Topic | Nerd/geek culture goes mainstream. Nerds and geeks eventually hate it |
Esrac 05/12/19 10:42:11 PM #10 | Makeveli_lives posted... Esrac posted...I think I get it. I didn't say people are trying to say they can't like those things. I'm referring to things like when the people pushing their way into the subculture start saying things like "video games need to grow up", etc. --- |
Topic | Nerd/geek culture goes mainstream. Nerds and geeks eventually hate it |
Esrac 05/12/19 10:36:02 PM #5 | I think I get it. The nerds built up and supported their hobbies for years and were abused, at least in part, for it by normies. Then one day their hobbies become cool and the normies start to push into the nerds' space and start telling the nerds that their hobbies need to change to accommodate the new crowd. --- |

Esrac 05/12/19 9:20:37 AM #30 | Jiek_Fafn posted... I'm happy that they at least expanded a little from exclusively being trapped in mmos. .Hack//Sign is the earliest example I can think of. Until the previous poster pointed out Digimon. --- |

Topic | Kotaku is upset about Barrett in FF17 and toxic masculinity |
Esrac 05/11/19 3:58:59 PM #56 | VerisimiIitude posted... This game is in quite a position. No matter what they do to the original game, every scene, mechanic, feature, (altered or unchanged) is going to be met with scrutiny and negativity in some fashion. I cant imagine there being a way for this game to be seen in a positive light. Certainly not the way the original is/was regarded or even how some of the more successful remakes in recent memory have accomplished this. The best they can do, I figure, is make the game as faithful to the original as possible while also making it look really pretty. --- |
Topic | Why do people get so invested in youtubers(projared)? |
Esrac 05/11/19 1:47:51 PM #14 | More likely, almost no one is particularly invested in it, but the drama is entertaining and it's super easy to shit on some lolcow dipshit with a few keystrokes. --- |

SoraOwnsOctopus posted...Why is Kotaku on such a roll for the most mentally challenged articles in the span of a month? >_> Now that you say that, after a quick googling of the author's name, one of the first hits was an interview with her from a couple years ago in which she mentions credit card companies calling her every day for the money she owes them. --- |
Topic | NYT article, Was I Right to Call the Cops on a Black Man Breaking Into a Car? |
Esrac 05/11/19 12:58:22 PM #20 | VipaGTS posted... Fony posted...I do not get white people, or rather white liberals. Really. They will call the police on black people NOT committing crimes just existing, not answer the door for black salesmen, call police on black firefighters, call police on black policemen, call police on black men babysitting, call police on black women waiting in the rain for a fucking bus seven feet from their stoop in the ghetto they're gentrifying...but can muster up this white guilt for reporting an actual god damned crime. This does make me wonder, how many of the high profile calls on black people for no reason came from metropolitan blue states/counties/cities? --- |

Esrac 05/09/19 9:52:05 PM #16 | Alucard188 posted... I know in Final Fantasy Tactics you can recruit random generated characters into your army, but they are usually supplanted by named characters who are better (Agrias, Orlandu, TG Cid, etc). Does the same thing happen here? Yes. --- |
