WHERE'S THE JOKE FUCKLEY

WHERE'S THE JOKE FUCKLEY

NeoGAF is dying/dead, btw.

DON'T FUCK WITH US GAMERS

Wait, what happened?

Mods were rapists and pedophiles

Rest of them bailed out

NeoFAGs migrated to Sup Forums en masse

Site owner accused of sexual abuse or something.

All the mods and admins abandoned ship yesterday.

Oh Jesus,the irony...

He got Savino'd

At least his kid is sane, Tycho.

oh that's why Sup Forums has been more awful than usual

I didn't knew who Patrick Söderlund was so I had to google it:
>born in Stockholm, Sweden (yes)
>EA executive
That is already reason enough for me to hate him.

Why are gamers so angry all the time?

Because the big names are going to shit.

And paid online.

Well, you can put some blame on the migration, sure. That point really can't be argued.

The real issue, however, is that the mods are banning and actively discouraging discussion of NeoGAF's implosion (and the entire video game industry/journalistic scandals by extension), thereby interfering with Sup Forums's long-standing and widely accepted obsession with bitching and moaning. That, combined with the influx of newfags lacking proper meme knowledge of Sup Forums, has produced a swirling hellstorm of misery and shitposting. All the oldfags are losing their mind between dealing with cultural retards and losing their one last shining ray of hope in this world.

That's good.

> (and the entire video game industry/journalistic scandals by extension)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

> thereby interfering with Sup Forums's long-standing and widely accepted obsession with bitching and moaning.
-ABOUT VIDEO GAMES! BITCHING AND MOANING ABOUT VIDEO GAMES!

VI! DE! O! GAMES!

Outrage culture. They're addicted to the feeling of superiority they have from getting morally offended over shit, so they sit online all day waiting for the next big controversy.

It applies to Sup Forums and NeoGAF as much as it applies to reddit and Tumblr and Twitter.

It's what happens when you get too embroiled in the "culture" and industry news instead of just talking about the things you like.

What does SJWs have to do with this?

>It applies to Sup Forums and NeoGAF as much as it applies to reddit and Tumblr and Twitter.

I shouldn't expect a gibbergayder to actually read a post, though.

Because gamers are simple creatures want nothing more than to be left alone to play their games. Regardless of race, creed, gender, nation, or religion, all everyone wants is relief and comfort, and for gamers, that's games.

Take that away from them, and what course is left but anger?

You described SJWs to a tee. Learn to spot an obvious joke.

Vivian James is still the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. Why did Sup Forums try to prove they're not sexist or whatever? Actions speak louder than memes anyway.

That was my entire point. Sup Forums is the exact same as SJWs but lacks the self-awareness to see it.

>tfw don't have to worry about the neogaf migration to Sup Forums because I stopped visiting that shithole 2 years ago

I feel bad for the people still clinging to it. Neogaf is only gonna make it worse than it already is.

Mainly to fly in the face of all the stereotypes SJWs were making about them on Tumblr.

They were supporting a female-run game development company to spite the SJWs that had tried to ruin it, and in turn were given a chance to basically create a character to put into one of the devs' games. While it would've been easy enough to just create something typically outrageous and offensive, Sup Forums realized they'd get to take the high road by defying expectations and making something half-decent instead. Someone posted Vivian James, the rest is history.

I'M AIRBRUSHING PURPLE TO SHOW YOU HOW FURIOUS I AM

The best move they made. As Sup Forums was being called sexists harassers, they found a feminist game development project that had been burried by the very same people calling Sup Forums out. By funding it, they had to address why Sup Forums would do such a thing. They would have to reveal that it was them that buried the project. The mental breakdown caused JournoList to coordinate Death of The Gamer articles, thinking they could scary Sup Forums off and pronounce themselves victorious against their enemies, the gamers. The bubble bursted.

Son, we both know that people from NeoGAF were already most likely here. It's just that now more of them might come. Even if they only go to Sup Forums, it's just a matter of time before they spread. No board is safe.

Sexual frustration.

that comic looks like someone dragged a magnet over their monitor

This looks like a topic that is more about the video game industry, the video game-playing community or something else video game related.
It should be moved to the Sup Forums board, instead of staying on the cartoons and comics-board.

...

How was neoGAF as a forum anyway? What is its deal?

Too many violent videogames obviously

Sjw's are only a small subset of outrage culture, if you think he only described sjw's you are being observant enough

That graph doesn't make sense

Am I the only one here who has given up on video gaming communites years ago and has felt light and free ever since.

Like I am tottaly unware of Video gaming scandals, debates and such, i only play video games now

>mods being hypocritical faggots again

I really hope each of you liberal hotpocket shitters get done in on bullshit rape allegations. You've destroyed Sup Forums and Sup Forums with your bullshit.

Dox fucking now

The character was a direct result of actions though.
They get accused of sexism and donate so much to a "get women into gaming" charity out of sheer spite/denial that they end up triggering one of the pledge goals of getting their OCDONOTSTEAL put into games. Then, rather than go with a fetish waifu like any other board would've done, they come up with their loli-persona instead.

You sound angry

>escapist
Ahahaha I hope that true. Clickbaiting jews deserves all the shit they get.

>actually condoning mod abuse

And you wonder why Sup Forums sucks balls now

Holier than thou virtue signaling diaperfurs, mostly.
Think of a site where the average poster is Dobson or Diaz.
The most famous thign I remember about them is one of their guys, a mod I think, was very insistent that the Dragon's Crown Sorceress was an example of pedophilia, what with her being a 20-30 year old with a fat ass and tits bigger than her head.

It's NOT video games though. It's more culture war shit. The only solution is to make /vpol/.

The joke is that he wasted an entire comic to reee about how triggered he was by some guy for reasons

>neofag is dead
>escapist is dying
>Sup Forums's mods are actually doing their jobs for the first time in fucking forever

Feels good man.

??? Hope goes down as despair increases. It's really simple

Reminder that fun is a buzzword

it's weird isn't it.

You mean The Escapist has other content besides Yatzee?

>fun

I wish the same thing would happen here, so we could get rid of all the obvious bait and agendapushing threads.

>killing games
>a joke

I was just asking what the joke is.

I can't wait until the entire site shunts you faggots back to Sup Forums.

>No board is safe.
Wait a minute.

WAIT A GOD DAMN MINUTE.

IS THAT FUCKING WHY THERE'S BEEN SO MANY SHIT THREADS BEING SHUNTED TO /TRASH/?! THAT THEY'RE ACTIVELY SENDING THE FETID PUKE OF THE NEOGAF FAGGOTS TO MY FAVORITE DUMPSTER?!

Then the graph is wrong

>Escapist laying everyone off

Shit. What does this mean for Zero Punctuation?

What the hell is it with gamers and their constant outrage over sooper important problems in their vidya like this? Why is outrage culture so hot?

By the way penny arcade looks like shit now. Glad I never bothered to keep up with that comic.

>implying people care about the hobos of Sup Forums

He's easily big enough to go solo like AVGN, but obviously they didn't firing HIM. They wouldn't even have a site at that point.

Seriously what the fuck is wrong with gamers?

Why are they aways so toxic, unpleasent and bitter?

>toxic

Existing in an envirompnment where being an asshole has no consequence probably helps.

Is it just me or Sup Forums posters tend to be far younger than posters from other boards?

I don't really vidya and haven't considered myself to be "a gamer" since I was like 17. I have never even heard of neogaf prior to today. Why is Sup Forums sending people to Sup Forums to discuss this?

This.

The art

>90% of all AAA games are absolute garbage priced at $60 and they are not even the full game
>the Early Access fad is growing even more
>F2P games are mostly P2W
>every other game is also going for the P2W route
>online gaming is complete cancer now
Also, "gamers" tend to be absolute massive bitches.
It's an explosive comibnation

There's a thought process floating around that Sup Forums is the last "good" place to talk about video games on the internet, so kids who don't buy into the unbelievably outdated "hive of scum and villainy" label for Sup Forums go to Sup Forums to talk about vidya, and as the years go on less and less people talk about Sup Forums with any kind of trepidation, so more people feel comfortable coming here and bringing their ignorant bullshit.

If you have nothing else but gaming as your hobby or your life revolves around gaming really you tend to be mad VERY easily.

I stopped going on Sup Forums once I reached my 17 birthday, something inside me changed I couldn't take the community seriously anymore, also began playing video games less and less during that time.

I am 22 now.

Also many people are identifying as "gamers" which is a construct invented by various companies and groups as way to consolidate a bunch of disparate groups under one label to be able to sell mech and goods to as wel la giving that group a "badge" to parade around to further entrench it..

The mods made a post on their forums that Yahtzee is basically the only "content" that's still on their payroll. The company who owns the site has locked the mods out of the site admin functions - they can still make posts and ban people, but they can't do much of anything else. Seems like they don't really know why it happened either.

He'll probably be fine even if the site dies completely. Most people didn't really care about their other stuff anyway.

It seems like that gamer identity bullshit backfired spectacularly

Videogame forum but somehow 20 to 30 times more cancer than Sup Forums would ever hope to be.
>the most braindead of console kiddies
>permavirgin whiteknights
>actual, literal, playstation shills
>mods permanently high on power trips
All into one quarantined package

Now it's a total dumpster fire because the people who took to it now adhere to it in ways more disturbing and borderline religious manner that people earlier on never intended.

This makes me kind of glad I gave up on video game communites.

Nice meme

you've killed gaming. the blood is on your sleeve. how dare you

>fetish waifu
Have you not seen the porn they do of her?

I don't usually use this language, but...what a colossal faggot.

Their hobby has grown and bloomed into a multi-billion dollar entertainment industry. They wanted to be taken seriously, but not at the expense of letting Other People into their sanctum sanctorum.

I think that's the story for a lot of people around here. The shit community combined with just not a lot of good games to talk about ended up causing a drift for many people who grew up with games and originally loved them to pieces.

>2013 Penny Arcade guys are annoyed/indifferent about tabletop.

>2017. "HELLO FELLOW TABLETOP PLAYERS! Please come to our new tabletop gaming convention. Make sure to check out our new Thornwatch board game/RPG hybrid thing!"

>Gabe doesn't like tabletop, Tycho does
>Gabe gradually comes around to tabletop.
>Gabe is way tf into tabletop now maybe more than tycho to the point where he's making his own game.

This wasn't like an overnight thing. I can see how it's frustrating if you don't like TT tho, I don't really either.
