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

[RudeRoasts]

If that's the case, then what is the joke? Why even call it the Cosby Suite if Cosby wasn't known for anything except family friendly standup and a TV show?

By 2013 there were already multiple allegations of sexual assault against Cosby, even if a conviction, which was later overturned on a technicality, wouldn’t come until 2018. According to one source with knowledge of the hotel room, the “Cosby Suite” name was a play on the comedian’s iconic ugly sweaters, and didn’t have any sexual connotation—at least, not when the joke began. Instead, they suggest, the running joke was that the rooms in question looked dated, like the sweater.

One source said they were told it was a reference to an ugly boardroom room back at Blizzard’s main office, which reportedly had similar patterns to the sweater. Another said they understood it to be a reference to an ugly hotel room during a different gaming conference. But in all pictures of the 2013 BlizzCon hotel room reviewed by Kotaku, the walls were largely white and blank and the decor was nondescript. The rug visible in some of the photographs does have a pattern, but it looks nothing like the sweaters in the framed picture everyone is holding.
Another ex-Blizzard source pushed back on claims the “Cosby Suite” was a joke about ugly boardrooms or sweaters, noting that when Blizzard moved to its new Irvine, California campus in 2008, the office had been freshly painted and, to their knowledge, there was no infamous ugly boardroom.

They buried this quite deep into the article. Unlike them, I will have integrity to point out that one source contradicts the bolded claims, and have included it in the quotes. Take it for what you will - given that said source doesn't provide an alternative explanation, I don't take it for much.

I haven't bought an Activision-Blizzard game for the better part of 15 years, and I hate what they've done to the game industry, and what their customers still allow them to do.

But this shit smells funny to me. It seems like a lot of this is overblown or twisted out of context into it's ugliest face. The State of California is absolutely a den full of corrupt bureaucrats who'd rather grift on MeToo-esque claims than prosecute crimes on their streets, and it's no less true just because Activision says it.

I like their concept of "rape culture" is dudes searching for news about rapes and idolizing the people that commit them.

Not all indie games, some are alt-right gator hatefests like Hatred, Ion Fury, Super Seducer, etc.

Super late, but what did Ion Fury do to piss off ill men in drag?

It had a sexy easter egg or something. I vaguely remember but it was a really gay reason.

There was a shampoo bottle sprite in the game that said "OHGAY" if you looked closely. This caused an unsuccessful review bombing campaign coordinated by resetera.

 

[Rei is shit]

• Red Letter Media and Rich Evans specifically

…WTF? RLM is fairly leftist, esp for a place like Milwaukee. There’s several of their BotW reviews that (almost unfairly in one case, I felt) accuse directors of sexism or homophobia.

I'm pretty sure it was the "Tranny detector 5000" joke that put Rich on the resetera kill list.

He is perhaps the biggest faggot on RetardEra, even with the fierce competition for that title.

He has a thread here, and he once threatened to commit suicide because he was upset about a website going down.

ETA: @AirdropShitposts already pointed this out but I'll keep this post for the picture.

RetardEra is always good for an pick-me-up. Even on your worst day, you’ll never be as pathetic as the best of their users.

It was OGAY and a secret "fagbag" message.

I have an idea but it's kind of fucked up even for me:

Neogaf has a COVID thread full of anti vaxxers, anti maskers, people politicizing the virus and the vaccines spreading misinformation, etc. We could all click the report button on the Google Ads Tyler employs and report his site for spreading dangerous misinformation regarding the pandemic. Get them to drop him as a partner. Lol. I mean, he couldn't accuse anyone of lying - all we have to do is provide a link to the thread in the report. There's no denying it.

Too fucked up?

They must have read this because they're banning people from the Covid thread now.

Svengoolie007

They also increase risk of hospitalization in the young. Yet all this rhetoric and anger against the unvaccinated, acting like we're the reason for variants developing, and now they're admitting the vaxed are spreading it just as much.

BANNED! "Take your conspiracy theory elsewhere, but very far from here"

lulz faggots

I love how my question of “what could have gotten RLM banned” gets me a list of some of their most sensible opinions and some of their funniest jokes.

Just makes you realize how tedious and miserable it must be to constantly be looking to take offense.

Ion Fury's discord had a conversation involving the devs talking about hormone therapy and how they think it's wrong to be introducing that to kids. Someone managed to screen cap the discussion and showed it on social media which gained traction claiming that they were transphobe.

Did they suck the tranny cock that never forgives, or was it just empty platitudes?
I was hoping they'd do like Sense: A Cyberpunk Ghost Story and tell trannies to pound sand.

It's the same switch buying soy boys who want the steam deck. You'll never see it in the wild, but millions will be collecting dust on shelves as the best console in decades, just like the switch

Yes, I too like buzzword.

I will say that from a hardware standpoint it's very interesting and they're reasonably cheap for what they offer. I wouldn't be shocked if we end up seeing them bought more reliably by universities like with old Linux PS3s. Their main market may end up not being gamers at all.
