worship? it's literally memes. this kind of thing you're doing right now couldn't possibly feel less genuine to me.

like, remember when we were calling ken kutaragi and reggie worship memes 'super creepy and off putting'?

no? hmm. gotta wonder what's up with that. def not just people finding ways to justify castigating an entire platform's userbase.

My bad. Sometimes I forget how functionally retarded you people are. And yeah no, the weird borderline straight up CULT like worship Gabe and Valve in general get is legitimately off-putting since aside maybe Apple I can't think of any other tech company on the planet that gets like that and it's NEVER a good thing. The stuff with Reggie was universally seen as being part of the joke and never taken seriously whereas people legitimately view Valve and Gabe AS PC gaming itself.

This.

Stop. Supporting. Clowns.

Why do gamers always support the worst people?

No fun allowed… don't tell me what to do lol
The number of people that support nintendo here is VERY high and they are the worst. So who cares

NepNep

I have found and worked with plenty of people who understand the fundamental problems of exploitation, oppression, and environmental destruction inherent to capitalism and want to work together to get rid of it. We may have different ideas on how to get there at which point we can have adult discussions over those ideas, the opposite of the bad faith drivel you wrote in this post, but we at least see it as a goal to mutually work towards.

You still see capitalism as something that's salvageable. If what you say is true and 99% of people agree with you on that front, stop bitching about the 1% of people who disagree with you and go work with the 99% to pretty please beg the billionaires capitalists to give you a $17 minimum wage or whatever it is you want.

Lynnetto

I'm not bitching about anything, I asked you about your approach in good faith and you attacked me. I apologize if it makes you uncomfortable to question your extremely militant and exclusionary stance.

NepNep

No you didn't.

Lynnetto

I understand why you would want to frame any kind of questioning of your ideology as bad faith since it's difficult to internalize and reflect on criticism, but it wasn't. I am genuinely curious what you think you can accomplish when you intentionally reject such an extremely broad scope of allies.

NepNep

You can continue acting like this-

- is good faith, and I can simply be specific and direct and call you an asshole.

Do you want to apologize for being bad faith and actually have an adult discussion, or continue wasting my time? Makes me no difference.

Benny W is kissing NepNep's ass

I didn't read Nepenthe's comment as militant (please be careful) or exclusionary. It's direct speak. "Real talk". Straight to the point.

I believe they're saying don't waste their time by pretending you're in alignment when you're just going to pull back later on down the line. It's an absolutely frustrating process to go through.

Also they said collaborators may have "different ideas on how to get there." That's open, inclusive, and not militant.

 User Banned (Permanent): Troll Account

Most people won't just blindly follow whatever their boss asks them to do regardless of anything else. It's perfectly normal and acceptable for employees who aren't being paid a living wage to skirt some of their responsibilities. In this specific example, putting on a friendly face to those who are often openly hostile towards you when you're working full time but still living paycheck to paycheck is not a reasonable expectation for everyone

That is most certainly any workers prerogative, to determine what they are comfortable with, but if the basic premise of the job is "be friendly and helpful to customers" I don't really know what wiggle room is expected in skirting those responsibilities.

[JoeBoy101]

Reasonable post stating an opinion non-confrontationally that numerous other posters held in that thread.

Yup, definitely trolling.

Love they tried to upgrade the message to say “LOOK! THEY’RE A BAD ACTOR! STOP DEFENDING THEM!”

Yeeeaaaah. Keep fucking that chicken, Neppy, you petty little tyrant.

Messo: "Have you considered having your parents arrange a marriage?"

It's a pretty wholesome tradition tbf.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

This is probably a better system than what we have now.

"I need a REAL man with funny to step up who wants to be responsible for 3 kids (pregnant with 4th), earns at least $2m a year (hair, travel, groceries, car) is emotionally available, not a workaholic, take me through Africa in a camper van. Lifts 200lbs. Is not needy. respects me. Believes in god and no sex before marriage. Must be loyal in an open relationship. Shares my values and believes. My ex(not the father) was a narcissist"

[...]within the trans community there are likely many people who will empathize with you and have potential romantic feelings for you.

Do not let the weight of the world get in the way of your happiness, it is obtainable for you.

BS. People still ask him vidja opinions and questions. In fact, I remember how Nintendo’s fans tried to get cozy with Steam during those years as the supreme video game combo of Nintendo and PC.

Past game were million sellers so not sure if would call the series niche.

Big sellers in Japan and confined to PAL exclusives or preDigitalDominance download only in the west.  

People begged Level 5 for years to release those games. The fact that the new game has a big international audience is telling, specially because Level 5 HD Era content drought.

Looks like we've at long last got some romance options in a Nintendo game! Finally, we can stop slamming our amiibos together to get our fix 😅

Myles is definitely enticing but I'm looking forward to uncovering the other tasty treats that await in the later stages!

Has to be a troll. Who sees this and thinks there'll be romance options 

[DavidCroquet]

OP has been an intentional troll both on this site and off of it, intending to poison discourse around Nintendo tites. They did the same thing with Bananza.

for many reasons I thought I'd never be able to transition well and it was quite terrifying irl for a good 6 months after I began socially transitioning, but I am a good 16 months into HRT now and I'm more or less an attractive, passing woman

That's not really up to you to decide.

Coming up and posting wlw is very hard work

[benji]

So, never held a real job

Actually did until during COVID:


Attempted a music career as well:
https://sadsic.bandcamp.com/
https://soundcloud.com/sadsic


They even wrote a song for Era that's no longer available:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/reset-era-i-made-a-song-for-you.8342/

But this one is:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/my-band-made-a-song-about-reset-era-and-we-just-released-our-music-video-for-it-today.145096/

I am Sadsic, I posted at the other place a lot in the before times and have been making electronic music for like 10 years - I joined a band named "Manic Carbon" in the last year or so with a bunch of my music friends and we have a debut album coming out later this month. Ahead of the album, we released a song today called "The Reset Era" that's like a sort of weird psych pop lowkey banger with a cheapo music video you can see here:

It's about like my trials and tribulations with mental illness but under the guise of video games and video game forums; I started working on it shortly after this forum opened and it slowly turned into this kinda epic monstrosity with like 6 vocalists that's maybe comparable to something by like The Olivia Tremor Control or Circulatory System but with a more 2010s pop framework. I thought it was fairly relevant to post and maybe you guys would like it

Lemme know if it actually sucks but i think its cool, my mom says im cool

NaziGaf is going to downvote your video to hell.

Still posts as Sadsic everywhere else including Facebook/Instagram/etc. which is why he was so easy to find.

[Ethan]

Guys, you should really think about investing in this MaddisonAI thingy. I heard it's the next big thing.

I hope this influencer/AI/token/crypto (???) does wholesome wlw content.

[benji]

I refuse to invest because it uses two d's in Madison.

Oh wait, like DOUBLE D's??? I'm in! 

[Ethan]

I remember Sadsic from the mother of all suicide/internet detective threads:

AI Bore admitted is a bubble but the technology was going to thrive either way ( a fair assumption ). But Call of Duty suddenly uses AI slop (again) and is “WE ARE SO BACK!”

Any moment now the AI bubble will pop

Call of Duty has already been criticised for its reliance on AI-generated artwork in the past. 2023's Modern Warfare 3 included an AI-generated calling card in its $15 cosmetic Yokai Wrath bundle, and Black Ops 6—last year's entry—was lambasted for its use of a generated image of a zombie Santa, which infamously had six fingers instead of five.

 

Are you invested in the Bubble, Jensen? Because how you justify that?

Shame they hide so many threads and posts so we can't train our own sexy crypto AI influencer on TransEra posts for maximum high femme womanhood.
