Just think how huge it would be for everyone if y'all had a little basic human decency and got me a new power supply to feed that RTX 5090 y'all are also supposed to be supplying me with.

Like, honestly, I know times are tough out there so I'd be willing to settle for a RTX 5060 Ti as long it was the 16GB model. Y'all are always talking about "compromising" and "moderation" so here's a chance to apply y'all principles.

Also, I really hope none of y'all are pretending that I wouldn't be CPU bound with these cards if y'all intent on proving the cruelty isn't the point.

Huzzah, we're officially thebire! 

Sorry about sending everybody to the homepage, I can't seem to get the path preservation to work right.

This is genocide. I lost all my saved bore tabs.

This is genocide. I lost all my saved bore tabs.

While, yes, it is genocide and you are seen and valid, thankfully the URL's are still good if you just manually replace the "bore.net" part with "bire.com", which is what I intended the forward to do but apparently our host's domain service doesn't offer this. (I've learned a few don't including big names like godaddy.)

I may actually just not be doing it correctly and might ask the host about it if there are more complaints even if they aren't entirely serious!

Well it seems expedition 33 is their new obsession. The industry will stay the same, morons.

[Jansen]

Seriously gaming side is insufferable about that game right now

[Daffy Duck]

I’m glad people in that thread are calling the OP out.

Like devs downsize because they see they don’t actually need all these devs and sack people, Era then cries about redundancies in the industry, you don’t get to have it all ways

I think it will change the industry tbh. It's shown that unreal can put together AAA JRPGS with a 30 person team. Design wise, the battle system is awesome and it's the kinda thing JRPGs have been crying out for. It's kinda like the mario RPG games but more fleshed out and you can git gud and make the game easier by dodging and parrying.

The game is really really good tbf.

It lets them reignite all their favorite arguments like can Frenchmen make a Japanese rpg, should square-enix be punished for abandoning turn based gamers, and whether not using bonfires makes you a soulslike.

[NekoFever]

I love when the Rowling/Harry Potter stuff comes up around normal people because every time I’ve seen it happen, the conversation goes like this:

“Oh my god, what has she said?”



“Oh… ok?”

Have you tried hanging around with people who aren't Nazis?

My otherwise very progressive coworkers were happily talking about the wizard game and their Hogwarts houses the other day and I felt like I was taking crazy pills. DON'T YOU KNOW SHE'S EVIL AND THE SERIES IS FULL OF HER BIGOTRY??? HELLO???

Work for a non profit and people talked happily about throwing hp bday parties for their toddlers so I tried to ask if I could send an educational email on what Rowling is doing and let people decide from there whether to continue supporting the series. Hr approved a heavily edited letter sent via email that no one responded to and people kept talking about Harry Potter.

Also got told I would be ruining "people's happiness"

Does atlus not exist to y'all or what. Anywho I don't care about the games quality - this industry is stagnant and unlikely to change in a meaningful way. Funny to see woke games like dragon age: surgery scars get blown the fuck out tho.

I can't wait for the next naughty dog game 🤡

Just a heads up in case anyone missed the absolute steal of the century last time.

£8.49 for:

Halo CE Anniversary
Halo 2 Anniversary
Halo 3
Halo 3: ODST
Halo Reach
Halo 4

Even if you have it via Game Pass - it's surely worth eight quid for Steam Deck users.

Even accounting for how bad Halo 4 is, that's still an absurdly good deal.

I am seeing this stupid joke about Canada becoming 51st state in all our election threads. As a Canadian please listen to us when we tell you this: IT IS NOT FUNNY.


We are already suffering through a weaker economy and uncertainty thanks to Orange Turd and we don't need Americans making this stupid joke. It is not just annoying, it tells us our lively hood just doesn't matter to you guys.

Please stop making this joke, I sincerely request to you all, especially from a country that elected the biggest clown in history.

It's incredibly unfunny. It's basically a threat of war.

It is nothing to joke about at all. I'm with you OP.

Big agree. Trump says some stupid stuff but this one is not to be joked about. Notes are absolutely being taken with Russia and Ukraine so even if you are absolutely against a country absorbing another country, the joke normalizes it.

On a side note, congratulations Canada for standing up and showing true strength.

Should be bannable. Or at least warrant a warning.

Yup. Was gonna say the same thing.

Because people can be criticized for flagrantly ignoring a basic moral ask. It's like if you posted a thread about how you love your new Tesla in Etc that everyone would be dunking on you. It would be one thing if this was a thread about the Halo franchise since BDS doesn't ask you to stop playing the games you've already bought but this thread is encouraging you to buy a game from a struck company.

Moral ask? shut the fuck up

[Jansen]

Have you ever been half asleep, sitting on the floor, and then look to your left eyes blurry as hell and see your cat chasing something and they're coming right for you and you're stuck like that scene from Austin Powers. Needless to say I punched the shit out of that little garden snake and let it go outside.

Later that day I was checking my blood sugar and when I went to squeeze my finger for blood that shit sprayed all over my face. Horror movie shit. And then today I sat my pipe down to look in the closet, went back towards it, and that motherfucker was started rocking back and forth as I started walking towards it

These were good 3am I'm high stories

The US and Canada share the same facist, European heritage. Ergo, Trump is a Canadian problem. Anyone who disagrees is defending colonial powers, global anti-blackness, and--worst of all--capitalism.

Hidden content, anyone replied to that thread to see it again?  It was hilarious

Here you go:

I was at working trying to get stuff done when my coworkers started talking about Harry Potter. One of my bosses actually threw her baby a Harry Potter Birthday party and everyone thought it was just so fucking darling and cute, and all started gushing about how much they love HP and have reread the books recently and i was basically shut down unable to work emotionally, because I'm honestly getting to the point where even mentioning words from the series infuriates me.

ANYWAYS, I realized part of why they could have such a positive conversation was probably because they were unaware of what Rowling has been doing as they aren't active on twitter and social media sites like that. I didn't want to go butting into their super happy positive conversation about their love of HP to tell them the truth, but I'm on the equity team at my job and part of my job is teaching people about social justice and equity issues in a civil and educational way.

I'm thinking of talking with my other boss about it in our private meeting tomorrow to see if there's a way i can use this moment as an educational moment to teach my coworkers about Rowling is doing and let them form their own opinions from there. I think if she's involved I can make sure it's done in a professional and civil way instead of just angrily calling Rowling a terf and horrible person like I do in online circles LOL.

I guess the main thing will be finding the best sources I can use that work in a work based setting, but I really want to do it, just to use this moment to teach things and hopefully give myself some peace of mind at work lol

So I’m not insane, both of these cunts were posting in the 2nd page of the stickied BDS thread:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/the-bds-movement-calls-for-a-boycott-of-xbox-and-microsoft-gaming-products-over-its-parent-companys-complicity-in-the-genocide-in-gaza.1155057/page-2#post-138028641

The point is that Windows is too entrenched in corporate America. Too many people use Windows for work where they don't have a choice otherwise. Xbox is the place where the average consumer can hit them easiest.

Worth noting that if you're moving to Gmail accounts - Google are on BDS' list too.

Now they’re completely ignoring anyone calling for boycotts in the Halo thread

This should be the header for every Microsoft related thread and reposted everyday so no one can ignore it. Maybe condense all Microsoft topics to one thread if not outright banned from discussion like Cyberpunk was around it's release. Why discuss a company gleefully aiding in genocide?

Ree’s combination of stupid and arrogant is something else. He saw his co-workers enjoying something he didn’t like, therefore they needed to be “educated.” Of course it all exploded in his face and now he’s the office freak with a red flag on his folder

I think at the very least, staff should be unified in saying "we won't discuss or encourage hype about Microsoft games"



Like, if users do it, fine. Whatever. But staff should at least be willing to put in the work for the optics.
