Ironic that you should post that since the past bread hasn't been archived yet (And, make sure the archive has the link to this thread).
I'm busy trying to get my email fixed.
Anyone know of any good email clients aside from Thunderbird (Because I really don't want to support Mozilla)?
>They know it won't kill it, but they have a little less competition when they sell games using engines & studios they own
There's one thing that's puzzling me about this…
WON'T THIS EFFECT THEIR BOTTOM LINE OF ALSO MAKING MONEY OFF OF WESTERN GAMERS?!?
As was pointed around during Spring of last year, Japanese games are flourishing in the West while Western games are bombing. Also, won't this end up destroying the gaming scenes in the fighting, MOBA, RTS, FPS, speedrunning, and e-sports communities, and hurt companies who make money off of those customers? If ''anything, 'ALL'' companies should be on panic alert, not just those in the West.

This embed has got you covered for most of that. The only problem is that it presents it too much from a "conspiracy" and "horror"direction.

Okay, sent off an email to Nichegamer about it with a link to the thread on /gamergatehq/. Could someone who has a Twitter handle see about passing this info to RedGamingTech: twitter.com/redgamingtech

<Video to show what I was talking about
>I say drop point 2 and make this point 1 or 2.
I'd say replace "OP Timber" (Since that's mostly finished) with the "Polygon" point, keep archive.is as point 2, and move the WHO information to point 1.
Also, two question.
>1. Should we still include OP Dicktionairy and OP Goolag in the opening post?
>2., Should we also post this the WHO information on /pol/ with a link to the /gamergatehq/ thread, or just a link to the articles?
>W.H.O. Seeks to Classify ‘Gaming Disorder’ as a Mental Illness, Claims ‘Enormous’ Stakeholder Pressure

>But even aside from all of that, Dr. Ferguson argues the science just doesn’t back up the WHO’s conclusion:
<Many of the “symptoms” proposed (particularly for the DSM version) are kind of normal stuff that many studies suggest aren’t really good predictors of problems. There’s also data suggesting the whole concept of “video game addiction” isn’t really stable and tends to go away by itself over time without treatment.
>The concern lies in the history of using classifications of mental illness as a weapon against groups and individuals by countries’ governments. Over 6,000 people in China — most of them teenagers — have been treated with actual electroshock therapy just because they were thought to have used the Internet too much. China also has a long history of committing whistleblowers and other dissidents to psychiatric “care” for the crime of disagreement. The subject is extensively covered in the 2002 book Dangerous Minds: Political Psychiatry in China Today and Its Origins in the Mao Era, published by Human Rights Watch.
>Richard J. Bonnie’s paper “Political Abuse of Psychiatry in the Soviet Union and in China: Complexities and Controversies,” published in The Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law in 2002, also paints a picture of just how convenient it can be for the powerful to leverage psychological diagnoses in order to silence those who disagree. He explains that such practices are “uniformly understood to be a particularly pernicious form of repression,” citing examples in which “psychatric diagnosis was essentially an exercise of social power.” By way of example, Bonnie explains:
<Under applicable laws of Russia and the other former Soviet Republics, a person charged with a crime could be subjected to “custodial measures of a medical nature” if the criminal act was proved and the person was found “nonimputable” due to mental illness.7 Nonimputable offenders could be placed in maximum security hospitals (the notorious “special hospitals”) or in ordinary hospitals, depending on their social dangerousness. All the persons interviewed by the delegation had been found nonimputable and socially dangerous and confined in special hospitals after criminal proceedings that deviated substantially from the general requirements specified in Soviet law. Typically, the patients reported that they had been arrested, taken to jail, taken to a hospital for forensic examination, and then taken to another hospital under a compulsory treatment order, without ever seeing an attorney or appearing in
court.
<The delegation found that there was no clinical basis for the judicial finding of nonimputability in 17 of these cases. In fact, the delegation found no evidence of mental disorder of any kind in 14 cases. It is likely that these individuals are representative of many hundreds of others who were found nonimputable for crimes of political or religious dissent in the Soviet Union, mainly between 1970 and 1990.
>And with regard to China:
<Munro’s research indicates, convincingly in my view, that the Soviet system of forensic psychiatry was transplanted to China during the 1950s and 1960s, thereby placing a small subset of psychiatrists at the intersection of criminal prosecution and psychiatric confinement, and importing a smoothly oiled process by which psychiatrists found that most offenders referred for assessment lacked criminal responsibility and committed them for treatment without any adjudication or judicial oversight. Eventually, in the 1980s, China also established a system of maximum-security forensic hospitals (Ankang), modeled after the Soviet “special hospitals,” for confining offenders who present a “social danger.”
>But lest you think that more open societies are immune to this insidious form of manipulation, consider our own messy history of psychiatric abuse. In 2010, a police officer was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward for attempting to reveal what he said was the truth about falsified crime rate statistics. He was eventually paid $600,000 in a settlement by the City of New York after filing a $50 million human rights violation suit. Our foster care system stuffs victimized children full of psychotropic drugs in a thinly veiled attempted to make them easier to handle. Schizophrenia was allegedly used to deliberately hamper the rise of civil rights. Barry Goldwater was publicly crucified for his conservative views by a team of psychiatrists who disagreed with him politically; the Goldwater Rule still exists because attacking someone’s mental fitness is such a potent weapon.
>In supporting diagnoses that are nebulous and unproven, the World Health Organization is giving its tacit approval of an arguably unscientific diagnosis with endless potential for abuse around the world. At best, it could be an easy platform upon which to medicate individuals instead of identifying actual behavioral issues. At worst, it could be one more tool — easily applied to just about any connected citizen — for silencing the inconvenient.
Deleted my two posts and cleaned it up a little bit. How much better does this look?

Hey, Acid, just found a picture you may like while cleaning out my porn folder.
And, another.
Another one for Acid (Involves tentacles)
The irony is that there really isn't any way they can prevent it (That is, in the U.S.). They're already violating the Constitution with their censorship ( >>>/gamergatehq/331436 ) so they could receive a visit from the authorities at any time, and alternatives already exist or are popping up everywhere (Like Gab, Wrongthink, DailyMotion, Bitchute, etc.).
Didn't the original trailer have him shot that one dug dealer who is black (Which the media had a coronary over)?
>you have an intel CPU and don't update windows? You're lending a simple script kiddie the keys to all your personal info. Intel and update windows? Your PC will run 30% slower, possibly 60% slower, to make you safe, and you have to deal with telementary. Have AMD? You simply might get fucked instead of definitely get fucked.
<Have laptop and tablet with Intel hardware
>Tablet already acts like it will drop dead at any moment, meanwhile just spent the weekend cleaning my laptop after a recent Windows 10 update slowed my system down greatly
<Desktop has a AMD APU
>Desktop already gives me enough struggle with a third of the games/emulators I run on it
I guess my desktop isn't completely fucked then.
>I just can't understand the people who buy these, then are surprised when they listen to you.
Also, wasn't the XB1 damned to Hell and back for having the Kinect always be on?
Didn't Reagan leave his governor position with the state in black, and, less than half a term later, his successor already had the state in the red again?
I guess the kicker to the whole incident was that Sony was about the pull the same damn thing (Even to the point of having it already programmed into the OS of every first-print PS4) until they saw the backlash, and now they're considered the "Saviors of Gaming" meanwhile leaving MS in the dust.
I guess the moral is to watch Microsoft so we know where shit is heading (That is, if they decide to make another XBox).
>So what CPUs are affected?
They're all infected, Anon. There is nothing you can do. Just let it happen and watch as everything burns to the ground.
Oh yeah, he did that because it was a part of a deal with the Democrats that he'd make them legals if they built a wall. Reagon was the only person who held up his end of the bargain.
Actually, there is very little you can do about a law that was passed over 30 years ago. It happened, we saw the result of it, now what can we, currently, do about it?
But DACA already violates Constitutional law. Best case scenario I can think of already is that he "gives" them their program in exchange for the wall, and the moment work on the wall begins, he throws the law to the courts and we watch as it's ripped to shreds.
