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

I've long believed that there is such a thing as being over-diagnosed/over-medicalised, especially when it comes to mental health issues and ResetERA people seem to embody this unique pathology. Spend enough time tearing up every scab to re-examine the wound and it'll never heal and probably get worse.
With lolcows we often talk about munchausen's syndrome, but the modern psychiatric industry is munchausen's by proxy on the entire population.
 
The best part is that Nothing Loud dude doesn't just have one therapist. He has three therapists. Two for himself for some reason and then a third relationship therapist for him and his husband/boyfriend. (Plus a psychiatrist so he can get drugs.) I don't begrudge anyone having a therapist (and psychiatrist if also necessary) but why the fuck would you need or want more than one? How much of his week is him just talking about himself to other people?


There aren't really that many journalists or developers that post there. There's like, four, total. Schreier, the Digital Foundry guy they didn't run off as transphobic, the one DICE sound guy who is surprisingly critical of the forum, another EA guy. There used to be more, but it was never more than double digits. They've banned plenty of them too or deliberately run them off. The biggest developer of all they had was Frank O'Connor, who is technically the head canon guy for Halo (but many suspect is paid to stay uninvolved with the franchise), and they banned him permanently for "racism" where he was trying to do penance by acknowledging his own white privilege and inherent racist views.

The "verified" tag is and always has been bullshit. Both here and other places (GAF, The Bore) have investigated most of those and they're like "writers/editors" of sites that get no hits, freelancers who get published nowhere or "self-employed" developers who have never actually released anything or so on.
He needs a therapist to help him get over that one bad grindr date that ended up in him taking it up the angus. He needs another therapist to help him get over his CRIPPLING pot addiction. And let's not forget his advisor for his PHD who also has to deal with all of the above.

I have no idea how someone like that can function.

Is there a MAPera staff conference in the docket?
Snoys and Steamies are literally the last groups they have left.

There’s no way this guy’s PHD is in a serious field, right? It’s gotta be gay studies or something.

I’d tell this guy he needs help, but I don’t think the 4th therapist is gonna be the one that makes things right.

It's in chemical/bioengineering, while in that linked thread he was loathe to identify it, he has a bunch of other threads where he has.

It might be good research, academics are nuts. (Powerlevel: for example, I post on the Kiwi Farms.)
 
Whenever Ree happens to actually discuss video games, it's no better than their discussions about "politics".

Over this last week, I observed a fair number of embarrassing threads, specifically when it comes to prices. Forspoken is priced at 70 USD on Steam, and around 80€ in the countries that use the currency. Bearing in mind that US prices do not include taxes, while European prices do.


Square is trying to bring 80€/$70 games on PC with Forspoken & Final Fantasy VII: Intergrade​

Lol "trying".
Squares not the first to "try" this, and it was always going to happen with next gen games.
Inflation is a real thing, and the reality is that we were still 10 dollars behind from matching the real value of 60 bucks in 2005 with 70 dollars in 2020, let alone this year's "transitory inflation" born out of the coof-lockdownerism that Retardera fully supports even now.

I have some amount of sympathy for people getting paid a couple hundred of euros a month (how's that EU working out for ya?), but I have to say that I'm not sure that you should be buying any games if you're like this guy.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that he's talking about his monthly salary. But even then, I question your money managing skills and/or how many games your buying that you can't treat yourself to the luxury (because that's what vidya is) to a full priced game on occasion.

Alex Battaglia is a class-A moron. Why shouldn't you be paying full price for a new, next-gen only game?

And again, it's as if no one realizes the tax differential in these prices.

Piracy is a service issue.
Anything to absolve yourself of the responsibility of not having the money for something you want, or just admitting that what you're doing is theft.

Excuse the boomer-ness here, but this smacks of consoomerist entitlement. This kind of mentality, combined with others displayed in threads like this are why we're headed for the "you will own nothing and like it" state of the world.

So if the price isn't worth it to you, don't buy it. Duh. I can't even remember the last time I paid full price for a game. Wish list it and wait for a sale.

But if they're on RetardEra and claim to be that, they aren't. It's made up bullshit. It's very common for bullshit troons to claim to be intersex, despite it being a vanishingly rare condition.

yea its extremely rare and im not sure why its included in the lgb alphabet
 
The fuck is intersex?
A downstairs mix up but people like the ones on resetera believes, or at least pretends to believe, that it's like in the animes where it means being born with a huge functioning cock and pristine teenage pussy. Somehow this is conclusive proof that mentally deranged men are really women if they get hard when wearing panties.

About the only thing I agree with about these condition with the whack jobs is I think that unless it's an immediate health threat, they should probably leave surgery until the child is able to give meaningful input on how they want to treat it, or for that matter, leave it alone.
