Shh /vr/, no vidya, just talk

[Jimmie Hoover No.3108356]

Hey /vr/, I spend a lot of time on this board. We're always talking about old video games, exaggerating what's shit and what's GOAT, how hardware fags are hoarding neckbeards and how emulation and filters are the millennials, nuances that we love while sometimes its the bugs that really make the game. We relive our youth, or maybe just find that older games with all there limitations, actually are something more than you can get off the shelf for your PSUWiibone. Some of use even go as far as to code new games, emulators, and tools so that everyone can benefit from the seemingly magic that's computers. We (lighty) troll and get (majorly) trolled ourselves.

In this thread I just want to get to know a little about the crowd that frequents this board, even if you are just passing though because you think this board is lame or gay.

Personally I started really coming to this board about a year ago. At the time I was late 20ish, living in a new place, watch my parents die, just broke up with the only person I think I have truly loved, and think was trying to find something to distract me. I began programming that stupid Graviton game that got put on hold because of school. It's now on hold because I want to rewrite the most concise, badass, powerful, intuitive assembler possible so I can share my code with people in a way I am not embarrassed about my work. In the interim I did the "mega man" computer crash course series to give some of the more boot-strap intelligent crowd a leg up in how computers work, but hit the same "I need an assembly" wall. Soon anons. I think I'm still trying to distract myself from my SO parting ways with me. Don't get me wrong though, I love to teach people macic. It's one of the few things I think I might find meaning it, because a only a very personal crowd likes to know technical stuff. Any way, enough blabbering.

And no trip codes (although some of you can tell who I am)

Seems like a good thread for /soc/ since it isn't about vidya or even the board, it's about users.

And by god mods if you delete this thread you are soulless fucks.

I really really like (retro) video games and think that a lot of people who frequent the board are about the same age or older, and thus have something in common.

This would die in /soc/ and I want to keep it relaxed. If for some reason video games are important to you, be them as a means of escape or just occasional fun, at certain points in your life, tell us about it.

Even if the connection is stupid. For instance, I can index a lot of major events and people in my life next to video games I like for some stupid reason.

I used to enjoy them and play even single-player games with friends, switching who was playing when one of us died in-game. Now all my friends are dead and I see this massive library of a lifetime of games as a monument to them, but I can only play vidya when I'm drunk as fuck or I'll throw up. So have a bump I guess.

I'm stopping by since /v/ is shit and I'm truly amazed at the quality of posting here. I've been ruined after years of declining post quality and this is refreshing to see.

I think this has been a massive waste of time, all I got out of it was a bunch of neckbeards shaming me for not being as hardcore as them at some children's passtime. At least the porn was good.

It's "pasttime."

If you want off topic, go to /v/. They're great at not discussing video games.

This is pretty much true, they had a protomen thread the other day that just kinda devolved into random concept albums and musical taste the thread and it was fantastic. I got introduced to some stellar albums from those guys and all I could think was 'it's fucking /v/ how on earth could any good taste come from there' but it did. But we're /vr/ we should be just as good if not better.

I think this actually raises a point though, surely each board could use a thread every now and then regarding the users? I mean each board has different regulars right? So we do actually have something in common. Even a tangential off site area for /vr/ chat would die if not attached to the board. Why not let a thread run its course every now and then?

No, we're anons for a reason. The subject is more important than the people discussing it

I'll be 28 this July and have been playing games since I was but a wee lad. I started visiting 4chan in its early days (for porn at first and then for /b) back when I was 16, but abandoned it several years ago. /vr is the board that made me return. I like the slow pace.
