if your game isnt talked about here thats a good thing
Use screenshots or fan art of lesser known characters or moments only true fans/haters would know.Filters out those who never played (ie 90% of /v/), and if nobody responds, then no anon that was worth talking about it with is on right now anyway. Try again later.'imple as.I'm sure I miss plenty of threads I would have liked to talk in.
>>728595880actual pro strat
>>728595412was it kcd2, op?
>>728595412I try like 5 times, then give up. But not really, I just WAIT for a decent enough excuse to bring it up that sounds natural enough.
I just don't discuss it. There's like 3 or 4 games I enjoy that are outright radioactive on /v/. I just play them and have fun.
>>728595412I've accepted that it's easy pickings for fixated shitposters and no longer attempt to discuss it on /v/. If there's a thread up I'll check it out, but I've mostly had my fill of discussion regardless and don't feel like I'm missing out on much
>>728596305not op but it's impossible to discuss any non-elder scroll bethesda games these days
Use reddit.People behave like human beings there.Only about 10% of posts on there are retarded, when 90% of posts on /v/ are retarded and/or 'I was merely pretending to be retarded'.4chan is for 'lols' and since 2016 people now genuinely say 'nigger' and 'tranny' when originally it was funny and ironic and traps were part of the culture.Modern /v/ is a shithole that is simply better scrolling material than instagram and reality-based social media.For actual discussion, go to the game's subreddit, or the website/forum of the game, if it has one.For me, it's Dwarf Fortress. /v/ has a complete aneurism due to the intense insecurity about female dwarves having beards or whatever. /v/ has massive gender identity issues. Also /v/ has a bunch of retards that think the Steam version is somehow a bad thing.It's pretty much impossible to talk about any games on /v/. It's an off-topic board. I never use it for genuine vidya discussion. It's 'for the lulz' and porn and news headlines. I hear about a lot of games here, because I don't actually browse reddit. I go to targeted game-specific subreddits. I use /v/ for 'news' and finding random games.Now comment on my reddit spacing.You can predict half of the posts/responses on /v/. It's a bunch of retarded bot insects responding with stuff they heard, because they can't form a coherent thought of their own.
>>728595412Post it and you'll find out real fuckin' fast who wants to talk about the game and who doesn't have free will
>>728600276>reddit spacingI'm still in awe that anons genuinely believe this is a real thing. It's way too easy to instill neurosis on this site
Discussion is for fags. Communities are cancer. We live in a society...........
>>728595412Post about your favorite game in a tangentially broader thread. Sperg out about it, give a high-quality post detailing and outlining why you like the game. Share cool memories about it, if you're really passionate about the game then cool discussion will follow, and if it doesn't, you're still a leg up above any off-topic thread.
>>728600276TRVKE ALERT TRVKE ALERTI'll never ever use reddit, though.
>>728595412stop having shit taste
>>728600276errmm... I disagree, downvote!
>>728601170I haven't used it in years, actually, but that's because I got a job at a vidya company so I basically talk about games all day at work. It's mostly people with obscure taste, too, because real vidya companies are nothing like /v/'s made up delusions. I can find an irl person for every single genre of vidya to talk to at my place of work. Only about 10% of them are antisocial spaghetti. Most of them are chill and we can have a real conversation about whatever stupid game or whatever stupid news is going on.It's highly competitive so you can't just be a NEET retard and keep a job there. Only legitimately smart people hang around and keep their jobs beyond the intern/temp phase.
>>728601632Damn my empathy level is le drain drainingWe did it 4chanzWe did it boyos
Every thread it's like a bunch of faggots threw caltrops everywhere
>>728600276>People behave like human beings there.Not with that retarded faggot upvote system no they don't.
>>728601632That sounds like a lot of work to talk about vidya. For me I have a close group of friends on discord who have pretty solid taste and I can semiregularly nudge into playing what I like.Just can't give up my good memories of this shithole.
>>728602016Why would I give a fuck if my comment gets downvoted?That's most of /v/'s problem. They are incredibly insecure so 'le reddit boogeyman' is just them getting their feefees hurt by redditors. Are you terrified of your opinion being a minority opinion? Get over it.>farming for (you)s>getting upvotesIt's the exact same website, but on /v/ you can hide how retarded your opinion is, so anons stay here.
>>728600276why are you here?
>>728602073Yeah it's been a good heart to heart my fellow white man. [s]There's like 3 or 4 games I enjoy that are outright radioactive on /v/. I just play them and have fun.[\s]
>>728602289>why would you care about being censored and banned by gay redditors for expressing normal opinions?honestly, how can you discuss anything on preddit?
>>728595412>love PVZ and the Garden Warfare games>can't have a thread on /v/ because either it's gonna die with sub 20 posts or be derailed by plantfuckers>plus the series is practiclly deadI'm honestly jealous of Katawa Shoujo and DDLC fans because how they can make thousands of generals on /vg/, meanwhile I can't get a single ontopic PVZ thread on /v/. My only options to discuss the games is either plebbit or pisscordBeing a PVZ fan is suffering
>>728595412I don't do anything, however, sometimes the stars align and the subject comes out somewhere on /a/ or /tv/ or whatever, and those are the best threads, for some reason the best place to talk about videogames is anywhere but /v/, and that aplies to movies and anime too.
>>728602357like 80% of /v/ also uses twitter anon
>>728600276Say what you will about 4chan, but it's the only site where you can anonymously post absolutely anything with no incentive to self-censor or conform. Your posts aren't subject to others' whims under the upvote system.>but (You)s are the same thing!No, they're not. Upvoted comments are boosted to the top and downvoted comments are buried, whereas any opinion on 4chan carries the same weight regardless of any replies. Reddit rewards virtue signalling, algorithm-friendly phrasing, and the voicing of "safe", mainstream opinions, because that's what gets upvotes. Reddit also rewards upvotes with post awards and karma, which are tied to your account, whereas farming for (You)s is entirely intrinsically motivated and doesn't carry over to other threads. Anonymity is a boon since there's no reputation to uphold, no status hierarchy through upvotes/karma/profile customisation, and nothing pushing you to conform.>Only about 10% of posts on there are retarded, when 90% of posts on /v/ are retarded and/or 'I was merely pretending to be retarded'What's the point of using percentages if they're fabricated? Don't lie to yourself; Reddit is just as retarded as 4chan, only theirs is a different flavour. Threads on subs aren't composed of any more game discussion than threads on here; you only need to filter out obvious /pol/ threads and bait if you want to actually discuss a game, which should be a given if you've been on /v/ for more than 10 minutes. Big subs are /v/lite, and small subs are the same clique of Discord trannies trying to be quirky for upvotes. At least with the fast-moving nature of imageboards, discussions on /v/ feel like speaking in an anonymous chatroom rather than posting into the void and getting a reply a week later, or having your comment downvoted to the bottom by the Reddit hivemind or hidden by a mod high on his own farts until the thread gets locked.Go to /vg/ if you want long-form game discussion; otherwise, fuck off back to /r/eddit.
>>728605597>go to /vg/Jesus christ no, don't ever go to /vg/, that's where you contsin the weaponized autists.
