No wonder he's trying to seek attention by being trans/non-binary or whatever he is this week.

I honestly don't see what all the hoopla is about.

PlayStation is PlayStation they finally managed to make a fun game by copying Nintendo Aloy 

Ciri looks fine I don't 

As usual and as I told you the clowns were wrong about Half Life 3 (rofl) or Switch 2 (lmao) Miyamoto 

Microsoft barely managed to squeeze a good game out of Bethesda and Phil Spencer is a sore loser Whip

Developers don't really care about the PS5 Pro and AMD upscaling remains garbage  PlayStation™ Fan Discussing Their Fine Products 

Geoff Keighly has never been a good presenter, platform holders keep all their big announcements for their own shows and marketing channels so the Game Awards was.

Without condemning or condoning, I think the overreaction is understandable among the landscape of modern games.

Ciri taking over is fine. But the detractors see it as another franchise going from a man protagonist to a woman protagonist. They’re more concerned about the patterns and trends and less any one instance. They need to take their wins where they can. Mafia 4 has an Italian man, which is close enough.

But I do agree that there are perhaps a bit too many threads about every chud meltdown. It's gotten so out of hand that I don't think every single thing needs to be called out – they'll dissipate within two days before the same morons move on to the next thing. It barely deserves attention.

What I think is a problem is how rent-free these people live in the heads of some posters here, comments like "the chuds are going to hate this." But this has become kind of an issue in online discussion in general, where you immediately expect the other side's reaction which ultimately limits your own enjoyment.

We got the White House, as far as I'm concerned they can have a bald lesbian in Sony slop I'll likely never play Trumps 

What mostly grinds my gears is if they make things lame and gay that weren't like the Tomb Raider TV series, Suicide Squad or Saints Row.
If Naughty Dog wants to release a new IP for 'modern audiences' and commit seppuku that's their decision to make.

But it also shows how many of them are bandwagoners and don’t care about the franchises they are “fighting for”. I get why they get annoyed and why the trailer doesn’t help, but they also look bad for the people that actually follow those franchises.

And it is also affects people with legitimate gripes with what was shown so far.

No, the second is not illegal. lol 
"Kill officer so and so of the 10th precinct." Isn't illegal.
There are idle threats and actionable threats. The problem is you'll get investigated by the cops to find out.
Call up your local PD and say this and see what happens. I'm not saying you'll get charged or convicted but don't think you won't get an unwanted visit or worse a warrant to search your place for evidence whether you would carry out the threat.

And you better not threaten me or my family like that. Gameboy Nostalgia knows what happens when neo-nazis threaten us. Ain't that right, Gameboy? They get a year in prison. 
And that's a Jeff Marvel Fact!!! Cop Siren Cop

He's a correctional officer for a jail (that does IT work). There are CO jobs that don't involve any sort of contact with inmates. If somebody isn't cut out for working on the yard with inmates we put them in a office job.

…and they can't even blame this on AI

What's this got to do with the thread?
That the BBC should really sort out their own shit with misleading headlines because of the danger they willingly caused to trans people without the use of dangerous technologies. Yes it comprises their integrity but people's lives are more at risk through their intentional angling.
Should the ML summary problem be ignored until all other problems are fixed?

WeAreStarStuff wrote:I live in DC and cycling is my hobby so I take long bike rides nearly every morning for cardio. This morning when I was about half way into my ride I took a turn around some park pretty much in the middle of nowhere in Maryland, and came across a truly shocking scene. Only a few feet from me, a vehicle was stopped in the middle of the road and a man had a woman in a chokehold from behind trying to pull her into the vehicle while she was screaming like crazy. I was stopped with one foot still clipped into my bike just frozen trying to process what I was seeing.

At first I thought I was witnessing an abduction, but quickly realized it was domestic violence. The guy dragged her by the neck into the car violently while she was screaming, kicking and punching, and she kicked the door back open, and then he slammed it closed. I wasn't sure what to do, so I went around the corner and called the police. I had no idea where I was, but they were able to ping my phone as I described what was going on. About three minutes later I turned around, and went by and they were still there, and about 30 seconds later I came across the police who were driving the wrong way, I flagged them down and pointed them to where to go.

I have no idea what happened afterwards. I hope they locked that POS up, I still can't get over it. I know DV is not uncommon, but that was the most disturbing thing I've ever experienced in my life. Part of me feels like a coward, and I briefly thought of trying to get between them myself before I called the cops, but realistically I'm 41, the guy was prob. half my age, and I can barely walk in my cycling shoes, let alone fight. I'm embarrassed to say that I've been feeling 'off' and numb ever since, and I'm not the one that was being abused. I can't stop thinking about that poor woman's struggles and screaming. People suck.

Only a 'part' of you feels like a coward?

You're a total fuckin' coward. Especially since you've come up with a whole list of excuses about why you're spineless. 'I'm 41, I can barely walk, I can't fight...'

People do suck. Including you.

Edit, some of these responses are hilarious.

ResetEra when it comes to actually helping someone in the real world: 'There, there OP, *kissie-kissie*, you did the right thing not doing anything. You were so brave and a hero, ~uwu~. Good on you for calling the police and letting them deal with it, *cuddles, xoxo*'

Honestly, fellas.  We're entering into a new age with Claude's computer use capabilities and Gemini's verbal and vision capabilities.  We could be creating our very own Resetera poster in 3, maybe 4 months from now.  Picture this: A bot set-up deliberately to agree with Nepenthe on everything, and then it uses its doctoral knowledge to criticize her commitment to the theory.  The users will be none the wiser:  "But what of the theory, Nepenthe?  How do you not align with the theory laid out by Dr Engels over here.  He posts 50 times a day and is the smartest, most well-read man here, he cites everything in perfect detail, and is the most committed anti-capitalist on the forum.  What say you, Nepenthe?  What say you????"  It may all come crashing down from the glittering edifice, upon the backs of a suffering peasantry (forum members) as described by Lenin in his analysis of the "weakest link".  And then a new king shall rise.  The forum shall be seized and under our dominion - the ascendant voice shall be remade in our image, one prompt at a time.

 This could be a glorious new chapter for all of us.
