Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

Let's be honest here these nintendies would be all over this game if it was on the switch.

or just making sweeping statements of the thread being full of misinformation without being clear on what that misinformation is or what's wrong about it.

Why would they? You already made clear the dude is 100% right, that is inherently bad to trace pokemon (and somehow this affects artists) and you are not mad enough to go to shit every palword thread (even there were bans for derailing). Nepenthe being there and breathing above everyone necks dont help.   

It really blows my mind that you guys dont seem to understand why everyone dismissed Byo (whenever he still had a point or not) when you are the same posters that bitch when anyone shares information from a source you dont like (even if is correct).

It's extra funny because just one page earlier he's mad at a guy for only correcting misinformation in the defense of palworld

If there's any point where you tried to correct "misinformation" that wasn't in Palworld's favour, I haven't seen it, presumably since it's buried in so much of you carrying water for Palworld. You don't seem to have expressed any thoughts on the misinformation floating around about scaling, for example, despite several pages of people coming in and being confused about exactly that and the issue being obvious to any who has even touched a 3D model. The only thing that I can find pointing to you having a more neutral stance is you just insisting that you have the same stance that we all do while at the same time saying that we're all lying at every turn.

This is a major part of why this argument is heated. When one side of the conversation is so regularly dishonest that they can't even bring themselves to admit what their position is, it becomes difficulty for us to to respect their positions.

As if it the thread needs anymore people who attack the game, that's obviously well taken care of. And whether the game actually directly stole assets or just copied designs is like a huge difference as the former is going to get the dev sued into poverty.

It's very shady thumbnail but god help you if you think using an avatar is slanderous 

[Boredfrom]

Isn’t that the whole point of that account? Being anonymous to not deal with pal world fanboys with your main account and to wash your hands in case that Palworld did nothing illegal? 

Like that developer in a gaming article that said that “he would take an oath in court” to say that Palworld stole assets but refused to give his name.

[railGUN]

How many posts does Nep have in the Microsoft layoff thread? You’d think she’d be all over that like stink on shit, considering how prolific she is in threads as innocuous as a rich guy curing the blind and providing clean water to the poor.

Mate, I'm just saying it's insincere to handwave this entire thread as being misinformed when the general consensus lies in Palworld's undeniable plagiarism -- an allegation backed up by receipts upon receipts of evidence that won stop printing. You'll forgive me for assuming you're not operating in decent faith when you're pushing lazy "both sides!" rhetoric rather than showing your work. (See L Thammy 's post.)

Again, I ask you, what is the narrative? 'Cause I'm only seeing one such example, and it's a false one propagated by constant drive-bys more than an actual "side" here. There's plenty to laugh about with this controversy -- the shameless plagiarism is innate comedy until itself -- but frustration is natural when bad-faith/ignorant misinformation dominate the discourse.

YUCK at that main character. Fuck these devs.

The female characters are really unpleasantly sexualised and the art looks awful. Can't see myself being able to, or wanting to look past that.

I've cancelled my ResetEra premium membership over the admins being completely silent over the last few days regarding how they've handled the ABK news. As I've said before it's an open secret in the industry that Era is openly hostile to devs and I think this further cements that.

I hope they can gain some insight as to why that might be based on all of the community feedback they've gotten but this isn't the first time this has happened with basically no changes or admission of any fault. It's a real fucking shame.

Subscribing to that shit in first place makes you the bigger dumbass in this situation tbh

He was interviewing a Yemeni "pirate" yesterday. Not a common perspective to get.

If this site didn't hold animosity towards Hasan this would have gotten a thread. This is a really good and funny interview.

This interview with the Yemeni "pirate" sure has opened the flood gates once again from Destiny and his hanger-ons (Vaush, DylanBurns, Lonerbox etc.) to attack.

Pirate in quotation marks too.

[kaleidoscopium]

That interview with a pirate is some of the most cucked shit hasan has ever done. He spends half the interview asking him about one piece, anime, and American actors. Fucking wackadoo

I mean, you already had the Pro Hamas thread.

User threadbanned: blatantly ignoring the rules of the thread, inflammatory accusations toward staff.

Just to be clear, openly advocating for terrorist attacks on civilians gets you the same length of ban as pointing out mistakes have been made on the merger thread.

That doesn't seem like an appropriate response, or inline with the guidance posted so far. Given the level of turmoil the forums currently undergoing, it would be really good to see a response to the overall issues raised here.

The level of user on Era is through the floor


https://www.resetera.com/threads/does-the-wire-gets-better.809934/

I watched the first episode. It was good but nothing made me want to watch the other episodes. Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul were more immersive to me. Is it always like this or it gets better?

You watch one episode (and I bet they spent time on their phone whilst doing that as well)  and decided to make a thread asking if it gets better?

He shouldn’t be allowed to watch The Wire. He’s too stupid to understand it. He should be banned from ever being able to see it. In fact he should be punched in the face every time someone mentions it on the internet.

Given the level of turmoil the forums currently undergoing,

You mean the self-inflicted sperging? From Hogwarts to Palword, it's like they deliberately pick the losing position on any issue these days just to play the victim.

Newsflash: Drinking Fanta still more popular than drinking your own piss

Member1: OMG I can't believe they all drink that Nazi shit instead of their own piss

Member2: Of course the chuds drink it, I'm so dissapointed in Richard Leadbetter from Digital Foundry, he had a diet coke in episode 39 timestamp 34:32 in the DF Direct

KY2K: I always knew something was up with that guy, I'll never watch their content again

Banned: antagonizing other members transphobia
GamerGuy: Seriously, drinking your own piss? What's next shitting in a litter box?

Neurodivergent: WHAT THE FUCK I can't believe you just casually transphobic

NepNep: Some of us could never trust the water out of our pipes considering all the plumbers were white. Yall can kiss my black ass I will keep drinking piss

Bootlicker1: Hear hear, bottoms up!

B-Dumbs: SIGH it is really exhausting to deal with you people. For the last time, some members may or may not drink piss and have very good reasons to drink their piss based on their background and culture. I will re-open the thread once we've reviewed the reports.

I remember when Elon used to complain about political bias on Twitter.

I remember when Era said it was fine because it was a private platform.

[kaleidoscopium]

I remember when they acted like you could trust someone with a blue checkmark, and now you can't because you can pay for one. And then it was revealed that you could pay for one back then too, now they're just open about it.

Mass cancellations are probably the only way to get them to respond at this point, but that won't happen because most people either don't care or aren't subscribed. I was actually going to but I obviously won't now.

Going to have a big guess which one of the two it is.

How is the accusation inflammatory when it's objectively true and verifiable?

Look at these fucking idiots blaming deep rooted systemic economic problems on a politician who only got voted in a few months ago

https://www.resetera.com/threads/argentina-inflation-surges-past-200-as-economic-crisis-bites.804840/

Nothing more libertarian ideas couldnt fix.

Why would libertarian ideas cause mass inflation? You don't have to defend them as positive but I think you have to recognize, like basically every economist or whatever agrees, that if anything they're deflationary not inflationary.

Who, specifically, are the low information folks getting angry on both sides? I can imagine it on Twitter because it's Twitter and there's no standards being applied, but I don't think even the more active members in this thread are angry about the topic. Like Nepenthe has the most posts in this thread and has stated at several points that she doesn't really care about Pokemon's IP being protected, she's just critical of the denial of the fundamentally obvious and how this is just a visible case of a greater movement to throw artists under the bus for commercial interests. I don't think I'd frame that as "angry"
