I dunno. I definitely see it Unironically. Do you want reports, or is gamefaqs posting cool now?

All I can go off is what I see in reports since it's not really feasible to see every post in every thread, and from what I have seen recently is maybe 1 report for Stux that mentioned his lovely typing. I elected to let it stand because it's Stux and he's a dumbass and I punish him a lot for other things that aren't really as minuscule as lovely typing

who was it

Games is pretty darn good. Even the regular Dota thread is tolerable and has actual discussion more often than not.

I will say I've seen posts like:

"Mods?!!"

More recently and they are always a waste of space.

I think the stupid meme-y lovely posts like "MODS!?" after a dissenting opinion can get tiresome and overused, so banning fuckheads that spam the same kind of lame one word meme posts over and over would be a good move

shui the gently caress up

I like Games this year more than I did last year. I was pretty skeptical of the shitposter thunderdome but it actually seems to have made most of the participants either calm down or outright go away so maybe I didn't know what I was talking about.

Take care.

For a few years now, Games to me has been the Vita thread, the Fallout New Vegas thread, and anything XCOM. Other threads do not exist, largely because my Vita is my only gaming device; I read the Fallout and XCOM threads out of fond remembrance. One time I read the Pillars of Eternity thread but that was only to complain about how long it took for me to receive my physical copy (I received it late July because I am on an island--the internet is not reliable enough to download anything, and the other month we ran out of rice for several weeks). Of course the game doesn't work on my machine, but that's perhaps my fault as one of my laptops is rather old and the other lacks a disk drive. Perhaps in a year or so I will get the chance to enjoy it.

Overall I feel like Games is one of the healthier sections of SA. Ever since GBS became FYAD-lite it's the only part of SA I frequent with any regularity, save for occasionally checking Ask/Tell for something interesting (there often isn't). It makes me feel connected to the world outside my island. One time a goon even sent me some games (Killzone and Uncharted), so there's that.

On a few occasions I have read the Game Developers thread, which I have found to be unintentionally comedic as game developers take their jobs very, very seriously. It's actually a good thing for someone to care about their work, of course, but here in the Federated States of Micronesia one can become easily frustrated at how little foreign presences care about the place. These days I have more respect for game developers than I do the UN, IOM, the embassies of several nations, and a plethora of NGOs that seem to excel at causing abject and profound harm. Meanwhile, nobody knows or cares because let's face it: do *you* know where the Federated States of Micronesia is? So it's really nice to read about people who have passion for what they do. It makes me wonder if sometime I ought to work in the field.

If nothing else, I appreciate how SA still has some degree of discussion and passion. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but I'm not aware of another site that offers what SA does. SA provided me a means of venting about Natural Doctrine, which is either the love of my life or as abusive and bad for me as my former fiance, and for that I am grateful.
