Do you ever wish you could turn back time to a better era of video games?
>>
I miss memes
>>
4chan is kill

The living-death marches on. 4chan is now a grandpa now being stabbed to death by 10 year old grandchild Sharty because he won't give them back their phone.

Dead and irrelevant website.
Everyone use xitter and discord nowadays.
Most people here are probably out of touch 35+ years old dudes who can't move on and schizos/autists who have no other choices because they're banned from everywhere else.

>>748809032
I don't fit in with 90 percent of the people on my steam list anymore because I :
Don't use discord
Don't use twitterskystatontokbook
Don't use twitch

I play games "too much" for them. And by that they mean I don't play whatever is new and hop off the current flavor after a fucking laser pointer pulling a cat to it.

I wish I could turn back time to when I was a little kid and I didn't have to work and all of the adults took care of me, and make it stay that way forever. Hate adultin', wan be baby foweba.
>>
I can't into "social" games anymore
the internet lost it's magic, so I just play pre-Steam shit now
btw can anyone tell me what the fuck "counter strike 2" is
>>
>>748809207
No...
>>
>>748809032
Fuck no. I never want to go back to dialup internet and having to upgrade my entire computer every 1-2 years.
>>
>>748809092
Wojak killed the internet
>>
>>748809032
No I have the ones I want saved in my HDD
>>
Not really, there's tons of different games I'm enjoying recently and looking forward too. Maybe a different time on the internet, but at least i still have one corner where it feels like pre 2016 internet sometimes
>>
>>748809207
Killed by admins who are more fixated on what network a post comes from than the quality of the post.
>>
>>748809032
I don't like replaying games. I do wish good games were more common nowadays.
>>
>>748811517
>Maybe a different time on the internet

That's what I wanted to say. There are good games in the past and now, but the biggest change over time is the quality of the userbase. I hope the new people like talking to each other even if I don't want to speak to them. Feels like high school all over again, where I just sat by myself.

What do you mean by that?
>>
>>748811954
>What do you mean by that?
Endless range bans of entire countries and/or mobile carriers.
>>
>>748811124
>btw can anyone tell me what the fuck "counter strike 2" is
it's a first person shooter where you plant and defuse bombs
>>
>>748812005
Oh. I'm part of one of those range bans, but I'm evading. I refuse to be blocked from a place I used all my life, and that's how I figured out how to get past it. I can't say how or maybe the block will become more advanced. I just read posts in the archive until one of them gave me an idea.

>>748809032
I remember being mad about doge being in this drawing because it seemed like reddit. And then the panel trolled the reddit haters. Good times
>>
>>748809032
I don't want to turn back time, I want to bring that energy forward to the present. Rather than a repeat of an era I already enjoyed something just as fun but new should take its place. New games in new franchises, new tv shows and movies and music all spawning new OC and new memes.
It feels like we've been locked in place for over a decade now. Games take entire console gens to release and they're bad anyway, every new tv show and movie has the same writing that wasn't even good the first time, people are still posting the same wojaks and pepes over and over and over.

If you love new stuff so much then why are you still using 4chan? I'm here because I don't like new things.

Back when I started posting here this was the place to be and I guess some naive part of me still thinks things could get better here again someday. I do go to other places but most of them suffer from similar issues (or just a lack of traffic) because going to other places doesn't fix one of the biggest underlying problems. Internet culture is largely downstream of things being done in the physical world. Posting somewhere else doesn't transport you to an alternate reality where the AA market is still alive and producing dozens of genre-defining games every year.
>>
>>748812652
>I want to bring that energy forward to the present
I've had a similar mindset, I have it for my use in the internet as well. I've recently decided to force myself to be more active in the communities im a part of, this place included. I post more now than I have ever before and its greatly improved my time here and elsewhere, although there isn't much of substance out there even then
>>
>>748814178
I dont see that cat being epic. I see a cat being "le relatable depression maymay"
The "its le oldfag because cat memes were popular back then!" defense doesnt work when your cat memes are sardonic in nature

I miss the times when post quality would drop during the summer when everyone was out of school and newfags showed up, then one day we just had an Eternal Summer

/v/ was shit since about it's 3rd week of existence to be honest.
