Am I missing something? How is being positive about a game trolling? Wouldn't that be more posting "Shit game" and then ducking and running?
I think it's more about being positive about the game that admins and moderators happens to not like for X reason. Not sure what is their stance on KCD2, but when KCD1 launched they went full apeshit over this game

OP:

Thanks for the reminder that I love you guys (NeoGAF) for at least giving people a voice, even when the voice is shitty or pointless

As nerds, sometimes we just need to say some crap like “I love this game so fucking much” because, as nerds, we are passionate and this shit (video games) mean something to us.

Not every post has to be an essay or referenced journal article. Sometimes “goty af” is all that’s needed.

The split is the best thing that could happen to this site. A lot of those loonies were also in power here. And it was literally walking on eggshells. One joke about diversity, or claiming you liked controversial game x, and you were out.

In the end everyone ends up where he belongs. So it was only natural the bubble would burst and they would create their own toxic community. Good riddance.

I tried that site back in 2017. Never had I been so annoyed by gaming discussions. 100% of the gaming OT would derail within 10 posts, about a skirt being too sexualized, or a QA tester or VA was a bigot, or a font looked similar to what white supremacists use. They would always come up with something bad and dictated you should feel bad about it. Whenever you would ask if they could stick to the game itself, you'd get dog piled and a warning because you were dismissing grave concerns. It went completely against what a gaming discussion should be.

Its probably the most retarded gaming community I've seen online.

Your comment reminded me of this old favourite of mine:



The video for it is amazing too, disturbing and impactful at the same time.

Omg Papa Hetfield was so young there! Great song.
And this one


And Megadeth, Marty’s solo in this one is golden 👌


I love this era of metal. Cool riffs, melodies, awesome solos, drums following the guitars, not just someone screaming with the mic far down their throat because they never learned to play an instrument. Makes me sad that Hetfield and Mustaine are both getting old, both are over 60.

I probably made like 4 posts there before I intentionally got myself banned.

There was some thread like “as a gay gamer, in RPGs, am I entitled to have the same number of gay romance options as straight ones? I’m going to say yes”

And all the responses were the most patronizing, infantilizing shit like “oh, oh OF COURSE you are entitled to that! How could any reasonable person possibly disagree with that??”

I just posted a messsge like “of course you are! I hope someday we can engineer a society where 50% of people are gay so we all get the same # of romance options like we’re entitled to”

I just barely post there but I saw the Kingdom Come 2 thread and said: "Goty". And I believe its truly amazing content for a game of the year.
What are those guys smoking? Well if they gonna ban me at least let me say something that leads to a real ban?
welcome

I only go back now for a laugh whenever Trump does something else that will piss them off. Which at the moment is everything. So much fun reading material.
 
For real though if any a place and its users needed ongoing wellness checks or ''care in the community'' it's Resetera users. Getting major cult vibes there. Online use is making more users further detached from reality. After you have built up a cocoon, where do you go from there? If this was IRL it would end in mass suicide at some stage.
 
Does Era constantly bring up Gaf? Cause it's wild how many times it's brought up here. Usually when you don't like something you just ignore it and don't talk about it, lmao.
I agree, normally, except when it comes to the purple chamber. That place should be ruthlessly mocked at every opportunity.

This site does the same thing but in the opposite direction lol. Both are retarded
Not even close man you can post here and have an opinion, something you absolutely can not have at era. Which is half the problem with those type of fucking people, they're everything they claim everyone else is which is why the left are absolutely laughable anymore

I used to be on ERA. The final straw for me was clicking on some Zelda thread and being greeted by pages upon pages of fake-ass anecdotes of "abuse" that the "rampant misogyny" of Nintendo games contributes to.

They’re probably still pretending that Nintendo didn’t fire a hooker they had working in the Treehouse.

My troll account lasted a couple years. I'd try to out-lib their biggest shit libs. I was actually getting a lot of traction for a while, then I started overshooting it. Wish I took screen caps while I had access.

Banned there a long while ago for arguing against the board that racism is not pervasive in the US and provided sources. They permed me. That was when the whole mess here and them starting there, I was a moron.

And yes every game thread there devolves into something about racism, etc.

Edit: Welcome

Was anyone here involved when IGN had a massive exodus back in the day and went to a pos called Bad Cartridge that turned into an even bigger piece of shit called DayOnePatch?

I don't know if it is still the case or not, since I haven't been back on there for ages, but there was a time they would ban people if they knew they were still posting over here. Everything you type has to be on egg shells, between that and the sentiment that "every white person is a racist" and if you didn't agree you got a ban was enough for me to leave that fucking place and never turn back. Nothing of value was lost dude, definitely don't lose any sleep over it.
It's funny you say that. I was permanently banned for calling someone out calling white people "crackers"

Your first mistake is thinking that forum is a safe for gaming discussion.

People crap alot in GAF, saying bullshit like "different side of the same coin" ridiculous false equivalence. But the only way to actually banned is really trying hard to get banned. I'm talking about retarded levels here.

And this also is valid to some members here who still have an account on Era. How long you will last there? Or do you enjoy being quiet and not talking about the games you like at all? I hope you're enjoying going to a forum and staying silent there, being treated as an outcast or someone who has no right to speak. Just imagine this situation in real life.
