I don't see a reason to block the Podima, some plague rats, or Harold incidents. (I don't see a reason to keep peeking at any PMF thread Harold might have though.) The Larry and Synthy issue is probably a no-go on the "No Free X Posts" rule more than anything. Zulily Zoetrope posted:I think this thread should also be a space for having a good time with enemies

Please stop fighting over touhou music. Also Captain Invictus only posted touhou stuff because someone else already dropped some music into the thread. And I don't really know much about touhou, but I know enough to say it's not "vtuber adjacent" so whatever.

Gulping Again posted:oh i got them mixed up. Rutibex was that vein of soft bigot who occasionally let some racism about Muslims, homophobia, transphobia, or vile misogyny leak out over the years across a lot of different thread, and he should've been hit with a permaban a long while ago. But they were little nuggets buried in his rap sheet between big segments of more pedestrian stupid video game arguments. Still, it was very funny how he'd brag about making pirated board games by printing out scans of boards and card pieces and taping them to cereal boxes. And after he was threadbanned from the Path of Exile thread he made an alt to keep posting bad build advice there, and got upset when people knew it was him and his alt got banned.

Nothing quite captures the nail biting edge of your seat dice rolling of Talisman. I would never besmirch the good name of Talisman. Just look at this custom set I made, pulling content from every beautiful edition of Talisman as well as dozens of great homebrew internet expansions. Over 1,000 adventure cards split into 5 decks (outer, inner, timescape, dungeon, city), 250 spells, and 80 classes. I initially mixed in Pathfinder Adventure cards but have since made the set 100% Talisman. Keep in mind that Talisman has a board that looks something like this when you add on all the expansions:  He was constantly recommending this game to new people. Zulily Zoetrope posted:I don't think there's any harm in wanting both witches and computers to be real, so long as you don't also dehumanize a bunch of marginalized groups for some reason in the process.

I will choose an alternative dialog path....Taeke posted:It looks like the kind of thing I would've loved to sink my teeth in when I was 14 years old and had like infinite spare time. I was holding off on getting Cyberpunk 2077 until things got patched into a functioning state. I heard they're planning to completely overhaul the melee combat system, so I was waiting on that and/or the DLC to see how that shapes up. Gambit from the X-Men posted:is wo long fun? I've never played a souls or soulslike, but i enjoy DMC, bayonetta, and dragon's dogma, and it's on gamepass, the greatest deal in gaming I was enjoying Wo Long and I want to get back to it but I think I prefer Nioh 2's combat style to Wo Long's in a lot of ways. I will note that it's a Team Ninja B-team that worked on it, and not the dedicated Nioh team, and I think it feels a bit more limited and stiffer because of that. If it's on Gamepass though then it's free, and it doesn't hurt to try out.

Thinking about this again and laughing  breadnsucc posted:I watched the video a few times to try to figure out what happened, but you can see that person get assaulted, you can also watch videos of the same poo poo heads confessing to the assault later that same day on camera lmao. Anyways if you watch, you can see exactly when Tiny does get hit, at least one shot hits his ballistic shield and ricochets into his foot. You can see him flinch and the ballistic shield jump and such. You can see that the person doesn't use or move their left arm much after the assault, I'm wondering if they broke it. Identifed by cops because after the shooting he ran a small distance away, changed shirts, and the panopticon caught his dorky tribal tattoo on camera  Then a few days later cops caught him vandalizing a tattoo shop with a spray can and took him in.

HopperUK posted:It's not the same as this guy but we booted a few people from Games because they only ever posted in the Star Citizen thread - I mean, only EVER posted there, this is the Star Citizen forum for them - and they hadn't absorbed the rest of SA's general culture and how it's shifted over the years. So one long-time poster there thought it was fine to start expressing textbook transphobic 'I just wish they wouldn't dilute what it means to be a woman' poo poo, and when they got booted suddenly there were two more all 'oh it's all WITCH HUNTS now? it's all WRONGTHINK now? people can't have OPINIONS now?' A lot of the Star Citizen thread are (or at least used to be) reddit transplants that migrated over specifically just for SC chat. I remember at one point someone did the "Boy this user sure does suck [posts hyperlink code that always links back to your profile]" joke in the thread, and one of them didn't get the joke and started sending angry PMs to the jokester and made a couple defensive posts in the thread about it. To that thread's credit though most of the posters told the transphobes to shut up or gently caress off. Doctor Goat posted:There was also them trying to dox FAU, only being able to find a dog, and it not being a dog that is in any way related to FAU I remember looking at that thread because some people told me some chat logs of me talking in IRC were posted there. They were in the middle of trying to doxx Baby Black Goku because he trolled the creepy Schmorky thread until it got gassed and I think he was the one where they allegedly found his dog but it wasn't actually his. They were also gleeful about how they'd scraped all the pet picture threads and could "doxx everyone's pets" now. It was a lot of obviously aggrieved GBS 2.0 posters who didn't like that people thought GBS 2.0 sucked for some reason...

If anyone really wants to talk more about why nobody noticed that Driftingmouse was a permabanned psycho for a long while then that's definitely something for SAD shop talk and how easy or reliable alt checks are and not here. If he said something funny or whatever, sure, bring it up here, but it sounds like he was more of a miserable creep than anything.

Yeah no idea lol. I guess if not for jerkoff reasons, then just to see how long he could be a constant low-key irritant with no redeeming qualities before the hammer dropped on his head? It's weird how often that happens here, but I suppose part of that is this is one of the few places that would allow "gimmick" posting for more than a couple attempts before being shut down.

For future reference re: dissenting opinions on the active COVID threads, I think it'd be more productive to have a better counter to "it's not al like that" than telling the person to gently caress off or whatever. The deadly bon bons and dog bricking posters ate bans because they did stick out above the sea of nonsense chatter and white noise. They were funny/horrifying moments, and if there's more amusing bits to have a passing laugh at, I'm fine with them getting linked here. If there's horrifying, gross, or depressive stuff that's not being stopped, I can take it to the mods or admins because I find that poo poo intolerable. Or bring it another mod/admin, or post them in SAD so they can be acted on. Nuns with Guns fucked around with this message at 14:40 on Apr 11, 2023 |

pentyne posted:The dog bricker required a thread in QCS because it was only a minor probe, and like clockwork it devolved into the "concern trolls/crew" arguements. Yeah and Mr. Bon Bon needed a thread there before he ate a ban as well. And this was after months of posting weird fanfics about how the nazis had infiltrated this comedy forum from top to bottom, plus the way he encouraged and constructed those creepy FBI Most Wanted lists of posters. That's what I mean though, if there's still rancid poo poo that's floating around, I'd rather it be pointed out so we could flush it. I do wish we could reach a state where every criticism of posts, specific posting behavior, overly-permissive modding, etc. could just be co-posters being concerned and not "an attack on ~my forum/thread~ by An Enemy Stand" but I don't know what can be done about that. The political discussion spaces seem to get that pretty bad, maybe just from the way political discourse pushes people into rigid binaries online? I dunno, I guess that is beyond the scope of this thread, too.

I don't really like it when threads are winking back and forth at each other and eventually the dumbest, most obnoxious people in either thread decide a civil war is underway and start jumping into the threads and start turning both into gibbering flame wars. I don't believe it's a coordinated thing and rarely some properly directed grudge. Let's just skip over auditing each other's recent posts and find something else to laugh at.Spanish Manlove posted:It was the hell thread and was a really funny idea at the time but it was the dumbest possible plan to deal with that issue. What ended up happening was that it just created a bunch of antibiotic resistant bacteria that rotted and festered until the point that amputation was needed. The hell thread was a combination of a gamergate thread, fat people mockery, and something else? It sounded like a really miserable combination of stuff that wouldn't lead anywhere good.

Feels Villeneuve posted:i like the character designs but the game is just kind of boring... Some designs are cool, some get silly but I guess it is an anime robot ninja game.

fun hater posted:the webcomic thread in cccc used to be total dog poo poo but its good now. i forgot why it got exiled but the bss comic thread has a meltdown if you dare say anything negative about webcomics. or anything positive about webcomics. or anything about webcomics It was like one person who was over-reactive to negativity, but there are so many other places to talk about webcomics here that people just shifted tabs. Oxxidation posted:the CCCC thread was originally in YCS and more of a standard mock thread, though it did occasionally dig up gems like It Hurts!! when it moved to byob it kept doing its thing for a while until some people started posting scans of published comics, which vastly improved the vibe and had everyone looking out for things they enjoyed rather than things to poo poo on I think the CCCC webcomic thread was originally inheriting both the YCS posting and the Ctrl+Alt+Del mockthread that was rebooted in GBS 2.0 after webcomic mockthreads were banned from BSS for being too sociopathic. And to be a little fair to the BSS webcomic thread, there was a period where posting a webcomic that was... I guess too lame by some arbitrary metric? Would lead to GBS 2.0 "lol if you care about webcomic" eruption before things mellowed out. So I guess the touchyness about negativity is rooted in not having that kind of miserable posting come back.
