Hmm, Well, Extra Credits did it again. This time they tried to jam the idea of "Nazi's are bad people !" into their talk about video games so hard that they are now about receiving 20 thumbs down for every 6 thumbs up.
Meanwhile, yeah I agree with the general message behind what they are saying. We must stop trying to normalize the idealisms of Nazi's. However to blame Video Gamers is Jack Thompson levels of insane to me, especially if you see how the arguements are formed.
Heck I am sure that the fact that there is a president in the U.S.A. who is being called a Nazi like clockwork is doing harm to 'normalize the Nazi's' than a game called "The life of Erwin Rommel, the VR experience"
No use looking that up either, I just had to think of a stupid game title and I had a brain fart about Fennec Foxes earlier...Wednesday, 03-Jul-19 23:23:30 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@drinkingpony Honestly all they can achieve with this is getting nazis to be seen positively in the long run. Think jews for example, they were universally disliked up until wwii, the nazis screwed up so badly with it than they became a group you can't criticize in most of the western world.
More so since what they call "nazis" have nothing to do with what an actual nazi is. Trump is a good example, he might have not delivered on most of the stuff he promised, but anyone else would be laureate after as US president being one of three main actors in the end of the korean war and restart of diplomatic relationships between the DPRK and the USA. Give it a few decades, and once the groups that screech about Trump cease to exist, he'll be seen in an overwhelmingly positive way in historical retrospectives. If these idiots conflate the words "nazi" and "trump", the logical conclussion is that he's a nazi, and therefore nazis are a boogeyman, okish people that are hated by fanatical groups. -
@nerthos You know, I agree with you. But you should probably go watch the video. Heck go with the straight up reply video of this guy https://youtu.be/KngleLumR_U .
I guess the biggest problem is that EC thinks that we should stop to normalize the Nazi's. Those being ACTUAL Nazi's and their ideology, by being extremely patronising to the point of nausea in Multiplayer Games.
Also to tinker with the matchmaking system to do the opposite of rewarding Nazi's. Which is just a system so insane that the moment you write it down you realize that you punish ALL players because your game has Nazi's in them.
Also it was stated that because 'safeguards are being eroded', you might not go off of a website like stormfront because you do not mind playing as Hanz Mit Der Flammenwerfer in some game.
But the birth of a meme, the absolute beginning. "There you are, playing a game, and all of a sudden bam you're a Nazi, you did not ask for this" is golden. I mean, you did buy the game.

It feels so weird to be on SPC with some of the people from here, but half a decade after, all of us old and wise now. But I'm thankful for those connections, and for this place's uncanny ability to bring to light the most interesting people.

@drinkingpony I don't really even get the big problem with drag. It's loud and over the top, sure, but it doesn't have to be sexy or kinky.

@thismightbeauser Doesn't matter. There is shock and awe. Does not matter if they even raise concerns you agree with or not. I am just annoyed that it makes a large enough stink that I hear the screeching harpies on both sides of the arguement and it makes me sigh.

@nerthos Nah, Rural California would get shafted there because of where the urban areas are. Either a) Rural California ends up still being dominated by cities in the northern part of the state, or B) the urban parts of the state are split into MULTIPLE states, leading to urban over-representation.

Gotta love being 'shamed' for playing a video game in offline mode. Why is there even such a mode if the game then mocks you for using it ?

@nerthos Alas, it is woven into the loading screen tips of Rage 2. So you would not just have to plant the Jolly Roger flag deep into its hearts, but also mod out the loading screens.
I do not oppose any of those idea's by any means but for the sake of everything I like and love, I do not think it should have ever been there in the first place.Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@mrmattimation So fighting racism with racism? that's one way to go about it, I guess.

@mrmattimation Inb4 people on the right of those leftists get ultra-confused since they claim they can no longer seperate the fascist-leftists from the actual-leftists.
Which results in a repeat of the blue-wave that never was.
For the sake of the sanity of both the American voters and everyone abroad taking notes. Please don't.
Try to unite people instead of separating them.

My spoilerfree opinion on the ending of GoT.
FFS I just saw the episode where they threw Cercei in jail. That is only Season 5. I do not even KNOW anything about the ending of GoT. I do know that the 2 main guru's are the most hated toons in the eyes of the fans, such a strong reaction from the fanbase I have not seen for YEARS. The only thing that comes close is when I was in spittle range of some uber-nerd's litteral waterfall of words regarding how 'Han shot first'.
Talking about Star Wars. The main guru's behind GoT are going to get their own Star Wars trilogy. But also Ryan Johnson was supposed to get his own trilogy. Meanwhile if I can take this thing anywhere close to serious http://rainbowdash.net/url/874466
If I had a betting sort of personality though I know what I would put my money on. But I am not. I'm just going to enjoy the Hindenburg-Train-Airbus-Hybrid-Crash while sipping my favorite beverage.
It makes me feel like a winner.Tuesday, 21-May-19 01:51:45 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@nerthos I think they need a different petition, to make the ending match the books'.

@mrmattimation You definitely can considering they're both starting other projects and massively negative image can make investors reconsider their choice of director or writer.
-
@nerthos [because the show writers got extremely focused on being unpredictable]
Ohhnoo... I heard the Ryan Johnson story one too many times before, I did not like it then. I'll assuredly will not like it now.

@scribus People like to be edgy, especially when anonymous. Heck the number of people that I 'raped' in online multiplayer games is probably astronomical. ... And then I learned what the word actually meant.
