While I'm against censorship on social media I don't give a shit about him.

I'm a transgender MTF and I almost killed myself because of his stupid ideology calling being transgender "autogenephilia".

I wanted to kill myself not because "wah there's someone who doesn't like me wah"(I couldn't care less what people think about me) but rather because according to his retarded theory I'm some kind of mentally ill freak that has a fetish for wanting to be female and that was the first thing about transgender people I read cause I didn't know anything before that.

What are your favourite video games and why? by [deleted] in AskSaidIt

[–]PaigeAP 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

The divide for the game is usually because of the story.

You'll either love it and defend it to death or you'll hate everything about it.

I personally love the story of Chloe, Max and Rachel to the point I have played through the game and the prequel Before The Storm at least 10 times. For some reason the game has this addictive nostalgia feeling that I really love.

I assume most people will leave once Reddit does an IPO(Initial Public Offering).

Not surprised after they banned WPD it's only a matter of time until they ban other controversial subreddits.

This is going to be the next great Reddit purge, probably still not going to ban r/The Donald.

I'm glad SaidIt exists.

What are your favourite video games and why? by [deleted] in AskSaidIt

[–]PaigeAP 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

In no particular order.

  1. Telltale's The Walking Dead Games - It's a story-driven, point and click, choose your own adventure game and as a novice writer and a big post-apocalyptic and zombie fan I immediately loved it.

  2. Life Is Strange 1 - Similar to the one above I loved it because it was a story driven choice game. This game might be the best game of this type that I played. The thing about this game is you either love it or hate it, there's no in between

  3. Mudrunner - It's an offroading simulation game. Basically what you do is drive around the map with trucks trying to haul logs but do not let that fool you the terrain is very hard to manoeuvre through. Sometimes you have to go through huge rivers, swamps, forests and one wrong move and you might have to start all over again and if you want to use the minimap to help you, you first have to explore it.

  4. Cities Skylines - Best city builder and management game hands down. You won't find a better game than this one. There's also plenty of mods and maps and if you want you can make one yourself.

  5. Euro Truck Simulator - Best truck hauling simulator game. It's such a chill and enjoyable game. It's so good truck drivers love playing it in their free time. It might get boring to play after a while but like most games, it has mods that make it more realistic and entertaining. There is also an American Truck Simulator.

  6. Far Cry 3 - In my opinion the best Far Cry game. I love the atmosphere and the story.

  7. Outlast 1 and DLC Whistleblower - It's my favourite horror game. It genuinely felt scary and the story was engaging and there was no Deus Ex Machina like in Outlast 2.

  8. State Of Decay 1 - In my opinion, this game has almost everything I want a game about zombies to have. In the game, you have to go around help survivors, scavenge and kill zombies.

Too bad John Wick isn't real.

Actually that sounds like (more than?) fair compensation to me.

It is, but that shouldn't have had their home raided in the first place and by a SWAT team.

Until a better OS for gaming than Windows shows up the majority of people will stay on Windows.

CrackWatch is a sub about keeping up with the status of video/games(whether there has been a cracked version) and notifying people when it is released(no links).

SaidIt Enhancement Suite would be the SaidIt version of the Reddit Enhancement Suite which ads customizable functions like:

tagging user(writing something besides their username to remind you where you interacted with them

customizing colors of the usernames

and many more functions.

There is actually RES for SaidIt -https://saidit.net/s/SaidIt/comments/je/res_for_saidit_supports_chrome_opera_firefox_and/

but it works horrible and using it screwed with my settings for Reddit.

No idea, maybe they were asleep and it had gotten so bad that by the time they woke up it didn't take long for them to die.

I mean I get how the one lying on the bed the one under the window and the one on the window died but I don't get how the one sitting died. It just looks wierd.

imagine if it moved or jumped forward

Are you arguing that the shooter's goals were to entice the government into shutting down right-wing/fascist websites?

There is nothing wrong with a website being right wing or left wing.

His goals were to create a cultural revolution by polarizing the left and the right even further than they already are.

And NZ is playing right into his hands by censoring the video and the manifesto(for some reason), imprisoning an 18-year old for sharing the video(there is suspicion that he knew about the attack beforehand but as far as I know It's not confirmed)and now ISPs blocking certain websites because this causes people(mostly on the right and center) to start worrying(IMO rightfully) about freedom of speech and internet censorship.

The shutting down of fascist websites

Yeah, but who decides which sites are fascist? What would stop NZ government, as unlikely as it is, to one day do what the current Russian government is doing yet people denounce Russia but support NZ doing it.

Is this because the media are incompetent? Is it because they can't get a hold of the evidence to do their jobs because of the censorship? Or is it to control how the reporting is done?

I think it's all of that combined.

Could be politically influenced.

What I don't get is why the manifesto also gets removed.

Like for the video, I can somewhat understand but the manifesto I can't. In it, he clearly explains why he did it and what his goals were.
