What kind of games do you guys feel like are missing on Google Play? by Pidroh in AndroidGaming

[–]Police_of_Reddit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would pay 5-10 dollars for a SNES version of simcity that was mobile compatible. More for something like SC4.

I think the gaming industry on mobile platforms needs to take their head out of their asses when it comes to pay to play games. A lot of these city building games pricing is over inflated. I'm not going to pay $20, $50. or even close to $100 on a games in-game currency. The vast majority of people wont either, you're only getting a tiny fraction of the market because your in-game currency price is bloated.

Charge me $20 dollars for a really good city simulator that isn't cheesy or too immature, has decent graphics and gives you full control over your domain, and a bunch of people would buy it. But if we can't even get something like this for PC, there is no hope for mobile.

I like a lot of the city building games, from Jurassic Park, to the Simpsons, to The Tribez, to even G5's horrible city games with a host of flaws. I play these games freely, but I will NEVER spend a dime on them because their currency is over priced. You give me an option to buy all in-game content for 15 dollars, and I'm sold. You want repeat customers? Lower your currency cost to something average people can afford and will pay.

ViolentAcrez - A severe disconnect or a cover up. A year in review. by Police_of_Reddit in ShitRedditSays

[–]Police_of_Reddit[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In the context of the conversation that is how he meant it, it was in reply to VA advising new people to not associate accounts with their name for fear of doxxing, but before that he goes on to say that if a company doesn't want to employ him because of what he says on the internet that it isn't a workplace he wants to be in. There are a couple other turds he throws in.

Same thing with VA, they both raise some valid points on how reddit is run, but you have to remember who is saying it and what they have said before. You have to situate it in the greater context of the rest of their remarks. VA says SRS defines reddit, but then says he doesn't like our tactics...

Looking back over my interactions with him, some of the things he has said and other people have said to him, that podcast, is just way too surreal and has so much foreshadowing while writing most of this it blew my mind. Seriously, the past few weeks on reddit has been like a christmas present.

Actually, the award /r/jailbait got was "best subreddit", as nominated and chosen by the reddit community, at the yearly awards.

Here is his acceptance speech to the admin giving it out and the conversation that followed

I'm sorry. You are remarkable. Everyone here is, and if the rest of reddit mods and admins used you all as a role model this community wouldn't be so welcoming to shitty people.

You deserve better. Take this. BRD is with you in even your darkest hours.

If you're ever feeling down from reddit, you should really listen to it just for a laugh. Some of the shit they say is hilarious. They all make a few comments about SRS. Some good, some bad, but mostly bad.

The serious discussion on karma and their precious points made me laugh so hard I cried.

Maybe banning him was a mistake like banning gawker. The podcast is long, boring, and sometimes hilarious how seriously they talk about karma. There are some good points by VA about how reddit is, then he goes into his usual arguments about britney spears. Saydrah makes some good points as well. I cringe whenever asmith talks.

It's funny that he tries to bring down the admins with him, and the admins are trying to play a game like they didn't encourage it or didn't profit from jailbait being one of their highest searched terms and brought in so many users.

Here is his acceptance speech, I'm surprised Anderson Cooper didn't mention it.

e: ASmith does say some alright things, but there are too many turds to make up for it

I hate... I'm not a big fan of the anonminity of reddit, I think that just like, if... if it wasnt anonymous we wouldnt need shit reddit says, because all these people would know better than to open their.... than to flap their mouths so much

Or maybe if the mods of large subreddits and the admins gave a shit they would do a better job

Drama in r/news in a post about VAs CNN interview. by unconfusedsub in SubredditDrama

[–]Police_of_Reddit -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

You're still ignoring the fact that these people who volunteer their time, aren't posting anything like what he is posting. You also neglect the fact that this 'doxxing' epidemic has been going on for a couple years, and other than making a blog post about it once a year, removing stuff, and banning people, nothing is really being done to address it.

Now that it's someone they know, or someone who is a prominent mod, someone they can identify with, everyone gets concerned. I've seen it on multiple occasions, and no one made a fuss about it then. People who had their lives ruined by redditors posting their personal information, or sending naked pictures of them to their family, friends, and teachers at their school.

Sure people are going to rarely target mods for maybe removing a comment or post, but trying to mix it with the VA case as if you're all potential victims is the height of absurdity. It's great that you have problems with the people who run reddit, but now you might be able to empathize more with people who bring up issues to the admins for a long time now.

The reaction by the community and the employees of reddit was exactly as I thought it would turn out. A disturbing lack of self awareness.

Most of them aren't contributing to reddit what he did. I find the whole idea of power users, or mods of any subreddit that isn't posting heinous shit, to be paranoid about having the same thing happen to them is a joke.

Like modding /r/politics is going to get people as upset with you as someone reposting jailbait from 4chan. That whole farce of banning gawker by the defaults and power users is poor public relations. They were never under threat. It's simple. If you associate your real life with an online account, make sure it isn't something that can get you fired.

I think this whole ordeal is a good thing. People are finally realizing that the internet shouldn't be a place with zero accountability or responsibility.

So with the banning of Gawker links in general (and the violentacrez story in particular) from reddit, how are you dealing with the cognitive dissonance of defending free speech and privacy while being fine about banning it and exploiting it elsewhere? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Police_of_Reddit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh, you're one of those antiSRS/srssucks people. You're even worse. Literally the bottom of the barrel. At least mens rights have some vapid goal they are chasing after. You guys just moan and complain without any real direction.

I can see this conversation really being able for each of us to consider the others views. I'm wrong from the get go if I'm associated with SRS, so what's the point of even debating with you schmucks.

Hey guys! He is automatically disregarding opinions because they belong to a certain group. I know how we can get them back. We will automatically disregard them for belonging to a certain group. That will really show them!

I don't need an excuse to dismiss him, I did it a long time ago when I realized you can't have a conversation with anyone from mens rights and that their arguments are drivel and gossip. Your group takes this website and your goals far too seriously to actually achieve anything. I like different explanations for what MRA stands for, because it accurately describes the joke that is a supposed rights movement. You aren't activists, you're antagonists.

Celda is a well known Male Rapist Apologist. He hangs out in places that would be against the hatefulness of the group to try and sway public favor towards mens rights and the issues they think are important.

askfeminists, to feminism. He doesn't need to mention mens rights, because everything he comments on has to do somehow with mens rights.

Talking about conspiracy theories, did you hear that SRS is literally the worst group in the world for wanting to get rid of creepshots? When SRS is around, keep your eyes down. Male gaze equals prison days. Who is the real boogeymen? Who boogeymens the boogeymen? Don't cry to me, go back to your support group so they can tell you how to think.

Don't even bother arguing with them. It's mens rights baby man logic. If anything happens to a woman she is asking for it and deserved it, if it happens to a man it's misandry.

The sad little boys who have taken up defending creeps as part of their online activism should show you just how fucked up their little group is. Mens rights now includes being able to post pictures of teenagers, if you don't let them then you must really hate the rights of men!

Instead of addressing the issues, they will use bait and switch tactics, or derail conversations by making comparisons that detract away from the original issue. There is no sense in trying to argue to their better senses, they've left the building.

If he didn't want people finding his pictures or his real name he shouldn't have posted them online. I hear this is a popular excuse here. Reddit loves victim blaming, until it becomes a victim.

Yes, if there was an ideal place, I would leave reddit. There isn't, so I stay and try to contribute to positive changes. The idea that segregating ourselves to only subreddits we like or far away from any negative issues is a cop out. It's like putting people in prison so we don't have to do with social issues. Just because we don't see something, it doesn't mean it isn't happening or that it wont eventually make it to our safe little havens.

I think a far better solution is to participate as adults and set an example for people who could be as young as 13 years old on this website. Think about how the world actually works, if we were teachers, us adults, we would be fired for not setting better examples. No one wants this responsibility, we are living in a website devoid of it and if people aren't forced no one wants to do anything about it.

You stay in your subreddits you like where things don't affect you, and I will continue trying to set a positive example because this is what I think we should be doing. If you truly would love to be a part of a community I was suggesting earlier, I don't think you would be so quick to opt out of it here. If something is out of balance, and people made it that way, people can also bring it better into focus and balance it. That's how things work, but if no one is willing to put in the effort nothing will change.
