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.

Handy way to get around workplace laws.  "Did you just make that employee work a 24 hour shift?"  "Well actually they are 4 different workers who just happen to share a body".

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?

Speaking of Cyprus, why are none of these lefty cunts concerned about the occupied lands there?

The world watched the subhumans invade, kill and take land away from the indigenous population. Why are they not out protesting that for a change?

He wants this to happen. That way he can declare a state of emergency or martial law and steal/cancel elections or some other unconstitutional power grab.

They are going to blow us up, blame Iran, stop elections

The one thing he learned from zelensky was that if the country is in martial law, then no elections needed

Have you confused me for someone else? What is going on.

Weird seeing some of the takes in here. A lot of people are bringing up how many Canadians are racist. Yes, that is true, unfortunately. But what does this have to do with the poll? Could this have varied by race? Maybe, but people aren't racist because they think that the majority of other people of other races are bad people. They're racist because they are ignorant and uncomfortable seeing people who don't look like them or follow their religion. They want to be around "their own kind". That's shitty enough on its own, but it doesn't necessarily mean they think that people of other races are bad. They just don't want them around. Again, it's reprehensible, but for different reasons.

I'm still not doing what I want to be doing, I gave it up to look after my mother, and now I'm married with a mortgage and I can't chase my career anymore. I just have to stick with whomever wants to give me money to do stuff, and I don't think there's much I wouldn't do (my wife probably would divorce me if I became a prostitute or a cam-person/porn star so that's probably out).

Not just "do porn", but become a "porn star".

“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. 

They get way more attention and affirmation on LinkedIn. I had to cut it off because all of those posts had same pose selfies attached and I just wanted to copy the text, but all of those insane posts had a bunch of likes (sometimes like 20-30) and often comments like "so glad to hear that", "it's so important you speak out", "you're so strong sophie" under them. To be fair, many of the comments were either from other trans people or those weird office women who upvote and praise everything on Linkedin.

The only post I saw with any dissention was one where Sophie was attacking Joanne and saying all women against trans women are in a cult, some dumbass dude tried to bring up their lived experiences with men. WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT MEN, TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN.

Sophie seriously makes some post about trans shit on there like every single day.  

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.

    

In other countries people would be marching towards the seat of government demanding his resignation right now.

Also, pretty sure you are also from Mexico… why we never do this?

I have no idea where they get this belief about other countries. Like either they must believe that every other country in the world is constantly having mass protests that travel hundreds or thousands of miles on foot or every other country in the world has their leaders doing nothing worth protesting. There really aren't that many mass protests that you can't keep track of this and most of them don't even end with the ouster of the person being protested. (There's almost no examples of protests in your lifetime ousting someone with institutional support.)

trans folks already have a high chance of suicide, you don't need to add the porn star suicide rate to that.

Please, sex work is not worth degrading yourself. You can find fulfillment outside of empty sex. 

This isn't even shitposting. :(

[benji]

A lot of this "sex work" seems to consist of posting "lewd" pictures on friendly subreddits. Cherry Soda Princess was clothed in most of his I looked at except for a butt shot he posted on r/Upskirts. He even posted the same clothed picture in a bunch of trans subreddits for praise about how "feminine" he looked in it. Though I didn't click to unhide even half of the pictures, like most lazy trans lewds it's amusing to look at because you can see their living area they do nothing to clean up or otherwise make presentable before taking pictures in. Also the hilarious awkward contortions they think make them look "sexy."

It's also very unlikely they realize that 99% of actual women don't make any money on OnlyFans or similar, presumably even the legitimate escorts and porn stars use it more as advertising than where they make their actual money. I have to imagine the people who do "best" on these sites are just regular exhibitionists who aren't trying to make it their sole income business and do it more for the love of the game. That's how YouTube/Patreon/etc. mostly works. 

That's not even touching on the work ethic you need that most of these posters clearly have no interest in. The "sex work is real work" chant was supposed to touch on this, that it's not just lazily doing what you'd do anyway because you're a big slut. There's effort involved or you're out of business. The porn stars they see and think they can be are an elite, who consistently get there on time and ready, in an industry where 99% are failures (presuming the goal is to "make it" as such, something we know is doubtful) nobody ever saw. Same as every other industry, with regular acting and sports as reasonable comparisons regarding the hidden effort involved.

(calm and reasonable request)

"They're so desperate!"

Nah. What's sad is using this non-story to push a weird and toxic agenda.

Are they going to wait to take peoples money until the endgame map is available?

Would you say this if they asked reviewers to complete the single player campaign in a game before reviewing it?

It goes without saying that a reviewer should basically complete what's available at the time of review

I think it goes without saying that the type of game can change that outlook.

For example, I think a review of an MMO expansion is more valid if it waits until the endgame raid is available so that the entire package is considered.

Sure but the point is that it is a strange request to make. Whether intended or not, it reads as "the content in the game right now is not great but in a month or so it will be much better"

It only reads as that if that is how you want to read it.

If you know anything about games like this, then you know that delayed endgame content is delayed for a reason and should be considered part of the overall package.

If the end of the single player campaign isn't in the game yet, then yeah.

Not the same thing and you know it.

You made the poor comparison, not me.

No, I made a fine comparison.

You're the person who brought up single-player vs multiplayer in the first place?

Yes, I'm aware. And they twisted it into a scenario where the single player game itself was unfinished, which is clearly not what I said or implied.

It's perfectly understandable for developers to ask critics to review the game in full. There is no embargo and no one is beijg forced. It's an understandable ask.

Their post made complete sense.

You can just apologize and admit you were wrong, rather than move the goalposts because someone disagrees with you.

It really actually didn't, cherrypicking a specific review to make a point that has already been refuted by others (including people who review games themselves) is hardly a good faith argument.

No need to be patronising either

Nah, you don't get to say this after accusing someone of having a biased opinion because they're a fanboy.

I replied to you being patronizing.

So according to Rains, Marathon was #18 on PSN as of 20 minutes ago.

According to you, Marathon was #17 as of 8 minutes ago.

And from what I am seeing, at this very moment, it is currently #8.

So it's almost as if referring to this chart only six hours after a game launched at 1 PM on a Thursday to claim that it's not selling well and imply that Bungie made this request because of said poor sales is completely meaningless, if not purposefully disingenuous.

For one, its literally #12 in your screenshot.

Two, what region is this? RE9 is #1 in basically every region, so its a bit interesting that WWE 2k26 is #1 in this screenshot. Also... wheres fortnite? Theres no shot siege is doing better than fortnite.

Edit: I have a sneaking suspicion this is cutting off a row of 5. Which means it’s also #17 in this screenshot.
