NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Wow, I thought that was just a me problem.
You can just hold down the options button to reset the view.

It was a fairly well-known problem, though I can't say how common it was. Just hiting OPTIONS to re-center the view didn't really work -- it would just re-center you based around the wrong orientation. You couldn't just face forward, hit OPTIONS, and have it totally re-calibrate -- it would just center the view assuming that having your neck turned to the extreme left or right was the correct default positon.


IGN looked into it and basically gave up, saying "Uhhh, maybe you should put the PSVR in a different room or something." Plenty of other people on Reddit and such had other homespun solutions, but none of them were all that effective for me. Restarting the PS4 was the only way to reliably eliminate the drift.

Suffice it to say, I am still kinda bummed about the whole affair and will absolutely not be touching the PSVR2 until it is confirmed to not have drift issues (and until it receives a pretty deep discount).
 

did they delete the thread or just make it hidden?
Tougher skin my ass :story:

Entire thread archived up to page 45 (couldn't manage to get page 46, though.) For anybody with an account that can see it, did they make a statement about why they hid it?

Based on the extremely passive-aggressive message from Nepenthe, I'd say they might be on the verge of reversing the ban in a limited fashion (allowing limited discussion like they did with Cyberpunk). Clearly they thought they could just nip the whole game in the bud with a sitewide ban, but now the people that asked for the ban can't stop talking about the game and thereby create more work for the jannies. These unpaid mods clearly hate the idea that their benevolence has only resulted in more hassle for them.

That said, I think it's also entirely possible that they will just cave-in completely, and allow anyone to talk about the game so long as they are bashing it. Maybe they will limit discussion to the Rowling Legacy of Hate thread or something.

It's clear that the current situation is untenable.

I's say they magnified the shitstorm by making those reetards go to other communities to rage about the game showing how mental they are rather than just raging in their own hugbox. Sent a lot of users to places like GAF who found out about things like pedo era that the mods had kept a lid on.

They have boosted sales of the game so much as a fuck you to those nutjobs far, far more than they did with Cyberpunk.

(Not my meme)

It's absolutely hilarious that the only people who seem to have trouble abiding by the Hogwarts Legacy ban are the ones that hated the game but now cannot stop talking about it. They've chosen to hide a thread for the Haters rather than actually deal with the fact that people want to talk about the game.

Definitely a textbook case of the Streisand Effect.

"Streisand effect, phenomenon in which an attempt to censor, hide, or otherwise draw attention away from something only serves to attract more attention to it."


So much of the media coverage around the game has been weirdly focused on the idea of "Hey, look at these lunatics that don't even want you to mention the name of this game." Naturally it leaves people wondering what is so terrible about Hogwarts Legacy, and thinking maybe they should give it a try for themselves.

Thread re-opened, blame users for the discussion ban not working. "A necessary reminder that the ban on Hogwarts Legacy was not a decision spearheaded only by the upper echelons of staff". Really now that's some retcon.

Uses "We" a lot in that official statement and not "you", "us" or "the community". 🤔
Has that great "The beatings will continue until morale improves." energy.

Glorious Leader be praised!
 
Nepenthe:
However, not every nobody is created equal, and this tendency to publicly shame and even harass people for grievances, real or imagined, comes down harder on Black people and PoCs despite the fact that the online left has one of, if not the most, openly tolerant environments for trans people to exist, find community, and even become figureheads in (which isn't a surprise since white people can be trans), and in general the online left has an extremely obvious blind spot with regards to racism and anti-Blackness despite the fact that Black people are essentially the foundation and vanguards of liberalism and socialism in America.

Yeah, sure. Moar gibs please = sophisticated political philosophy of blacks in America. The true vanguards of liberalism. Jamal has a copy of the Federalist Papers on his night stand.
 
Hidden of course, they don't want anyone to know they started Wizardgate - AKA Gamergate II Tranny Boogaloo and their mods are hypocrites.

Nice to know Hecht is still making his rounds policing the internet.
This is the point you can see that they have acknowledged the massive L they have took and are hiding the thread to seethe and suck each others dicks. I would bet there are going to be some massive tantrums in that thread now. :story:
 
Dating topic continues to be a gold mine,

This ones more fag blog looking for pity than any advice.

"Primary partner" How many does he have?

"Together" for over three years, but on a break since 2020? Unfortunately the full effects of the vax are "Dies suddenly" so he's still not max vaxxed.

Only see each other once a month because a 40 minute journey (Or 20 if you meet mid way) is too much. Only talked "Pretty" regularly.

"Still friends" - yeah you'll still be fucking once a month.

It's a shame that all the effort he put into that relationship didn't work out, but the good news is now one of his secondary partners can get a promotion.
 
I like the 'Happy Black History Month' at the end there, as if anyone on that site is in any way happy about anything.
Funny thing about that, they just changed the black fist logo for black history month to the trans logo after around 8 days. Coincidentally a few hours before HL is officially released.
