I look after my wife, she has a number of disabilities including ME. Her immune system is crap due to the ME combined with her asthma which means even a mild version of COVID could be fatal. Which means going to the cinema is impossible to do. My work almost has to be remote now for health and safety reasons. Or lives have been changed forever.

Well at least no one can accuse LadyD of lacking self awareness.

[Jansen]

From constructive 

I mean, in the end it's pretty simple. Imagine you're in a conversation of three friends. You tell your friend you got a new iPhone, the first friend asks "oh cool what does it do?" and the third friend immediately interjects about how the phone was made by modern slavery and Tim Cook donated money to Trump. You want to continue the conversation you were having and show a cute video of a cat. Again, the third person interjects and tells you that cat actually died a couple of years ago. You then try to make a plan and suggest a place to eat. The third friend interjects telling you that they serve meat in that restaurant and how eating meat is animal cruelty and supports the aggro-industrial complex. You then talk about going the movies. The buzzer sounds, the movie features an actor that supported a cancelled person twenty years ago and it's being released by Paramount.



Yeah, these things are all true. But read the fucking room sometimes. Not every conversation needs to devolve into an exploration of the horrors of the world. The current reading of Resetera from an individual point of view is more and more devolving into "here is a regular ass thread" with a bunch of people immediately being that third friend being all "IM JUST ADDING CONTEXT AND SPREADING AWARENESS". Yeah, sure, but you're also making it a miserable experience and just like in a face-to-face conversation, you shouldn't be surprised that at a certain point people tell you to shut up so that they can continue having a conversation.

It's a forum, so you don't need to tell them to shut up to keep having your conversation, you can just keep having it.

To add myself to this already existing convo, I agree with you in a vacuum, but i would 100% be lying if I did not act like seeing this in a some threads just killed directly my interest to talk in it, whether it is about the positive or negative news I was getting. Having a thread go into 2 extremes of the emotional spectrum so many time is incredibly tiring.

Yeah, I don't want to read through the same slog of "Yes, every celebrity is actually a terrible person and you shouldn't participate in celebrity culture." posts every time.



As others have said in this thread, "you can just ignore it", goes both ways.

But the people making the posts aren't generally complaining about the people participating in the threads. It's the people complaining about the buzzkill posts about problematic elements of whatever that are doing the complaining, and generally resulting in the derails.



I do get it, this stuff can be a buzzkill to be constantly reminded about but the answer isn't to shuffle any and all negativity into their own threads.



It's a constant tension here trying to be a progressive place whilst also being a gaming forum, for example. The BDS thread following Microsoft's involvement and complicity in genocide is directly at odds with people being able to talk about one of the major bodies in modern gaming.



The uncomfortable parallel seems to be enough, my answer is mostly engage with the posts you want to engage with and ignore the others. Or ignore those users if you like. If people didn't bite on a post like someone highlighting Harrison Ford's relationship with Roman Polanski it wouldn't bea derail, it really would just be a PSA.



If people get annoyed at you not engaging with those posts and complain then they're derailing and you should report them.

But that's the problem, if you post it, and you know you're going to get that reaction, that's literally baiting a derail. What is the goal of posting if you know it's either going to be ignored or derailed?

And I'd say its a matter of being able to read the room and to realize that it's not always your duty to barge in to point out whatever is wrong with something. Too many people feel the need to be the "well actually, this thing is bad" person and then act annoyed that they're getting pushback. If the best solution you can come up with is just ignoring everyone, then this community is already broken.



Edit: also, "trying to be progressive" isn't equal to pointing out whatever is wrong with something. We can also assume 99% of us are progressive and understand sometimes people just want to talk about something without it becoming a showdown of who is the progressive.

Those kinds of posts either end up derailing a thread, or people do as suggested and ignore them, which leads to complaints about important information being ignored.

And they usually end up with the person getting ignored derailing even more and sometimes even implying posters not engaging are chuds/nazis/pedophile supporters etc. like it did in that Ford thread people linked

In cases like that report such posts. Behavior like that is obviously over the line and not welcome.



The majority of posts in the Ford thread were not like that though. It was rightfully mentioned that Ford is friends with and a supporter of a pedophile fugitive. Bringing attention to this fact in that thread is not derailment, it's valuable context. There was a large amount of posts in that thread of people who got offended by the mentioning of Ford's actions, and who actively mocked those who pointed out his problematic behavior. Said behavior is being friends with and supporting a pedophile, just so that we don't forget what this is about.



It's one thing to be annoyed by low level controversies muddying the waters in a topic. It's an entirely different thing to openly mock people who point out vile behavior like that.

The alternative solution proposed here is shuffling anything negative about a topic into a separate thread, which isn't a solution and will just end up with people sniping at eachother from different threads.



The bigger problem here is people complaining about people highlighting problematic things, like in the Ford thread. If noone engaged with it, it wouldn't be a derail, and if that poster keeps trying to derail report them.

At some point you need to admit that either you're posting for nothing, or you are trying to derail the thread. Because if you want nobody to engage with it because then it wouldn't be a derail, then why post it in the first place.



If your experience is "People get mad at what I post, and if I post it elsewhere, they just make snide remarks about people who would have gotten mad at them"... why are you posting it?

I presume the "you" here is the rhetorical one.



I didn't say the people who make these posts don't want people to respond, I'm saying that if you find posts, such as the one in the Harrison Ford thread, annoying or consider them derailing then don't engage with them. If the collective didn't do that, then there's no derail and no problem. In that thread tha major derail was people deciding they wanted others to know how much they were rolling their eyes.



The reasons people might post something negative in an otherwise positive thread will vary. Some people really do consider it a PSA, some people are just engaging in a discussion about the topic, and there will likely be some people who just want to antagonise.



We can't quarantine negative posts, because what constitutes negative or derailing posts will vary. You start tone policing the kinds of responses that are allowed.



If people are aggressively trying to derail then report them and they'll probably get actioned. If someone just posts something you don't like or didn't want to b reminded of, like Ford's associated with Polanski or Daniel Vavra's ties to GamerGate, that's simply part of having a discussion forum.

I don't have actual stats at hand, but I'd argue that the vast majority of posts on the entire forum are not ones actively responded to. Only a fraction of posts are quoted, and in those cases it's either two people having a back and forth within a wider discussion, or someone is getting dogpiled.



The derail in the Ford thread wasn't the person pointing out his problematic behavior. That was a perfectly fine post giving context to a beloved actor with a problematic past. The derail happened with multiple people actively mocking that someone pointed out Ford is friends with and supports a pedophile fugitive. I'll keep repeating this point, because it shows that even when it's actually an important point and disgusting behavior, there are still people (in that Ford thread, not in here) who'd rather mock and ridicule those who point out said behavior rather than self-reflecting and realizing that there's more to this than simply folks being mean to an actor.

I agree with you that people really get into their platform wars. I've witnessed throughout my forum years just how catty it gets. With me, it's more about what's enforceable consistently. Having forum users being able to say what they really want to say and moving around that structure just strikes me as more feasible, but I understand why overt platform warring is banned. But the current sneak dissing is arguably just as bad to my sensibilities.







If it's relevant to the topic, it should be permissable, even if it attempts to kill the vibes. And there are a lot of posters whose only aim is to do just that!



Ignoring it is all you can really do, even if those people or others pull the "I thought this was a progressive forum" canard out of their Disingenuous Rhetoric bag. People like that just want the conflict and smug sense of superiority, it's usually rather easy to tell who's engaging with a topic in good faith.

I think you're understating how often some users passive-aggressively attack other users in those topics who do ignore the derail and remain on topic.

Report 'em. Ignore 'em.



I can't say I see tons of it, but I've seen it happen.

Ofcourse its permissible. My point is that sometimes people could be a little more sociably aware. Like the example I gave with the annoying friend, there is a time and a place for everything and being morally right doesnt make you immune of being annoying and disruptive.

Well there goes my longstanding tradition of hanging out and streaming these PS games for/with my best friend. Once we run out, it's over. Fucking sucks. She had been looking forward to more God of War especially. Some of the best times we've had hanging out.

Kinda lame to see the console fandom aspects making people celebrate this shit online, but what can you do. All i want is for games to be available to the most people possible and for all works in the art form to have their best chance to spread to as many as they can. Too many people attach their damn identities to the plastic-encased silicon a corporation sells them. Games are more, should be more, than a dumb tribalistic fandom-war affair, and we certainly shouldn't assign so much importance to the capitalistic side of things - the corporations can handle that well enough on their own, they don't need the average person's support and defence in the matter.

I love how when Pc players are doing "dumb tribalistic fandom war affair" by saying Ps5 has no games and its useless, none of you guys said anything. I will never feel bad for Pc gamers, good riddance.

Sincere apologies if I was one of those men in there. FWIW, I did chat with a female friend about it after I posted, as someone who didn't really vibe with the first game as much as others. They explained some of the lore details and behind the scenes stuff that cleared up some of the confusion about the animosity I was seeing towards the upcoming sequel.

Don't do it. I have masturbated at work before, got caught and fired for it .

Spoiler: NSFWish
When I was in uni I used to work part time doing data entry. My friend (who was also my co-worker) showed me Viagra pills he had bought, and I took one as a joke*. Now, Viagra is not supposed to make you horny so I don't know what happened, maybe I psyched myself out, but I went to the stalls and rubbed one out**. Thing is, the stalls at this place were comically short***, so this, combined with the angle, caused a bit of the ejaculant to go over the stalls****. Unfortunately, someone was in the bathroom at the time and he happened to somehow take notice.***** Anyway long story short, I was fried shortly thereafter.

Does this motherfucker expect anyone to actually buy this bullshit?

*No you didn't. Take it "as a joke" I mean.

**This way always your plan. Masturbating at work - it's just a prank, bro!

***An obvious lie, but necessary to make the next part of the story believable (spoiler, it doesn't work).

****"Yeah, so unfortunately my fat load managed to escape the confines of the toilet stall I was in", he said, realistically.

*****"I was just silently wanking myself off in a way that absolutely no one could have possibly detected, but my high velocity ropes gave the game away."

Would've been slightly more believable of he said it went under the divider.

That place is so weird. You have these absolute caricatures of perverted sex pests that fetishize everything from a 10 year old squid person to a fucking Pokémon. One would think RE is like their safe space to talk about this shit. 

But then Benji pulls up their fucking LinkedIn profile and it is somehow even more twisted than their RE persona. 

“If I say that I might get banned at RE, let me just log into LinkedIn”

LinkedIn is probably the only place online that people are even MORE paranoid about calling out the weirdos than Resetera. 

HR are probably watching.

As someone in the industry this also concerns me, because I have definitely heard rumblings of certain companies feeling pressure to not be seen as "political", by removing "controversial" elements from games they're working on.

I am not sure we're going to see a huge backslide across every game or studio, but if you told me some decide to make their main character white instead of black, or a guy instead of a woman, or cut down explicit queer rep in their characters over the next few years, or just stop talking about diversity in general as part of corporate communications, I would totally believe it. Large corporations are cowardly and none of them want to be in the sights of the current political administration or have shareholders pull funds over "uncertainty."

Ah yes, coffeecat is in "the industry" now.

Do tell, what specifically have you "heard" in "the industry"?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-appreciate-being-able-to-work-a-hybrid-schedule-but-certain-wires-concerning-office-and-home-habits-are-getting-crossed.1453768/

I'm gonna tell on myself a lot here. I'm gonna need to respect the "we listen, but we don't judge" rule.

Unless the job requires me to be on on each day, every day, I'm not what you would call a great remote worker. I'll do what needs to get done, but I do end up zoning out and end up making the time up during the evening if I have to.

So with a hybrid schedule, I'm on point for maybe the first half of the week. The Thursday, Friday at home, I can give it a good 6 hours and tap out a little early if everything is done.

At work it's focus and good communication with coworkers.
Home, just enables some and habits.

I can have TV or YouTube on all day.
I can take naps for lunch.
I can take masturbation breaks.

But then some of those habits are crossing over into the first half of the week. My body almost expects me to take a lunch nap now. I get tired around 2pm and am just fighting sleep for the next hour or two. I'm capable of falling asleep sitting up. And kind of snore which just outs me as asleep. My coworker thinks I have narcolepsy.

I do need to sleep better. Ordered a new bed. My current one is sinking in the middle. Other factors like the commute do have me falling asleep in the evening which has me staying up later longer. Working on it.

And then regarding the other thing ...

We had that thread years ago about the amount of UK workers masturbating at work and I was in there making jokes asking people about their self control. I'm just gonna say, I get it now. I'm never gonna do it myself, but I have legitimately done pros and cons analysis and weighed the risks. Again, I'm not gonna do it, but I've put too much thought into it at this point to ever make fun of the people who have done it ever again. I spent 10 minutes today looking up Sara Stone clips on my phone to save for later, that was at 2pm. I'm now getting home at 8.

I'm worried this is gonna get worse.

First half of the week is so structured, second half is more I can do whatever I want. Streams are crossing.

Anyone else with a hybrid schedule relate to this?

Jesus fucking Christ

I can take masturbation breaks.

Huh. Did you really need to include that? Gross. You are way way over sharing here.

Oh I just read the rest of the OP.

STOP LOOKING AT PORN AT WORK.

Seriously. If this is a problem that is too temping for you maybe seek professional help.

I don't understand some of you lol. Why is so much of this post dedicated to at-home, during-work crank sessions? Why are you sharing with us which porn star you're archiving videos for later? The exact same thread premise could have existed without this.

Seriously. This is not normal and fucking gross.

And so many people are just glossing over it like it's normal.

The Elephant in the room is that you used your time at work to plan a masturbation session later in the day. That might be a symptom that you're developing porn addiction.

Please consider seeking professional help.
Masturbation is great and I too do sure love porn, but if you start being unable to compartmentalize your life and that starts spilling uncontrollably in your professional life or even in parts of your life that are not personal/private, that's an issue.

I feel like I set a tone with the first sentence of the thread. Also, tied it into a larger point.

What's not normal about it? I'm putting myself out here to be honest, not to be gross because I think it's funny. Its basic acknowledgement of something almost everyone does.

Huh. Did you really need to include that? Gross. You are way way over sharing here.

Sex is part of the human condition and there's nothing wrong with talking about it.

What might be a problem is looking up porn for later while in the office though haha.

Exactly.

The latter part came from me going, huh, that's a first. That's new territory, maybe a little weird.

Sorry guy, it sounds like you've got a porn addiction. Looking at porn at work, considering masturbating in the office and having problems working from home because you are too busy masturbating is weird. Please try and seek some help.

Okay, I'm not doing this with you and now you're just twisting words. "Masturbation break" did not suddenly turn into "having problems working from home because you are too busy masturbating".

Now you're just being condescending, completely unprompted while I was actually trying to be civil with you.

Moving on.

I entered the thread because "oh look, I also have some trouble working at home and I end up going somewhere to get shit done".

Then, out of nowhere, porn addiction. Or rather "save that stuff for later and having masturbation breaks" (????).

Seek some help, man. That's fucking gross but at least you're not doing that in the actual office.

Reactions on this forum are drifting farther and farther into gonzo territory. Threads like this, threads about tv shows or movies, everything is an extreme lately. Maybe it's the state of the world getting to people? Hard to say. But it's been noticeably sharp here over the last few months.

Heightened reactions to sexual talk in particular are prevalent lately in far more internet spaces than just this, with the porn addiction misnomer being thrown around in much the same way a TikTok comment section would call someone a "gooner". It's workplace-inappropriate behavior sure, but... so is everything else listed. That's the premise of the thread. I'll grant that feeling the need to mention a preferred porn star is TMI, though

Don't do it. I have masturbated at work before, got caught and fired for it .

Agreed. We've had threads far more explicit than this and didn't get some of these prudish, reactionary responses.

Right?!

And even if you look down on the story or think it's that bad, I can have a civil conversation with you, just don't be a jerk for no reason. That's all I can ask.

You literally say when you work from home you are masturbating on the clock because you can't control yourself and wait a couple of hours until you are done with work.

That is the same shit my guy. You are masturbating at work.

You outline how you are making fucking pros and cons lists about masturbating in the goddamn fucking office and looking at porn at work.

And anytime someone points out how that is t normal in this thread you deflect.

Seriously. Get help. You aren't going to listen to anyone here apparently. But maybe something will get through to you.

It's not just this thread. You have a pattern across several threads you've created that shows the signs of a porn addiction.

The thought isn't about orgasming, it's, I'll feel better after this.

The way you are phrasing your thinking around needing to do this is how am addict describes things.

I hope you can recognize that someday.

And before anyone calls me out again for being "prudish" or anti sex or whatever you are all saying that's not even close.

Looks like Iran is lashing out at every country.

Given Israel's form in this space, until an Iranian official confirms that they carried out a particular strike, we can't know whether it was Iran or Israel doing one of it's signature false flags.

Take the drone attack against the British RAF base in Cyprus. We're told it was an Iranian drone. Then we're told that actually we think it's Hezbollah that launched it. Now we're learning that officials understand that the drone came from Beirut. If they discover it was an Israeli false flag designed to draw the UK into the war, expect to hear nothing else about it.

This war is too chaotic and multi-party to be assuming anything.

The Cyprus thing always seems very fishy. You're telling me with multiple NATO warships, a carrier strike group, multiple US bases, Israel and UK forces on high alert a single drone will make it as far as Cyprus?

British and US fighters are scrambled from Cyprus to intercept missiles/drones flying to Israel over Iraq and Jordan but you want me to believe a drones flies from Iran or Lebanon to Cyprus and no one notices until it hit near the base?
