What game, /v/?

For me, it's Kingdom Hearts. Discovered it in my early 20s through the PS4 collections and it's the exact type of serious I would've loved as a kid if I had just gotten over my distaste of Disney.

stopped reading at kingdom hearts, fucking faggot get better taste. also

I probably would be happier now if I played Minecraft online from 2010-2014 instead of losing my virginity and having a girlfriend, I've only ever played Minecraft singleplayer

why larp? nobody in the west knew wtf touhou was until 2011

I never buy new games so I'm always years behind when I finally do play one. By that point all discovery has already been done and people have moved on and the online is almost dead. I have a few game examples but I have to shit REALLY bad so I don't have time to type it all out.

You're obviously a zoomer.
You were meant to play KH when you were 10-15 and born in the 90s
Us 90s kids actually liked Disney and watched everything Disney 2D up to princess and the frog

>>723539784
Just replace "lowkey" with "unironically" every time you see it

>>723539958
disney has always been for girls and faggots

>>723539679
I learned about it in 2007 or 2008. One of the first YouTube videos I remember watching, probably a link I clicked here, was footage of Perfect Cherry Blossom.
I didn’t actually try any of the games or even look into any of the fan works until a couple years ago. Fun games.

>>723539917
You realize everything in society was invented/innovated by someone “born with a penis”

Not /v/, but for me, it was True Detective S1 and S2. The threads on /tv/ appeared to be magical.

twitterfags have been a disaster for the internet

>all these retards saying why join a fandom
It's not so much about the fandom itself but missing the games (or other media I suppose) at their peaks when everyone was engaged with it. You will never replicate Gaylo 3 LAN parties ever again with respect to the hype behind the games and the community. You can bring in your 40 yo friends who were in college playing with you but it's just not the same experience.

Why add this retarded ebonic dogspeak when there's zero reason?

>>723543031
>Join the discord

>>723543048
I mean, and? It's even worse for multiplayer games. Maybe not so bad with single player games but there's still that social aspect to it that is hard to dismiss no matter how hard you try to deny it.

>>723543094

I think many of these retards think theyre lone wolves when in fact they are severely socially stunted and do want to participate in communities that only they tolerate only to find out that this board is a genuine shithole for any game community outside of non pozzed PC games, leaving them extremely bitter.

>>723538727
For me it’s the True Capitalist Radio saga. I was only 9 in 2011 and didn’t discover Ghost until 2014. Stopped listening to him after he got kicked off of BTR.
Also, yes I know his freak outs were all fake and I don’t care because holy shit they were funny

Got banned from Evageeks because I disagreed that the series was "a deeply trans work of queer rebellion".

WoW. I cry myself to sleep that I missed the golden years. FFXIV is also the same FOMO feeling.

>>723538183 (OP)
the theorizing about what the next games would be about was one of the funnest parts of kh. theorizing how kh3 would play out was fun af because there were so many key characters and plot points. now i don't care that much because kh3 was lacking in the story aspect. i still had fun with it and mods made it actually really fun but the story was... just kinda there to explain why you were fighting monsters and going from point a to b. i feel like it was rushed since they had to switch engines. or they just didn't care as much. idk. i only really care about 1 character's storyline now and seeing how it finishes.

>>723538183 (OP)
I played Wow during vanilla and tbc. I was a kid and nostalgia may be at play, but I miss the community back then. I don't even know what to call it now.

>>723538727
I feel like I missed the hayday, but had a pretty good run regardless.
I started around 2013 right after season 3 finished.
It was great just watching as many things about the show as I could find. Animations, reviews, songs. There was even a whole storyline of videos of various reviewers as TF2 classes in the style of Red vs Blue, and it was great.
Voice of Reason started up an idea he called the Rift. During Season 4, a bunch of them agreed to start doing as many dual collabs as possible. It helped with networking, banter, and was all around a great time.

It's like there was a whole other show that you could grow to find out about underneath the actual show.

The (z)doom community. I started around 2016, and it already felt dead by that point, with Skulltag gone, all the craziest and coolest mods already released. I gave up an quit a few years later but I checked back on it nowadays due to some recent drama and it's in an even worse shape now, somehow. Grim times.

>>723544338

The Source/Valve games community. All old games are dead like CS:S & Garry's Mod, single player games communities are infested with trannies and furfags and CS2 is turd world central.

>>723538727
you didn't miss out on shit. If anything, waiting for all the faggots to leave will allow you to sift through the actual content with none of the autistic retards discussing how a highly specific background character is somehow their favorite despite being a literal palette swap. A good skill to have in life is being able to conquer FOMO and intuit that there's actually nothing on the other side of the fence worth the effort climbing it.

Squares Golden Age but really 3D JRPGs Genre in general
Being born in 2000 meant that by the time I was able to engage with the genre my only options were shitty 7th gen ones or handheld games. So while I played FF13 it was boring and bad so I dropped it and the mainline series for a while, meanwhile while I played games like SMT Strange Journey I never got into SMT in a larger context.
There just seemed to be a lot of passion around back then due to the lack of shame I would of loved to take part in.

Ironically KH was one of the few series of that kind I did get into. Being 7 in 07 and getting Days while being a Disney fan was a trip that had me engage with the online community to get filled in with the rest of the series. So I actually got to experience things like Demyx Time, KH AMVs and MMVs, and prime Hellfirecoms as my proxy console experience simulator of choice even if I was in that annoying younger brother role when not lurking.

Metal Gear Solid sort of, I got into it after Ground Zeroes but still before V came out, so I still got in before the last breath of the franchise had before it died. I also kind of felt like this with Monster Hunter when I got into it with 4U, but in that case the series kept going on.

>>723538183 (OP)
Dark Souls I guess.

>>723544818
problem solving autism games (zachtronics, factorio, satisfactory etc etc) have the odd annoying tranny and furry, but they're generally pretty solid because everyone is too autistic and concerned about shit like ratios, designs and efficiency to care about anything else
i'm not going to imply that they have like 500 IQ requirements for playing them, but it gatekeeps the majority of personal and social drama somehow

>>723545910
Zachtronics actually got me into programming and a job so I'm forever thankful for them.

There was a recent discussion in open source spaces that Open Source is not a community, but an ecosystem with big and small players, symbiotic relationships and projects that hate each other. I can see how "fandom" could have the same discussion to remove the idea that everyone acts as a unified block.

>>723549939
you have to be LGBTQ+ and BIPOC positive if you want to be a part of any fandom though

I wish I had been around when umineko was first coming out. Would have been cool to see people's initial reaction to some of the twists and read people's crazy theories.
idk if I would have had the patience to wait for each episode to come out and then get translated though. It was nice being able to read it all in one go.

>>723549939
open source shouldnt even be up for decade its something that should be decentralized by definition.
but now that you spelled it out its obvious that this current cancer is only possible because the internet is so centralized onto a few websites.
your only escape is basically private discords that arent open invite.
