Guy posts the most vanilla one liner possible -

"Is it an April fools though?"

and then edits his post. It seemed a weird edit because it's such a nothing joke. Then I scrolled down and of course, there's the fun monitors jumping in to wag their fingers at him before they hit the mommy help button.

"Not sure using the Corona pandemic is ground for a mediocre April fools joke."

"Kind of have to assume no one is dumb enough to joke about the global pandemic thing."

It's a good example of why Resetera is the way it is.

Yes my work is taking it seriously, it's nice

And my boss is great. She sat with me for 30 min one day just help calm my distress

I'm still just extremely on edge and depressed but that's not going away short of quitting and staying home which isn't a long term feasible option
If I had to sit with an employee for 30 minutes to calm their distress about anything, I'd fucking fire their arse. Fuck that shit.

She's probably talking about lunch break

Lol

How is this a normal response, even if being antagonized or wrongfully accused of saying something? Just turn your PC off, Dictator.

I don't know man, his job is having to be in contact with distinguished mentally-challenged console warriors daily, since it's probably large part of their traffic, i think it's a reasonable response, if a bit on the tame side, in my opinion.
I would've gone for the "your mom's a whore" route.

I have a question to make:

I ordered a used Switch game via Amazon Warehouse, the item came with the right box but the wrong cartridge, so I filed for a return
(I'm not very happy, but the procedure seems pretty painless thankfully)
and described the problem as "received wrong item", technically what happened.
Do I need to somehow point out that the box and the game itself are mismatched before returning, or will they figure it out themselves?
(I wouldn't want someone to also receive the wrong item)

:derp

I worked in retail for about 10 years, most of the time as a manager.  The government hires we got (mentally challenged, disabled, etc.) were usually some of the best workers.  They didn't do as much as able-bodied/minded people, but they were hard workers, always showed up on time, had good attitudes, etc.  Someone like Excel is a pain in the ass.  If you're having to spend 30 minutes of your day as a retail manager with one specific person because of their mental state, that person really should be sent home.  That sort of attitude will spread and create discontent with the other employees.

Agreed on your first point.

While it's entertaining at the very least, I guess it's kind of sad that anyone would give these losers such a reactionary response.

He's the PC dude on DF, and he joined after doing PC stuff on hi own beforehand, and as a fellow PC dude watching the Sony bots spooge over how the PS5 ZOOM ZOOM WOW SSD is going to let it have the best looking open world games because it can stream better assets faster than everyone else is pretty fucking :mindblown

User banned (1 week): Hostility. Ignoring staff post.
Quote from: James Sawyer Ford
Journalists don’t get a free pass from spreading out just blatantly false information

Dictator was on her saying how the SSD won’t have a big impact on open world streaming of assets, which was patently false and called out by ex ND developer

How about you quote what i actually said and you will realise I did not say at all what you just typed.
how about this ResetERA moderation, how about you actually do something?

I am calling this complete and utter bullshit. I clearly never said anything of the sort and have made Videos in the topic about how the SSD enables game design.

Utter trash ResetERA - this place is utter trash.

I don't see anything wrong with this question

their mistake was doing a normal return instead of choosing "other" or contacting customer support to explain in better detail, "received wrong item" isn't specific enough

It's called a note.

e: amusingly I just returned a bunch of shit, and asked if I should include a copy of the invoice with the merch, and the lady told me that'd be appreciative since it'd be like a needle in a hay stack situation. (I forgot to include the invoice) self :derp

Genesis vs SNES versions of Mortal Kombat had me in a tizzy during freshman year. Better graphics or blood? What a conundrum.

I was never a console warrior :smug

When the Xbox was announced, a kid brought one of the first Xbox related magazines into our free period to show off how great the graphics were.

My PS2 fanboy energy was strong that day.

I dunno; I was over CONSOLE WARZZZZ after like third grade tbh  :P

It makes sense as a kid, when you don't have any money and back whatever your parents bought you, and need something to talk about at recess.  Then you get older and can go buy/rent/play whatever the hell you want and it shouldn't matter...yet somehow still does for so many folks.

Personally as a kid I was mostly a rabid vidiot and wanted to go play whatever my friends had- Nintendo, Sega, Atari, PC, whatever...GAMES

I lost an arm in the 8 Bit Home Computer wars of the mid 80’s. Was briefly re-enlisted during the Megadrive vs SNES skirmish, but by the time the Saturn had died, so had my passion. I don’t miss the front lines at all.

That really is a dumb business decision in the age of digital distribution

But yeah, this'll be their holiday title with the PS5 delayed.
Only Microsoft will be dumb enough to actually launch the new $799 Xbox in the midst of an economic collapse.

Physical still accounts for around half of sales;  how is it a dumb business decision to not ignore that half your sales might be majorly effected? 

And MS spoke candidly about the fact the economy might limit sales;  but yeah they R dumbzos!

Do you think the economy going to be okay when the game likely releases in the Fall with millions of people still unemployed because lol, second wave of the Rona hits?

Because you can take that digital money now and most fans who can't get their physical version will just double dip to play it.

Not to mention people are locked in their homes with PS4's and little to do.
Like Animal Crossing, sales of this game would explode with nothing much releasing alongside it and some games probably delayed till next year that aren't gold yet.
Not to mention they could probably still get it in peoples hands. I got my physical copy of Resident Evil 3 for Xbox One delivered today.

Microsoft is dumb because they're moving ahead on their holiday launch still and the release list will be barren come November if this keeps up
because big publishers like Ubisoft are currently not working at full capacity and deadlines were tight as it is.

Bought the place in 5+ different locations in order to try and get it as early as possible. That wasn’t enough as I clearly didn’t order enough copies so I started calling every store in my country (no joke) and FINALLY there’s a place who has it. I told’em to put it aside and I’m now taking a fucking train to get to the store.

I’m not into that whole ”unfair” business model. Not for this fucking game.

Because you can take that digital money now and most fans who can't get their physical version will just double dip to play it.

Not to mention people are locked in their homes with PS4's and little to do.
Like Animal Crossing, sales of this game would explode with nothing much releasing alongside it and some games probably delayed till next year that aren't gold yet.
Not to mention they could probably still get it in peoples hands. I got my physical copy of Resident Evil 3 for Xbox One delivered today.

Microsoft is dumb because they're moving ahead on their holiday launch still and the release list will be barren come November if this keeps up
because big publishers like Ubisoft are currently not working at full capacity and deadlines were tight as it is.

Sony's doing it for the same reason DC is suspending all digital comic sales while they're unable to ship physical books: not piss off retail partners. The PSP GO caused a minor shitfit back in the day with stores threatening to not carry it because they couldn't also sell games, and that system needed all the help it could get. I'm sure Sony has that in mind right now.

I'm a digital only convert but the entire world isn't ready just yet.

That would make more sense but most stores selling video games here have already transitioned to mail delivery only.
I guess Sony doesn't want to deny the Gamestop fans and employees their sweaty fat nerd and clueless parent experience of the video game purchasing ritual.  :idont
