  • The Helldivers 2 Community needs to get a fucking grip on itself

  • Okay so this is entirely going off the top of my head as I remembered it.

    So in 2017, the MeToo movement was strong (actually I just learned it started as early as 2006 on MySpace, just gained lots of momentum by 2017). And, it was strong and going where lots of allegations were fired off from women who were sexually assaulted or objectified or other similar things afflicted to them.

    And allegations were made towards Alec Holowka, who was the Developer/Programmer/Musician of Night in the Woods. He was alleged to have physically and emotionally abused Zoe Quinn in 2012. These allegations didn't come to light until August of 2019. Within a day after the allegation, the team behind Night in the Woods immediately severed ties with Alec, they claimed they had evidence and all that.

    Four days after the allegation and the severation, Alec committed suicide. Now this sparked a huge drama-storm of its own and has heavily divided the Night in the Woods community. Because, the allegations were left unresolved which made a lot of people think that Zoe Quinn just wanted to ruin Alec's life. Keep in mind, MeToo was a wildfire of its own because as we've learned later on after that wave, people were found to have made lots of unproven allegations just to ruin another's reputation.

    Not to say all of them were unproven, it is just a large amount of alleged claims were. It was just exhausting to hear yet another allegation come up after so many years after the fact that it happened and then it becomes a giant he-said she-said dramasode that goes on and on and on. You can see the problem. Also, the whole GamerGate thing was happening too.

    All I know from the whole thing was that people really, really hated Zoe Quinn. It was a huge messy situation that went off the rails, divided a community, alienated people about MeToo, made people hate Zoe .etc

    Just, ugh. I hated everything about that incident. It's just another incident where people didn't sit the fuck down, analyze things closely, figure out who is telling the truth and coming to conclusions based on those findings. People rushed to conclusions right off the bat, immediately sided with Zoe just because she was a woman and demonized Alec just because he was a man.

  • I'll vouch some for this. I had tried getting back into Terraria some odd months ago. So much has changed, you'll end up going to the guides almost guaranteed more than ever. It's very overwhelming now, to where I'm honestly missing the earlier days. Like, before Moon Lord was added in.

  • What is your oldest living presence on the World Wide Web?

  • My GaiaOnline account, created in May 2007, still stands. I can't log into it anymore, but its presence still lingers on the site.

    Everything else I've known prior to that, is now lost to time.

  • You can't tell me that Valve cannot hire a dedicated team of forum mediators to help mitigate the toxicity happening in their forums. They're a multi-billion dollar company that could've made it happen ten times over by now, but choose not to and prefer people to be subjected to a snail team that takes their time getting to you. While letting the worst of autonomy take action.

  • Oil and gas prices rapidly rise as Iran war shows no signs of letting up

  • Not that it matters, really.

    This is a guy who has, time and time again, demonstrated how above he believes himself to be of morals, processes and conditions.

    He's just going to be a stubborn prick and we'll see a lot more government shutdowns over what he feels is non-agreeable terms.

  • U.S. orders staff to leave Saudi Arabia as war spreads; Iran rules out immediate ceasefire

    Jump

  • Gee, I can't imagine why Iran now doesn't want immediate ceasefires.

    The United States just cannot stop fucking with everything in the Middle-East. Not since the Gulf Wars and that's going by my memory growing up. We learned nothing from the Gulf Wars. We learned nothing from the entire War on Terror that 9/11 kicked off. We learned nothing from everything involving Syria. And we're learning nothing from this.

  • "Stay tuned": Graham promises "Cuba is next" in a global war against "bad guys"

  • I've always said that, Trump's terms as president, are like as if they were George W Bush's extra terms. Only the insanity turned to 11. The corruption is out in the open, for all to see. The accountability, gone. Responsibility, gone. Honor, Virtue, Duty and Service to the public in the country, all gone. It's all a self-serving campaign of chaotic desecration to any and all ideals of what America is supposed to be about.

  • There are people on the Fediverse who are trying desperately to shit in it enough to where it is comparable to Reddit.

    People are clamoring for more people to be on the Fediverse? I don't know anymore if more people available would be the answer. We could use more microcommunities, but I don't know about people.

  • What do you wish you spent more time doing?

    Jump

  • Watching TV and movies.

    I just simply do not do that anymore and I'm not counting YouTube as watching anything. I've squandered so many subscriptions to streaming services, bought so many DVDs from thrifting and all. All for it to never be watched.

    I'll add reading books too.

  • I'm tired of those crowds and the hardcore gamer crowds. They believe that they are the best of the best and should therefore, be the ones dictating how games should go. I've seen this in real-time with games like Rocket League, where the elitists controlled the asylum and their input was more valuable to Psyonix than compromising so as to make everyone happy.

    You can't even play a casual match anymore without getting penalized when you leave it, since it's casual and the game places an AI bot in your place to remedy this. All because the elitists, who primarily play Competitive, felt that you should be penalized anyways even in modes where Competitive isn't the primary focus. Imagine if you were playing single player games and whenever you died or your run ends, you decide to quit the game in frustration.

    So you come back to the game later and you're locked out from playing a single-player game because the people over in the multiplayer side of the spectrum, complained too much about how people quit games that wouldn't otherwise affect them and the developer taking their side. That's how ridiculous it got with Rocket League.

    This is why I don't play multiplayer with random people anymore, I am reluctant to gripe about frustrations I have with already hard games when I question the difficulty factor. Because all that it is going to turn into, is just dogpiling with people stabbing at me and screaming I should 'git gud' or 'stop playing games because games are reserved for real gamers' or 'go back to playing your shitty 3-match game'.

  • What are your views on homeschooling?

    Jump

  • Parents may hate the idea of the public school system because everything is government-approved and streamlined. However, it isn't like those same parents have a better idea in how to educate their children on their own, on top of everything else they have to do as a parent.

    Also, 9 times out of 10, homeschooling involves lots and lots of religious brainwashing.
