Do you guys ever get the feeling that this board is mostly shilling? Some days, like today, when it's very obvious I wonder how many of you are here to talk about video games and how many of you are paid to sell me video games.
Always feels like the opposite>Popular game? BAD
>Say i like a gamesI'm a chill>Say i don't like itI'm a snoy/eric/anti/tranny
/v/ is weird because you're a shill if you want to talk about a game. But if you wanna spam porn, gacha, wojaks, political bait, social media screencaps, frogs and AI its board culture and should be encouraged on a minutely basis. Then you have threads like these or others complaining about how /v/ is going downhill, from the same people who are killing it or are apathetic to its current destruction. Finally they'll forget about any of this and just continue business as usual until the cycle repeats ad-nauseam. Theres mental illness and then theres the bleak void of anti-intellectualism that /v/ embraces and I'm trying to understand why everyone is like this?
>>732356489To me it feels like:>Popular game?>not really popular but if I keep saying it's popular that will somehow make it so
You can still get some good discussion when a new game comes out, because chances are a few anons genuinely played it. The discussions are good for a thread or two but the honesty dissipates after that. Double edged sword of anonymity.
>>732356820The April Fools event from several years ago added flags to every poster.All of the absolute worst and most retarded posts I saw were all third worlders, ESLs, and Canadians.That was over half a decade ago, just slightly before this board became just another side of Twitter. Imagine how bad it is now.
>>732356375People prefer spamming hate threads to legitimately enjoying something. You know when people are being insincere, some people just legitimately like things
>>732356375You simply had to be here last year with all the E33 threads as proof /v/ is a shilling overdrive tool. They don't have to pay their existing social media employees any extra to come up with creative shitposting on this board to drive the narrative about games. In fact they probably hire mercenaries for cheap.
>>732359921To this very day anytime I ask:>who are the characters in E33>what is the plot of E33>describe the music of E33>what do you LIKE about E33To anyone shilling it they just go :"brown, you don't get it brown brown brown!" Hell I once had some tag me 5 times to post some AI porn of whoever the fuck the ugly redhead girl is.
>>732356375qwark
>>732357181It’s essentially this. Non-Americans and ESLs don’t have the same sense of humor as Americans but for some reason they come here and demand attention from us in any case.Ah, well. Expecting /v/ to have decent discussion more than 1% of the time is a fool’s errand.
>>732360182i dont think youre brown, i think youre a tranny
>>732356820Yeah>>732357181>Imagine how bad it is now.Yeah...>>732360182>"brown"I have "Why don't you like fat nigresses? You're /pol/!" fatigue
>>732356375No, it’s just trolls, retards, and autists. The paranoia about shilling is really just narcissism, the belief that you and your opinion are important enough to manipulate.
The fable shit recently was blatant
>>732356375At this point i dont care if someone is a shill as long as it sparks game discussion.
>Do you guys ever get the feeling that this board is mostly shilling?nigga its this whole website and the internet, brown internet theory
>>732356375If a game is good why would it matter if you bought it because someone was paid to tell you it was good?This is the /v/ equivalent of women when they go "does he love me or does he love the idea of me?"
>YOU'RE A JEET>WELL YOU'RE A JEW>OK TRANNY >BROWN HANDS TYPED THIS>HAVE SEX >POST BODY Ok fine let's piss on everything that makes this place good and let's all how down to the karma/rep/handsome ripped profile imagine user I actually wish ai could skin you all alive,why can't you fuck off to those forums??
>>732356489it feels like every single decently popular game that has occasional threads gets at least one resident schizophrenic that acts like that specific game killed their parents and fucked their wife so they become dedicated to flooding every thread they can
>>732356375This entire board is shills, trannies and retarded reddit users so take your pick at which is the most obnoxious at any given time.
>>732357181I specifically remember the breakdown being>Nearly 100% of console wars bullshit posters were Brazilians>95%+ of political bullshit culture wars posters were Canadians>Every single person arguing a clearly wrong point and refusing to back down or resorting to spamming had a third world flagIt was literally just Americans, Europeans, Australians, and a smattering of other flags from developed countries that were on-topic. I remember Canada being specifically bizarre because they were the singular developed country that was just constantly posting off-topic bullshit and it was almost entirely political in nature.
>>732364723And that is just a cherry on top of the brainwashed pedonazis yelling woke fail blunder at every game ever.
I did not want to reveal myself but... well, I have some free time.So yes, it is ME, /v/! I am the developer of every single indie game ever created, as well as all those AA games you have not personally heard of.Ask me any goddamn thing.
>>732356489This
>>732368017any good game yet?
>>732367495I wonder what the deal is with consolewar spammers.The mental illness and retardation you need to have to be arguing about which shitbox is better in current year is astounding.You think brazilian gangs have proxy wars on /v/?
>>732356820blue /b/ is real
