[Orange Juice Box]

I was hoping for a deep dive, a la Avatar/Cameron, from the wokerati concerning Scorsese and Flower Moon.  Something where they notice all the anti-native american hidden messages in Goodfellas or pro-FBI glyphs in Mean Streets.

I boycott thousands of games every year.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

No. I'll buy it if I want to play it. - 78 42.4%

you're not slick, Coldsun. 

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

No, games are made by hundreds if not thousands of people who are normal folks just trying to earn a living.

Hear that whistle? Must be a JDAM. 10 trans folks were just killed.

I feel for The Albatross. He's trying to actually have a conversation and bring some semblance of awareness but doesn't realize that isn't the thread to have it.

Hot takes is all that matters there. 

Do not feel sorry for him. He is as bad and spectrum-locked as any other beast of the forums, but the tragedy is at first glance he appears to be a normal person with not-unhinged opinions. This is a false view, for a normal human couldn't post that many chunky paragraphs of absolute fence sitting on a daily basis.

OP

Seeing the Cyberpunk thread back and some people saying that won't buy Cities Skylines 2 and a lot of other controversial games over here, I would like to know. Have you ever boycotted a game? Which one?

Did I miss something or is this just Resetera being resetera?

Just realized zeoVGM can't talk about Loki season 2 with the other MCU maniacs on resetera

ZeoVagina is unhinged af...3 months ban.  We really need to pay attention to the news.

Fuck Israel and its colonialist allies always and forever. A settler colonialist apartheid nation with a 75 year history of genocide against the native indigenous people of Palestine.

Hopefully for this:

Reports, including graphic testimonies, say that Chechnya has arrested and tortured hundreds of LGBTQ+ people, and killed at least three. Chechen officials, on the other hand, claim that these international media reports are false, because “you cannot arrest or repress people who just don't exist in the republic.”

The Camarilla handbook, which has now been delayed by approximately three weeks so that these sections can be edited out, explained that Chechnya is run by vampires, and described the atrocities as “a clever media manipulation." It reads: "While homosexuals are indeed held in detention facilities for days, and humiliated, starved, tortured, and eventually fed upon and killed, this is not the point. The point is to distract from the truth of what Chechnya has become."

In other words, the real-world imprisonment, torture, and murder of LGBTQ+ people is presented as secondary to the political goals of fictional monsters, simultaneously downplaying the human tragedy and erasing much of its context.

I read that four times Benji. I still don't know what any of that means. 

Did you ask ChatGP to give you a resetera post?

The devs recently announced that the game will ship with unoptimized performance and get patched later, so I'm guessing he means that

Now I feel less bad that Paradox is collapsing. While tasteless, it was not worth going scorching earth.

59% of cis "allies" showing their asses:

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

The boycott thread is close unless we count "Yes. But eventually I played the game (renting, buying used or something like that)" being the same as "No. I'll buy it if I want to play it."



Sorry but even buying used is still supporting a person who bought it full price.   
Cis "allies" can't be without their precious video games.

Hi-Fi Rush
Zelda and now Mario Wonder
Spider-Man 2

All 3 platforms have delivered hard af for me this year

Note that he hasn't played 2/4 of those games. And note that he says "have delivered hard af for me" in the past tense.

That's right, they've delivered him good metacritic scores, he's here mostly for the number

I was playing Wonder last night and it's videogames alright. It's the game design equivalent of having unbelievably good boobs and then trying on different outfits then doing a decathlon.

I mean, even the biggest proponent to get ERA to "boycott" a game, Cyberpunk 2077, new game+ it in the end.
So forgive me for not taking calls/claims of boycotting games from ERA seriously.

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Hey now.. They were playing it to get a better grasp of the controversy. It's not as if they enjoyed every minute of it! It was for the cause!

Surprised Kyuuji doesn't have anything to say about boycotting Cyberpunk

Surprised Kyuuji doesn't have anything to say about boycotting Cyberpunk

She's boycotting boycott threads, reminds her too much of the genocide
