Why do anti-physical fags always use "plastic" as a means to demoralize people who own things when consoles and carts also have metal in them?
>>12769962The more pressing question is why do anti-physical fags think their files are extracted from an etheral plane and not stored in similar rotting plastic and the 45th emulation handheld they needed to consoooom.
>>12769985>old man yells at the cloud
It is the other way around. NO YOU CANNOT PLAY THIS GAME IN 4k ON A EMULATOR IT'S LITERALLY RAPE Play games or collect them you do you.
>>12769993Yeah I guess kek.Late millennials and early zoomers (the bulk of the anti-physical demo) are getting old now, and get mad at young zoomers/early alphas who want to buy an OG Game Boy
The only people who care about other people collecting are other collectors or resellersBoth of them want you to sell your shit so they can buy it cheap
>>12770025>Both of them want you to sell your shit so they can buy it cheapThis is what I actually think, too.There's a huge psyop into wanting clueless retards to get rid of their stuff and go full emu
>>12770025Collector autist don't think this way tho. I've seen jobless autist who tried to pick up chiks with his crash bandicoot games collection.
>>12770039>I've seen jobless autist who tried to pick up chiks with his crash bandicoot games collection.I am like this and do this
>>12770053How is it working for you?
I wish people discussed video games on this board.
Why does this faggot make gay argumentative threads?
>>12769962this looks like declassified IR drone footage of military activity in afghanistan
>>12770093Rip Uncle Fungus and Uncle 1
>>12769962Because the prices are too high and also zoomers should not be allowed to own retro. If you weren't even alive when the game came out, then you maybe should not be allowed to own it. Go play fortnite and get your own vidya culture.
Whoever is behind it is against CRTs as well. Any number of companies are active on the board and they all hate old games, old movies, old equipment because if people are happy with that stuff they might not buy the new product, and if retro stuff gets popular people might spend money on it instead of the new garbage.The talking points are all canned and seem like they come off a list of a bot is posting them, but shills aren't their own people, even if they're human, they must shill what they're told to shill.Whatever it is, is reactive and ineffective, retro shit is booming and AAA gaming is putting huge hundred billion dollar companies straight out of business. Nobody likes smart TVs, CRTs are magical by comparison, etc.Nintendo advertises here on /vr/ for sure, just like many companies do on /v/, etc. There's always about 30 tendie glazing threads up on this poor, formerly slow board, no real content or blogposts or anything, just rehashes and activity stimulators. But shills or the board itself posts them every day.When 4chan goes down sometimes, the boards keep shitting out sponsored threads and activity-stimulating bait, it's funny.
>>12770113Retro is helping to literally KILL the globohomo big game companies, it's great.
>>12769962They also have stickers and paper/cardboard depending on the system. So are the anti-physical faggots also opposed to those things?
>>12770159Yeah sort of but the preferable outcome is new products which we also are getting but not enough. This can be chinkhelds, clone consoles, FPGA, etc. The games themselves seem to be the bottlneck so yes, we have flashcarts but it would be nice to skip that and offer new consoles that read directly from standardized sources like an sd card.
>>12770201Kinda like the C64 Ultimate? Nintendo should make an NES/SNES/N64 line that takes carts and also has an online store and other features, plus HDMI. They could sell them at a premium. Other companies have gone for the mini thing to some success, but why not a full cartridge system? Then they can sell Mother 3 for like $200, just a ROM in a plastic shell but it's REAL NINTENDO.
>>12770236That would be amazing but Nintendo is still stuck on the subscription online service model and has yet to even bring back the VC so I just don't see them doing that any time soon. Products like that tend to generate internal competition and that's one of the reasons they avoid it. The mini consoles are just like a stand alone thing that you buy and they made it a limited release thing during the final year of the Wii U or something IIRC. Things like this companies at best tend to hold up their sleeve in the case of poor sales.Back in the day, the Wii VC had first ever localizations of 20 year old console games. That console is so damn underrated.
>>12770156>Nintendo advertises here on /vr/ for sureSony moreso.Lots of same-y "ps2 is the greatest retro console" with like 20 replies
>>12770242>That would be amazing but Nintendo is still stuck on the subscription online service modelYou're missing the key feature - the NES/SNES/N64 remake will have a cartridge port, AND a store!>>12770302Nobody advertises here more than Nintendo, nobody.
>>12770304>Nobody advertises here more than Nintendo, nobody.Proof?I also think all these mister fpgfag etc threads are full of marketers but I never really bother reading them
>>12770304Do you consider brainwashed cultists who see nintendo products as objects of worship advertisers? Becuase this is what is happening here imho. I doubt that nintendo pays for actual internet shill beacuse nintendo giving money to anyone is a big no-no for the company, however it is obvious that nintendo cultists are some of the most feral video game cultists that exist and this board isn't free from them. I wouldn't be suprised if janny is one of them.
>>12770314I just got a feel, no proof. Not to say Sony doesn't advertise here too!>>12770346>Do you consider brainwashed cultists who see nintendo products as objects of worship advertisers?Kinda, but in some cases it becomes clear that there are actual advertisers. The tendie shillwave when Ocarina turned however many years old we had a few weeks back? That was disgusting. And crude.>I doubt that nintendo pays for actual internet shillWe know they do for a fact, remember that one Nintendo community manager on Reddit woman? The one who got outed as both an escort based on her tendie tats (probably worked for the SF market where she lived) but who also shilled LGBTQIA+P on Twitter incessantly for years?She was a paid tendie. Now she may or may not work for Nintendo any more, and maybe she just worked on Reddit, but the shilling is incessant and crude, thirdie or bot tier.
>Still have the gameboy I got in ‘91 or ‘92.>It still works>If I want to play gameboy I just emulate on my PC. Look, the gameboy screen and audio sucked hard.And no, I’m not selling something I got in kindergarten.
>>12770025Not the first post, but still the best post.
>>12770442>Look, the gameboy screen and audio sucked hard.DMG screen is lovely though. Emulators have some cool shaders, but nothing looks as real as the real thing. You can't play on the dark but other than that it's cool. The contrast adjustment works.Also, audio? Game Boy is famous for having very neat 8 bit audio, to the point unofficial music tracker carts were made and chiptune artists all around the world not only use Game Boy to compose and record music, but also to play live.
>>12769962Why are you so autistically hung up around the word "plastic"?
>>12769962>physical vs anti-physicalFake discussion, real discussion is collectorfaggotry vs real players, anyone will agree that a flashcart is a reasonable investment
I wish I could heap all plastic into a great fire of renewal that will usher a new age of digital communism where everyone plays the same redump roms and romhacks are illegal
>>12770836>real discussion is collectorfaggotry vs real playersYou think this but evidence shows that some people arenjust angry about others owning things. Owning something since retro times =/= being a collector.Also, digital-only fags also coomlect and don't play, you always read people saying they compulsively buy shit during stream sales and then never play them
>>12770836>collectorfaggotryHaving old games is great, there's no reason not to. Lots of people collected stuff when it was cheap, because they liked it. I don't even really like Pokemon Crystal but I bought them for a while thinking they'd be the thing to get for OGB.
>>12770032>cluelessI’m actually in the process of trying to do that, mainly because 99% of my collection is now worth WAY more than it was when I bought it, and those same games can be emulated on almost any device and provide a 1:1 experience of the game. Why on earth would I want to keep the physical media in that case? >muh authenticity I don’t miss those days as much as nostalgiafags do. Emulation was always more amazing to me than buying games.
>>12774627ok
>>12774629That doesn’t answer my question, anon. Why should I keep the games in my collection when people will pay infinitely more than the games are worth for them?The way I see it, the only ones worth keeping are light gun games. Everything else can be sold and I can just turn around and play the game right afterwards FOR FREE either on my PC, on a console, or in my bed on a chinkheld of choice.
>>12774638It's like the guy in 1950 who sold his Babe Ruth rookie card for $10. He got it in a pack for a quarter!There's nothing wrong with that at the time.
>>12774640Ah so you’re banking on the games being worth tens of thousands of dollars in the future? I have a hard time believing the prices will get even higher than they are now. I think the rarest game I own is Misadventures of Tron Bonne. A loose disc by itself has been $250 for several years. That game emulates perfectly, and people will pay $250 for a physical version of it lmao. How this market has managed to stay afloat is beyond me. It’s only a matter of time before people stop fetishizing the physical copies and the only people buying and selling hardware are speculators.
>>12774649>Ah so you’re banking on the games being worth tens of thousands of dollars in the future?No, but they will be.
>>12774691Care to elaborate why you think so? Is it just faith or is your example of baseball cards what you’re banking on?
>>12774823AI will digest everything and / or big concerns will take everything off the market to force the streaming meme.
>go to power up retro PC>doesn't even beep or flash any lightsGreat, now I get to spend my next day off trying to figure out if the PSU died or if something on the motherboard died or if the CPU died. I'm hoping it's the PSU since I have a spare laying around. If not, then I hope it's the CPU since that's an easy replacement. If something's wrong with the motherboard, this will be a pain in the ass.
>>12774842>AI will digest everything and / or big concerns will take everything off the market to force the streaming meme.I see. Sounds like you’ve gotten memed big time into believing some pretty crazy shit, anon. Not sure what else to tell you.
>>12774979>Sounds like you’ve gotten memed big time into believing some pretty crazy shit, anon.It's grinding up the books now, AI is anyway. Physical media is to be phased out.
>>12774982>grinding up the booksWhat does this even mean?
