/vr/ - Retro Games

>>2110798

>>2110816
I'd fabricate an elaborate false flag event for those.

>>2110816
lolwut

>>2110816
RIP, died of shit taste.

I've put up a few of these lately. I'll exclude the thing that people bitch about this time.

>>2110816

Did you just snatch those off the street?

>>2110857
pls post pic of nes games

>>2110857
holy shit where did you get that limited edition gold snes?

one day i'll put a shelf up, and organize the cables, and sort the tv out, not today though.

>>2110889
Craiglist man. Shit was so cash.

>>2110863

>>2110857
that TV looks like it's begging to fall over

>>2110931
It's wedged into the corner. That sombitch ain't moving.

>>2111069


NIGGA PUT THAT DISC BACK IN IT'S CASE

>>2111075
Calm the fuck down. It was a CD-R.

Mine pulls double duty for /vr/ and non /vr/. I'm working on making a new top for the desk so I can finally get rid of that board.

>>2111169
cozy as fuck

>>2111196
Yeah, it's alright. I need better shelving to complete that cozy feel though.

>>2110896
very nice collection mate

>>2111169
dope

>>2111169
Are you the Game Historician, that looks very similar to the stuff he show in one episode

>>2111278
A couple new additions today. That's Dragon Spirit next to Pinball Quest. Came with the manual too!
Castlevania III is also in my NES which is why it was missing form the picture.

>>2111278
No idea who that even is.

>>2111169
>portrait side monitors

Good taste.

>>2111360
I wasn't sure if I'd like it when I did it, hence the non-painted custom stands, but now I don't think I'll ever go back to all landscape.

They're actually both disconnected and sitting on the floor right now though. I'm going to (hopefully) be finishing my new desk top tomorrow, so I'll be using that time to also stain/paint the monitor stands.

>>2111169
that fucking compaq case in the bottom left, I swear, everyone and their grandma had one of those. Even I did at one point

>>2111401
I was the only person I knew that had one. Everyone else always had stuff like the Dell Optiplex.

only thing that prevents me from adding a dreamcast, saturn and nes is the lack of space in the entertain ment center

>>2112134
at some point i wanna get a famicom disc system and put it imbetween the 5200 and the saturn

So does anyone know why my post might have been deleted?

It can't be because of non-/vr/ stuff. I literally cannot take a picture of my /vr/ stuff that doesn't have something non-/vr/ in the frame.

I mean, even >>2110960 is still up. It's just a laptop and a PSone with LCD. The ratio there is 50/50 /vr/ and non-/vr/.

>>2112364
I should add that I'm the one that has the HDTV on top of a CRT and the PLP monitor setup.

>>2112368
Our dumbfuck janitor strikes again.

>>2112368
>>2112364
Someone probably hates you and spammed reported it. That or the janitor is being his usual self.

>>2112364
If that image bothers you you should report it. Don't use others as an excuse to break the rules yourself.

>>2112364

Janitor is being retarded I guess.

Best thing to do when that happens is post it again, and call the Janitor out in a spoiler tag.

Wait, woah, a fucking TON of pictures were deleted from this thread.

What the fuck?

>>2112364
I hate you that´s it!

>>2112409
It's not bothering him he's just trying to understand the unstated rules

Don't try too hard, they're subjective as fuck

>>2112417
That's just asking to be banned.

>>2112421
Usually the whole thread gets deleted when it gets that bad.

>>2112428
>That's just asking to be banned.

Been doing it for years. Fuck-all happens. If they ban you over it, email mootles.

>>2112421
Pictures taken after 1999 aren't allowed

>>2112430
How does it help you? You're just showing what a shitposter you are and that a deletion was probably justified.

>>2112435

>on-topic picture gets deleted in my thread
>Picture was following the topic of the thread and the rules of the board
>"Shitposting"


No.

>>2112436
This

>board slows down to 10-15 posts an hour
>janitor swoops through and deletes 20+ legitimate posts
>how to kill a board

Well the thing is, I've posted it before, maybe not that exact one, but a pic of the same area, with no issues. I've been here since the board was introduced, and I've been posting my setup since the "battlestation" threads started here. So what;s wrong with it now?

>>2112436
That's what they always claim.
Next time try censoring out any non-retro content instead of throwing a hissy fit.

>>2112446

I'm the OP. I didn't have the censor shit.

The posts that got deleted had CONSIDERABLY less non-retro in the picture.

Janitor is being retarded

>>2112445

Nothing. Mods/Janitors just go into full retard mode sometimes. I been here since the board was conceived too. I can tell that we got new mods. Old mods would just delete /v/ shitposters. They don't seem to do that anymore.

>>2112456
The thread was deleted the last time you posted it.
https://archive.moe/vr/thread/2106358/
Janitors aren't everywhere so occasionally something slips through their fingers.

Posting censored version, if that makes everyone happy. I just want to talk about our /vr/ stuff. This board is what made me reach out to family members and friends to get all this stuff back.

>>2112478
>bowing down to your oppressors
Pussy, better censor those walls too, that paint looks pretty fresh.

>>2112484
You're right. I painted it less than a year ago.

>>2110798

>>2113890
You're about to get that post deleted for the entertainment center. Sorry anon...

seriously the janitors and mods here are retarded.

some guy called us /vr/ers virgins in a thread, it was the 8:7 or 4:3 SNES thread.
i replied saying i'm an old fart like most of us, married and with a kid.

my post was deleted, not the shit post.

i hope someone sees this before the splurgmods deletes it

>>2113938
I say at least a good percentage of us are married with kids.

Awww bummer you got TB. Gotta stop messing around with them sketchy girls man.

Jokes aside, neat set up. Just repaint or retrobrite dat SNES. Still fist bumps for the Master System.

>>2113941
exactly, i'm glad you saw it before the untimely death of my factual post.

modfags are ruining the only decent board this site has left.

archive.moe/vr/thread/2110798/

Hey janitor/mod, stop shitting up my fucking thread.

>>2114036
dude they have been fucking idiots lately. Like what they did to /pol/ just a bunch of fuckin babies that always have to have their way.

They do it for free

>>2114049
i thought they did it for hot pockets?

jesus fucking christ deleting photos cause some non retro shit is in the frame, we need to get rid of these shitclowns

>>2114072
This board is literally the most autistic on 4chan. Seeing something in the background that isn't a /vr/ game makes the average posters confused, afraid, and then angry. Obsessively ordering things is an autistic trait.

>>2114075

Nobody actually cares except for the mods.

>>2114080
>Nobody actually cares except for the faggots ruining everything
FTFY

NO FUN ALLOWED

>>2114080
exactly like in the trading thread. I really don't give a fuck if someone is trading PS2 games, they are probably trading those for retro games so its still retro related. The retard fucking janitors can not wrap their walnut brains around that concept though.

>>2114080
I care. I'm glad the mods try to keep the board clean of /v/ shit.

>>2114084
check the archive, the pictures had like 6 /vr/ systems then you could see half of a ps3 in the corner. deleted.

no fun allowed for free

>>2114084

Your post is /v/ shit, and I bet it wont get deleted.

If anyone's wondering, >>2110816 was a police photo of Adam Lanza's game systems which I think is hilarious and I assumed was why it was deleted but it was actually deleted because it had non-/vr/ systems. I also find that hilarious.

I bet threads about emulating retro games on non-retro systems give that faggot janitor splitting headaches. I hope he has a stroke.

>>2114109
>I hope he has a stroke.

It's my only Christmas wish

>>2114109
>I bet threads about emulating retro games on non-retro systems give that faggot janitor splitting headaches.
As far as I know they regularly get removed.

>>2112478
forgot about this bread but after iv seen the bull shittiery i think ill re upload my original pic but have it be VR safe.
>watching for how long till it gets taken down
>>2112484

>>2116214
I was hoping more people would start posting eventually.

In any case, mine is still up, so maybe it's all fine now?

>>2116234
well if mine stays up i hope more people post aswell,
it was seeing someone elses awesome setup is what started me on retro gaming collecting path anyway...

>>2116239
I already owned most of my stuff at earlier points, but being a dumbass kid, I sold/gave it away to friends and family. The /vr/ board being introduced was the catalyst for me trying to get it all back. Within a week of lurking on /vr/ I tracked down my SNES and got it back. I'm still pissed that my Super Mario Kart, Super Mario RPG, Turtles in Time, and A Link to the Past didn't stay with it though.

>>2110798
you really should get Blazing Lazers and other space ship shooters for the tg16, easily the best reason to own one.

bonk games are good too.

>>2112478
Chuckled at your censor job. Looks very comfy. I actually have my crt on a chest just like that.

>>2116214
>dinner plate post 2000

Lol'd.

>>2116974
Yeah, that chest is the only thing I had that wasn't already in use that could hold the weight of the CRT. I suppose I could have bought a small entertainment center or something, but I guess this still works.

Looking at J.J. and Jeff next, since it's at a local thrift store, and maybe Galaga '90, but it has no case.

He could shield it with ammunition foil. If it can protect you from THEM I'm sure it can protect a CRT from a few magnets.

Stop being a fucking cunt and deleting ontopic shit.

Was my pic deleted because there's PS2 games in it? Jesus Christ, just ignore them.

Everyone just email moot. I already did, but it won't hurt for more people to email him.

>>2117975
You might have to censor it like I did with mine here >>2112478.

Though I do agree it's bullshit that these are getting deleted, especially for people like us that literally cannot get a pic of all of our /vr/ stuff without having something non-/vr/ in the pic. I've posted in plenty of /vr/ battlestation threads, and this is the first one that I've had issues posting my stuff in.

>>2118007
Good idea. I was actually just about to do that after posting >>2118008 anyway.

>>2118032
Now, I'm cool with this one being deleted. The only system in frame is a GameCube, and it's meant to be a shitpost anyway.

>>2118009
Funny how a post about me emailing moot was deleted.

archive.moe/vr/thread/2110798 for deleted pics

>>2117616
I cut the base off mine immediately and hung it on the wall. I've had to reattach the lenticular part a couple times and that standout cardboard ring has some creases. It hung opposite a FFXI layered cellulose one in my bachelor pad for years. No idea what to do with them now. Somewhere in the mancave I guess.

>>2118047

Mod is going into full damage control

>>2118194
I think at one point I had that FFXI one you are talking about too. The actual picture on the Bouncer/IX got a little warped while in storage and I had to do some glue surgery on the back stand but it's held up well. I had a Devil May Cry standee I had always wanted to use in a future game cave but it had to get chunked a few years ago.

Hurray for good grades on a hard schedule.

Actually the game in the Intellivoice box is Bomb Squad, but there is a B-17 Bomber cartridge hiding in the Intelli cart stack.

I have a weird obsession with Bomb Squad...

Lucky for you, it's usually messier. Really could be worse considering the close quarters though, ya feel. But yeah, one day I'll be a real adult my /vr/ather.

>>2110798

If that's really your setup, any plans to retrobrite it back to factory spec?

>>2111294

I'm jealous of your Metal Storm. I fucking love that game, but my copy has a completely borked label.

Nice collection overall for your NES, too. You've got good taste.

>Willow
>RCR
>Crystalis
>Duck Tales
>Kirby's Adventure
>Gradius

I'm missing these from my collection, seeing them in yours makes me want to get back to work on my NES stuff.

>>2117095

Shielded speakers exist, dude. It's pretty gnarly, I know.

Collections are usually used to battle stations... so...

Love the art work. Though in my opinion the dressers hide your collection.

>>2120906
You're fucking kidding me, right?

>>2120909

Read the thread. I really wish I was.

Here's mine reposted with the non-/vr/ consoles blurred out.

I think a lot of anger and confusion could be avoided if the person deleting these posts would be more communicative about why he was deleting them.

this whole business of censoring non vr stuff from images is excessive, no? As long as we're not discussing them and there's still retro content in the photo I dont see why we can't just overlook it.

(It's actually more work to complain and cesnro than it is to overlook)

>>2120945

Probably just a new staff member. This always happens with the newbies. After a while they figure out how the rules work, how the communities for each board operate, and then they usually settle the fuck down.

>>2117975

Aww shit, I got that same TV, bro. Can't take a pic because I can't find my phone.

>>2110825
>>2110843
>>2110854
What happened?

So wait... Did some jack off report the images or are the mods just autistic as fuck?

>>2120945
That plant looks like it was made after 1999. Better censor that too

>>2120961
We don't have much choice. We have to censor, otherwise the posts get deleted.

>>2120985
Made sure to keep the plant out of this one.

>>2120909

Unfortunately, he's not. Somehow /v/-tier furry waifu is now acceptable here, but if you have a PS3 console next to a huge collection of retro, some overzealous idiot with no common sense will delete your post.

On another note, good job on the shelves, if you ever paint them a glossy gray a bit darker than the NES/SNES cartridges...I just got chills.

Fucking janitors. The fuck??

Bravo, janitors.

Seriously, piss off. this is just getting petty.

>>2121009
that 3DS cartridge seems pretty recent.

This is really fucked up.

Pretty sure this guy didn't become a janitor til after 2000..... He doesn't belong here.

>>2121217

Dear Janitor: Get a fucking life. This started because you deleted images of retro battlestations because you saw a Wii game on a shelf in the background. We all know most of your deletions are going to be undone by a mod anyway... as usual.

>>2121217

>>2120961
NO, ON /VR/ WE MUST PRETEND THAT WE'RE STUCK IN A TIME STASIS AT 1999

This never ever happens though. As far as I know, it can't.

>>2122098

It does happen. I've had the Janitor delete several of my posts in the past, and the deletions were undone.

Janitors have very little power. Everything they do is overseen by moderation staff which can undo everything they do. It keeps the Janitors from trying to use their position to impose their own faggotry on the boards.

here's mine, hope it meets the standards

>>2122109
>and the deletions were undone.

I have never ever seen this ever done under any circumstances. I do not believe it can be done. The rest of your post it true but I think you are mistaken about this. It might have been an issue with posts not showing up temporarily or something.

>>2122123
Perfect.

Post your games too.

>>2122123
>gamecube
>modern speakers

I'm so sorry, but the janitor's gonna delete this. Just watch.

At least 2 people have emailed moot, but apparently nothing's going to be done about it.

Re-did the cabling and reorganized mine a bit. Even managed to get the Genesis piped into the PVMover RF ;-;.

>>2120945
Poor Mega Drive getting dragged under with them.

>>2122123
I like it. Not having to work around what systems can be stacked on what must be really nice.

>>2122125

No. The deletions were undone. Just because /you/ have never seen it happen, does /not/ mean it does not happen.

Lurk the the fuck moar. Janitors do not operate with impunity.
