Gmod Anonymous 01/20/2024 (Sat) 03:20:44 Id: 680555 No. 928541
Lately I've noticed that, no matter how much time passes, the average age of players on Garry's Mod multiplayer servers tend to remain overwhelmingly little kids or young teens. It got me thinking: What exactly is it that keeps new young players coming to Gmod? It's not like it's a particularly popular game compared to most flavor of the month or meme games that kids tend to gravitate towards, like Minecraft or Fortnite. And the Gmod machinima craze has been dead for nearly a decade now. In my mind, if the same players were playing the game constantly, there would eventually be fewer kids. What is it about the game that causes it to attract a seemingly constant stream of new players? Also, Gmod autism thread, I guess.

There is fucking paid GMod mods. can't believe this shit exist. Appearntly some of those kikes justified this by because server owners make money with their servers. Yeah well and what about people who play GMod in singleplayer only or don't earn money from it, I guess they are fucked then huh unless they pay up just so that they can play a mod which lets them sell trash for money?

I want to take a minute to lament whatever the fuck Garry is doing with S&box. I used to post a lot of updates about that game here and I've lost all interest. It's not even in Source 2 anymore.

>>928633 The item shops and paid benefits on some of these servers are downright predatory. No lie, they make even the most jewish of AAA company practices look like a fucking joke.
>>928541 I don't think Garry's Mod is good at attracting younger players as much as older players stop playing. >>928635 I saw somebody say "I wanted Garry's Mod 2, not Facepunch Presents: Roblox" which sums up my feelings about S&Box.
(115.34 KB 488x516 no fun.jpg)

>>928637 >I don't think Garry's Mod is good at attracting younger players as much as older players stop playing. That's what I would have thought as well, but even checking it out years and years after I've played it last, it still seems to always just be overwhelmingly kids. To the point where even the staff on most of the servers are kids themselves. I just cannot figure out where the fuck all these kids keep coming from, but evidently somehow there is a steady stream of them that seems to be replacing the older batch of little kids as they grow up. It's kind of a shame because the difference between any given public server and just a bunch of friends goofing off is astronomical. Just the other day I played a few rounds of TTT with some friends for shits and giggles on a server one of them hosted, and the difference between that and the public TTT experience was fucking night and day. You can actually use your head and deduce shit and kill Ts without having to wait and watch them kill somebody right in front of you first, and you won't get some pre-pubescent kid screeching about RDM. So many of the gamemodes actually have potential to be fun, but this community just seems to put so much effort into having as little fun as possible, with anything, and I don't even know why.

>>928636 They want to take money from kiddos which they totally legitimately acquired it from their parents credit card. I stopped playing GMod now because I am too fucking lazy unfucking my shit after my great idea paying 20 bucks on a pirate site that lets me graciously unlock 2 links per day just so that I can have those damned paid mods for my GMod. I downloaded one of those mega pirated GMod packs and it fucked up my GMod installation where shits gets awfully bugged now because the lazy ass pirate couldn't be bothered to properly package his pirated mods so that I can know what the fuck I am installing. Before that I had edited some of GMod mods from steam workshop so that I can have a somewhat solo DarkRP experience by earning money from crafted beverages but now its gonna be pizdets because I need to figure out how to unfuck my shit, I guess I would have to nooook my Gmod folder and start from scratch again then god damn it. and also playing with various types of tanks and killing niggers on maps that are viable for driving tanks and vehicles at.
>>928541 >What exactly is it that keeps new young players coming to Gmod? My guess is Skibidi toilet.
It's more shocking that gmod is still a popular game. It still costs money, right? It's not like there was some free giveaway or it got bundled in with a bunch of other popular games or something, did it? >>928671 What an odd legacy Half-Life has had, over 20 years now and somehow it's still both incredibly contemporary to gaming (through memes, gmod, and mods) while also relatively unknown to most of the general audience (or at least before Half-Life: Alyx came out, and even then I wonder how many people outside of the "Youtube/lore" sphere know about the rest of the Half-Life universe beyond it). It makes me wonder how Marc Laidlaw feels about this all, or most of the original dev team.
>>928706 Marc Laidlaw made 45 videos reacting to skibidi toilet

>>928671 Fuck, you're probably right. My brain had completely shut that shit out.
>>928541 Is the Facepunch forums site archived? There's so much forgotten drama that are 10 times more entertaining than playing in a Gmod's server. I still remember the little shit who wanted to nuke the site because he got banned and even made a video about it how mad he was.

>>928825 I secretly hope not because I left quite a bit of underage autism on that shithole when I was a teenager.
>>928671 This video is what got me into GMOD, don't know if that's better or worse. I don't understand why people hate that kids like Skibidi Toilet, it's as silly and nonsensical as DasBoschitt or Kitty.
>>928872 are we posting gmod classics? i unironically love the tf2 freaks like painis and vagineer, the retarded amount of lore autists write for these fuckers is hysterical: https://tf2freakshow.fandom.com/wiki/TF2_FreakShow_Wiki
>>928877 I used to watch Ashhousewares445 and Rubberfruit as well. Gmod is a haven for creativity and autism, it's a great toybox.
>>928877 I remember one very specific gmod shitpost on 2fort where a rendition of "Orange was the color of her dress, then blue silk" would play at the very beginning. Any one know if that video is still up?

>>928877 There's a really -really- old Gmod video, possibly one of the first, that I've been looking for these last 10 years. I think it got deleted off of youtube because I can't find it. Nobody but me remembers it, let alone is able to reproduce it. Basically it's a Gmod Zombie Survival guide and the narrator has this pretty bored voice describing how to survive against zombie invasions. One joke was about how you may have left the stove on before you left the house, another was some guy beating a zombie dude over and over because he heard him groan, and the last bit was something like the narrators going through lists of guns saying which one is the best at killing zombies. Please tell me someone remembers, or better yet has it saved?

>>947195 It's not the passage of time or growing older and responsabilities that kills me, it's the fact that western society gets worse by the day and is on the way out.
>>947195 >2006 Man... I still to this day miss playing with my uncle's Xbox in saturday after a long week in the school playing San Andreas while he talked to his gf in Messenger... And awaiting the Christmas Eve with some cousins playing bloody roar xtreme in his Xbox. Now he has a Little child, is in Another country, same with my cousin, and we don't talk too much since he left and needed time for his work, and sometimes i don't wanna talk to anybody after work because i'm absurdly tired... Sorry, that kind of things make me a Little emotional... Even moreso because today is my birthday, and i'm 23 right now, and talking to him was... Kinda like talking a Little bit with an old friend I just miss those days sometimes when this shithole of a country wasn't THAT fucked Beyond repair... Maybe tomorrow this feeling will pass like the other times, but right now... I feel a Little uneasy and emotional
>>947247 Just remember that at some point, they'll die. And you won't even notice because you haven't talked to them for awhile. They'll just stop picking up the phone for a bit, then someone else will answer.

Alright, I now have for the first time a completely legitimate copy of Gmod on a computer with a working internet connection after playing it once around 10 or so years ago. What should I check out first?
>>947317 Play prop hunt or a zombie survival map if those are still popular. God I miss the zombie escape days on Counter Strike Source. The gmod ones aren't as good.
>>928636 Didn't one of them manage to dox anyone from the Balkan peninsula for sharing his mods? The one who was behind the parkour mod?
>>947292 >>947300 >in 5 years I'll be a wizard
>>947691 What magic powers are you hoping to attain?
>>947319 >God I miss the zombie escape days on Counter Strike Source I think one of them is still around like NideGG last I checked a few years ago but some big servers like GFLclan moved to CSGO when it became more popular But yeah, I still remember I watch a ton of zombie escapes on youtube and I dont have any money or good laptop, it was not untill around 2013 that I save up some money and played the fuck out of it along side gmod and tf2
>>928541 I'm baffled. I used to play gmod back in 2011, I would stay up for hours and hours at night. Can't believe its still popular. I guess its because you cant really ever reach a limit of what is possible in gmod. Wiremod used to blow my mind back in the day, I never fully worked it all out.
Forever and eternal
>>947317 download all of the addons

>>948341 It seems to be an unwritten rule of gmod that every single server without exception will have you waiting for half an hour or so to download gigabytes upon gigabytes of useless addons that you will never see or make use of half the time.
>>948341 Absolutely, it's part of the experience. >>948453 And then after you wait ten minutes to download all of the addons, the map changes.

Apparently facepunch is deleting all Nintendo related addons
>>962334 They're incompetent at finding out what is really going on, some guy larping as a Nintendo lawyer took manners into his own hands and start spamming DMCA's everywhere like the useful retard he is. Hopefully SFMLab are accepting Gmod's deleted addons, the workshop was a fucking mistake and Garry Newman has proved once again how much of a cuckold he is.
>>962367 Is it not fair use? Also how the hell does one mistake an email from a LARPer as a serious Nintendo lawyer?

>>928541 My guess is a mix of old Gmod youtubers/kids finally getting a PC to play it (pics related) it seems like every year Gmod infects another generation of kids with autism i.e Skibidi Toilet for my generation it was SFMs, Gmod skits, parodies and animations. I guess it also comes from other Valve games like TF2 and CS.
>>962367 >>962499 I hate that the whole internet has become so compliant towards copyright law. 10 or 15 years ago nobody gave a fuck about this sort of thing, now they can't wait to report a mod that infinges copyright and then cheer when it gets removed. It's not even just autistic jannies doing this, it's average users. They're all excessively concerned with ownership of data. The old pirate attitude has completely vanished. What the fuck happened?
>>962555 Normalfags happened, now we have a whole generation who grew up with this corporate hellhole internet filled with shilling, Pajeets and geriatric boomers.
