I'm gonna go away for a week or so, catch you guys later, keep well.

edit - Nothing to do with the PS5 show being postponed just the rest of the shit got me really down, going through facebook live with my flatmate there and I lost faith in humanity in about 5 minutes, I'm off to play games until this shit is over. I was having fun thinking about this show as a distraction from the bullshit but now its all intertwined, Fuck off Sony.

It's about how they die, and by whom. A black man was murdered by a police officer who is supposed to serve and protect him.

There are many cases of police officers killing black people due to racial profiling, of course. But I've seen a few videos and it always seemed to me the police officer was panicking or acting stressfully in the situation (like the infamous video last year when a police officer shot a black man inside his car after freaking when the black driver calmly told him he had a gun as he slowly went for his license). It was horrible, but you could see the police officer freaked out. It was a horrible mistake caused by inexperience and racial profiling.

The George Floyd case is different, however. The coip murdered him in a calm, orderly, calculated fashion which almost seemed surreal. It was like the Law was telling black people "We can end you whenever we feel like it, and you just have to sit down and take it." This is what made thousands of black and white sympathizers to go apeshit and protest (and riot). It's a slap in the face of human rights for many people and they want change and justice. You can just equate this to a murder charge or a terrorist hit. These things happen by people who want to hurt you.

George Floyd was murdered by a man who was supposed to keep him safe, and was murdered in a way that rivals dogs being put down.

Its the first time I saw that clip and I really have to wonder how much police training do you get in america? About 5 hours? Just enough to learn how to shoot?
Are they not trained in deescalation? Do they not have anything other than a lethal weapon with them? DO they not know how to walk away to get out of line of sight?
By the reaction of the cop you could see that he was clearly not capable of handling the situation. Not by his training, nor his mental capacity. He was shivering and completely lost in the situation that did not warrant this kind of escalation.

And maybe there comes a time when Americans realize that everyone having guns, does not make for a saver environment. But some people making less money clearly is more important.

lmao. you cant even discuss this on era because they locked the thread after receiving too many reports. i looked at the first few pages and its so tame compared to this thread.

all new threads being opened to discuss this are being locked until they can ban a sufficient amount of people to appease the outrage squad.

I'm really disappointed, honestly USA is quite pissing me off, as european citizen I really dislike the fact that whatever happens in the rest of the world nobody gives a shit but if that happens in USA everyone then must feel sorry for them, it's a shame in 2020 still USA is affected by racism towards black people and the other well known problem of guns, but honestly who cares, it's Trump's problem to find a solution, the show must go on, the pandemic is different story, this is global thn you undestand delays, but a USA problem is not a global problem

People that have never played a souls game in their life tell me that the first 30 mininutes in bloodborne is a hell of alot of fun.

Have tried to play Souls, I failed miserably, pathetically even. Then people going around be like "bro, with your 'skill' you should play Bloodborne, it's so easy and laid back, man."

Bought it day 1, and ended up, over the course of a week, looking at loading screens more than playing it. Failed again. But that cannot be blamed on the game being bad, it was and still is me, all the way.

Worst game ever for PS4 was Conan though. Have you ever had the misfortune of playing it?

Yep. lets not forget about global warming. This year is set to be the warmest year on record. Do we really need to celebrate video games when our kids are going to die from hurricanes?

NO! Enough is enough. we must delay the PS5 until we can fix global warming. Microsoft has the right idea. Lets make games designed on the base xbox one for the next 80 years. Cross gen forever.

Very true, but I will only say this once. We have a POLICE problem here, not a racial problem. Many more non-black people per year are killed by the police. (See 'Daniel Shaver' for the same kind of disgusting thing, but for a non-black person)

The problem is, they can get away with just about anything, the way the laws are currently constructed, by claiming they "felt threatened" or were in fear for their lives. See Tamir Rice or any number of others. This one was different in that it wasn't shooting someone who just had a phone in their hands, this appeared to be a police officer trying to teach a suspect, and to my perception, even the crowd shouting at him, a lesson. That he could do what he wanted to do. And a man died as a result. Terrible and maybe this will help us get the laws changed as they need to be. I doubt it though.

The double tragedy right now is that people are acting as violent criminals with the thin cover of it supposedly being about Mr. Floyd. It is NOT though, and it is taking away from the LEGITIMATE protests that are people's legitimate way to express their anger and disappointment. Now it's become all about the theft and destruction of property. Now the name Greg Floyd will be tied to riots and mayhem rather than the legitimate protest and change that is needed.

I have not tried Conan, seems like its a good thing lol.

As for bloodborne i did get the platinum trophy for it however there was a boss called the Defiled amygdala, it took me a week to kill the bloody thing, like 30 attempts a night for six nights. Apparently this boss was not meant to be even hard but it sure as hell gave me a backside probing.

Love bloodborne

Needless pandering for internet virtue signalling brownie points and/or not wanting to be #Cancelled for putting on a show and providing some much-needed entertainment and levity. Can we stop this trent of entertainments companies pandering to people that were never going to buy their product anyway?

WTF are random faceless corporations like Sony, from Japan no less, supposed to do? It's upto USA government to sanction the law enforcement. But then again it's all bullshit anyway. White people paid to damage property and instigate riots, so they can then turn around and blame blacks/muddy the narrative away from the police violence towards rioter destruction/class war. So, it's going to be an on-going bunch of BS either way.

Oh and, by the way, USA isn't the most important company in the world FFS. Thanks a lot, Sony.
