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

But here's a new twist, boredJonathan claims he doesn't have kids

714399



Is this fucker even lying about having kids on an internet forum, or did his kids arrive in the last few months?

714400


The link is pretty bulletproof, RedMercury on NeoGAF was renamed to boredJonthan, and his twitter account directly states he was on GAF till the Tyler Malka harassment accusations. RedMercury isn't that popular an internet name, not to mention a RedMercury on NeoGAF who claims to have dogs and then has his account renamed to boredJonathan.


This requires an autistic detective force.

Oh no, hit the exceptionally unfortunate alarm, boredJonathan exists on Resetera


:story:

But why is someone called RedMercury being renamed to boredJonathan on NeoGAF and then both accounts exist on Resetera? With RedMercury claiming his dogs get death threats?

I cannot take all these patterns and coincidences

:stress:

Can you see boredJonathan's ResetEra page? If so, do his posts look anything like RedMercury's?

They're not, that's what caught my attention. boredJonathan almost exclusively talks about games, like most of his NeoGAF account. Very little politics. RedMercuy honestly posts like what a troll account would, the most nonsensical and extreme woke social justice rants Poe's Law can hardly keep up.

Dogs getting an amount of death threats he can't even count, posts about how he doesn't serve Trump supporters in his store and non-stop popping up in every topic about minorities to say he's there to lend a hand. It's too squeaky clean and it comes across like a roleplay account. What a low-T white man would fantasize about.

Given that boredJonathan used to go by the name RedMercury and the one thing boredJonathan mentioned on GAF outside of games was dogs, it seemed like a hit.

So it's either the biggest coincidence ever, tied up in a forum tied to NeoGAF, or RedMercury is boredJonathan's troll account. I will try and keep a log of when both accounts are online, as boredJonathan on Resetera hardly has any posts.

Getting back on track, it's time for a video game forum to scream at us every game having a "journalist mode" is... progressive for minorities and disabled people or something?

714469


And it's a shame some of you people think the whole world has to revolve around you? That's usually a sign of being on the spectrum.

714470


Because disabled kids need to be able to play everything? Better strap little Timmy into a Ferrari and tell him his mobility scooter works so a Ferrari should too.

But I do forget how "disabled" most games journalists are.

714472


How about... no.

714473


Are you going to tell someone with severe autism to go to a party? No, you're going to medicate them and hope they can maybe make it out to buy some food without freaking out.

Not everything in life is for everyone and your own personal hurdles might let you down. Keep trying though, I believe in you.

714476


Or when you're doing "professional" reviews I guess.

714478


Do you call your parents gatekeepers when they don't allow you out to play with your middle-aged friends because of how exceptional you are?

714479


So...

714482


a cripple can complete the game but Resetera can't? Must be one of those wrong-think cripples?

714484


But you're asking From Software to make an exception for incredibly dysfunctional people on your forum and the games journalists who can't even play games? ?

714485


The next Halo game to come with a full-retard mode.

714489


This almost comes across like a threat... but I can feel the weakness coming through my screen. Eat your greens and sort those T-levels out and you might be able to complete some kids games.

714491


Imagine my shock that the journalists who claim to represent this industry, and the players that shout the loudest nonsense, are in fact, not representative of the majority.

714494


I think Stinkles is having a mid-life crisis. Frank O'Connor, you should be rolling in Halo money and doing cool shit. But here you are.... here you are.

714505


Yeah, why not? Do you go to the doctors and ask for autism medication even if you don't have it just to experience what the autistic person does? Do you hop around on one leg all day for the experience of having one leg? No? Why not?

Life, how does it work? It works by you accepting the realities of it and dealing with it.

The best way to describe Resetera. Permanently throwing a tantrum, like our 30 something year old friend, Brazil https://kiwifarms.net/threads/neogaf-resetera.9636/post-4525939

Oh my god I would die laughing if the industry legitimately adopted adding "Journalist Mode" as a difficulty setting to every game, which makes the game as dumb, simple and easy to play as possible, adding cheats like god mode, infinite resources, etc. Plop it right there in the menu above "Easy". Use that "BJ Blankovitz as a Babby" graphic to depict the player for that mode. Hell, adopt a stylized line-art baby icon to display next to it in every game, or maybe a pacifier, as an industry-wide standard.

Please make this a thing, video game industry. Make "journalist mode" synonymous with "can't play games without cheats."

These people are the epitome of the 'Git Gud' meme. To be honest, I think that this is a jackass move from ResetEra for them to argue that gamers with disabilities can't play challenging video games. The way I see it, ResetEra are the real ableists here if they're going to argue that people with mental and/or physical disabilities can't play difficult video games and that said video games need to be watered down to make it 'easier' on them. Again, the irony is lost on these losers anyway.

And then there is an actual disabled person, not a journalist, showing everyone not to use them as a way to cry about their own inability to get better


People saying this game is to hard and want an easy mode. I even saw one post using disabled people with poor motor functions as an excuse for an easy mode. So here's the Corrupted Monk done by me a quadriplegic.

Respect.

But don't worry, our favorite liar on the internet is here to tell us a totally true story about how he handles door security.
I wonder what's going through his head when he posts these stories. Does he imagine himself slowly walking away from an explosion without looking at it, everyone in awe at RedMercury: Ultimate Badass. Because to everybody else he looks sad and pathetic.

Remember years ago when progressive journalists were advocating stealing meat by using the self checkout but ringing it up as something cheap? I forget the context, but I imagine RedMercury thinking he's sticking it to trump when he walks out with half a slice of beef which he promptly throws in the bin because toxic masculinity or something.

I think Stinkles is torn because if he does make games (which is doubtful given he posts on ResetEra) he knows that ResetEra is being stupid but going against the party line will catch him a ban or worse, get him de-verified.

It wouldn't achieve anything. Even if every game had a walking simulator mode, they'd demand the game play itself and write a review for them, and then presenting a 3 minute video explaining just enough to bullshit their way through a podcast or casual conversation.
 
Games are inherently about overcoming difficulty to reach a desired goal. If you don't have that you don't have a game. There's always an obstacle to remove, a hurdle to clear. Some genres start some people off at a disadvantage because they require things those people aren't good at or are physically limited in. And there are few things more inspiring, more respectable, more representative of what gaming is and should be than a person who starts lower than the rest of us and still overcomes. Mad respect for that quadriplegic fellow. He embodies more of the spirit of gaming than every last "journalist" combined.
 
If you get stuck in a game and think that it should be easier instead of you getting better, you're a cuck and a dumbass and your opinion should be ignored. If a literal quadriplegic can play Sekiro, anybody can.
What about people who can't afford electricity and live in some tribe in Brazil that still hasn't made contact with civilization? Stop gatekeeping.

And if you can't, tough. Not everything is for everyone. Find something else you'd rather do if the game is so hard it makes you cry bitter triggered tears. Git gud or go away.
 
I was going to pass this up considering how there's not that many people are talking about this over at ResetEra, but one post was notable enough where I felt the need to post about it here.

I mean sure, there has never been a real life example in the entire history of humanity of socialism working out in the long run and never mind that the flaws of socialism would inevitably lead to Venezuela imploding in the aftermath. But it's somehow the fault of the United States for why Venezuela is burning to the ground while your shitty government that is desperately trying to cling on to power at this point.
One of my personal cows believes the same thing and he's lived in England his entire life. He unironically believes that Venezuela was a perfect socialist paradise, that Chavez was a great leader, and it's America's fault that everything has gone to shit.
