mouth shut. Oh and I guess he learned the right way posting there will get you fucked sooner or later, which usually happens with devs/celebrities in Social Media... thread apparently backfired lol.
I just checked his LinkedIn and he's been a Co-Founder of the studio for 10 years now, suffice to say he is probably not going back to the corporate world. Still bad when you are forced to deal with publishers.

But I agree with the larger picture - I think last 20 years (social media + psychology) has contributed immensely to what I call 'self-masturbatory expression', the belief that you need to talk and share everything that is happening to you and that you are thinking about.

If some rich guy wants to imbed a fucking pink diamond in his forehead OK. It's his money and health. I think it says a lot about the affluence anyone in the west is capable of achieving regardless of upbringing or race.


Not to mention all the free publicity he is giving to put a spotlight on Africa's contintinual problem with Blood Diamonds.

GAF is better for just about everything. We just need more gaming industry types than ResetEra.. if you consider how they abuse developers over there because of things like Transgender representation (in the most trans-positive fucking game of all time, no less) they will hopefully be flocking back here.
Devs and industry people were abused on GAF too in the past. People can get really nasty about their favorite gaming machine, and the attitude hasn’t really changed these last years.

I think it’d be best for industry people to not engage on forums. Trying to reason with fanboys is useless, and whatever you write in the internet these days can have serious repercussions. It’d be foolish to risk your career because a dumbass who loves his console too much made you lose your temper.

Check out this dudes tag, sorry don’t know how to screenshot it on mobile:


“Diversity Analyst Member” what does that entail?
He was "working" on a project to go through fighting games and list the race of every character to see which one was the most diverse.

Pretty much any media company (and most others as well) have strict policies about posting on forums/social media in any sort of "official" capacity (ie, saying "I work for XYZ Company and I'll tell you all the things that are wrong" or "ABC Company makes things harder for my company XYZ"). The guy might be getting fired over trying to get woke points with a bunch of morons who will screech and cancel at any perceived wrongs. It's why most of the "verified" people left on Era are from indie games and review blogs most people have never heard of.

Uh oh, the Ori director getting called out now. https://www.resetera.com/threads/ga...rhyping-games-with-lies-and-deception.373065/

Guy wasn’t the brightest for making that post without knowing it would lead to this kind of stuff. How long until era locks the thread to try to sweep it under the rug? If the Ori director stops posting that would leave maybe 1 dev of note over there.

Edit: LOCKED
Thomas Malher wish he had 1 tenth of the talent of people like Molyneux or Murray.

Nah, game industry people should stay the fuck away from forums and Twitter, imho. A lot of headache can be avoided that way.

It's the calm before the storm. Kyuuji is possibly in some discord server somewhere, claiming that Era administration are not doing enough for trans users and rallying to create a thread that will cause more drama.

so that incelsior dude will definitely be getting banned for his even more hostile posts in that same topic, right?

No, Larry is far too valuable for ResetEra. He creates so much content for ResetEra for nothing and is totally and utterly incapable of holding down a real job. Without Larry and his friends, there would be no ResetEra since mentally/emotionally people are fleeing the site in droves.

Is it a video-game forum or a discord chat room? The world may never know.

Moderators on Ree putting in overtime, monitoring diversity, temporarily closing threads, and scheduling weekly meetings. What's that saying about forests and trees? What an absolute shitshow.
 
Lmao that absolutely dumb fuck putting a diamond in his forehead. This is the kind of people making millions and millions of dollars in our world hAhahahaHahahaha

I’m gonna miss this guys lockdown extremism. His posts as he tries to navigate lockdown Britain have been extraordinary.

Do not worry. He will return with contributions about being forced to live in the real world for a month.

It will be pure gold.
 

So... I'm kinda confused here, was there ever any trigger warnings for Last of Us 2 where you : Stab a pregnant women, stab a POC, kill multiple people in horrific ways, stab dogs, torture people,.
On to the main point though... they kinda misinterpret story though , and even how one of the main villains exist but lol.

Also expecting a clean happy story of survival from Eastern Europeans is laughable. We're literally misery.
