Well, if you gotta bump, bump with artwork at least.

90s Japan art is pretty metal sometimes. I think otaku went through a westaboo phase back then.

I've been meaning to ask.

What do you prefer to call these games? Western names? Original names? Which is easier recognizable for you? I, for one, can't for the world of me remember which one is Goblins and which is Ghosts and which is Ghouls and in which combinations.

So what do we call them?

>A: Makaimura, Daimakaimura, Chomakaimura, Gokumakaimura
>Abbreviated as MM, DaiMM, ChoMM and GokuMM,
>or
>MM, DMM, CMM, GMM,
>or
>just MM, Dai, Cho and Goku in context?

>B: GnG1, GnG2, GnG3/SGnG, GnG4.

A or B? Or do you think people who want to discuss the series should go memorize the Western names?

This.

I love Makaimura. I love them all.

Why are front-page threads disappearing?

A few of mine disappeared yesterday, but I thought our teenage janitor was trying to hard to reduce flamewars, and those had unpopular opinions.

But the "are games getting worse" thread was just deleted. It was full of legitimate discussion, no flaming, no shitposting at all. Is 4chan broken? Or has the mod finally lost it? Or did the OP delete it for some reason after 50 posts and it's just a coincidence?
