All in all still the best place to talk about videogames

nah Anon Babble is so full of culture warfare that not a single thread can escape the crossfire anymore. The whole "Anon Babble hates video games" thing used to be a joke but now you guys really do hate them. At least the Anon Babble splitoffs are ok

If by video games you mean thinly veiled coomer threads, then yes.

it's just tranny shills shilling their coomer games and mods remaking the same threads to farm engagement. Haven't had a good game recommendation in a long time from here

Le Redditchan /vee/ - Le Everything Except Le Video Games is le moast ebin board on le interweb tubes.

It's a low bar, however.

I got wasted last night and talked about vidya for hours on here. Good times. Once this place forces logins and handles I'll bounce. Only real reason I keep sticking around.

make thread about a videogame

get called a brown indian tranny shill turdworlder slop eater buy an ad

make thread about another videogame

deranged schizo ruins it because he made making discussion of the game impossible his only objective in life

There's good threads but they're very rare
Anon Babble is alright when they're not making another "how do we save the sega saturn" or "n64 bad stop liking it" thread, the others are way too slow (specially Anon Babble).

waifu thread

either its another blacked raid like those hex maniac or asuna threads or some puritan starts screeching about titties and how porn is why the board is dead.

its just shills and ironic shills at this point

Not really. This is a fucking cesspool. There isn't any meaningful discussion to be had here. I guess people still come here out of habit and to get their dopamine fix with all the ragebait that takes the whole catalog

Not really. This is a fucking cesspool. There isn't any meaningful discussion to be had here.

I just want 4am feels and Friday night threads to be respected as the only off-topic threads again. Culture war is like cheating, there's no going back. Don't blame Anon Babble though, blame Anita and Zoe they brought it to our door.

le Anon Babble has always been like this

newfag moment. Anon Babble is heavily shilled, discord brigaded and thirdies have internet these days and you're going to pretend it wasn't better 20 years ago? Kill yourself

you're going to pretend it wasn't better 20 years ago?

newfaggot
nobody that lurks here was here in 2004, no originalfags are left, and if they are, they are not on Anon Babble but on actual interesting boards where users arent just redditors and 14 year olds

comparing it to resetera, reddit and other "mainstream" social media? Yes

enjoy watching movies/tv in 2004

dont enjoy it anymore in 2024 just because

great argument

Every time I try to make an actual unironic vidya thread it archives within 5 to 10 posts.

It's just brown people whining about jews

Half the people posting here are brown zoomers who only care about US politics so makes sense this place now reflects that

I like Sunday night 4am threads when all the depressed gen x people come out and trauma dump. Hits me like a truck every time.

You can have meaningful discourse here in threads where reasonable takes incite other intellectual people to challenge it.
Not like on ResetEra or r/Games (I'm banned on both places) where you only say what is deemed correct or get banned for not playing along.

are there even any websites left for people that don't want to use the mainstream social media?
Anon Babble has been going to shit for years but I still have yet to find a suitable replacement

Barely, only games you can actually discuss on this board are

Recently released games with significant sales, but you'll have to sift through the 10+ shitpost/culture war threads wearing the skin of that game to find the one slow thread that actually has vidya discussion and said threads will disappear after a few weeks

Whatever shows up in more general threads like fighting/racing/sports/etc. game threads

Otherwise this board is too obsessed with talking about politics, porn, shitposting and off-topic discussion for any actual talk about video games most of the time.

enjoy a board without normalfags in 2004

dont enjoy a board with normalfags in 2024

youre a newfaggot

you're here forever, and also you're a newfaggot and in no place to speak about the state of Anon Babble

Whenever I feel like talking about a game seriously I just go to Anon Babble. Bunch of nerds over there.

I've been here for 10 years, please let me leave

It's not like the mainstream social media is any better. Facebook and Instagram both heavily promote ragebait, dogwhistles, and scams, and Twitter is bluechecks paying for real estate in everyone's timeline so they can make some flaccid political observation and end it with "thoughts?"

fucking election tourist
but no, you're here forever. I came here in 2006, i hate all of you, i hate Anon Babble, and i still come here every day
thankfully there's other, worthwhile, boards still.

Anon Babble

That only works for a select few games, new release threads on that board aren't too bad. But anything that's been going for a while are only loaded with the most autistic anons on this website which again makes discussion impossible.

There are A LOT of underrage here atm and I dont think theres any mods right now

Legit one of the worst boards on this site.

Still there are rare threads not polluted by general brainrot where you can find interesting stuff that you won't find anywhere else, though of course the number is steadily declining.

I've been probing lesser imageboards lately but the ones I've seen seem too dead to bother with. Unfortunately it doesn't look like any real competitors will arise in near future. It also makes me wonder how this accursed website stays afloat for so long.

because no one can leave
you think its a meme
but it isnt

Old forums from the 2000's had much better discussion than this place, but those died in favor of reddit, discord, social media. This place is really the "best" alternative and even then its a 2/10 at best, most people you converse with are bots, ESL, retards on their phones, underage first-worlders, more bots, and irony poisoned, demoralized people in their late 20's and 30's.

v/ is so full of culture warfare

And other sites aren't? Just because in other places there's only leftist opinions allowed (unlike here where every opinion is allowed) doesn't mean other websites aren't filled with cultural warfare tho.

Rogue Trader threads have been full of high quality game discussion, OC and people enjoying vidya.

Anon Babble is sorta just a video game themed Anon Babble. Meaning a lot of off topic shitposting thinly veiled by video games. The best places to discuss actual video games on this site are Anon Babble and Anon Babble

because only like 5 autists enjoy and play the game and participate in the thread, nigger

Mechwarrior/Battletech threads are decent. 40k threads in general are pretty good when people start posting lore.

I don't actually post anywhere else and never did. My only context is looking at how Anon Babble used to be 15 years ago. Yes I have autism, how could you tell

And other sites aren't?

Where did you read this?

Other sites having culture wars is why people want to go to other places to discuss their hobbies in peace. Why would I want to go to a movie theatre and instead of watching the movie everyone in the audience is talking about orange man or the brown hag? I come here to avoid that shit.

Mods are FAGGOTS for moving this thread, but anyways, Anon Babble has been the same since it's inception

lol mods are literally retarded
meta threads are allowed and discussing Anon Babble on fucking Anon Babble is retarded

also hi Anon Babble, haven't been here in a decade

The difference is niche stuff. Back then the most popular subjects of discussion here were mostly unknown to the outside world, like japanese indies and autism simulators. Now they're mostly forgotten in favor of weekly trends of whatever social media people browse.
Seeing once celebrated classics return but get no traction on here is depressing in its own way.

Nah. It's only good for recently released and leaked games where you can find and discuss with people who are actually playing games.
Otherwise, discord is better.

Your board will never be good again grandpa

The few discords I've peeked into were either half-dead or talking about random unrelated shit and blogposting, hardly better than any general on here.

The fact that you say that while on Anon Babble is hilarious. I'm only here because the thread on Anon Babble linked but holy christ this board is DOGSHIT now. It's full on porn spam everywhere and faggot porn at that. This is not the Anon Babble I knew 15 years ago. This is easily, after Anon Babble, the most newfriend shit board on this site. At least Anon Babble is still funny.

It is better thanks to the sole factor of being able to find people who might be willing to play a game together.

I wasn't talking about Anon Babble. It never looked like a good place for anything to being with.
