>>1 HEY WHAT GIVES should've spawned another /tv/ board and slowly turn it into the offtopic shit we all loved and yeah I speak for everyone back in the pre-exodus days

mark just nuked my post on vb linking to the board lmao

>>35 Yeah, I made a single shill post in the /v/ meta thread when I first made the board. Coyote deleted it within minutes, and I'm not fond of shilling anyways. I'm surprised anyone is finding this place. >>33 >/tv/ Never used it and never will.

So I found out that Coyote is now deleting ANYTHING that mentions censorship. I've had three posts wiped from the Fighing game thread for daring to mention that the Capcom Fighting Game collection has censored version of games.

Then just treat that topic as verboten on Mark/v/, post about it elsewhere, and only use /v/ for exclusively unrelated topics. That's my philosophy. Also make every post on a new IP. Getting accused of being a (1) means nothing in comparison to a potential post history wipe across the board for offending the wrong retard.

>>54 Also, did the game happen to come out on a Nintendo console? Mark and his shabbos goy Coyote seem to think anyone saying anything bad about Nintendo, or even just emulators for Nintendo systems, is all one samefagging anti-Nintendo autist. I think that's what Mark was ultimately and indirectly accusing me of, and I'm betting that's what's in his head about the recent Nintendo censorship thread too.

>>56 >Also, did the game happen to come out on a Nintendo console? Yes, but the discussion was about the PS4. As the Anon was asking for fighters on the PS4.

>>57 Then I haven't got a clue what bug crawled up their collective asses today.

>>36 >I'm surprised anyone is finding this place. I only discovered it because an anon linked this place in a thread. Thought something was going on with /vb/. >>56 >Mark and his shabbos goy Coyote seem to think anyone saying anything bad about Nintendo, or even just emulators for Nintendo systems, is all one samefagging anti-Nintendo autist. Do you think this has anything to do with the recent thing going on with the Fire Emblem thread, since that is a Nintendo series? It got merged with QTDDTOT because apparently the OP wasn't good enough. Even though there are other threads with low effort or "negative" OPs that stay up. The first sentence was mentioning how the modern games are not very good, so maybe that's what set moderation off?

>>59 >Thought something was going on with /vb/. There sort of is, elsewise this board oughtn't exist. >the recent thing going on with the Fire Emblem thread, Haven't used that thread. >It got merged with QTDDTOT Nor that one recently.

Mark and some autist appear to be duking it out in the GG thread now. I was once like him, determined to keep my posts up in spite of moderation faggotry. Hopefully soon he will learn the solution to is to go someonewhere else and let Mark's echochamber shrink.

Also, it appears Mark is parroting the same "innovative tactics" slogan that Sturgeon used in his ban message for that other anon from the discussion here >>40 Mark and Sturgeon both deleting what appear to be innocuous posts vehemently while giving the same excuse as to why from a 5+ year old "how we attack imageboards" guide that practically no one directly references anymore, instead of you know, the tried and true rules of COINTELPRO Which are still in the GamerGate OP, which cover all the same tactics. Really makes you think.

>>63 And again, I must reiterate from the discussion in the other thread, both board owners not allowing fags to whine in their respective meta threads/boards.

Oh, and I've been telling Mark for years that he needs to delete/ban people for feeding LCP, Lucario/Niggerpill, and the like. He never does it. It's somehow not "innovative tactics" to allow "anons" quotations because I suspect most replies are actually samefaggotry feed known spammers. But now both Mark and Sturgeon seem to be following above and beyond that tactic, deleting anyone who even questions what the hell is going on. It took nearly a month before Mark just now posted some excuse explanation for his rampant faggotry as of late while leaving a couple questioning posts up. Probably began to finally get the nagging feeling that he was banning too many people long after he crossed that line. Why the sudden change of heart in moderation practices? Will this change apply to feeding known spammers, or only to those broaching Mark's new un-kosher topic list?

>>62 >>63 >>64 >>65 What's even funnier is that they're deleting those posts almost on sight, yet post by LCPedokike, who is on the ENTIRE site's blacklist, have stayed up for hours on end.

>>66 I wouldn't jump so quickly to claim Mark is already being hypocritical with his new moderation practice. Right now the autist he's fighting with is reposting the same big obvious thing over and over. LCP is much easier to overlook.

>>67 >Right now the autist he's fighting with is reposting the same big obvious thing over and over. LCP is much easier to overlook. Not when the span between the last time I made a post before this morning was eight hours ago.

>>68 Ah, so you are the autist. You should know from the last dozen times someone has tried "repeatedly remaking their non-rule breaking post until moderation gives in" that it doesn't work. And it sounds like you both just went to bed and got up around the same time.

>>69 >And it sounds like you both just went to bed and got up around the same time. The only reason I woke up this early was to clean up cat vomit. That's too much of a coincidence for someone else to go to sleep and wake up at the same time.

>>70 6-8 hours is a normal amount of sleep. The most active people on this board are going to be around the same time zones. Mark probably slept less than you. The probability is likely.

>>70 I also looked at the posts you referenced in the Goober thread about how you reported them, yet your posts are still deleted swiftly while likely LCP posts are left up. No reports have been closed in the past 8 or 9 hours. No one has checked reports yet. But Coyote is watching the goober thread. So still, no fresh hypocrisy as of yet. He probably has the goober thread specifically set up to ping him every time a post is made. Notice it's Coyote and not Mark as well. Mark hasn't done anything today. So that convenient sleep timing argument goes away. Coyote stopped deleting posts and hour before Mark's last action last night, so he went to bed before you stopped posting. Now I just need someone to explain the mystery of why Coyote only ever deletes posts and never bans anyone.

Found out somethig new. Mark is sight spitful of this board that he's filtered any link to /bv/ as redirecting to /vb/.

>>83 Update to this, Mark is now deleting posts from /site/.

>>83 I don't really see that as any change from the current normal. It's his stance to excise any and all complaints and questions about these deleted topics, with the sole exception of when he said these things are being posted as "innovative tactics" to destroy the site, and that he can't reveal more at the moment. Filtering a board that was created solely for the posting of those banned topics is status quo. >>86 I saw that. However, the post was restored. I've taken to bitching about it in IRC, since this feels like it's overstepping boundaries, but neither Acid nor Codexx seem to be present at the moment.

>>88 He has now deleted it again, along with banning anon. He says anon was spamming sitewide. I'm sure Mark has a very special definition of spam though, and I wager "Posting this on more than one board==sitewide spam" in his eyes. It's telling that he only says he has proof of this for /v/. Has anyone seen this post or similar made anywhere that it ought not be?

>>89 And it appears to have again been restored. Could be Mark changed his mind and decided taking down that single post is a bad look when he can just ban anon and leave "proof" of anon's "bad behavior" up, or maybe someone disagrees with Mark and is restoring the post.

presenting /bv/'s mascot, boephe

>>95 Prease don't steal OC. Donut Steel. Steeling is bad.

Hi from >>>/8flags/ & >>>/monarchy/ also My board also allows /vr/ (retro games). I have no gripe with /v/, but welcome, /v/ separatists aka /bv/. >>95 I really hope this isn't /bv/'s mascot.

>>98 /bv/ has no official mascot. All claims are equally illegitimate.

At the risk of turning this thread into "Look at how stupid Mark is", get a load of this: >>>/v/1072543

>>105 Mark doesn't have the pattern recognition he thinks he does, his definition of spam is wide, yadda yadda, same old same old. Hitting another random confused anon with his shotgun method is not really a new development, so you're very much risking turning this thread into "Look at how stupid Mark is" thread. Though it's understandable if you're the one banned and unable to protest your ban since that's basically half of why this board exists.

So, BO, why did you remove the board from the site board list?

>>114 >body odor Stop projecting! >>98 I want to have sex with Mog!

>>114 I didn't? It's still there. You know there's more than one page of boards and this board is dead, right?

>>117 I just found it strange that the board was on the first page one week and then gon ethe next. Anyways, outside of just being a board of spite, is there anything that you don't want posted on here?

>>118 >>119 It's pretty open ended right now. Maybe something will come up that requires adding more, but hopefully not. Having lots of rules is bad, but having unwritten rules is worse, and the latter is why I made this board.

>>118 That's just the nature of things, is this your first time on an imageboard? If you want to stay on the front page, you need consistent postings on the board. That's just common sense.

Just wanted to come by and say mark is a nigger and coyote is his prime dicksucker.

>>125 What'd they do this time?

>>126 Not him, but i'd like to chime in to say that after i got a one day ban for 'meta' from pointing out that most of my posts were deleted because coyote is a nigger, i apparently also had a three day ban for spamming reports over how much of a nigger coyote was and maybe also calling him a dickless janny since he wasn't even closing reports.

>>126 Apparently coyote and mark don't like people shit-talking AT ALL about a 3D remaster of an old VN that had hand-drawn animations. From what I saw in the trailer, it had God-awful antialiasing and texturing, with the only thing barely saving it from looking like complete dogshit being the simplistic anime art style.

>>128 They deleted posts about it? This is getting tiresome, wonder if they deleted mine.

>>128 >>129 They deleted my post as well. Would you guys rather have a dedciated VN thread on here or on >>>/a/?

Watching the goober thread, the latest meta drama seems to be someone reported someone for something posted in the meta thread. Mark banned his post in the meta thread with reason: "meta". This irritated the anon so he complained. His complaints were promptly deleted. This incensed the autist and he went full script kiddie and started spamming the goober thread. At some point, the anon that reported him apologized for doing so in the meta thread. Coyote deleted his apology. This shit is hilarious.

>>128 Censorship and modern degeneration of the gaming medium is the new hot button topic for them. There is some autist called GC fag, well assuming he actually exists, that would argue that games haven't progressed since the GaymeCube. He apparently also shat on Nintendo, so Mark had him pegged as someone with an agenda to shit up the entire board with anti-nintendo posts, and deletes anything he thinks is GCfag as "spam" under the pretense of "preventing console war faggotry". This combined with Mark being a Nintendrone is the root cause of why anon was banned for talking about modern Nintendo censorship, why I was banned for talking about even slightly negatively about some features of a Nintendo emulator, and now why censorship discussion in general is prone to deletion as it's been "associated" with "GCfag behaviours". He later labelled GCfag as a gayops nigger targeting the whole site with "innovative tactics" which is just some new buzzword for COINTELPRO tactics to take a website down by making it uninteresting to post on. He's quickly gone from defending the sanctity of Nintendo to a holy crusade against glowniggers to save the whole site, so he's incredibly zealous about it and he's got Coyote on board with this perspective. At least, that's my educated guess about the recent escalation of his faggotry.

>>131 Oh, and the guy that reported him was just doing it to prove Mark jumps the gun on deleting things just because they're reported. The ironing is pulpable.

>>132 They cry about censorship, yet they fucking nuke anyone who doesn't fall in line with their autism. No wonder why /v/ holds the record of having a fuckton of ramifications.

>>135 Ramifications will never be the same.

>>128 This was what I was talking about, by the way: >>>/v/1074781 Notice >>>/v/1074849 ? It got posted right after the negative replies got scrubbed.

>>137 Jesus, that's a travesty. The only thing about that that's arguably an improvement is some of the still scenes that now have motion, but it would have been a much better idea to remake those stills in the animation style of the animated parts of the original while keeping the original animations. Those old animations are fucking gorgeous.

Damn, the script kiddie is still going in the GG thread. He does realize everyone can just filter him, right? Coyote doesn't ban him and he's been on the same ID for hours.

>>132 >There is some autist called GC fag, well assuming he actually exists, that would argue that games haven't progressed since the GaymeCube. Okay, let me actually EXPLAIN what the fuck my damn argument is. I'm a guy who has bought dozens of vintage games. Something I have noticed when playing dozens of these vintage games is all the amazing technology all of these games have. However a byproduct of this activity is that I'm quickly noticing that the newest games coming out (1) regress in their abilities compared to previous games, (2) attempt to tout age-old tech that has been used effectively for years are something that could "never" be done before without the latest platforms, and (3) look and perform like shit compared to games from 20 years ago. In these arguments, I have almost never defaulted to use the Nintendo GameCube as my primary examples of games showing this tech off. I tend to refer back to games on the PSP (Like Test Drive Unlimited having about 1000 square miles of total free roam or Dynasty Warriors 7 having entire battlefields), the PS2 (Like Haven allows you to explore and entire planet and the space around it, or GT4 running at 1080i 60 FPS), the Dreamcast (Like with Shenmue have an entire living world, or the amazing graphical details in Metropolis Street Racer), the PS1 (Like Martion Gothic Unification have the same real time character swap feature that was almost "impossible" for RE0 to accomplish on the N64, or the geoforming that is present in games like Magic Carpet and Star Fighter), and even the Sega Saturn (Such as the real time lighting shift in GT24) I also bringing up the Wii and 3DS on occasion. The only time I have ever defaulted to using GC games is whenever people have specifically asked for GC games that meet the criteria they demand. And I even then sometimes default to earlier systems or the PSP because of the GC's limitations around size requirements making it's limitations slightly different to that of the PS2. In addition to those arguments, I am not and have never denyed that new technologies are possible. In fact, one sperg likes to keep posting about hardware changes and advancements that have been accomplished over the past 20 years, but he's too fucking retarded to see the irony of his argument that all this new tech should then be resulting in games that look, perform, and play better when the reality is that the "only" games that actually do look, perform, and play better are the games that already exist. On top of that point, and the previous points from earlier, I then keep getting stuck on the argumentative loop of asking what exactly it is about all these new games that's so fucking important that they require all this new technology and power. However by the time the argument always reaches that point, it's already over because the person just calls me stupid and runs off because apparently the reasons are so "obvious" that I'm just too much of a moron to see it. This is also not including the fact that I often do refer to seventh and eighth gen systems in my arguments. In fact, I repeatedly make the point that part of the reason why I refuse to buy a new console is because I do not see any technological reason why it is that newer games would be "impossible" to run on a system like the Wii U or the PS3 (Or even the Vita). Now with that being said, I do know that there is a "reason" why developers don't make games for those systems anymore. In addition to the systems being discontinued, and the questionability of any profit that could be gained from releasing games on those platforms specifically for holdouts like me, modern game engines struggle on platforms with anything less than PS4 specs because those are the platforms they were designed for. I know and understand that. However I find that to be an even more damning reason to hate modern games and developers because it implies that they only care about having access to the most wide-spread and most accessible tools available, and not caring that only a "small" amount of people will be excluded. I know maintaining a game engine is a big task. I'm not going to deny that. But there comes a point when I'm looking at "modern" games that could have been released on the original fucking Xbox demanding 16 GB of RAM. This is also ignoring how majority of that power is wasted on trash like frame generation, bluring, and trasn AA. And it becomes an even bigger joke when the games that "need" all this power are remakes, ports, and/or remasters of games that came out anywhere from 15-30 years ago. So once everything is all said an done, my argument boils down to me hating everything about modern games and modern developers and wanting to see the industry crash. Because there's nothing to be gained using all of the modern, broken, buggy, bloated, and pointless tech. Especially with all the open source tech we have for games and engines over the decades. And even then, I'm still willing to give the concession that I'm open to trying these new games coming out so long as: <They're compatible with W7 <They're released on a DRM-free platform that is not GOG or Itch.io I will admit that I haven't articulated my arguments and points in the best manner, but what can I do at this point (Except be quiet) since there's an entire mythos about me that was created by spergs angry about losing arguments, and autistically lashing out at anyone and everyone who even dares to express a slight grievance about gaming? Feel free to ask me anything else.

>>140 Yeah also I agree with you and so get constantly banned for being you, and theres at least two other guys who agree with us. But mark just declared us all one guy and bans us. So. Idk. Fuck mark basically.

>>140 Happy to be a safe haven for such autism. I think the biggest reason for processing power creep is just fucking gay ass polygon count creep, even in games that don't benefit aesthetically whatsoever from ludicrous amounts of extra triangles, followed by several of the factors you mentioned. >that is not GOG or Itch.io What's wrong with them? They supported poz or something? There's not really a lot of other options as far as I'm aware. What really gets to me is how rare it is for a developer to have their own DRM free website where you can just buy their game from them without any bullshit.

>>142 >I think the biggest reason for processing power creep is just fucking gay ass polygon count creep It was at first, but it's reach the point where it's not even about the polgygons. As another Anon put it, you could take the original Doom, port it to the Quake engine or even the Doom 3 engine, and you suddenly have limitations that didn't exist previously. A "recent" example of this was the Switch port of MKX (Which is on Unreal 3) compared to MK1 (Which is on Unreal 4). Even compare the recent hit comeback of Tokyo Xtreme Racer (First two pics), which has been a massive success by just being the same game from that people remember from 25 years ago, and how the game doesn't look all that much "better" compared to seventh gen racers (RR7, Wangan Midnight, nuMost Wanted), yet it requires so much more power due to it being built in Unreal 5. >What's wrong with them? They supported poz or something? Yes, GOG is owned by CD Projekt and supported DEI, meanwhile Itch.io has done sales themed around everything from BLM to tranny pride. >There's not really a lot of other options as far as I'm aware. The sites listed in this post are the only alternatives AFAIK: >>>/gg/419642

>>143 >The sites listed in this post are the only alternatives AFAIK Seems like the only thing worth a damn in that list as far as DRM free games goes is PlayAsia. And maybe TopHat in the future. They talked about wanting to allow loli but said they'd need to be really successful and build up a war chest first before they could take that legal risk. Right now, they still don't even have a store, and they announced it years ago I think. Doesn't seem like it's actually going to get anywhere.

lol

>He's still going in the goober thread >Mark has designated him as GCfag >>140 Are you responsible for the spam? Or is Mark not the super sleuth he thinks he is?

>>146 Oh, and he's actually hopping IPs now when banned. Mark would be better off not banning him so that he remains filtered by ID for anons.

>>147 >Mark would be better off not banning him so that he remains filtered by ID for anons. No because who ever it is spams so much when he has an episode that he would fill a thread to the bump limit in minutes.

>>128 >>129 >>130 Made a VN thread over here: >>>/a/4573 >>146 >Are you responsible for the spam? No. I actually have a life, which is why I gave up awfully quick after a couple days several weeks ago.

>>148 >No because who ever it is spams so much when he has an episode that he would fill a thread to the bump limit in minutes. Banning him clearly does not prevent this. If TABS isn't active, then banning just makes it so ID filters don't work.

Oh shit, Mark is deleting things on /site/ again, and this time he's editing them so no one can even verify if his deletions are justifiable. I don't know what was deleted, but I saw the edited post for a moment and then this post popped up.

I can confirm something I saw on /site/ about CPU spikes. Every time a post is edited my CPU jumps from 0.5% to 10-15% for the tab he does it on, and power usage spikes with it. Gee Mark, why not save yourself the trouble and just make everyone mine bitcoin to browse these threads?

>>152 >Gee Mark, why not save yourself the trouble and just make everyone mine bitcoin to browse these threads? IIRC, Cuckchan unironically started doing exactly that.

>>153 Wew laddy.

Which is going to hold out longer, Mark or the spammer?

>>155 The spammer I hope. Mark never restores posts, and its been a personal chip on my shoulder for years. God speed to him.

>>156 Mark SOMETIMES restores posts, but restoring posts is tantamount to admitting he's wrong, and the fat jew either refuses to admit when he's wrong or doesn't even think about accepting blame to begin with. Also the log never says when posts are restored, nor does the (deleted) marker disappear unless you refresh.

>>157 Even when he admits hes wrong and lifts a ban he wont restore posts.

Be prepared for another day of autism, boys! Mark still hasn't learned a fucking thing.

>>160 After i got double-banned, i stopped caring and closed all my windows. Let me know when Coyote gets shitcanned so i can go back to calling Mark a fat retard in peace and also staring at the MMO thread as if it'll get any posts.

Tried remaking the Ninty censorship thread over on /v/ since Mark hadn't deleted anything about the Tokyo Clanpool discussion on GoG: https://archive.ph/K2Gb6 And he has since deleted because apparently the "only" person who wants to talk game censorship is "GCtard".

>>172 Do no besmirch the holy name of Nintendo in his presence and you'll be fine.

>>172 I wonder if anons a couple of years back would have ever expected discussion of game censorship to be censored on /v/ of all places. All because a board owner thinks it's too negative and/or because it presents Nintendo in a negative light. There's no way they would have put up with this deleting and editing of posts. This fear of one troll is deterring regular users from posting, which is exactly what "GCtard" wants, whoever that really is. Did Mark wolf down an entire cake on New Years Eve and have a paranoid diabetes-induced vision of 8moe's downfall or something?

>>174 Mark's biases towards certain companies have been well known for years now. It's just that there have been seasons of him being able to hold himself back from massive bouts of retardation. He was doing this kind of shit back in 2015 (usually not entire threads though but it would occasionally happen) , it's just that there were so many users that it would often get lost in the tide of posting, and he would usually eventually rectify it at some point if you complained enough about it. Every so often he acts like a teenage girl on her period and goes on insane banning and deleting sprees like this, it's fucking tedious, only now he seems to be even more stubborn and retarded than he was in the past about it.

>>174 Same as it ever was.

>>177 Cute. I don't recognize her. Is she a new 2hu or an old obscure one?

>>179 not that anon, dunno about 2hu i just see a gif and i immediately convert it to apng

>>180 You're a scholar and a saint.

>>179 I don't have any examples saved on-hand but she's definitely a touhou, i recall seeing her at the end of the shop fusion collab video.

>>182 Namako makes the best big tiddy toe hoes.

>>175 Yeah, that's true. Hopefully that means in time, he will stop acting so foolishly, even if it ends up taking a little longer than usual. >>177 Thanks for converting that to apng, anon. I thought of doing it, but for some reason I can never get them to be under the maximum file size. >>179 She's pretty new, her name is Chimata Tenkyuu. She is the god of the marketplace and first appeared in Touhou 18, which released in 2021.

>>185 >Hopefully that means in time, he will stop acting so foolishly, even if it ends up taking a little longer than usual. We'll find out come April once the Switch 2 specs video finally releases. It's going to be hilarious if he ends up banning half the board.

>>186 >It's going to be hilarious if he ends up banning half the board. That or he edits half the messages so that they just don't say anything at all. I'm marginally more excited to see his reaction than I am to see the specs/video itself. Which I'm sure is a surprise to no one.

>>187 He actually got reprimanded by the higher-ups in the GG thread over it, so, at the very least, he won't be editing every little niggling post.

If I may, I think part of the problem is also just everything over the past year in general. After the massive gaslighting that was happening across every avenue of society (Which really first started under Corona-chan), people just sort of forget what it's like to just relax and take it easy. So now that the "war" for the mind is over with Cheetoh-Man's victory, a lot of people don't know what to do and are still acting out as if Camel Toe won. Whether that be wanting to go full accelerationist or just creating their own little safe spaces.

We topped /vb/!

>>202 /vb/ bros... it's over...

>>202 In my experience, the exact number ebbs and flows; once we beat them for weeks at a time, then i'd consider it a hard victory. Here's hoping.

>>204 I can understand that. I would post more, but my work schedule is having running 10 hour shifts till April. And the times I have free is spent doing other tasks.

>>205 I just plain don't got nothing worth saying, just random bullshit as the mood suits me.

>>202 I wouldn't obsess over muh PPH on a dead board. This place is just a safespace:^) to post things that should be able to be posted on /v/, the /v/ meta thread, or /vb/, but cannot because shenanigans.

>>207 >This place is just a safespace to post things that should be able to be posted on /v/, the /v/ meta thread, or /vb/, but cannot because shenanigans. That's quickly extending to talking about video games in any capacity whatsoever. I just got banned, this time, because of "console war bullshit" when the only thing I can think of even related to the discussion was pointing out how the GC underperformed despite receicing massive third-party support and majority of it's best games failing to sell well.

>>208 didnt suck nintendos cock, ding dong bannu

>>209 It just becomes tiresome very quickly. I've been banned on several occasions for being some incarnation of the "GCtard", but then I'm banned becuse I don't spend enough time defending Nintendo. At the very least, all it does is give me reason not to post on /v/, especially since it seems like Mark is determined to prevent people from posting on the site by running up bypass limit banning and removing posts.

>>208 Any mention of the GameCube in anything but the most positive light is probably seen as "GCtard" and thus console wars, and the thus banned. Additionally, it's seen as gayops by glowies to ruin the site. >>210 Bypass creation was disabled for nearly a day a couple days ago again. Any idea what it was about this time? I didn't see any smoking gun spam. Might not have been a Mark vs. Autist episode.

>>211 >Any idea what it was about this time? I know a week ago one of the admins, probably not Acid since i didn't see an asuka pic, came in to the gamergate thread and told mark and coyote to stop deleting and editing pictures, since i think editing refreshes the page and that fucks with visual memory or some shit, and mark agreed but only if the bypass was disabled so his 'i AM /v/' retardation didn't flare up. No idea about more recently but you might wanna look at the GG thread for any more admin drop-ins, assuming they aren't in the meta or in jewboy's discord instead.

>>212 I think it was Acid, but he generally only avatarfags when addressing anons in general. >mark agreed but only if the bypass was disabled so his 'i AM /v/' retardation didn't flare up. I've seen him turn it off before bed on multiple occasions recently, but that was only during autistic slapfights with (an) anon(s) that spammed in retaliation. This most recent time I saw nothing. I sure hope he's not starting to just turn off bypass creation regularly whenever he's not around as a matter of course. There also just could've been spam elsewhere, like the taco boards.

The site admins explained why things have been so strange lately: >>>/site/10103

>>214 Kinda makes me wonder if we're only being targeted because Trump's in office again.

test

Free once more!

>>215 That could very well be the case, we've all seen how badly some people have taken the news. If people feel justified in looting and being violent irl, there has to be someone that feels like it's justified to target and harass certain sites online. >>219 Free from what exactly? Cute eagle girl

>>220 >Free from what exactly? Never mind, I see now.

Has anyone noticed how often discussions seem to be just repeating themselves? I know this is Mark's biggest complaint about all the "doom and gloom" posts about modern vidya, but it seems to be happening with discussions even related to older games. Like no one has anything actually "new" to say on topics, or everyone just seems to be playing the "exact same games". A recent example of the "alternate versions" thread on /v/, where of course people are going to bring up the likes of Daikatana and Powerslave, but the discussion is inevitably also going to bring up the likes of the Wii version of games like TFU or Transformers: CA, or how a lot of early Aughts PC games were rather terrible (Looking at you Spider-Man 2). And it feels like I've seen or had this same exact discussion before dozens of times. I know there's only so many "new" things you can say before you inevitably have to repeat something, but it just never felt this "bland" before.

>>225 I think you're getting old.

It is with a heavy heart I announce that Mark and Coyote have gotten on my nerves again.

>>229 lol

>>229 Never assume that jewboy isn't a colossal arrogant fuck-up, just know that he's being less of one at any give moment, not because he's gotten better but because he's distracted by something else. I pray for the day he has actual friends, family, and a job so he can focus on that and not on playing king on an anonymous imageboard.

>>229 Best course of action would be to just avoid /v/ and post about content elsewhere.

>>232 Kinda why I made this board.

>>243 Yargh! Three cheers for cap'n Head! Hip hip Hooray! Calooh calaah! Yargh!

>>245 Wonderland?

>>246 Wow, you are well read. Uh I mean basically yeah, but also no. Jabberwocky the poem by Lewis Carroll of alice fame, though it is a separate work. Did not expect someone to spot it that quick tbh.

>>247 In the last few months I read Alice in wonderland, Through The Looking Glass, re-watched the animated movie, and watched both the Johnny Depp movies, before finally playing American McGee's Alice and American McGee's Alice: Madness Returns. I've also play Black Souls 1 and 2, and Alice plays a large role in the second game, being basically the avatar of Nyarlathotep. I really wish McGee had gotten to make that third Alice Game. It was going to be called Alice: Otherworlds, and I get the feeling that it was going to be about how Alice actually has psychic powers, because it's simply not possible to go inside your own head and fix it, especially when someone has drilled holes into and practically lobotomized you., so in the third game she's starts going to other people's heads, seeing other worlds besides her Wonderland. I'll never get to look forward to that though. So instead, I look forward to the thrilling conclusion of an RPGmaker game that's trying to ape the styles and tones of Dark Souls and Bloodborne while greedily ripping things off from them and shoving in more famous fairy tale characters than I can count.

>>247 >>248 A couple more pics.

>>248 >>249 Fascinating anon! Well I never played them american mcgee games but I should download them perhaps. Never tried em before cuz an ex gf loved em, but it's been long enough to where that shouldn't bother me now. I had Carroll on my mind because I was rereading the Amber series by Roger Zelazny.

>>250 No idea who that is, but I may look it up.

>>251 He the guy who taught Neil gaiman and George rr martin how to write, sadly though neither one of them has even a tenth of his talent, and mostly got famous cuz he was a nice guy and they were his friends, basically the first author to say "sci fi and fantasy are two sides of the same coin" and mix mythologies and world building. This sounds pretentious as all hell which he was ever anything but, i cannot recommend his works enough to be frank. Ah how I envy you, to have never read the ten books of Amber before...To not know every line by heart.. you lucky sod

>>250 Also, if you really want more Alice, I do highly recommend the Black Souls series. It's porn, and you can turn the porn off, but I think some important dialogue may occur in a handful of the many h-scenes. I know it happens in the second game. Alice is only in the second game, but you need to play the first one, or you'll have no idea what's going on. The game also evolves the combat so that by the end of the second game +DLC, you can't just stat pump your way through everything, even if you cheat it will still be tricky. Every encounter becomes a puzzle to solve with the tools you have. I believe, and this is strange for RPGmaker shite, that in both games, or at least the second one, you can actually beat everything at level 1 with the right strategy. This facet is another attempt to mimic dank souls, but I find it actually impressive as that's a lot harder to pull off in a turn based RPGmaker game than an action game where you can outright dodge things based on pure skill. And yet, leveling now and then still feels like a natural way to overcome many challenges until the endgame. The art is shitty, but it has just the right vibe to it. It sets the right tone in my opinion. >>252 Ah books. I really only read them in spare time at work. I've been going through Moby Dick for months now. Too many typos. Must sleep.

>>254 Very interesting, yeah I'll have to grab it. >Ah bookses Not a bad book but a bit slow, why thats a tad like reading war and peace on your lunchbreak heh. I do love reading but yeah not enough anons do it to have ever gotten much activity on /lit/, of all my abandoned boards, that one does sting the most.

>>252 >>255 >why thats a tad like reading war and peace on your lunchbreak I tried that too. Got halfway, but then it felt like the author gave his thesis around the middle of the book, I lost interest. I also recently read War of The Worlds. Good shit. Read the The Time Machine too. A couple years back I read the complete works of HP Lovecraft, save for one co-written story that some great great nephew of the co-writer keeps clutching the rights to. Might re-read all his stuff again. My memory of it is pretty foggy.

>>256 Agreed on Tolstoy, and yeah Wells is tremendous fun, did he do 20000 leagues under the sea as well? I cannot recall. HP Lovecraft is always a joy, though as you have discovered, being dead his works are limited. Yeah rights and distant relatives, Zelazny had the same issue after he died, he protected his works hardcore while living, refusing other authors requests to muck around in his playground, and of course no sooner in the grave then his kids were selling the rights to anyone who asked, theyve been trying to make a movie out of Amber for close to twenty years now, even though the witcher series showed that a video game would probably work better for telling the story. Interestingly there WAS a video game made, but it was for Atari, and I've only beaten it once. Bastard of a game.

>>257 >did he do 20000 leagues under the sea as well? No, that was Verne.

Well anyways get some sleep cap'n, and since the jokes no longer quite as funny I'll remove you from/b/. Yer always welcome back obviously, you owned it first.

>>258 Ah Jules Verne, you are correct, quite good as well.

>>259 Oh hai Vamp. It's a small board after all.

>>255 > I do love reading but yeah not enough anons do it to have ever gotten much activity on /lit/ I don't think it's that "not enough" Anons read, and more that people don't tend to talk about what they're reading like they would a show they're watching or a game their playing. Or even a manga they're reading. Part of the problem I find is that there's not a lot to discuss, so I've just never really posted much there. Unless a book really pisses you off, or takes longer than a couple weeks to read, I don't really have a lot to say beyond providing a general overview of the work.

bv is in the top board list lol

>>281 me wen i fuk my biches

>>280 It's not a big deal. This has happened before and usually happens every time someone comes here to complain about Mark. It doesn't take much more than a short burst of activity to make the top boards for a day.

lol

>>228 Don't see how age is a factor when I'm not even old enough to achieve wizardhood yet. Yet even the "Le epic bantz" where people shit on each other feels more like people are doing it in earnest or out of spite rather than "For the lulz".

LOL >>285 Combination of getting older and spending too much time on imageboards.

>>286 Oh, ackshually, Codexx deleted this one, not Mark. So I guess the admins are now in agreement with Mark about deleting meta from the meta thread and that even discussing Mark's recent behavior should be verboten. Well, it's not certain, but it is a red flag and this board may be in danger if this post deletion implies what I think it may imply. Please excuse my retarded assumptions and see >>335 for an explanation on why I am stupid.

>>225 Well, we ARE a small group of people with only so much to talk about. I, for one, could go on about how much i absolutely fucking hate Breath of Fire 5 Dragon Quarter, my god damn white whale holy grail, but i don't usually have the enthusiasm to give my fucking JRPG manifesto to random motherfuckers and so only save it for when someone says that actually like dragon quarter. I've never even played anything you've mentioned, but i DO have experience with Epehemral Fantasia, Dot Hack GU, and Phantasy Star Universe. Also, you know, every day is repost day.

>>289 >save it for when someone says that actually like dragon quarter I like dragon quarter. I just think it shouldn't have been a Breath of Fire game.

>>290 See, THAT is a very valid opinion and i support it. If it were called something else entirely and not 'Breath of Fire 5', i wouldn't hang it on killing my beloved jrpg series. But also you're wrong, it's shit, i hate everything about it, but i DOUBLE SUPER HATE that it's BOF5.

>>291 To be honest, I've never finished it. I always get to the fairy minigame, realize how exploitable it is, and then burn myself out trying to get the absolute most out of it. I'm just too autistic for games that are limited resources+JRPG combat with minor RNG involved. It's not a series of puzzles, the whole game is one giant continuous puzzle, and you don't have much hope of solving it except through extremely time consuming trial an error as you learn the particulars of the game from beginning to end. Or you can similarly waste time building up NG+ resources as intended. It's the same design as a survival horror, except instead using skill to get through tight spots when low on resources, you use a minor amount of strategy, or you go back several hours and try to do everything a little bit better with trial and error knowledge you've gained. The only time I've seen this sort of long continuous puzzle of the whole game work well in my opinion, is a duology of h-games, Lulufarea. But that works because the games are fairly short so you can be reasonable expected to learn everything about them to complete them more efficiently, on top of the games not being based on RNG whatsoever. I think maybe Parasite Eve might have pull this off in a JRPG system, but I haven't played that yet.

>>292 >breath of fire 5 >fairy minigame you better chiggity-check yourself before you wriggity-wreck yourself; also the fairy game in three and four was fairly hands off, just walk away son jesus christ, theres monsters to violently murder with nina the daughter of zeus

>>290 It definitely shouldn't have been a bof game, but furthermore, its kinda shit game.

>>225 >Like no one has anything actually "new" to say on topics, or everyone just seems to be playing the "exact same games". >I know there's only so many "new" things you can say before you inevitably have to repeat something, but it just never felt this "bland" before. Because we are going through a period with next to no new and notable games. Series that once provided an interesting and valuable experience have been tainted or simply haven't come out with anything recently. And companies are paying the price for it, too. Of course this won't go on forever, but right now there just aren't any good, innovative, fresh titles to talk about. There is some potential in the indie scene, but there are a lot of developers there that are just as bad/compromised as the ones at AAA companies. Things haven't been this dry for a long time.

Why not just go to zzzchan?

>>304 Because the websites set up like ass and won't let me even look at it?

>>304 I look though ZZZchan when i think of it, but tragically i have nothing to say, on /v/ or /b/. I barely have anything to say on this site's /v/, either, which is why i took to squatting in the GG thread and shitposting as the occasion struck me.

>>304 >ziggerchan Wew, I only started checking them out again in the last 2-3 months. It's been years since I stopped paying attention to them and the site's only gotten worse somehow. >>284 >>286 Mark's a retard but if he actually deleted admin posts, he's approaching Imkampfy levels of retardation, which is impressive in a morbid sort of way. It didn't end well for him and it won't end well for Mark.

>>304 >Why not just go to zzzchan? I do. But I already talked about certain games here, and if I went there to talk about them right after Mark ding dong bannu'd me, other crossposters may take notice and stir shit. Also, I wanted to bitch about Mark freely without being drowned out on /b/, and ziggerchan is no place for 8moe/v/ meta shittery.

>>308 He only deleted Admin (Codexx), not Root (Acid), if I recall correctly which title refers to which. Codexx then deleted Root, which implies to me he and Acid are now in agreement, or close to it, that discussing Mark's behavior and asking about deleted posts in the meta thread is "gayops to ruin the site". If that is true, this whole board could be labeled gayops and nuked, along with my other dead board, and my likely removal from two legacy porn boards for "participating in gayops". Please excuse my retarded assumptions and see >>335 for an explanation on why I am stupid.

>>309 >other crossposters may take notice and stir shit Wasn't it entirely manufactured about how you cannot have the "same threads" on Sleepy/v/ as you do on Moe/v? Because that autism never made any sense. >>310 >and my likely removal from two legacy porn boards for "participating in gayops". What? Care to expand on that because the only thing I've seen lately in regards to porn BOs changing hands was in regards to /sm/.

>>308 >and the site's only gotten worse somehow Elaborate >>309 >ziggerchan is no place for 8moe/v/ meta shittery I thought the purpose of this board was a /v/ free of Mark's tyranny. Not one that exists for the primary purpose of meta shittery Pic unrelated.

>>312 > Care to expand on that I've pretty much already summed it up. If Acid and Codexx agree with Mark's strategy of deleting the questioning of post deletions even in the meta thread, even if you're the god damned site owner capcoding, all because "it's gayops", then the entire existence of this board would by that logic be "gayops". In that case, not only would this board be liable to be removed, I most likely would be labeled a bad actor and have my other boards stripped from me. Granted, I'm a pessimist, so I see the worst in everything. Please excuse my retarded assumptions and see >>335 for an explanation on why I am stupid. >>313 It's dual purpose. People only use this board to be free of Mark, and don't want to use zchan for whatever reason, therefore most of them when they first come here will be complaining about Mark because they cannot complain about Mark on his boards. Now generally, such complaints ought to be limited to the meta thread here, at least if they drag on, but in the spirit of this board being half /b/, I've made no such mandate.

>>313 >I thought the purpose of this board was a /v/ free of Mark's tyranny. Honestly, I don't see myself posting anywhere but here for vidya content when Mark is removing random ass posts for absolutely zero reason.

>>317 You say that now, but give it time. You'll be dying for the kind of engagement that a board that isn't dead gives you. Just like slow forums, slow boards can be comfy, but ultimately, they are the last stage before death.

>>318 >You'll be dying for the kind of engagement that a board that isn't dead gives you What "engagement" when regular ass posts, that say abosutely nothing offensive, get deleted?

>>319 Those deleted by fagmods will always be in the minority. There's still tons of engagement in spite of the meddling.

>>310 For such a short paragraph, you got nine different things completely ass backwards. I'm actually impressed.

>>318 >>320 Go fucking kill yourself mark, stop trying to gayop your own goddamn anons you miserable piece of shit.

>>322 >>322 lol

#Trolled

>>323 Oh its head gayopping. Yeah you know what? Maybe having head make the new /v/ was the most retarded fucking idea ever, if I wasnt so desperate I would have said something. Fucking to hell with it. Just let it all die.

>>325 >Being pessimistic is a gayop I guess I was niggerpill all along.

>>327 Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.

>>328 >Ironic You mean facetious, and it isn't, because I'm genuinely pessimistic. Also, shitposting is cool, yo.

>>329 Your concerns are genuine? Well shit. I just come here to joke around man, but. Well if you are indeed serious. Reply and say exactly that, and you will get an actual response to those concerns. Its april first so I can bend a few rules.

>>330 I do not observe April Fool's day, because I am always a fool. But yes, I think imageboards are probably doomed, but this one is probably the most deplatforming proof, so this is my favored site.

>>331 Check ur trash

>>332 i dunno, i think having a public slapfight might help to shame the fat fuck into realizing what a retard hes being, especially since he has the habit of trying to bury his shame over and over again like nobody will remember it

>>333 >Check ur trash No need, everyone can see deleted posts if they have a thread open before a post is deleted. And I don't see a need for you to delete your post either. This board is half /b/, it doesn't need to be very neat and tidy with certain topics kept hidden away for fear of derails or what have you. If you really want a private conversation for whatever reason, I don't think this is the place for it. >>332 >Codexx and Acid are both Root Ah shit, I always thought just one of them was Root and I just couldn't remember which. I rarely see Codexx capcode though. >Codexx forgot his capcode was on and was just trying to anonymously bitch at mark, he deleted his post cuz his capcode was in fact on. Okay, that's good. My fears of Mark's "everything is gayops" fever infecting the administration are quelled. >Now ask another question Do I have to? If I have to state some other more minor concerns, it would be a bit about transparency. This site is far more transparent than most when it comes to how moderation works, but I think a few tweaks may be necessary, like adding post restorations to the public logs, and I think something needs to be done about the potential shady that shit could be conducted with post editing since absolutely no one can see what was in an edited post as far as I know. Huge potential for sneaky shit, but I do take advantage of it to censor pedo links from deleted posts, so I guess it's a double edged sword? On the non-technical side, I think I've already stated on /site/ what I think of how Acid has handled the new Esther situation. Found it, >>>/site/10107 I really was not expecting any admins to visit this board for any reason, let alone be concerned about me doomposting to an audience of maybe three anons at best.

>>335 Oh, there's something I didn't know about editing posts. Post links retro-actively edited into a post do not generate the reverse link on the referenced post.

>>334 There is something to be said for that for sure. And yeah, a good point. >>335 Well we are never on irc at the same time so here is where it will have to be. Globals are forbidden to namefag or capcode, a policy I am obviously trying to change. Transparency is important. Tbh I think the policy was just to stop kaz sperging and embarrassing everyone, but hes years gone now As for your suggestions, they are excellent, I'll raise them tonight with the guys. Id love restorations to be in the logs, along with a patch or two to prevent unlogged deletions a mod trick kaz taught me, we never found a practical use for it though and forgot about it til recently when codexx asked how was mark fucking with anons and not being logged doing it, fucking jackass that he is, anyway thats already being patched Post editing has yeah, recently shown itself to have some bad uses >>336 Including this one I didn't even know about, yeah ima look into this. >I really was not expecting any admins to visit this board for any reason, let alone be concerned about me doomposting to an audience of maybe three anons at best Yeah but I'm one of the anons, you have no idea how intensely frustrating it is to watch an entire website but not be allowed to actually post with anons because marks a giant cock sucking bastard, who has prolly banned me more than any other anon. So I do appreciate someone giving me a place to interact with the anons I watch out for all day. I don't mind working so you guys have somewhere you can be free, to talk about what the fuck ever, but to do the work and know its pointless.... Well its goddamned demoralizing tbh. So I appreciate you having a board for vidya where I won't get banned just for saying breath of fire 5 is dogshit, and as my earlier post said, zzz blocks me fallout from kaz. He's still angry at me, a shame. I really do think of him as a friend and still miss him so. Where else would I be? I think even Acid would like somewhere to talk about vidya without the kike causing problems So. This is enough stuff to maybe get me in trouble, but idk. I wanna talk too sometimes, and transparency is important. Anyways your boards safe, and you have an advocate, personally, on your side. Just do me a favor and lemme know if /b/ is ever in trouble, I really don't know what I'm doing there I gotta get back to the site now, busy day.

>>337 >Just do me a favor and lemme know if /b/ is ever in trouble, I really don't know what I'm doing there I hardly every look at look at it.

>>338 In fact, I can't recall why I ever took over /b/ in the first place. To shit on LCP and ban niggery? Yeah, that sounds probable.

>>338 Okay then join the board ring. The ring of non aligned boards has only one requirement for entry, and thats adding the other boards to your banner message. [Weapons](/k)|[Queen Grace's Royal Palace](/monarchy)|[Politically Incorrect](/polk)|[Video Games](/abdl)|[Books](/lit)|[Role Playing Games](/tg)|[comfy posting](/comfy) Thats /b/s code I worked out with Chai back in 2020, actually looking at now reminds me I need to update it to active boards, anyways, for obvious reasons you can add your own boards you think are similar in temperament to create cross flow.

>>340 >[Video Games](/abdl)

>>340 >Okay then join the board ring. k done >[Weapons](/k)|[Queen Grace's Royal Palace](/monarchy)|[Politically Incorrect](/polk)|[Video Games](/abdl)|[Books](/lit)|[Role Playing Games](/tg)|[comfy posting](/comfy) Oh, so that's how that works and is formatted.

Was the Nintendo Switch 2 thread really just locked because there was too much criticism of Nintendo?

>>347 Most of the "criticism" was unironically niggerpill IP hopping. That being said, we do have our own thread: >>>/bv/344

>>349 Yeah it definitely was, but there is legitimate criticism too, I wonder why the niggerpill posts weren’t just deleted? And thanks, I’ll check out the thread.

>>350 And most people can tell the difference between the two. I think Mark does too, but just pretends not to so he can lump all the posts he dislikes with niggerpill and delete them.

>>356 He definitely does, its just a convenient excuse to lump them together.

>>358 and maintain plausible deniability*
