Thread 64487239

Heres a trip down memory lane. Does anyone know what happened to the website?

He stopped paying for the domain. Everything somewhat socially related on 4chan dies due to newfag influx. The /k/ Steam Group died, the /k/ meetups died, and the weekend /k/ movie streams died. Schizos from /pol/ killed everything off with their constant shitposting and accusing everyone of being fed.

>>64487359
Jesus that makes me feel old. I still remember getting my picture in the 2015 summer /k/lass photo. I also remember when kommandostore was nugget enterprises. Time flies...

I deeply miss pre-2016 election 4chan.

>I deeply miss pre-2016 election 4chan.
You and me both, buddy.

>>64487359
/pol/ is incentivized not to gatekeep given what their board is about. it's /b/ but with an agenda, and the trash of the board spills over into everywhere else. but it's too late to try and bring back the culture of open hostility to newfags. i'm at least glad 4cc still kicks around though.

>>64487415
>>64487421
Theres that feeling on zzz. I miss mcniggerator and some of the old tripfags.

>>64487359
>blaming /pol/ for everything
Either a discord troon or reddit sѹfaggot.

>>64487359
>/k/ steam group
damn. I miss playing Red Orchestra and Project Reality with the boys.

>>64487359
>your mind on estrogen

/pol/ was always a natural ally board and normal recruiting ground for /k/ until Eglin AFB couldn't cope with the 2016 election outcome and tightened moderation. Afterwards it was just a constant way down, culminating in 2 years of drone gore spam that only dried up because the Ukraine rarely kills someone these days.

Reminds me of joining one of the several Fall of Prokrovsk livestreams. The meltdown is expected to be severe, especially since you still have propaganda running like picrel

Wtf?

>>64487359
Oldfag here, if you want a social community you have the rest of the internet, here we are anonymous.

>>64488273
dumb newfaggot

>>64488275
The war tourist newfags on here hate the anonymous nature of this website and the lack of upvoting / downvoting. That's why they constantly accuse every single poster who disagrees with them of actually being some singular character they've invented in their hands. The lack of persistent identities is literally breaking their brains and turning them into paranoid schizophrenics lmao

>>64488275
>>64488280
>in their hands
their heads* lol

Ain't that the truth

You can't just make up nonsense words and expect to be understood faggot.

I spent a few years on twice the chan and by the time I came back here that had already started,

>>64488292
Samefag.

>>64488297
I never went over there because it felt like even more a fed honeypot than this does.

>>64488301
The mass censorship here really pissed me off, still does, it was clear m00t was selling with the way he cracked down on anything that made news.

>>64488304
We might have to accept the fact that "Chris Poole" (if that's even his real name) was compromised from the start.
I'm just glad Lowtax is dead.

>>64487415
>pre-2016 election 4chan.
All this happened with Sandy Hook

only newfags think this place wasn't always a shithole and your new is showing

>>64488313
It happened with the Breitbart / Bannon organized gamergate nonsense. Even back in 2014 I was correctly pointing out that the real issue with games journalism is AAA games colluding with the big outlets, not some salacious story about some indie developer whore fucking some nobody writers. American politics has followed that template ever since.

>>64488314
I liked /b/ in 2006, but then again I was 12/13.

>>64488311
Nah, m00t was just a teenaged weeb that cloned 2chan and when he got old enough to care about a career he had to offload it because normies don't actually like free speech.
As for Lowtax I never used SA and couldn't care less either way.

>>64488314
>was never good
This was a good meme in 2007 now it's just denying reality, captcha art was the last hurrah.

>>64488317
What template?
>>64488325
Maybe. I don't know.

>>64488317
>some salacious story about some indie developer whore fucking some nobody writers.
The problem was the massive media collusion that followed it, faggot. Gamers are over et al.

>>64488325
nigger alfred

>>64488329
>What template
The one where the actual economic collusion and corruption are ignored in favor of culture war shitflinging.

>>64488317
>real issue with games journalism is AAA games colluding with the big outlets
Why is this a surprise to so many people? This is the story with EVERY type of niche journalism, and always has been. A 1980's magazine about woodworking tools was the exact same thing: the reviewers were in bed with the companies making the tools.

>>64488330
see
>>64488332
There's a direct line from Gamergate to the ongoing Epstein coverup.

>>64488332
When politicans are for sale they really don't want you to pay attention to the money.

>>64488339
Amen brother. I'm glad there's at least one other non-retarded non-shill still here.

>>64488338
Its not about some whore who fucked some retarded forevervigins but the media collusion between 'independent' journalists that started reporting a common invented narrative. That's what opened a lot of eyes. Journalists ignoring reality and constructing their own narratives.

>>64488345
And all of that is secondary to the fact that AAA developers collude with major publications and pay for reviews. Gamergate served its purpose by distracting from that.

>>64488338
>There's a direct line from Gamergate to the ongoing Epstein coverup.
GG was Publishers bribing people for good reviews schizo-kun

>>64488350
Gamergate did the exact opposite, it showed gaming journalists are corrupt faggots. I have no idea how your reasoning is working here.

>>64488345
>>64488350
GG was great because it opened a lot of peoples eyes to the fact the media is a for profit business that pushes narratives rather than facts.
Then it was hijacked by retards (or literal shills) to turn the narrative into culture war BS.

>>64488354
Nope, the entire story was focused on indie developers and indie reviewers, successfully taking the heat off of the big dogs. You got played like a fiddle lol

>>64488345
>Journalists ignoring reality and constructing their own narratives.
Nothing new about that.

>>64488357
The hijacking happened basically as soon as the whole thing started. And what change did it bring to the industry? Absolutely none.

>>64488359
>major gaming sites went bankrupt over indie games
whatever dude

>>64488365
The failure of many companies across the journalistic landscape had nothing to do with gamergate lol

>>64488361
>And what change did it bring
It taught a lot of /v/irgins the media can't be trusted which is a good thing.
>to the industry
None, they know they can weather any storm by just shutting up and letting the consumers forget.

>>64488365
Most of the big ones were killed by civil lawsuits because the "journalists" were so use to ignoring ethics they forgot some are enforced by law.

>>64488367
>>64488372
Gaming journos and sites died from YouTube reviews and gameplay, why read an article or visit a site when your para-social channel will post it for free

>>64488372
>>64488367
>Most of the big ones were killed by civil lawsuits because the "journalists" were so use to ignoring ethics they forgot some are enforced by law.
Only Gawker (Hulk Hogan), the rest went bankrupt due to drop of viewrship and ad revenu making them unsustainable.

>>64488373
>why read an article or visit a site when your para-social channel will post it for free
Because I can read an article much, much, faster than listening to some E-celeb regurgitate opinions.

>>64488373
>>64488374
True, the sad thing is half the youtubers still shill because the game hasn't changed, if you want views you need an early review copy and if you give bad reviews you won't get any review copies in future.
I have pretty much given up on AAA at this point but thanks to Unity, Godot and steam the indie scene is better than ever.

>>64488374
And this happened to tons of companies that had nothing to do with gaming. Gamergate did nothing but funnel collective energy into nonsense by being half right and then subverting the truth with a narrative that serves the powerful, just like QAnon a few years later.

>>64488378
QAnon was always a shitposter than prayed on retards, I was on twice chan from day 1 and saw him recruit astroturfers before kicking off.
Imagine 10 unemployed anons deciding they are going to astroturf a 1000pph board and that's what happened. That said it was pretty funny seeing facebook boomers end up on an imageboard where a popular webm at the time was a tranny fisting their ass while telling their mom who is in the same room that Nostradamus was full of shit.

>>64488377
>because the game hasn't changed, if you want views you need an early review copy and if you give bad reviews you won't get any review copies in future.
Exactly.
And this isn't new. This applied to magazines in the 1950's just as much as it applies to social media today. You think that [Auto Company] is going to give [Car Magazine] their latest model to review, after the magazine called out the problems with their last model a few issues back? No way.

>>64487239 (OP)
What blew up this time?

>>64488378
>Gamergate did nothing but funnel collective energy into nonsense
I don't think I've ever read a more poignant summary of social media as a whole.
+1 internets to you, sir.

/k/ went to shit with generals in 2013

>>64487443
The thread 404'd, either due to nukeschizo or the jannies mass deleting shit from spam, before I could find out how we did on Sunday. Are we through?

>>64489367
>how we did on Sunday
It was a loss. You can always check implyingrigged.info for the wiki and implying.fun for the video on demand to watch.

>>64488206
This poster is a confirmed redditor. He desperately tries to conceal his pathological ziggerhood behind a facade of /k/ oldfag status, but the reality is that he's a redditfugees and a severely disgruntled russia worshipper.

Both are inherently homosexual and autistic, so that checks out.

All mods should have been hunted down and murdered after the hack.

regardless of their political beliefs, all redd*tors are damaging to every single internet community they migrate/flee to.

The problem is both advertisements being disguised as journalism AND women being allowed to work.
