HOW DO I BOLD WHAT A STORY
I CAN'T BREATHE
 
I seriously recommend people to google "Scott Adams nazi" for shits and giggles because honestly I had no idea the loonies thought Adams was a nazi and of course the reasons for it are incredibly autistic.
Welcome to the late 2010s, where the words "Nazi" and "fascist" are thrown at so many people of different ethnicities, backgrounds, and political beliefs that they've become a complete joke.
 
Apparently NeoGAF is upgrading to XenForo. This whole event continues to be the best thing ever for the site. Here's hoping Reset can stave off implosion until the competitive pressure forces Malka into further site improvements.
That probably explains why I got a login pop up when I tried going to Neogaf just now with the text "Your connection to this site is not private".
 
Any half-decent sysadmin would throw up a maintenance landing page and not a HTTP Auth. This probably damages NeoGAFs SEO and shit, not to mention seems ghetto. If he wanted to test it with vhosts he could have setup with an IP-based mod_rewrite rule.

I get the feeling the guy Tyler gets to work on the server barely touches the shit, and he pays him once in awhile to do some work. I think I remember seeing Tyler talking about working on the server himself at one point.

So he's basically LowT.

So why don't they just actually reserve it for mods?

Oh, they're too technically incompetent. I forgot.
 
Funny enough Zelda in Breath of the Wild is probably the most fleshed out and human deception of Zelda yet. She is not just some girl you save but a full fleshed out character that feels like a real person. But that is still not good enough for Anita. It really shows that she does not care at all about the quality of the characters writing at all just that they do not violate any tropes she does not like.

Nintendo is smart to avoid politics. There two main audiences are children and adults who enjoyed there games as kids. Playing politics would only hurt those audiences and lose customers. There games may adapt to new gameplay but they don't want to lose the feel of what those franchises are about.

Edit: To clarify I meant that they don't follow political or social trends in development to please groups who demand changes to games. NoA is wrong for changing games both back then and now.

There was talk that Nintendo made BotW Link purposely androgynous to appease the Sarkeesian types demanding a female Link. That's as far as Nintendo will and should go for these people but of course it's never good enough. SJWs won't be satisfied until Link cuts his balls off and BECOMES the actual Zelda during the game.

Oh, and aside from Zelda holding off Ganon for a hundred years, Hyrule is a post-apocalyptic wasteland because the (male!) Hero failed, got everyone killed and had his mortally wounded body placed in a stasis chamber. In the game you are Link and the world is in ruin as a result of your fuckup.

But, but MEN. MALE HEROES.
 
But Link always looked kinda androgynous. I don't believe this.

I asked Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma about his design rationale for the character in light of the rumors. Here’s what he told me:

“Back during the Ocarina of Time days, I wanted Link to be gender neutral. I wanted the player to think ‘Maybe Link is a boy or a girl.’ If you saw Link as a guy, he’d have more of a feminine touch. Or vice versa, if you related to Link as a girl, it was with more of a masculine aspect. I really wanted the designer to encompass more of a gender-neutral figure. So I’ve always thought that for either female or male players, I wanted them to be able to relate to Link.”

Aonuma continued:

“During the development of Twilight Princess, I went a different route and created a version of Link that was more masculine. But after Twilight Princess I went back to the drawing board and decided Link should be a more gender-neutral character. Hence I created the version of Link that you see in Breath of the Wild. As far as gender goes, Link is definitely a male, but I wanted to create a character where anybody would be able to relate to the character.”

“So that’s why I think the rumor went around that Link could be a female. Because maybe the users were able to relate in that way."

So according to this, Link was designed to at times to either be androgynous or move toward more masculine or feminine, but for the benefit of relating to the player—not satisfying SJWs.
 
Amir0x update:
He was sentenced to 12 to 24 months incarceration, so it's a state prison sentence. That's to be followed by 2 years of probation after his release. He'll have to register as a sex offender for 15 years.

He has 6 months or so of time credit, so technically he could be paroled as early as the end of June.

This should get updated with that information soon.

He deserves an lolcow thread when he gets out.

There was that time Nintendo created Linkle and SJWs like Sarkeesian complained that she was just a female counterpart of Link, despite the fact she was exactly what they wanted.
