Thread full of a bunch of Joe Rogan posters:
A call for fiery retribution, followed by the narrative being broken, and then finish with a " yeah but makes you think, huh?" Drift off until the next outrage.

lol

You now live in the DC universe, you are now 12-14 years old again, you now live in or were in Gotham City; and now you're parents have died in an "accident" (bummer) that you highly suspect likely have been murder by the mob (A lot to pack in I know).

You have no family (well there is Aunt Cooper but we'll ignore her because DC certainly does) so the Billionaire and world famous Bruce Wayne, owner of the Wayne Foundation, Trust, Enterprises and others has adopted you and made you there ward (almost like the feel emotionally responsible). You now live in a massive manor with him, his Butler Alfred, Bruce's German Shepard named Ace and the Cow that lives in the Field.

You oddly don't see much of Bruce Wayne, you begin to notice he's gone most if not all nights; and when you do see him, you can't help notice the odd scratches and bruises he tries to hide.

Between School, meeting Gotham elite at parties, balls and charity events; and odd trips around the world; you notice Bruce and Alfred going through a secret entrance in the manor that seems to go... Somewhere.

So... WHAT HAPPENS!?!?!

Also if you choose to discover he's Batman, you don't have to be Robin (since Dick often choose that title and costume design), you can be your own hero)

Someone make it wlw

Is resetera gonna say we need to ban knives after what happened in Charlotte?

Ask the UK, my dear.

Do Not Create: Shock Threads

These are threads about news or content that is just disgusting and/or shocking, with little potential for discussion other than outrage. Nobody gains anything from these threads and you should not make them.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

for someone who is constantly crying about fake news and social media being the worse, B-dub's sure doesn't want to ban a person who created a hate thread off of some bluesky posts.

meta commentary. ban now.

Funny how the second the Silent Hill 2 remake turned out great, it “wasn’t their game” but every single discussion point before that was the crying that Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 was going to be a disaster. 

They really never, ever can just take the L and move on.

Another dumb post from the Cronos thread:

It's weird to blame people for reading the piece as presented

aka...


"Please don't blame us for immediately jumping on the Bloober hate train. We 40+ year old incel virgins just wanted to show what great allies we are to the women!" 

[NeppyNep]

Yes yes just consume the articles, don’t think for yourself at all or question anything in the article, about a developer that has forever been supporting progressive causes nope consume and move on BEEP BOOP

[benji]

"Reading the piece as presented" is doing such heavy lifting. They went with the framing of the tweet from a random dude who hates the company and then everyone read preconceived takes into the meaning, most of whom demonstrated that they also had hatred towards the company over irrelevant shit. And nearly every thread on there is like this. It doesn't even matter if it wasn't a joke because you can't get to "we hate women" from "the game doesn't present a feminist agenda" even if he meant that seriously. Every single person outraged presumed what they meant and to the most extreme position they could think of, even though there's a chance they didn't say it in English let alone in a way that referenced incredibly niche foreign meanings. How many posts were treating all Polish people the same and this xenophobia was completely tolerated?

You can always confirm your only theories if you only search for evidence to confirm it, which is how they went from that comment to "they're catering to chuds" to talking about how overly sexualized the ass in the game was.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

UGH! Just let me be outraged!

[benji]

UGH! Just let me be outraged!

We can't even play our video games in peace.

That's the extra funny part to me. That even if it was 100% serious it still wouldn't be a super outrage worthy take. And they're sitting there lamenting about how dangerous it would be if they couldn't be instantly outraged and consider nuance.

maybe if your beloved video game devs stopped being chuds it'd be a lot more easier

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

I hear all that, i do, but the original piece still should have been clearer that the game director was being sarcastic with his statements

Like I said, there's a reason "/s" is used as a universal qualifier for when sarcasm is being used; because it's tough to infer that from the original text sometimes.

In addition to that, and I don't mean this in a guilt-trippy way of any sort, but autistic people like myself can sometimes have a hard time interpreting sarcasm, which again is why "/s" or just qualifiying it with ("I'm/he's being sarcastic") goes a long way.

Just wanted to point that out as a general rule, not directed at you specifically.

when did /s become universal? 

I don't know, maybe journalists should be more careful about what they write or the people you follow on bluesky shouldn't jump to conclusions? No. It can't be that..

[Boredfrom]

No, it isn’t. Sarcasm may be difficult to detect in written form but that “/s” is fucking forum lingo you asshole.

[nampad]

I am not sure I got the whole Blooper situation right scanning through it quickly but it seems like one of the dumbest reasons to be outraged again.

It’s really sad that this isn’t something I can’t relate to because I am too old but because there are so many crazy people out there…

[Boredfrom]

I think it's absolutely understandalbe why so many people - especially those who belong to affected groups - are on edge when it comes to situations like this.

It's often a good idea to wait for more info before making a judgement, yes, but we should also extend our understanding to people who feel beaten down by the kinds of mindsets that the quote seemed to be encapsulating.

The way the quote is presented wasn't great, I can fully understand someone reading that and racting to it negatively especially in the current climate.

Statements like this, even if unintentional or poorly worded, mean a lot more to some of us than trying to win an argument on a forum or moral superiority. For those of us targeted by hate campaigns, it's even more hostility and attacks on top of what we get for even playing games and all of the people accusing us of overreacting. Plus, many of the people driving hate campaigns or attacking anything progressive are waiting on any kind of signal from devs that they agree so they can ramp up their attacks. We don't really have the luxury of pearl-clutching or faking moral stances when we can't even play video games in peace.

Motherfucker you all have been like this way before Trump.

the /s makes it okay

And they are going after literal allies for a quote that was pretty tame even for Reeee's standards. 

I was trying to read that story with my ResetEra goggles on and was having a hard time seeing the outrage. Virtue Signaling online must give certain people a dopamine rush.

I hope they and their families live in fear of retribution for the rest of their lives.

If the US ever manages to pull itself out of it's fascist nightmare, there needs to be Nuremberg-esque trials for these fuckers.

These people don't believe in due process. They don't deserve due process.

So one day you're on your computer (or if you use them more, your phone or gaming console) when sudden it decides to "eat" you. Your body begins to get sucked inside, being absorbed and turned into data. You find yourself being sent flying through the world wide web, you "fall" what feels like miles and miles and miles until you see a white light...

And then you wake up, find yourself in an odd forest, such as the trees being connected to the ground by power sockets and you see a giant red xenomorph looking stag beetle flying in the far distance. You also now have a little hand wrist device strapped to your arm and one-two eggs next to you that hatch, releasing one-two babies monsters (which you'll soon learn are Digimon) who act like you're their parent (and will follow you no matter what) and whom will quickly evolve into larger Baby-2 forms, then their child forms then eventually turning into adults (their evolution based on what you teach them, their personal wants and preferences and how well you treated them).

Your partner Digimon were born from the data about you on your computer; you will help them, teach them, be their friend and provider and in return they will protect you, help you and help you emotionally realize things about yourself and overcome issues liking anxiety, loneliness, self-worth etc.

Not that far is a Village called the Village of Beginnings, where Digimon live, run stores, run an Arena, a giant gym and a meat farm where a Tanemon grown steaks in the ground. You discover you're on File Island, an island the size of Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma together; that has MANY biomes from tropical, tundra, desert, temperate etc.

You also meet other Humans (who also have Digimon Partners), including Lili from the Tekken game series (remember Tekken and Digimon are canon with each other). You discover you like they have been brought here for a purpose; and that many Digimon have been losing their minds in an unexplained digital plague.
