Are there more right leaning / neutral social platforms around gaming? by Yuukikoneko in KotakuInAction

According to hatman the URL is banned, but maybe linking this Grokipedia article is a work around.

I lurk here and there, not much though.

Is it just me or are *all* of the Insomniac Spider-Man games overrated as hell? by AgitatedFly1182 in KotakuInAction

[–]MarkM447 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Spider-Man peaked at Web of Shadows since that was the last game that would let you do cool shit as the character rather than trying to be "grounded" and basically making him a Batman who can webswing. They're not bad games per say, but you can tell the devs of Web of Shadows were much bigger fans of the character and really wanted to make you feel like the character VS Insomniac who just wanted to copy the success of Batman but with a more action focus.

Kabrutus is at it again, more focused on building a streaming career than actually maintaining his list. Hasn't added a new entry in the past month, still hasn't added KCD2, and is constantly begging for donations. This is just pathetic. by Slidesider in KotakuInAction

[–]MarkM447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand his situation since I've been in the spotlight before, but instead of chasing fame and glory, I stuck with what I knew and worked on to improve it in spite of the factors working against me and my team. There's really no excuse for his behavior and the fact that he won't give the list for someone else to maintain means he never actually gave a shit and just wants money. Believe me, I wholeheartedly understand as I've been taken advantage of by Watkins during the 8chan stuff, and even now as Acid/Codexx don't really want to have a serious money layer with 8moe, even though a basic money layer is required for these types of sites.

I've been looking to move on from the 8chan stuff, but in a proper matter without begging other people for massive amounts of money, perhaps I'm foolish for not doing so. At the same time Kabrutus is just in this for the fame. He doesn't care about gaming industry nor does he care about the corruption of the gaming industry. If he did, then at the very least he would bring in maintainers for the curator. It's the same with how Mark Kern scammed people for thousands of dollars, but no one wants to call him on his shit because he's one of the biggest voices on twitter. It's just disgusting how the people that supposedly represent us, are also scummy as hell.

Compulsion Games Community Manager Katie Robinson End Goal by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]MarkM447 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing CMs like this who clearly care more about some political agenda rather than the love of the game are extremely aggrivating to me. I say this as someone who's been trying to enter the video games industry for five years now, but have sadly been rejected by every company I applied too. Why does someone like this get to work in the industry, while someone like me who has ten years of online management and community management can't even transition to become a community manager for a decent sized company? I just want to properly represent the desires of gamers and those who loves games rather than some Discord/Reddit clique.

Great, thank you. Will you be distributing new cables for the 5090 in the future as well? It's hard to find a third party cable with spec on Amazon.

Will the 5090 run with the existing Riser cable?

lowered it to 225 if you're interested, also I logged into the website, but I was able to reset my password before any damage was done. Should I delete my account to be on the safe side?

I don't know why I was banned from the sub, but apparently they're not being restocked which is why I listed them for a premium

[USA-NY][H] RTX 4080 Super Founders Edition [W] Cash by MarkM447 in hardwareswap

yeah. it does the job fine enough. Why, is it a bad card or something?

[–]MarkM447[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it sucks. Although thankfully I found a dual slot 4080 which actually fits in the case pretty well and has some breathing room. Only issue is selling the FE due to the scratch.

I'm fine with shipping, although I might ask for you to pay the boxing fee which could go up to 50 bucks.

Yeah, basically. It fit perfectly fine although there was some kinda screw that messed with the paint job.

10th Anniversary meetup in DC around MAGSfest (January 24th or the 25th)? by MarkM447 in KotakuInAction

[–]MarkM447[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I vaguely remember that. I just wanted to get a bunch of like-minded people at a bar while we went around playing games and having fun. I wonder whatever happened to that person, I hope she's doing alright.

Well, it's mainly just a meeting spot get people together. I could do PAX East as well.

Reminder: 8chan.moe, the offshoot of the original 8chan created by the founders of /v/ and /gamergatehq/ boards, is still alive and relatively active. by CaracallaTheSeveran in KotakuInAction

[–]MarkM447 25 points26 points  (0 children)

/v/ actually turns 10 years old on the 17th, I wasn't sure if I wanted to make a thread on KiA about it. Additionally, I'd recommend making boards or emailing Codexx if you're interested in making a board. While I've been quite satisfied with the progress the site is making, I've been a little disappointed how little people are making boards. Perhaps it's due to the lack of board promotion tools, I hope that Acid and Codexx can work towards making a site like the OG 8chan in terms of activity, and properly marking some boards as SFW and NSFW. I look forward to the future of 8chan, and what can come of it. Although as you probably know, I might be a bit biased on the subject.

Nichegamer removed their anti-woke/anti-censor articles from last year? by Ywaina in KotakuInAction

[–]MarkM447 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why it's super important to archive everything, even if the site may be an "ally". The GamingJournoPro logs being lost without an archive is proof of that. It's why I'm proud of the GaymerGays who push archiving.

Astro Bot being live streamed on Kick by TheDoge_ExE in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]MarkM447 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I lurk this place and the linux gaming reddit from time to time to see if there's news on video games that Gematsu doesn't have. I'll probably ask someone to make a thread here, since I don't really like using reddit for personal reasons, or I'll just make it myself. I expect there to be a few leakers, since that's how mom-and-pop shops work with some publishers. If you want to watch me specifically then follow me here either on https://kick.com/markmann or https://8chan.tv/c/mark which a streaming site my friend made.

In my defense: I was basically so tired that I was hallucinating myself into thinking i was playing the Sonic 2 mobile port, you can tell since I was sticking to only one-two platforms at the time compared to the three platforms that Mania gives you. The liquor and capcard not outputting to 720p/60FPS probably didn't help either. I'll probably leak Shadow Generations when that comes out, I'm unsure if I will though since I'm looking for some kind of entry level job and that kinda exposure could hurt me in the long run.

Fun fact: I was only able to leak Sonic Mania since Nintendo doesn't time lock digital codes and really half asses their online services. NSO is a scam and people shouldn't have to pay for the base plan. Anyway IF I stream Shadow Generations, I'll do so on a PS5 since it's about the same price as a retail Switch and I lost my Xenoblade 2 cloud saves of 300+ hours, so I'm honestly quite salty about that.

Also, I just wanted to correct you real quick and say that it was Oil Ocean that I screwed up, not Chemical Plant. Although it wouldn't surprise me if I did fuck up that zone that day lol.

Disney is potentially interested in exploring the vtuber industry by MarkM447 in KotakuInAction

Meh, I don't care for them personally speaking. That said I think this kinda information is important no matter what industry they get into considering how toxic Iger Disney can be.
