Oil prices jumped on Thursday, after President Biden, when asked if he would support an Israeli strike on Iran's oil facilities, said: "We're discussing that. I think that would be a little … anyway."

So Joe Biden just made oil 5% - 8% more expensive because he couldn't finish a sentence.

From PS5 Pro thread

£700 for a digital-only console, holy shit!! I've been thinking about a Steam Deck and it's looking even more appealing right now.

Silent Hill review thread

Wow, positively surprised it turned out so well! I don't really have the money to buy it at the moment but I will hopefully be liquid enough to buy it in a few months.

A lot of silent hill 2 superfans will get to finally play silent hill 2 this week. Very exciting.

AI bot?

I've seen a bunch of footage from different YT channels on PS5, and they all had black level issues that we see sometimes , where blacks are too bright. Hopefully it can be fixed or adjusted.

The blacks are too bright, everybody is saying it, hopefully it can be fixed

why is Fj0823 openly posting a link on Resetera to a known white supremacist website? I guess these replies in the thread they linked doesn't matter?

More like Captain N*gger amirite

>Oh shhhheeeeeeit!!! We's capn American now niggas!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea, fuck off.

>Killmonger dying made no sense, especially after T'Challa's arc in Civil War.
Consider this, deep down they're still beautiful Black bodies and T' Challa only pretends to be civilized to the outside world

>how did the Captain America sub-franchise go from a big strong blond guy beating up a nazi skull to this trite turbo-political shit.
N*gger trite turbo political bullshit is literally how the Captain America comics are, the only travesty is that it's a beautiful Black body playing in the story instead of Steve Rogers

>Ore found in Asia
>Americans gets to claim it

Do kikes really?

PoliEra guy got banned for saying in a discord that they looked at Kiwifarms but this is okay?

And why is no one in the thread calling them out on it? I guess since it's Marvel it's okay.

Xbox is dead bro. I'm thinking about selling a bunch of Xbox stuff that it is still worth 'something' and replacing those games like Elden Ring and Resident Evil 4 Remake with the Steam versions. Silent Hill 2 is releasing on Steam.

Hardware wise folks are landing on either the RTX4060($299) or RTX4070 Super($599).

On the CPU side nothing is budging with Sony using the same CPU for the PS5 Pro.

Steam has everything now

✅Backwards compatiblity
✅Indies
✅Third party releases (Ubisoft, EA, etc. all came crawling back)
✅Japanese releases (Steam gets more of these than Xbox, including the Switch/PS4 only releases)
✅PlayStation games
✅Microsoft games
✅F2P/cross play games
✅VR games
✅Handheld play (Steamdeck)
✅Mods
✅No censorship
✅Highest active player counts in most games (new peak of ~40 million concurrent players)

im looking forward to the xbox remake in 2045 but I'm not buying it unless they replace Bill Gates with a new voice actor 

[Nintex]

Cool Turn Based RPG sale going on Steam right now.

Final Fantasy X + X2 HD, only $10. After all that Final Fantasy music talk lately into the cart it goes.

Neptunia Remakes dirt cheap as well. I was interested in the Switch ports but those have been delayed indefinitely.
Now all 3 games are $5 on Steam.

If you don't own it yet Dragon Quest XI S is 50% off. 

[DocWager]

Is there anything the international community can do to block US weapons transfers to Israel?

International Sanctions and Embargoes againts US is in theory possible but how can you enforce that.

This is the most pro-Israel administration in America's recent history.

Not since WCW Nitro in its heyday have I seen such hyperbole.

[Polident]

Unironically if Xbox did an Xbox 360 nostalgia trip, people would bite. We’re approaching the 20th anniversary. Yes, we’re all old and joint pain is a fact of life for us geriatrics. But there are people who grew up with it with expendable income.

MiserableCuntSmasher on top form in the Silent Hill 2 review thread and people are calling him out

So it seems the game isn't a complete tire fire. Now we get to wait to see what happens with whatever new content they wrote, since if they added any new endings there's no chance in hell review embargoes let reviewers talk about them. And Bloober is really bad at writing endings.

Damn it pained you to even say something slightly nice haha

I'm good. Until we actually get to talk about any new endings I'm just going to watch from the sidelines. When someone gets to them they can ping me and let me know what they're about.

If you're not even going to buy or play the game, why are you engaging in a discussion around it only to come at it with a pessimistic slant? You're not even planning to engage with the media so why should your opinion matter?

I'm good. Until we actually get to talk about any new endings I'm just going to watch from the sidelines. When someone gets to them they can ping me and let me know what they're about.

Sometimes I think you're just actively trying to be/appear grumpy and miserable lol. Really hoping you're having a nice day!

This one is indistinguishable from some of their posts shared here. Only softened by using “zionists”.

Also odd how this nazi hate site he visits isn’t up in arms about the israeli character. Or he didn’t quote them because they’re also verbatim era posts.

Reading up on this it seems like they spend the FEMA budget on migrant programs and other things. The secretary himself has said that they don't have the funds to make it through the hurricane season. 

Happened during the Obama and Trump administration too. Trump used it as 'emergency funding' for border security and Obama (like most western Democracies) didn't resupply the empty stocks to save some money which was a real problem when COVID hit.

The big issue this time seems to be that it is a rural area so it's difficult to get communications up and running (Elon is now providing "free" StarLinks that Ivanka is flying in).
The other issue is that they're asking volunteers to stay clear of the disaster areas and not to use their drones. 
Obviously out of safety concerns and to clear the airspace but if you're waiting for help that is not what it sounds like.

[Snoopy]

I don't want to turn this into a reaction thread, but in a sense, it has to be in order for any meaningful discussion surrounding this topic.

Era is definitely one of the better places to discuss games. One thing I've seen crop up time and time again though, especially when it comes to a beloved series, is outright hate, dismissal and just straight up unacceptable garbage.

Shit like... This.

Again, Era is a lot better than most places at dealing with this type of crap.

Some game developers or games get a certain stigma attached to them. Whether it's justified or not, people use that as fuel to be overly harsh, condemn any future project and just use it to spread outright hate.

Even people who haven't touched their stuff, spread this distrust/hate.

I'm obviously talking about Bloober.

For 2 straight years, I've seen almost nothing but straight up hate for these developers.

No matter how genuine their attempt at faithfully remaking one of the most influential horror games of all time were, even to the original developers, the hate kept on spreading.

The disconnect from what I was seeing to what I was reading didn't really start to shift until fairly recently.

This thread is from August of this year. The devs were genuinely asking for a chance to prove themselves. This was the response. Just please... Read it and tell me with a straight face that some of it isn't toxic. It was way worse when the game was announced... But it was still present. This is not the only game I've seen this happen to.

The thing is... No matter your dislike, unless the devs have done something straight up criminal, I can't be the only one who finds this shit toxic and unacceptable. It shouldn't be happening, period.

People will happily "eat crow", say they're "surprised" and yes, the devs must be elated by the glowing reviews... But this won't stop unless we do better.

Even if the game reviewed in the 70's, it still wouldn't warrant the hate, it still wouldn't be acceptable.

We really, really need to do better. Or else there'll be another project/game facing the same kind of vitriol. It genuinely makes me not want to engage in this hobby.

Younger me was guilty of similar types of behavior, but I try to catch myself nowadays.

Being considerate is not a bad thing at all. The anonymity of the internet unfortunately makes it way easier for people to engage in this way.

I know we're way better than that. Even if we aren't - We can be.

Lol. What an absolute weasel. The only reason this cunt is up on his high horse trying to shame the rees is because for once he didn’t join the pile on.

[ComeAgain]

MiserySmasher refusing to admit defeat about the SH2 remake? I am SHOCKED, I tell you. 

I like how some of them still think Bloober Team was just making “ripoffs” of Silent Hill instead of being inspired by maybe the most influential horror game series ever. 

But it’s ok for something like Uncharted, a male Tomb Raider inspired series, to exist.

[DavidCroquet]

Why not both?

I think bloober is a ripoff factory, but also technically proficient. Give them a setting/story that they didn’t write themselves and you got yourself a solid game!

[ComeAgain]

Then I guess every horror game developer is a ripoff factory, considering how many are influenced by Silent Hill 

This game turning out to be a damn near GOTY contender sure is ruffling some feathers sweet vindication for everyone working at Bloober

Jeez… JUST GO TO THE FUCKING OFFICE! EVENTUALLY THEY WILL MOVE EVERYTHING TO THE HOME!!! Like that will be good for humanity *PFFFT*. But still the company will realize they will save money on office supplies if they don’t have lazy shut-ins show up. Shame for the legit social crowd, but the anti-social socialists will finally get their wish.

This guy is mentally ill. I don't mean that as a joke. If he ever gets banned permanently, he's going to take it about as well as somebody that has spouse or child die unexpectedly. If he can't bitch and complain in multiple posts per hour, he's going to hang himself. Bdumbs better have a crisis team on the way or he's going to end up in the suicide note as the cause.

Completely out of the loop about this bloober situation. Basic search, they're a polish developer? Only game I recognize is Observer. There's nothing controversial or noteworthy either way.
