“OMG STOP SPOILING THE 23 YEAR OLD STORY!!”

I simply would avoid the thread discussing copies of the full game and POTENTIAL STORY SPOILERS and wait for reviews on Friday if I wanted to find out how the game turned out, but that’s just me. Easier to expect everyone to cater to you not having played the 23 year old game, I guess.

Yeah, I’ve never played it, completed Silent Hill 1 at the weekend so I’m excited for this and simply ignoring everything about the game until I play it, it’s not hard lol, don’t wonder into a thread about the game if you don’t want anything spoiling

How hard is it to just start the fucking game? Like Jesus, talking about making a mountain of a molehill. Some of the responses in that topic I legit can't tell if they are being serious or joking with how dumb the forum is.

reminds me of when xbox reddit was getting all in their feelings about the XSX homescreen not being in 4K HDR 120hz and petitioning MS to "fix" it

some gamers are just truly insane

[Daffy Duck]

Lmao, what the fuck

What's unfolding in the middleeast now and for months is what makes people apathetic towards politics. When everybody is different kinds of "evil", why even bother?

Looking forward to Switch 2 being revealed maybe in October, meanwhile these people are hoping to lookg forward to living for another day, and it's out Western world that enables their suffering. This world is so shit and it's difficult not feel nihilistic.

I have a crazy idea for perpetually outraged on that forum. Just get off the internet since the majority of them are in the west. Just log off, pay the stuff you like and try enjoying life.

Unless you are directly in a war zone or in a dangerous area, just get the fuck off the computer. Just saying, it's a crazy idea to a lot of people that really isn't.

I had to stop following things, at least at an eye level. I've seen enough blown about children and grieving family members cradling lifeless bodies to last a lifetime.

Why in the ever loving fuck are you trying to find stuff like that? Like seriously, it's not hard in this day and age not to see awful shit. It baffles my fucking brain how stupid they are.

Dunno man, spoiler tags exist and they aren't hard to use. But also, if you're sensitive to spoilers, don't go in the thread with fucking spoilers!

The fact that a gesture might mean something to someone out there doesn't necessarily imbue that gesture with any objective value that inhibits criticism. Like, what, are Indigenous folks suffering on reservations or anyone Brown in the Middle East supposed to look at this same video with any actual reverence?

"Just because a gesture has meaning for someone doesn't make it immune to criticism."  Why can't you just say it that way.  Bitch.
  

It's both the reporter's editorialization of the moment, and the cultural context that editorialization exists in, wherein we live entirely in a culture of vapid symbolic gestures in the wake of material degradation of our communities and environment, and an allergic reaction to actually addressing major issues head on.
Like, it is pure Murica to try to symbolize this moment considering the massive amount of environmental destruction in part caused by the corporation these men recovered the flag in front of.

"We often focus on small, meaningless actions instead of fixing big problems in our communities and environment."

God, i fucking hate you.

Nepenthe is one of those people who thinks using a fuckhead word like "imbue" on a gaming forum instead of "give" makes her sound intelligent rather than like a checkout chick who listened to some retarded four-hour YouTube video too many times.

It's a typical trait of the modern progressive doomsday cult. 
They don't want solutions, they want death, destruction and depression. 

That's why they oppose things like Nuclear Power because it solves an important problem and prefer natural disasters because it fuels their doomsday prophecy.

In their mind the only possible outcome of the current Israel/Hamas/Hezbollah conflict is a cycle of violence.
They don't see that parties that would've been fighting Israel alongside Hamas in the past like Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia are no longer picking up arms. 

They also don't understand that when the young, hopeful and bright IDF and Mossad officers who long for peace remove the old clerics and ayatollahs from the equation, the Iranian youths might choose a different path than their grandfathers. Without Nasrallah the region is one step closer to peace.

Edit: As I type this the Lebanese army is abandoning the border region, leaving Hezbollah to fend for themselves.

I’ve seen guys like them long for the COVID days to return when everybody was as panicked and shut in as they are.

What if that isn’t the case, and you are actually madly in love with her?

The thing is, I think I am.  I dream of Nepenthe performing reverse cowthem on me.  And I'm tired of pretending I'm not on this piece of shit forum.    There, I said it.

It's weird how quiet the media seems to be about this. When Katrina happened I feel like you couldn't NOT hear about it, but I just am not really hearing much outside of my own circle of friends and some posts on Twitter. Am I just missing something or not paying enough attention?

I said the same thing yesterday, wherein it seems like the coverage on mainstream televised outlets isn't as hyper-focused as it was during Katrina. There's a lot of social media presence from people affected though. Your theories may abound as to why that is.

Oh, there will be investigations and big reports in 20, 30 years and people who weren't in power now will make dramatic, touching speeches about how it was our responsibility to prevent this and how we failed and howt that is why we must work to never again let this happen, to never again look away. And then the West will celebrate itself for showing such empathy and feel really good about itself.

And people in the middle-east will still be suffering from today's crimes. And those victims of today's, they'll be long forgotten, outside of a couple few that the West will put on a pedestal to show "watch how we CARE about those brown people on the other side of the globe, we are GOOD people!!1". :/

That thought makes me want to vomit. But it's gonna happen.

Fantastic "Knife murders are a new reality. I probably have more in common with the Nazi's as they hate the Jews" Toma

That's the biggest irony and I just thought about it earlier. I'll be very honest: I've been in support of limiting migration into Germany, because crime statistics factually prove that stuff like knife murders happen disproportionally from criminal migrants. BUT: When Germany and the West bring GENOCIDE to the innocent people in the middle-east, then I have now changed my stance. Increased knife murders? Well, we'll have to live with that new reality. Because we got NO right to complain when we're the ones causing these people to come to us and committing MUCH worse crimes to their home countries.

Israel's attack war against Gaza and Lebanon has changed my mind on a lot of things.

Damn, they are out here unironically using my parody arguments. Remember when everyone was saying the opioid crisis (and now, fentanyl) only gets attention because of white suffering? Who was the theoretically demonized minority in that case?

It started with Libya, that opened the routes for the human traffickers into Europe.

Gadaffi did nothing wrong and was absolutely no threat and he kept telling us and we didn't listen

[AnnoyedCanadian]

They don't give a fuck when Arabs kill other Arabs. Hezbollah has killed more Arabs than anyone else, especially in Syria. But when the Israel *cough* the Jews *cough* do it it's a big deal.

Again, the left has more in common with the far right on this. They both hate the Jews (more specifically the far left, but the general left veils itself as anti-Semitic a lot of the time).

If you put a Stormfront and Resetera bingo card on top of each other they'd intersect on a good amount of talking points.

Hamas Piker, Secular Talk, the pedophile Vaush and all of their ilk are fucking retarded and terrorist supporters.

I still like the Assassin's Creed games. I'm all over the place for stuff I like. If others don't like it, I don't go apeshit like people do on Retardera. It's called having a different opinion.

When the crazies on that forum (and on social media) say something insane, I turn into this

From what I've been told there is no way to quickly fix this dumpster fire of a game and all these last minute adjustments will only increase the number of bugs
