Please don't cuck out and stop your basic information gathering benji. Who cares if like 2 people in this thread are crying about 'muh ethics'. People who can't even practice basic internet hygiene deserve it.

To keep things fair, I give y'all chuds and any reetards reading this thread full permission to dox me if you can. you can even use illegal methods if you want.

Once again, basic information gathering is fine. Users that have willingly chosen to link identifying information to their social media accounts and GAF/Ree accounts. Doing some googling around here or there to find more information is fine. Melody Shreds chose to put their face on their bluesky account, for example.

Nothing really wrong with reposting that stuff. It was all publicly given away by them at some point.

But hacking into accounts isn't fine. Leaking IP logs and using info from illegal data breaches is fucked up. Posting real home addresses and phone numbers is especially fucked up. Fuck all that shit.

Benji said he doesn't do any of that shit so if his word is true, then it should be all fine.

It's that simple.

Almost sounds like a threat.

How would u react to 'not fine'? Leave the site? Suck our dicks?

[PogiJones]

Whenever people start off a post by letting you know their profession I automatically assume they're full of shit. You see it a lot on Era, especially on the gaming side with people thinking their job equates to them knowing the inner workings of game development.

"As a software developer..."
"software developer here..."

etc.

Every working adult by now should realize that tons of people are terrible at their jobs. It's not just your coworkers, it's present in every industry you're not privy to. So the amount of deference that should be given is much lower than the "just trust that everything I say is gospel because I'm a professional" crowd wants you to give them. "Professional" just means it's your job, it doesn't mean you're good at it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SocialistGaming/comments/16a5e5p/i_am_the_reason_one_angry_gamer_is_now_woke/

I am the reason One Angry Gamer is now "woke."

Does anyone here remember the gaming blog One Angry Gamer? One Angry Gamer was a right-wing blog run by William "Billy D" Usher in 2014 as a pro-Gamergate blog. You can read about it at RationalWiki if you want to know more about Billy. Anyway, One Angry Gamer became infamous during the summer of 2020, due to Billy publishing an "Enemies of America" list containing the names of every celebrity and company who endorsed Black Lives Matter. If you want to know more, watch ReviewTech's video about it that he made in response to himself being placed on the list. Ethan Klein & Xanderhal also have videos on One Angry Gamer, plus a bunch of YouTubers whose names I don't recognize. Anyway, at this time, I was just a leftist internet troll who would argue in the comments sections of One Angry Gamer, arguing with Nazis, basically. At this point, Billy was losing money due to an ad boycott of his site, so he abandoned the site. It was quickly bought by a man named Karolis. Karlos at first kept Billy's right-hand man Kevin to write articles. But after a couple of months, he sent out a tweet that One Angry Gamer was looking for new writers. You can guess what came next. I, the humble little leftist anti-Billy troll, applied and was hired in the spring of 2021. I knew that most of the people reading OAG were nazis, so I decided to troll them through official articles. I published dozens of articles taunting them & basically click baiting their racist timeliness. I was only paid $200 a month and Karolis was an apolitical moron who replaced all his other writers with AI, so I felt no guilt. Do you want to see one of my most recent articles? Here I lavish praise on High Guardian Spice. For context, right-wingers HATE High Guardian Spice and especially they hate the heroine. How about one where I praise buff women in video games & taunt right-wingers? The funniest thing is that Karol praised me for bringing traffic to OAG with my controversial "woke" opinions, such as when I caused meltdowns with my Extra Credits is RIGHT article. published a couple years ago. Now whether or not you find my articles cringe, the opinions within are my sincere opinions. Every article that is not mine or Karols is written by AI, so I think my articles are still the most tolerable on the blog. If I had not taken the job, one of Billy's Nazi fans would probably have gotten it instead, so if you find my writing style lame, know that at least it drove away the nazis and removed One Angry Gamer from the list of right-wing outrage machines on the internet.

You absolutely saucey bitch. I love this. I gotta rewatch the extra credits on evil races.

I believe we reached the ultimate Concord cope

This game, its (unbelievably high/strong) qualities, and the trash discourse and reception around it are all hugely symbolic of the cultural decay modern developed civilization is currently experiencing to be quite honest with you. It's stunning actually, and I can very easily see this game and its reaction being something that art historians/anthropologists/sociologists in the distant future look at as a reflection of the culture. Because it's something else.

As someone who was in a terrible but very serious emotionally/psychologically abusive relationship with an extremely intelligent, capable person that was all about denying reality/trying to control my perception of things, let me tell you, I can spot/smell the bullshit from a mile a way. Shit's actually both disgusting and pathetic to me on a deep level. The reaction to this game at large has viscerally affected me personally because I'm intimately familiar with the mental games of deranged people.

And when I say the response phenomenon to this game is fascism at work, I am deadly serious. One of the core tenets of fascist movements is to bring culture to heel using the force and influence of terror. Precisely what's going on here. They are simultaneously trying to both deny perception and to shape reality.

Kudos for not having Jedi in a Star Wars game.

[EaldNarche]

Oh my god... the game is just a flop. Games flop all the time. Concord looks extremely generic and people are burnt out on live service games. Crazy that they'll blame literal fascism for a sony game flopping before they accept that.  

[BananaBlast]

Putting aside the likelihood of that being a troll, maybe there's some real truth to the psychological abuse by the "manipulative partner". He must've got mindbroken horribly beyond repair. 

I'm picturing something like him getting in a relationship with the only girl that was ever nice to him, and she ended up being ultra-right wing and then abusing the everliving shit out of him. The mental damage he sustained now causes him to think "criticism of a crappy woke game = fascist gaslighting"

Kinda sad, really.

Edit: Nevermind, ignore this post. I realized I was just overthinking this and giving a brainrotten idiot the benefit of the doubt.

Woke people tend to not really care about woke games. They mostly talk about them just to trash on people who they don't like, or to briefly praise the queer representation, but then it's immediately ignored or forgotten.

I barely saw any praise or talk at all for Dustborn and Concord in the burka thread.

Promptly removed.

So the game isn’t banned, but quoting the game’s director is a no no???

EDIT:

Oh. Perhaps I should have researched about it a bit more then. I just found the word count stat in isolation interesting, if slightly suspicious.

Don't mind, the game is not exactly banned in here. But the topics surrounding this game have always been weird to me, it's allowed but not really, just mind your words.

Ah ok, clear as mud.

One of the important things to keep in mind is that stage fighting and screen fighting are entirely designed around making something that looks cool but doesn't actually hurt the other person. Your whole goal is to basically manufacture an illusion that makes an audience think they're watching a fight, but it's really a visual representation of a chunk of story played out through actions instead of dialogue.

Real fights don't look anything like what you see on screen, though. They're usually very frantic and over extremely quickly. Most real-world fights I've seen are about 80% bluster and then maybe one or two hits before someone's down.

Yeah. Chuck sucks nowadays, but when I was young, I remember a lot of my martial arts masters talking about him like an absolute genuine pro from the tournament circuit.

Depending on the martial art, yeah, it's not going to help you against someone who just wants to end you in a second. There are elements of the training you COULD theoretically apply to a real fight, but most people aren't going to be able to do that in the moment if genuinely forced to defend themselves. It takes a level of skill (and more importantly discipline and improvisation) that most people just will not have in that kind of situation.

Most of the martial arts I learned were really only useful for show fights and tournament fighting where the entire point was the art. It's an entirely different discussion when the other person you're fighting is deliberately using the same style as you are.

This dude is my favorite out of all the main characters. Some might think he is played out but he’s consistently compelling. Some (most) of the more political, trans-focused, blatantly misogynistic, grossly racist comments and posters here end up making me uncomfortable, but the safe space of ZeoVGM is simply endearing.
