Resetera is filled to the brim with angry bitter people with nothing positive going on in their lives so they all come together and constantly confirm each other how shit their lives is, constantly telling each other how improving your situation is not worth it because the world is going to hell, that they should cut off all contact with family, friends or co-workers who vaguely disagree with them about random topics. They don't want people to build a real life support network, it's like there's a push on users to depend on resetera for socialization.

It's a never ending flow of negativity, self loathing, defeatism, and pure toxicity.

It's not normal to see so many posts from users talking about how taking breaks from the forum has done so much good for them because they couldn't handle the negativity anymore.

The admins should ask themselves what kind of climate they are fostering.

Resetera has become the river of slime from GhostBusters 2

This is going to be the finest movie Woody Allen has ever made. And he also needs to cast Larry David as Simentov. Allen can play Levi.

I have a fantastic title, but it's kinda (extremely) racist. So I'm absolutely not typing it. I gift it freely to any Jewish resetera member who can own it or disown it. But it's a pun on:

The Kite Runner.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Era does a pretty respectable job of helping to police this industry. The previous thread may have actually saved lives because it dug up some off-site shit, thanks to the Trevor Project donation which we now know is going to still happen. We've been the instigating, central point for numerous journalistic moves, including -- but absolutely not limited to -- the original story on places like GI concerning this.

It's not a stretch to say we could have done more.

This is one of my more favorite things about this thread are the same six or so people storming into topics like these, going "ERA NEEDS SOMETHING TO GET MAD AT EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!" when like, that's not the tone at all

And yet these are the same people that'll get bitchy about getting banned and probably run to the bore to whine about their bans until the timer lapses

She's also into being a development bottleneck, if the whisperings are to be believed. So much for pragmatism.

I don't know anything about those whisperings, but I do know that every time she speaks publicly it's very reasonable and she treats game development like a business instead of a charity, which is the exact thing RE can't wrap their minds around. But since she's a female dev, they don't dare go as hard against her as they do other devs. It's fun watching them contort themselves after each interview she gives.

Quote from: Jaded Alyx

1. It received more updates THAN THEY PLANNED. This indicates it was more successful than they thought it would be.
2. We know characters from games like ARMs and Xenoblade didn't get in Smash Ultimate due to timing. Even so, they still managed to put in Spring Man as an Assist Trophy.
3. Smash is not an indication of anything. It's the biggest fighting game, that doesn't mean fighters in general on Switch are "huge".
4. You keep saying nobody is playing ARMS. Where is your proof of this?

Detailed semantics on what people in the thread are stating!

Quote from: Jaded Alyx

You're somehow not understanding.

Just because they don't continue with updates/content, doesn't mean it wasn't a success. Nobody said that.

I said, a developer is not going to spend time and resources on making more previously unplanned content - especially free content - if the game was not a success.

whole thread is some serious

Even a design like Jacqui in MK 11 is considered "suspect"

Jacqui Bridges currently is probably the most suspect Mortal Kombat character...which given how it used to be is quite the statement
