Oh well don't let anybody stop you!

You know you are right I am being a coward and walking away. We need to fight to get politic and realpolitik back.

Inefficient on purpose? If yes then if it adversely effects others its morally wrong.
If your inefficiency comes from not knowing how to be efficient then no.

For example if you are a contractor for a house and decide to save money and put in half the amount of nails needed for a stair railing and the railing breaks injuring someone then your inefficiency was purposefully thus morally wrong. If you are a contractor and sincerely believes that X number of nails are needed even though it is not efficient for the job then no it would not be morally wrong.

It comes down to intent.

Deleted.

No, Felicia is in darkstalkers and mvc, tc said they're into street fighter

Actually Felicia was in Capcom games like Gem Fighter and Capcom V Marvel with Street Fighter characters.

Well petition one was to restore politics and realpolitik board.

Second petition was for moderators not to take marching orders from Reddit like Dtoast did for nuking both forums.

Both deleted.

BTW I am now on Reddit 261 forum under name DanEosen. Not my real name. I loved Gamefaqs for 20 plus years but I am thinking of leaving for Reddit as home base. I frequent the Gems of War board and have expanded recently to the Street Fighter now 261 boards.

I always loved the forums here but the uncertainty is killing the enjoyment.

He said there were no plans to take down CE. But there were no plans to take down politics either before fandom

when they notice how much political discussion goes on here they will shut it down

What do folks think current events are? Current events are events happening around the world overwhelming number are political. Its nonsensical to say Current Events are events around the world except for political events. Well that leaves for example videogames, sports, comics, novels and movies which also all intersect with politics.

TBH I'd be fine with removal of all those topics as well.

I just want games.

Have you looked at many game pages on this site? Most have zero posts or less then a page. You would think the latest Super Mega Baseball game which is cross platform would have lots of posts in their game specific forum. Nope, just one. Reddit has pages full of posts about this game. Meaning this really is not a game site any more and nowhere near what it was in the 2000s where even obscure games there would be posts.

This is GameFaqs... as in vidjagames.
Not PolitiFaqs. We don't need politics in one's Vidjagames.

I'm glad the powers that be are cleaning house. GameFaqs was once a great gaming community and it seems DToast and Allen are working towards restoring said community.

I would think for gaming people flock to YouTube or Twitch to discuss games. Gamefaqs is essentially not that much different from 20 years ago except for far more ads.

Ooops. So the drone overrode the operator? Umm I have seen this before. Couldnt this be solved by asking the drone to give the answer to pi and then it will self destruct?

Metroid Fusion > Super Metroid

For platformers like SM only Castlevanias SOTN will compare to it everything else are imitations of these two.

Seems like 261 is only considered "toxic" by users who lean right and didn't like that their awful views were actually challenged. CE and other boards have always been more "toxic" than 261.

I dont think folks know what toxic boards really are. CE, 261 nor Realpolitik were ever close to being toxic. I remember very well Usenet political boards and how quickly the most innocent of topics would turn into flame wars and insults, There were folks there just waiting for a fight. Toxicity went so far as going into the tv boards and even science fiction tv boards.

I never encountered in my 20 plus years here folks who lived to drive people away from forums who took a weakness like a disability and turn it against them. Thats toxic.

Realpolitick didnt seem as extreme or toxic as 261, Im surprised it wasnt given a chance before being nuked.

261 was by no means toxic. You want toxic let me tell you about the Usenet politic boards of the 1990s and mid2000s those were toxic. Almost every topic devolved into flame wars and insults. 261 was literally a civil tea party in comparison. I liked 261 because it was very civil.

A Puerto Rican family was traveling from LA to Puerto Rico and at the ticket counter for Spirit Airlines the family was asked for their passport then refused passage since they lacked one for an infant.

You would think in 2023 it would be elementary level knowledge that Puerto Rico is part of the US and all its citizens are US citizens. You would especially think those that work for a ticket counter for an airlines that flies to Puerto Rico would especially know this.

The ticket seller didnt and the family had to pay more with a different airline and were not asked for their passport.

The airline did apologize and refund the familys money.

Other: I'm quite fond of her cover of Walking in Memphis.

It's not as good as the original, but still a damn good cover.

Darn close though.

I am not a Sonny Bono fan but I do love I Got You Babe its just a sweet song, my favorite song which highlights to me her incredible vocals is Half Breed.

Hard to believe she is 77. She is a Rock Goddess.

Nowhat I mean is they closed a popular board that was driving traffic to a dying site. And that was a bad choice.

261 and the movie board are the only places I really come for anymore.

Same here and comics.

I was eating lunch with my employee. I got the bill which I put on my credit card. When it came time to write the amount for the tip I wrote $5.21 since the bill was $34.79. As a result the bill was $40 a nice, rounded number.

My employee who works as my caretaker said waitresses really hate when folks do that and you do that a lot. I said I round up in their favor and the bill comes to a nice rounded number. She said she would have just put six dollars for the tip.

Does wait staff dislike this?
