I’d like to declare here that I’m vegan too, and I hope y’all respect my wholesome pronouns.

[Boredfrom]

these fucking idiots don't even know why or can't articulate what it is about Bloober that they hate so much (the other, more bad game had a villain? Or something). All they know is, they feel a deep religious objection to people being more interested in this new Silent Hill game than them.

People have said that they have made mid games for the most part (Observer being their most beloved one). So more than hate I feel is frustration about a mostly unproven developer, but with potential, getting the Silent Hill franchise YET AGAIN.  

People forget this was the modus operandi of Konami during their years post Team Silent. 

Is good that they, it seems, pulled off, but people had legitimate concerns beyond the nutsos bitching about mental health monster in the Medium or whatever.

Xi and Mao replace Jesus and Mary in Chinese churches

In their effort to “exert total control” over religion and to “sinicise” Catholic and Protestant Christianity, the authorities have “ordered the removal of crosses from churches [and] replaced images of Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary with pictures of President Xi Jinping,” the report said.

The Chinese government has also required “the display of CCP [Chinese Communist Party] slogans at the entrances of churches, censored religious texts, imposed CCP-approved religious materials, and instructed clergy to preach CCP ideology,” the USCIRF report said.

Its investigation pointed to a report from 2019 of a Catholic church in the eastern province of Jiangxi that was forced to replace a painting of the Virgin Mary with her child with one of President Xi.

“They used facial recognition to identify and harass congregants, threatening their jobs and families to stop them from attending meetings,” he said.

“Due to this persecution, many congregants were forced to leave China. Our church has relocated four or five times, moving frequently due to police interference. Many former brothers in the church no longer dare to believe.”

[DocWager]

The face recognition shit being used for this kind of stuff is scary. No matter the politics I’m imagining in the US some asshole will try this whether it be the “socialists”, or MAGA’s,

From the cynicism thread

You're creating cynical boogeyman's to get unrealistically upset over.

So many of them refusing to admit defeat and move on. How very Trump of them.

[who is ted danson?]

"It used to be enough to make a good game, that's not enough anymore"
Got an example of a legitimately good game that failed financially?

As far as I've heard, Concord was an incredibly solid game. And that's just if we're talking about the GAAS space, if we're talking single player there are thousands of amazing titles that underperform and cause layoffs and/or studio closures.

[Snoopy]

Uh oh. Mr.Moraliser is upset 

You know what? No, I won't take even an implication of being called a sexist/enablist lighlty.

I've listed more examples. The very fact that the two can be conflated at all, was a mistake on my part. Me acknowledging this several times in this very thread and you still insisting I did it to somehow downplay the worst of the worst, is not OK. More importantly, it's not true.

It just isn't. All the things you've listed, I've been against. I've argued against. Numerous times. My post history speaks for itself in that regard. But you've seen nothing of it, and yet you imply this horrible stuff. You don't just get to pawn off stuff you made up in your head about people as fact.

Be as cynical as you want, but that doesn't give you the right to accuse someone of being a horrible person by completely mischaracterizing them.

Feels like it's just an Era thing tbh. I have never met anyone IRL who has developed such a cynical nature toward the thing(s) they love. It honestly feels like we all hate video games, consoles, developers, the industry, each other, and everything connected to these things.

I mean we laugh when games bomb, then drag publishers and devs through the dirt when they close the studio or have layoffs. It doesn't make any fucking sense.

Honestly, any time I've blocked Era on my phone, or been banned for an extended period, I've felt better and more optimistic about gaming and the world around me in general. The nature of this forum can slowly start to seep into your real life and just bum you out mentally.

The best way to go about it for me is to just avoid the site. I don't want to be around something that saps the love I have for my hobby.

If I'm wanting to get caught up with the industry, I login and skim the thread titles, and leave. If there's a new release or information about a game (trailers, gameplay reveals, etc.) and I want to know more, I check the first post, then leave. Participating in discussions on any part of this forum is just going to turn into the most passive aggressive argument you've ever been in, for hours, where neither person will even attempt to see the other's perspective.

The majority of everything posted here is so detached from the real world that it shouldn't be taken seriously, or be representative of anyone or anything, at all.

Can't help but read and comment on threads discussing the nature of this forum though.

[Propagandhim]

Must be nice to ignore all the racism, sexism, and Zionism by leaving the forum whenever you want.  Wish I could take a vacation from being marginalized...no, no, no, cool, cool, just take your break from our lived experiences presented on one of the few places on the internet that were allowed to have voices on and enjoy the privileges of your life without hearing us scream out in pain.  You might even enjoy the genocide from afar, who knows?  Cool cool cool

Why does it have to be "sides"? And why does one have to be right or wrong?

Why can't it simply be your own opinion that you agree or disagree with others on?

This guy just fucking irks me for some reason. Using some low quality Butterbean spliced image on every avatar (much like incelef with his X-Men stuff).

I feel like people care more about Lebanese than Palestinians but I don't really know.

At the very least press is allowed in Lebanon as opposed to Gaza but of course they all just sit in Tel Aviv like the losers that they are.

I would think the losers would be the terrorists you dumb fuck

Era loves to hate on devs they dislike or devs that made a thing they dislike.

I will say that hate and bigotry is allowed and openly welcome in this site depending on the dev/situation and it really sucks.

I was banned once for calling it out, just because of what the game was, but people were openly attackong and saying hateful things about devs jist for having to work on said game.

But like almost anywhere else people will stand up and rabidly defend what theu like and attack what they hate purely on bias while thinking it is righteous.

Oh, he is so getting banned for calling it out again.  Ree, never learn from their mistakes

The elven fencers in Unicorn Overlord are like Vanillaware parody.

Outfit is obviously ridiculous on its own but it gets worse. When they attack, they boobs jiggle (of course), and they show their ass to the camera, wearing nothing but a thong. Lord, I hate Vanillaware sometimes

I wonder what the biggest 2025 meltdown for RetardEra will be

- Kingdom Come 2 being a success
- Nintendo pissing them off somehow
- The Superman movie making them angry because it's not Marvel or some shit
- Still mad at Israel for defending itself and devolving further into even more insane antisemitism
- More games like Stellar Blade being made
- CHUDS CHUDS CHUDS I MAKE WORDS OBSOLETE, EVEN MADE UP ONES
- Difficult games
- Mass suicide and violent threats if Trump wins

It's pretty much anyone's ballgame for what will set them off. Each year they get more insane and drive away any new users and ban a good chunk of the current user base they have.

Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari says 440 Hezbollah fighters have been killed since the start of Israel's ground invasion into southern Lebanon on Monday night.

He says that includes 30 commanders.

Hezbollah has not said how many of its members have been killed

Oh god, they're actually going to be complaining about Hezbollah TERRORISTS being killed. Fuck me into oblivion.

Trump winning is the triple whammy because a Trump win likely results in him pulling the Republicans through the down ballot races so Israel gets a lot more support from the US and Elon Musk would have a big influence on the policy making overall.

I am not surprised that aggrieved nerds who still have a chip on their shoulder from being bullied for their nerdy-ass interests in middle and high school are using the current pop culture media landscape focused around these interests to assert control and power.

As someone who was bullied to the point of suffering from life long depression, trust issues and physical scars from physical assaults and being set on fire in part because of being nerdy (along with heavy homophobia and ableism), I will never truly understand how you can then turn around and attack others for enjoying the things you suffered for liking. I would have killed to have friends who like Pokémon, anime, prehistoric history and Fantasy back then.
