What game brings you back to the good old days?
Ratchet and ClankSpiderman 2 on the PS2
>Back in 2016 it was commonly agreed upon that the reason this place is going to shit is because of normalfags and election tourists>Nowadays, say this place sucks because of normalfags and election tourists>"Umm nooo shut up, you're a normalfag too, we all are, we always were!">"Like, what even if is a normalfag? You can't define it, define it IMMEDIATELY!">"Election tourists? No way bro those don't even exist shut up you're lying also I was here I'm a true and honest 2020 oldfa- err, I mean, I was totally here since 1992 or something">"Shut up no it's not no it's not, it's because of uhhhh.... Shills! Industry plants! China! India! Some other third world country! Some boogeyman! Not us, anyone but us!"I'm starting to think the normalfags and election tourists took over which is why it's not forbidden to say
>>733095719resident evil 4wwe here comes the painpokemon emeraldpokemon platinumkingdom hearts
>>733096079>janitors turn out to actually be from intelligence agencies and PR firms militantly shaping online discourse with nothing to check their 1984 level bullshit.
>>733096079>normalf--sJust say Normies, same sentiment but without the slur.
>>733096079they basically did yeah, real oldfags are a rarity and everything we used to regard as sacred here is shat on it was all over when calling it "tranime" became commonplace
>>733096079oldfags in modern 4chan full of zoomer and Gen Alpha teens is considered someone from before the 2024 elections, you're basically an ancient relic if you're using 4chan since before COVID
>>733095719>picThis kind of thinking it's delusional and some form of coping most of the time. Bet 6 years from now on some guy it's gonna miss 2026 or even the 2020s decade while in the next one like if it were some long lost golden age.
there is no way 2016 was one decade ago stop gaslighting me
>>733096079the fate of this place was sealed when a certain someone convinced moot to reverse his decision about having a politics board on what was supposed to be a fun hobbyist website for autismos
>>7330957192016 was the last good year
>2016>good old daysThe world went to hell In 2008.
2011 was the last truly comfy year for a regular 4chan user.It was all downhill from there. Something died on 12 21 12.The Mayans were right.
>>733095719First time I played a game on a PC
>>733096356"tranime" is just normalfags attempting to try and fit in with the modern day 2edgy4me culture while doing the thing they always used to do, trying to bully us for liking something 'weird' that they don'tsame sentiment just different word usage, no real differencethey have a habit of being so mad that someone is enjoying something that's socially unacceptable that they'll chance us to the ends of the earth and slither into anywhere they're not welcomed just to disrupt it
>>733095719melee, halo 2, fable, pokemon gsc, ffx, and bomberman hero>>733096079/v/ went to shit for the same reasons as games themselves, normies, MaRgiNaLiZeD gRoUps, social media, and corpos
>>733095719It keeps happening
>>733095719Everything's been ass since the Global Financial Crisis hit in late 2007.
>>733096615culture and society were objectively better in 2014 regardless if you were a depressed hiki neet
>>733096079>TRUMP BAD TRUMP BAD TRUMP BADThat vaxx gave you derangement syndrome.
>>733096456/pol/ was a complete nothingburger board before journo secret club bullshit pushed people towards during Gamergate.Then came the elections.Before that their influence was contained to a couple of slogans and some funny webms from the cup, and webm was added in like 2014 anyway.Or are you going to tell me the Zimmerman trials shook the site to the very core
>>733095719Back when wealthy elite professionals would lose their shit if a complete nobody on the internet decided not to watch a movie.
>>733096325Shutup dipshitfag
>>733096718>Normies flooding gaming with developers specifically targeting them as the only demographic, and movie games are reaching established genre statusTry again, retard
>>733096574I stick around and post here every once in a while to trigger the fags from r/games and r/anime that come herethat, and the failed somethingawful tranny jannies that somehow slithered their way here are super easy to triggerso anywayChrist is Kingseethe, cope, and d*l*te, troons
>>733096817>but the cancer didn't cause any symptoms until it metastasized
>>733096813I wanna know what sorta connections get created in a person's brain to make them post something like this in reply to the thread you're responding to and think it makes any sorta sense
2012-2022 were gaming's Dark Ages
>>733096920
>>733095719this shit
>>733096965"Election tourists" is leftist coded language for Trump supporters that moved here during 2015/6 when every other site became pro censorship. These are based people.
>the most obnoxious and controversial election in US history>Black Lives Matters riots>the rise of Elsagate>"Pokémon Go to the polls">social media and online bickering becoming progressively more dominantI know you can nostalgia over any year if you try hard enough, but why 2016 specifically?
>>733096035Its funny you listed RaC and spiderman because I recently discovered that we were robbed of new RaC games because insomniac shifted their focus to making the spiderman games which were more successful. I still buy every new RaC so its crushed me that we're down to one title per generation and the next will likely be the final unless they decide to go through a new franchise under Rivet
>>733097138Oh ok, hallucinationsCheers bro
>>733096325Fucking cringe
>>733095719Life used to be better before Trump and Gamer Gate. Now every little stupid thing on the internet is taken super seriously
>>733096817Gamergate was nothing compared to the fappening, and both happened in the same summer. You can screech that gamergate ruined 4chan all you want, but the fappening promising celebrity nudes with 4chan as the primary source is going to draw a lot more people than some fatass cheating on her boyfriend for press coverage.
>>733096079/v/ is shit because there's almost no moderation and it essentially gets used as a blue-board /b/.
>oldfag from 2016
>>733097382why are normies so obsessed with celebrities? even to this day after the release of horrible events unfolding?
>>733095719It was never good. The good times never came.
>>733097464Shhhhh /pol/ is now trying to gaslight themselves Moot made /pol/ so people could fight against Epstein on his behalf
>>733097464you guys actually fall for this spstein's list nonsense? if i was the government and i had a list of people i needed to socially dispose of (which, if i was the government, i probably would have such a list) i would absolutely put them in the document that the entirety of western society has been rabid for for the past couple of years that we've been edging them towards knowing they'd question none of it
>>7330971732015 was the based year because Trumps campaign was a riot. His term was great the first 3 years and then covid ruined the following 2 years though I made the best of it
>>733097464For what it's worth I do kind of understand how it'd be hard to admit to yourself that the worldview you've had for the last decade was a social control experiment cooked up by a cabal of pedophiles. You probably should admit it to yourself but that's a tough pill to swallow.
>>733097464>epstein invented getting mad at trannies in video games and criticizing immigrationI will now denounce my views and devote my life to troonified race communism.
>>733097209Ratchet and clank's story concluded with gladiator or a crack in time if you really wanna push it, regardless however it's a niche franchise with nowhere to go other than please its oldtroon fans every once in 5 years from now. I can't blame insomniac for becoming the marvel studio
>>733097464>>733097543moot was most likely a naive stooge who didn't realize what was going on until it was too late, which is why he suddenly cut off contact with epstein and sold the website to a jap scam artist.
>>733097464*remadeAt least you faggots will drop the "swarmfront" /new/ narrative you got from shithead breadtubers you post election scum.
>>733096939You mistake /pol/ as the source of the problem, when the problem was the loss of anonymity and increasing censorship on the rest of the internet.Without /pol/, this site would have still been overtaken by tourists looking to vent and shitpost because that is what they sought.It was already happening with or without /pol/, as you had redditors come here, to /v/, to /tv/, to other popular boards because they knew they can post whatever the fuck they want, and leave the "serious" discussions for their little red gay android site.
>another trail successfully derailed by fags screeching at polCongrats retards
>>733097138x coded is left coded language retardalso weather or not you like trump and think he's big based is regardless, you niggers ruined this fucking website and killed its culture so you could become facebook tier boomer conservatives, the politics don't matter
>>733095719Mario Sunshine
Last time this website was tolerable was back before gamer gate (aka the great gamer enlistment into the jewish takeover force) which was 2015It only got worse with the 2016 electionWealthy elites should have been stopped long ago, it's a shame we're surrounded by so many feeble minded anons susceptible to /pol/ propaganda
>>733096079I distinctly remember in 2016 it was common to say it was "the worst year ever."
>>733097786>all of the people who said "dude gamergate helped me see the light and got me into politics" suddenly pretending that none of that ever happenedlol>>733097871>stormfront is just a youtube narrative nobody ever talked about thatyou weren't there
>>733097406/v/ has moderation, it's just the moderation actively encourages the things that ruin the site. Rapeape is a twitterfag who loves having twitter shit on the catalog and sees nothing wrong with dickwads like jeet nation screencapping things on here, posting it on twitter with a dumbass "this true?" caption, and then some other dumbass screencapping his screencap and posting it here.
/pol/ was always right
>>733097632zoomers seem to be obsessed with it, to me it just sounds like a shitpost
>>733097987"/b/ has always been shit" is a saying for a reason: anons love to fantasise about the good old days when 4chan was good
>>733098091>jewish pedophile elites were always right
>>733096325Fucking nigger, get the fuck out of this site
>>733095719Kill zoomers
>>733095719Diablo 2. Never stopped playing it and never will.
>>733095719pretty much anything from gen 6, everything released during that time be it movies, shows, music or games had untold amounts of soul
>>733096079They did. Plus /pol/ turned out to be a psyop by the normalfags. So yes, the election tourists thing is real.
>>733098132"zoomers" god that slang is retarded are obsessed with anything that makes them feel morally righteous without actually standing for anything, if government literally comes and tells them 'hey uhh what's the current thing you're supposed to dislike? ok, well, those people we need to uh.... 'disappear'... are that thing... ok, do your job, kiddos!' they'll jump on the opportunity to destroy them
>>733098146/pol/ was telling you about jewish pedophile elites (epstein included) since before 2015. You continue to fall for the psyop.
>>733096079Very funny how Rules 1 and 2 used to be a thing that everyone on 4chan pushed, and it worked exactly the same as it did in the actual movie fight club (bunch of newfags came in acting like it's secret club)
>>733098136It's like that because we have to tell people who think 4chan is only and should only be /b/, that that was the cancer ultimately ruining 4chan.
>>733096079I'm old enough to remember the Fox News and Oprah segments on 4chan bringing in tourists. Hell, I'm old enough to remember when so many people were complaining about people from Gaia Online that they autobanned you for calling people Gaiafags. Good times.>>733095719Too many to count. Lately I've been making my friends play Unreal Tournament 2004 with me and it really brings me back to high school.
>>733098349/pol/ was only calling out jewish pedos because said jewish pedos set it up so the loudest voices talking about their pedo jewishness were lunatic schizos from the garbage-bin of the internet. they played you like a fiddle
>>733095719>tfw I'd already dropped out of college by 2016>tfw there are anons itt who were in elementary school back then
Right before we were all turned against each other by a global cabal of pedophiles so we wouldn't do anything about them eating babies
>>733098286>are obsessed with anything that makes them feel morally righteous without actually standing for anythingAnd boomers, Gen Xers and Millenials aren't?Oldest zoomers were barely voting age in 2016. They are only now starting to enter upper management positions.The Zoomer is the victim of the modern world build by the 3 most delusional generations in human history and they get dunked on for not knowing how to use a can opener while being filmed by the laughing parent that was supposed to teach them how to use and not humilate their own flesh and blood on the internet for facebook likes.
>>733098498>Oprah segments on 4chan bringing in touristsGetting her to say that there are over 9000 penises raping people was pretty based.
>>733097934they keep trying to push that narrative in order to topple another bulwark against the censorship bullshit. We caught several organizations pushing that narrative here, they can fuck off. /pol/ is a side effect of a world wide disease.
>>733098714the people filming their children for social points on tiktok are zoomers tho
>>733098527QAnon was the psyop and everyone on /pol/ called it out for what it was. You're referring to the jewish media creating bogeymen and blaming it on /pol/ when no matter who discussed it they would've still been censored and called schizos. It's your fault for not believing us when we told you about all this shit more than a decade ago. /pol/ culture predates the board itself too.
>>733096079The elites don't fuck around. If they and other opportunists with power left the internet alone then the moronic masses worldwide would've developed class consciousness freakishly fast after getting smartphones. Every conclusion you need to come to can be drawn from that. We are playing a psychological game with many layers and both the righties making everything an unwinnable bait situation and the lefties constantly eating each other over purity metrics are the foot soldiers for their bullshit, and the point is to prevent cohesion.The fact that you and I are bitching about this rather than laughing as some guy jacking off to tile patterns. That is the point. Sorry if this post seems kinda all over the place, I have years of pent up rage over this.
>>733098773What do you think of moot creating /pol/ right after meeting with epstein, who we know for a fact said that 4chan is a good tool for manipulation. Is it just a coincidence?
>>733098808cope
>>733098729Yeah, that honestly still makes me laugh my ass off. That and the "I got a dog and curtains" guy. I think that was part of the "hackers on steroids" bit Fox did? Not sure. It was fun how much this site used to fuck with mainstream media, or even less popular stuff like Tom Green during his live show.
>>733097632The real issue is that the list wasn't released until AI was decent enough to fake anything you would want into it.
>>733098871Noticing jews predates /pol/ itself, if there was any psyop at all it was making you think we were schizos, not that we were wrong. /pol/ has always been aware of glowniggers in the board.
>>733097652>His term was great the first 3 yearsLol at MAGAfags trying to rewrite history. His term was a disaster from day one when he immediately hired a bunch of necons and started doing favors for Israel while failing to deliver on every single election promise.
>>733099069>completely ignored my question entirely
>>733097632Even if the document is real, the ultimate jewish golems, trannies, are trying to call other people astroturfed with the most kooky schizo conspiracy theory imaginable: moot met epstein once so therefore your entire worldview of not liking jews, niggers, etc. is somehow a psyop.
I can't fucking stand the 2016 glazing the 2010s is the worst decade of the last 50 years and specifically like, 2012-2017 was the worst of all the only reason anyone would think of 2016 like, say 2007 or 2002 or 1998 is because they were 7 and are now turning 17
>>733099194Your question is a dishonest one which is why I didn't answer it. Even if it was made as a tip, the culture that went into the board predated it and the email.
>>733099215>/pol/ has finally circled back to calling other people crazy conspiracy theoristsIncredible.
>>7330957192006*2016 was already way into the woke train and immigration hell.
>>733099353You're starting to glow, nigger.
>>733099352>ifSo is your answer to "is it just a coincidence" is "yes"?
>>733099436glownigger
>>733099420Am I a crazy conspiracy theorist or a glownigger?
>>733099353>moot met epstein once>makes board that makes people hyper aware of jews and spreads that directly or by proxy to millions>this is somehow in epstein/mossad's interest, but i can't explain why because it doesn't make any sense even by any mental gymnastics>???>profit somehowYou will never be a woman.
>>733098871those issues were a problem before Epstein. as were dishonest players getting into the gaming industry. those issues were going to happen with or without that board existing. That's something that a lot of detractors don't seem to get. The subversion of every institution has been going on since the '60s, and gaming was absolutely not going to be an exception. there needed to be organized places that weren't over moderated like bReddit to at least give people a voice against it. /pol/ is many things, but a cancer to the industry isn't one fo them. its a painkiller.
>>733099479>has resorted to autistic screechingConcession accepted.>>733099514>makes board that makes people hyper aware of jews and spreads that directly or by proxy to millionsActually that was tiktok, which is why they forced bytedance to sell it to a jew. You never thought it was weird that the government left /pol/ alone but went after other websites?
>>733098786Zoomers can't even own a house of their own, what makes you think that they have children?
>>733096325gtfo
>>733099620I was the one you were originally arguing with, I don't know what that guy's going on about. the destruction of the gaming industry needed to be covered, and at the time mods were banning threads about it. /pol/ is invaluable when it comes to talking about things the mods don't want you to talk about here.
>>733099620Since you're talking from experience, glownigger, yes, pol has been aware they're infested with three letter agencies since its inception.
>>733099632Ah yes, because people only ever have children when it's financially responsible to do so
>>733099707Educated members of society do, yes.
>>733099686>the destruction of the gaming industry needed to be coveredlol "the destruction of the gaming industry", you really fell for that shit?>>733099687Why did they never attempt to take /pol/ down like they did with places like tiktok?
>>733099707>The generation with the lowest sex ratio>Having kidsAre you one of those tards that think 1996ers are zoomers?
>>733099831Because this entire board is a honeypot, we've known this for decades smartass.
>>733099831okay you are definitely fucking with me. we have seen the social media accounts of people that work in the industry celebrating its destruction and redistribution of power to themselves. I don't understand why you are either ignorant of these things, or knowingly dishonest. You can literally Google it and see these people hate video games, but they love using them as a social platform. this isn't up for debate. this industry has been under attack from within, and externally from things like corrupt journalism rackets.
>>733099874>meanwhile the only arrests from /pol/ are retards who made death threats to a sheriff
>>733100036You're talking with a fed. Probably mossad or who knows what, he'll continue trolling you because that's what he is supposed to do.
>>733100036oh lemme guess you're one of those people who took "gaming journalism" super seriously and unironically believed that glorified bloggers were controlling companies?
>>733100061I will always laugh that the post that got him included a fucking My Little Pony fan OC of a Nazi pony.
>>733099831they really wanted to brainwash /pol/ boomers into the qanon cult for some reason
>>733095719i was born in 95 and everything post 2004 or so has been dog fucking shit besides video games lol
Nothing has changed since 2016. You can not say "remember 2016?" as if it is any different at all from 2026. It's all the same. Nothing has changed since then.If the image said 2006 then it would make sense.
>>733100164they don't control the companies, why would you think that? Zoe Quinn was the prime example of the issue. she's the flagship example that you can point to and no amount of denying and gas lighting can escape it. I shouldn't even have to say anymore. there is proven collusion just like in big politics, and they've outright been hand and hand. If you don't want to believe that I'm not going to try to force you, but if you've been here longer than a year you've surely seen such things referenced habitually.
>>733100214QAnon was their well poisoning measure, some of the stuff they said was true while the rest were outlandish fiction, then they used it to brainwash boomers and make jewish awareness sound schizo up until recently. Even random normies are starting to wake up and even relate to hitler of all things, kinda funny to see on random parts of the internet.
>>733096079The moment you complain about election tourists and/or poltards, you are a tranny leftoid liberal.Its so fucking painful. Someone starts derailing thread with idpol shit and you call it out and everyone goes "lol troon mad xD go back this isn't your hugbox leftist!!!".But same people fucking flip if someone somewhere makes fun of political figure. I hate this shit so fucking much TAKE ME BACK PLEASE
>>733100406you ever asked yourself "wait why did something about paid video game reviews suddenly turn into a politics thing"?
>>733100435Half of the watermelon red triangle people who care a lot about Gaza despite being white, not Muslim or Jewish, and from Colorado are full blown Nazis who hate all Jews now
>>733096325Faggot
>>733100541Because jews, next question.>>733100514I sorta agree with you that /pol/ discussion has no place in these boards, but politics is becoming so engrossing these days it's inevitable running into some classic controversy and derailing shit.
>>733096079>normalfags Just say Niggerfaggots, same sentiment but with double the slur
>>733100340It's actually kind of astonishing how stagnant the last decade's been culturally. The fucking internet memes are even the same.
>>733100682>thought-terminating cliche
>>733100514Those people are the majority at this point.
>>733096325Kill yourself nigger
>>733095719>zoomers are nostalgic for 2016truly a pathetic existence
>>733099514>global elite is reeling after occupy wall street >media throughout the West spikes mentions of race and racism in a (successful) attempt to refocus the public in ultimately meaningless intra-class issues and distract their attention form the people at the top>shortly after meeting a key figure in the elite cabal moot makes a board that, quite conveniently, is extremely focused on race politics>despite their "hyper awareness" of jews they go all in on Israel's biggest puppet and one of Epstein's best friends>Israel profits, wall street profits, neocons profit
>>733100541yeah I did, and we broke open the collusion by digging in. they were so extremely pissed they laid on raiders to shit over the entire website, not just a single board. we still deal with those artistic factors to this day.
>>733100828nta, but even without that we would still have the problem with Indians, DARPA, progressive leftists pushing IdPol, and people from r/gcj/ trying to manipulate the boards. these things were inevitable.
>AAAAAH THE PASSAGE OF TIME I'M PETER PANgrow up
>>733097821Its the only game that scratches the itch that its gameplay satisfies. Clearly spiderman made them richer but its still a bummer for people who enjoy a variety of game types because nothing captures the mix of platforming and shooting like RaC does, i even liked the PS5 entry though it was short the gameplay was excellent and it had tons of guns
>>733095719In 10 years alphaniggers will be saying how good the mid 20's were
>>733097987If you love fun 2015 to 16 was a blast with all the Trump seething
>>733100704I think the internet needs to be shut off. Being so connected has destroyed the human soul. Everything metastasized in the late 2010s into terminal cancer
>>733100842Ok, so what's the answer? Why did something that was supposed to be about corrupt business practices suddenly become a political thing? Why were all of these gamergate youtubers talking about how gamergate was actually about fighting leftists?
>>733096079You can't even call out twitter screencap threads anymore. We are years, maybe even a decade past the terminal normalfag saturation point.
>>733100842Stop engaging with the glownigger.
>>7330957192016 wasn’t a good year, and I say this as a zoomer
>>733101196because these institutions bleed into each other. You should Google the long March through the institutions. The use of progressive leftists as a battering ram is only one step of the greater globalization of all industries under wide reaching corporations. That's at a much higher level though. down here in the dregs, we have to deal with the foot soldiers. and I am sick of rainbow soldiers coming here gleefully shitting everything up because they think they are some righteous zealot on a mission to reclaim rainbow Mecca from the "chuds".
>>733095719Some will say it was 2001, others 2008 and 2012.I will say the latter is the cutoff considering all the culture war bullshit sprung out around the end of that year and 2013 is when it started going in full motion. 2016 is when everything was set in stone so it's funny seeing zoomers claim it was some sort of golden age.
>>733101301It's not so much for me or him, but for anyone who's just lurking silently. A good portion of the people here probably don't know what's going on, and knowing the history of GGate is important.
>>733095719Clair Obscur
Why are so many young children obsessed with 2016? Didn't everyone say it was a bad year? Now we're being told to like it? What's going on?
>>733098227I started playing it again because the dlc but I refuse to pay the price and im probably having equal fun as if I got the dlc. Never played assassin much so im gonna do druid and assassin run
>>733099117I bet you voted Kamala
>>733095719>no trannies, no wokeslop, sexy women in games, everyone preparing for the trumpreichgood times, probably bioshock infinite
>>733101505it's fucking wild that you intentionally got the exact opposite of what the email said to try making some retarded point in some imaginary culture war on 4chan lol
>>733101457Obongo era divershitty shilling was the worst. The games were horrible, politics were horrible, it was shit. Games never recovered but at least the DEI shit is on the way out.
>>733095719Zoomers romanticizing 2016 proves that there is just a point in your childhood where you are happy no matter what. Granted a lot of kids movies came out in 2016 and kids had unlimited access to all content from before that point in time because of netflix AND the economy wasnt in the trash but most people remember thinking 2016 was a pretty shit year, myself included. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wTXRMBoc4Qs here's a video of what someone thought of 2016 at the end of 2016
>>733101561There was still some degree of normalcy during these years, Trump's first term was sorta chill and it all started going to shit by 2020, the entire economy is shifting to a dark place and if you're both a pol and biz schizo you know this is gonna be a bad year since we're about to enter a major recession.I think the mayans were right though that 2012 was the end of the world, it's just still ending and it's taking a while.
>>733096325most obvious bait ever, yet its getting lapped up. I for one give you a B-
>>733095719>2016>Good
>>733100930entirely beside the point
>>733101709already said in another thread today that the Epstein files are literacy test and it's astounding how many fail it
>>733101375I think the last time I was actually happy and excited about new stuff was during 2012. I was 9 at that time btw.
>>733101836It's responding to the most obvious newfag so it's par for the course.
>>733101958which was?
>>733096079>Can't talk about certain series anymore without relentless shitposting or outright spam smothering it>The nintendo vs other company shitposting went from a funny, but sporadic thing to an endless pile of bullshit>those random anime threads with full civil discussion without someone screaming about "tranime">lewd topics went from the odd thing where people would occasionaly post fap fap fap in a mostly joking manner (even if actually fapping) to retardation like that plap bullshit clearly being done by utter assfaggots or retards who make sex their entire personality>normalfags everywhere talking about their girlfriends, wifes, buttbuddies, whatever>fixations on fucking politics or trying to force messages in games (mix of 4chan retardation and actual retards in the industry now, to be fair)I miss 4chan prior to 2012. It wasn't very good even by then, but for the love of god the difference between then and now is so night and day compared to even 2012 and 2008.
>>733096079>>"Like, what even if is a normalfag? You can't define it, define it IMMEDIATELY!"To be fair people have been arguing about what the fuck a normalfag even was way back in the mid 2000s too.
>>733095719Why are people acting like 2016 was great and perfect again?
>>733102250the guy I responded to was implying that pol would provide no benefit to Epstein and his ilk and my post was explaining that that notion was entirely untrue
>>7330957192010 was the last good year
>>733102475oh I was talking about something else my bad. I was the one bringing up the gamergate stuff.
>>733102460because redditors needed some engagement bait related to the american election for their painfully obvious historical revisionism thread
>>733102492did you even read the email you're yapping about you utterly incoherent mongoloid
>>733096079I've been here since 2005/6 and it's just as dogshit as it always was. 4chan was always shit. Even back then I abandoned it for 7chan for a while just due to how garbage all the posts were.
>>733102549Nah 2012 was was the last good year. 2013 is when things became totally unsalvageable
>>733102492you've got a jp learning gen on /jp/ and another one on /int/. lurk more make less retarded posts about shit you know nothing about.
>>733098871you are a fucking retard and should up on this website's history and what is actually written in the files you massive cum guzzling tourist
Nothing, you can't go back.
>>733102835>>>/pol/
>>733099514>>this is somehow in epstein/mossad's interest, but i can't explain why because it doesn't make any sense even by any mental gymnasticsIt actually makes sense when you factor in Greater Israel expansion. Basically the idea is to get so many normal Jews scared to live in what ever country they are in currently in thanks to the rise of Anti Semitism, so that the only place they can feel safe is Israel and with the over whelping support of those who'd want to stop anti semitism and ensure the jews are able to find peace, they can then use that justification for more and more Israeli expansion and Grift the rest of the world even harder as being the most needed underdeveloped developed nation.
>>733102961It actually makes sense if you're behind 7 layers of mental retardation*
>>733100828Once again, pol culture predated the board itself, they were aware of the distractions set upon OWS and we never stopped trying to expose those who were at the top, the media just made us look like schizos and censored any attempts, what do you think pizzagate was? And don't bullshit me that it was all schizo bullshit because not even normalfags believe that now. You also talk like the democrats weren't all in on Israel or other jewish interests too, they just did it "quietly" and with less MSM attention, Kamala would've done the exact same shit and the current palestinian genocide would've been completely ignored just like it was the previous times. If you call opposing jewish subversion such as tranny and DEI shit being part of the culture war then kys because these things have actively made things worse.
>>733102912You may have ruined this site but it will never be yours
>>733098091Old /pol/ sure. Post 2016 pol is normalfag central they may as well be facebook boomers
>>733102961They knew exactly what they were doing by releasing the files, they want to be hated so they have an excuse to go all out.If there is antisemitism it's because it's a natural reaction to their atrocities and general beliefs, not because it was undeserved.
>>733103397I agree but I'd set the cutoff point around 2020 when it became unusable from all the glowie astroturfing.
>>733103270whenever they make that argument they always pull the same bullshit. "That's a distraction", or ", we can deal with that later". It's always the same hand wave of your concerns and calling you to throw down your arms and join them. You get to recognizing the Alinsky's rules every time. they really will not rest until video games are all the last of us slop or your old favorites turned into the new god of war transformations.
>>733101430>you can really get these kids into politics through this gamergate stuffdamn i guess he was right
>>733103270>pol culture predated the board itselfand led to /new/ being shut down and no more political/news boards being set up until right after Epstein was made aware of moot>You also talk like the democrats weren't all in on IsraelI never said that>If you call opposing jewish subversion such as tranny and DEI shit being part of the culture war then kysthey very much are. It's shit that has no impact at all on the elites and gets other people mad on both sides
>>733097987only leftards thought that
>>733103769He was right in bleeding different industries into each other is effective Yes, however those industry issues were not limited to what Epstein wanted. they were an issue before he was born. hence why I mentioned the Long March through the institutions that started in the '60s. You can't just hand wave something because a single interested party found use in it. Just like corporations, single concepts can be used in multiple vectors.
>>733097987Common among retards maybe. Common among child molesting redditors definitely
>>733103771just lmao.
>>733100774Jesus Christ...And they can't see that they are the normalfags. Yuck!
>>733096079Yeah zoomer newfag election tourists can't call people "zoomer newfag election tourists" so they blame indians (previously Russians, previously trannies, previously chinese, previously 'Eurasian Tiger') for the state of 4chan
>So then I told them, "We're not on the same side, that's just a conspiracy theory" and they actually fucking fell for it LMAO
>>733103891calling video game review websites "institutions" is the funniest fucking shit. really shows how childish people like you are
>>733095719Mega Man X~X4Final Fantasy IV~XTales of Symphonia/AbyssGolden Sun
>>733103984newfags are too afraid to say fag so they have to invent inoffensive kindergarten grade insults like tourists and chuds
>>733100541Vidya journalism has always been bottom of the barrel journalism. It has always been since 80s in the industry pockets. Especially when Sony and Microsoft entered the market but even before that.I have no idea why some random bitch sleeping with a journo started a whole campaign.
>>733103068Think about it anon, it wasn't until like 2016 where everyone began having problems with the Jewish to the point it was becoming an actual political discourse again. This site for the most part give a shit about the jews until tail end of Gamergate/beginning of Trump 2016. As most people stated, /pol/ was irrelevant as fuck, until 2016 when they just began quietly annexing boards (this board being the most prominent example) by dragging in everything to be over-politicized and about the culture war, and it's only ramped up more and more ever since. Hell, as one guy, >>733096296even pointed out. We found out last year that virtually all of the janinnes of this site our tied to firms in some intellegence collusion scheme to social engineer online discourse. All that and you can't even consider the possibility that maybe the internet, this site in particular is being steered and molded into the hellhole it is now?
>>733095719This is either genius bait or a genuine post by a zoomer, and I'm annoyed that I can't tell the difference.
>>733104142>I have no idea why some random bitch sleeping with a journo started a whole campaign.The entire thing was astroturf to fuck with gullible nerds who don't know any better because they spend all of their time playing video games and posting on video game forums.
>>733104089first of all it's not just websites, they are actual journalism outlets. It's a legitimate interest, and the fact that you hand wave it as child is proves you don't belong here, you may not even like video games. reporting and sharing information about digital entertainment is no different than any other form of entertainment, like movies or radio. I'm actually legitimately sickened that you would come to this board and just shit on video games like that. fuck yourself with a Israeli nuclear missile.
>>733103441>They knew exactly what they were doing by releasing the files, they want to be hated so they have an excuse to go all out.That's essentially the point the post is making. Manufacturing outrage and hate to have justification to go even further.
>>733104180No, it wasn't. The word kike was one of the original power words. Dunno why you're even trying to force a narrative when you barely know english.
>>733104180Looks like you triggered one instantly.Also the whole Epstein-Moot thing. Its kinda sad, Epstein worked for IDF after all.
>>733103953damn, you convinced me
the 2020s fucking suck
>>733104290>ign and kotaku are actual journalism outletsAHAHAHAHAHAHAHATHEY ARE LITERALLY AD SPACE FOR TOY COMPANIES LMAOOOO
>>733104456Did you forget to write a sentence in your previous post or are you just that incoherent.
>>733104518what are you doing on this board if you think video games are such a worthless child's toy? what did you think of tech TV? people want to talk and learn more about things they have an interest in. The fact that you clearly don't feel the same means you should probably go to a different board. Maybe /co/ is more your style.
>>733104316Yeah, "manufacturing" hate, of course nigger, like it wasn't absolutely warranted.
>>733104643I never said video games are worthless. Video games are fun, I like video games and enjoy playing them. That doesn't mean i'm a delusional retard who thinks that the world revolves around video games. >people want to talk and learn more about things they have an interest in.I do that by looking up developer interviews and obscure games, as well as independent channels that I know have similar taste to me. Video game "journalism" has always just been ad space, and if you took any of it seriously after the age of 13 then you're just a retard.
>>733104756What one of the most repeated mantras of /pol/ is literally "Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you". That's literally what that is, how are you having issue with that?
>>733104946It seems very opinionated on this, but I'm going to have to disagree. The journalism isn't some kind of reporting on African economic issues or something, it's for entertainment yes. That's part of the fun. maybe you're not old enough, but back when tech TV existed people watched gaming journalism for entertainment and shared interests. then we talked about it on internet forums, like Hongfire. I guess you missed the Golden age.
I remember a lot of people saying 2016 was the worst year ever at the time, and this was before trump even got elected. Can anyone help to recall the bad old days?
>>733103771>No impact>50% of the people coerced into transitioning kill themselves>DEI hiring killed the quality of all kinds of products and is actively costing billions to american companies>Migration acceptance is destroying Europe and the rest of the civilized world>shit that has no impact at allBullshit, kill yourself.
>>733097382Yeah, the one-two punch of the Fappening and Gamergate was the beginning of the end
>>733095719Pokemon Platinum, the music alone makes me feel incredibly nostalgic.
>>733105094he's gaslighting you. Rainbow capitalism absolutely fucked the video game industry up.
>>733095719>LIFE WAS GREAT 10 YEARS AGO!!Yeah, that’s because 10 years ago, you were still young and had less responsibility
>>733105031it's a self-contained sentence. he punches you and cries out in pain. your reaction to the punch is irrelevent. he'll cry regardless of what you do.
>>733096079the election tourists took over that's literally just common knowledge. the site got sold off to someone who doesn't care and the people moderation was delegated to love /v/ - politics and raiding
>>733105073>tech TV existed people watched gaming journalism for entertainment and shared interests.No, retarded children did. Actual enthusiasts were writing autistic obscure blogs and arguing on message boards while reading things written by actual developers. It was always known that these outlets get paid to review things, only naive kids didn't know that. That one fucking god hand party babiez image would get spammed on /v/ all the goddamn time.
I doubt Americans will do much wven when all names come out in Epstein files. It would collapse the system and hurt "their side" too much, on top of hurting rich people.Muricans will just wipe it under the rug and pretend nothing happened. Its safer that way, and Americans can still say they are the best country in the world while falling back to "democrat vs republican" shit. Billionares will prob put up another child rape and torture ring after a year because why not. They will just say "if you stop us, the system will collapse" and muricans fall in line. Because change bad. And if poor do better, that's socialism while giving tax cuts to the rich is freedom.Fucked up shit.
>>733105094the fact that you're probably under like 24 and genuinely believe this shit is pretty depressing
>>733105354kill yourself, not even normalfags on the streets fall for your bullshit anymore
>>733105094no impact at all ON THE ELITESdid your brain shut down midway through reading the sentence?
>>733098091/pol/ was a literal Jewish psyop designed as controlled opposition. You retards literally voted for the funny pedo trafficker’s bestie to become president and give MORE money to Israel
>>733105401why the fuck would i care what normies think? normies have been tricked into getting assfucked by "brown man is after your shit" for as long as humanity has been around. if you allow fear of the other to dictate your politics you are literal cattle to be farmed and slaughtered by people who know how to accumulate power.
>>733105432Except it would have an impact if we stopped their shit, glownigger, the fall of America and Europe is something they have been planning for centuries and all this shit goes all the way back to the first world war.
>>733105282Man just let yourself enjoy things for what they are, you don't have to sit on the boardroom meetings of a bunch of greedy C-Suite executives trying to figure out marketing schemes. X-Play was just fun to watch, thats all. Cinematech was just fun to watch. That's all. Reading Play magazine or EGM was just fun. Thats all.
>>733095719Its never going to happen again.
>>733101505real funny this got deleted but not the gayop "jews totally love japan goy" posts
>>7331055615 minutes ago you said that they were important institutions and now you're saying they're just for fun. which is it?
>>733105432Some people refuse to criticize the rich, because that would make them have to examine Capitalism as a whole.Better to blame anything else. Chasing infinite economic growth and power must be the only system. "We just need to regulate it without making the rich mad"
>>733095719>”man having lung cancer sure sucks I miss the old days when I first started smoking a pack a day things were so much simpler”
>>733102761This anon get its. Saw this happening first hand in a game series I love and no one else took it seriously. And then its spread to every site in the interweb.
>>733104946>Video game "journalism" has always just been ad space, and if you took any of it seriously after the age of 13 then you're just a retard.You're right about that. But you missing the real problem Gamergate was opposing. It wasn't Journalism itself. It was more precisely, Journalists who began conspiring to uphold certain biases on games and game companies so they could have control over what was wasn't allowed in the space. One bad review and 4 good review, means nothing. Neither does 3 bad or 2 good, people can still find fun in that game. But when you have literally all of the reviewers parroting the same thing, like the "game is bad" and it turns out it wasn't actually none of them played it. That's a problem, it's basically why games have become the homogenized medium it's become to day.Gamergate was a big deal in that regard. Is that you had a bunch of fags, by essentially speaking for you, telling game companies what you want play and what you think is good, with out you yourself actually even being part of the conversation.
>>733096356I am a "real oldfag", but you don't believe me, because I matured out of posting 20 year old memes, and acting like myself as a teenager.
>>733096615Yes, its not gonna stop either. all the oldfags who know things are getting worse are overshadowed by normies who think paying for yearly releases + a fee to access your own internet + mtx is normal and expected. not to mention all the retards who just want to go back to saying faggot and retard or for youtubers to stop saying "unalived" and shit
>>733105729what's funny is that any outrage over reviewers would become totally irrelevant in a few years anyway because the space was democratized by social media anyway. who the fuck cares if IGN's reviewer is tim schafer's personal friend or whatever just get a better review
>>733103771/new/ wasn't killed because of /pol/ culture. /new/ was killed because it was supposed to be a news aggregator and spiraled out of scope due to the imageboard format allowing old news to constantly stagnate newer news by people who missed them when they were new news visiting the board and endlessly discussing horses that were already beaten to death. That the discussion that overshadowed news happened to mimic future /pol/ is simply due to the fact that 4chan discussions have always been formatted in a heated and offensive way. /pol/ was never intended as a successor to /new/. Moot just noticed that the userbase of the site was more interested in having a current happenings /b/ than a news aggregator.
>>733096718this is only true because the world HAS been getting progressively worse and it's only gonna get even worse. Pic related is NASDAQ essentially showing inflation over time.
>>733097632I lowkey don't really care that rich people were hiring prostitutes on an island (they obviously weren't actually killing or eating anyone).On the other hand, I hate these people anyway, for what they have done to the world, and I like shoving it back in their faces when they get caught with their pants down.
>>733096079>newfagsThis place barely gets any new blood nigga. I bet the average poster is late 20's to early 30'sThere are some of course, specially some weirdos trying to Discord raid or make it about american politics sometimes but they are so easy to notice that you can just ignore them
>>733105729>the spaceWtf even is "the space"? Retards who take game reviews seriously?> the homogenized medium it's become to day.There's such an insane amount of games coming out nowadays, you've got to be fucking kidding me, that's total horseshit.
>>733105643we've always criticized the rich for pushing those agendas faggot, they just happen to be all jews working for Blackrock.
>>733099215>troons are schizophrenic for believing the same shit /pol/ has been screaming about for nearly a decadeHow did we get to the point where “neo-nazi” and “Israeli bootlicker” became synonymous
>>733105350imagine how much of a lesser shithole your third world favela would be if your shitskin genetics didn't predispose you to worrying about your american gods and you'd channel your performative outrage at your own politicians who no doubt have their own lists
>>733105432...except for all the money they lost and all the conspiracies that were proven right.
>>733099514People don't know that /new/ was literally already a thing, and had continued to exist off-site, even after moot got rid of the original board.If there is a psy-op it's that moot and his partners wanted those people back under their wing, so they could surveil them.
>>733105552>we'll stop them by dancing to their tuneok
>>733106036>retarded phonenigger can't readTale as old as about a decade.
>>733106167>just allow your countries to continue to be filled with the third world bro nothing's gonna happenkill yourself
>>733105957"the space" is video games. Journalists hold sway over what sells, and therefore they hold sway over what gets made. This does matter. Or it did before Influencers became the new journalists.
