ReasonUser Banned (3 Days): Ignoring Staff Post; Inflammatory Commentary on Games Journalism
games journalism is corrupt and utterly useless. a true shame considering film and music reviews are vastly more honest and forthright, which is baffling because there is much less objectivity with games especially with things like technical issues.

I am blown away at the combative stances in this thread.
She's literally trying to capture her generation in a quote. Her generation and she's trying to ease that idea. NOTHING is immediate. Y'all have the most minimal context. I get why people are leaving.
Don’t even start. You didn’t leak the name before Sabi. Like I said you’re not an insider, and looking at your past posts, all you do is speculate things and get everything wrong, you don’t have any proof or credible info. Someone else leaked the name, and you’re taking credit for it. you’re a JOKE.
You came out of nowhere acting like you’re the man. Yet you know nothing and you don’t know noone in WBM either. Stop lying to us and yourself. Kindly remove yourself from this thread. You and James Sigfield should both shut up.
I showed my gf the post that I quoted. She had a good laugh. And she's trans.
This is typical ERA toxicity, where everything is black and white. I got shit on in another topic for being anti-lgbt while being part of that group. I got shit on by people for being anti-that, hating that, while these people fight for better Switch Icons in their spare time.... the same night I was part of a demonstration in my city. It's just ridiculous. I will watch the Globes. With my gf. With our friends. With other trans folk. And we will have great night. So that's that. I'm out.

GamingThreadCONFIRMED: Pokémon Sword/Shield Dropped GTS; Contains Multiplayer Code From Let's Go
ReasonUser banned (duration pending): Hostility towards moderation. Inflammatory generalizations.
I don't buy this bullshit. People got mad that others were criticizing their favorite toy company so they decided to send unearned praise to them in the face of the shit show that is Pokemon SwSh. They then tried to take the moral high ground and proclaimed much of the criticism to be "toxic" while shouting "we forgive you, king" as loud as they could to drown out the "haters."
Then, moderators of ResetEra, who allow "Capcpom is baaaaack," fuck EA, fuck Activision, fuck Ubisoft, fuck Konami, Fuck Bioware, Fuck Bethesda, and so, so much more decided it would be a Galaxy Brain move to warn people off of criticising miniscule indie developer GameFreak, because it would just be unfair to hold them to the same standard that literally every other game developer has been held to on this site. Handwaving away concerns because "the game isn't out yet" despite the whole thing being leaked and streamed is just peachy keen. Lobbing a sarcastic softball that calls out the corny protectiveness of a fanbase that is coddling a company that produces a multi-million selling entertainment franchise because people suddenly realized that being assholes online may hurt the developers' feelings in this instance and this instance only because only GameFreak has real people working on their games (unlike Ubisoft and Bioware and Bethesda and Activision and EA) is the farthest thing from what should be moddable action, especially in a forum where routine veiled accusations of shilling for companies or a lack of moral scruples due to a poster's unwillingness to comply with the boycott du jour are levied against people with no mod action in sight. There has been exactly zero mod response to their actions in this thread, while they apparently have time to heavily moderate other Pokemon threads. Are we gonna see the bullshit warnings reversed? Are we going to get any transparency at all for the power tripping warning wave for a hilariously innocuous sentiment that pales in comparison to previously tacitly endorced toxicity surrounding other game releases? I thought this place was supposed to be different from the old one, with more consistent and transparent moderation, but in practice it seems like there's a list of "prominent developers" in addition to the prominent members list that absolves you from criticism and must be sheltered through strict tone policing

They should just make Mario black for the next game, without explaining it, or making it a big deal or turning it into a gimmick. I don't see the harm; they should just go for it. Next Mario game, everything else stays the same, except that Mario is black and Peach can't stop smiling.

I for one welcome strides in progress. Sorry for the minor inconveniences along the way, though. The horror of an email, some combo of USB-A and USB-C converters, shared/cloud folders or Airdrop all making moving files so painful and labored! The hoorrrooooor.

“Pokémon Assault and Battery looks like the bastard child of Bubsy 3D and Sonic 2006. Every time I see a new challenge in the game, I want to punch through the screen. I have nothing but seething hatred for the graphics, sound design, story, and gameplay.
But despite all those issues, Pokemon Assault and Battery still is Pokémon. The formula is a little long in the tooth, but it’s always a wonderfully charming one.
Also you can knit wool sweaters with your Pokémon and that’s adorable.

So... I guess now the Nintendo bias is a confirmed fact? I'll just take any major Nintendo release metacritic and subtract 10 or so points to get the actual score from now on tbh.

Or because the score and article are not even remotely true? With what is the game compared then? A 9.3? Bit that logic actually working games with decent graphics and co should get 11s all around lmao

The complete lack of understanding of what happened is shocking.
How do you actually go and ACTUALLY believe that my issue was that people had a positive opinion?
Pls show me the quote. God this is actually beyond stupid. TLDR people are weirdos for getting upset that their favorite thing is criticized.
That is indeed fanboy behavior. Notice how I do not go into threads and pick people just sharing their enthusiasm for the game and talking about things they're excited about? Because fuck yeah that's what discussion is for too I support that.
Nah I specifically picked a post that was like "stop being so critical we all already heard this stop bringing the mood down".
I cannot believe how such an OBVIOUS difference is not crystal clear.
But sure buddy I was upset at people for being positive what a good takeaway displaying that the pokemon community is full of critically thinking people actually engaging with the arguments in a logical manner *eye roll* It's actually funny how perfectly this illustrates what I'm fed up with.

He did not confirm it but he sure as hell defended that theory to the point of making imaginary scenarios that could justify what they were saying.
When he was confronted and backed into a corner by a post with actual modeling knowledge, the thread was swiftly closed.
Oh fuck off. I love sci-fi precisely because it’s fun to imagine the what-ifs and think through the implications tiny changes can have. Like for video games, Mass Effect’s entire universe of wild and interesting things stems from the simple premise of being able to manipulate the mass of things (or wrap them in a mass shroud that temporarily negates their mass, don’t recall the specifics). That tiny bit of technology has far reaching implications that with all sorts of fun things to consider. And elaborate, beautifully intricate worlds with fun technology and social allegories can exist in perfect, internally-consistent harmony with things like Dune or the Ian Banks’s Culture series.
If you’re too dull to engage with the story on any level other than letting it wash over your eyes and ears without processing what it’s saying, then that’s on you.
My take away from your blather is you like DS, and felt the need to make a personal attack in some shitty nerd rage spas out because someone bothered to think about it and criticize its failings...rather than, you know, engage with the ideas of either the work itself or the criticism.
In summary, eat my whole ass and try engaging with the content next time, instead of knee jerk insulting the messenger.
