Lol no, the guy is probably close to 60 by now.



He’s having a meltdown on twitter

Definitely worth burning bridges for one pity like on Twitter.

Well some people stuff really seriously.

Having to talk about every bad thing that happens to you on social media is a sign of something. I don't know what, but it's in the DSM.

 

[Kacho]

To be fair to mana, he’s in an extreme emotional state right now. He’s just blowing off steam.

Just wish the guy could drop the constant agitated state he’s always in. Not sure why he feels like it’s his job to defend every piece of entertainment.

Wait, I thought he hated twitter/musk and was a bluesky boy?

 

[LectureMaster]

Didn’t much care for Manabyte but I’m sad to see him go.

He called me racist yesterday for not liking the gay romance option for Yasuke.

It was my old gent Topher stood up calling out the bullshits.

Obviously being a long time poster doesn't necessarily make a good one. I won't miss.

 

[Kacho]

Wait, I thought he hated twitter/musk and was a bluesky boy?

Nah he was all over the place. He’d defend Trump and Musk, but then call everyone a racist and a grifter.

 

[AJUMP23]

I think it has to do with how you see yourself or a real lack of self. No internal monologue maybe. I only talk about tough stuff to a person or three.

The personal crusades and the absurd gaslighting that went along with it were just too much. I learned really early in my time here on GAF to fact check everything manabyte said because more times than not, it was bullshit.

 

[BlackTron]

To be fair to mana, he’s in an extreme emotional state right now. He’s just blowing off steam.

You mean because he was banned on GAF?

Or because people are saying bad things about the latest AAA Ubi game?

I gave him a break when he had some kind of family emergency a while back. There's an extreme emotional state, not this stuff.

His twitter feed has a higher shill to real content ratio than SenjutsuSage 's ever did

[LectureMaster]

I don't think he can. Just yesterday he was calling LectureMaster racist for nothing. I'm just not feeling any sympathy for the guy right now.

Lecture when being called a simp for adamsapple

Lecture when being tagged otherwise: I'm calling my man Topher

Manabyte is a fucking clown.

I'm glad he's gone.

He was my favorite person to bring up his old posts, basically everything he said was bullshit.

He would lie and mislead people constantly....I hate that shit.

Pretty sure i ate a temp ban for calling him a clown in one of his bullshit posts.

I wonder what happened to that dude and his X account. Probably has an alt somewhere on GAF.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'm amazed he's not on Bluehair with the rest of the clinically insane

It's funny seeing him being completely ignored on Twitter though, that 1 solitary like is kinda sad

He just came back from a ban

Jumping from The Acolyte to Shadows as a knight in malding armor is some sort of metaphor for the dangers of becoming a parasocial Captain Save-a-Ho, of that I am certain.

I still remember that in 2006 when the woke/sjw mob rear it's ugly head and called Capcom a racist and imperialist company for having Chris Redfield kill a bunch of black zombies in that RE 5 trailer. It was shitstorm on the internet, one of the biggest stories in gaming along with the Wii being released and a trailer of MGS4.

Ahh, good times, now it's "Hey that never happened! Why would anyone have any problems with kllling black zombies! Its just a game!"

I think this may be a bit of an over-exaggeration of the truth though I could be wrong. I remember Ngai Croal writing an article about the RE5 trailer. In his analysis he expounded on the IMAGERY presented and how it evoked a certain emotional response especially when examining it from a historical context. I don't remember him claiming it was racist. Now as a black guy I understood exactly where he was coming from even at that young of an age but not once did I nor any black gamers I know or personally been in contact with thought of Capcom as racist. If anything it was the reactionary crowd that seemed the most vocal. Again, I could be mistaken.

 

[YCoCg]

Damn, the biggest legacy this game will have on this forum is that it was the game that got M ManaByte banned.

 

[Tams]

It’s a video game. It’s about as dumb as getting upset at the movie The Last Samurai. Very few people gave a shit about history being rewritten when it came to other Samurai games, despite them taking far more liberties with history. Because they are all fiction.

The Last Samurai is actually a rather nuanced and respectful film.

The ignorant or lazy think it's just Tom Cruise LARPing as a samurai with Ken Watanabe as a token Japanese actor, but it's far from it.

I also enjoy the movie. I’m just pointing out it would be a bit dumb to write it off just because of the main characters race.

 

[Rentahamster]

I love all of you.

Actually I take that back, screw you guys for tricking me into posting in an Assassin's Creed thread.

 

[BlackTron]

People thought they could feel reshoots when they were just feeling very badly made scenes.

Calling it full of hasty reshoots is a favor to the film makers.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Good news he's gone. Didn't have much interaction with him but when I did it was like talking to a guy who was raised by the internet. Permanently online between his constant posting here/ twitter and probably a bunch of other places. Hopefully he can turn his life around.

[ChuckeRearmed]

Watched the stream of Yasuke Simulator shovelware. Hilarious stuff

 

[FewRope]

Why should Japan be exempt from having its history rewritten or changed same as the rest of us?

You cannot make historical fiction of Japan you see

 

[RagnarokIV]

I don’t know about DEI or all that, but NOT having a Japanese man being represented in a game about feudal Japan seems like a departure for the series.

AC1- middle eastern man, set in the Middle East.
AC2- Italian. Set in italy.
Ac3- half white half Native American. Set in the US
AC:Black Flag- English. Set in the Caribbean, but pirates were well known to be English (in large part)

So you tell me what sticks out to you?

He wasn't English.

 

[San Dan Glokta]

He wasn't English.

Justice for the Welsh!

 

[Chuck Berry]

Lol no, the guy is probably close to 60 by now.

M ManaByte decided to sacrifice for this game? Fucking LMAO... What a waste, should have taken the W as the game isn't flopping and be happy with that

 

[Toots]

From this

To weak menchildren complaining about a video game in just 55 years

They can cry all they want, but if a politician isn't ready to commit seppuku in the blink of an eye when his demands aren't met, he is not japanese.

Mana has a habit of manipulating the truth or just outright lying when he gets obsessively defensive about something, then plays the victim when called out on it. No point entertaining a discussion with someone who enters it in bad faith.

 

[BlackTron]

Even outlaws and valhalla? Can't imagine that.

 

[SHAKEZ]

People saying this game is successful should really wait a couple months for the actual truth.
We don't know how much this game needed to make to break or even how much Ubisoft needed it to make to save their asses.

dude accused two ppl of been racist over nothing i think its at least fair

Japan has made many games that pissed on other cultures.

Such as?

sigh, hate to see veteran members go out over stuff like this.

He had it coming anyway. Mana's been banned more times than most members. At some point you got to release.

Take care of your apple adam. You may need to swallow something larger now.

Yeah. It's good to have these long time posters here around. There should be other options than perma bans in these cases.

Would you trade in your account to have Mana back for 30 mins?

Why should the rules bend differently because he were a veteran member? Do you even realize what you are saying?

To be fair to mana, he’s in an extreme emotional state right now. He’s just blowing off steam.

Just wish the guy could drop the constant agitated state he’s always in. Not sure why he feels like it’s his job to defend every piece of entertainment.

Why does anyone need to defend anything, especially to the point Mana did it. Dude's been active for over 20 years doing this thing, that's not healthy.

If i did what Mana did (but better), i would be the most known user on NeoGAF. Is that something one want to aspire to?

If anything, maybe he can now just lead a semblance of a more healthy life - No more NeoGaffians to think about.

Damn, the biggest legacy this game will have on this forum is that it was the game that got M ManaByte banned.

One could say he is now in the Shadows, per the game's title.

M ManaByte died on this hill?

sigh, hate to see veteran members go out over stuff like this.

Being Veteran member doesn't mean you're immune to the rules of the site, it means he should know better.
You can say pretty much what you like on here but gotta know when to nip it in the bud and not go on a personal crusade.
That doesn't mean you can't be passionate or stand your ground.
Just that we should talk to eachother like friends and colleagues.
And that includes calling them an dumb shit or taking the piss out of them.
But Throwing malicious insults and accusations like the member is the enemy isn't the way.
Sadly Manabyte somehow lost his way along the road.
