[Anonymous No.7421075]

How do we make /vr/ great again, bros?

[Anonymous No.7421097]

Kick the boomers out that cant accept a Nintendo Wii is so retro as to be obsolete.

2006 is the cut off, Oblivion is retro, accept you are old

/vr/ was always shit. At least the shit isn't moving at snails pace any longer. Quit your whining faggot.

Why such an arbitrary number? If a ps5 game came out with the limits of the ps3 hardware, would people not question "why is the developer using this outdated technology?"

Ofcourse they would

>>7421105
Sorry gramps, I know it feels like yesterday, but time moves forwards. I love Oblivion almost as much as Skyrim, but there are people who's first game was gta 5, and can now have sex legally in 2021

[Anonymous No.7421157]

>>7421142
Yes. When i came here many moons ago they talked about gay shit like metroid, castlevania and zelda. At least thats somewhat down now.

Thanks for helping me realize "wah wah it's not retro" is literally just a mechanism to avoid growing up

>B-B-BUT MY SOUPED UP 2001 HONDA CIVIC WITH FLAME DECALS IS 20 YEARS OLD SO IT IS NOW VINTAGE TOO, TALK ABOUT MY THING

[Anonymous No.7421219]

Mods changed the rules and fucked the board, nothing to be done

[Anonymous No.7421223]

>>7421185
If the original gap between "classic, vintage" and making the forum was 20 years, then fuck yeah

Ok then, anything after 1990 doesnt count. Infact, anything after the Commodore 64 is super advanced alien technology

It's not an arbitrary number. I picked 20 because there are 20 years in one-fifth of a century. One finger on the hand of God. To stick in your ass bitch boy

/vr/ was never great. Boomers are shit. Zoomers are shit. Everybody is shit.

/vr/ used to be slow and pretty chill except for the usual autism spots. Things are worse now for sure.

If the jannies didn't commit sepuku after the 6th gen rule change and delete retarded /v/ threads we would still have a decent board.

[Anonymous No.7421329]

>I picked 20 because

Because of the evolutionary manifestation of 10 digits in total on our hands. The Wii is retro. And kid, leave God out of this, he wants no part of what comes next

[Anonymous No.7421413]

We should ban all discussion of pre- 4th gen console. Every game before 16 bit is archaic and clunky. No one actually discusses the content of the game and more the historical context of the technicalities.

[Anonymous No.7421417]

>>7421102
Yes for 2 weeks now

[Anonymous No.7421431]

I mean I've been gaming since 1994 so I have plenty of things to talk about.

The concern I have is that we're eventually going to run out of things to talk about. How many times can we resurrect the same shit?

Also the definition of retro is naturally going to change. It's about 20 years before something is considered retro. It's a sliding time scale. We'll eventually reach a point where modern consoles are retro.
It's good to introduce fresh meat every so often to keep things from getting stale.

Great counter-argument, copy-paste with a wojak. That's what /vr/ was missing pre-6th gen update.
>>7421317
For all the dumb posts 6th gen related, the worst are by far from crying feetstompers making falseflag bait threads, we sure are retarded huh fellow zoomers, and shit threads like this one.

This is true but a weird thing of chan culture is that if a change spurs on that amount of baiting autismo-rage then it was a bad change and things should go back.

Reminder they made a board just for wrestling and moved the one thread for skateboarding to /out/ which makes no sense, and will again make another whole board for skateboarding and a few other general threads that don't need it, yet absolutely had to mix /vr/.

[Anonymous No.7421623]

Mods already did it by allowing 6th gen. This board was absolute dogshit for years before that.

The only worthwhile part of this entire image is the part where gen six gets the rope on this board

I wish. The unfortunately reality is board quality was taking a nose dive for a bit then the rule change to let zooms zooms in because too many faggots from /v/ whined about this board being too slow finally got what they wanted and now it's deader than my sex life.
