I was told some of you here were wondering what ever became of me. In short, life. New hobbies. Job. House. Brown gamer Gf. That sort of shit. I'm not going to say I grew out of mini building but I found new interest in being a professional drawfag and making armor in my spare time. Pic unrelated its was made for me by an actual pro. >who the fuck is thisIf you don't know don't worry about it. I haven't done anything relevant in over a decade. Just wanted to let the surviving old guard know I'm not dead. Just going through twink death.Sage goes in all fields shut up tripfag nobody cares etc etc.
Alright dude absolutely no way to verify that and Scriptarius never namefag'd IIRC but whatever, I'd like to think you were happy. But I'd also like to think you would find no point in coming back here 13 years after you left.
>Brown gamer GfSo you won. Congrats.
>>98119921I was planning on restoring the gingerperor and it made me nostalgic for the old ocean of piss.Best I can do to verify myself is my that I still have my hair, greying as it may be.
>>98119949If you ever did, I know I would love to see it.
>>98119949That's a charming photo, it makes me smile to compare it to the mental image I have from your old ones. I hope you're doing well, man, really, but this place is dying. Best of luck.
>>98119867It's good to know that at least someone from the old days managed to get out of here and make it in the real world.
>>98119867>Brown gamer GfRace treason is problematic
>brown gamer gf>twink death
>>98119962I'll be sure to catalogue it here when I get started.>>98120038Frankly I'm surprised it's still standing as a whole. But then I suppose /tg/ was always a different beast to most boards.>>98120046The others are probably out there somewhere, hopefully succeeding in their own lives. I'm just glad I'm settled into a steady job that lets me keep up the expensive hobbies.>>98120062She's from Tumblr what can I say. My vocabulary is not really up to modern chan standards any more.
>>98120046Modern /tg/ would throw fits over the board culture of the 2008-2013 era. Understandably too, cause that's old as fuck and so are the users from them.
>>98120115The good old days of /totally gay/
Well congrats I suppose, always nice to hear that someone's doing well. Always wondered if you ever got around to painting some of those super intricate conversions you posted here back in the day, I can't remember seeing many painted examples floating around.Made me think that I should finally just block this place and move on myself, I've been lurking here far too long with nothing to show for it.
>>98120182Sadly no, I've been hoping to sell most of the old stuff and keep a few personal favourites, but it's a bit hard to offload this many models. And I put the last several years into drawing rather than painting so I'm still not nearly good enough to not botch all the paint jobs if I tried.
>>98120046Honestly a lot of people probably did. 4chan was just an extremely funny place to be late-00s/early-10s. It did have a different vibe that would be seen as cringe now, but lots of people came here.
>>98119867I assume the armor is for LARPing, but the detailing is great. Cool suit.
>>98120115Yeah, the newfags would call the old board culture reddit.
>>98120306Well yes, I don't have the durability for actual combat sport.>>98120379Oh absolutely. Old /tg/ memes would come off as deeply cringe at best these days.
>>98120379Objectively, by modern standards, it is reddit. Even reddit would call it reddit now.
>>98119867Oh hey blast from the past.Do you still keep that Hitler portrait?
>>98120514It's somewhere, probably in one of the moving boxes I never unpacked fully. The portrait of Gaben is in the guest room tho.
>>98119867>BrownCaring about that makes you as racists as those of us who are disgusted by it.The only reason to mention it is to get a reaction from it, the only reason to single it out for a reaction is racism.I almost pity the 'boon knowing she's a ragebait accessory to you and even in your race-traitor eyes she isn't an equal human.Almost.
>>98119867>Just wanted to let the surviving old guard know I'm not dead.Surviving old guard moved on from this place over a decade ago.
>>98119867>>98119949The King does a drive-by!Good fortune to you, Script.
>>98119949So /tg/ used to have oldfags who posted about their real life armours? And now the only thing this place has is the mentally ill spammers and the endless culture war? Man this sucks. I hate the fact that I wasn't here during the golden age of this place. Seeing how much this place has declined makes me wonder if there's a point in participating in it anymore.
>>98120895You occasionally get a gold nugget among a sea of shit.
>>98120895It was more than 16 years ago anon. They weren't oldfags then.
>>98120572gaaay
>>98119867Cool shit. Good on you, Scriptarius, it's nice to see another oldfag.
>>98120895It was a fairly standout board even back then. There was that one famous screencap of someone saying>what do I even need the other boards forfor a reason. But even then for every good thread and beloved general we had ten ELF SLAVE WHAT DO spam threads so it wasn't some kind of perfect golden age.Not that there's much going back to that given the sheer shift in the nature of online discourse. If twitter looks like old 4chan I can only presume 4chan has since had to move further out to compensate. Alas. It was nice just having neckbeards doing yes-and style improv meme lore building.
>>98121224I would take 10 elf slaves what do threads over what this board has become now man>PhotoYou look exactly like the mental image I would have of a Paladin from Terry Pratchett's Discworld. And I don't know why.
Newfag here whos this guy?
>>98120379They would be right, because reddit exists downstream of 4chan even now.
>>98121224It's been rough here. COVID mindbroke a lot of people and caused the schizo population to skyrocket, and earlier this year when the site got hacked and went down for like a month a bunch of the posters who were sane enough to survive on other sites just left and never came back. The state of /tg/ in particular at that point was already bad enough that you can barely even see the hack on the population graph.Personally, I've decided to go down with the ship.
>>98121224Look at that handsome chap!
>>98121294Overtly ornate, kinda fat and dopey. Yeah feels fitting.>>98121348old news e-celeb. I used to make goofy 40k models out of gingerbread and frequented kitbashing threads.>>98121510dang zoomers and their tikky toks and total war warhammers not spending enough money on plastic crap and trying to break 3.5E or whatever it was we used to do. Draw chaos cultists as anime girls? Draw primarchs as anime girls? Draw tyranids as anime girls?
>>98121348Google 'Scriptarius'.One of the standout old posters who kitbashed primarchs and the emperor before it was cool, and created the real Breadnought (immortalized in early fan translations of Wakfu) and later, the Bread Titan.
>>98121510>Personally, I've decided to go down with the ship.You, too?I love the board, but I could weep for how it used to be, even with turbo faggots like Verity and that one other faggot whose name I can't remember.There was that oldfag who was a twink with a big dick, but was very sickly. He said he would be lucky to make it to 30. He was 22. I still think of him sometimes.
>>98121547I actually was considering getting back into models briefly to try and make an Emperor out of that... big Stormcast Eternal guy with the halo wings whose name I forget because I never actually played age of sigmar
>>98121543eh didn't mean to call you fat. you look suave. maybe every man should strive to have his own personal full plate armor. out of curiosity, is real full plate or a replica you made?
I was actually wondering what happened to you like a week ago, now that I think about it.
>>98121543>Draw chaos cultists as anime girls? Draw primarchs as anime girls? Draw tyranids as anime girls?Draw CHAOS GODS as ANIME GIRLS!!!
>>98121563>I never actually played age of sigmarWho has?Hell, I've used the models for great kitbashes for Trench Crusade.
>>98121561>There was that oldfag who was a twink with a big dick, but was very sickly. He said he would be lucky to make it to 30. He was 22. I still think of him sometimes.I had totally forgotten about Blackheart.
>>98121624Blackheart!Goddamn, I had forgotten his name.Him and Wasteland Warrior used to have... surreal threads.
>>98119867>twink deathTragic.I'm a zoom so I wasn't around when you were here but I think it's a nice sentiment to drop a message like this. Godspeed.
>>98121569That suit was commissioned off a smith for about 4k, though I have a few other cheaper larp sets I use as decor. The set I'm making myself is just some cheap-ass steel because I'm still practicing. It's not worth showing off.On the side I did also decide to try 3d printing some armor which has been an interesting experience. Much lighter, nicer to wear on a day to day basis. Fun to take to the office.And don't worry I straight up used to be fat as fuck until recently. The armor hides it well but I was like 105kg back when I took those last fall.>>98121614Man I saw trench crusade offhandedly and genuinely wondered if it was a real thing or an elaborate shitpost made for a bit>>98121594>Draw random anime things as 40k
>>98120572>it's racist to love brown girlsOh my god. I'm a racist...
>>98121710I kinda dived in to it on sight.Got a local crew.I, as a black muslim, of course went Iron Sultanate.The jew in our crew went Black Grail.We mock each other endlessly lol.
>>98121224A really beautiful harness, but I shudder at the idea of trying to keep all those ingravings rust free. Please say it's stainless steel or aluminium.
>>98121721I reckon it is stainless, from the shine.
>>98121657>tells one good story>adopts a tripcode based on it>proceeds to do nothing but get drunk and post photos of his ballsWW was an odd duck.>>98121717Them's the rules.
>>98121710>suit was commissioned off a smith for about 4kwtf, you're a loaded nerd. how can i get 4k for my own personal armor? can i get there if i sell weed in the suburbs?
>>98121721as the other anon guessed it's stainlessif I had fuck you money I'd get one in titanium but alas that's a little beyond what I can reasonably call a sane financial decision. My one real complaint is that the thing is fucking heavy even without chainmail so wearing it for any extended period is a workout.Have a WIP shot of the plastic set>>98121752Probably? I mostly just have nothing I spend money on except my nerd shit. No car, loans paid off, etc. And I lucked into a job at... a subsidiary of a company that rhymes with Nega and have held onto it tooth and nail for years to keep the income steady.>>98121720Lel, I, of course, immediately went and looked into Hakkapeliittas
>>98121657He and WW are probably both legitimately dead by now.
>>98119949>gingerperor >>98121811Here's an idea - how about some gingerbread thing for TC? Like a diorama or one of those tank-churches. Gingerbread making used to have spiritual component to it, being initially baked by monks with honey, herbs, and spices imbuing it with protective/healing properties. It would be pretty much on brand. >>98123184For all we know Blackheart's plan to find a rich boyfriends and become his fulltime stay-at-home housewife/cumdump might have actually worked.
>>98123383That might be a neat project indeed. Been a while since I baked by now. Maybe once I assess the damage to ol' gingerperor I'll let /tg/ decide how to decorate it
>>98121510>Personally, I've decided to go down with the ship.This place objectively sucks ass now but I'll be damned if I voluntarily check in to the pronoun prisons of the rest of this hobby.
>>98121510>went down for like a monthI tried to find another place. There just isn't. The internet is a wreck, and everywhere else I've seen there are power-tripping fags and passive-aggressive assholes that make actual discussion impossible. Anonimity is required, but 4chan is the last place that actually has it.
>>98124669I missed a decade of action, does /tg/ still at least do fun little creative projects like we used to? Deep rot, weird little fan codexes, oneshot world building etc? Surely it can't all be /v/ tier arguing.
>>98121348an annoying namefag
>>98124778>Surely it can't all be /v/ tier arguing.It's actually worse than /v/ now.Do you remember some of the old drawfags like Big-D, Chink, Decu, or JoPereira?
>>98124778>I missed a decade of action, does /tg/ still at least do fun little creative projects like we used to?No. In fact all of that stuff would get you nogames and "what game? what system?" spammed.
>>98120379Nah. It still had too much chan culture embedded in the DNA, even for old (much less awful) pre 2015 reddit. It was a very weird and fun time.
>>98124778Expedition agartha is pretty cool and there's an occasional gem, but mostly people spam and then complain about spam until it devolves into culture war stuff.
>>98119867>Makes armour>LBFM GFYou sound based anon
>>98124778We have like 4 retards dedicated to trying to ruin the board for whatever godforsaken reason and the creatives moved elsewhere. /tg/ hasn't been the best place to talk about tabletop games for a long long time now.
>>98124778We still do creation threads; whether it's a space marine Chapter, a Forge World, or even an entire Sub-Sector.
>>98119867If you want, you can look at the /tg/ archives and see the threads that anons have saved over the years:https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.htmlalso fuck 4chan for blocking my IP range "due to abuse". I'M NOT ABUSING!!
>>98124778People are trying to be creative but currently there's a secret discord/shadow group trying to bent the board to their wills and a group or inactive mods who never ban them.
Scriptarius rings a bell, scripty?That reminds me, who built made the pepparkaka (gingerbread) titan?Some rich finnish guy living in a house with wallpaper from the 40's?Fabricator something.

>>98125384>this nigga don't knowWould have had an aneurysm seeing Golden Neckbeard.Remembering too many of the oldfags now.
