He wasn't even verified as a "gaming journalist", but as a "freelance gaming journalist", a label that no one probably took seriously, ever, and is hardly worth a verification tag in the first place.

I mean, how are people supposed to react to that? "Wow, look at him, a guy that writes for blogs whenever he has free time"?

Imagine acting holier than thou and having your ego inflated because you can show the world your highly prestigious position as a freelance journalist for videogame's news.

I've been a freelance gaming journalist for close to 20 years. I've reviewed hundreds of games, written thousands of news articles, been on many trips, E3 over ten times, GamesCom a few. Conducted more interviews than I can count. Am I disqualified now just for being freelance?

This dude may be an idiot, but your "point" here is fucking stupid. Almost every journalist in the gaming press is freelance. All being freelance means is that you're not actually an employee at the company you work for. You don't get a monthly paycheck. You send a bill every month that they have to pay. It says nothing about your experience, or the amount you work.

If you're gonna attack them on something, attack them on something that doesn’t make you look like a complete fool to anyone who knows anything about how this job works.

That's quite insightful. I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong, and it seems like I've understimated the job then. From an outside perspective, it is what it looks like though, because a freelance journalist can be anything ranging from your work experience to someone that gets paid to write a few articles a year.

Jeremy Renner Accused by Ex-Wife of Threatening to Kill Her (Update: Renner disputes allegations)

What a year for Renner. It started well with Endgame. Then he started his musical career. Then he created his app that became a meme app. Then he deleted it because "it has become everything I hate in this world". And now this. IF TRUE : I doubt that the Hawkeye show will be cancelled. They'll...

lot of concern about how this will affect a TV show that comes out in a few years. not so much for the wife having her life threatened. "What a tough year for this guy!"

For sure. Being freelance can mean a lot of things. It can be something you do by choice. For freedom say, working from home etc. It can also be because employers don't want responsibility. They hire you for a thing and that's all you get. It kinda sucks, because there's no inherent stability and predictability in it.

Also, taxes are more complicated by it, but that's a different matter.

How so mate? I assume you don't believe it's right he was killed? Or you're not going to celebrate his death. Fair enough.

It is VERY hard to feel any kind of sympathy for the victim though.

Only now do they want to wait for more information when it's Marvel connected, exactly playing out as one of you predicted in the last topic. Where was Alex Holowakas(sp?) "waiting for more information before judging?

Anyway with regards to the story, he didn't directly threaten his ex wife, she wasn't even at that club at the time from the sound of it so it's second hand information, guy on coke talks shit news at 11.

Bonus points for the member there pushing cancel culture does not exist narrative again.

Shys been on a non-stop rant on how toxic this place is and we are now 'Neo-Nazi Gaf'

What a shame.

Nothing we could use more then his 10,000 post per week about 'FUCK WHITE WOMEN!"

Seriously, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Dude has serious issues with white women lol

Some one get this man some Becky booty asap!

32 left in 2 years is not a turnover, is a bloodbath.

I think the reasons for this are basically two:
-to be a mod you need to have a strong personality, be detached, to avoid users problems become your problem. Users from ERA shows severe social skill issues and even some declared mental problem. They have their inner problem and they risk to absorb problems from others. They can't stand to be a mod for more than 2-3 months;
-I believe some mod genuinely tried to reverse this situation, but they were surrounded by madness. It's a fact Ree is a community based on people who avoid any discussion cause thay believe if you don't agree with them you're against them, so probably they can't get along even with people who think in the same way. I think there are lot of fights everyday behind the wall.

Not only the mod turnover is alarming, but also the percentage of users banned. From what I've heard, it's over 20%. And that doesn't include the not-yet banned users who left for good.

As far as thread backfires goes and considering where it is, this is pretty gold. When I visited Hiroshima with my then-fiance, we visited the a-bomb dome...we had ridden bikes over from our hotel. In my mind this would be a somber bit of reflection, and as we looked at the building and went into the park we walked our bikes and spoke in soft voices, etc. I thought to treat this place as hallowed ground like when I visited Arlington National Cemetery as a teenager.

Then we get to the big hill covered in grass in the park, a mass grave from the bombing and....yeah Japanese tourists were smiling and laughing and taking pictures in front of it making V symbols and we were like...wat. And we kept walking our bikes around the park and it was the weirdest juxtaposition to see these tourists just having a grand old time on this site that felt like a cemetery to us. We were finally like...ok this is weird, we've seen it, let's go. We walked up to cross a street just as the light turned red and this Japanese biker gang pulled up and 'HEEEEEEEYYYY SEXYY LAAAADYYYYY!!!' comes blasting out of the lead rider's stereo, loooud as fuck and he's just bobbing his head along. Gangnam Style at the a-bomb dome...alrighty then...the rest of the day we just lightened the fuck up and got drunk on 100 yen Strong Zero.

I hope they’re aware that Nazi = communism = far left.

So basically calling GAF Nazi is basically calling GAF Far Left, and they claim GAF is alt-right. So conflicting!

Nazism and communism both exhibited the evil of totalitarianism, but to do this exercise in saying nazis = far left because they had similarities to communists is silly. Communists hated the nazis.

Era equates racism to nazism and thinks because people here can say things they believe are racist, this place is full of nazis. Of course they think everything is racist so they have a very broad idea of what constitutes a nazi.

Typical Era "hero" post, that dude did nothing he said he did and just posted his vigilante fantasy.

Then everyone in the bar clapped, the owner comped my drinks tab and the Cute server slipped me her number with a smile.

and then the classic ex pat in Asia with a Marco Polo complex who's "Basically Japanese now because he's lived there so long" hates having his immersion broken by the people he ran away from in the US (Typical LBH) appears.

and yet, is the stereotypical a typical aging, balding overweight foreigner sexpat bar crawling for Japanese girls, who "Honestly" don't want to date him because hes balding and not because he's brown. It's well documented that there's a lot of racism in Japan. But no, it's shitty American tourists who are the problem.

Guy sounds like a loser.

He's living in the wrong country if he thinks his ex-pat status will land him desperate local girls looking for a sugardaddy.

Name one Japanese local lady who is begging to hook up with fat, bald, Indian ex-pat guy.

Lebron James thinks Daryl Morey was misinformed on China [see updated OP for clarification]

Lebron just looks terrible here, even in the cleaned up version. Because even in the cleaned up version, his overall point is still that apparently he knows better than Morey, that he thought about things Morey didn't... But if Lebron seriously thinks the players' safety was ever at risk, that...

honestly pretty sad, lots of good lads turned rotten

The funny thing that I know one of the mods (Brazil) and dude, in the real world he is a complete different person. Make gay jokes, these type of things that he himself censor at Cuckera. Hypocrisy 101. On the internet he is a poser. He have a very low self-esteem (just look at him post gym) and are always seeking validation. He was a nice guy at Wii Brasil a decade ago. Now he is just... rotten, as you said.

Hey man.. nothing wrong with being bald. That is something you don't have control over. Your weight is another thing. I am bald now for 4 years, and I shave it too. Most woman here love it actually, but I go to a gym and watch my food etc. When I was in Japan 2 years ago, woman there laughed a bit at it, and at the rockcafe a couple of girls asked to touch my head for some reason..

How much of your income would you be willing to give up to tackle climate change?

I’m just kind of shocked. I thought u would have a few fake socialists saying “let the millionaires do it” but never thought it would be the overwhelming opinion! People are proudly stepping up to say “not my problem” LOL

It’s simultaneously the most important issue of our times and also something u can take ZERO responsibility for.

Honestly it’s blowing my mind the lack of self reflection on this issue. These same people praised the little 16 year old who predicted a mass extinction event. Like lol is it a big deal or not? Cos if u can say “let someone else handle it” then that isn’t very convincing
