I've known about resetera since its inception, and am well aware of the reputation that this community has. That reputation is part of the reason why I'm joining now instead of back in the day. As I get older the less and less I have time for the pure vitriol that consumes almost every facet of the internet these days. I'm pretty excited to meet some hopefully like-minded individuals, and hopefully if we aren't like minded, we can still respect each other and show kindness.

I am of the opinion that anyone who played Concord for more than an hour and came away thinking negatively is someone whose opinions on things can be summarily disregarded.

This game exposed, and continues to expose, lots of people and their ability to judge/discern. In that way, it's an incredible work of art.

Redfall was obviously poor and unfinished without even having touched it.

Era continues being the last bastion of Concord true believers against the hordes of gamers who shunned that masterpiece

I'll be fine since I switched to Monster Energy Ultra White as it's working out about the same price per hit and apart from the feeling like my heart is going to explode I don't notice any downsides.

There has something been nagging me since last night threads, maybe it's paranoia, maybe it's dread, but I get the feeling trans people like myself who are autistic or/and have other mental health issues like depression (also me) are less important, acceptable losses, not "good" trans people.

so uh

what percentage of trans people is that

Let me help…

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6830528/

We performed a cross-sectional analysis of the prevalence of psychiatric diagnoses among transgender patients in clinical care using an all-payer electronic health record database. Of 10,270 transgender patients identified, 58% (n=5940) had at least one psychiatric diagnosis compared with 13.6% (n=7,311,780) in the control patient population (p<0.0005). Transgender patients had a statistically significant increase in prevalence for all psychiatric diagnoses queried, with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder being the most common diagnoses (31% and 12%, respectively).

This is from 2019 though, so I’m sure that % has gotten better. Right? RIGHT?

So this is a team sport for you? I mean it makes some sense and why so many people have one set of views for Palenstine and a completely set of views for Ukraine.

If you can't see the differences between Palestine and Ukraine, I don't think you are looking very hard.

I'm trying to make sense of this statement, I don't see why it is bad. From what I understood they're just bored of male protagonists and that should be fine, hell the original headline says as much.

They could do without the 'feminist agenda' part, but I get it.

Lol guys I'll quit while I'm ahead.

Hope I amused some of you on this Friday. Both the people more on board with my thoughts, and those who think I'm just the biggest bozo around.

Anyone out there who's read my posts and actually somewhat understands the points I've tried to articulate and finds them at least semi-agreeable, thanks.

Apologies for being so spicy towards other people's faves.

I could write (much) more specifically about just why it is I'll never touch Valve's MP games with a 10 foot pole, but that's not this topic + I'm not just trying to rile people up. But I do legitimately think very negatively about modern Valve, Steam, and their general game design. And I do think it is a semi-related conversation tangential to this one.

But all this stuff is topic of conversation better served for actually -talking- with other good faith, high quality people instead of trying to make my points through text to faceless internet strangers (tho again this just all doubles back to the whole entire point I've been making, that this just is another reflection).

*waves and smiles at all the people dunking but who've been ignored forever*

Happy Friday!

Does he mean Dota 2 and yet to be released third-person-shooter Dota? Those are the only two Valve MP games in the last 13 years. TF2 was 18 years ago, there hasn't been a new L4D in 16 years, the only other games in the last two decades have been engine updates of CS.

I suspect he mentioned this because someone probably pointed out there being classes with specific playstyles instead of weapons laying on the map is also Team Fortress 2.

I am of the opinion that anyone who watched Zack Snyder's Justice League for more than four hours and came away thinking negatively is someone whose opinions on things can be summarily disregarded.

This film exposed, and continues to expose, lots of people and their ability to judge/discern. In that way, it's an incredible work of art.

Ant Man 4 was obviously poor and unfinished without even having touched it.

Era continues being the last bastion of Concord true believers against the hordes of gamers who shunned that masterpiece 

Could’ve just said Concord is good because it’s PlayStation and Redfall is bad because Microsoft, since that’s what they actually mean here.

Just cannot fathom otherwise why they STILL talk about that piece of shit like it was any good.

Edit: Of course, scrolling through that thread, somehow trans genocide is brought into the discussion of why it got hate. That’s as Era as it can get. Sweet baby Jesus.

There’s something amazing about how Concord doesn’t exist anymore and nobody cares. There’s more of a community for Ashen on the Ngage.

Since I read pretty good impressions, I went ahead and bought the thing. I’ve played about an hour of the game thus far. I genuinely have no idea what ass shake this clown is talking about let alone it being actually distracting in any way from the dilapidated misery that’s on the rest of the screen at all times. These weirdos always use faux progressivism as a cover for their twisted degeneracy

With that said
