These meta threads add more clutter than there would be if the mods would just chill a bit and let the grown-ass adults with mortgages and families discuss their childhood games on a board that isn't /v/

Yes and that's my point, 4chan is filled with retards completely disconnected with the real world. I played some cs 1.6 the other day and a friend of mine told me "Hey didn't know you were into retro gaming". It took me a while to realize that he was right, just look at the game objectively, it's clearly from an era from the past, long gone.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:22:05 2019 No.5538310 I used to dislike the jannies. Then I realized how they keep out all that 6th gen or borderline 6th gen garbage. Go fuck yourself.

It should literally just be games older than a certain number of years. PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube should be /vr/ by now along with PC gaming from that time period. It would refresh /vr/ tremendously and I bet all kinds of new and fun discussions would develop.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:30:51 2019 No.5538331 >>5538328 >implying it's not 6th gen babbies butthurt because their childhoods aren't retro

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:30:55 2019 No.5538334 >>5538318 There's not enough interest to keep a thread alive longer than an hour on a board that moves that fast.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:31:50 2019 No.5538336 >>5538331 The 6th gen was almost 20 years ago. Current underage b& were at most still in diapers back then.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:32:10 2019 No.5538338 >>5538334 bullshit, I see 6th gen topics all the time

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:32:19 2019 No.5538339 >>5538328 I think it's mostly because the rules now exclude the childhood games of people around 30 years old, so an increasing proportion of users are maladjusted kids desperately trying to fill a void buying baubles with their first paychecks.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:33:00 2019 No.5538341 >>5538328 Or they're amping up the shitposting to retaliate because they can't get their way, which is posting about non-retro sixth gen garbage here.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:34:31 2019 No.5538345 >>5538314 No, allowing 6th gen would suck dick. For 6-8 gen, there's another forum at /v/ for you. For the other 5 gens, there's here. For v2k, there's a failed /vg/ thread because 6th gen is complete shit and all the fans of it are too.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:35:11 2019 No.5538346 >>5538341 Many popular fifth gen games were published in 2003. I posted a thread about 2003 game I played on my 90s PC and it was deleted. It seems the management have a huge blind spot.

Yep, I agree. The cutoff should be 6th gen and the GBA at least.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:38:38 2019 No.5538353 >>5538346 The rules are supposed to allow any game for a 5th gen system including late PS1 releases from >2000.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:41:12 2019 No.5538358 All in favor of bumping the cut-off date to 2001 so that PS2, Xbox, Gamecube and GBA are allowed?

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:41:32 2019 No.5538359 >>5538353 Also one sixth generation console, just because 2000 is a big round number.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:42:34 2019 No.5538360 >>5538358 idk, GBA at least since the games are very retro, lower res than NES, and can't even do as many layers as SNES

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:46:57 2019 No.5538370 >>5538360 The GBA really was the last oldskool ROM cartridge-based game system. The DS switched to using Flash ROMs instead of mask ROMs and the game data is loaded into RAM in the console, it doesn't map directly into the CPU address space.

Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:48:12 2019 No.5538372

there should be a sticky'd cyclical sixth gen containment general on /vr/ but all other sixth gen threads get deleted

it would keep the board from getting flooded with sixth gen shit but also stop the kiddies from shitposting /vr/ because their childhood is banned

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:49:12 2019 No.5538373 >>5538372 Agreed, because Dreamcast is sixth generation.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:50:32 2019 No.5538374 >>5538370 Were you ever curious enough to remove a cartridge with it on?

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:51:33 2019 No.5538376 >>5538358 Honest question... What 6th gen games are you SO keen to discuss?

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:51:37 2019 No.5538378 >>5538372 and then when the general degenerates into unbearable garbage (as all generals eventually do), they'll whine to get threads give them an inch and they'll take a mile

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:53:08 2019 No.5538381 >>5538356 We had a Civ3 thread once or twice that wasn't deleted.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 02:54:18 2019 No.5538384 >>5538372 If you had a PS2 as a kid, you would have to be at least 25. I wonder if some anons just aren't aware of the passage of time.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 03:00:26 2019 No.5538390 >>5538372 here's an easier solution, rename the board into 20th century gaming

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 03:01:44 2019 No.5538392 >>5538378 This. If you're not at least a millenial I'd really prefer you not even make a thread. This board should be for the people who were there. Keep your shit to lurking and asking what to play in the threads, you weird minecraft zoomers.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 03:02:52 2019 No.5538393 >>5538390 and disallow post-y2k fifth gen games like Perfect Dark and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2?

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 03:03:56 2019 No.5538396 >>5538392 Born in 1989, played with GBA before my balls dropped.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 03:04:58 2019 No.5538397 Imagine bitching about games in a board that doesn't want them because in the board it is allowed nobody gives a shit That being said I like god hand and warriors

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 03:05:00 2019 No.5538398 I mean, fuck. I was 14 when Vice City came out and I'm going to be 31 in a week.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 03:07:35 2019 No.5538402 >>5538398 It's a little older now than its 1986 setting was on release. It wioll be hilarious if the rules never change and this board becomes 90% kid collectors instead of older adults who played anything the first time around.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 03:14:07 2019 No.5538409 >>5538402 it would be even more hilarious if the board was filled with people who wanted to talk about retro games instead of their childhood memories

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 03:19:16 2019 No.5538415 >>5538314 Actually even among that 25 years worth of games, /vr/ only seriously discusses about 5-10% of it.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 30 03:25:33 2019 No.5538420 >>5538250 Then I won't be able to talk about morrowind!
