Why? He's obviously an over exaggerating autist but the 90s is when publishers and media really got into bed with each other and turned gaming media into a PR arm. To be honest it's a wonder it took so long for the industry to nose dive. It was primed since the early 90s to do so.

How do you join the party in USA? Democrats or Republicans, doesn't matter. It seem like all you can do as a citizen to get involved in politics is to vote or donate to the candidate, but not join the party and actually _become_ career politician. Central sites give no option to join, state ones only offer to "become a member of a team" to volunteer for party or work for party, but not to become an actual member.
Just who are the people you are voting for? How do parties fill their ranks? Are they some kind of aristocracy in the US? Do any of those on the picture know any party member personally?

No I’m not being ironic.

Both of these parties have existed since the 1800’s and it’s obvious that they aren’t running on the exact same platforms that they were 150+ years ago.

The problem with a two party system is that when one becomes dominant, the opposition will change its strategy and views to unseat the dominant party and vice versa forever.

Democrats and Republicans aren’t parties founded on any type of ideology or political theory (like a socialist party or a libertarian party) they embrace lose terms like “liberal” and “conservative” who’s definitions change slowly over time.

I could give you some examples of specific issues they flipped on in like three election cycles, but I don’t want to derail with political shitflinging again.

hes not wrong about how powerful the PCE was in japan at the time
famicom was really popular still, and sega might as well have not even existed outside of arcades.

NEC was also a very well respected computer company over there, whereas they were literally who everywhere else

its a shame that the tgfx-16 was lost to time basically everywhere else. hell its a shame they even remodeled it all, the nip one is so sleek looking.

No, it was almost always abbreviated to "PSX" or fully written out back then, very, VERY rarely you would see "PS" somewhere. It became "PS1" once the second one came out, and from then on "PlayStation" started referring to the current console.

This. It's annoying to no end too how politics always invades video game discussions, or unrelated discussions in general, because people don't realize that we have no fucking impact on politics and it's all ran by higher powers/wealthy people. All we peons have are an illusion of control, but I guess that's part of how they want it so we stay docile. Politics are a rich person's game.

>Then people will ask themselves "Why were they compaining back in 2020 when they had it so good?"

Most of it was inevitable with the natural evolution of things. Games were always going to evolve from pixels, to polygons, and next in the coming future VR, which will make standard Television-and-console-and-controller games irrelevant. Ever since the very start vidya has been an exercise in creating virtual worlds to escape to, and they wont stop evolving until we simply create our own perfect, unmistakable copy worlds of our own to escape into.

That said I feel the terrible political and economic climate of this era shares some of the blame for our current state of things. 2007-2008 sunk our progression into the darkest possible timeline, with shit like social media and micro transactions dragging gaming down with it. But plenty of the things that ancient Usenet poster was crying about is still available if not moreso today. Guides evolved to longplays, games get OSTs released on top of actual concerts for video game music, and at least 10 other new genres appeared since 1993 when their only genres were beat em up, shmup, doom clone or platformer.

Well in the pic it's not actually complaining about the terrible state of gaming in 1993 but nostalgia, stuff he wishes was still around
Of course today there is so much more stuff around to fill his every demand, but it's frustrating for us who lived in a time when the future seemed bright to see how creativity and freedom were actually stifled by every innovation, both in gaming and in life, and wonder how things might have been if we hadn't lost track of what's really important, so much so that today everything new brings a sense of dread now, of things and feelings being lost forever and impending doom, instead of the amazement and hope it used to bring.

I might be romantisizing the past, but I think getting rid of Snacks was like the original sin that allowed stupidity to foster unchecked.

Second sin would be selling 4chan to Hoot, out of all people. Or maybe Snacks was right, if he was tired of 4chan as far back as 2005 he should've just sold it then and there instead of let it rot and then complan it's rotting.

if leading by example is the way to do it, then perhaps youre right

i think the bigger issue came from people thinking they could change the world from posting on a fucking imageboard. chanology being the obvious first big example. but there have been dozens more over the years.
not only did it push out fun in favor s00per srs bullshit, but it also attracted all kinds of the wrong types of attention from all sorts of interest groups and even intelligence agencies. as anon comes and goes, those faggots DO NOT. theyre now a permanent edifice

He was a goon, don't get me wrong, but the fact he was so fucking prone to b& hammer anyone and everyone for any reason was basically what kept all anons on their feet to not just dwelve into low quality shitposting and actually put bare minimum effort on OC. And the actual on-topic boards wouldn't devolve into obnoxious shitposting FULL force, that'd be kept on /b/

>i think the bigger issue came from people thinking they could change the world from posting on a fucking imageboard. chanology being the obvious first big example
Chanology and The Fappening ruined this website strongly, the former brought in many people misled thinking this was some sort of social fort for change when it was always a lame-ass anime forusm, while the latter brought in journos and curious outsides. The definitive death blow to this god forsaken shithole imo, was the 2016 american election. What a fucking shitshow, that's when 4chan traffic spiked 150%, all of them redditors, the modern-day ebaumfag.

But ultimately, us, the userbase are also to blame too. "If you pretend to be retarded, you'll attract actual retards who think are in good company."

i forget the url unfortunately, but i used to know a handy site that allowed you to plot out graphs showing post amount, unique IPs, for all boards, or just the ones you selected. it was really cool, and all that data reflects what you just said
but i used to watch that site occasionally after i left, to keep tabs on the place. at the time i was somewhat worried they were gonna shut it down completely, in an effort to destroy/dilute the deeper IBs and internet at large, perhaps open their own honeypot to draw anon back after a bit.
you could argue thats actually what happened with 8gag, of course everyone except for Qoomers told jimbo to fucking stuff it with his new site which unironically has backdoors direct to DoD

another interesting spike in posters, that you might not ordinarily think of, was actually the shitcoin bubble in 2017. i wish i still had the pic, but i had scaled posts,as well as unique IDs on /biz/, and overlaid it over BTC spot price. almost an exact match. of course as the bubble died down, many left and a lot were def just bots, but a not-so-insignificant amount of them just moved to other boards
2017/18 /biz/ was an interesting time as, to my knowledge, the hotpockets had almost completely given up on it. and since there are no real /biz/ alts, it actually drew back a lot of diaspora for a time. became a surprisingly fun random board for a bit, before they split the domain.

but my policy has always been to keep my boards/sites diverse
if you get too stuck on a board on the way down, its fucking depressing. you can kick and scream all you want, but it wont change anything if youre being diluted by outsiders. best to just head for open waters, then cross your fingers and hope shit eventually works itself out
in /vr/s case it looks like it didnt turn out SO bad. sure theres problems, but this board is still much cozier than it has any right to be given where and when we are right now

>the internet has now become inseparable with irl, and as such, irl has rubbed off on it.
This is what annoys me the most, to be perfectly honest.
I came to the internet to get away from the real world, from stupid shit I didn't care for, like school, shitty classmates or stuff like that. It was all so free, so bold. And it was all done for fun, not for ad revenue or glory.

I really hate social media and smartphones caused such a normalfag migration to the internet you get tracked and doxxed for "wrongthink".

same senpai
it used to be as simple as "dont take the internet too seriously"
and that wasnt that hard to do, as the internet then was still primarily for fucking off

but as its gotten more and more intertwined with irl, thats become harder to do
i remember relishing this phenomena when i used to troll myspace as a kid in highschool. by fucking with their gay little webpage, you were actually able to fuck with THEM.

Moot could have instructed mods to take a zero-tolerance approach to greentext, forced memes, raids, furries, ponies, and other garbage, but he didn't.

Probably because the mods themselves were the ones posting that kind of shit

IMO, the biggest sin was /b/day. It may not have been THAT bad directly, cuz back then, we had alt-chans, and /i/ boards, but indirectly, it caused the most damage. It allowed milions of newfags who didnt lurk to just destroy the site culture like the lamers that they are. The reason for that was that we couldnt really do much about it, since we werent allowed to raid their shit back, or at least not in the name of 4chan.

Seen them here, on /co/, on /a/ and as >>7221395 says, here.

Containment boards were the worst thing that could've happened, if anything this site would've benefitted from another fursecution. /pol/ did nothing but attract Stormfags and r/the_Donald redditors, if moot had at least 2 brain cells he would've remembered what he did when he made /fur/ and IP ban everyone who posted there.
