Shittiest taste in anime and video games.

Serperoth posted:

I was on 4chan for a while, a couple of years ago, and never once heard that term. But it does sound like something /v/ would say so I'm not going to doubt it.

Speaking of /v/, I once added someone from a Steam friends thread.
<snipped>

I ended up gifting some other person some Thief games as I recall.

Why do people beg like that? I understand asking for free stuff, and I'm no stranger to receiving gifts myself, but I don't think I could ever bring myself that low.

Because people would do anything to get something, especially /v/irgins.

/v/ (and /vg/, essentially /v/ without brevity) have always been a really, really sad community, but the steam friends thread is incestuous with the TERA, FFXIV and TES threads and all four of them have developed this creepy prison-gay typefucking culture. Unless you're specifically hunting for gamers.txt fuel, I would recommend staying out of all four if you're insistent on going to 4chan.

Basically, the steam friends thread is a thinly veiled cyber-hookup thread so I would stay away from it unless you're looking to be some dude-pretending-to-be-a-girl's (in the literal sense, I don't mean that as a slur against the transgendered) sugar daddy.

Maybe. Those type of people aren't always /v/irgins, weirdos are everywhere in this world. Also if they are, /v/irgins are lonely and desperate, so that explains why most go that route.

It should be, "a place that allowed anonymous users to post a bunch of underage women and did nothing about it until called on it, although it still houses tons of lolicon and other weird poo poo" but it's too long to say each time.

Huh, I guess that description generic enough to apply to both Reddit and 4chan.

4chan's policy has always been to delete child porn on sight and report the offending IP to the authorities.

If you're talking about the lolicon boards that got deleted like 8 years ago, or jailbait which became a bannable offense at the same time, :ssh: there was plenty of that on DPPH, and DPPH didn't get taken down over a sudden moral epiphany from the community :ssh:

The community's loving gross, though, you guys hit that nail on the head. The cooking board's pretty alright though.

Sad to say, but the pedos aren't the immediate worst part of 4chan. They seem to feel enough shame to stick to their own threads unless challenged. The edgy racist types are the ones who are posting in all threads at all times, trying to enforce... whatever it is they consider proper behaviour. These are usually the guys engaging in console wars, and complaining about Gone Home and Twitch streamers and anyone who admits to unironically enjoying a video game.

But nobody seems to call them on it, because why would you bother? I'm not sure it matters anymore whether you mean it or not.

Anyway, not to say that being obnoxious is worse than being a pedophile, but to even find the pedos you'd have to wade through pages of hilarious ironic racism (which, again, I don't think is all that ironic anymore) and waifus and screaming tantrums about Smash Bros.

edit: I won't even go on /pol/ so I can't speak to it, but I think all that hanging around the ironic racism has just rubbed off on a lot of these people (remember most of them are kids or young adults). You can see, during the rare actual discussions on the board, that they throw in 'jew' as a verb all the time, and I don't think they're trying to be provocative or even aware of what they're doing, it's just crept into their vocabulary (their online vocabulary, anyway, who knows if they're dumb enough to use it in public).

I'm just gonna own up to it and explain the situation. I was responsible for bringing up SA. I recommended the Japanese learning thread to someone who was talking about learning and people got a bit upset about that. For reference the guy who posted that big long mess is a user known as Gatchan. Anyone familiar with Super Robot Wars knows he had a hand in pissing off a translator so bad dropped translating one of the GBA games. Now whether this guy is the real deal or not, no ones knows but he acts just like him so take that as you will. I brought that up, and he just went a little bonkers and posted a few posts like that. There ya go, saves you from a) visiting 4 chan and b) reading through almost 1200 posts consisting of mostly garbage.

Sexy bad choices

FAILED NOJOE
This is old but I like it. Some time ago the developers of Warframe, a TPS loot game about space ninjas, finally decided to allow players to trade certain rare weapon parts. Before that the only way to get them was grinding same levels over and over and over again and hoping that RNG won't screw you over (so basically just like any loot game ever :v:). Some spergers did not like that:

:spergin: posted:

DON'T YOU DARE!

DE Sheldon THIS IS THE ONLY TIME NOT TO LISTEN TO PLAYERS!

trading prime parts??????? this was my favorite bad idea in my bad ideas thread. this will take out the luster of having THE PRIME

A prime is essentially showing a players' experience through the monsters of grinding, loosing hope, regaining that hope, and pushing themselves to the limit to literally GO FOR THE GOLD.

Please just PLEASE don't do this. I know this is prime part trading is your way of increasing your profits exponentially but think what it does to people who grind grind grind just to have these beautiful trophies. To show other players that he has accomplished some of the harder feats in this game.

Having a primed weapon, warframe, etc. is showing other players that you made it through that echelon, the primes show that this player is a pure tenno who has committed himself to this game because they loved it with all their heart and soul.

Explain this to me DE, what happens to a game where its easy to get ALL the best weapons and ALL the best armor? It becomes unplayable. With the lines between new players and ranked veterans smashed to bits with this feature your trying to implement this game will become absolutely pointless to play as there is no GOAL WEAPONS AND ARMOR to strive for.

I myself have been grinding day in and day out for the burston prime barrel, as it is the last piece i require for this prime weapon, and every day i go up to 40 mins with nothing but tower 1 keys and a few uncommon cores. but you know what? i am still determined to get that damned BARREL you know WHY? because then i will BE part of that upper Echelon of players who have gave it their all to strive for this weapon, some more than others. I am rank 11, almost 12 and i STILL haven't gotten my orthos prime yet because i keep getting tower keys, cores, and handles. BUT I STILL KEEP GOING CAUSE I KNOW ITS WAITING FOR ME!

Most of the time when i get the piece for my prime weapon/warframe it is usually the same day im having fun with my friends in the game and that i didn't care for it at the moment. Then when i see the component on the rewards indicator at the end of the mission I FLIP MY S**T run around the house and scream in joy, scaring the crap out of my dog and sister in the process.

Putting in trade-able prime parts will ruin the game NOT ONLY because of the pay - to - win taking over this game completely. but also the loss of HOURS of replay value. I MEAN WHAT IS THE POINT OF PLAYING A TOWER WHEN I CAN BUY THE REWARDS FROM SOMEONE ELSE?????

As i watch comments being added to this forum as i type this plea, i wonder how many are with me in this subject? probably none, maybe some, never all.

You HAVE TO UNDERSTAND DE please! I am never one to complain in this game, never said one bad thing about it, and tried to be up to date on it as much as possible. This is legitimately the first MMO i have ever come to love enough to be courageous enough to talk on the forums and share some of my art. I have tried my best to make friends in this community through my gameplay and chatting in the forums posting sometimes funny pictures of me screwing up in a tower parkour or being chase/beaten to death by the stalker in my soloing. Hek! one time my computer froze when i was trying to make a booben helmet alert thread and it ended up creating 4 threads, to which a moderator gave me a warning post. That warning post made me have a nervous breakdown, funny enough, i explained it to that person and they lifted the warning point, then i felt so much better i took another grinding escapade for the burston prime and got the last piece for my bronco prime :D

I have accumulated friends in this game that respect me for being kind and generous to players from giving them free rare mods, to which they have been trying their hardest to grind but to no avail, to helping them grind for the parts and being able to see them loose their s**t in the process, a timeless classic.

This post may get swept up and lost in between the players who would love this game-destroying feature implemented, as well as maybe some who see this great flaw it doesn't matter to me.

I do not speak to you DE as a customer, i speak to you now as a friend whom you never met, or even talked to. Please don't do this to your game,

~This will bring about its end

This is so common, it's sad. They don't realize how niché entertainment works and assumes it must work like television networking in America and that everything that airs or gets produced must be somewhat accepted on a general level, even when that isn't really even true of western television anymore either.

Japan is not the "happy" place these people imagine it would be.

Pol is a pretty good example of how ironic racism easily attracts actual racists too stupid to tell the difference and pretty soon you're swamped in posts that are the personification of Poe's Law.

I mean it's amusing to see people constantly fighting over whether the "mudslimes" or the jews are the greatest threat to the world but it gets sad pretty quickly when you realize that by the law of averages some of those posts have to be dead serious.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an rear end in a top hat. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFXIII for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.

Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFXIII for 360 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

I'm getting back into ROM hacking again, this time the Pokémon games since I enjoy that series, I was hoping to find out how the Pickup ability works in Emerald since I've only seen a breakdown of the simpler version in Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed and LeafGreen, so I search "pickup" and filter it to a site I know to have a large hacking subcommunity.

Unfortunately, I failed to also filter it to posts actually about ROM hacking, so I found a thread which linked to this cringeworthy excuse for a website, featuring delightful phrases such as...

quote:

Do you wanna battle? 'Cuz my balls are at the ready!

quote:

Looking at your rear end makes my bulba soar.

quote:

...and more. There's apparently a Facebook group, but thankfully since Facebook doesn't have a me account I can't see what kind of horror lurks within.
