 User Banned (1 Month): Inflammatory Commentary; Platform Warring; History of the Same

While I love to call the Playstation player base cattle, a vast majority of people buying this aren't the ones "boycotting"

I'll wait until an exclusive (though wolverine is also exempt because insomniac wasn't adamant about keeping discs) releases and sells gangbusters to make fun of them

 User banned (1 month): Trolling, multiple recent severe bans for hostility and antagonizing behavior

Yeah no one should want a new doom under these circumstances and seeing people trying to spin this as a positive is disgusting and yet another example of some gamers being massive bootlickers.

This comments sounding like the r/Xbox mouth breathers thread spewing the lazy dev rhetoric. Gtf outta here.

Kind of a roller coaster. Have a well paid job that is interesting, aligned with my ethics (public service and not private sector) and I live in a nice home with my two best friends as roommates (by choice, it's the lifestyle I'm confortable with). So, I know my privileges. But, as years go by, managing my mental health (autistic, bipolar, GAD) and my physical health (severe case of chronic neuralgias) is tiresome. I'm better pain wise these last months so I stopped being on oxy and codeine, but chronic intake has made me foggy and I still have moments where I completely space out of the world. I also think i suffer from chronic autistic burnout. It's not the worst but I have troubles to find out what to do because even though it can look alike, I know it's not another major depressive episode, so I know it's not changing my mood regulator and antidepressant meds that will change anything. Also, have still troubles to control sugar craving, so I eat shit all the time and I'm slowly gaining weight recently.

And mostly, I'm so fucking full of anger and rage all the time. I have documented myself hundreds and hundreds of hours on the environmental, social, political and economical challenges we will have to face these next decades(even centuries probably) and knowing living the rest of my life will be seeing only the beginning of the collapse of the human civilisation at a global scale is making me so infuriated. Some days I want to go into full terrorism and kill the fucking top 1% of the top 1% who have fucked the rest of the world. I loathe bourgeoisie and aristocracy. I want to go Fight Club. I hate the mediocrity and stupidity of our "elites". I hate how the contemporary world is ugly, gross, monstruous, absurd. I hate how 90% of the people are suffering because of the greediness of the 1%. But as I am a fucking coward, I know the only thing I will do is try to be nice and caring about the people I love, try to put a little bit of sense into what I do, and try to distract myself while the world burns. I'm glad I'm not on Oxy anymore, but it's hard sometimes to not ask for a refill just to get numb and forget about all of this.

Remember when people here said the game is dead

Not really

Era's had look at the bitch eating crackers-itis for Palworld the second it blew up homeboy. And before release it was treated as the quaint, funny little Pokémon plagiarist game, which turned into righteous condemnation and clutched pearls once it made a bunch of money.

One guy with a T-Rex with a Mario hat avatar was feeling suicidal about Palworld's success.

[Disco55]

I'm also willing to bet anyone can find monsters designs in various monster tamers that are just as not more so similar to Pokemon. It is just that none of those games ever get much attention. Palworld has been the only one since Yo-Kai to seriously challenge Pokemon not only in just quality, but success.

Don't you see? Leaving the area directly over the heart completely unarmored is the safest way to dress! By exposing cleavage, I'm more protected. People instinctively avoid harming breasts.

you know what else is kinda funny, they love Muppet Christmas Carol (as anyone should) and as we were watching What About Bob I was like wait...this music sounds oddly familiar in some ways, just the way it's orchestrated, the way it flows

and I looked it up and What About Bob and Muppet Christmas Carol were both done by the same musician, Miles Goodman, only a year apart...makes sense since they're both involved with frank oz

and I swear you can hear little similarities

And they are doing it again because it's clear that it wasn't forgotten. (Though it has been hovering around 20-30 thousand, which is plentiful enough)

Aside from this, i'm glad for once in this country that a major corporation had gotten taken down a small peg or two legally. Nintendo's patients were absurd and should not had been approved in the first place.

Now they are saying that because they changed their designs it proves that they plagiarized the designs. Or that is only successful because the controversy and it was manufactured.

The Pokemon brand is being devalued because Pocket Pair are thieves and con artists not because Pokemon is not satisfying a demand. ScarVi is on track to become one of the best selling Pokemon games of all time (it already is, practically) and the whole franchise is still doing well. People are not flocking to Pocket Pair because of dissatisfaction with Pokemon, they're flocking to it because Pocket Pair manages to steal not just from Pokemon but numerous other better games in a way that creates a product full of things people find appealing—and why shouldn't they, they took them all from better games.

people are defending mike z online by trying to bring up that he's autistic, and boy lemme tell you

this is the most that people have defended autism in years

they're wrong of course, since autism doesn't make you say racist jokes or make you be a sex pest

Resetera “women” demanding functionality in fashion is peak high femme energy.

[Rendle]

Modern Warfare 2 boycott screenshot cope is always great. "But that's just the first page!!!". If more than 50% of the people on the first page were playing Modern Warfare 2, what do they think Pages 2 through 17 look like. "But steam pushes online players to the front, so a lot of those pages will just have offline people". Yeah, and what game do you think most of those offline people will be playing when they wake up?

It's telling that people on resetera get angry at being shown gamers are weak-willed virtue signallers. They talk a big game but at the end of the day they are Cyberpunk-2077-playing, Chick-fil-a enjoyers.

[Disco55]

Ironically enough, Pokemon Sword and Shield is another example. That whole Dexit thing? Not that that game was flawless or anything, but as it turns out people are fine enough not having every single pokemon on the roster when there are hundreds to choose from already.

So in a way Nintendo still won by forcing them to change them

   

did they "force" them? or did they do it without being told, to err on the safe side to avoid future lawsuits?

when you create some character, do all the companies in the world "win" and "force you" to design on tiptoes so you don't infringe on their designs? or is that just a natural part of creating anything?

Some more:
Grintale (which had Perrserkers face)
   

I think what pissed me off the most is people online and even some users here acting as if that face wasn't clearly copy pasted

it's a cheshire grin, nintendo copy pasted it from alice in wonderland

and no, it wasn't literally copy pasted, like using the exact same texture file directly from nintendo's games, it was just very similar

[HaughtyFrank]

Its dogshit that it happened, but its probably for the best that they did. I doubt things would be very safe for them had they disembarked even for just a short time unfortunately.


God I hate where we are headed.

Guy who thinks the middle East became homophobic yesterday. Only waiting for someone to blame colonialism

[Disco55]

Nintendo won. They just had to get negative PR, Palworld have 40 million players, Nintendo's patients have been dismissed and the US patients law are looking into their other patients. But hey Nintendo won..somehow.

I mean, of course I live in the most important time in all hundred thousand years of human history. Why else would I have been chosen to live now instead of some other time? Like what cosmic purpose would I have had in those times when the elites were brilliant and the contemporary world was beautiful and nobody suffered?

[benji]

The bulk of that forum believes in gods. And thinks that they walk the Earth in human form.

[Snoopy]

We’ll get definite proof of the Gods tonight if Connor gets his head kicked in

[DavidCroquet]

I find myself honing in on this point, which tends to show up in some form in any doompost you see on Era.

I hate how 90% of the people are suffering

[Boredfrom]

If anything, isn’t Palworld success while Pokemon thrives is sign that Pokemon is still a strong brand and the Mon Tamer is still an untapped genre? Shouldn’t we be happy that this two franchises are able to coexist?

[benji]

We had Eden as it was guaranteed to us by birthright. Then the cruel, malevolent gods came along, like Joanne and Joe Rogan and Elon and the collective nation of Jewish people and the algorithms and whites. They seized the Good Power and diffused it among the people and destroyed the works that said how to wield it. With no opposition they were able to oppress the entire world and force 99% of it into constant suffering, something we all know and experience at every moment all around us. Very much like when the Sith triumphed over the Jedi. Now we just need some minimum wage regular jane who not a single person around her realizes just how truly special and important she is to grasp the Theory and provide the leadership to unite the Good Power within the people to topple the evil gods hell bent on world destruction and restore our Eden. This is our true destiny and everything literally hangs in the balance until we triumph as prophesied.

Amen.

So Benji has read Woman on the Edge of Time!

Yup. The argument that being autistic means you don't know that it's not okay to grope a woman's breasts is one of those things that is deeply upsetting to me because not only is it straight up not true but it pushes the extremely harmful stereotype that neurodivergent people are inherently incapable of understanding morals or social norms.

Fuck Mike Z. Then, Now, Forever.

If he was someone that like, they would use the autistic defense and shame everyone  saying the contrary. And, obviously, they are ignoring the context of people giving the benefit of doubt because the suspicion that he was set up to get cancelled.
