People joke, but I guess I saw someone get banned on the other side because font wars.
Using light font changes here and there for emphasis is fine; when you constantly saturate your shit with emphasis and fonts, it becomes obnoxious and loses a lot of meaning

While we're at it, may I ask you how come the idea from the empathy reaction?
I feel like it could be something different, like a patting a head, putting a hand in the shrouder of a person or even that hug meme about "I feel you bro".

It’s something different, but it’s quite well thought out. I really liked it after this explanation.

Eyes are the window into the soul. It is thought that the sclera of the eyes evolved to be white because seeing the state of the eyes more clearly aids in non-verbal communication and helps others relate, understand, and connect. In other words, eye cues are the main pathway for empathy.








This is not standard iconography for empathy (typically a blue heart or a brain handshake), but I think it's a good fit.

I Agree. But lets be honest, it only makes a good sense of it once you have the context/explanation.

You don't need explanation for other reactions. Even the ones people would normally need an explanation(praise the sun comes to mind) doesn't need one at all of how much self-explained it is.

I do agree, but sometimes doing something new requires a little bit of time for adjustment, especially when eye iconography tends to mean spying or watching. As we see it again and again, even without the explanation, I think people will naturally associate the eye, which is well visually designed, with empathy.

Plus, when Brap says shit about me in Meta Gaf when he thinks I’m not looking, the emote has a brilliant secondary function. :messenger_winking:

I mean, something like a hug emoji or whatever might be more self explanatory, but that might have less readability than an eye.

He got banned for mass reporting over people asking him about the font, telling them to ignore them while at the same time...you know mass reporting them. You CAN use any font you want.

Even nu times.

I never said you can't use any font you want

Just that it in essence people might stop looking at your posts more for thought rather than seeing your post with obnoxious fonts as annoying
And if disturbing enough might get you banned
Considering it caught the scrutiny of others, then the mods, then got a ban
 
I love Sony and I hate Microsoft, nothing wrong with that. Those are companies, not nationalities or religions. I've been frank about it since day one, but doesn't mean I won't say something good about xbox when I see it. I chose this avatar to make it clear as well and because it has great memories of the ASMR startup sound of PS1.

I'm not particularly fond of Xbox, but it would be straight up idiocy to not compliment/praise them when they, or their studios, do something positive or worthy of genuine acknowledgement, instead of resort to downplay it, or passively trash them for it, same applies to Nintendo (for instance, Xbox's Backwards compatability feature is awesome and I think its absolutely ridiculous that Sony doesn't follow suit on that note).

I seriously don't get the singular lane of thought that dictates some people's mind here. That being Sony, and only Sony, can do nothing wrong. The logic I see some apologists apply to bend over backwards while doing commentary somersaults or other street-stopping theatrics, as some kind of persuasion manevour, is baffling.

Figure 1.1: an actual depiction of how I react to Playstation topics, on average, whilst transcending into another dimension with a continuation of bafflement.

It honestly pisses me off because some of these people wash away all reasonable thinking and give the remaining actual Playstation fans a bad rep in return. Their bad behavior ricochets on the rest of us. I've almost completely dropped out of participating in Sony related topics due to the amount of lunacy I keep finding in them on a regular basis (see figure 1.1).

You seem to not reading enough xbox fans posts, which some of them are in the edge of lunacy. But I'll stop here.

I'll just say this, I dislike fanboys from any corner. They contribute little of value. Right now, I'm only addressing the Playstation side of things and there definitely are some posters from that camp who really need to rethink some things.

It's a gaming forum, it's natural. There are extreme cases, indeed, but it's natural in many other kinds of forums, especially if there is some kind of rivalry.

I’m definitely not neutral. This whole time, I’ve been wanting Microsoft to really bring it. Ask me how that’s going for me. :messenger_unamused:
Same here.
That initial reveal of the XSEX hardware was so fire.
Really loved everything they were doing. And that's coming from someone who always just had Sony and NIntendo consoles.

But for the love of Odin/Ganeesh/Moloch/etc, I don't have any idea why they don't show off what this hardware could actually do.

(Hopefully a quick reply in this thread is cool)

Yep. Everything they did with the One X was fantastic, Series X/Hellblade 2 dropped jaws last year, and the full hardware unveil early in the year was awesome too. I was so hyped.

Then May (or was it June?) happened. Everything since feels like a complete reversal in the most bitter way possible.

The hardware still looks amazing, to be clear. But it’s really hard to see that right now through Microsoft’s absolutely shoddy software and promotion, especially when the competition is doing good shows, awesome multiplat reveals, and has exclusives that are unquestionably ‘next-gen’.

At this my point, my hopes are for the ‘proof to be in the pudding’. If multiplatform games start coming out with serious visual extras on Series X, it will sidestep Microsoft’s awful promotion and software situation, and really speak for itself. One really hopes that Microsoft gets it together as well. Their ace hardware team certainly deserves better.

Can I just say I think E ExKing 's ban was a tad harsh since he later explained it was sarcasm:

Was being sarcastic. 4, 10.3 or 12 TF, it's doesn't matter, it's far away from 30 TF. So I don't get why Lochkart is targeted when all consoles are destroyed TFwise...

I'm all for people being dealt with when they talk about 9tf in order to be disingenuous or antagonistic, but I don't think this was one of those cases.

Bear in mind I don't know his history so just taking those couple of posts in isolation.

"/S" is your friend and you learn this very quickly when you get downvoted to hell on Reddit.

/s for sarcasm is absolutely retarded, and a product of the room temperature IQ over there. It completely removes the humor and fun, like someone elbowing you after a pun and saying, ‘Get it?’ ‘Get it?’.

No need for that on Gaf. Banned OP just sucks at it.

Sometimes it's not so obvious, had people laugh at some of my posts while being serious, and giving me normal thumbs up while being sarcastic. :lollipop_tears_of_joy: Also it lightens the blow if some crowd aren't taking it lightly.:lollipop_anxious_sweat:

I'll be honest with you, I use '/s' most of the time because people don't get or change to attack stance. Have nothing to do with mods. In fact, those days I use IMO more than '/s' because have less potential triggering.

I saw that and feel bad for him. He's a Neo and therefore couldn't edit his post to delete it the number that can't be said or add /s.

Edit - I looked at his ban message and it says he has previous warnings for console warring. Don't feel too sorry for him now.
