Gamers Rise Up became a lot more than just "edgy jokes." It became pretty blatantly racist and was like that for a good long while before it was shut down.
The fact that it took so long to get taken down is the real tragedy. The admins only began to care when the subreddit was getting more and more attention, long past the point it became a home for bigots.

Broke: Poogs is posting TFTB snippets in the hopes of "predicting" the eventual re-release/Redux.
Woke: Poogs is literally building his own Redux scenes, à la Wolf 2 fan tests he did.
Awww yeah and we got an official poster for this thing now too. (Shame that Falcon and the Winter Soldier couldn't finish filming before the pandemic, and is now coming out after WV. But hey I'm excited for the weirdness here.)
In a surprising turn of events. Microsoft has announced the acquisition of ZeniMax and Bethesda Softworks for $7.5 billion. Meaning Microsoft now owns the likes of Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Wolfenstein, Dishonored and their respective studios.

This is pretty nuts.
Also they're so going to try and convince Obsidian to make a Remaster or sequel to New Vegas, because that's all I've been hearing about from Fallout fans from the past few years.
"I wish the games were as good as New Vegas" or
"Only Obsidian knows how to make a good fallout game"
I don't know very much about Fallout other than its popularity (and that silk bag controversy) but it sounds to me like quite the money-making move if they use this buyout to give in to the fans' biggest demand over the past few years.

All I want from Microsoft now is to fire Todd Howard because he is still a lying piece of shit. Phil Spencer should notice that guys like him do not deserve a second chance.
It's insane news.

This is absolutely huge, and devastating for me as a PlayStation guy. Some of my favorites games are Doom and Dishonored, now I’m worried that future installments might be complete exclusives or timed exclusives. But still, this is shocking.

Aw shit, that was today, wasn't it?
Crazy man. I still remember going into the Violet ship thread after finally deciding sift through it and just seeing that fan say, "It's over."
Wow. I forgot. Time flies when your favourite company dies.
Guess I should better remember it via Earth, Wind and Fire. And how everything changed when Bruner attacked. (Or was it Netflix? Or that Stranger Things leaker? Should we pin it on Hawley? Oh, fiddlesticks.)
Bruner started it and made all of the problems worse, Hawley tried to stop the bleeding but the wound was too deep, and the Stranger Things leak was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I could see sequels to games that were already available on Playstation (Doom, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, etc) being timed exclusives on Xbox for a few months before being released on Playstation. New IP's though, will probably be Xbox and PC only, and maybe Switch since Microsoft and Nintendo have a good relationship with one another.

Wth is this?
The dark side of the funk is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... groovy.
r/GamersRiseUp was banned because it was literally filled with neo nazi's. I think that's a little worse than it simply being "edgy."

It’s true that Todd often lies or stretches the truth, but come on, the memes that come from him are glorious.
Do you remember?
Too...soon
