Why is this board dominated by a handful of autists who insist on making dozens of threads on the same topic? We have:

>the anti-RE4 autist
>the shmup autist
>the ZX spectrum autist
>the anti-dreamcast autist
>the mother 3 autist
>the anti-3rd strike autist

Not just that, but every time a thread on here is moderately successful, it gets spun out into 10 other threads with lines like "is it comfy kino?" or "what went wrong?" or "now that the dust has settled..."

What happened to this board? Was it the 6th gen rule change? Was there a mass migration from /v/? I'm legitimately asking.

thats a big fat one

Anonymity is a double-edged sword. On one hand you have the freedom to post what you want without worrying about your status like on a forum. On the other hand, this emboldens autists because they think nobody will notice when they obsessively post about one thing for weeks on end. These losers actually think we're stupid and cant tell that theyre samefagging.

That’s just everyone
That game is garbage

Also it’s an autistic board on an already autistic website what do you expect

Yeah but this was a fairly decent slow board last time I frequented it. I'm pretty surprised by the change.

>> No.7071931

Because people who like retro games stay here instead of posting elsewhere, most people only have a few things they can talk about on a regular basis

I wish there were more pc-98 autists here btw. Some anon there really knew his stuff and directed me to some very cool. games. Thanks again for ryuuki denshou and twin road, anon !

I don't mind these threads because they're usually self-contained. The good thing about old /vr/ is you regularly had threads with 200+ replies that stuck around for days

I guess it's as simple as this: First, there are a lot of badly broken people out there. Second, this community is a backwater niche that tends to collect an unusually high percentage of them.

I don't care if 3S is good or bad, the point is that there is clearly one person spamming even tangentially-related threads with this opinion and derailing discussions

Nobody checks the damn catalog. They just decide 'Hmm... What if I make a thread right now' and beeline towards the post pop-up. I saw 3 or 4 Castlevania threads yesterday (not like it's a bad thing, though).

Because we like to sit back and watch whenever he's butting heads with the "Twelve is actually top tier" autist who appears in every 3S thread

Why did they make Yuri cut her hair short? Her braid was as iconic as her ass-spanking "chochi chochi" taunt.

If you'd actually been here you'd know all that shit was even worse before the rule change. Now we have almost 5% decent threads which is a huge improvement.

This board went to shit in a year anyways. It always starts out nice, then slowly becomes shit. Like everywhere, you just have to dig deeper to find the occasional good thread. Don't like seeing the autists? Just hide their posts. They already don't contribute anything worthwhile to the thread. Why even bother replying? So you can post some sick burn and own them? They're anonymous, it doesn't matter. You're just yelling at the ocean.

To try something different with her? At least in XIII you could put it back, and that's a fucking 2d game.

If anything that's more variety than there used to be. Before post-2000 stuff was allowed there were like three Sonic 2 vs 3 vs CD and Mario Bros 3 vs World threads a week

Underage aspies who think (You)'s are an upvote and seeing their shitpost on the internet in an accomplishment. This happened long before the 6ths gen rule change.
