This thread alone makes me sincerely believe that allowing 6th gen has done irreparable harm to the board.

>>12183676HahaThese pathetic weak hands of online weebs will never not be funny
>>12183691you'll never see people whining about 4th gen inclusion in the snes hater's threads, or 5th gen inclusion in the saturn hater's threads, so why is it that whenever someone makes a shitty 6th gen thread, all 6th gen discussion has to be associated with it?>oh because there's multiple 6th gen schizos according to youyeah and there's multiple 4th/5th gen schizos too, and even a couple 3rd gen schizos even. those were just examples.
>>12183778Because the board was a lot better before 6th gen was allowed and shitters like you became comfortable enough to make it your home. We knew how shitty things were going to get when the board started getting spammed with "only my childhood is retro" ironic shitposting. Now here we are 10 years later and over half the threads are low quality shitposts or spam.
>>12183691Wait until the PS6 comes out and 7th gen is allowed
>>12183778Murk loar
>>12183981and mods rightfully removed all the retarded shitposts by being strict jurors until very recently, where they've been scared off by the hack. doesn't matter what generation they were from, they got put down.
I think 4th gen and older are just too old. We need a "Vintage" board for 4th gen and earlier, and a "Retro" board for 5th gen and newer. At some point, they’ll add the 7th gen to this board.Some faggots argue that HDMI and digital video outputs aren’t retro, but I believe online multiplayer was the real game changer, not video outputs. The Dreamcast and the N-Gage pioneered online play and made it the standard starting with the 5th generation.Another reason I think we should divide the board into "Vintage" and "Retro" is the generational gap. I’m a millennial (30yo fag), and I know I need to talk to my elders (boomers and Gen Xers) with respect, but Zoomers often don’t do that. Their behavior is a big reason why so many of you are frustrated.I don’t think this division is a top priority, but sooner or later the 7th gen will be considered retro. Honestly, it already is nowadays, we’re just in denial.

>>12184732Every generation thinks that the next one is composed of a bunch of retards, that's just human nature. The problem is when they are right.
i dont understand why people hate this console so much it was cheap af and it had some bangers. literally had more games than the ps5 has (as in present games) lmao
>>12184774Gamecube has suffered from Earthbound syndrome. It was underrated. No one gave a shit about it. Gamestop was clearing out its best games for $3.99. People in the know were in the know back then. Then the internet bandwagon came and hyped and overrated the fuck out of it to the point that it just doesn't stack up to the amount of hype it received. Same with Sega Saturn. Anytime something good fails, people have to identify with it and revise history in an attempt to make it more than it was.
>>12184767The advent of AI is about to blow this revelation wide open. But anyone who has conisistently worked in education for the past decade or longer can tell you that kids ARE in fact getting dumber.>>12185032>It was underrated. No one gave a shit about it.See, I never found this to be true. I was about 14 when the gamecube came out, and I was the only one of my friends who got one—everyone else said it looked too "kiddie" and they were more interested in whatever the PS2 or Xbox were doing. The end result of this was simply that I had to always bring my Gamecube over their houses because they still wanted to play Smash Bros and Mario Kart and whatever else, and they all ended up buying a Gamecube eventually because as much as all of them wanted to poo-poo on "Cel-da", none of them could ultimately go without playing it.If the Gamecube was "underrated" it's because, like the N64, its strength was couch co-op, which people weren't quite as willing to give up on as you'd have guessed by the early 2000s and the advent of cable internet. It's from an interesting point in time where the market was fundamentally changing, but even the consoles that "failed" were still well-loved and had great games.
>>12185071It was absolutely underrated and the argument you're making about Smash could be equally applied to Wii U - no one wanted one, but as long as one person had one everyone would play Smash Bros and Mario Kart. Even though Gamecube had a great catalog of games, consumers rejected it enough that it threw Nintendo into an identity crisis. They were selling them for $99 with pack-ins. For every one person that did actually buy one, there were 10 more who just outright dismissed it as being gay, or for little kids, or both. That's just how it was.One of my classmates got a Gamecube on clearance. It was on the way out and at the time most multiplats were a lot cheaper on it than PS2/Xbox, but even still everyone at my school (mostly Xbox bros) dogpiled on him for even mentioning it. Few saw the value.Eventually, a perfect storm transpired. Between the Wii being really popular, contrarian hipsterism championing obscurity over popularity, and terminally online Nintendo fanboys and influencers who make tons of revisionist Nintendo-centric content, the Gamecube became the next star/victim of the le hidden epic gemerald crowd.
>>12184224>>12184732personally i have no problem with a baseline respect towards others regardless of age but to be fair, in society elders stop getting respected when they stop deserving respect. there's personal exceptions, like your parents and/or grandparents (hopefully) but generationally speaking, what have baby boomers done to accrue respect compared to earlier generations? they've done a lot to earn shit, not all of it warranted obviously, but they really fucked up certain important things and don't even realize it, and continue to ruin other things now as well.and this problem compounds onto later generations societally because of the lack of knowledge passed down from parent to child, repeating itself like an ouroborus. think of all the people regardless of generation who blame their parents for not doing enough to raise them and swear to be different when they have kids but they're too often the same or even worse.
I got a GameCube during Christmas 2002. The next spring my parents got divorced, and that summer (2003) my dad got me an Xbox with Dead or Alive 3 and Halo: Combat Evolved. By fall 2003 I’d traded in my GameCube for Project Gotham Racing 2, Dead or Alive Ultimate , Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2X, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Honestly? I’m glad my parents split up. Otherwise I might’ve ended up some Melee tranny still living in my mom’s basement or grooming children on Discord.
>>12185032I dont really disagree aside from the bit about the Saturn which was actually shit whereas the gamecube was not.
>>12185549You're still on here though so what difference does it make? You hang out with the trannies and groomers online
>>12185872You hang out with the trannies and groomers online != be a tranny/groomer
>>12183691I originally supported sixth gen being added, and now I absolutely regret it.
>>12184034yup. everything could be fixed with better moderation. been saying that for years. but the owners/admins of this site don't give a shit about it. if the hack didn't change their behavior, nothing will.
>>12185903birds of a feather m8
>>12185549My friend from high school had a game cube and I saw him eat cat food once while high. I never owned one.
The shitcube has brought nothing but transgender cubie discord raiders and leftist propaganda to this board. I’m also in favor of banning it and allowing the Nintendo DS and PSP in its stead.
>>12186019no one wants to hear about your tranny chaser habits mate, go back to /soc/
>>12183676God those aftermarket controllers are TERRIBLE.
>>12185217Cool, so we agree the gamecube was not underrated.
>>12187116>it's not underrated>it just sold way below any expectations and took a decade after it was discontinued for people to get what it was going forkek, ok anon
>>12183676Me simple neanderthal man, me see anything gamecube related, me go into blind rage.
>>12186019>anti-gamecube schizo is a 7th gen pusherconsider me devoid of any hope left for /vr/.It had a good run, RIP 2012-2020
>>12187465okay bye
>>12187473I don't need to leave, I just lost any hope I had neft. Schizos here are getting worse and they have way too much free time. The board is doomed to becomes PS3 vs 360 vs Wii and anything else to be drowned in bad bait
>>12187480you should leave if being on here feels hopeless and unenjoyable to you.Make better use of your time, it's valuable.
>>12187492Eh, at least I don't waste every day of my life spamming and seething about a console/company I don't like Spending a few minutes per week to sigh at the lamentful state of this board doesn't take me that much time
>>12183676Avoid those harsh cleansers and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It is sort of like sandpaper and wet sanding removing a layer of plastic. You can keep the printing at the top of the controller. I just use some Pine-Sol and isopropyl alcohol with simple paper towels, q-tips, and a cheap toothbrush. As you can see, the printing at the top of the controller still is pristine and sharp without damage.
>>12185908Just like supporting migrants who bring their cancer and don't want to integrate into your culture.
The big giveaway that N64/Cube lovers secretly deep down know their console is shit is that they always have to bring up Sega Saturn out of nowhere for no reason even when discussing entirely different console generations.Like they won't even dare mention Sony ANYTHING, they just pivot to the failed console that somehow managed to have more games than the N64/cube combined.
>>12184016There needs to be a cut off and it should be the 6th gen. Philosophically Gaming fundamentally change forever after the 6th generation
