You now remember the zealous anti-gamer attitude this board had that mysteriously went away the same time when proton made playing games on Linux significantly easier
>>108004305I don't remember any of that.I do however remember when some random woman had sex with a bunch of gaming critics and they all gave her shitty game high rating and recommendations.I remember that gaming stopped being good.I remember that 4chinz started having a lot of tourist, invaders and summerfags shitting itting up the discussionsI remember a lot of things, but not that, OP.
>>108004335I know exactly what OP was talking about. Maybe you should lurk moar.
>>108004305any game that doesn't use a guitar hero controller is fucking cringe
I'm still anti-gaming because fuck you
Pretty sure it went away when wintoddler took over the board.
>>108004305True. It's actually funny.
>>108004335BEEP BEEP BEEP
>>108004305it still very anti-gaymer here, newfrog.the trick is to discuss GPUs without mentioning you're a pew pew loving retard and you'll get your thread
I remember when this board said 4k would never take off, even well after sales of 4k TVs surpassed that of FHD TVs. This board is fucking awful at tech predictions.
>>108004335>HURR DURR THERE ARE NO GOOD MODERN GAMESHave you fags tried playing more than the same 5-10 franchises made by the same companies you grew up with?
>>108004413>>108004423>>108004499Reminder that you cannot be anti-gaming but also pro-anime
>>108004532Why?
>>108004532I can very much watch anime and not play video games
>>108004539The same boomer "waste of time" or "nerd hobby" arguments against gaming apply to anime. They're both things you just do for fun or to relax>>108004540That contradicts literally nothing I said you stupid Mexican, learn English
It's called sour grapes, anon, and it's not a new thing.
>>108004579You can watch any anime without running proprietary shitware. Same can't be said for games.
>>108004625I don't think you know what proprietary software means
>>108004305Nice cope. You're still >>>/v/ermin glad I could help.
>>108004579>it's just for fun bro! It's just relaxing!This is not what gamers doGamers will commit vast amounts of time into a game so they can feel better about themselves and pretend they've done something with their lives. Gaming is a surrogate for living out real life, and gamers are always the most dysgenic manchildren that can only think of gaming and put all of their money and emotions into it.Real art mediums like painting, books, or movies (included with movies are other moving pictures, whether they be long or short form) are enjoyed moderately, and you need to go far greater lengths to make these as harmful as games
>>108004728Funny how you can replace "games" and "gamers" with "anime" and "anime watchers" and it'd sound exactly the same. If you have to argue a hobby is bad because addicts to it exist, while ignoring addicts to your hobby, then you're just retarded.Eating food is bad because addicts to it become 400 pounds, while drinking alcohol is real consumption that lets you live life and enjoy it and become ambitious
>>108004788>it's the same because I said so
>>108004810>It's completely different because I said so
>>108004847It is evident.
>>108004654Enlighten me about how mpv is proprietary and Steam isn't.
>>108004852You were debunked
>>108004892I wasn't though? You just claimed "uh uh uhm, those are just addicted people!" as if it's not just basic gaming>watching a couple episodes of anime a day and pausing / doing something else whenevervs>wasting thousands of dollars just to play the brand new games, spending hours every day "grinding" video games, skipping sleep to play video games, ignoring school, work or family to play video games, basing your entire life on playing video games, shitting up /g/ with gaming retardationAnd many more. Gaming is intrinsically more addictive and more dangerous than anime, watching anime is better compared to reading a book in terms of investment and engagement
>>108004305yes i've left the board for a whileyou fucking manchildren stop masturbating at fictional characters and get a fucking job
>>108004972>Watching anime is better compared to reading a book in terms of investment and engagementMade his bait too obvious award
This board has always been tech support for /v/
>>108005016I bet you read that as>watching anime is just as intellectual and sophisticated as reading a bookBecause your tiny little gamer brain can't understand anything more complicated than "level up!"
>>108005009>stop masturbating at fictional characters and get a fucking jobYou can't tell me what to do
>>108005037Awful bait, try again
>>108005083Concession acceptedGaming = doomscrollingAnime = just another movie or book
>>108004305People grew up. I've come to accept nonfree cuckoldry into my life, but I still take measures to limit the damage of it by using flatpaks and only keeping limited data on my shit phone. Sadly RMS has lost and giga corps and normies have won.
>>108004858Anime is made with proprietary softwaresorry, no anime was ever completed with freetard software
Still no actual reasons as to why gaming is somehow worse than watching anime btw This board's anti-gaming phase was so cringy, it was obvious it was purely sour grapes
>>108005226>it was obvious it was purely sour grapesdon't forget the copious amount of open source communist shills
>>108004305Linux is THE premier sour grapes platform. You don't NEED anything that makes other platforms relevant and usable they're bad anyways!!
>>108004305It has always been cope. Watch how adobe shit will be praised once it's fully functional on lincux.
>>108004522I haven't. Give me recommendations.
>>108004522Name 5 good games that have been made in the last 5 years NOW!
>>108004305Hell yeah. Lurking this board and seeing all the "gaming on linux is actually fine" posts gave me the balls to make the switch. arch linux runs vr chat on my valve index. Thank you nerds and nerdettes.
>>108004369I have been here since 1998. Maybe you should lurk more.
>>108005124This is the dumbest shit I've read all day. The product of software isn't software, and the software used has no bearing on the license of the product. Free software written in Visual Studio is still free software.You can't legally modify and distribute anime freely, but that has nothing to do with how it was made.
>>108005860you're welcome, lunduke
>>108004522>Hurr durrThere aren't, you fucking zoomette. You don't even know what a good game is.
>>108004728All media can be enjoyed in moderation. That some people get addicted to playing games or watching anime is their issue. Although I will say that there's a larger quantity of good games as opposed to good anime which can be counted on one hand or two at most.
>>108005786>>108005827BG3, KCD2, Dispatch, MHWilds & Cyberpunk 2077.
>>108004522I haven't bought a non indie game in soon to be 13 years. There are no games worth even pirating since that'd still be a waste of my time and bandwidth.
>>108007329>good gameNonsense
>>108005827Troublesh...>2020 is 6 years agofuggg
>>108007343anon.....
>>108004305No, videogames are still basically for retards. Also the "attitude" is there so this doesn't become yet another video games board on fucking 4chan, which already has like six.
>>108004305I simply grew up and started playing games.
>>108004518>>>/tv/
>>108004305The average age of /g/ has gone up. We grew out of vidya and dgas anymore.
>>108004305I didn't realise it went away. /g/ has been infested with mindless worker ants for a very long time now
>>108007467There are. Some have even been ported natively to Linux now, so you don't need to be a sour grape.
>>108015791I didn't game on Windows, I'm not gonna game on Linux, fuck off manchild
>>108015810>I deprive myself of fun activitiesnot my problem
>>108007343>Baldur's Woke 3stopped reading there
>>108015838>gaming is the only fun thing you can doThe state of gamers
>>108004305midwit's take is that gaming accessibility made people change their tune rather than bringing in new linux nerds
>>108004728>Gaming is a surrogate for living out real lifeHow you explain what you mean by living out real life? Try to mention your own examples instead of some incel romanticized version of it.
>>108017820>incelFuck off you too faggot
