We picked ours up yesterday, and really all I need to know is that my wife is absolutely in love with it. Pricey, definitely, but we'd been planning to get one since they unveiled them which was, gosh, more than five years ago.

We go on our first road trip next weekend (not far, only a 400 mile round trip) with my parents.

The test drive, obviously went well. I'm not comfortable driving something this big, but that's never been a concern for my wife with borrowing vehicles or certain rentals we've had. She drove it like she'd been driving it for years on the test drive.

I guess he's not saving up to move out of the U.S. if he's spending over 60k on a goofy van.

"This country is a horrible place and I might have to move it's so bad."

Also....

"I dropped over 61k on a van to take fun trips!"

I'm glad he's so brave and stunning to remain in this genocidal hell hole. What a terrible life he has.

Hopefully it isn't as Incongruously straight as the first season. Add some queer themes/characters this time please.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/cyberpunk-edgerunners-2-sequel-anime-is-officially-in-the-works.1236264/post-142324779

They have such a hilarious one track mind. Also you pricks would probably end up calling it homo- or transphobic anyway, so fuck off

Those people don't realize that normal people are getting annoyed about putting queer themes in everything. It basically gave Trump the victory

That’s the (not really) interesting part of the new Pixar flop. The issue is less queer themes and more that there’s nothing else. When test audiences took issue and the “queerness” was axed, it was empty.

You look at Barbie. It leaned into feminist themes. It had a trans actor. But it still had broad appeal and made over a billion dollars. The earlier iteration was Amy Schumer being fat Barbie and whatever and likely wouldn’t be as successful.

No surprise, era is hyping up the piece of shit movie Schindler's List.

Movie was pretty weak and everyone who isn’t 100% Jewish is just stupid and/or evil. Imagine if the roles were reversed…

I know you are joking but even a movie about Nazis killing Jews wasn’t so one sided with the depiction of Germans. At least Schindler was somewhat positively depicted.

Dude…

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Some new intended to be superior mobile themes are now available for testing. Some features are not available at the moment on them. Wordier details in the Feedback thread, comments go there too. Swap with the dropdown at the very bottom right of the Default or under Board Style in your user options.

yeah ok but where the dice command?

You must've watched the woke mind virus version of Sinners. The one I saw had some stupid black criminals getting trapped in a barn by a bunch of retarded Irish vampires who literally ran into the sunlight. Duh. 

The woke mind virus version you saw was about black culture being consumed by predators who are just as harmful to the black community as the KKK were.

Nope. Just gotta know what to look out for. There are dozens of signs, and once you know them, it's hard to become dense.

The irony is next level with this guy giving dating advice.

Does he ever tell anyone on Era how he met/enslaved his wife?

This is the part that really annoys me, when he acts as if he has any clue about normal dating when he had his dates arranged by the parents. 
 I bet you his wife was absolutely expected to get married and then she had to pick the least worst one out of the options. 
You can even just call all that different cultural values if you want but at least stop pretending that you have any clue about modern dating

[Bootsthecat]

Iirc that dude was on a dating site for these scenarios. I assume you weighed personal compatibility against how many goats you'd get in the dowry.

The female, of course, was fucked in said decision-making

I believe he once talked about one of these Muslim dating apps where a third person monitors all your chats. Very romantic

Have to say I am really starting to enjoy the Blueball engagement here. But the thing is we all know benji is crazy with his doxxing, so nothing to gain by regurgitating that fact. Still, he is less crazy than the average resetera poster and all the prominent members.

The average Era member is more interested in discussing who’s getting into Smash or when FFXVII is going to release. Even this forum basically obsesses over the same 3–4 users. If you think spending years obessing over a forum beause they banned you it's more "sane" you really need to go outside because it's clear Era has consumed your mind.

Are you dumb to not see that you boycotting Microsoft will just lead to more layoffs. I can see the hate against a company, but there are 1000s of artists, game devs who are still working at Microsoft and pouring their hearts into the games we enjoy. Let's judge their work by the quality and their artistry.

You cannot be outraged by the layoffs and at the same time boycott Microsoft.

Can somebody explain to me that regarding the genocide it's fine to support Sony and not Microsoft?
I mean Sony has a shareholder with the highest amount of shares (BlackRock) that's funding the genocide, shouldn't Era also boycot that?

That's probably right. Unfortunately Era has certain members that makes it difficult for normal people to stay active. Like last year there was that cute video of Ikumi Nakamura and Hideki Kamiya.  Princess Bubblegum came and derailed the entire discussion.

Kinda wish she wasn't propping up these veterans men well due for retirement. Though I suppose it's a necessity for a woman in the industry. *sigh* I want to see her direct a game goddamnit! Still mad she got fucked over by Zenimax and didn't end up directing The Evil Within or anything at Tango Gameworks.

All the more frustrating when it's obvious she's queer.
 

This happens constantly. Regular users have to walk on eggshells making sure not to break one of the many rules while Fetish cyborg can make hundreds of sexy WLW discussions. Nepnep is another example of a terrible human being who can post everything she wants without having to worry about consequences. 

It's fine having a place like this to post examples of that

[Snoopy]

Nep finally got him

 User banned (2 weeks): Repeated use of a banned source after being told not to use it

The source article from the Seattle Times just mentions AI is 100 percent speculation, no real sources or reporting. AI bad news gets clicks so everyone sharing this is saying "it's AI! AI is the the cause for the layoffs.". There is no real evidence for this unless there are insiders talking or MS makes a statement.

There is an insider but he's saying something a bit different.

That might have been true in the past before everything went to shit but now it’s just a big echo chamber full of hypocrites. Any normal user either has to shut up or will get banned sooner or later.

We are also making fun of everyone who posts something stupid, it just happens that those few users do it so often. I am sure most people here don’t give a fuck about their bans, signing up with an alt is easy enough if you want to. It’s more like watching crazy people on reality TV/youtube etc., simple form of entertainment.
