/vr/ - Retro Games

Lower age userbase.

Because there is a window where everything made between 20 to 25 years ago suddenly becomes nostalgic.

>>4198165
>N64
>5th gen
hmm

Mednafen just added Saturn support and improved their PSX core.

>>4198165
I'm a babby who grew up with psx, and psx is the console I've returned to. obviously I mostly post in discussions about psx games.

I made a SNES thread a few weeks ago. I asked for people's experiences when they first got the system and what not.
I got very few replies and all of them were like "I didn't got into SNES until the 2000s, my first console was a [insert 5th console]".

>>4198165
Soon this board will have to update itself by including the 6th generation, since it will be the first that "retro gamers" knew

Because there us literally nothing left to discuss regarding 3rd and 4th gens.

This place is getting more and more stagnant by the day.

>>4198165
summer happened

>>4198447
Yes, only a handful games are really memorable to keep discussion going, and even then, this was done to death a long time ago. The other old games were simply forgotten, how you're supposed to discuss about a game that only you remember?

>>4198376
>6th gen
way to ancient, grandpa

5th gen has been a hot topic since the start, youngings.

>>4198525
AI, HOMBRE, ANDALE

>>4198376
why would we want those people posting here? that would be dumb

>>4198546
Because otherwise, this board is going to disappear due to lack of interest

>>4198589
/vr/ is still faster than /trv/ and the like

It's a niche board, doesn't need to be fast or super active.

>>4198546
I post here. I bought my first console (PS1) 3 months before the Dreamcast release.

>>4198165
them niggas got old

>>4199650
So the PS1 was your first console, 5th gen. PS2 in particular will never be appropriate here, it is what it is.

We're getting old. I still love my hobby but I have a career and a kid. I'm still making time for shitposting but I can see how it's dying out... this is the only board I post on since the rest of site honestly feels retarded.

>>4199881
It's crazy how some forums deem games "retro" based only on a rolling 10 years. So now fucking Wii games are supposed to be retro...

But there's a certain mystique to these pre-2000 games, same reason we continue to dig into and get new interviews with old designers of Famicom games. Despite that console being 35 next year.

>>4198525
There are people who are now 18 who have memories of being 12 and playing PS4 and Xbox One.

>>4198447
>>4198479
We need /v2k/, not ruin /vr/.

>>4198595
I'm normally on /pol/, but my interests have switched to here recently. This board is significantly slower than /pol/ is.
I like it, its pretty mellow.

>>4199775
I got the smaller PSOne as my first console back in 2001 in 3rd grade after begging my mom, but by that point the PS2 was already out and I got the Gamecube in 2003.

I never really got my hands on vintage consoles back when I was really little, I did have a Gameboy Pocket with Pokemon Yellow, but that was pretty much it before PlayStation.

>>4202102
I guarantee you, every single thing in your life will be better if you stay out of /pol/.

>>4202119
I want to break away I want to stop being so concerned about terrible, terrible things that's very much out of my control besides my one vote or revolution.
The only thing I've gained from it is that I want to be a better person then I already am, and work hard at it.
I'm not going to get anything more back from it at this point that's positive. So I might as well break away.
But I'm a changed man, that's for sure. The things I've learned are dark, unsettling, and the worst part, true.
It's made me question a lot of what I thought I knew about life, history, and what humans are capable out.
It's not for the feint of heart.

>>4198165
I like how people here assume that other people are totally and completely ignorant to everything that has happened before their birth. granted, statistically speaking that probably isn't very far from the truth, but social misfits and /vr/gins are born in every generation

They are. This board serves as a constant reminder of it, post after post after post.

>>4202486
I know there's no way to stop more underage from coming to 4chan but I really wish newfags would learn to lurk and not abuse all the lack of quality checks to blogpost about literally nothing.

/vr/ would be way more fun if it stopped being obsessed with the definition of retro and getting "the real experience."
/v/ just wants to talk about the newest shit, so why not let /vr/ discuss anything older than 10 years ago? I don't feel the spirit of gaming in masturbating to CRTs and cartridge collections.

>>4204827
But you feel the spirit of gaming in masturbating to wii and 360? You can do that on your containment board.

>>4204827
10 years is by no definition retro.

When /vr/ was made it was all about the NES.

Then the SNES.

Now this.

Soon there'll be so many PS2 threads the rules will change.

/vr/ just follows the retro "trends". Half of the posters here only care about Nintendo, Sony, and maybe Sega a little bit. They don't know shit about retro computer games, let alone Commodore or Amiga.

>>4204905
Actual games discussion? Yeah, the spirit of gaming is there. /vr/ is too focused on the technical side of "retro" games.

The board WILL eventually have to include more recent generations or it will die out due to lack of interest.

No one whatsoever cares about games released before their time. Don't give me your "I'm a true retro gaymer" bullshit. You may care about the SNES or the PS1 and think they're the best, but this doesn't mean the newer generations will care about them.

Do YOU give a shit about Atari 2600, Commodore, ZX Spectrum, MSX? No? What if I told you that each of these systems have a huge game library, on the thousands, and many of them are really good? Still not interested? You prefer the games from the 90s, from your time? The newer generation feels the same way about 2000s games.

Extend the retro limit to around 2005 or this board will be scrapped within the next 3 years.

>>4204995

European home computers had shitty games, all of them. The reason nobody cares is because without nostalgia, none of them are worth playing.

>>4204995
>Do YOU give a shit about Atari 2600, Commodore, ZX Spectrum, MSX?

Yeah, as a matter of fact, I fucking do.

>>4204995

no discussion it is then

>>4198296
Can it run STCC? I played it on Model 2 emulator, but switched to Ubuntu and it us a bitch to run under WINE.

>>4205092
This is reactionary nonsense. The worst of /v/ wouldn't suddenly swarm /vr/ to talk about fucking PS2 games. They're too busy shitposting about twitter posts and the flavor of the month.

>>4205109
>The worst of /v/ wouldn't suddenly swarm /vr/
don't play dumb, they're already here, shitposting in 5th gen console war threads

>>4204995
No, we just need /v2k/.

It'd be rude to let kids from the early 2000s be part of an exclusive non-/v/ board, but not kids from the early 2010s.

/v2k/ would solve this issue.

>>4205134
More boards is never the right solution.

>>4204995
>No one whatsoever cares about games released before their time.
I was born in 91, and care about NES, Master System and Genesis games.

>>4205141
On a subject as big as video games, yes it is.
/v/ is one of the biggest boards on 4chan, it only makes sense it needs at least a couple sub-divisions.
Contrary to popular belief, /vr/ is not really a slow board, it's just not a super fast board like a juggernaut like /v/, but it has an average pace for a 4chan board.
Allow 6th gen here and:
1. Discussion about older gens and older stuff will be more difficult (especially with idiots like this one that don't really care about stuff from before he was born: >>4204995)
2. Kids who grew up with 7th or 8th gen will also start demanding their childhood to be included on /vr/.

>>4205141
Sometimes it is. Extending the limit even to mid2000s will make Call of duty retro, for god's sake.

>>4198595
The difference is that /trv/ is the ONLY board that deals with travel stuff, while there are FOUR dedicated vidya boards, and /vr/ is the only one suffering from slow traffic. /trv/ justifies it's existence by it's unique purpose, this board, not so much.

There's absolutely no reason that all the discussion we have here couldn't be done on /v/ instead. It's just that it would be buried in a shit ton of shitposting and "look at what this retard posted on Twitter".

>>4205187
Who cares if the board is slow? Compared to dedicated retro forums of which you post something and have to check a couple of days later for a response, this place is lightning fast. Quality over quantity.

>>4205187
Wait, /vg/ isn't really all that fast either, threads there can last for weeks in fact, doom generals here are faster than many threads on /vg/.
/m/ is a slow board where tons of threads last weeks as well, and all /m/ discussion could be fit into /a/.
Hell, look at all the sub-divisions /a/ has.
/v/ only has /vg/ and /vr/ (and /vp/ I guess, but Pokemon also has /a/ and even /tg/ stuff).

>There's absolutely no reason that all the discussion we have here couldn't be done on /v/ instead
There's really no reason why not all of the discussion of all of 4chan couldn't be done on /b/, with that mentality.

>>4205187
>The difference is that /trv/ is the ONLY board that deals with travel stuff
What about /out/?

>>4205178
>especially with idiots like this one that don't really care about stuff from before he was born
And the one and true "retro gaymer" comes out of the woods to bitch.

Don't even attempt to flaunt your elitist ass by pretending you care about pre-1990s games (aside from some normie Nintenshit). The utter lack of discussion about 1980s games speaks for itself. Now go masturbate to your "true experience" CRT.

>>4205208
>I don't care about games before I was born, so nobody else can!

Just get out of this board and never come back, /v/ermin.

>>4205196
Yes, the Doom generals are doing great. How about we move them to /vg/, where they can hang with the cool guys and where they belong

>>4205187
>The difference is that /trv/ is the ONLY board that deals with travel stuff
>what is /int/
Yeah I know, /b/ with a twist, but you can say the same thing about /v/.

>>4205208
please keep posting, your posts are the best arguments for keeping /vr/ the way it is

I don't understand why some of you are against the idea of another board
>But noooooo mommy!! I want MY CHILDHOOD to be /vr/! it's nooot faaaaiiirrrr!

Just imagine the following:
Let's suppose Hiro finally decides to do something (lol yeah right) and he allows 6th gen on /vr/.
Besides all the shitposting that would cause (both ironic and unironic), there will be another, bigger issue beneath it all: the kids who grew up with 7th and 8th gen, also demanding their childhood to be represented on /vr/.
So, all of you 6th gen whinners, be aware there's younger people who will also be read to whine about their childhood, claiming it's not fair that 6th gen is retro but 7th isn't, or even 8th gen (kids who were 12 when PS4 came out are now 18, let that sink).

/v2k/ would solve all of these problems.

But anyway I don't think anything's gonna change soon, we'll just keep seeing people whine about 6th gen and mods having to delete their shitposts.

>>4205210
I touched a nerve, didn't I, faggot.

>He pretends to give a shit about games no one even remembers
I would say that this is pathetic, but that's not enough to describe you, it's just sad.

Elitists not even once

>>4205223
Imagine being this angry about your childhood not being part of /vr/ that you need to project this hard over people you don't know

>>4205194
It's indeed good if you only discuss about popular games (Mario, Zelda or Doom), but try talking about something more obscure and see for yourself what doesn't happen

The "Big 3" you posted were things I got into but could not commit to as a young man. I was at the age where women, bars and wrecking cars was top priority. I did have money, and did foolishly spend it on cheap women, beer and some pretty slick vidya systems. They have been unboxed every few years for a clean-up/test. This time I have a decent CRT & a working game shark.

The PSX did not emulate on the PC at all for me once in all the years of trying. I wasted enough time. One of my scph-1001 will run 100%. If that does not do it, I got a 7501.

I don't know any reason for me to get a saturn. MVC2 was the only title I remember....But I only speak for myself, and not the others.

N64s are cheap. The SD Cart is cheaper than any set of games that people want.....NBA Hangtime is the only one I really need.

All of this is possible because these things are being thrown out....We are the "after-after-market". We are the niche that will pay absurdly for the specific models for x feature/flaw.

Also, thanks for the great board. I enjoy the speed of things around here. that other place moves way too fast at times. I feel safer posting some pictures here than there also.

This 4mb picture size limit means I have to resize my camera picts as others do I am sure.

>>4205241
Forums are even worse. I had my first serious discussion about the Kunio series here.

>>4205246
Your kind is not welcome here

>>4205241
Post proof of what you're saying.
Also, are you aware that if we include 6th gen here, discussing these more obscure games will be even harder? Imagine all the Melee, Kingdom Hearts and Halo generals, man.
If anything, if you plead for less popular series and more obscure games discussions, you shouldn't be asking for 6th gen, you should be asking for less coverage on /vr/, for example taking out 5th gen (as it originally was, /vr/ was only up to 4th gen)

>>4205252
>Your kind is not welcome here
Excellent. I feel as welcome here as I did in my years there. I found this place by google searching for a retro-video game forum....This was the first pick for me. I am glad I could find it again.

Glad you are here also!

I am here to to focus, like a laser my love of the psx, and CRT tvs and monitors. I figured that the company does not get any better than a 4chan forum focused on the things I love.

Take care!

>>4202150
You guys are fucking lunatics. You're not some knowledgeable vanguard of the revolution. You're a lone wolf terrorist waiting to happen.

>>4205269
It says a whole lot that the /v2k/ shitposters are all /pol/ refugees.

>>4205274
What?
I'm one of the guys who wants /v2k/ to happen, and I never visited /pol/.

It's like saying all 6th gen kids are SJWs.

>>4205253
How could 6th gen stuff possibly replace something that already doesn't exist anymore?

When this board first started, it had a lot of 3rd gen discussion, but as time moved on, it passed to 4th gen, and now it's mostly 5th gen. We already hit the current upper limit, and if it can't move forward, it will simply wither away and die. You can't force people to talk about games they have little familiarity with.

>>4205274
>shitposters
/v2k/ advocates are the most reasonable of the bunch. They understand allowing 6th gen here will ultimatelly kill all the niche discussions but also that people need a place to talk about those games. There's no reason not to support /v2k/ other than being about a whinny bitch.

>>4205279
>How could 6th gen stuff possibly replace something that already doesn't exist anymore?
????

>When this board first started, it had a lot of 3rd gen discussion, but as time moved on, it passed to 4th gen, and now it's mostly 5th gen.
There were a lot of times the focus was 5th gen. It just changes depending on the shitposter, but 4th and 5th console war is a constant.
I think it mostly has to do with the fact 4th and 5th gens are the ones that offer the most variety (when it comes to popularity). I mean that a lot of people grew up with different systems: SNES, Genesis, PS1, N64, Saturn.
On 3rd gen, most people grew up with NES; although you still occassionally have the NES vs Master System shitposting by PAL users, but it's not common.
I still see 2nd gen threads from time to time, but console war with these systems is also nonexistant, Atari 2600 dominated 2nd gen, and systems like Coleco and Intellivision came out kinda late.

We still have 80s arcade threads or pinball threads every now and then, I could show you some in the archives if you don't believe me.
Make 6th gen happen here, and these kind of threads will be lost forever.

What I don't understand is the following:
Why would you rather 6th gen be included here (and completely blow up everything, just imagine the shitposting, from both sides), instead of having a brand new board that includes all 2000s gaming?
I mean, again, if 6th gen is allowed here, then we'll start getting bombarded with kids whining about 7th gen, the problem will still persist, except you will be on the other side of the spectrum.

>>4205279
>if it can't move forward
I totally missed out on on the ps2/Xbox/GC era in its prime. I was too raising making babies. They are soon becoming "retro" however.

I am new here, and do not advocate any change. I don't own any system newer than a GC right now, and that is only because I unboxed it from 15 year storage yesterday. Works great. Too bad the "HD" Cables cost WHAT THE FLYING FUCK...Yeah nope. Ill just get my snes. I don't need a headache when the real deal takes 2 seconds with no soldering.

So the cost, and nostalgia are crucial to me. It is amazing that I owned 4 psx over the years, 3 of which I still have (one new). I only had 3 games:

>FF VII
>Chrono Cross
>FF Tactics

With a game shark and my system(s) I can play backups of my games, and not ruin my discs further.

>N64
>Saturn
>PSX
It is very cheap and easy to repair/replace issues with these systems. Yard sale & thrift store finds can quickly be the most exciting part of your Wednesday afternoon shopping spree.

>>4205284
>Why would you rather 6th gen be included here (and completely blow up everything, just imagine the shitposting, from both sides), instead of having a brand new board that includes all 2000s gaming?
The hypothetical /v2k/ board would have to include 7th gen to justify it's existence. If it's just 6th gen, it's traffic would be just as slow as /vr/. It would be pointless to have two slow ass boards if the subject is pretty much the same. Better just combine the two boards into one instead.

>>4205298
>15 year storage yesterday
thought about that, and I am second guessing this number. If I had to guess correct, I think about 5-7 years. I felt it was relevant.

>>4205301
>The hypothetical /v2k/ board would have to include 7th gen to justify it's existence
Yes that's the whole idea behind /v2k/, the name says it all, it's all games post-2000, except for current-gen which would go to /v/.
So, when 9th gen rolls around, 8th gen will automatically go to /v2k/ and we won't have to worry about refugees.
>It would be pointless to have two slow ass boards if the subject is pretty much the same.
Again, /vr/ is not a slow board, it has an average pacing for a 4chan board.
Not all boards are juggernauts like /b/, /v/, /pol/, etc.
>Better just combine the two boards into one instead
It would clash too much. There's already an air of apathy from both sides, the ones who want 6th gen here, and the ones who don't. If 6th gen is ever allowed, both sides will shitpost a lot (on top of trolls who will just falseflag for fun), AND, again, you need to have into account all the people who will start begging for 7th gen to be included (and soon enough, 8th).
This is why /v2k/ is the most sensible option. It's the most democratic one (even though 4chan isn't a public space, it's private so ultimately it's all up to Hiro)

>>4205301
>If it's just 6th gen, it's traffic would be just as slow as /vr/.
and this is bad because?
not every board needs to be a breakneck flurry of shitposts like /v/

>>4205284
>Make 6th gen happen here, and these kind of threads will be lost forever.
Why? Where are you getting this reasoning that the inclusion of a new gen will make everyone suddenly stop talking about older gens and move to the new one?

80s pinball threads will be inhabited by pinball enthusiasts regardless of what's allowed in the board. 6th gen kids will not suddenly develop a interest on 80s pinball just because they're not allowed to talk about their games.

>>4205313
>Why? Where are you getting this reasoning that the inclusion of a new gen will make everyone suddenly stop talking about older gens and move to the new one?
Okay, maybe I was exaggerating by saying "Lost forever", but they will be a lot harder to come by than they are now, that's for sure.

Anyway, point is, there's no reason not to want /v2k/, unless your main goals is just to piss off /vr/ regulars.

>>4205278
Oh you're part of the problem.
>It's like saying all 6th gen kids are SJWs.
They are.

>>4205318
Why would /v2k/ be a problem at all?

Really, what's the argument against /v2k/?
>we don't need another board!
Yes we do, 4chan is one of the most visited sites on the internet in the west. Compared to boards like 2ch or 2chan (which are only used by japanese, and have thousands of boards), 4chan's board number is really, really small. It could use some more boards. Especially when it comes to problems like this one, where people need a new board but none of the existing boards want them.

>>4205307
>Not all boards are juggernauts like /b/, /v/, /pol/, etc.
/vr/ is actually very slow by this site's standards. Even the horsefucking degenerates board is several times faster than this place, and that shit has been going on by what, a decade, by now?

>>4205313
>Where are you getting this reasoning that the inclusion of a new gen will make everyone suddenly stop talking about older gens and move to the new one?

wow you're right, that means you can talk about your 6th and 7th gen games on /v/
problem solved

>>4205330
>/vr/ is actually very slow by this site's standards.
No, it's not.
>Even the horsefucking degenerates board is several times faster than this place
I dunno, I never visited that kind of board so I wouldn't know, but boards like: /cgl/, /toy/, /tg/, /an/, /ck/ and many many other classic 4chan boards that have existed before /vr/ are very slow paced, and they're fine that way. That's actually the average pace of 4chan, not /v/ or /pol/, those are exceptions.
I'd say /vr/ is average when it comes to traffic. In fact I'd say it's a little bit faster than many other classic boards.

>>4205325
>Compared to boards like 2ch or 2chan (which are only used by japanese, and have thousands of boards)
The japs have their management style, and we have ours. We don't have to follow them on everything. Who said that a fuck load of boards is good idea?

>>4205332
>wow you're right, that means you can talk about your 6th and 7th gen games on /v/
No, 6th gen is too retro for /v/

>>4205349
>No, 6th gen is too retro for /v/
it's not retro enough for /vr/

>>4205349
>The japs have their management style, and we have ours.
but the chan format is originally japanese. If we would do our own thing, we'd be on bbs or php boards or just Facebook.
Also, Hiro is japanese, 4chan is not officially japanese, not american anymore.

But besides that, I'm not saying a "fuck load of boards"; I'm just saying make some new ones when needed, like /v2k/ now.
>6th gen is too retro for /v/
You can still discuss is there though, the only problem of /v/ is the fast traffic.
But then you have /vg/ too.
Still, I understand the need to have a "comfy" board like /vr/ to discuss your childhood memories, that's why I don't understand why don't you people want /v2k/.
Why don't you want your own place? Why the need to occupy and disrupt another board that's already fine as it is?

>>4205338
>/cgl/, /toy/, /tg/, /an/, /ck/ and many many other classic 4chan boards that have existed before /vr/ are very slow paced

>>4205357
What am I supposed to see on that post? That he's wrong about /trv/ being the only board dealing with traveling? (there's also /out/, and people also talk about traveling in other boards like /int/).
Also, I don't really consider /vp/ to be vidya-related exclusively, it also deals with /a/ and /tg/ stuff.

/a/ alone has more sub-divisions than /v/ would ever have. And /a/ is not a particularly fast board, at least it's not as fast as /v/.

>>4205241
If you don't mind conversations that last for days... I don't (I only have time to read and post here for 15 minutes a day, and that includes going deep into the catalog).

I'm certain this whiner was born in 1995-2000 and feels like he deserves his nostalgia to PS2, XBAWCKS, GameCub to be considered retro and wants in on our conversation... yet these games have a distinct "modern feel" (when have you seen an Indie game claim Halo style graphics as retro?). Honestly this board is so slow he could talk about Madden NFL 08 or whatever on /v/ instead and not even need /v2k/.

He's like an SJW, he's not happy enough having his thing, he needs to force it upon every one else as well. And he's probably a kike.

>>4205365
>these games have a distinct "modern feel" (when have you seen an Indie game claim Halo style graphics as retro?)
This is actually sound logic
>>4205313
>6th gen kids will not suddenly develop a interest on 80s pinball just because they're not allowed to talk about their games.
But to consider games and systems "retro" is the discussion?

I made an Xbox thread in /v/ once. It quickly was gone.

>>4205313
>80s pinball threads will be inhabited by pinball enthusiasts regardless of what's allowed in the board

Perhaps there should be an obscure chan for the ps2/xbox/gc for "unsupported contemporary hardware and systems".

>>4205356
>4chan is not officially japanese, not american anymore
what did he mean by this?

>>4205376

unsupported contemporary hardware and systems is way better, would support /uchs/, but I don't support /v2k/.

I am not familiar with the site, but you may be correct. I know I was in the contemporary video game area, and it reminded me of /pol/, so I left. Again, I am totally unfamiliar with the site outside of /pol/.

I don't care what that says about me, I am in this board to discuss predeno vidya on the rca colortrack.

It's you that is like a leftist.

>>4205450
Lol, it's not banned. You have a board for it bro. Some people even suggest you get TWO BOARDS, but no, you want to invade this one instead.

>>4205390
Good god literally every stereotype associated with you filthy /pol/shutters is true.

Nah, 98% of it is irony.

I did not come here to debate politics. I came here specifically to discuss my enjoyment of the ps1 and n64 era games, and the best way to enjoy them.

>6th gen belong here I don't care for any better alternative do it do it now why can't everyone change to accommodate meeeeeeee

>And as usual the polfag puts on his victim complex and derails a thread
I came here to address why I am new here, and why I have been active in no less than 3 threads involving CRTs, PSX and weekend thrift shop finds. This board does not move fast at all, and it

You can dislike me for where I migrated from, but me finding this board was because google directed me here. I was looking for something else, but this format is much better than what I imagined.

Derailing a thread? Not at all. This board moves very slowly. People that post in places like this generally put thought into it.

This thread has been available since Friday. It is in no way derailed. At this rate it will be here next week.

>looks back toward the grownups.

Retro gaming is surging in a huge way. Nostalgia pays well. As the mass of the internet saavy remember their childhood Sega Saturn growing up...Dad always playing sonic etc.....They are starting to have excess incomes from working.

When I get my snes back, I will be here discussing model(s) etc.

I looked for quite a bit of info on the net about my psx and it was scattered about...forums require registration etc. This is quick, easy and always has some sort of visual content. Forums are archived. I have learned quite a bit in the past week that I did not know. Very excited. The content here is excellent. I don't need anything else in a forum....especially not a "Add Friend" or "favorite" button.

Thanks again /vr/

Look if you want to be taken seriously, stop reddit spacing, and stop talking about /pol/. You're anonymous for a reason, act like it.

Still haven't heard a solid point as to why 6th gen should be allowed or considered retro other than "it's old".

>>4205586
It's because there is really no argument to be made. We're talking about the consoles that brought us Call of Duty, FIFA 14, Halo 2, nothing retro about them at all.

>>4205586
apparently this board is not fast enough, and as we all know fast boards like /v/, /b/, /tv/, /pol/ etc. are known for their quality discussions
also, some anons are butthurt because they can't discuss their childhoods here and /v/ only cares about the newest stuff

>>4205569
>You're anonymous for a reason, act like it.

Why should I continue to take verbal from you. I don't need any more beta orbiters, thanks. I am all full. Quit personally attacking me, and I won't continue to point out that you are fixated on one thing that was said, which was pertinent to the topic. Your opinion that you have some right to vex me is incorrect.
>>4205569
>stop reddit spacing
If you continue to insult me, I may continue to ask if that is the best you have.

I always called them a "paragraph". I don't know what a reddit space is, but if it is in a new dictionary I have not found it.

>>4205586
>Still haven't heard a solid point as to why 6th gen should be allowed or considered retro other than "it's old".

There is not. The closest to the discussion I think that these come to "retro" is running emulators on them. They are contemporary, but unsupported by their manufacturer.....There are 240p homebrews that would play "retro" nearly perfectly. I read about an xbox snes emulator that forced 240p. I have no way to test it.

It is very cozy that discussions last for days around here. The faster "format" causes discussions to be pruned at times faster than they should have ended. I would always rather hit post limit than be bumped off. It created a solid archive....not an incomplete mess with an unintended continuation thread.

>can't discuss their childhoods here
I think that this would be most of it. squeaky wheels.
