Fandom is gonna kill what's left of the site lmao. It's practically all people who has been there for decades, that's what's left of the site, and when they'll be gone, the site will be dead

@coolboymew @mangeurdenuage @sun we're approaching the period where people are cynical enough to just instantly roast the PR department though :blobcatgendou:

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew @sun i saw too many indies turn to shit and too many foss go corpo that i burned out on all that a decade ago :blobcatsleepless:
i don't even say much to the reps because i know they are just useful idiots.
the strategy is to have all the real citizen/important people/deciders insulated in replacable tissue employees, so they can enjoy their mai tais while everyone screams at the wagies.

@icedquinn @coolboymew @sun Funnily enough the first garbage response I ever was directly affected by was in 2012 with me3, and it's one of the main reason that made me quit games and sent me back in free/libre software.

@mangeurdenuage @coolboymew @sun evil pretends to be stupid, so presume evil until demonstrated otherwise.

There's currently no way to know if it's due to the consequence of true evil or true stupidity.
And aside that it's a whole chain of human involved in each results, so it's a mix of errors, evil and stupidity.
Overall there isn't much to do from my perspective aside of sharing NVC.

@coolboymew @mangeurdenuage @sun it's a great shame what happened to GameFAQs, I cut my teeth as an online rabble-rouser on their forums back in the day (first games I remember discussing there being Golden Sun and the still-unreleased Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire), as well as defending the honor of the N64 (much-maligned back in 2001/2002).
And the Character Battles were fucking EPIC, and directly inspired my Best Vidya Girl tournament. Note how the vote totals in those contests absolutely tanked after the site embraced SJW moderation.
