>gaming really was better in the 90s and early 2000sThe fucking boomers were rightr
>>740250604Feels good knowing I got to experience ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3otKIBNqciw
>>740250604At least there's indies.... But what didn't you find it odd how even people that have no nostalgia for them are all playing remasters and remakes, where it's practically half of large publishers output?
Why does 2010+ feel so soulless?
>>740250604
>>740250604>the table fucking scenewhat the fuck were they thinking
>>740250604Reminder this girl created a nuke that doesn't use nuclear power but still does genocide levels of damage
>>740250842The paradigm of copyright and large publishers aims to erase culture and make publishers generally non-productive while killing off their creatives.This has always been the case.Occasionally large publishers en masse will be given an agenda, such as in the early 20th century when they were told to promote communism and avoid publishing criticism of it, but without an agenda and outside funding they will trend towards rehashing whatever they have a monopoly on.
>>740250604only feels that way because you were a kid back then. in 20 years when all the alphies grow up we're going to see non-stop threads on how the 2020s were the golden age of gaming.
the table
>>740251384what anime?
>>740251789I AM THE TABLE
>>740251984I AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
>>740250604Yeap. Just a lot more variety of games back then that all did different stuff and experiments. Everything now just feels like a copy of something.
>>740251939Boku no Jibun Wo
>guiz older games were better!!!!>99% of the thousands of old games are never mentioned and boomers mostly talk about a few dozen games
IT WAS A DESK YOU RETARDS
>>740250604JIBUN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>740251057The population finally grew beyond what the simulation can handle, causing widespread erratic behavior to get increasingly common
>>740250604Why are there so many Gen vs Gen threads lately? What kind of faggoty astroturfing is this?
>>740251939You're underage
>>740250604Yeah, so was anime, food, music, and literally everything else.
>>740251057Obama years
>>740252165okay, now make the plane 400 times larger with 400 times the bullet holes and the unhit sections 400 times smaller.
>>740250604actually gaming is better now since you can play all of the good games. whereas in 1999 for example you couldn't play games from 2004.
>>740251057The mayans were right
>>740250604What happened to games and anime? Is it just greed and trying to appeal to too many at once or something else. Old Anime had so much more soul
>>740252365based and unc'd tf out
>>740252279A desk is a type of table, Captain Pedantic
>>740251057Over time people get better and better at things. New techniques are discovered to make things more efficient. Sounds good if you only think about the little guys.But every day rich and powerful people are getting a little bit better at keeping the masses complacent with a little bit less than they had yesterday.
>>740251384They were thinking >Let's create a deranged lesbian who is super obsessed about the princess that she develops nukes when she dies.
>>740250604I know this is just to bait replies, but zooms seem to unironically be waking up on this shit
>>740251057Liquid capital from the 2008 bailouts had to go somewhere, why not invest heavily into flailing media publishers that are running into financial difficulties for some inexplicable reason?Gee I wonder why Bank of America is telling people to buy GTA IV and buy games for 80$?
>>740252517Some resident /pol/tard would say that it's jews putting goys against each other to distract them from themselves. But I can say that people don't need outside help to be retarded and fight each other over some superficial bullshit.
>>740250604Boomers are always right because whey were born in hard times and that made them a strong people. And they create good times for millennials which made them weak and patheticBoomers are the best generation alive
>>740252517Got to keep people at each other's throats perpetually otherwise we get more nooooticing
>>740250604All of those games are available now to play and more accessible than ever. But they’re not “culturally relevant” anymore.
>>740251778You're retarded cattle with zero real counterarguments to unmistakable decline everyone knows the reasons for.
>>740252675The anime industry had a lot more investment in it back in the day, so they could pay studio animators more. You can still get that kind of high quality if you pay for it (or get a discount like OPM season 1), but just like with the video game industry (((executives))) don't want to make risky gambles anymore.
>>740252836>But I can say that people don't need outside help to be retardedThis isnt mutually exclusive to the /pol/tard being right about said retardation being helped along. Theyre called "useful idiots".
>>740251384How to make kino.
>>740252852anon the boomer meme doesn't mean actual baby baby boomers
>>740251057I say 2010 is last of the old world maybe 2011. But 2012 is really the starting point of the downfall
>>740251057SmartphonesIt's literally entirely due to smartphones, humanity was not meant to constantly be scrutinized by itself daily in every facet of life
>>740252165>The Nintendo Entertainment System has a library of 1370[a] officially licensed games released during their lifespans, plus 7 official multicarts and 2 championship cartridges. Of these, 672 were released exclusively in Japan, 187 were released exclusively in North America, and 19 were released exclusively in PAL countries. Worldwide, 521 games were released. >The Super Nintendo Entertainment System has a library of 1,749 official releases, of which 717 were released in North America>The Sega Genesis supports a library of 880[a] officially licensed games created both by Sega and a wide array of third-party publishers >There are 3,186 video games on PlayStation>The GameCube is Nintendo's fourth home video game console. There are 651[a] games on this list. >The Xbox is Microsoft's first home video game console, released during the sixth generation of video games. There are a total of 989[a] titles on this list.>There are 3,495 video games on PlayStation 2. etc, etc.
>>740252852>boomers>born in hard times
>>740252856That's exactly WHY we're noticing what made media worse, retard.
>>740250604Yeah man, video games are getting into the>Movies were better in the 60s and 70sera
>>740252929>The anime industry had a lot more investment in it back in the dayNah, its that they are churning out way more shit while operating on the same budget as before. Theres like 2 to 3 times the anime per season than it was 30 years ago
>>740251057The antichrist is lurking. The mayans were right too.
>>740252053>all 7 of my solo game inspirations are on this image Damn am I a hipster
>>740252992>humanity was not meant to constantly be scrutinized by itself daily in every facet of lifeYea. Its basically information overload which tweaks people out. And we are being bombarded with the worst of humanity at all times. Basically it exposed us to how ugly and weak we all truly are and how much the people at the top are legitimately fucking evil, which we cant realistically do anything about because modern convenience has pacified the masses
>>740252929technology wasn't as advanced so everything was made manually. modern moeslop all looks the same unless the source material is has a distinct style to follow
>>740251057Definitely due to the great recession. Nothing has recovered since, only fallen
>>740253001What was the point of your post
>>740253004>we'reNo, thats why YOU and enthusiasts like you notice. The average faggot doesnt notice shit until much later on. Its exactly how normalfags are just now being like "hey wait a minute... AAA games are fucking dogshit now!". Meanwhile anyone that extensively played games could have told you this a decade ago and predicted the trend. There is information lag for non-enthusiasts, who also happen to be the majority and who the people in power target
>>740253053You're both a bit retarded. The economy is fake and gay, they don't even need to sell the games. You bought them already with your taxes and indirect taxation via inflation. Not a single one of these publishers that lost billions are closing and they won't because it doesn't matter. It keeps enough money moving around for the parasites to skim while turning everything into a vehicle for their propaganda.
>>740253294more games released in two months than the entire lifetime of some consolesalso missed opportunity for no ps3 games
>>740251057Normies are being targeted and assaulted by evil forces on a daily basis and with the advent of smartphones, they are now being assailed 24/7 and it never ends
>>740253315that's not "information lag," that's "huh, i guess I just don't enjoy video games anymore." then watching their kids play shit like overwatch going "wow i guess i grew up"
>>740253315>Meanwhile anyone that extensively played games could have told you this a decade ago and predicted the trendNah, you're an idiot. There was a lot of garbage being made, but up until 2020 we still had a lot of fantastic big name games coming out. You sound like the kind of poster who calls everything slop despite not actually playing games and pretending your opinions matter.
>>740253393I wasn't even commenting on games. I didn't feel the need to point out something obvious that /v/ of all boards should already be aware of.
>>740250604There are tons of good game out but now you're acting like your parents now and constantly going how things were better back then when it's not. You're just growing old, that's all.
>>740252675games were a young medium. just like your physical youth you can't get that back. the frontiers of discovery were open and the level of graphical fidelity was in tune with reasonable creative project size and manhours.
>>740253598Name one
>>740253598not really. compare morrowind to dragon age veilguard LOL for example
>>740253315see? already we got one of those "you grew up" faggots.
>>740250604It's crazy how simply not filling companies with worthless parasite employees allows the companies to make good products.
>>740253393We're talking about anime retard
>>740253598Name one so I can laugh at what a shameless cumsoomer you are.
>>740253394That doesn't change the point most old games are not talked about
>>740250604The shit controllers and outdated mechanics make it hard for me to go back to most 90s games, but the 2000s are golden.
>>740253003>pedo joe meme>tranny posterEvery single time
>>740253780you tried to cite survivorship bias (incorrectly at that) to claim video games were always like they are right now. You were proven wrong. have a nice day.
>>740253495>There was a lot of garbage being made, but up until 2020 we still had a lot of fantastic big name games coming out.Such as?>You sound like the kind of poster who calls everything slop despite not actually playing games and pretending your opinions matter.I play games all the time. AAA games have been dogshit for fucking ages now. You are mentioning 2020 because you are a zoomer and 2020 was your 9/11. The vast bulk of AAA games of the 2010s were fucking shit. Dont try to tell me otherwise, I saw my childhood get raped infront of me that decade. You are the type of cunt that tries to say shit like "mass effect 3 wasnt that bad guise". It was.
>>740253004Then why do you keep buying their games?
>>740253815I didn't realize that not pretending that boomers weren't born in the most prosperous time in human history was a trans thing
>>740253494>"huh, i guess I just don't enjoy video games anymore."But I do. Just not souless AAA slop. ANd by the recent flops, most others dont either.
>>740253923>tfw Killzone 2 came out one year before the enshitteningClose call because the third game sucked major ass aside from the improvements to multiplayer progression.
>>740251057A lot of people be always online and corpos getting a lot bolder with their shit. Throw in AI racking up energy bills/water waste and people not being able to afford shit as time goes on and the world just sucks even more with each passing year.
>>740253001>The Wii is Nintendo's fifth home video game console. There are 1612[b] games on this list. its kinda crazy how much shit nintendo got for shovelware when that's still less than half the number of psx/ps2 games.
>>740250604Everything was better in the 90s and early 2000s.
>>740254010anon why do you think that isn't a false dichotomy and/or strawman?
>>740251398And was then still amazed that it was used to kill people.
>>740253884You got poor reading comprehension, i said most old games aren't talked about you only talk about a few dozen games from that era. So that means most games of that era sucks and you cherrypick a few
>>740252365Came here to post this.
>>740254187>I created a weapon of mass destruction and it killed a whole lot of people, how could this be happening to me???
>>740254198yes anon, we only played like a dozen games during the second, third, fourth, fifth console generations. ya nailed it.
>>740251057Smartphones and social media homogenized everything. It's just one big corporate slop culture now, fads are just "trends", the zeitgeist only moves at the speed of the algorithm. Everything is on an algorithm. They even call it a "feed" like it's for livestock, the language is not accidental. Subcultures are now "fandoms" or "communities" and they're just subordinate to the corposlop culture because they can only exist on those platforms, like every "niche" "community" has the exact same discord with the exact same off topic channel with the exact same memes and the same type of person postingIt's an enclosure movement for culture basically. Nothing can just exist anymore, it all has to fit in one corporate box or another so it can be measured and commodified and influenced for profitNotice how the word "community" is the corporate term of choice too, that their digital silos have become the stand-in for "community" in our lives, but how many people refer to the place they actually live and their neighbors as their "community"? This kind of alienation is very profitable, the online "communities" act as a black hole for attention and money that leads right into their pockets.4chan is practically the only remaining online platform that does not have some kind of algorithm or built-in safe-space mechanic that puts you into a curated "community" bubble, which is astounding. The ocean of piss is now preferable to the rest of the internet which is an ocean of shit.
As long as the decline is gradual enough people with low IQ will never notice it happening. I genuinely believe as long as no sudden jumps in quality are taken people can be convinced that literally shoving their face into a pile of shit is of the same level of quality as how they've always entertained themselves and will fiercely defend it.
>>740254442Even broke niggers have standards at the rock bottom, which is why they want to flood every country with jeets whose rock bottom goes several strata lower than ours.
>>740252852>boomers>hard timesThey literally grew up in a massive economic boom with zero upward mobility barriers because the gen before them (the greatest generation) were half wiped out. They then proceeded to ruin the economy to the point of where we are now.>b-but millenials-The people that are hiring the blue hair twitter cunts (aka NOT the majority of millenials) are boomers. The people making the retarded decisions to fuck over your favorite franchises are boomers.>b-butBoomers hold 80% of the wealth and still have majority voting power. Every fucking problem we have today is in fault of Baby Boomers, because they are to this day still in control of policy and wealth. You literally cant argue against this.>BUT UM, PARTICIPATION TROPHIES-Most millenials thought they were gay. And who was handing it out? Oh, Boomers again.>UM B-BUT... MY YOUTUBE PERSONALITY TOLD ME-Your gripe is with Joss Wedon, a Boomer/Gen X. If we are using the cunts on twitter as representing an entire gen, then you should be also bitching about """"Zoomer writing"""" since there are zoomer danger hairs in the industry right now, and have been for years now.
>>740253053The Japanese economy is in absolute shambles compared to the boom times. They are almost certainly not doing that out of greed but economic necessity because the other option is just going out of business completely.
>>740253923>Such as?Off the top of my head for big name/studio/budget games in the decade leading up to 2020 that I myself played and liked, there was Dragon's Dogma, Dark Souls, Xenoblade, nuDeus Ex, Portal 2, Dead Space 2, Bloodborne, MGSV, KCD, BotW, Automata, DMC5, RE2R, and Sekiro.>because you are a zoomer I was born in 1990 and no amount of you being an angry retard will change that.>You are the type of cunt that tries to say shit like "mass effect 3 wasnt that bad guise". It was.No, I'm the type to say Bioware games are all shit because they've always been shit, including the infinity engine games where they helped turn cRPGs and RPGs in general into shitty dating sims.
>>740250604Look on the bright side, the games still exist, sure you dont get the novelty of the past nor the cultural zeitgeist, but you get to experience the most important part, the actual game.
>>740254603no, its still greed, and the other option isn't just going out of business, its total global economic collapse.
>>740254171Because it isnt? I enjoy games. I used to enjoy AAA games because they were cool and usually decently made. I dont any more because they arent fun and are overinflated slop. You have zero argument against this. I didnt """""""grow up"""""""". You dont """"""""""grow up""""""""""" out of a fucking hobby you are enthusiastic about.
>>740254527Millennial soiboi is seething because if based boomersBased and tradYou only prove me right
>>740254698how long has "AAA" been shit?
>>740254676Half of those games were alright, the other were kind of shit. And they are a drop in the bucket to the number of dogshit AAA titles released that decade. That is the point.
>>740254517You've got a point. Maybe midwits can be brainwashed more effectively than the lowest IQ retards who default back to natural urges.
>>740253926I literally don't, moron.
>>740254710>Shartyfaggot mad as fuck because he got shit on and exposed for being a good goy that laps up the ballsweat of boomers that happily ruined your futurelol
Fuck all elevens btw.
>>740251939Spinzaku Gaiden.
>>740254893But literally ofc.
>>740254801>Half of those games were alright, the other were kind of shit.Please tell me which AAA games you like so I can laugh. You can start by pretending Dragon Age and Mass Effect weren't always shit.>That is the point.Most games have always been shit. The problem now (post 2020) is that almost no big budget games are good. The 2010s still had plenty of great games, especially if you look at slightly lower budget games and not just AAA 100 million+ budgets.
>>740254786Its started going downhill in the early 2010s, maybe even somewhat in late 00s. It coincides with normalfags going into gaming en masse, prompting execs to go after broad normalfag appeal rather than cater to the people that got them there.
>>740254676>>because you are a zoomer >I was born in 199084 here, you are not a millennial, you're a zoomer. the generation was erroneously defined thinking going from 19xx to 20xx would represent a massive cultural shift. the massive culture shift was actually years later, in 2007, when the internet was officially mainstream and marching towards ubiquity. Since you were born in 1990, you don't know a world without computers in every home and broadband.
>>740250604There were a lot of shitty games back then too. The vibe was less gay and retarded but there was plenty of retarded to still go around.
>>740254978>Most games have always been shit. The problem now (post 2020) is that almost no big budget games are good......So exactly what Im fuckign saying? The number of good high budget AAA games has gone down over time.
>>740255001incorrect. This is when it started going downhill. This was the turning point where video games would no longer be for people who liked video games.
>>740251939Code Geass. The girl in question is also objectively worst girl.
>>740251057>2010+The cutoff is 2006. I'm tired of zoomers telling me things started getting bad in "2012". No, you just became cognisant in the 10s. There was a little bit of trickle down after 2006 as things already in the pipeline prior to that finished production, but in general, the world ended in 2006.
>>740254956Kill as many it takes in real life for more of this.
>>740254786I think the PS2 was the last console where you could trust AAA titles to be more enjoyable than shovelware. After that, AAA and shovelware studios became basically indistinguishable.
>>740254956y does her head look like an apple and a shovel. she got a head like lil wayne crap abbple

>>740250828Imagine nowadays a game engine rocking a great game incl a banger ost
>>740255097People say 2012 was the last good year because it was the last year of the 13th baktun of the Mayan calendar, which was supposed to be the last baktun of the "great cycle" which began in 3114 BC. So December 21st, 2012 was the first time in over 5,000 years we switched to a new plane of existence. And the Mayans were absolutely right. Obama's first term was the last time there was genuine hope and optimism.
>>740255125No idea what you are trying to say.
>>7402550121990 is a quintessential millennial year. They were already in middle school during 9/11.
>>740255240>ObamaThis is what I'm talking about, you are too young to understand.
>>740250604well, yeah. you think we were just talking out our asses because of nostalgia?
>>740254314Still poor reading comprehension skills
>>740255097The second season came out in 2008, and it was great. Also I think Spice and Wolf came out the same year. You're objectively wrong.
>>740253003What's that? Over.
>>740250604Yeah, and now I can emulate old japshit undubbed, in higher fps, for free
>>740255323>11 during 9/111990 is the beginning of generation z, as they will not know a pre-9/11 world. people born after 1990 have absolutely no shared experience with people born before. they are different generations.
>>740255367>if you call bullshit on my claims then you don't comprehend themyou're are posting inane twaddle and being mocked for it.
>>740250604>gaming really was better in the 90s and early 2000severything was better in the 90s and early 2000s
>>740255097Young millennials are also nostalgic for the early 2010s as that was when they were in college playing Mortal Kombat 9 and watching Spring Breakers.
>>740252929>anime industry had a lot more investmentno it didn'tit just had people that loved to drawnow it's just dominated by managers that love to make money
>>740255497>if you call bullshit on my claimslol your claims arent what I said, your reading comprehension makes you see words that arent there Again 99% of 90s games are forgotten and you can only see the good and not the bad
>>740255062>So exactly what Im fuckign saying?No, you fucking monkey. There were plenty of shit games in the 90s, but the AAA moniker didn't exist until the late 90s when games like FF7 started getting hyper inflated marketing budgets, and in the decades that followed there were still lots of great big budget games from big name studios. The 2020s are more than half way over, and I can count on 1 hand the number of big budget games I enjoyed. That's a lot fucking different than 2010-2019. Now list the AAA games you think are good. At this point it seems like you're an Xbaby and know you're going to get made fun of for pretending Halo, ME and Gears were good.
>>740255436People born in 1990 are literal 90s kids who had Nintendo 64s.
>>740255625Check the names in endings in 2000s and 2020s.
>>740255436You're off by seven years
>>740255012>the actual definition is wrong and I am correct because of my headcanonQuintessentially reddit post.
>>740255675>video games were better in the 90s and 00s>nuh uh ur jus cherrypickan>no, we aren't, you're a moron
>>740252517An excuse for unfulfilled retards to use something they have no control over to feel superior because it’s all they have. And humans are tribalistic to a retarded degree at a genetic level.
>>740255436>1990 is the beginning of generation z, as they will not know a pre-9/11 world.Are you so dumb that you didn't start forming memories until you were 11? That would explain a lot.
>>740255769No, I'm not. The "millennial" generation is split directly in half due to there being zero commonality of experience for people born before 1990 and people born after. "generation z" started in 1990, because 1990 was the last year anyone would know a world without internet, before 9/11, etc. as you don't really start forming ideas about the world until you're about 11.
>>740255012Every fucking retard on this website has their own millenial and zoomer definition, lmfao.
I would struggle to name 20 nes games I would ever want to play again. The ones I could name would be very good, mind you, but like 20 out of the thousand or so nes games is pretty weak.Still beats modern gaming where I would be hard pressed to name 20 games made since the ps4 came out that are worth playing again.
>>740255782>its headcanon to point out people born after 1990, who'd see planes crash into skycrapers at 11, are extremely different from people born before 1990
>>740255914It works like this. "zoomer" begins the millisecond after I was born, but I'm not millenial either though because they're onions. Also every young person is Gen Z still because I'm not getting old or anything.
>>740250604only in the 2000s. 90s video games aged like milk
>>740250842That's literally the target audience of remakes. Sure you have people who buy the game 2+ times but those are a special kind of retard paypiggy
>>740255908internet wasn't really widely adopted in the us until about 93 or 94
>>740255893>>740255908Well that answers that. You're barely sapient.
>>740255584Grim.>>740255372Anime fell off a cliff with the move to digital animation. I implore you, go and watch Be-Bop highschool, and then come back and tell me that 2008 anime was good because that's when you started watching seasonal shit.
>>740255893memories aren't ideas anon.
what if i told you that soul in games wasn't profitable?
>>740256032you don't really "know" the world when you're 3-4 anon.
>>740255984i hate only-graphics-matter fags so much it's unreal
>>740255908I just showed you the definition of the term you're using and now you're just actively choosing to be wrong
Apologize
>>740256043>anon literally didn't have ideas until he was in middle schoolI say this with absolute sincerity: You've been profoundly stupid for your entire life.
>>740250604The 90's and early 2000's were the peak of just about everything, I'm pretty sure that's unironically going to be the peak of humanity culturally considering the path we are headed.
>>740252675>thing made by fans for fans>thing becomes popular>companies and normalfags creep in>thing is no longer made by fans and its only purpose is make money
>>740251057obama and woke. listen to anthony.
>>740251057Social media rise + massively accelerated internet connection globally.Both of these have led to a decreased variety in ideas and content with decreased quality due to sheer ubiquity. Just look at basically anything gaming related on youtube nowadays compared to JUST the early 2010s. And we haven't even begun to hit rock bottom.
>>740255834>theyre better guiz except most of the games aren't
>>740256116I'm regaling historical fact that produced very different people and the exact year in which they should be distinguished, that the 1 turning into a 2 wasn't the cultural milestone everyone insisted it was, but the internet.>>740256139accepting things for granted isn't "forming ideas."
>>740256135>the end of a cycleFucking injuns were right
>>740256135>the world ended in 2012 and we have just been existing in a limbo sinceHuh, that makes a lot of sense actually.
>>740256278You don't have to co-opt a term that means something else to do that
>>740256270the games we talk about weren't the only ones we played
>>740256135I doubted the Mayans until I heard these two shitty songs on the radio.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KSOMA3QBU0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMUDVMiITOUThis was when I instantly knew we were in a new, soulless dimension.
>>740256296maybe the mayans had information from aliens or whoever is running the simulation
>>740256278>accepting things for granted isn't "forming ideas."Correct, and the fact that you can't conceive of people forming independent thoughts about the world around them until age 11 is why you're retarded.
>>740252365Based.
>>740256326Well, i am, and will continue to do so, because I am objectively correct. people born after 1990 have more in common with everyone born after 1990 than with anyone born before. The millennial generation is split directly in half by the internet going mainstream and 9/11.
>>740256042Code Geass is not "seasonal shit" and you're retarded to call it that. Fuck you, pseud.
>>740256410Congrats on being an annoying faggot I guess
>>740256394please, tell me your independent thoughts from when you were 10. attempt some genuine introspection.
>>740251057unironically social media and smartphonesalso pic related is a good read and has aged extremely well
>>740256478I was really pissed off about my arm being in a cast
>>740256135>>740256359There are two realities since the start of the Mayan calendar, Reality 1 (3114 BC-2012 AD) and Reality 2 (2013 AD onwards). What everyone here is saying about smartphones and social media destroying everything is absolutely correct, because 2013 was when iPhones outsold feature phones for the first time.
>>740256468thanks, its always fun to be "annoying" because you're saying things that are inarguable.
>>740254336>>740254336I always lurk and never post anything, but this guy here impressively got everything right. Outstanding job man
>>740251939We really have gen alpha on 4chan now
>>740256523that's a reaction, not an idea.
>>740256532>this is a chair>ERMM NO ACTAULLY IT'SYou're an annoying faggot
>>740256591I remember crying in my bed as a child over the inevitability of my death
>>740256747are you really intentionally dying on the hill that "generations" aren't completely arbitrarily defined, in response to a completely non-arbitrary event that created a "year zero" that completely changed everything afterwards?
>>740256478I first contemplated death as a concept, thought about God and the (lack of an) afterlife at age 5 and started crying. Now you can tell me I didn't actually think that and was just regurgitating something I heard somewhere so you can feel better about being an actual idiot.
>>740251057Honestly, It was 2014+ that felt soulless to me but everyone pretty much answered it: the proliferation of smartphones and social media along with the degeneration of society via ideas proliferated by these mediums along with the cheapening of art and just creative products in general to common products made on an assembly line to the entertain the lowest common denominator.>>740256153I wouldn't say the peak of everything but it's undeniable that it was a cultural golden age for the Western world. Even 9/11 didn't directly end it like some people like to say. Literally it was the Great Recession of 2008, the failure of OWS and the beginnings of the US culture war that brought it to an end. We'll get another golden age but it won't be anytime soon.
*filters you*
>>740256805shit nigger i was already looking forward to it. i was more afraid of spiders.
>>740255984final fantasy 12 looks so good
>>740256492Pretty deep ngl
>>740251057The world never recovered from the 2008 crash. So much stuff went under
>>740256872Generations are arbitrarily defined but there's a universal agreed upon definition that people actually use and your personal annoying faggot headcanon doesn't usurp that. It actually makes your opinion less relevant since there's no actual physical thing for you to examine and debunk the current accepted view of it.
>You're welcome
>>740256908Money laundering and trust funds. A corrupt pedo clique is printing funny money and buying real world assets. Simplified what Russian Oligarchs did in the 90s.
>>740252635This. Any game that needed a high end setup from back then can run on a potato today
>>740257067>Generations are arbitrarily definedand people who'd know a world without internet have nothing in common with people who won't, and therefore should never be considered the same group of people in any capacity.
>>740253053no the budgets are a lot lower than older anime in general. the most expensive productions today adjusted by inflation are still cheaper than some random kids anime from the 90s.
>>740250828No. You'd trade those games in a heartbeat for what we have now>inb4 lol you had fortnite and more fortnite and more fortnite with some roblox and minecraftYou didn't experience shit
>>740252635>in 1999 for example you couldn't play games from 2004.woah
>>740256901what if i go the route that someone told you god wasn't real and there wasn't an afterlife, and you just don't remember that part?
Don't open this.
>>740257307Just because you're an idiot with spotty memories doesn't mean the rest of us are. I have memories from when I was 3.
>>740257226
>>740257186Every single generation is twenty years. There's no need to break that pattern because the internet was invented, or the iphone, or AI, or airplanes.
>>740251057The smartphone giving normal- and poorfags easy internet access and social media has ruined everything.
>>740251057a lot of shit happened around that time>normalfags found the hobby>games stopped trying to be fun and started trying to be "art">companies started pushing for diversity hires rather than passionate nerds>live service games and microtransactions took offgaming is still good, better than it's ever been in some ways, but only if avoid triple A completely.
>>740257517>Comparing a 30 year old with a 10 year old>>740257375The movie was a mistake.
This facial expression was so insane when it first aired. I had to replay it multiple times just because I had never seen someone make such a crazy facial reaction. I was fully convinced she was going to shoot herself in the head or something after learning of Euph's death. I mean...this is also the same girl that was masturbating to pictures of Euph in the dark, and even got caught, but the girl who caught her was blind. It almost looks like an ahegao face, so I found it kind of hot.
>>740251057The games industry got too big and too profitable and drowned in a tidal wave of diseased frat boy MBA semen.
>>740257629You're the one who wants to compare people born in 1990 to people born in 2011
>>740257387>he thinks his memory is perfectyeah you're too young to be having this conversation at all.
>>740257095This retarded nepotistic Texan faggot is entirely why people were so behind Obongo, especially after fucking Katrina. God, I want to kill him.
>>740256492I've never liked this screencap because this guy is clearly just regurgitating the transcript of an Adam Curtis documentary with a bit of his own fanfic thrown in and acting like he's unveiled some epic esoteric truth, even if the gist of it is still correct.
>>740257517At this point its clear you just don't want to admit how dramatically the internet changed the world.
>>740257585It's as convenient as stupid of an answer
>>740257702no he wasn't, but they are more similar than dissimilar, and have more in common than someone born in 1990 will have with someone born in 1985.
>>740257763This is explained by biologists as randomness
>>740251057Because everything is a business now. Greed has corrupted too much.
>>740257790Events and inventions have literally zero bearing on how we track generations. The release of sentient sex bots and the sinking of South America into the ocean could happen next Tuesday and it would still be gen B being born right now.
>>740257375>End of the series >The two "bad people" end up becoming orange farmers after one of them is mind-broken so badly about the "orange" label/incident that he just succumbs to it. It's not really a bad ending. There are worse things that could have happened to them, so now they live peaceful on a farm.
>>740250604It’s been 20 years and no anime has come close to being as fun or memeable as Geass
>>740251057There’s only 144,000 souls and they’re shared among mankind. Every year the rising populations stretch them thinner and thinner, if the population ever crosses 20.7 billion then we will see children born without souls.Anyways people are making shit games because they have less of a soul
>>740257864Yes he was, he wants to make gen Z start seven years earlier. He's saying that 20 year generations are stupid but a 27 year generation makes perfect sense
>>740252165
>>740258023the show was fucking awfulit's everything bad about nu-animeit even had egregious product placementyou just watched it when you were 12 and though it was the greatest thing ever
>>740258105i'm saying he wasn't me you fucking retard.
>>740257927You were explained by child psychiatrists as retarded
>>740257995events and inventions are how we track culture, shared experience. Due to the internet, half the millennial generation has practically nothing in common with the other.
>>740251057
>>740258139You feel inexplicably hungry for some Pizza Hut.
OLD GOODNEW BAD
Read Baudrillard
>>740258275NEW NOT BAD?
>>740258234>events and inventions are how we track culture, shared experienceTrue! But that's not how we track generations :)
>>740258105I wasn't, Im a differen't guy.Today, even comparing a 16 year old with a 26 year old is insane. A 26 year old was 12 when gangnam style was viral all across the globe. A 16 year old was a baby.
>>740257706What do you do for a living? I'm guessing something that doesn't require much brain power.
>>740250604Yes and no. There's a bit of survivorship bias. You're comparing the good games from that time to everything now. For every Mario 64, there were ten Superman 64s. That said, it's been a long time since we've had a Mario 64 tier game, and even Odyssey wasn't as good. So I guess you're technically right but not by as much as you think.
>>740258451I accept your concession.
>>740258216>psychiatrists out of fucking nowhere Nope, ultra genius. Not that you would know the difference.You clown realize they don't do anything besides harm to innocent people?
>>740251939Holy actually underaged.
>>740258525>for ever 10/10 there was ten 1/10sno, there was one of each rating. legitimate 6/10s existed, etc. ratings hadn't been inflated yet to "anything below 7/10 is shit and anything over 8/10 is astroturf."
>>740258591>i am to being the supergenius

>>740258792transgenderism
>>740258792>90sRecession (everyone forgets we had one)>2007+Social media tormenting people mentally + another recession
>>740258738Suzaku came off asexual or was so dedicated to playing the soldier/hero that he must have felt women were a waste of time, or he always had to be ready, even if his opponent was a woman. He seemed more interested in men, if anything, but some of the girls in the series were interested in Suzuka, but he was too autistic to notice or care. I thought he had a crush on one of the girls, but it was never super obvious. Suzuka becomes so brainwashed/indoctroinated that any soldier/supporter of ZERO's campaign was an enemy to him, didn't matter if it was a woman. Kallen was literally Zero's second in command basically, and Lelouch was just as much of a faggot because Kallen loved Lelouch and he could have fucked her but like Suzaku he was too autistic and obsessed with his military campaign and super 6D chess plan to outwit his father and the government.
>>740258792video games were goodvideo games stopped being good
>>740258792Notice it skyrockets at 2013 exactly. Further proving that the Mayans were right about 2012 being the last good year.
>>740258792Virginity rates went up
>>740252165And all of them are getting remade and it hasnt even been that long. You think any games made in the past 10 years are getting remakes?
>>740258941
>>740250604Gaming can never get worse because you can still play all those old games. You don't because they are shit.
>>740258778Sure. And no one formed independent thoughts before middle school, just like you.
every generation thinks that they were the best the moment they become middle-aged. it's like some form of vicarious justification for being near the end of their lifespan. boomers did it, now chudlennials are doing it.
>>740258792>15-24Well, you have high school, which makes or breaks a lot of people depending on varying circumstances and factors. After high school, a lot of people go off to college, which can be even worse than high school. Others don't go to college and just float through the ether not really knowing what to do with their lives. I would think 15–24-year-olds are more likely to suffer from mental problems like anxiety and depression, so the suicide rates being so high for that demographic doesn't surprise me.

>>740258992Ah, right. It's coming back to me now. He was a pedophile Suzuka had no interest in older women/teenage girls.
>>740259107Why are western w*men so allergic to bangs
>>740259113You insisting a thought I had wasn't mine, but rather something I was told and forgot doesn't make it true. You're genuinely too stupid to have this conversation. Now get back to cleaning toilets or making powerpoints or whatever it is you do all day.

>>740254187What? No, that is not how it went, she was full yandere mode screaming to suzako to "activate the bomb and save himself" and because that "LIVE!" geass put into him he obeyed, only after the bomb finally exploded and killed millions, the dumb girl finally snapped out from yandere Insanity due to the sheer scale of carnage her bomb has done.
>>740259080except we're talking about video games, and 90s-00s was the objective peak.
>>740255097I agree, absolutely everything went to shit the moment gen 6 ended. movies, games, music all became garbage at the same time

>>740255097Sorry, but the best game ever came in 2010.
>>740250604what was Nina (((Einstein)))'s problem
>>740259274False. This kino song came out in 2008.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_aC5xPQ2f4And 2007 was a king-sized year for gaming.The reason most people agree the Mayans were right and 2012 was the last good year is because it was.
>>740259264Nah boomers hated those games at the time, youre the same now
>>740259224Zoomzooms having nostalgia for the generation that put the nail in the coffin on gaming gives credence to the "nothing was ever better you were just 12" crowd.
>>740258721Not the, but ther! Ther supa geniums.
>>740251384I never really got why that's such a big deal to people. I can't tell if it's simply because she turned out to be a lesbian, or simply because it's a sudden unexpected masturbation scene, or if it's just men who didn't know girls masturbate by rubbing on the edges of furniture
>>740253815That picture is making fun of his shitty memory you autist
>>7402550972012 is the cutoff of decent AAA games even existing. There are zero good AAA games released after 2012. No, your latest Crapcum demake or whatever garbage you play is not good.

>>740259371>everyone is as stupid as meNope, sorry. And it wasn't random. A family member died and it made me think about what happens. And no, no one told me there was no God or afterlife. You need to accept that not everyone is a born ditch digger like you.
>>740259506yeah anon, 1989 usenet is totally representative of the video game market. i was on their too talking about the politics of mario.

>>740251057>>740255097Both of you are wrong and the cutoff date doesn't matter, some older boomer probably think it was 9/11, others will say since the mid 90s, others will say since the end of the Reagan term. The only thing consistent is the age where you became a older teen/adult, for me, things only truly went to shit after 2015, same way there's a zoomer out there nostalgic for 2009 MW2 lobbies there's also a gen alpha kid nostalgic for playing Fortnite and Genshin in 2021, meanwhile shit had hit the fan in the "adult" world in both of those years.

I guess you could say it's like Guilty Gear 2 Overdrive in that it's a third person action game with some RTS elements, but GG2 is pretty fucking unpolished and I don't think anyone likes that game unironically (for the gameplay at least. The story, music and aesthetics is pretty cool). Plus, Kunitsu gami is more of an action game than a straight up fighting game and the RTS elements and implemented in a more cohesive manner along with the base building elements as well.

>>740261376>he needed one of the peak animes recommended...
>>740261406>it's good but it's not good
>>740261430Name one
>>740261417Don't @ me, newhalf
>>740261479You're too stupid lol. enjoy your slop i bet my left nut you are a left wing monkey
>>740261480I don't feel like being your source of entertainment today sorry. Maybe someone else will engage to help you kill time.
>>740261516you lost the argument and now are trying to be political to derail the thread how pathetic
>>740252675Lots of studios folded after the PS2 era, and too many of the ones that were left took the "you're falling behind the West" criticism too seriously.
>>740261275Nigger fates didnt even come out in english until 2016>monster girl quest
>>740251057we quite literally never recovered from the 2008 recession and covid just made it all worse
>>740261626Oh no, two games! That only leaves like 30+ bangers
>>740259872This is the lazy "Simpsons got bad when you got bored of it" way of viewing it. It's untrue, you can actually analyse the decline in quality divorced from your own personal nostalgic feelings. It just requires people to admit they're nostalgic about bad games or an objectively shit era.
>>740261195>Good 1st seasonnot after the Euphie massacre, gacha games have better writing
video games were better when you found out about the game at the store reading the back of the box instead of being heavily advertised to and seeing the exaggerated opinions of fags on the internet.
>>740261195>Filtered by a fast plot>>740261726>Filtered by the most obvious plot point in anime history
>>740261726Yeah that plot twist was completely retarded, i remmeber loving it back in 2007 when i was in high school, but nowadays i realize how poorly written it was and how it falls apart, but i still maintain that the first season was good. well aside from the high school episodes that felt like filler pizza hut propaganda.still more entertaining than most rpgs stories though, no idea why storyfags play games, just watch anime or tv show instead.
>>740261767>zoomers will never experience renting a game and beating it in a week over and over again before you have to return it
>>740261726>He didn't understand that Lulu's geass requires him to work alone, so when he teams up with Euphie it goes haywire.Takes 10 seconds to rewatch and understand.
>>740261841>zoomers spend $70 to watch a download bar and beat a game in a day to never touch it again
>>740261787>>740261904they can make all the excuses they want, it's still retarded and they clearly wrote themselves to a corner and had to come up with some bullshit to keep the series going
Code Ment was never funny
>>740251057Can't tell, i began accessing the net in 2013-2014 so it all makes part of my beloved infancy, even Facebook, funny enough most of the games i consider my favorites are from 2007-2011. After 2017 things get weird but i might be biased cause its closest to Covid.
>Cousin and I are watching Code Geass>Remember what Ohgi did >Trying to contain my seethe every time I see him on screen as to not spoil itFuck that traitor! Death is too good for him!
>>740262008>Oh no, people would NEVER massacre their enemies after they invited them!>Oh no, Geass users would NEVER loss control of their geass, ever!Get real.
>>740261275>>740260761If you tried to do this for any year in the past decade it would just be a bunch of remakes
>>740251057>2001 9/11>2007 iphones + social networks + third world internet penetration>2012 occupy wall street response
>>740262162Conveniently tells euphie to genocide people as a joke right when the geas malfunctions. Pesk writing
>>740262295As if pointing a gun as a joke hasn't killed people.
>>740252852what page to make the list?
>>740262162>I could command you to genocide all Japs lol>oh no my geass is permanent now?!
>>740262341
>>740262452>>740262295Yep, it's just bad timing. Which makes it kino and realistic.
>>740262452Ask C.C. what she did during her whore years and why did she stop.
>>740260761 based af 2006 enjoyer. it's also my personal favorite year
>>740258792Slipped the slope
I forgot this board is full of fetuses now
>>740262518she was too busy getting blown and shot
>>740262609>old good new bad
>>740262626No, that was after.
POV: you're shirley
>>740260276i've watched night shift nurses but nice try pretty good hentai
>>740255012>>740255436People born up to around '95 were formed in and knew a world in which a nascent internet was a utility, more convenient but of similar results to already existing technology, and not anywhere near a cultural dominator. The cutoff of a genuinely different experience marking a generation split are the people who entered their teens with the beginnings of all the shit now afflicting us already gaining strength. Facebook, reddit, twitter already founded and ramping up, smartphones becoming commonplace. Digital entertainment and time-wasters diverse and endless enough that they don't have significant experiences of spending days outdoors with almost zero connection to anything.
>The new CG movie where Lelouch is revived barely has Lelouch in it>Roze of ReCapture is fucking boring and uses the same plot as season 1>Akito the Exiled is just fucking boring>The new anime will release with no one watching it because it's being written by some retard who makes VNs
Elevens exist to get killed.>>740263387The series is dead, it's high time to accept it.
>>740250604games were actually coming out back then. most series had a game every year or twonow we're lucky to get 1 game in a decade from series that we used to get 10x more regularly. even indie games take forever to make now, look at mina the hollower or silksong or slay the spire 2 or a million other examplesThe games themselves weren't any worse despite being made in a tenth of the time with a tenth the amount of people. I think we should be able to admit that current devs hit diminishing returns a long time ago and are letting themselves get fucked over by diseconomies of scale since trying to corral devteams of literally hundreds of people is a management nightmare
>>740263224Best girl.
>>740263521Did she deserve to die?
>>740250604So why she was horny for the princess?
>>740263557After willingly accepting to do anything for Lelouch? Yeah.That's what makes her great.That first season EP at the graveyard still hits hard.
>>740263326The internet makes that specific generational cutoff really fuzzy because it creates an instant hard swing from local to global. It depends on how quickly your home got DSL and how urban you were to have the social influence of getting the new tech. On one hand someone born in 95 would be 11 or 12 when what you describe was becoming true but on the other hand many people didn't get a smartphone or start using any internet on it until like 2010 and social media was just a thing they used for like 30 minutes a day when they were at a computer and it's barely different from using AIM over dialup which is barely different from texting.
Is this the only anime to get a somewhat satisfactory closure ever?
>>740263817Marco did it.
>>740263817Nhonestly yeah
>>740258792Very obviously social media
>>740263817SG did it better.
>Epsteins;Gate fags have arrivedTime to sleep.
>>740264032it was more retarded than geass yeah but that's about it
>>740259701Pro tip, not everyone who criticizes you is hating on you. Even if they are, sperging out does nothing for your optics.
>>740263817yes
the 90s and early 2000s was super toxic and problematic and racist and games were super jank and sexist and ugly and unwelcoming to new players yall be trippin
>>740263817now I remember symphogear
>>740264084Dude it's among the best anime from last decade, show some respect.
>>740251057Smartphones, social media and the algorithm-based internet, along with advertisers and foreign propaganda pushers making the internet unusable. And now AI is making it even worse.Glad I got to enjoy the late 90s and early 2000s internet. For just a blip in human history, the internet was awesome. I wonder if it ever can be again. Maybe in a different way, it'll never be the same as everybody enjoying it for the first time, untainted.
>>740250604games were shitty and buggy though. and the jank was terrible>no return to title screen>needed to reboot the system to load another save>games had issues hitting caps (devs didn't account for full inventories or caps)>games used to have deficient UIs (e.g. equip screen only lists increases in attack or defense, while increases in evasion aren't shown, items and skills that don't tell you what the fuck they do (e.g. control enemy aggro, reduce your character's fatigue))>lack of convenient features like the ability to replay previous levels or the ability to rebind buttonsgrass isn't always greener on the other side>>740251057because offshoring, outsourcing, and pajeets. and experimental games are dead, and passionate nerds with a vision are gone. now it's all focus testing and development by committee.
>>740252165the old games that are frequently mentioned are better than the new games that are frequently mentioned
>>740261275All this shows me is that Intelligent systems was fucking COOKING in 2015 and has lost its way ever since
>>740250604yeah except you can buy like 5 devices and pirate the entire library of back then as well as play rom hacks and mods that didnt exist thenAAA was better back then custom gaming is better nowpc handheld plus midrange pc or used post 2010 gaming pc plus a console for used games like ps4 switch 1 with no membership bought used would play everythingim broke and dont spend whale money and all id need to do to play everything is upgrade my 1070 ryzen 1700 to gtx 1080 ti and a ryzen 3700 and get a pc handheld a wii u and a hacked 360 plus hack my ps3 and 3ds
>>740264461no
>>740250604The slop tidal wave started from 2010+
>>740264032S;G had a good last episode but that was the only good thing about it.
>>740264461>best from the last decadeThe respect it deserves: zero
>we will never get a Code Geass game where you control knightmare frames and slaughter tons of elevens/britannians because Sunrise are fucking retards
>>740261275>>Triforce heroeswow
>>740262534>call it a slippery slope>but have wojacks of the people who were actively pushing each step Iq test: fail
Uncs be like:>Yoooooooooo little zoom you gotta try this game! It’s goated!!I try it>the graphics are dated>the controls are clunky>the writing is cringe >the female characters are over-sexualized>the community is deadAs far as I’m concerned gaming didn’t get good until 2015 at the earliest.
>>740264032Yeah I agree, CG ending was decent if season 2 as a whole wasn't a shitshow leading up to it.
I tried to watch S;G and gave up when it expected me to by into convenient constants like the friend group always reforming with the same dynamics or that token little sister character always being killed off. You can't do alternate timelines and constants
>>740251057Because The Iphone let people who shouldnt be on the internet 24/7 on it 24/7 and Social Media made everyone beyond retarded.Also bunch of shitheads got into positions of power that have no buisness being in power. Also everything became tiresomely political.
>>740262534I remember in 2018ish when /pol/ wanted to remove slippery slope from the fallacy list on the sticky
>>740250604I'm 42 years old and some of my favorite games have come out only within the last 5 years, like Elden Ring and BG3Games are fine, there were plenty of garbage games back in my day too you know
>>740264897I was taking it seriously until those last 3>2015fagMakes sense now
>>740264897>redditbob image>dogshit opinionEvery time
>>740264997>>740265009just wordfilter unc
>>740264997It's the same guy samefagging while unknowingly exposing himself with his autistic obsession with a specific year.
Fine, i'll watch Code Geass again.
>>7402506046/10 games released in 90s to 00s would be considered 9/10 today
>thread descends into gibbering about digital anime
>>740264897>the female characters being sexy is a negativefound the faggot
>>740265310just watch porn
>>740265254makes sense since dogshit like mixtape and god of war ragnarock and paper mario 33 are all 10/10 in modern year. remake culture is gaming healing, unironically
>>740264997>>740265009>>740265310GUYS HES BAITING STOP
>>740265112don't, it gets worse
>>740265112Is Kaiji still going?
>>740265112Kaiji is miles above gayass
>>740263485Its literally this. If you got a shit game from your favorite franchise it wasnt that bad because you knew your next favorite franchise was gonna pump out a good game in a few months. Now if a game sucks the franchise is basically fucked forever ala god of war
who would win
>>740265959Kaiji is the GOAT but he can't bluff his way to victory against people with literal superpowers.
>>740261904They should have fucked
>>740266064why not?
>>740265959Lack of information on the situation to make a decision.Does Eren have the Attack Titan? Does Lelouch have a Knightmare Frame? Do they know of each other's existence? Is this a white room or a living world?
>>740251384They were showing just how black her soul was.
>>740266129>naked wearing his capehmmm
>>740266157Because one of them can see the future and I don't think he would know that.
>>740252852Okay, what the fuck is trying just hard enough?
>>740258105Whatever is the median age at first childbirth should probably be the number of years where you draw the magic line between generations, or perhaps it should be considered more like a wide margin or fuzzy border
>>740266331
>>740252675Koreans
>>740261280Bet you play DOOM when it aims for you lmao
>>740250604JIBUN WO
>>740264931Technically it's still a logical falacy but it's also the modus operandi of the left so you have to decide if arguing logically with these people is desireable at all.
>>740259506yes nes games are overrated
>>740265112>fine, i'll watch mid again>posted with reaction image from kino
>>740266591This nigga gets it. Every show that looks like shit now is full of gook and SEAmonkey names in the credits. Any show that still has good art direction and consistent animation is pure nip.
>>740252165people speak about, at best, 10 modern games, across all fucking consoles.This isn't an own, just a warning, is going to get worse and you can't stop it.
>>740252852>Boomers are always right because whey were born in hard timesin my country this was true but not in the US
>>740265959With no powers? Kaiji, but he needs to owe money to someoneWith powers? Light would kill Eren instantly, since he likes showing off, he might be able to kill Lelouch if he finds he's Zero, probably will if Misa helps him, and Kaiji is a nobody, so it's a tie
>>740251057Specifically around 2014, the major push for feminism began and Obama is also largely to blame.I don't know the exact specifics but it's the same reason why basically everyone entertainment industry turned to complete shit.
>>740265354
>>740267792obama was a corpo plant to disarm the unrest of the 2008 crash. He exacerbated racial tensions that were already gone in society
>>740266216Her big dress was in the ocean
>everyone is blaming feminism and muh woke or muh smartphones and not the fact that rent seeking and greed went into overdrive post-2008Damn your minds are fucked. The reason why things suck now is because corporations bought up everything and hiked up the prices. Everyone is paranoid and nervous as fuck now, and terrified of taking risks.If you fucked up and spent a bunch of time making a game that didn't pan out in the 90s, you could still bounce back and keep your house. Now, a fuck up means you lose EVERYTHING and get trapped in the permanent underclass, so nobody takes any risks, only making the safest things possible.
>>740252675it's 2 things, one is appeal but with nuance.>appealAccessibility, as with many social causes, is a noble pursuit. When it's designed from a culture of leadership, there is very little room for expertise. "Accessibility" has become interruption. Players will make an action and before they can figure out if they are learning, they are told CONGRATULATIONS and pushed forward. If reading is something for an abled person, instruction manuals don't cut it. So, just like wheelchair ramps, we have only patched out a short-sighted design choice. Not actually made something useful.This makes players spam thoughts and wait to be pushed forward. Its the reason kids are pathetically bad at maths at the moment. There's nobody telling them when they are right, so they panic and say fuck it.>soula lot of media really resonated with people that think deeply into ideas that could be expressed but not easily enough to discuss. So now we have an era in media where all the creatives are forcing out their childhood ideas with anything they can use to make it sensible. Unfortunately, all the most interesting ideas that people latched onto for extended periods are ones that came from being exposed to the same media as everyone else in the prior era of media.This is why every movie, comic, game, etc. Is loosely based around ascendency without divinity or intervention.>Everywhen >Realm between realms>Nexus>Systemspace>Multiverse>Interdimensional>Abstract manifestation of XYZ concept (depression, string logic, mania, despair, focus, correction, perfection, lust, etc.)They are all neat in topic, but the art is crafted by people within the industry. So all their practice time has not been spent on perfecting the crafts, instead it has been spent getting passable, then focussing on how to make the ideas a product (not in terms of sales or capital, product with the meaning of producing something tangible.)
>>740262008>introduce mao>give him 3 episodes as the main enemy>his weakness is that he can't turn off his geass
>>740251939Code Geass (pronounced Gay Ass)
>>740255084>Code Geass. The girl in question is also objectively worst girl.She's canonically Jewish so that's expected, and no surprise she's insane too.
>>740252517If we are on 4chan, we are all ultimately mostly the same, regardless of age.
>>740251057rock calendar.
>>740268335I wonder who is correct. Everyone else or (You)?
Astounding how many people keep claiming Boomers were born in the "hard times". It was the easiest time IN RECORDED HUMAN HISTORY.
>>740268856>(pronounced Gay Ass)isnt this actually true lol?
>>740255012you may be incorrect, but you're not wrong
The good world ended in about 2008 when that financial collapse happened but actually what happened is there was a movement called Occupy Wall Street who saw creeping corruption and was going to go root it out, HUGE movement, millions in the streets, no surprise they never taught you about it, because it SCARED the system, and they had to do something, so they invented "woke" and all that other shit, they began racially dividing people by importing more jeets/mexicans/etc and creating BLM and basically everything that has ruined modern times. They made it so we can't organize. Now we live in the consequences of their operation.
>>740269186They began a campaign to remove whites from media, to make all media woke, to remove anything inspiring from media, no more talk of a greater good or heroism or virtue, all removed from media, to create a depressed docile demoralized population that will never believe they can be virtuous against "them" ever again
>>740269261All music then began being about having a toxic lifestyle, women hating men, men simping and cucking for women, drinking, doing drugs, being christian (some of you wont get that one), etc
>>740257226>what we have nowBeing what exactly?
>>740268335All I'm hearing is>it wasn't this jewish thing it was this other jewish thing
>>740265409if someone wants to look stupid, help them
>>740266636Technological limitation due to there being no intuitive way to look up/down, that was patched out when mouselook was patched in. Literally every aspect of halo was “how do we minimize the amount the player actually has to interact with the game.”
>>740267223Anon. Slippery slope implies [whatever] will progress without any effort or action. That it will happen automatically.You refute the idea that anything “the left” does is a slippery slope by admitting “the left” is actively responsible and pushing everything they push. That is why they’re laughing at you. You’re calling concerted efforts and blowing millions of dollars “automatic progression” while doing nothing to push back.
>>740252675everything is just diluted.Even indie shit is getting that treatment now.There's this dev that made that one Postal Brain damaged game, which was pretty alright, but now is using that engine to do a bunch of other mediocre games that play almost exactly the same, they also use a.i generated images.
>>7402510572010 - 2013 was when the gold brick road transitioned into the gold gravel path. ~2015 was when most AAA companies decided to go the self destructive route and fortnite came in around 17 and the industry has been a husk of its self since.
>>740269058yeah. Nips would pronounce “ge” as “geh” or “gay” and “ass” as “ass.” And nakama means comrade and keikaku means plan.
>>740251057Smartphones made us cyborgs.We are no longer the same species our forefathers were.Both jobs and gates controlled acces to media and technology for their kids.The same assholes that sell you this shit.Even dealers consume their own poison, so how toxic does this stuff have to be that not even the minds that invented this shit doesnt want anything to do with it in their family.Uncle Ted was right, and we should kill every techbro we come across.
>>740257375OrangeGOD..
>>740252535Anon, we're about a year and a half off from people born after S1 aired being old enough to post here.
>>740260352A man of culture. I also recommend Valvrave. It's not nearly as clever as CG but the rollercoaster ride is quite enjoyable.
>>740271042boku ja nai
>>740257186>and people who'd know a world without internet have nothing in common with people who won't, and therefore should never be considered the same group of people in any capacity.Bro Im a 91 millenial. Internet was NOT widely utilized in nearly any prolonged capacity outside of turbo nerd enthusiasts and thus basically didnt fucking exist to 99% of the population. This was true up until the mid 00s, and it was still niche as fuck, just wider availability for nerds, hence the 00s anime/weeb boom. To the vast majority of the population, internet didnt become a thing you look at more than once or twice a month until late 00s when social media/youtube and smartphones kicked off. You trying to act like internet was some big thing that seperates the gen is really fucking retarded because most kids barely fucking used the internet outside of turbo nerds, and wasnt even available at "high speed" until the mid 00s>HURRR DURRR NO THERE WAS INTERNET SO THEREFORE ITS DIFFERENT DURRRRARPA was in the 60s. People were using Usenet in the fucking 80s. What is the functional difference between that and crawling forums before the mid 00s? Like holy shit, imagine trying to be elitist over something you know fuck all about because youre too fucking ignorant to know that you could have had access to this shit. You arent special. You're a millenial, and so am I.
>>740271042Never saw the show but I'll never forget the legendary amount of shitposting over on /m/
>>740271242This. Millennials end in 1995-1996 by all reliable definition..
>>740252535I don’t recognize it either because it came after the fall of anime to digital bullshit
>>740271330Go watch the iceman episode of South Park. Just because bumfuck hadn’t gotten the internet yet doesn’t mean the 1990 divide isn’t real.
>>740271242You too >>740271475. I was confused at the time by the whole “dude this place is like ten years in the past” thing but the internet was that big a change. You being in bumfuck makes you a cultural outlier who got to live in the 90s well past the 90s. Shit you probably saw garth brooks concerts and insist oasis wasn’t a popular band.
>>740251057Jews dei
>>740271042vulvarape jumped the shark on S2. They went full retard
>>740271475>>740271650>Just because bumfuck hadn’t gotten the internet yetNo retard, 99.99999% of people didnt use the internet more than a few times a month. You are getting pissy over something that amounted to 5 minutes of someone's experience for the vast majority of the population. It is RETARDED to have that as your qualifier. I was upper middle class and a vidya/anime enthusiast, and I didnt start using the internet a lot until like 2002ish. And thats early as fuck since high speed internet still wouldnt be a thing for a few years. I can tell you with absolute certainty that using the internet outside a few minutes of novelty/kids trying to download a tiddie pic for 5+ minutes was NOT commonplace, at all, in any fucking capacity. And anyone alive during that time can confirm this. Also cute how you didnt adress people using shit like Usenet in the 80s. You arent special dude. Im sorry, you just arent.
