Anyone here old enough to remember Ace of Spades?Where did all the fanart go? I'm trying to find it but it's nowhere online apparently...This gif is all that's left, apparentlyPost more if you have it, thanks
bump for op
I've only got that gif and this here on my compute
>>738561138
I had a grsat time with it on /v/. Felt like real ww1 warfare with the organic formation of trenches and tunneling. Nothing's scratched that itch sinceI remember all the complaining that the devs ruined the game by listening to reddit, but the old ver servers hosted here were always fun for a while after
>>738560818I fapped to this gif when I was 16 and now I’m 29.
>>738560818I boughted this on steam back in the day but apparently it's the enshittified version of the game
>>738560818Yeah they just renamed it because Jagex bought it. https://www.buildandshoot.com/For fan art try the /v/booru.
>>738561138If the mods were still cool, they'd give you a public ban for this.
Does anyone have>NO!>WE BUILD>>738561429You are literally me
>>738561514>/v/booruI thought this was nuked!
>>738560818I do but only played a bit because had shit tier internet at the timeI miss mario royale more ;_;
>>738561429How is it even possible to jerk off to it?
>>738561540he's dead now jim
>>738561630Because big ass?
>>738561564Just the SS13 versions.
>>738561323
>>738561695
>>738560818Where the origin of said gif is from
>>738561802
>>738560818
>>738560818Yeah. I liked building stuff and digging. I especially liked when I could make whole structures or parts of the map go poof.
>>738561865
>>738561937
>>738561865>>738561813>>738561937Where are you finding these? Did you have them saved or are they somewhere online?
>>738561692I mean there must have been 1000 sexier images around. If you for some reason only had that gif I guess it could be possible...
>>738562042based on the filenames, he likely had them saved
>>738562048it's the smile and her patriotism for the glory of Blue. I love a woman who digs tunnels and massacres filthy Greens.
I remember when green and blue gave up fighting and we leveled the entire fucking map for fun. That was peak tism about 14? or something years ago. I've been on 4chan for like 21 years what the fuck man
>>738560818I still have this shit savedone day this will become lost knowledge
I will continue the tradition of drawing the ace of spade girls
>>738562168I have a few of these I can actually find in my picture folder
>>738562332Its mostly pictures of stefanie joosten though, god i fucking love her
green supremacy
>>738560818i played this a lot but all i did was try to topple the mountains
>>738561428>Felt like real ww1 warfare with the organic formation of trenches and tunneling>devs ruined the gameI never played this so what actually happened and how was it so bad that it killed the game.is it like a subscription / microtransaction p2w thing now or did they gut building or something else?
There used to be a server up every year for the week of Christmas, but it stopped a few years ago because a dedicated autist started DDoSing them
>>738562749They sold the game to Jaxex who did this to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhTZPrtoHZ4
>>738560818Here's something from my AoS folder.
>>738561428That moment when you're digging and suddenly you hear someone else digging near you, both of you stop, and then start cautiously digging again
Man I miss when drawfags actually existed, thanks AI.
>>738563081It's less AI and more new drawfags aren't coming to 4chan anymore.
>>738563004another one.
>>738563163god such a shame what the game ended up turning into would have been interesting if instead the game embraced being WW1 and you got things like stationary machineguns, mines, reinforced blocks and maybe artillery
Fuck, I am old. 4chan really is different now
>>738562838aw man is that what happened? those were comfy ass winter memories
I remember when I discovered you can use cheat engine for ammo and set up a mouse macro to fire 10 times per click.
>>738563081It's not AI's fault, it's the increase in monetization schemes. Why would you post your crap FOR FREE on 4chan when you could be paywalling it behind a Patreon subscription and get $50 for every mediocre image you draw
>>738563603idk, for fun? do people not do fun anymore?
>>738561564Of course.
>>738563686
>>738563752Arigato
>>738562749Original game was a solo project by some guy on an ancient engineThe oldest versions people play had one weapon, the rifle. The rifle could kill from far away but didn't have a high rate of fire, and building creates a defender's advantage, so running straight at the enemy never worked. Combined with the buildable world, this spawned all kinds of cat-and-mouse games between forts, enemies trying to crack the forts, and defenders countering the enemy tacticsAs an example. You can try and hide the intel by burying it underground. Well, they can see it on the map, so you might build fake intel markers to throw them off. But someone on the other team can still dig to it. But you can dig the intel to the lowest level, then dig around it, and station guards like it's a killbox. But then the enemy can dig behind them, or above them and drop grenades. But that's defeated if you dig a canyon around where you buried the intel, which is a massive team project... but maybe the enemy shoots out the base of your intel tower and now it's a big pit. Well then you build a tower to hold the intel up, so they can't just run in and grab it. But that's too easy to break down so you need extra supports on the tower. Or multiple towers. Walls around the tower. Holes in the walls to catch sappers sneaking behind them. Collapsing the whole continent your enemy built all their walls on. Etc, etc...The original map generator usually put mountains on one side, lower land on the other, and waterways inbetween. Green spawned on one side and blue on the other. This organically led to the formation of team identities, where blue were typically diggers and used trenches and bunkers caved out of mountains, while the greens were builders making giga autism forts and spiderweb mazes.This all happened accidentally. The game got sold and the original game was effectively deleted and it became a generic shooter with blocks on shitty fixed maps copying other shooters. Died fast.
>>738562170Anti soul strat. Real greens build castles for their intel. Blues don't know what intel is.
>>738563907I miss my vietcong tunnel systems in the cliffs overlooking green base.
>>738563907one of the biggest sins the retail version did was give everyone explosives and the ability to easily destroy blockswhat made the game interesting was that it was not that easy to destroy something that was built, and wide-scale destruction also wasn't common unless a team spent effort to undermine an entire god damn mountainthere was something honestly amazing about a lategame map with all kinds of ruins and remnants of past battles being around, not to mention all the tunnels that were dug and then forgotten about
For me it's Hallway
I used to occasionally host a server on my dialup connection that filled up. It was always a blast until v0.54 or something, when they changed how the rifle worked.
>>738563907>>738564248Danke anons. I only saved >>738563004>>738560818 in a similar thread reminiscing about this game, a long time ago. Didn't get the full context except that it was a soulful build-shooter. Is there a classic version available to play?Also threads like this make me wonder if 4chan still retains the spirit Moot described, where it is all ephemeral and you had to be there. Archive sites cast that skepticism but then again many things like this game are lost to time. I wonder if any anons with the vast amount of files and knowledge will ever make a history of 4chan project. A tall order.
Is there a way to still play the original? I wouldn't mind hosting a few games
>>738561525
>>738564712we're on computers of course, we can do literally anything we want
>>738560818Is it weird I've unironicly used the shotgun?
>>738562042Im not finding them, my dear anon. I was there, in the trenches, building castles and tunnels, and in the threads saving memories.
>>738564712probably what you mean by original but I just ran around in .75 with blockandshoot launcher
>>738565608put "depends by" in there because I forgot to
>>738560818this game was great. it's a shame they ruined it with the SMGs and shit and the cheating fags
>>738562048When you're a dumb teen and you get a boner from a random gif, sometimes you just commit. It's not really that deep.
>>738560818It's a shame this game got fucking ruined by Jagex.
>>738560818I remember playing this back in the day, and I thought this game was much cooler when it was just the default gen map with nothing but the rifle and a silhouette for your sights. The custom maps could be cool, but a lot of servers just played absolute garbage like pinpoint or hallway.
>two of us tunneling a zigzag through a mountain> leave spiderholes for blue buddies to shoot through>create false hills to keep digging>almost on the green side>break a block>two green faces staring at me in the darkness of the tunnel>they were digging a tunnel too>blast them dead>block up our tunnel and create side tunnels from their tunnel to eacape and block those too>keep digging in enemy territory
>>738564595>I wonder if any anons with the vast amount of files and knowledge will ever make a history of 4chan project.It sort of existshttps://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Bibliotheca_Anonoma>>738564712Sure, this is 0.5.4https://mega.nz/file/tEoH2SJS#dVFHuf64NugPmxnFO2H5TqFzIqL-fqA0yKxetRDqnRkThere's a bunch of old stuff in the .vxl folder including some saved maps from ancient /v/ games. Pic related.I forgot how to generate the code to connect to your IP, so I included a little readme explaining that and a registry key that lets you open aos:// links. I think normally there was an installer that added that? The openspades launcher should install one too if you don't want to merge a registry key from 4chan
rate my intel defense
>>738567519damn I forgot about the camo bridges
>>738567548A blue's got your intel
I looked making little foxholes connects by tunnelsDoes anyone remember that map where it was literally two triangles interceding into a point like >< but surrounded by ocean? That was my favourite
>>738560818didn't it get bought by jagex and then basically turned into a different game? i remember looking at the version that was released on steam and it looked nothing like the free version from earlier
>>738567519You convert your ip address into an integer and throw the aos:// at the start
>>738560818There are remade clients for the game, I played on some like a year ago but pretty much every server is empty
I didn't know his game had memes.Yeah that's a fucking throwback OP. Last played March 2013.Is it... good. Should I play it again.
>>738571658The game is dead
>>738560818God that makes me feel oldI have some but I wouldn't be able to find it for the life of me
>>738560818Played with /v/ at Christmas time
>>738560818Does she have a name?Need to bust to her.
yeah I used to be in these threads.but I had even more fun playing this with my friends. we were enough people to reliably just votekick people out of our team we didn't like.we still used fucking skype Back then to game lol
Playing this with /v/ before /pol/ was reinstated was a gift like no other. Back then /v/ was so different. Even games like battlefield 3 and Deus Ex human revolution made nods at /v/ back then
>>738562749The game was fun, but the formula was simple and it got old, they tried spicing it up, but the magic wasn't there.
I'm not 100% sure if I should tell /v/ this but you guys know OpenSpades exists rightIt even still has like, about enough players to have one game going at a time most of the time. It's still really fun.
>>738560818https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/image/BLDrF0HWt95odz%2Fuue%2FMbQ%3D%3D/page/6/Knock yourself out. I checked a dozen random pics in the oldest thread and only got one 404.
>>738573348
Remember playing one of those nature like maps that had hills and mountains and fake water as the bottom ground, on green side one intel spawned on the middle of a V shaped valley and my brain instantly connected the dots you can right click and make a single line with all your blocks at once, so i did the unthinkable i made a giant hoover dam to hide and defend the intel, didn't took long before other greens caught on the idea and started building such abomination of like 4-5 floors with big walls the only real weakness was digging a hole from the mountain on the side or just running straight from the top of said mountain because we stopped at mountain top too, then we made a helipad for the intel too to make it harder to rush it, lmao.

>join server>make as many camo pitfall traps as possible>leave serverGood times
>>738566697Fuck Jagex
It was fun back then.I remember quitting because grifters would simply switch team and destroy your fort.
>>738567909>make a bait bridge>have an extensive camo bunker with a secondary bunker to hide in, internal cover, pitfalls, secret exit, and fake soldiers>noone ever comes close to it

>>738564429>make a sniper nest on the distant wall>spawn kill the enemy team until you get kickedGood times.
What would you guys add to an AoS clone without having it lose the simplicity that made it so good?
I love this gameWhy did the official version fail horribly?
>>738561429>>738560818it reminds me of the old flash animator Vinnie Veritas.
>>738561525Old /v/ comics hit so good. They don't make them like they used to.Why did this place lose its sense of humor? Is it old age after all?
>>738578079/v/ became filled with third worlders whose sense of comedy is just different and centered around gacha memes.
>>738575196https://litter.catbox.moe/nl4g88.png
>>738561525lmao
>>738578079>Why did this place lose its sense of humor? Is it old age after all?Moot didn't stop /pol/ from becoming Stormfront back in 2016, and a combo of newfags inflooding from there, The Fappening, the increasing online ease of access in developing countries and via mobile phones, the conglomerization of internet websites into just a few massive ones that everyone's shoved into, and the development of large language model AIs, especially with a new generation that's not used to doing things themselves and instead asking the computer to do it for them.So as a result half the OC nowadays is AI-generated slop, the other half nostalgia from when things weren't as shit, and those same sets of websites turn into content farms and distribution centers where memes are regurgitated and transferred over, again and again and again.
>>738578749They're gonna get mad but you're right, 2016 is when things became soulless because a bunch of normalfag right wingers realised they could say nigger and faggot here without being banned and thought that's literally all they should post.
>>738575596>no protection against dynamic IPs so you could fuck over people and come back four minutes later
>>738575196>>738578538nice
>>738578749>elmer_fudd_im_starting_to_get_sad.jpg
I don't have the original anymore, but this used to be my spray.
>>738578749>Moot didn't stop /pol/ from becoming Stormfront back in 2016Faggot newfag nigger lol if you think this place died in 2016 lmao stop kidding yourself.
>>738579407Oldfags always said anything post 08' was extreme cancer but everyone who's actually been posting here that long knows that the site wasn't really that bad until 2016 and after. Post COVID is corpse desecration era./b/ is the main example, that board is absolutely fucked now but even all the way up until election tourist open season there used to be at least some quality posting. Even the porn posting has gone downhill with about 10 threads of 45 year old weirdos who don't know anything about 4chan culture posting pictures of 20 year old women they work with and jacking off up at any given time, only outflooded by logposting from the same guy who's been doing it for years.
>>738560818I discovered 4chan at age 12 and I'm 29 nowI use it far less but the site is an unusable wasteland and the majority of the userbase just comes here from reddit or twitter or whatever to post something racist and get it out of their system.Only us ancient faggots who discovered this site at an unfortunately young age still care to post anything of value here. I
>>738578749I remember when phoneposters were mocked.That and GG was the beginning of the end.YOU SOLD US OUT TO EPSTEIN, MOOTI HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL
>>738578538damn that's good art
>>738579407It did because culture largely stagnated and froze at about that time. We're still in an eternal 2016. Time has stopped, and is slowly degrading. I hear music on the radio and it's from the 80's, which was FORTY fucking years ago. Lockdown was six years ago, and little has changed since. We're not going anywhere anymore. We're just getting older.
>>738560818Guys i'm sorry to say this but i never heard about this game before this thread...
>>738561428>but the old ver servers hosted here were always fun for a while afterYeah, they died when the usual server host got kicked out of his mom's basement and couldnt host anymore (I'm not making this up), then the host that took over (Potato I think his name was) did it for a couple years holding down the Christmas Tradition, then he just vanished and ppl stopped making threads. Some newfag came in around covid, hosted a really laggy server on the wrong version, community got split, autists argued and in the end everyone ended up quitting over it. No-one's really made AoS threads since then or if they do, its at like 3am on a fucking Wednesday night or something on the wrong map/version.
>>738579556Literally me except 28.I often wonder if I am how I am due to major exposure to this site throughout my most important developmental years.Anyway there's basically no sense of community left on this site it feels, which is sad because I love making classic OC and posting it for people but no one ever appreciates it anymore and nothing propagates,>>738579680That is because you are a newfag, I'm sorry. But you can always be a based newfag instead of a retarded one.
>>738579541i admire logposter's tenacityI genuinely think /b/ is just a fed honeypot because most of it is blatantly revenge porn and I've read about multiple people IRL getting arrested for posting revenge porn to /b/.>>738578749Honestly a lot of the electionfags left, I think its possible to rebuild from the ashes but most of the people who care are too old and busy to do it. I myself post here like once a month at most just for old time's sake. It's ultimately not worth trying to rebuild 4chan, just doesn't exist in the same world and its reputation as the edgy racist website means we could be overtaken by the same flock of tourists at any moment.
>>738565608Original he means 0.54 or w/e the Main version was. Later versions are considered newfag shit.
>niggers whining about /pol/>every aos map had a mandatory swastika2012 was the point of no return.
>>738579723>you can always be a based newfag instead of a retarded one.i will do my best to become one!
>>738578749This. Also 2015~2023 was hit really hard by people stealing OC to monetize it on other sites, so most anons stopped posting. Shit was bad knowing that even a mildly interesting greentext story would end up on some faggot's "Best of 4chan #43" weekly Youtube compilation with patreon donation links attached.
>>738579737Admire isn't the term I'd use but it's certainly impressive how someone can be so dedicated to something so fucking stupid.>>738579787The fact that you don't understand the difference between a big server where everyone was playing together anonymously and why in that context making a big fat swastika in game would be at somewhat funny, versus someone just textposting all day about their dogshit politics in every single thread and it being 90% of their contribution to the board tells me everything I need to know you stupid faggot.
>>738560818I remember playing this with /v/ in 2012 when the whole mayan calendar thing was going on. Fun times.Blue > Green
>>738579830>Shit was bad knowing that even a mildly interesting greentext story would end up on some faggot's "Best of 4chan #43" weekly Youtube compilation with patreon donation links attached.I was thinking recently about the guy who originally posted the backrooms greentext and image on /x/ and how some 19 year old who just lifted that idea entirely to make it completely not scary and remove all intrigue by overexplaining everything and adding scribbly line monsters is now set for life and will be worshipped by zoomer culture as a seminal director.Imagine how that feels. God.
>>738579787idk in 2012 I was 15 so maybe I was too young but all of the racism and swatstikas and shit felt much more ironic. Like we'd draw swatstikas because it was edgy and offensive but there wouldn't be people unironically arguing about the merits of Hitler, although I guess that kind of behavior attracts those people over time. /pol/ is such a loaded topic because its not like 4chan has ever not constantly said nigger but it just didn't really have a political leaning. Like we'd raid habbo as nigras and stand in swatstika formation while accusing the mods of being racist for banning us, literally all just for fun. If you search the archives from like 2008 there's people who attempt making political threads and they either get no replies or people saying "why make this in the video games board?" with genuine bewilderment. I'm scared after making some post some faggot will come in and be all like "look at all the WOKE GARBAGE you get when you DONT POST ABOUT POLITICS" but those kind of people are exactly why you cant gatekeep them out, we used to be able to gatekeep out of 4chan by flaming them if they didn't fit in, but people who waste time arguing about politics online get off on arguing and making people they disagree with angry. Not engaging also doesn't work since a lot of them are near borderline schizophrenic and would argue with a wall, or are just genuine actual propaganda bots and not even real humans posting.
>>738579972He said he doesnt really care about the IP. But he does want original credit.
>>738579995I didn't even realise he was a known quantity who was able to give his opinion on it so that's good at least. I just assumed as it was posted anonymously he would forever live with the knowledge he started all this yet could never prove it.
>>738579989>'m scared after making some post some faggot will come in and be all like "look at all the WOKE GARBAGENah you just sound like a faggot who wants to be sheltered.
>>738579737>I think its possible to rebuild from the ashesInto what? You're right that it's not the same world anymore. People with talent have so many avenues to share their OC on platforms that will actually gain them a following and make them money. The internet's no longer just the silly place to have a good time, unfortunately.>>738579972I watched a YouTube video of an interview of that guy, allegedly. Basically, he said he's fine with it. And he only used a short portion of the interview to promote his horror book, so I'm inclined to believe it.
>>738579830Content farmers have done horrific damage to /tg/ over the last decade.
>>738580017If you hear him talk you can 100% confirm it was him that wrote it. His username is Black August.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMeB-D9N-NI
there’s a leaked build with machine guns, rocket launchers, and vehicles (helicopters) that was ditched right before Jagex acquired it, but it’s buggy and prone to crashingI wonder if someone could fix it with claude code or something similar
>>738580090>Black AugustName goes hard.He sounds like quite a relaxed guy and that makes me feel a little better knowing he's not miserable about his work being appropriated and catapulting someone else to superstardom, definitely a more level headed person than I am because I would be forever malding. I'm also getting the impression from his voice he's a bit on the older side, probably a true oldfag which aligns with what I'd expect even if it was only in '19 he actually made the post.
>>738560818By sheer coincidence I was in the UK (from Australia) during the height of Ace of Spades and it was amazing actually having players in a nearby server of some niche game for onceI spent a lot of time writing "NIGGER" and making swastikas big enough to appear on the mapGood times
>>738580221Yeah I thought his name was really cool too, and I would be seething like crazy too. lol But the only things I post that are mines are my game sprites and drawings on here so own ownership of those.
>>738580212forgot the linkhttps://archive.org/details/aos-opengl
>>738579879>textposting all day about their dogshit politics in every single thread and it being 90% of their contributionThats not /pol/ though. Its all the braindead tourists/wojak/pepe poster that were attracted to 4chan because of gamergate and trump.You this shit like it came from /pol/ despite the fact /pol/ itself is the biggest victim of this influx.There is a reason infinity waa better, because shitters actually got banned despite the entire website having way more extreme views.4cuck cultivated the rabid shitters and because of it the abomination that is sharty was birthed.
>>738579737Rebuild how lol, the current incarnation of the site is absolutely manufactured and intended by the indian nigger grapeape
>>738580319Go back to your pedo shithole, Mark
2016 was the final nail in the coffin
>>738580552It had issues too but it was vastly superior. Everyone hated the jewcy cake kike and imkampfy.
There's nothing stopping you from putting up a server
Reminder that the new captcha makes it even easier to report offtopic shit and that the mods do stop sucking cocks long enough to ban derailing tourists every once in a while.
>spending entire rounds building myself a comfy tiny sniper's nest of only a few blocks and just chillin' and snipin'Good times
>>738580716He loves money and certain agencies have money.
>>738579737> I think its possible to rebuild from the ashesI can name off 20 things right now that you would need to implement to improve this site and even that will accelerate the sites death at the benefit of improved quality. This place is a cultural and tonal wasteland.
>>738579830Anyone who says anything but this is yelling a boogiemanThe youtube and reddit content farms are what brought retards here to engage for "4CHAN SAYS"Like when the zoo gets a new animal They all go gawk at it
>>738580768>derailingNobody is posting a server so anons can play and the conversation gradually ended up here.
People always make this
Honestly I didnt care for the default maps. The best shit was on a prebuilt map with structures. The server starts with a cozy town and a forest and then you notice youve been playing for 6 hours straight and the map has become a hellscape of broken building, makeshift supports and defenses in the still standing buildings, forest is gray and desolate and the streets are riddled with holes and broken walls.
>>738581094
>>738580823I still don't understand why youtube has managed to avoid getting flak from anons for so long, that shit site is probably the biggest reason on why modern internet is a cesspool filled with insufferable retards, at the very least 4chan, reddit and even fucking twitter require reading and writing skills of a 3rd grader to properly engage with the platform, meanwhile youtube is what started the enshittification of everything, almost every retard on planet Earth started thiking of themselves as geniuses after waching to 4 hours of redpill videos and some TED scam talks, then Tiktok brainrot corrupted the younger generations and now even AI somehow finds and destroys what little intelligence we have left, we can't rebuild anything until the collective internet IQ stops lingering below double digits, which will never happen since smartphones has become a commodity>TLDR: retards ruined everything again and we were too late to notice it
ace of spades threads were the first posts i made to this site, i miss it so much. i cant believe its already been 8 years
>>738560818Reminder you can set up schedules on GamedateThere is a thread on /vm/
>>738581641I was too late to the AoS party so now I'm stuck huffing copium in the Finals since it's the best game to fuck around in a fun destructive environment sandbox It's still inferior to what we had though, I will never forgive Jagex

>>738579989actual schizophrenics posting in every relevant thread for literally the past 10 years straight has ruined a lot of interaction for me. It doesn't matter if you report, or fight back, or ignore, they just keep fucking posting.
>>738566697Man, I played this game when I was like 11. Tried replaying when I was 16 but the game was so different from my memory I just had to wonder if I got the name of game wrong or if my dumbass 11 year old brain just remembered incorrectly. Nope, turns out the game just got bought and changed, whoopdiedoo
>>738575196Repost please
>>738582038You are delusional if you think people didnt believe their own shitposting even to a small degree.
>>738582430People didn't take things as seriously and were scholars of the live and let live philosophy. They also could lend an ear to diverging opinions and properly debate. Nu-/v/ is a crab bucket filled with retards coming from normie websites targeting each other instead of figuring out how to leave the bucket. The bot/ai infestation isn't helping.
>>738560818I had a lot of fun in that game back in the day!

>>738562048Sometimes its nit the artstyle thats appealing, its other factors. There's an artist I like and his artstyle isnt that great but her portrays situations I like in ways I wish better artists did.
>>738584360there's something appealing about messy artstyles. Like, I know they're not good, and sometimes they lack proper shading, and the lines are all crooked, but I just like some of them better than all the professional stuff

>>738585412 #I'm past my prime/current PC so shit it is good only for bureaucracy.

>>738596585Growing up with 4chan is a lot better than growing up with twitter and tiktok. Simply knowing everything can be bullshit here made you a lot more prepared for being source critical than anything with a user name attached to it. You're taught to deal with the content of each post instead of being influenced by who said it.
>>738596752>Simply knowing everything can be bullshit here made you a lot more prepared for being source critical than anything with a user name attached to it.Mayby, but I sure would have prefered to learn that without having to look at dickshitting, gore and other delights of 2010's /b/ at the ripe age of underageb&you win some, you lose some, I guess?
>>738596752not modern 4chaneveryone here is as feminine and gossipy and obsessed with social media as twitter was a few years ago
I really liked how the weapon was just a bit unreliable so a 2v1 was extremely hard to win, but if you held a good position you might make it out alive. The gravity physics were also cool, you could destroy towers by mining away the foundation but it was hard since placing blocks is instant and people can repair your destruction faster than you could do it.
>>738579989Ironic racism is still racism, dude. >but I was saying nigger ironically>I'm not actually racist teeheeThis is why doing things "ironically" and post-irony and all that crap flops hard. You're still saying racist shit and doing racist shit, even if you pretend to do so otherwise. Irony is a cope, so you can run behind that when people call you out on things. >but we didnt mean to You still did. Imagine explaining that to people. "Oh we did pools closed but we dindu nuffin wrong we were young and dumb." Cope. It's like how ironically pretending to be retarded is a retarded thing to do, or how ironic shitposting is still shitposting. The fact is, you did the racism, you feel some sort of troll's remorse (or most likely are just performatively disowning the racism) and now you want to inflict your bitchmode on us. Fuck off, ya cunt. Fucking tired of the "I was just being racist ironically, it's a joke you see, I'm very funny" crap. It's all cope.
i remember ace of spades threads but the game never clicked for me, it seemed like more minecraft autism for kids who couldn't afford TF2.
>>738579989Also, no one buys the "I'm not actually racist anymore" crap either. So you can stop using that.
this game taught me why foxholes are so strong. I'm not sure if that's the name but when you have a trench with a wall that has a small opening in it, someone outside on the surface can't see you but you can see their whole body. It made shooting the blocks to destroy them a viable strategy, the machine gun was good for that.
>>738578749It really is a shame. I really have nowhere to go after so many years, I don't want to post on fucking twitter
imagine ace of spades meets factorioyou build a factory to protect your intel with automated defenses and facilities to produce vehicles or more advanced weaponry. and having to extend your railway networks and logistics lines to secure resources in order to produce more advanced weapons and machinessounds like a fun game, don't it?
>>738599048Are you even envisioning this as a multiplayer game anymore though? Imagine working with the average deuce when trying to make a functional factory.
>>738599048>sounds like a fun game, don't it?can be implemented in Minecraft with modshell, factorio is just standalone version of IC2/Buildcraft, so half thw work is already available
>>738599228you just have to cut down on some flexibility and simplify the process so that any unorganized group of idiots can setup a semi-competent resource chain.
>>738599048That would require a mandatory [arbitrary timelimit in which you can get a reasonable production going] because otherwise one team would just win by zerging ungabunga caveman style while the other team is busy trying to set up a production line. Or both teams would try to zerg each other.
>>738598683Well good thing you weren't alive in 2012.
>>738599359I love the inherent connection between block autism and factory autism. Factorio is standalone IC2 because it was made on the IC2 forums. Minecraft itself descends from Infiniminer, a work of Zach Barth, who went on to make factory autism into a whole ass genre.
>>738560818I have a folder with some shit I saved.Had a lot of fun with this game when it was only /v/ playing it.
>>738560818i got some shit here lemme see if i have more
>>738560818Man I remember the emergent gameplay of making crosses on the map to make the enemy team not know where exactly the briefcase was.Fun times.Fuck I even bought the remake and played it for a while. Wasn't the same at all.
>>738560818I didn't see an AoS thread for Thanksgiving or Christmas last year, I thought it was finally dead. Are we hosting a lobby or just posting memberbarries? Here's my shitty art from 2019.>>738579830Out of morbid curiosity I've watched a few of these videos and what's funny to me is they are all fake. They aren't taking posts from a real thread, it's all made up bullshit.
I mean it was a fun game, but we can't keep playing the same games over and over again.People get bored of the same things after all.I think I have the original version installed in my harddrive somewhere, the version to make custom ips to create a server for anyone with the ip to join. Fuck finding it now tough, gotta get things ready for work tomorrow and I don't have the time to host. (Plus I want to play other things.)
>>738600575probably has something to do with digital legos being "systematic" with their grid'tists love their harmony
Here last post from me, I have more but I'm sure other anons have more art.
That's all I have.Thanks for the memory trip.
>>738563163My buddy made that for me. Here's the original clean mock I never posted.
I was there one million years ago.trippy looking at floor and so on
i used to make oc for these threads when i was jit a time a go. im in the server rn if someone joins
>>738598683fuck back to reddshit
>>738587662FOUR PEOPLE LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
Shout out to my homie stuck in the empty server with me. Sorry I got bored.
I remember playing blue and building blue guys buttfucking green guys just to piss the green faggots off. They would get so angry that they shoot to destroy the structure, revealing the location and promptly getting headshot.Good times.
>>738601463Now that it's gone I kinda miss the simple captcha. Amazing that 5 years ago nobody thought we would get this good AI.
>>738587662RAT?
Captcha keeps breaking, aaaa.
>>738578749wrong
I remember Ace of Spades. I remember.
>>738610729BEWARE OF THE RAT
>>738560818i remember playing on openspades with /v/ back in the holiday season of maybe 2018 or 19it was dead the following year
>>738562838damn i wasn't sure why it died
>>738579576>I remember when phoneposters were mockedHoly shit I just realized I haven't seen anyone call out a phoneposter in years
Schizos really are the bane of this websites existence.
>>738611449I think /k/ might be one of the few boards left where schizos get banned relatively quickly, but on all the other boards I frequent there's at least one dedicated spammer who shits up any thread even tangentially related to something that they don't like, and when there's no threads about it they create one so they can scream at themselves.It's all quite tiresome.
>>738611749
nothing like breaking away at like a hundred legs of some faggot tower structure then finally toppling it
>>738579556Same but 26 now. I used it bit by bit for game news and manga translations till 2015ish when I got fully hooked (yes sadly I'm technically from that political wave fag population you can called me a retard) and started to really use 4chan and now after all these years I can finally understand why those OG fags are so tight assed about people. Growing up fucking sucks, but imo there are still some fun places and things to do on here that I do enjoy including shit posting. But with how badly the worlds gone it just doesn't feel the same....
>>738611886Hated this shit desu
>>738578079I think large swaths of anons simply don't really play games anymore for various reasons and instead get a rush from arguing online and that's itthe same for other boards just with the avoided source material changing>>738579830i see this mentioned a lot but really haven't seen any sign anyone here actually gave anything near a shit until it got really noticeable with twitter in the last year or so>>738581561Youtube giving people money was an insanely massive poisonpill for the community>>738580084Really? Only thing that comes to mind in this regard is how you can tell a lot of 40k youtubers talking about topics cover pretty much entirely of what a 1d4/1d6 page says about them like they're reading straight of it./tg/ in general is remarkably shit regardless, they're angrier and more inflammatory than even /v/ by like a large marginnon-general threads are like purposely shitpost to death, and general threads often have a resident schizo or twobeen this way for a while but everytime i look back its worse
>>738579658that said somethings have changed, usually just in a kind of shitty side gradelike pepe and particularly wojak/slo/basedjak spam is way way down from their respective peaksreally don't see much of either nowthen again i think a big part of that is spammers moving on to using AI
>>738579556I think there are certain games that come out like 2 or 3 times a year that genuinely catch a bit of lightning in a bottle and you can get a feeling like it's the good old days with actually engaging discussion and fan art. but we're eternally screwed because some enormous cock gobbler will always get upset that something is too "liberal" or whatever the fuck and decide that every thread about given topic must be spammed with whatever dumb bullshit they're upset about. There is one of those games up right now but I'm not going to say. Gonna keep it secret. Keep it safe.
>>738611386>I haven't seen anyone call out a phoneposter in yearsyou don't call out your own kin
>>738579787there's a massive gap in taking the piss out of everything includign race and politics and beings so fucking obsessed with politics and very seriously fighting whatever it is your against on every board and in every fuckign thread
>>738579712was it really that much laggier than potato? both were hosted in yuropt.newfaghostthinking back on it, i may have run it on a core2duo laptop over wifi once which would explain a lot
>>738612278/tg/ definitely has to be one of the biggest disappointments for me. It used to be so good.
>>738601049I drew that
a lot of good OC in this threadI miss how fun things used to be, people came here to laugh and now they come here to scream at eachotherhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ys6FZreXAI>>738612479Sadly the latter think they're in good company with the former and don't know how to take a hint and fuck off.
>>738563163>>738601891I always wished there was a proper machinegun in the game, something you can't shoot properly without mounting for example.
I never got to play this everCould I even as an Australian (the only games we can maybe play are Fortnite on a weekend in the afternoon)
>>738612971I always wanted to use the SMG but only in bunkers, but It felt like it would cause a shitstorm
>>738612396>I think there are certain games that come out like 2 or 3 times a year that genuinely catch a bit of lightning in a bottle and you can get a feeling like it's the good old days with actually engaging discussion and fan art.Absolutely. Outer Wilds, Signalis, Nine Sols, Silksong...
AoS game I got Steam for. So I could play with /v/. Back when I was 12.
>>738613418Then, a month or two later, there comes an autist who absolutely refused to let anyone talk about this shit because he's ass blasted about some made up dogshit in his head. It's infuriating.
>>738613681It's not "an" autist, anon. It's an entire site worth. All posting ragebait to destabilize and end discussion.That basedjak site has been a plague upon this site.
>>738613579was the game*
>>738613681Morrowind threads managed to recover from the schizo spam eventually, it really depends on whether you feed the trolls or ignore them.
>>738613861Actually, I feel like the sharty has mellowed out as the userbase is now in their early 20s. Sure you'll see their ragebots from time to time, but it was not as bad as it was in 2020 to 2024
>>738589183Doesn't hurt to give it a shot. Of course someone has to set up the server, that's the greatest problem.
>>738560818there's something soulful about this gif despite being naughty. Whatever it is, I miss it and wish it was here for a bit longer.
That's all I've got.
>>738599048>pvp in a buildan-focused gamesounds like balancing hellthe little factorio pvp i've done sucked assmodded mineman might fare better
>>738614352>being naughtyDude, really?
>>738614782It's a saucy little tart
>>738614412It's naturally been a while but I typically felt it was a generally damn good fight trying to hold the blue side of the river as Green. You always felt things were going south when the Blues were up your ass and they were able to use the cliff side to take pot shots across the water.
>>738560818I remember dismissing the game in favour of Minecraft instead of having two games to enjoy. Shame really because this kind of gameplay was exactly up my alley and Minecraft Factions servers wars can only go so far (swords and arrows only).
>>738579541>>738579737Supposedly logposter is actually a discord cabal dedicated to just doing that forever. Haven't seen proof, but I kinda buy it.
>>738599048That's Foxhole, and it's pretty okay but requires extremely autistic Discord coordination if you want to actually do things that will affect the war.
>>738615748That’s the Andy sixx guy?
>>738562838Damn that's a shame. I wish there was another way for people to reliably host, we haven't had a server in years it feels like.
>>738579556You know, I always believed my cousin ruined my since-adolescent life by introducing me to 4chan around age 13, but honestly I would have ended up a mouthbreathing redditor otherwise. The lesser of two evils, as it were.
>>738610979>Captcha keeps breakingskill issue
>>738613418StS2 and Mewgenics, more recently.Indie games tend to get decent discussion in general. It's the only time I ever talk about vidya on /v/ anymore, because AAA games have been dogshit for nearly a full decade.
>>738616056Honestly, I remember this happening during the pandemic so maybe he left by now.
>>738610383tbf recaptchas whole deal about training AI got us where we are now
>>738614339I'm keen to host a weekly server on weekends. There we're a few people on while I was asleep, with a tiny bit more organisation and notice I'm sure we'll get a few more on.
>>738614412HURRRRR CHARGE
>>738615882Yeah. Whoever it is has been at it since at least 2011, because I remember seeing it there as a turbonewfag. Probably it's been different people/groups over the years.
Looks like some comfy stuff happened
>>738612731holy shit, are you the Hacker Known as Anonymous???
>>738616484>at least 2011
>>738579658>eternal 2016really? It's still September here
>>738615882
>>738617272I can't go back in time to before I first discovered the site. Sue me.
>>738579541I came here around 2011-2012, with very rare visits before then, and I'd say there was a certain completely individual vibe before 2011~, then a shift to slightly more mainstream and th reaction to more people visiting, and then the absolute shitstorm of 2016 and past. nowadays good posts are rare, and several boards (or at least 90% of threads on them) are just no-go zones.alas, good threads like this one come around now and then.
>>738560818Jagex raping the game and it's sequel is the reason I can't trust them in the slightest, even with their new OSRS fanbase
I made this and I think I only ever posted it like once a few years ago
>>738619435Saved :)
>>738614483Why are you using your tripcode?
>>738613981Literally this, all you stupid niggers have to do is stop responding to bait, often times the most obvious of obvious bait, and yet...
>>738578828There's also an interesting factor of like, a common line of thing amongst all users is the idea of>here on 4chan, I can speak my mind, and not be forced out because of what those thoughts areand while shit was always contentious and arguing n' shit, it at least used to be that you thought that because you wanted to be heard and be able to talk to people no matter what. Now you got a lot of the users like what you're describing, and they think that but in the context of "I can force myself in, I can fuck up things for everyone, and they'll HAVE to tolerate meJust people that weren't looking to actually talk and assimilate amongst their peers, instead actively looking to be antagonistic with everyone and everybody if need be. The principles of shin-nippori are gone.
>>738624678Remember anon, NEVER reply to tripfags>vnr
Shotgun was barely used. I remember Everyone wants to use rifle
The current client ishttps://github.com/zerospades/zerospades
>>738612965i keep seeing them as Chi and Yuu
surely this could be remade in roblox
>>738629468dont curse this game like that.
Is this game completely dead? Or OpenSpade is alive?
>>738584826very nice
Shit I missed out on playing this with /vee/ back then. I remember owning the game after the Jagex shit and the only mode I liked was the trench warfare with no classes.
>>738628959I was thinking the exact same thing. Their personalities fit too
>>738560818its been years. the trenches are still fresh in my mind
>>738560818sexo
I used to love this game. I just remember it dying one day and then the whole Jadex thing happened. Not much of a drawfag, but its something.
>>738580084Nobody has done as much damage to/ tg/ as the mods did when they decided original content was banned. It was right around the quest split.
>>738577948Good eye, he drew all these. He posted OP's gif on his tumblr 11 years ago
>>738560818>Old enoughI thought this was a zoomer game... I remember hosting a wedding on The Wall 24/7 server but we kept getting sniped.
>>738560818I played this shit with v once and I spent hours just digging tunnel and then some dick heads would find the tunnel and drop in on us and it would be everyone shooting each other in a tunnel and dying meanwhile on the surface there's a handful of dudes shooting at each other building super shitty forts also obligatory swastika would be made
>>738625483Was the shotgun a balance problem too or just the SMG? I don't remember if I ever saw a consensus, too many people always wound up picking SMG if it was available.
>>738634578You drew this? Nice.
>>738563132There's plenty of them in the vidya fanart threads.
>>738560818Memory unlocked.
>>738560818doesn't /v/ have a server for one of the old (good) versions every few sundays or something?
