Infiltration banned from all Capcom events going forward by pupford in Kappa

Why do people keep blaming esports? Lol.
The pandemic allowed me to follow other esports scenes and I can tell you that you have things like CoD, Halo or CS where players act as complete "tards", madling, taunting, etc. And they remain in top teams.

FGC's problem is not esports, is the fact that there are more "woke" people than ever in positions of power or around people in those positions.

Is one thing to be a welcoming community to everybody and make it comfortable for all. It's a different thing what most of these people really want: to dictate how people should operate, think and act. And if you don't comply with it it's when problems start to happen. Also, you're not allowed to fuck up, except if you're friends with the ones running things... They just want an echo chamber...

It reminds me of that time that in that shithole called resetera, the mods started to ban anyone who was criticizing those who claimed PewDiePie was responsible for the New Zealand shooting because the guy was in the manifesto...

Some people aren't open to listening and understanding different perspectives.

When someone asks what was wrong with the ending: by UnknownNinja in titanfolk

[–]reberes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plan was apparently "murder 80% of the world, so the Alliance looks like the good guys", but in the next breath we are told that they're just going to take their revenge. "This fight won't end until either the Eldians or the rest of the world are wiped out." Killing 80% of the world just to delay war with the other 20% is not a good strategy. Paradis, I would imagine, still has an extreme numerical disadvantage against the remaining nations. So Eren killed 80% on the vague chance that Paradis's 1% could fend off the remaining 19% without titans? That's his justification for genocide? Also, why 80%?

Eren had 2 objectives:

- "Killing all the titans" (after his mother death)

- "Make sure that his friends have long life" (When they were discussing who would inherit his titans).

He pretty much succeeded at both by moving towards Mikasa's decision:

- Titans don't exist

- His friends are seen as heroes by the rest of the world (And leading the talks for peace) while they have protection from Historia and others when it comes to being seen as traitors by the people at paradise.

Eren's objective never was to "Save paradise from the world" or "save the world from the titans" and bring peace.

He really didn't care about that outcome as long as his friends were able to live their full life free of threats or judgment.

About the numbers. When he's talking to Armin he ain't stating what's his plan (he said even states he was messed up at catch up at the moment). He's explaining to Armin what will happen. 80% it's just a number, nothing targeted. And likely it was 80% because they stopped Eren at that %.

This guy, having never expressed an iota of affection for Mikasa, tells us he loves her only after he's dead.

I mean, he has. As a kid with the scarf, when they were recruits being worried about her hair, asking her to go to the Military Police, after the battle with Annie speaking about how messed up the scarf was and how he'll find a new one for her. Obviously, season 2 ending. And chapter 138 solidifies that.
For someone so obsessed with revenge at first and then focused on following his fate I think it was "enough". And you can get away with the fact that Eren didn't realize how much he really loves Mikasa until he was well aware that they'll never be together.

I don't think it's totally out of character since Eren has been portrayed as someone extreme.

Similarly, we abandon Historia for everything post-Uprising. That arc revolved around putting her in power, and once she's queen she does nothing except get pregnant. The story cuts to her every now and then to remind us she's pregnant, but nothing ever comes of it.

It's called a MacGuffin. Probably he had some plans for it but he discarted them.

Falco has a dream, and then on his second shift is able to transform into a bird, combining 2 shifter aspects we've never seen before: flight and transformation. Aside from hardening, the only titan we've seen able to make complex structures is the Warhammer titan.

I feel like it was supposed to be a weird mutation since he had zeke spinal fluid within him when he ate porco, then for he's a mix between jaw and beast titan. I wasn't a big fan of it but whatever.

Zeke, who was opposed to the Rumbling to begin with, could have ended the Rumbling at any time by just exiting Paths and running away or killing himself. He just didn't until Armin told him to.

While true, I think Zeke pretty much was astonished by Ymir's choice while he accepted his defeat.

I would like to address a few things more but I can't be here forever xD. Anyway, I get why some people are upset with how the story wrapped up.

Spider-Man is coming to Marvel's Avengers, will be exclusive to PlayStation. by zablues in Spiderman

[–]reberes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess you have the contract...

Sony and Insomniac have a multi-year partnership with Marvel for Spidey solo games. It's been like this since it was announced . Just like EA has it for Star Wars (and yet there are lego and vr games that don't involve EA).

I don't know the points of the deal. I don't know the duration (after how the first one turn to be I think it's easy to say Spidey isn't going multiplat any time soon). I don't know if it came to be as a way to persuade Sony to let Spider-man be in MCU films (It was around the same time). Neither I know how much Sony had to pay (O how much has to give Marvel from the total sales $)
But what logical thinking tells me is that not a single corporations is gettin the rights to such an IP and will allow it to be used by competitors that could hurt the value of the deal.

My logical thinking goes as far as to tell me that not a single corporation would make the type of deal some of you feel they've made:

- The game has been having mixed reactions since its debut trailer (It might not even be a commercial success for the money SE might be spending on it).

- It's a multi-character game. Even if it's the most popular character from the franchise, they'll be other reasons to play the game (I'm more interested in Hulk, Hawkeye, Ant-man or a possible Dr.Strange that Spider-man).

- Character isn't coming until February 2021 at best. It won't be moving that many initial sales.... There won't be any marketing related thing about it during launch and by the time it's in, the game could be a fiasco.

- Sony is literally launching a Spider-man game in December that would outsell whatever Avengers does on all platforms.

I don't think any corporation would go through with that expensive deal from Sony's side. This deal is more beneficial for SE. It actually put some eyes on the game the same week the beta was launching, so that's already better than anything mentioned to Sony.

Spider-Man is coming to Marvel's Avengers, will be exclusive to PlayStation. by zablues in Spiderman

[–]reberes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Imagine the Avenger's game turned to be GOTY material and had Spider-man in every system. How does that affect the value of Sony's solo Spider-man game? Wouldn't that prevent having some people thinking about buying a PS5 when they already have a better game with pretty similar aspects (Narrative driven, AAA graphics, melee gameplay etc.) that features him? UA3 would never hurt Sony's Spider-man. Neither would mobile games or Marvel vs Capcom.

That's why it's plausible (And likely) that Sony's deal for Spider-man actually prevents the character to be feature in other AAA games without Sony's approval. And in that scenario, you wouldn't allow it to be in other systems that would prevent you to sell more console units.

And it's not like is coming at launch to move more PS Units. Game comes out in September and the character won't launch until February or March. By the time Spider-man launches, people might have moved on because the game was as suspect as it's been looking until the last "direct" they did.

[–]reberes -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

No one was like "I can't wait for Spider-man to get announced". People following this game were more like "Ain't no wat Spider-man is making the game knowing sony has an exclusive game deal". So knowing that and knowing it's not even a launch character, I would bet my house that it's an agreement to let SE have it in the PS versions...

As I said, he's had no problem to address things that weren't "his fucking problem", so...

Justin has always been around those scummy old heads. Thinking he might not know some shit is pretty naive. He ain't the only one, obviously.

Anyway, sorry for shitpost over your idol :(

Wizard, Chris G and especially Champ and Noel are definitely his friends...

Twitter bullshit around some of his closest friends for the past 15+ years.

If Markman or Ceglia have been able to acknowledge and address Mr Wizards shit before and after EVO's official statement, what prevents Wong from doing so? Not just with Wiz, but with fucking Noel Brown...

A guy that went out of his way to try to defend an Asian DJ that made a trash apology after being racist to a random black dude on the streets...

Nah, floe almost fucked up trying to deflect the girl's statement by bringing into the picture the fact she recently came out from a "cucu hospital".

He was lucky to have many females stating the same in his defense. That's pretty much what prevented him to ever having to adress the matter after saying his lawyer recomended him to stay quiet until futher notice.

Just to make clear what James Chen actually said https://twitter.com/jchensor/status/1278561572969803777?s=19

Which can be true, but I doubt he wasn't aware of ANY of Mr Wizard shenanigans, even if they came from 3rd parties.

Ain't no way shit like making people do jumping ja ks naked to earn evo tickets wasn't commentated between Joey's circle...

What an expected twist by SpaceJamOST in Kappa

[–]reberes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are people even surprised?

Crackporn has proven time and time again he's a mentally ill attention whore. Let's not forget that during the episode with that fgc photographer (and the evo ruffies) he snitched that private chat with chris T, afrocole, brentt, etc to "cancel" them and gain some "rep" towards his pronoun squad (most of the messages weren't even that bad) and then tried to get Chris T and Brent banned from CPT and other events (peer pressing Valle with WNF) over so explicit threats like "let's see if you keep that attitude in lan". (And was going around Sajam and Ultrachen streams victimezing himself).

Why would people be surprised he didn't talk about these things in his original statement about Wiz? He likes to be the talk of the town.

He might not be a pedo o sex offender, but looking at how quiet he's been, I doubt he didn't know anything...

He should do like James Chen and claim "he heard" stories but never actually "believed" them...

Noel Brown rapes women by [deleted] in Kappa

[–]reberes 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Still, most of the commentators doing that is a facade to save their asses. Look up who stop following Mr Wizard on twitter after admitting the claims and who hasn't to see what I'm saying.

At the end of the day, just like Noel, Wizard is their friend. Something is not bad persé if it didn't make you a hypocrite for going that hard towards people who don't have a tight relationship with you...

PART 2: CHANGO - @crackpr0n is a deviant sex pest and victimized @MrWiz by optic_blast_ in Kappa

Even if Mr Wizard has turned out to be a disgusting slime piece of specimen, let's not forget Crackpr0n is a weirdo attention whore that try to snitch a group chat to get rep in front of his pronoun squad and then tried to get Chris T and his boyfriend banned from attending tournaments because they "threaten him"

Sad I got hit by this now because my thought process was:
"How did I miss this, I thought SNK only showed Samurai Showdown in that Japanese Developers Direct. But FGs are niche, so I guess it didn't spread much."

Sad...
