Moral of the story for (biological) women:

Don't let crazy stick your dick in you.

As a rule they don't, which is why the reseteras have a burka thread I suppose

(PS I really enjoy your once in a while 200 word takedowns)

PPS: I have considered the evidence and it's most probable that Game Science people have learned how to women from Resetera

From the 'I've woken up from a toxic nine year relationship' thread... it just gets worse. So much worse.

He just wrote that most of his wife's family were killed when a Russian missile hit an aeroplane over Ukraine a decade ago!

She hasn't. Ever. But trust me if anyone needed one it's her. Remember one of those flights that got shot down over Ukrainian airspace a decade ago? I'm trying to be a little vague here. But most of her family was on that. There's no way that doesn't do something to you, no matter how strong you are. But she nor her sister ever needed help, always dismissed it.

I did tell her a few times that maybe she needed to talk to someone. But how dare I suggest that. If anyone ever needed to talk to someone it was me. Not her. She was fine. I was the one that was unstable

He's referring to this flight:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17

Quite a lot of people on Era disgust me. Kyuuji. Excelsiorf. Crossing Eden. VisaWife. CuckyCal. AnalSmasher. Brazilian cosplaying black supremacist Nepenthe.

But this guy really reaches a new sewer level of low. I haven't seen anyone this shameless, self-pitying and pathetic on there before. His wife has been through so much shit with him, has lost most of her family to a fucking missile strike... yet there he is, trashing her online just so he can get a few pats on the back about how much he has apparently suffered because of her.

Yeah dude. You clearly are unstable. No wonder she couldn't open up to you.

The only good thing for her is that the 2 kids aren't biologically connected to him. Hope she runs and finds true happiness. She's basically been supporting 3 kids for the past decade.

After reading that.. Thank you Jesus for making this man's dick not work.

Look at this Self-Congratulatory claptrap. 

NemesisTheory

I'm proud of you, and all the rest of you who shared their stories BTW, I do read them. All of you who went through all this and came out stronger on the other side. I hope I can stand with you all one day and help others who are in a similar mess as you are doing with me.

"Stay strong my fellow useless shit bags. I know cleaning the house is hard. May we all be able to get through this together."

I hope his wife takes him to the fucking cleaners. Though she probably won't get anything. The guy milked a broken leg for years. 

Even though I will miss Resetera when it eventually implodes, I'll be glad knowing they have one less place to go and get high fives for blaming everyone else for their problems.

[Jansen]

IDK why y'all are railing on that guy. Even though the story is one sided as fuck the relationship seems incredibly toxic.

Sucks that her family was killed but that doesn't justify being a bitch and if she didn't want to take care of him as he dealt with a severe injury she could have ended it herself at that point. If the child is basically afraid of mommy dearest then that's some fucked up shit 

If anything I'd give him shit about leaving his kids with a fucking lunatic, which if he does, makes him a gigantic POS.

Based on the information given it's not really fair to judge him so negatively.

Here's another perfectly normal relationship from RetardEra.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/datingera-this-isnt-like-one-of-your-animes.666/post-127294563

I have been with my current gf for 7 months now and we have been living together for 7 months. We have had our up and downs since. I recently joined a discord chat group from work that had her somewhat upset because there were some women also in this chat group, from work. We just talked some shit, talked shop and shared memes etc. We shared some instagram handles etc some followed me and i follow back.

Now today she sees i followed one of woman co-workers and she starts screaming tearing up papers, throwing out flowers, want break up etc. We have had some similar drama before because i didn't talk disclose some of my past and such which made her upset also before. She also thinks i am watching at every girl if we are outside in the city which makes her jealous and upset often also.She is pregnant due in february with my child and i want to stay with her and raise our child but this seems unsalvagable at this point? What should i do?

Damn, the game looks so cool but the people that make it really seem to suck. Definitely not in a rush to get it, easy to put things on the back burner especially in light of stupid stuff like stuff. I will say just nakedly saying "feminist propaganda" is so funny though, completely hamfisted and dumb.

“Bros…this game is misogynistic as fuck! I’ll just buy it on sale instead of full price, that’ll show them!”

[Snoopy]

if she didn't want to take care of him as he dealt with a severe injury she could have ended it herself at that point.

Maybe she tried but his crazy sister Bam Bam got in her way

I personally dont see the big problem, people should leave politics out of game reviews and simply review the game.

Yep. It pretty much comes down to this. Especially as more Chinese and South Korean devs step into the western AAA space, you're going to be getting more games from teams with absolutely rancid politics that people are going to do gold medal winning mental gymnastics to justify being onboard the hype train for the pretty new action game.

Mental gymnastics? Do they know people still buy games because they look cool?

Anyway my monke game preload just finished

lol, banned


They can't understand that the Chinese would have a list of no-no subjects to talk about for art created there.  I'm sure a friendly man from the government prepared that press release with rules and they could either have their social credit destroyed (this is not fascism, btw) or be good citizens. 

I can see all the sexist shit being an issue but do they not realize you can't just protest whatever you want in many other countries.  Just because they aren't the USA doesn't mean they are more enlightened.

If I had a plausible dying wish, it would probably be this:


I need the men in gaming to come out in droves and denounce this shit everywhere that they see it. I need the ones on the fence of "Well, I don't agree with their politics. But, it's a fun game" to take a long, hard look into the mirror and realize, to reflect, that your nonchalant attitudes and platitudes are also doing harm to the very women in gaming that you think you're supporting.


Because you're not supporting us. That's the truth of the matter. You're just not. We do not need the wishy-washy feelings of "This developer fucking sucks! But, we need to separate the product from the creator" or "I am tired of the politics surrounding the gaming industry". I don't need this. I need you to take the developer by the balls and not buy their product. I need you to stop buying into bullshit and skewing your moral compass because the action combat is fun or the graphics look phenomenal for a new AAA. I need your spine. Your grit. Your tenacity. I need you to stop being weak.

Pretty sure this is a biological male too

[benji]

Yup, all of this, basically. Stellar Blade got a pass from most folks around here, this thing will get a pass, but empty sentiments will continue without fail.

Seeing people in this very thread bending over backwards to try and justify the memo sent to influencers or attempting to argue that it's being misinterpreted is just maddening. It's not like this is the first time shit from this studio has made its way out but folks determined to play this game and talk about it still feel the need to try and play devil's advocate so they can sleep better at night and tell themselves they're still good, ethical allies.

None of us are perfect in regards to the shit we consume and these days it can often feel like consuming and enjoying entertainment of any kind usually means having to be uncomfortably morally flexible in some way or another, but cases that are so clear cut like this shouldn't require this much discussion. This company is trash. They've made their stance clear. You buy this, play it, support it, that's where your moral barometer really lands, not wherever you think it lands based on some half-hearted platitudes you post on a video game forum

Would a "good, ethical ally" buy any video games? Or talk about them at all?

[Boredfrom]

"I am tired of the politics surrounding the gaming industry". I don't need this.

But I NEED THIS.

[benji]

Anyone who isn't prioritizing my interests at all times shouldn't consider themselves ethical.

[Uncle]

I haven't been following this at all, what is sexist about the game, or what did they say

I saw something about getting licked and then something about how that was a mistranslation of a chinese phrase

the sheet sent to reviewers(?) doesn't seem bad to me? it's not even advancing any particular ideology on its own, it just says NOT to bring up feminist propaganda, and isn't even specific about what that means, it sounds like they didn't want any fucking annoying ass politics associated with their game at all

[Uncle]

the 9000 IQ stance is that you said years and years ago that you were boycotting anything associated with China due to the actual genocide of the Uyghurs, AND the earlier-than-agreed-upon oppressive reclamation of Hong Kong, nothing has happened to fix either situation, and boycotts don't go away just because a cool new game came out that you want to play

don't buy it just because doing so contributes to the advancement of China and its frankly dangerous culture and ideologies, however small an advancement that may be

[benji]

It's just typical Western imperialist attacks on the revolutionary vanguard of the Global South. Frankly, the real complaint should be the lack of mandating readings of Xi Jingping Thought in the coverage.

[malfoyking]

If this game sells well, lol. My favourite part of this whole thing is when they find something they cant control and then freak out completely. Zenless Zone Zero (Not as bad but these assholes complained too), Stellar Blade and now Black Myth Wukong. 

They are so used to winning all the time that when its something they cant control, they just freak out and throw endless tantrums.

Based on the information given it's not really fair to judge him so negatively.

I'm gonna guess that the truth is that they're both toxic, fucked up people, and they did the noble thing of bringing two innocent children into the world to fuck them up with a toxic upbringing. The whole thing is sad, honestly.

[LegendOfSwagda]

these codes given out are basically part of the advertisement budget and thus all of the restrictions make a lot of sense.

idk if the company is full of incel women hating low lifes or not but regardless, I am sure they don't want their game shown off by people who will bring that or any other "issue" up.

Era lives in such a bubble that they cannot fathom that sometimes you can't always say or do want you want and expect everyone to be okay with it. Part of the privilege of getting these codes is to stfu, play the game and keep it moving.

Lot of era members have spent most of their lives being told they were a special snowflake and never got popped in the mouth for speaking out of turn and it shows.

What do you mean by this? I think the OT is pretty clear and you can follow the thread via the threadmarks.

As is your post comes across as dismissive of the issues, but I think it's reasonable to take it in good faith as genuine confusion.

I don't know about the issues sorry I'm genuinely asking.

I don't use the forum that much.

[Greatness Gone]

“good faith”

“bad faith”

“just maddening”

“absolutely rancid”

They all sound like fucking robots. Where do they even get this lingo from
