No ZeoVGM. He must not be confident in the quality of the movie and thinks it will bomb.

Kingdom Come Deliverance White Simulator 2 thread will be a graveyard. Looking forward to seeing some gaming bumpkin accidentally posting positive impressions and getting got with dismissing concerns.

Alert the Zuck. Capitalism is over.

Fuck him forever. Quest 3 was pretty much the only meta thing still in my life and Batman is now my last ever purchase.

I'll get rid of the damn thing and jump back into VR if Valve ever announces something new.

I'm literally part of the team that removes thousands of instances of hate speech and disinformation a day...

I'm going to lose my job....

So many people talking out of their ass about this shit when it's literally my actual real life job...

Where the fuck else am i going to be able to continue the work I've done for like ten years now?

But sure we don't do shit, it's a right wing app, it's full of disinformation blah blah.

Also it really fucking hurts to see the majority on this forum, that I love, literally cheer for my life to be ruined.

Fiction, you've literally posted comments supporting boycotts and slamming any developer Era has a hate-boner for.

Perfect time to use Era's favourite Meme. Dumbass.

Why are they sweating? All this is doing is building hype and anticipation for a console thats practically guaranteed to sell like gangbusters.

At least I’m getting pretty unhyped about the damn console and I feel a WiiU/3DS/XboxSeries Deja vu. But I’m probably wrong.  


Is also funny how Nintendo manufacturing problems still bite them in the ass more directly.

With Xenoblade Chronicles X coming out, Switch 1 still got a ton of life left. Ima wait for a Switch 2 bundle with whatever hot Mario game six months later.

Friendly reminder that your family members aren't right-wing solely because of TikTok (or honestly any other social media platform).

They're right-wing because they were already susceptible to right-wing modes of thought from the passive act of living in a conservative country that is overtly hostile to education and socialism, and thus they eventually went looking for that shit. Conservativism provides simple answers to large problems and convenient abdication from personal responsibility, which is a difficult concoction for many to give up.

Social media ratchets up the degree to which people can fall down a given political rabbit hole because of the addictive nature of scrolling and the algorithmic way content is curated. But you could not stick someone like me in front of Ben Shapiro and turn me into a raging Nazi, because I have the lived experience, education, and confidence that directly contradicts what he's saying. It's like getting me to believe climate change is fake, or that puppies aren't cute. It's not happening.

Tl;dr- a bit of a skill issue with some of y'all's family members, sorry to say.

MIMIC is obviously the asshole, so I'm surprised the thread hasn't been closed and hidden to protect him.

He has the support of assholes like DigitalOp:

But I mention this because I see people scolding OP for talking to his neighbor? There are some differences in our stories, obviously I have to be a tiny bit more socially aware because it’s legit dangerous for me to be knocking on peoples doors late at night in this weird ass country. But like what was I suppose to do in ERA's opinion? Let my apartment flood because the neighbor could be scared of me knocking on the door??

How shameless using the race card in this case…

His entire post is weird because the situation he describes is water dripping into his apartment at 10pm. That's just a completely different situation than angrily banging at the door of a single mom at 5:30am to complain that she's walking too loud

This is a lot of that forum, demanding one-size-fits-all rules that also apply to every hypothetical individual situation.

What country spends more money on public education, Nepenthe? (Of which you did not partake.)

Also, Ben Shapiro isn't going to turn anyone into a raging Nazi because he's a devout Jew.

Actually, I love how she's ranting that other people aren't brainwashed by something because they're already brainwashed by something, but yet again the person claiming this is completely immune simply due to their existence.

[books]

I get the feeling Nep would definitely date a goofy looking white dude like Shapiro.

I hope she loses her job and I hope she burns in hell

[Boredfrom]

She is just like Musk and Trump, speaking a bunch of nonsense, but those asholess accomplished something in their life regardless of how brain dead they are. Of course, she will blame the lack of success in the fact that her family isn’t dirty rich (just upper middle class) and her convictions against capitalism.

T3's ending was incredible and a great ending to the series. Outside of Arnold carrying a coffin and shooting a gatling gun at the same time, it was lame. Every sequel after that was pure ass.

If my education, lived experience, and confidence got me absolutely nowhere, I'd change all 3 of those things immediately.  Nepenthe ties it to her identity, so that will never happen.

Overrated ending… The first movie basically had the same paradox ending. This one just spelled it out more after the 2nd movie tried to wrap it up.

1. Grew up in comfortable suburbs of a major city, especially during its period as the "Black Renaissance" city.
2. Got a useless art degree after like seven years, does no individualized learning.
3. Only has confidence when having power over someone, if not, cries (see: KetKat drama) or runs to B-Dubs/cops/pharmacy security guard for help.

Stick them in front of Ben Shapiro and it’d be the first time he’d have to look down at somebody.

User Banned (1 Month): Homophobic Slur; Hostility

I love when the ban message is longer than the post 

[benji]

Stick me in front of Ben Shapiro, Hasan, that Black guy they always post or anyone else and I'm not going to be a raging whatever. It's not because of my experience, education or confidence, it's because I'm naturally and intrinsically skeptical. The latter three have only confirmed that value of that stance.

Nepenthe, and most of that forum, are not skeptical in the slightest. They're completely gullible. Sure, they posture and appear like they're these bold challengers to dominant narratives, but they're not, they only challenge one set of (most imaginary) narratives and always in the same way and even search it out to challenge it when it doesn't even exist. Look at what they're doing with Kingdom Come for example. 

Nepenthe, to continue to pick on this example just because she's most prominent, absolutely fervently believes some nonsense she picked up somewhere that she's never thought about, never read about, never really studied "basic theory" about, etc. It's like Tumblr Marxism that she read some "explainer" on somewhere once by a Black separatist. It doesn't even adhere coherently to the beliefs she professes, let alone any grander acknowledged theory that exists out in the world. She dropped her police abolition posture immediately when the topic became social media just the other day. Her anti-colonialism halts at Black Americans. Her racial separatism deviates around billions of people she lumps in as "Brown bodies" as does her anger at colonialism and crimes against Blacks. She never explores history or other cultures except Brazil which is an incredibly unique culture in the world. She excuses acts of colonialism/capitalism/anti-Black/homophobia/whatever else just because people aren't white even though this violates her stances on those subjects. She creates elaborate fantasies rather than study any actual historical events or ways the world operates. And never has any skepticism about any of it. It's always so clear and exactly as she believes.

This is why it's so easy for me to constantly make references to religion or cults with them because both require faith to dominate skepticism. Not just faith in the supernatural but faith in the scripture being accurate, faith in the institutions being correct, faith in the powerful being people who act in good faith and never for personal interest, etc. You can see that forum believes all this stuff. They claim to hate cops and the US government but endlessly trust giving them more power in hopes that good people will be able to use that power. They have absolutely no qualms about trusting the good faith of Hamas or the CCP or Iran or whatever grifter they're current championing. They go out of their way to have faith in "marginalized" people being exempt from humanity and instead walking the planet as some kind of demigods. They have absolute faith in Melody Shreds needing to get money to eat today. But nothing compares to their faith that they are absolutely and perfectly righteous and that infallibility exists only in others who can only ever fail them.

I'll say. I still feel the chuds got a massive win with Concord and so many people jumped on the bandwagon without any thought to what was driving the negativity in the first place…
The game sure wasn't bad, I played 40+ hours of it while it was active and there's no way that game doesn't deserve to exist.

I know people will claim that it can't be because of that but I know an effective hate campaign when I see it, the game should've been at least shadow dropped so the bad word of mouth didn't build up before it even released. These companies are weak for making these statements but they're not necessarily wrong about the gaming audience at large, it's why I stay off YouTube mostly for a long time now because it's just non stop on there. Does anyone want their game to have a target on its back similar to Concord? Potentially losing a lot of money. No, but yeah they probably shouldn't say it loud I guess.

All that whining over the characters because one of the designers spoke out against the chuds. So many people here carried water for those types and didn't even realise it. A shame. Kyps had the hardest garments of 2024 but you'll never see her posted :(

Every so often, so I don't get numb to it, I take a moment to really digest what they mean when they say shit like this.

They want to make fun games. They've come to the conclusion that my very existence, MY VERY EXISTENCE, in this video game, would get in the way of real fun. So they're denying my existence.

I don't know any of these people, but my very existence, my lungs drawing breath on this planet, make them angry.

The fact that I'm alive, and visible, enrages them.

They feel that if I get a job, it should have been given to a white person. I should never be in positions of authority, or in a position to earn accolades or achievement. If I achieve something, I got it via some help, because there's no way in hell my brown ass ever actually achieved something over a white man. Because the white man is better than me. Smarter than me. Bigger than me. More handsome than me. I am brown trash that shouldn't even bother trying to swim out of the gutter where I've been placed.

I can never be a hero. I can never be a source of comfort, courage, protection and strength to others in need. I am garbage to be sweeped into the dark corners of this world, where no one dares to roam.

I should not exist, and the assertion that I too deserve to be a central figure in a narrative is such an affront that they burst blood vessels.

It is not a bridge too far to call this straight up, old school, knuckle dragging racism. This is pure hatred, plain and simple.

Hopefully that puts things in perspective for other people in this thread.

Yeah that's why all this bluster and bigotry from these idiot CEOs seems insanely short-sighted. These pissed off social media goblins they are trying to cater to in the moment are just extremely loud idiots who probably won't even buy their shit, yet some of these companies are acting like erasing minorities from their products is what now sells going forward. Honestly? A lot of these CEOs are acting like brain worms-laden children with these sorts of public knee jerk reactions as policy. It reminds me of the Sticker Mule company head who went extremely loudly pro-Trump after the assassination attempt. I... can't imagine that helped his business(not to mention he's probably about to lose even more money due to tariffs), but he couldn't help himself because like so many other CEOs he's completely lost touch and can't read the room.

This shit is equal parts embarrassing and infuriating, but give it time and watch these idiots try to walk it back once they realize they're scaring off more customers than they are attracting them with boneheaded moves like this. It's almost like they think an electoral victory in a broken system accurately reflects social or consumer trends, which is.... a very stupid reason to throw your hat in with the loudest morons in the room.

 to all of these posts. These guys get it. Stay tactical.

Friendly reminder that your family members aren't right-wing solely because of TikTok (or honestly any other social media platform).

They're right-wing because they were already susceptible to right-wing modes of thought from the passive act of living in a conservative country that is overtly hostile to education and socialism, and thus they eventually went looking for that shit. Conservativism provides simple answers to large problems and convenient abdication from personal responsibility, which is a difficult concoction for many to give up.

Or Bionic’s

I'm literally part of the team that removes thousands of instances of hate speech and disinformation a day.

There is zero way to get it all of it, its impossible. But we are fucking passionate about it, and stomp our feet if we think we aren't doing enough and get policy to change.

And now we are getting invites from the likes of Meta and Twitter to interview.

I'm going to lose my job.

I'm going to have to join a place where hate speech is actually allowed and encouraged to continue to feed myself and my family.

So many people talking out of their ass about this shit when it's literally my actual real life job

Fucking hell we remove Trump videos for hate speech constantly.

Where the fuck else am i going to be able to continue the work I've done for like ten years now?

But sure we don't do shit, it's a right wing app, it's full of disinformation blah blah.

Also it really fucking hurts to see the majority on this forum, that I love, literally cheer for my life to be ruined.

Really odd to see somebody attempt to garner sympathy but still acting smug and unlikeable.

Soooo, it's OK to wish for KCD2 developers to go out of business and the developers to all lose their jobs, but not to wish for the Chinese spyware app to be put out of business and the internet janitors to lose their jobs?
