Hello lads, welcome to the Escapist. Sorry to hear your home went down.

As for advice, keep it civil, stay out of the basement and you'll be fine.

Also, quoting was apparently not a thing on GT, but around here, we like using it to let people know we responsed to them. You don't have to, but you know, it's handy and considered good manner and such.

Also, did you just call us 'Pists? That sounds like a weird skin condition. "Mom, I'm having the pists again! -Eww. Stay away from me!"
The users of the Escapist are properly referred to as 'Pists. We get good and pissed about stuff. When the ME3 ending happened, we were 'Pist.
We are? First time I've heard that nickname and I've been here for ages. Then again, I don't post all that regularly.

Speaking of which, I think we need to give the refugees a nickname too. I propose Trailies[footnote]because if we are 'pists, then theirs needs to sound vaguely insulting too.[/footnote].

With how Euro-centric this forum is, do you think they would appreciate a Trail of Tears joke?
The Trailers were forced to walk the Game Trail of tears.
Something like that?

A bit of sunshine every now and then is not bad. Brings some more colour into the overly grey world. While doom and gloom can be fun, a little contrast is good sometimes, otherwise life would be very dreary indeed.

But yes, sodd the heat. You've not as bad some other places but being stuck in a bus while being slowly cooked by 30+ is nowhere near pleasant.
Well I guess I can allow the sun to shine as long I'm not outside and it doesn't directly shines into a room I'm in.

Musou Tensei,

I found your laundry list post to be kinda interesting, thus the response:

Musou Tensei said:
I'm also an ex Nintendo fanboy since december 2015
Ex? Aw....... What'd they do that finally broke you?
Increasing censorship, realizing how disgusting the Treehouse is, too much focus on amiibi, which I despise, forcing american puritanic sentiments on european gamers etc.

and the alt right.
I support tradition, progress, strong government and personal freedom. Doesn't that put me smack-dab in the center?
Not in the eyes of the regressive left.

I don't think diversity and inclusivity in games is important, the last thing I want is to identify with a game character. Racism and sexism in games are overblown non issues, I think that fiction should be allowed to do and show everything the creators want, every game should have the right to exist without censorship, no matter how "offensive" they are, from Gone Home to Rapelay. We have age ratings for a reason.
I dunno man, the double standard that women in games can't be strong without also being hot IS a bit stupid. However, pushing too hard for change only ever creates backlash. The real change will come naturally & slowly, as it should.

I do agree with you on the right for any game to exist though. The consumer will determine its worth.
If creators want to create such a female character they should, but those who don't want to do that and rather create something like Senran Kagura should not be attacked for it. Also bullshit is changing the character in localization to artificially create strong females, like the Treehouse did with Elfie, or how she's called now Effie, like in effing garbage. Her original characters is a gentle giant but the Treehouse bigots probably think that to be a strong woman you have to also be an unlikable *****.

I think all universities in the US should be shut down.
Universities are supposed to provide a melting pot of ideas and perspectives for people to rigorously test their own biases against.
That they're slowly turning into ignorance and safe spaces is a cause for serious concern, but to shut the system down entirely? That would only deny those willing to learn a place to do so.
Do these still exist? I guess the best would be to kick out people who do more protesting than actual learning, cause when I read stuff like that protesters complain that actual learning and homework interfers with their slacktivism and they think it's unfair that their grades are dropping, I lose all hope for the current college generation, better luck with the next one I guess.

And last but not least, fuck summer, fuck temperatures over 20?C.
Oh man, you would not like South Australia: we only see regular sub-20c days in winter. Our summer temps regularly go over 35c!

I've never seen snow before in my life, lol.
Knowing what sizes your spiders have, I think the heat would be the a secondary problem, lol.
Snow is wonderful, I prefer it before rain as I can just remove the snow from my clothes before it melts.

I wait 11 and a half months a year for t-shirt weather, count yourself lucky to live in a nation with decent weather while being quite wealthy.
Yeah, so darn wealthy that Merkel refused a new proposal for more social security for german citizen, guess she needs the money to build houses for the invaders, I mean uninvited guests, I mean refugees, and the other half of it goes to other countries, because fuck her own people, and everyone who disagrees with her is a racist (even though islam is not a race).
Also I love the cold, if I had any say in it it would never be above 15?C and the sun would never shine, at least in my town.
Pegida detected.
I know you're j/k-ing, but I'm actually not THAT bad, if refugees actually put effort into adapting to our culture, learn our language, attend all the immigration stuff they are supposed to, follow our laws and get a job, and don't start beheading people after they done all this, they are welcome for all I care. My problem are the criminals and islamists/ISIS supporters who imo should be send back from where they came from, also I kinda demand from MY government I pay taxes into, to put the issues of the german people before the new immigrants and other countries, and not be called racist when we are not very happy when they try to hide the crimes some immigrants commit.
On the other hand I don't think that burning down refugee buildings and attacking them randomly (I wouldn't care if they would attack a group of the cologne harassers for example) helps anyone. It's a rather ugly shitshow here right now.

EDIT:
Oh, I should have listened to people saying to stay out of Game Industry Discussion, I mean I could have a lot of fun there but the rules are too strict for doing so, I already got 2 warnings from posting there, lol. A shame really, it's like the home of the easily triggered.

So do we put them on a train headed for the Slovenian border? That's what my country does.
Far more merciful than what we do; we send them to Jersey.

Pshah, you call that cruelty? To Detroit with them!
They are humans for God sakes. No one deserves that punishment. They wouldn't last a day.

Seriously though, Welcome. Come. Eat out food, have our wine and fatten yourself up cause we need a nice meal. I need new blood and fresh young meat to fest on when the next "gate" comes. Mmmmmmm, controversy and Internet outrage. Tasty when cooked slowly.

You people are mixing metaphors.
The Gtrailers are a metaphor for Syrian refugees, not illegal Mexican immigrants. A (fire)wall would work on a land border, but wouldn't really help with refugees coming by sea and by air.
I'm not sure what would be a good metaphor for illegal immigration.

Trump still has a stance against taking in refugees so it's still functional. Build the wall around the entire country and put SAMs everywhere!

Illegal immigration would be an influx of total shitposters. Or the adbots.

No offense, but this feels a lot more like arriving in Syria than leaving it.

*Insert Unfunny Trump reference here*

Welcome to escapist forums. Ever play DayZ or Unturned? When your running around constantly in silent mode making sure nobody notices you too much while the rest of the server is in the middle of a war re-enactment? It's kind of like that, but with words. Just pick your battles, stay away from anything that looks odd, and you will be fine. Glad to meet you.

Welcome, and feel free to start opening up some new threads. I'm really interested in seeing how things look with our new batch of personalities. Maybe I'll create some new threads of my own.

Figured I'd drop a line here as well.

Started over at GT in 2008, left there as an Admin and figured I'd give Escapist a try after seeing numerous people make the transition. Generally don't have too much time these days for message boards as work keeps me busy, but the community seems welcoming enough so that's good. Really surprised to see the overly positive response regarding GT and it's community in this thread as GT has historically not had the best reputation among other communities (and sometimes understandably so).

Anyhow.. Yo!

Welcome to the Cave of Caerbannog, just beware of the rabbit.

This thread is way too happy and welcoming. Needs a fair dose of curmudgeonry.



You damn GiTs (see what I did there hur hur)! Bringing your... whatever it is you do and think you can just prance around. We used to stack fucks like you 5 feet high during the GamerGate wars, use you for strawmen to ignore other people's viewpoints. Get the fuck out of here, you don't belong on this forum! You don't know what true hate is like. You didn't see the fake girl gamer threads or the Sarkeesian hurricane of 2012. You didn't have to live through the hell that was brony wars or the reigns of terror of EternalNothingness, Sun-Hwan or Zeel. You know what it feels like to see another thread about Sarkeesian every day for a whole year? Well it feels fucking awful, that's what it is.

Now that I'm done making lame ass references to Gran Torino, I welcome our new members. Just try to keep the console wars down, would ya? Some of us aren't quite as spry and need to be in bed at 10 (I'm allowed to talk like this due to my join date).
I had somehow forgotten EN existed, good gravy that was a time to be alive.

Also Mass Effect 3's ending, good god you could power most of the Baltic states put together with the amount of flames that produced here.

I propose we build a wall to keep these refugees out and make Gametrailers pay for it. Let's make the Escapist great again.
Now it feels like home. Could you wear a blonde wig for me, and paint yourself orange?

For... reasons.
Why would you want ANYONE to dress up as Tony Blair?

Can't we just leave them in Florida and see if they can survive the strange and unnatural antics of Florida Man?

Someone even took the time and the effort to make an Eternal Nothingness gif... And what a glorious gif it was...



Got to the point eventually the mods had to start giving out warnings for posting it XD

Wow, this brings back memories. The facial expressions in this image are perfect, and it (somehow) matched every context in which it was needed.

EDIT: Wait, is this image still worth an insta-warning?

Now all we get is that guy who posts about cross overs every six months.

I'll be honest, I didn't see that much EN compared to how much people complained about them.
