>Meet Anon. Age: thirty-four. Occupation: professional bystander to his own existence. He is a citizen of a digital metropolis, currently navigating a neighborhood known simply as /v/. In this roiling corner of the ether, Anon does not play games; he merely deconstructs them, armoring his profound isolation in fifteen layers of razor-sharp irony and a chronically online, hyper-satiated state of severe coomer dependency. He believes he is a master of the bait, a king of the charts, safely insulated behind a wall of total anonymity.>What Anon doesn't realize is that the keyboard beneath his fingertips is about to enter a command he cannot delete. He has just logged off from reality, and posted a thread straight into... The Twilight Zone.
There should be an episode of anormalfag entering the website to discuss videogames but slowly realizes everyone is a nazi!! dun dunn dunn
kino series
>>749430341Or an episode where anon realized he gooned to a troon
Based Rod would never stoop to legitimising a word like "coomer".
WOT IF YOU POSTED A NEGATIVE OPINION ABOUT NINTENDO BUT SOME GUY KEPT CALLING YOU ERIC OVER AND OVER AGAIN BUT THEN YOU FOUND OUT YOUR BIRTH NAME WAS ERIC AND YOUR MUM COVERED IT UP AND YOU'RE ACTUALLY A HALF VAMPIRE WHO CAN WALK IN THE DAYLIGHT???
>>749430218>[Interior: A dark room, lit by the glow of three computer monitors and an RGB keyboard. Blackout curtains allow only a tiny edge of natural light into the living space, crowded by anime merchandise and trash bags full of fast food packaging. Anon hammers away at his keyboard. /v/. Start a thread. Files. Lust provoking image. The body text reads only "Is coffee good for you?" Submit. He leans back with a smirk.]
>>749431126
This dude was an insufferable leftist who argued for niggers to be rammed into every neighborhood and then speedran his own life so he could check out before he had to experience the consequences of his own advocacy.
>>749430218>hey chatgpt, write me a funny twilight zone copypasta for all of my friends on /v/Yawn.
>>749431434Yeah but Twilight Zone is kino.
I like watching old episodes of the Twilight Zone - the sets, the hairstyles, the costumes, and even the dialect of the time seem so quaint, and comfortable compared to what we have now.>"How's that?"
>>749431434How the fuck do your kind even get the motivation to see if every celebrity personally aligns with and validates your own worldview? Or do you just get angry that trillions of life forms on the planet dont agree with you? Nobody would have known or cared to know this.
>>749431629I think it's funny when they pronounce robot like 'robit'.
For me, the best episode was "A World of Difference".
>>749430218I like the one with the robber in his own personal Hell and the mannequin one.
I liked that episode where the guy was normal but everyone else was crazy
>>749431697Kino episode. A kinosode I should say.For me it's the one where the dead grandma is trying to drag the kid to Hell through his toy phone.
>>749431434I'm not a leftist so the personal political opinions of someone who created something I like have no consequences of me enjoying that thing. They can't comprehend this because they have been pandered to for so long, they hate Harry Potter despite loving it a few years ago.

>>749430218It probably is possible to construct a pretty compelling episode intro for an Anon on /v/, consisting of language appropriate for the air at the time.I don't really approve of the chunk between "Anon does not play games;" and "He believes he is a master...". I'm not digging up old Twilight Zone episodes to check if they used expressions that might lean a little too hard into jargon, concerning "master of the bait" in particular. Coomer, being inappropriate aside, is probably too niche for a general television audience.>enter a command he cannot deletesubmit something he cannot delete*>and posted a thread straight into...I'd opt for something more along the lines of "starting a thread in...", personallyI'm too tired beyond the obvious of "Anon" needing to be replaced with someone's actual name but in this context it's fine you know what I'm getting at.
>>749431847>the personal political opinions of someone who created something I like have no consequences of me enjoying that thingHow? All art is created from the mind.
>>749431992#2 and #3 are fine as far as framing goes, it's just fucking weird I can think of at least three episodes where you not only have aliens, but they're giant>mute lady in a house on the prairie 'humans are actually the aliens' applies to this episode lel>the giant inflatable practical effect alien episode>That one that ends up with the astronauts on an alien planet w/ micro civilizations getting crushed by even bigger aliens.
>>749431474We are living in a Twilight Zone episode where it is impossible to tell if the "people" we communicate with are real or not.
>>749432287Theres effective ways to block bots or countries heavily associated with botting.
>>749431672>Or do you just get angry that trillions of life forms on the planet dont agree with you?It doesn't bother you constantly? It doesn't instill doubt in your mind that if you can't perfectly argue against someone else's beliefs, it means yours are imperfect?
>>749430218For me it's I shot an arrow into the air.
Tales from the Dark Side, and Outer Limits was alright, too.
>>749430218I tried to get into the original Twilight Zone, and it was one of the most boring shows I've ever seen. Tales From The Crypt mogs it

the genie episode where the guy wishes to become an all-powerful leader and the genie turns him into literally hitler complete with the mustache was the funniest shit ever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQlqjONEsKQ
>>749431474at least there's no em dashes, three part lists, or apostrophe switchups
>>749433502https://youtu.be/kNk0MHPAhZk?si=3YqJqNCZC1hrCr9T
>>749433502What a tool. Using rigid and antiseptic as negative descriptors, yes the world cannot survive without your autistic need to smear feces all over the walls.
>>749433782This was a 27 year old man in 1962.
>>749433502It's crazy how much more advanced the vocabulary was even on a regular broadcast TV program back then. >if you have the temerity to try and dramatize a theme that involves any particular social controversy currently extantthis would be gibberish to the general audience today
>>749433870Chain smoking and ww2 ptsd does that to you>>749433954Even worse: you'd get accused of trying to be pretentious and someone would post you to rslashim14andthisisdeep
>>749433870Seeing that, I don't feel so bad about aging anymore.I am a year older and yet most of the time people think I am still in my early 20s.

How would a Twilight Zone video game even play? A core essence of the very show is the twist ending (not always, but undoubtedly still key to the essence), so how does that translate into gameplay? The easy mode answer is just an interactive episode, ie a visual novel, and yes that's probably the best way. But can you think of a more creative concept? Harder still, can you think of a concept which has replay value? I would say off the bat here that 'multiple possible twist endings' would be very hard to do with a good story that makes sense simultaneously, thought it could be done if you just leaned into a really silly concept where the multiple possible twists don't need to make sense.
What did we think of the reboot? I saw the first(?) episode with the guy on the plane and I thought it was okay.
I have every single episode of the Twilight Zone right here... and my DVD player is broke.
>>749430341This but he realizes he's Indian.
>>749434026>Chain smoking and ww2 ptsd does that to youI wonder what else is going on because I notice he clenches his jaw nearly all the time when he speaks.
>>749431672you are in the "people other than me that have different opinions exist and this makes me murderously angry" website, retard. where do you think you are?
>>749431686>>749431629everyone in that part of new york still talks like that
>>749434456So buy one? Are you like 25 iq or something?
>>749434320I don't know how to do Twilight Zone specifically, but there are games that do twists in the gameplay. Tunic has whole mechanics available to you from the start that you simply don't know how to activate until you find documents telling you. But if you knew ahead of time, you could do it before finding any documents. There are games that fuck with your UI like Nier Automata or Eternal Darkness. You could do 'twists' in that vein.
>>749434320Probably something like World of Horror where there's sort-of "pre written" stories, but the game has a highly replayable structure with a lot of variables. Point-and-click format goes with the player's natural urge to investigating the world and figure out its core mystery.
>>749434456Just buy a external disc drive. That way, you can play DVDs on your computer.
>>749432237>the obvious of "Anon" needing to be replaced with someone's actual nameTHATS THE JOOOOKE
Did anyone else tear up when the watched the walking distance episode........
>>749434601That's all of social media nowadays. Let's not pretend that 4chan is an anomaly there.
>>749434320Laughing Salesman proves that not everything can or should be a videogame.
Glad I watched this as a kid, one of the best TV shows ever and got me over the black and white film hump early.
>>749434456No.. it's not fair..there was time now.. it's not fair!
>>749433031if I saw that thing in my living room I would punt it across the house.
>>749434601those opinions at least used to be based on video games instead of idpol nonsense
>>749434624There's no need to be rude. Don't you think that there's probably an unspoken reason why I don't just buy a new one? It's because I'm saving up my money right now. I could just by a new DVD player anyway, but then I could just buy a lot of things, you have to stick rigidly to saving up or it defeats the purpose. That's why I can't (or won't) just buy a new DVD player, now that you know the reason I hope you would retract the hurtful comment.
>>749431672It's an OCD type of thing. They have to screen everything for their obsession first or their mind won't stay quiet. It's a constant fixation, imagine if you really really had to piss but no matter how much you piss it doesn't go away, it's that urgent for them. It's an almost physical urge to constantly check for indians/trannies/nazis/my little pony/etc behind every corner. The worst part is that at any time they could develop a new fixation and there's nothing they can do about it, it just happens one day and they're helpless. Then they come here to post about it and we all have to read it.
I'm currently sick with some kind of flu, I've got high fever making me slightly delirious and for some reason shitposting is the best distraction I've found. I can't play vidya, I don't want to watch films or even youtube, don't feel like reading books or manga/webtoons.
every episode of Columbo is a Twilight Zone episode for the murderer
>>749434917they still kinda are, I still celebrate that the director of Unicorn Overlord quit Vanillaware because they didnt let him put six saggers on the wolf woman, such atrocities ought to be punished and its a miracle he still had a job after trying that pitch.
>>749434651this would probably be the best avenue for a Twilight Zone game
>>749434320Narrative driven game would be the easiest sell, you could do an infocom text adventure, a Lucasarts/Myst-like graphical adventure, a walking sim or a visual novel. Maybe an escape the room kind of game.Beyond that, I dunno a creepypasta cliche meta-style game where you have a “haunted game” that slowly degenerates into something else would work.You could do adaptations of individual episodes if you were inclined.The spirit of Twilight Zone is a black and white look, a person caught in a weird situation, and an unexpected twist.
>>749434957Shitposting is easy and quick
>>749431342literally me
>>749431672It takes 30 seconds and don't joke around, he already knows every celebrity believes some stupid bullshit.
>>749434320the problem with the twighlight zone is that its episodes are typically driven by an illogical character flaw of the protagonist. how do you make the player act out something that's obviously detrimental? without the player just immediately deciding oh okay, I'll just make the obvious grow as a person choice.gamifying usually implies logical resource driven behavior.
>>749433870No one drank water and everyone smoked like a chimney and drank booze like a fish.
>>749434918You can not be that fucking broke dude. You could even buy an external drive for your pc or laptop like the other anon said
>>749435157Yeah I can switch between topics quickly so I don't have to focus on one thing for too long which seems to be very difficult at the moment. On the other hand it's like I'm high, if it wasn't for all the other symptoms the delirium in itself could be fun.
>>749434918I thought you were quoting tails gets trolled at first so you got a lol out of me.
>episode where Alien prince chooses form of an old man

>>749436678Everyone needs time to recharge, retard. I would bet that if we had all the losers here improve their social skills/lives they would find out that they actually enjoy some form of IRL interaction. You CHOOSE to come on here and interact with people online. You at least like interacting with people to some degree.
>>749436940>retardThat would suit someone like you who believes that their personal opinion and experiences control external reality.

The episode from the first season, which aired in 1959, about the guy who travels back in time to an idyllic small town in the 1880s really drives home the fact that every generation looks back on an idealized past. I remember watching it back in the 90s and thinking that the 50s were supposed to be a golden age, but back then they just looked further back. I guess you'd go all the way back to antiquity doing this if you kept tracing it further.
>>749437107>nooo, you can't notice things that are prevalent
>>749437865That generation had been through two world wars. Of course they wanted to go back to the 1880s. And the 1880s people would want to go back pre-civil war.
>>749436754
>>749437865the very first likes of one of the oldest Sumerian songs literally begins with "In those days, those olden days, when the bread was warm, and people were good..." that one UD REEEEEEA meme Bronze Age song? thats more or less what the start means.
>>749437865I know for a fact it at least goes back to the 16th century.Then there's the ancient greek myths about the ages of man and how the current age is the weakest.I think you'd have to go all the way back to prehistoric times, with nomadic peoples who were living the same way their ancestors lived for millennia. No, even they probably yearned for the times passed down in oral tradition, when giant beasts made of delicious meat roamed the earth and hunting was way easier.

>>749437865To be fair we always had science fiction that made us look forward to the future. I mean until the Jews ruined everything but...damn maybe things were better.
>>749435386It's crazy to me that people just didn't drink water. Like it isn't even an exaggeration, you talk to boomers and it's>oh yeah we had orange juice at breakfast, the frozen type from a can, and then soda and pop and pepsi and maybe a Seven Up if we were feeling frisky, and the kids drank powdered Kool-Aid by the gallon especially in the summer, and they drank the soda too, and then at dinner mom and dad would have a can or two of Old Bud and the kids would have more Kool-Aid or maybe super sweet tea, and no one really just 'drank' through the day because WE DIDN'T HAVE CAMPAIGNS TO 'STAY HYDRATED' HURR DURR HURR WE EXISTED ON ALCOHOL AND PUBLIC WATER FOUNTAINS and now you're paying for my deteriorating end of life and it's GREATit wasn't until i was an adult, speaking to these people, that I found out some people actually "hate the taste of water."
>>749438241and there's the Walls of Pompeii, it literally has a graffiti about anything you can imagine, from who was balding, to who took a nice shit there, and another one saying he had seen a certain guy simp for a whore, or a popular foreign slut that was the talk of the taverns, and someone who just made bread and was happy about it, our bros Gaius and Aulus, and Dexter and Apelles Mus who had a nice dinner and a fuck with fine whores, and then ultimately some guy wrote "Oh, you strong wall, how have you not fallen with all these tedious engravings." we have been always the fucking same.
>>749438827Those boomers are all living to 100 while your hydrated ass is already collapsing at 30. Maybe they knew something you don't.

if rod serling was a cardboard cutout of a leftist he wouldn't have written 'the shelter'. it's basically directly counter to any sort of leftwing framing.he had ideological blinders certainly but they didn't cover everything.
>>749431672it annoys me to enjoy things where if the creator knew i existed and who i was, they would tell me to fuck off and not enjoy the things they've madei don't enjoy many things anymore

>>749439217if you took something to heart from one of his episodes I honestly don't think he would do that.
>>749439217What causes this, anyway? The "If you're [thing I don't like], don't buy my game/book/album/whatever?" If you're that political you'd think you're all about people 'across the aisle' consuming something you made- after all, that's the first step towards indoctrination into your own views instead of theirs, wink wink- but instead it's "fuck off I hate you" posturing. Maybe I'm schizo but it also always feels a little class/have-havenot based too, like they're going "I don't need your support, I'm already rich and popular from my own clan."

>>749441212His squad mates spoke about him. He wasnt good at it (who would be?) and he struggled a lot in that environment. He had a very brutal tour at the worst job ever basically that he wasn't built for, it probably aged him 20 years.
