The Redswarm and Suas stuff was revolutionary, and any gaming words were never going to register when eve players and 4chan was a perfect circle.

Yeah Archeage was iirc basically like BFM, dbrb, Kimsemus (less sure on him in that one) and other folks trying to all grab the reigns of power after the game launched. In a way I guess I should be grateful for DBRB and later Xenuria because I probably would have won eve a hell of a lot more slowly of either of those two were not tolerated in goonfleet.

I was part of a group of people who mined the trit for the titan evil sulu blew up and when we heard the coms we laughed and laughed, and the fact that it's still on YouTube brings me great joy. edit: I just remembered that I also mined for days for the -LV- titan which got blown up while cooking and oh wow were we bad at eve learnincurve fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Jul 13, 2022 |

NtotheTC posted:There's a number of goon discords for various games or hobbies that I'm a member of that are full of genuinely great people. The combination of shared history but also maturity (read: we are all old people now) make them nice places to be, good moderation too. I guess the larger the community gets the greater risk there is of it getting poisoned. All my hobbies like simracing etc are fairly niche. the ones with genuinely great people arent stuck in like 2008 or whatever, but theres some incredibly yikes goon poo poo still. i think albion had some giant melt down and there sprobably others where some disgusting creep takes the early reigns until theyre ousted after enough people find out theyre a sack of poo poo

Popping in to say in 2016 noms told me I had battered wife syndrome when I went to bat to get Globby back into goons. He hit the right conclusions but for the wrong reasons and didn't win any points with that analogy. This has me reflecting on tasteless poo poo I did, and while I can't remember most of it, I'm pretty happy that I set MiniLuv up to be haven for Rainbowswarm people  What a thread. Everytime I get the urge to Eve, I come back to this thread and it usually kills that impulse, but we're using industrial strength poo poo this time.

this is probably a pretty good time to point out that Innominate got absolutely shitfaced on stream one night and explained, in no uncertain terms: 1. azov battalion are cool guys 2. using nazi propaganda against Russia is cool 3. Nazi propaganda is cool 4. Jews have no place in Europe he did this to mcwolf and I as she argues with him and I beg him to just shut up (we are both Jewish) so yeah Alex, might want to get ahead of this one while you can - and stop calling my wife a nazi in your loving echo chamber, you giant loving taint

The way mittens talks to people close to him in private is disgusting and he’s a legitimately lovely person. It’s disillusioning both to see just how impossibly deep the echoing milky black chasm that lay under that mask is, as well as see how many people are either invested in the mask remaining intact as it increasingly covers less and less but also how many are the same monsters with their own masks. What a bunch of arrogant, mean, and completely disassociated simpletons this alliance turned out to be run by.

Roudin was a GSF event planner for years and referred to another Jewish guy with a Hitler meme (edit: and said he was going to put him in an oven) because he made the suggestion to uh *checks notes* use the IPhone covid tracking app after the DC meet?? Anyway Nom dragged his feet on doing anything about that too and I screamed that Actual Nazis do exist in video games and try to recruit from them and he finally got banned.

It’s a running joke in delta because my wife drives a diesel VW, has a german shepherd, and made a comment about at least Germans got a highway system or some other bad joke when we started dating. My wife is also a borderline tankie so the whole thing was just a fun way to annoy her when she was in the room while I was on comms.
