Journal of Other Forum Analysis (Volume II, Issue 1)

[HaughtyFrank]

It's a pretty legitimate question whether game devs forgot their original audience in the search for a new one. Like with something like Concord I can imagine how the devs were bragging to each other on Discord.

"Isn't it amazing that we made multiplayer game without a single white man? This is so important"

"I totally agree, Professor. And also, can I just say that I also appreciate how not a single one of the female characters is sexualized? This is so important."

Meanwhile I'm pretty sure that in the west the main demographic who for games is still white dudes. 
This doesn't mean that games shouldn't have any diversity at all, but sometimes it feels like there's this Resetera mindset where it's not good enough to have diversity but that you also have to stick it in some way to the white guys to make up for all the injustices of the past.

[Besticus Maximus]

Presumably these people are just going to stop playing videogames now that the entire industry has disavowed them? Right? Right?

[Kyon1988]

Factually Jeff is warring with the factually incorrect again  -

And no official statement yet. Absolute failure of a company

This is so ridiculous.

It happened on a Friday night. Relax. It'll be back.

Wha? It happened during mid-day in NA lol. It was midnight in Europe. Also a 11h+ outage is unacceptable in this day and age

No, it didn't.

It sucks. But it happened on a Friday night when most people aren't working. Something like this requires all hands on deck, which means calling employees into work on a Friday night to figure out what happened and fix it. And if it's a security issue, that complicates the issue.

Some of you think this is just some kind of button they can push to magically fix everything.

There is an official message of maintenance when you try to sign in on PS5. Expecting anything more that, Friday into Saturday, is just silly.

SIE HQ is in California. So it was 4pm when the outage started and they could have released an official statement easily if they cared.

No, I don't think you know how any of this stuff works.

And yet again, as has been repeated a few times, they did release a statement. Their AskPlayStation Twitter acknowledges the issue and there is literally a message when you try to sign on PS5.

Do you expect them to release a multi-paragraph paper or something?

I dont get anything besides "Servers unavailable" when I turn on my PS5 and try to start a Game. Not being able to play Games you bought on PSN for almost 12hs surely demands an actual Statement eh? Like for how much longer Services are down or any Update??

It is a statement. Factually.

And yes half a day. Starting in the evening on Friday into Saturday morning. And as has been explained to you, which you've ignored, that complicates the situation a lot.

People in other Regions exist you know. Its been down for basically the whole day in Japan.

Why hasn't Sony called my personal phone and explained, in detail, what the problem is and tell me exactly when it will be back up?

Jesus shut up lol

Every single thread…

Imagine being that much of a fanboy that you are against Updates from a Billion Dollah Corpo lmaaaao

Another Fanboy defending the awful communication practice of a Billion Dollar company.

Okay, you officially need to pull back. This is embarrassing.

No, not me actually. You are putting down people in this thread who want to play the Games they payed for and ask for smth official which doesnt come from a AskPlaystation Account 9hs ago which issnt even responsible for PS Accounts outside of USA

People defending this shit

Era never ceases to impress me

No, but you see, this proves that GaaS is OVER!

It's good and in this 3 hour video I will explain...

Literally no one is defending it.

Explaining the indisputable fact that a major issue like this can't simply be fixed with the push of a button is not "defending" Sony.

It shouldn't happen. It sucks that it did.

But they have to get people into work after they already went home for the weekend. The issue has to be investigated. If its a security breach, they can't simply turn the servers back on even if they're able to. And so on.

I read your post exactly as the others. Maybe reflect on your post?

That doesn't make sense at all, as we said completely different things?

You missed the best part of that exchange. 

Zeo is being a cunt to everyone, like always...

But only one person got banned, for clapping back at Jeff with a literally factually true comment:




Ridiculous

Jeff's only "friends" are the crew of KFG and EZA. Only because he's their biggest Patreon supporter. 

It must be really sad to be him

User banned (3 days): Trolling. Account in junior phase

Seeing how you guys get so worked up over this has me wondering about your social life.

Go see a friend, a movie, watch Netflix, play your offline games or your Switch.

Literally anything but whine like a man baby.

User made Ree mad

This is such an odd thing to say to a bunch of people on a gaming enthusiast website. For a paid service lol

The fuck is this shit.

Look how superior this guy is to the rest of us! Be more like them!

Considering this weekend there is limited beta for one of the most important games of the year, how about stop policing the people affected with this?

Man shut up lol

Maybe the last six days they've been "seeing a friend, a movie, watching Netflix, played offline games"?

Stupid posts generate heat. Not a new phenomenon.

Watching rugby right now. As I said before I hadn't turned on my PS5 all week, and really just out of curiosity over this, but this is something people pay for. I think the attitude of telling people to get a life is really bizarre.

yea fuck my partner who works 8+ hours a day with children and only has (couple hours max) time after work to play and use a service they pay for?
what a whiny baby right?

Yes, I am a new user. I'm mostly on VGChartz, though I have the site blocked atm bc it's too distracting. The ppl there are very kind! Love them lots. I won't be on RE long (esp not with remarks like that lol). Just thought I'd look around for a bit.

Also, to clarify: I wasn't addressing your overall argument, hence I didn't mention it. All I'm fixated on is the crass labelling. There is never a context where such behavior is appropriate in discussion imo. All it does is legitimize your bias in disregarding the other side's arguments, and — if engaging with the individual and not simply talking about it in an forum of ppl who are in agreement with you (i.e. an echo chamber) — only creates tension. How are you any better than the ppl who blanket label minorities with slurs? You're spreading hate as a means of discrediting another person's cause in either case.

See, no idea who they think they impress with that. Meanwhile the mayor is much smarter 

"What these folks who unfortunately think that way think is that unless you are a straight white male from a certain background — because I want my poor white brothers and sisters to understand that they're not talking about them either, right — unless you are from a certain background, wealthy historic families with straight white Christian men, then you should never be in a position of power and that your thoughts and opinions don't matter. And that is the saddest part of it all."

[kaleidoscopium]

If somebody calls me a Paki, the issue with that comment isn't that they're discrediting my opinion. The issue is that slurs exist as a form of violence, a word serving the sole purpose of dehumanizing and antagonizing a group of people.

"Centrist" isn't a slur, it's a neutral descriptor, which is a pretty basic part of language. There's nothing innately offensive about calling a person a centrist and more than we'd have people fainting out of shock when people describe themselves as centrists, which is not at all uncommon.

[DavidCroquet]

I feel for that dude on his "debate is not a competition" argument.

Like, he's right. A healthy debate between peers is about refining shared ideas, not "winning". People posting clips of US DEBATE COMPETITION 2024 as some kinda gotcha are actually retarded, I fear.

[Propagandhim]

The irony of this post is that they'd never agree with the winners of this debate - if they bothered to click their youtube link.  Catalonia, Padania, and Volkstaat being allowed to secede and have independence from those dirty, underperforming ethnic groups?   Now h-h-h-old on here, maybe you can't win a debate, objectively, factually speaking.

[Nintex]

https://www.resetera.com/threads/looks-like-i-need-to-be-scheduled-in-for-a-colonoscopy-kinda-afraid-tbh.1104084/

If I have to see another 'I'm due a colonoscopy and I'm scared' thread, it'll be too fucking soon.

I had one of those about 10 years ago, all I remember was that the nurse operating the monitor was really cute and way too happy with her job of doing colonoscopies.
The doctor was like: "Ok, everything looks good, you can put it him down and operate the monitor" and she was like: "yippeeeee!!". As she started with the lube she said: "It'll either feel very pleasant or you won't feel a thing" and then I had to count down from 10 and that's the last thing I remember.

She was also very interested in how it felt afterwards "did you feel the tube poke in there?" and when she gave me the strawberry sandwhich said something ilke: "Eat up big boy".
I actually overslept by about 2 hours afterwards but remember thinking it was weird the gown was gone. The other patient was just leaving and he detested that girl and was all grumpy like "None of your business".

Driving back was the worst, my dad is a terrible driver even more so in situations like this.
He figured it would be best to avoid highways so it was just stop and go throughout the entire thing.

The result was IBS and that's just something you have to deal with  
Apparently it was common if you have astma because your bowels and lungs form from the same group of cells or something.

If they do it well your ass will recover quickly. I also had a tube put down my throat as a kid to clear out my throat, stomach and lungs because a heavy astma attack clogged everything up until the point I nearly died. That was frankly way worse than the backdoor because you have to stay awake. You're constantly coughing, choking and drooling while they say: "You're doing so well, keep it up". All they could do to numb the pain is spray some cold foul tasting shit in my throat as the tube went deeper and the tank filled up with tough mucus, slime and phlegm.

[Snoopy]

A new retard has appeared 

There are some monetary losses for sure, but not lethal ones. It would have been much dire if it expanded to to tomorrow.
Now I need to rush, in case it goes down again, God Forbids

What monetary losses? it was down for less than 24 hours, you're being incredibly dramatic. Dailies in whatever anime wifu simulators are not monetary losses.

It would be nice for everyone's subscription to get a few days extension, but anything more than this seems just bonkers for a short outage.

I really don't need to explain the calculations then for you then, it's not worth it, plus it's not just about gachas, but also about other games too..

So, not literally monetary losses then, ok.

You are really trolling right???
Each freaking day is worth 150 monetary units in every gacha, so almost full pull which is 160 units (60 from doing dailies and 90 when you have monthly subscriptions) and if you lsoe the 150 units per day, in order to compensate that, you need to buy crystals with real money. 60 freaking crystals cost 1,20 euros, now calculate 60 + 60 + 30 = 3 freaking euros, just for one gacha. now multiply that by 4 (Genshin + HSR + ZZZ + Wuwa, I won't include Ifnity Nikki cus it stayed working for dailies. Those alone are 12 euros lost for those 4 games for that "short" period you claim. It would have been much dire if it lasted more, cus there are events ending in few hours in Wuwa granting 500 Astrites and more ending tomorrow, one of them in Genshin granting 880 Primogems and a skin that will cost 1680 crystals after the end of the event. Now make the calculation yourself. Without forgetting rewards that will never come back. Also there are weekly challenges that grant even more units so if it continued, we would have missed them for the majority of people who do them on weekends.

I take for exmaple the case of Fortnite too. I didn't have time to play the season every day, so me and a friend were gridning daily to earn 7 levels each day. Now that it got down, we missed the 7 levels (even more if we wanted) before reset, those may not be compensated for the rest of the season unless we grind much more which is not granted so we can hope buying such missed levels for 150 Vbuck each so 1.5 buck each.

Without forgetting dailies of other games liek fallguys and and rivals which have similar system if you miss.


I can go much further but since you really don't care. It's not my problem. ANyway, it's not you or Sony that will compensate those euros lost, something people would neglect thinking it is just one day

Absolute madness

[HaughtyFrank]

Maybe its a good thing i never got into gacha games

“Why do you laugh at resetera and not actual pedo stuff?”
Actual pedo stuff isn’t funny my guy.

Though people who go to bat fighting against any form of sexualization in video games, getting people banned, brigading threads, bullying members and just generally cucking the mods, all while also publicly posting highly questionable material on their socials 24/7? That’s kind of funny. 

You do see the difference, right?

Btw coming in here and bragging about how quickly you can dig that shit up is a pretty bad look

Again with fucking bluesky   

"Resetera has a problem with pedos... because this user who posts on bluesky and twitter!!!". Sounds like twitter has a pedo problems, how come you don't spend days obessing over it?

You're problably thinking of 8chan or whatever. A site who openly brags about hosting pedo porn but doesn't get 1/10 of the hate.


Stop projecting aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
