And like if Kojima actually had something to show, okay, fine.

But this was eight minutes of Geoff and Jordan Peele giving him a handjob on stage and telling him what an amazing genius he is. That's the part that sucks - it's JUST to feed Kojima's ego.

The mod who issued the ban here definitely had their dick out when Kojima was on stage.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Hostility; History of the Same

Also my only post addressing you and I said "not shocked you're defending this." Since you know, you're a Bama fan. No need to read into it anymore than that.

So, yeah, you don't know the half of my opinion. Just projecting based on "you're a Bama fan".

I wasn't on the committee, dickhead.

As Goldeneye said nobody seriously thinks Travis should win the Heisman. It's just poking fun at how ridiculously nonsensical it all is.

But if, say, Michigan had lost their starting QB at the end of the tOSU game, would they have been left out? Or if Texas had lost their starter and barely squeaked by Okie State with a 3rd string?

We know the answer, right?

I appreciate you admitting I'm right. Thank you.

We don't know what would've happened with Michigan or Texas, as we have no idea how their backups would've performed. So, no, we don't know the answer.

User Banned (1 Month): Inflammatory False Equivalence; Reverse Racism

Dude says one word in the trailer and people are already asking for him to be cut or saying they won't buy the game because of this character. Really weird reaction from some folks around here.

This forum reacts the same way actual racist/reactionary gaming forums do, except they'd say the same thing about a POC protag. A ton of posts about Jason's ethnicity and politics already and as you said, we know nothing about him.

Goku can beat Superman.

Yeah but who has a bigger schlong

More importantly, why didn't Superman stop the genocide in Palestine?

Same reason the yts and capitalists in the real world like Taylor Swift don't stop it. It's what they want.

First Blood "Rambo" is excellent. Man vs man, man vs nature, man vs self. Has more to it than the movie. The cave scene was much greater. Then of course, the finale. Such a memorable read.

Just received news that the IDF has killed Refaat Alareer, along with his brother, sister and her children.

I'm at a loss for words.

EDIT: We're not allowed to share random Twitter posts, but I wanted to share this beautiful piece by Refaat, written just days before his murder.  

Found out this guy had way better tweets:





He also liked telling people to Do Better:

I'm reluctant to call any cishet a hero, but when the shoe fits... I wonder if this guy might have even been an egg and didn't know it before the collective nation of Jewish people deliberately silenced him.

[HaughtyFrank]

No one deserves to die because of some tweets but also insane that this guy is lifted up as one of the noble voices from Palestine. Michael Martin was already calling for a ceasefire on October 7th and this guy was mad about it

The Houthis have been attacking Israeli commercial ships, and threatened to attack any ship headed to Israel

Most countries would want to take military action against that

To clarify this : they have been attacking ships they believe belong to Israelis (most if not all have very tangential connection to Israel if any) and have tried attacking the city of Eilat a few times.

thank you for clearing that up, if they believe those ships belong to the jews then its ok to bomb them  

Within the first 30 seconds when asked about the men rounded up and stripped: "First of remember its the middle east and its warmer here especially during the day when it's sunny, to be asked to take off your shirt might not be pleasant but it's not the end of the world".

He has zero morals, he thinks we're all fucking clowns too

User Banned (1 Month): Dismissing Concerns of Homophobia; Antagonizing Fellow Members; Account in Junior Phase

This is an unhinged post. They don't deserve to be accused of homophobia for the simple statement that they made.

I also agree with them. Most video game romance options are pretty cringe and I feel like it detracts from the characters/stories (regardless of being optional). It has fuck all to do with the sexual orientation of the characters.

Don't miss how they are losing their shit over not enough queer romance options.

In a Warhammer 40K game.

The inclusion of romance options at all in that world's atmosphere is absurd to begin with.

No Adepta Sororitas romance, no buy. Apparently the game is pretty abysmal for queer players.
https://www.thegamer.com/warhammer-40000-rogue-trader-lgbt-romance/

However, when I mention that gay men or players roleplaying a gay male Inquisitor are disappointed that there is only one, unpalatable romance option available to them – the only possibility is an alien terrorist, who you may not even recruit – the mood in the Discord call gets immediately frosty. Straight players, male or female, already have at least three options, while lesbian players suffer a similar issue to gay men with just one bisexual character to romance, an incredibly generic banker. At least she's not a terrorist. No sooner have I asked whether Owlcat would implement more LGBT+ romances into the full game, executive producer Anatoly Shestov jumps in, audibly defensive, as if to shut down any perceived accusation of homophobia from Rogue Trader's gay fans.

Woof.

I bet they will change that over time or they going to lose a lot of goodwill. Oh well, still waiting for Wrath of the Righteous to be fully done. I expect this to have plenty of DLC and such over the coming years.

I was worried about this when 40k was announced as the world for their next game. That universe just reinforces backwards, regressive thinking. I do hope the ones that exist are built upon the work they did in WotR.

I don't mean to dismiss others concerns

People who say that usually mean to when it comes to the concerns of LGBT people

Not really. It's blame that on the studio, not the franchise.
There are gay couples and non binary characters to be found in the stories/books.
I mean, Space Marines have a lot of homosexual energy to begin with if you read the books.

GW is surely not to blame.

Ew. So, they're homophobic.

lmfao, this is nothing. A nonanswer.
Jumping in to chime that they're totally not homophobic they swear?
(They are homophobic.)

Edit:
Please put this in the OT for the game (and thread mark this, please Uzzy Jawmuncher.)

I wanted this game so bad, but now?
No.

Not a big fan of seeing [USER=8191]Crossing Eden[/USER] 's harmless fun thread being derailed to the point of basically forcing him to close it.

Was a gentle reminder that I skew younger community wise. I'm not too fussed about it. I appreciate the concern tho, I just figured given how the thread was going that people should be forced to have better things to do on a Saturday night then pretend to be miserable oldies. Complaining about Tiktok isn't a substitute for coming to terms with aging. Let alone the faux "I'm so old" discourse. Hopefully they get the picture. 🤷‍♂️

People feeling old because a game has a dance emote lmao. May as well start digging if that’s what’s got you lost lol.

I was just about to reply in the thread when I noticed it was locked, you're all so cool for being too old for dancing lol. I feel you, I'm 25 (and have been here since I was 20) and can't stand all that "What's a Tikky Tok?" energy you'd expect from your 80 year old grandpa every time there's a thread that causes it.

Hopefully this doesn't warrant a warning for a derail or anything, but fuck do I hate when anyone says something along the lines of, "UGH I'M SO OOOOOOOLD AND THEREFORE DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS."

1) You totally *could* understand it if you took some time to look into it.
2) If you don't want to learn about it, feel free to just not post in a thread about it and ignore the thread if you need to.
3) If you don't want to learn about it, and you feel the need to still post about that in the thread, you're just showing off how proud you are to be completely ignorant to the topic at hand. Which, like, you do you, but willful ignorance sure is an interesting stance to take.

Also it's always so interesting how those comments tend to show up around topics that concern younger generations, marginalized communities, or a combination of both. 🤔🤔🤔

The question I want to know about Crossing Eden's thread is is this - Would younger people have posted in it had it not been thrown off by a bunch of people, who are not the clearly not the target of said thread, posting about it?

There are lots of threads here that I don't get / I don't care about.

I just don't post in them. Those derails are always annoying.

Yeah like there's an endless amount of threads with random comic updates for characters and stuff. I just ignore them, but a fortnite emoji seems on par in terms of what type of thing the thread is.

This is somethig i noticed as well, you get a vibe that if a thread or topic isnt aimed specifically at a white, 30s to 40s American or European demographic, it often gets clowned on or people acting like its the end of world becuase someone not them is into said thing

I really don't care about tiktok. I just don't understand the appeal of dance when it lacks any emotion and it created purely for marketing. It's like looking at AI art to me.

As someone who IS directly affected by AI art that's a pretty offensive comparison.

I never quite understood this type of gamer, kinda scares me tbh

How do you mean?

It's a post-apocalyptic scavenging MMO. PvP is often one of the main tenets of games like this. What's scary about someone wanting to engage in that?

I don't know, just the type of players who really put a lot of value in being able to kill any character in a game. I don't see it too often but there were some folks who'd say "I can't even shoot at the pedestrians, bad game".

That one example probably wasn't meant to be that way, but it just reminds me of that type of people. Sorry, I could've been reading too much into it.
