The part of that Resetera ban that I actually take issue with is the final paragraph:
It’s pretty ridiculous because they set out to be more democratic and transparent than NeoGAF but it’s still unaccountable mods in secretive ivory towers. If they can’t even defend the ban publicly from users then that’s some pretty weak moral conviction.
“As a reminder, we do not allow for advocating or metacommentary on content ban decisions, which are decided by the mod team. Any that we see, whether for or against, will be met with threadbans at a minimum.”

By Laboured Go To PostActually, 1080p does look the same as 4K if you simply sit a bit further away from the TV 👍
One of my absolute favourite ones the console lads on GAF used to post.
Gonna go post something on era like, "honestly, only guys would actually remember to shower. lately even girls aren't clean. yuck"
Resetera has only gotten worse as time goes on, mass bannings, community exodus, dimwit mods, and a never ending train of nonsense being spewed in most topics.
Anyway 30fps vs 60fps? Here’s my opinion. I tried playing the sub 30 fps mode in Witcher 3 PS5, and I was having the time of my life until those fucking pink/purple spider webs started ruining my mood. So I went with 60 fps and kept looking back until I finally settled on it as the inferior but ultimate more stable way to see the game.

By Perfect Blue Go To PostThe part of that Resetera ban that I actually take issue with is the final paragraph:metacommentary pretty much means don't call out the forum or the mods.

absolutely stupid.
Despite what went down with GAF, era is actually worse.
By Laboured Go To PostPure, unfiltered Square Enix.This is that fuckery
By jjasper Go To PostNothing will top all the bans on the old site for mentioning playing 10year + old roms.I mean... Not to defend GAF or anything but that's a pretty clear line. Banning talking about a legit upcoming game is wild. 😂
By s y Go To PostI don't think there's anything wrong with boycotting something you think violates whatever moral/ethical line you are attached to.
People always act brand new when it's either something they want, something they grew up with, or a group of people are being vocal about whatever piece of media. Nothing new.
Obviously there are degrees, but if you play R.Kelly around certain folks, you're getting looked at. Bring up Polanski in the wrong circles, and you're getting the side eye. Praise Chappelle around certain folks, eyebrows are getting raised. The list goes on.
Where it gets silly and eyeroll-worthy is when you try to label or shame anyone who wants to buy the Harry Potter game, a bigot or in line with JK Rowling's beliefs.
I can't speak for everyone, but as someone actually in the group getting targeted by her dumb fucking mouth, most people aren't gonna be on that type of time. Probably will look at you funny, if you're bragging about how proud you are for playing it or whatever. Niggas know what time it actually is, when it comes to that. Outside of that, it's Capitalism baby. What the fuck are you gonna do. Most mf'ers are hypocrites, including me.
edit: As for that site. I would expect any place that had a decent amount of trans folks there to be weary about advertising anything attached to her.

At any rate, I'm not sure where I'm supposed to be at in Sekiro. I killed the bull (hated this fight) and found the poison swamp. Was getting bodied, so I went back to the dream and killed the Drunkard and Lady Butterfly (this fight was dope af). Cool game, though it does annoy me sometimes.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostThe part of that Resetera ban that I actually take issue with is the final paragraph:I got permad for pointing this out once which apparently consisted of "a long history of antagonizing the moderation team".

The mods on there are thin skinned and petty.
The worst attributes mods can have and activity on the site is down across the board, you can't have any genuine discussions.

I went for Genichiro after clearing the Hirata Estate. Seemed like I was appropriately levelled for it at that time.
How’d you find the swamp though? I thought I was being thorough in exploring but haven’t gotten to that area yet.
By Daz Go To PostThe mods on there are thin skinned and petty.Some of the mods that left their role on Era/Gaf are now active on discord channels...as mods...so you can imagine just how their style of moderation doesn't translate very well to that platform, yet there they are. Banning people for real or imagined insults.

Thin skinned and petty is a very good description, I'd add that they are on power trips no matter how tiny. So they can wave their sickle over peoples heads, guess it gives them satisfaction online wherein their real life does not.

It's in the area where you start the game (literally). At the start of the game, if you hopped into the water and tried to go that direction, you'd run into an area you couldn't reach. Now that you have the grapple, you can. Just explore in that area and you'll find a bunch of wild shit.
Fucked up ass area. lmao

By inky Go To PostMy favorite thread on era used to be the one where rows of anime avatars complain about the sexism in the anime games they just spent 200 hours playing. The funniest part is the coda was always some silver lining in them too:my favorite thread on purple if it's the one im thinking of.
incredible
By Eternity Go To PostThis era boycott will have 0 impact. Countless people on that site will buy it anyway but say something else on the board. It's moral grandstanding to the highest degree.actually now they don't have to say anything at all since all discussion on it is banned. they can buy it in peace and pretend they didnt
By domino Go To Postmy favorite thread on purple if it's the one im thinking of.200 hours, anime avatars, I'm assuming genshin impact

Your current objective should be rescuing Kuro from Ashina Castle

I could just gap. The one with the big ass gun has been fucking me up, but I can probably cook. I don't know what to do with that boss that was chilling before it. Def coming back later, cause he fucked me up. Should have known a mf'er just sitting with ghosts was gonna be a whole ass problem. Legit the first time in the game where I felt like maybe I need to be a bit stronger.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostI just adopted a dog in FE Engage. GOTYYou can adopt a dog? The most wholesome

i remember when he went back and deleted all his negative posts about star wars on GAF when he got the rogue one gig.
