Tara Strong, voice actress of Harley Quinn and tons of other stuff gets hate now

That she has family in Israel doesn't seem to matter. Wonder how long it takes for Neoxon to make a thread.

She's being added to Messeo's dossier as we speak.

This is an actual case we’re they could argue about “cruelty is the point” talk point they keep bringing out, but suddenly people need to be understanding on how terrorists are just getting pressure off after years of oppression.

Fuck the Rust Belt for voting for Trump, but why cannot think about the terrorists.  

And, obviously, not talking about Palestine as a whole but the group that everyone in the west knew that was aiming to torpedo any hope of peace that was not Benjamin Netanyahu.

There's also the "When people show you who they are believe them" which they fucking love to parrot but doesn't seem to apply when the Hamas talks about another holocaust

When religious nut jobs and bloodthirsty nationalists go to war, it’s only to serve their own interests. Innocent citizens are just canon fodder to justify more bloodshed. This war has no end in site but I hope these hamas terrorists are wiped out before they torture and kill more women and children. I wish all discourse on this focused on saving innocent people instead of whataboutisms, revenge and taking sides.

Getting this thread back to gaming, Serebii has a meltdown cause people say modern Pokémon games perform like shit. 

Nintendo and the Pokemon company seem to get a pass for charging for DLC when they haven't fixed the base game when compared to Cyberpunk.

Minimal backlash online?

Are you actually kidding me?

I've received a tirade of abuse in just the last 48 hours because I asked people to stop commenting about the performance and visuals on unrelated tweets of mine, with people somehow interpreting it as me saying there's no problems

But much like anything, people move on.

They haven't unfortunately. Unrelated posts of mine still get people go on about the SV performance. Even had one following a web series about cooking with people complaining about SV performance there. It's why I snapped on Friday and told people I don't care, but they seem to think that's me defending TPC when it's me not caring about the same rhetoric over and over when it's not contextually relevant

The snap

I don’t know why people are upset at me calling them idiots for thinking Pokémon graphics are bad.

Fringe? hovering over your pokemon team is fringe? sorry, thats bs
And how it wont be "encountered in regular play" when it happens on the very last obligatory battle of the story

It's fringe because you need to already have had Koraidon or Miraidon registered in your Pokédex already which doesn't happen without trading/transferring. That's how it activates. 99.9% of players won't have that. Did you not read the explanation?

Trying to collect all Pokémon in a Pokémon game, what are you a fucking loser???

I watched at least 3 reviews that implied it ran worse. IGN, Nintendolife, Switchup, and GE. So yeah not pulling it out of my ass. the fact that it can even be implied is shocking to me.

I've done some tests as did my dataminers and it doesn't appear to run worse. At worst it is the same

It just seems to be running worse than the "memory" of it

Do I trust game journalists or uncritical fanboys

As someone inside and prominent in the community, it's annoying too. I've even had death threats due to this.

I also like how people say we're constantly getting rushed bad games when last year everyone was singing the praises of Legends.

Well it's happening all over again literally right now.

A couple of weeks ago I got a Shiny Pokémon in SV, shared it and got a myriad of tweets saying how I shouldn't put up with the performance etc.
Friday I finished up Detective Pikachu Returns and put out my thoughts on it. Got replies saying about graphics all over again

I made a thing saying I don't care about these things on irrelevant tweets. Now I'm getting bombarded because people are wilfully misinterpreting my tweets as "Shut up the graphics are fine" and as if I'm defending it. People always say I never criticise when I do, I'm just not toxic as shit about it.

He’s right, people complaing about bad graphics on images you post are literally the same thing as death threats.

ZeoVGM has got nothing on this guy.

Pokémon fandom has the worst elements of Nintendo fandom but at least they are actually now critical of the company compared to a decade ago when Marrick apologist like mentality was more widespread.

(Hope that talking about Pokémon is not talking about politics)

[Nintex]

The strange thing about Pokemon is that across the board Nintendo games have greatly improved. 
Better graphics, bigger production values, better gameplay in most cases and their games being more rewarding and difficult overall.

But somehow objectively worse Pokemon games keep setting higher sales records, it makes no sense. 

Especially because Switch has so many great RPGs that this isn't your only option like it sometimes used to be on Nintendo systems.

I guess The Pokemon Company doesn't understand it either so they just keep pumping out more buggy and ugly games because why change a winning formula.

Is Kyuuji waiting for J.K. Rowling's stance on the terrorist attack before taking any sides?

[benji]

Let me talk about this a little bit, and explain how things work. We're not full-time employees, we're not all sitting in an office together. We all have lives, careers, families. We work on Era in our spare-time, and sacrifice a lot to do so, as Era is very important to us all. We work hard to get things done as quickly and efficiently as we can, but sometimes, our actual lives get in the way, and that's what happened today, despite the seriousness of this issue. We also wanted to be extremely careful with the wording of our staff post and guidelines, which took a long time and a lot of work to put together, and felt it best to wait on our GM due the seriousness of the issue. We'll take this feedback regarding the speed of our response for the future, but I would like to note that generally, things don't take this long.

I'm not saying this for sympathy, or to complain, just letting you know that we give our best, and sometimes that may fall short, but it is our best.

FEEDBACK: You didn't fucking need B-Dubs dumbass post with "guidelines" because you added no rules, added no "context" or information and aren't even really enforcing based on anything you said in it even though you're banning people for ignoring it because it was meaningless.

If this really is your best then we have to assume that everything you do is purposely malicious because the incompetence is otherwise too staggeringly large to be unintentional.

They're so committed to pretending cyberpunk is this evil terf game, it's kind of hilarious how committed to the bit they are

You want them to admit they were wrong? Literally put their lives at risk by suggesting the staff aren't an infallible chosen caste?

Got a lot of downtime between family BBQs + a little jet lag.

Heading to New York tomorrow to dodge the Hamas apologists and Zionists. That should reduce my shit posting for a bit.

[benji]

I don't understand how anyone can "both side" this. Israel can fuck off. Elect a bunch of fanatics. Make the biggest prison in the world. Starve people and bomb them whenever you feel like, and then act shocked when people rise up.

I can’t believe this isn’t everyone take on this. Extremely annoying discourse is happening about this. I can’t stand it

https://www.resetera.com/threads/hamas-attacks-israel-including-attacks-and-kidnappings-of-civilians-israel-retaliates-with-massive-missile-attacks-against-civilian-targets-in-gaza.772478/post-113174165

Because that post is not justifying violence. Saying you understand how cause and effect works in an area under decades of systematic oppression and can lead to straight out savagery from the oppressed isn't justifying it. One can understand the motives of a murderer without condoning murder.

Some people will never want to understand. That leads to discomfort and challenging of narratives rather than something simple and easy. But it also makes having actual, genuine discussions harder when so much time goes towards dispelling bad faith arguments.

So what narratives are being challenged? If these posts aren't justifying it, simply explaining that some bad people do bad things (in this case with the full endorsement of leadership) is obvious, not challenging. Your argument is that these posts are simply non-sequiturs. They're responding to condemnation by explaining that it's happening. Which is already known because that's why they're being condemned.

It's also an odd explanation, that people are "rising up" against not the oppressive institutions but random innocents. And the rising up is being done by the allegedly ruling entity of the alleged state. This is what you're accusing Israel of doing. If random innocents in Israel are "fair game" then why aren't random innocents in Palestine? "Israel's the oppressor" is something you haven't yet established, simply declared. If Israel is the oppressor simply because they've won to date that implies that Palestine can't win. If Israel is the oppressor because it's "Palestinian land" does that mean Israel was already the oppressor when all the Arab states declared war on them? Is the narrative that we're being challenged with that at some point it was perfectly understandable for Israel to rape and murder innocents as "rising up" against their oppressors but they won too much and now it's no longer understandable for them to do so but understandable for anyone else to do so back?

Or maybe rape and murder and violence is all bad, especially against innocents, if you're challenging this "narrative" by explaining that some people do these things you can understand why others may think you're saying that sometimes rape, murder and violence against innocents is justified and possibly even good.

If you're going to argue they aren't innocents then congrats you're justifying terrorism against "soft targets" everywhere.

Are you saying the Rebellion shouldn't have rose up against the oppressor Empire/First Order???

I almost went lurking in the thread in an attempt to learn something, but your post tells me to just to stay out. I do know it's a very loaded situation. I've had a former step cousin who is Jewish pretty much regurgitating pro Israel sentiment straight from the source on IG this weekend and I think I am okay with being sympathetic to the loss of life in general instead of trying to untangle this.

I would say the opposite reaction is happening in the OT thread.

Ignore a thread that makes you upset?!? Does he not know what site he’s posting on?

Being honest, the mod team is doing a pretty shit job making clear that rhetoric downplaying terrorism shouldn't be allowed in that thread. Is a big ass shit show depending of whose poster aren't sleep in the moment.

[Boredfrom]

Incredible interview, too bad people will read it as a threat because they can’t discern fact from fiction

He states that Hamas mainly attacked military installations and mainly took military prisoners. That’s just plain false.

They could neutralize Hamas tomorrow, peacefully.

they could literally have a sea change moment with respect to their non-jewish citizens and immigrants, and particularly the Palestinians, that would change the perceptions of everyone acting, and completely isolate Hamas as a factor.

I didn't say "end the situation", but they could make moves right now, that would push them very far in the direction of ending it, and they could do it quicker than you think.

well said

Gotta love the "quicker than you think" though (it won't be quick regardless) - What do you base this on?

I think you underestimate the amount of agency Israel has in all of this. Or rather you downplay the amount of cards Israel holds in order to make change.

 

Also, IrishNinja is such a fucking parasite.
