Are there any RPG discussion forums still alive in 2023, aside from the Codex?
If not, regale me with memories, good or bad, from the lost RPG websites of old.

I don't get the point when the discussion has been just bitter seething since the 2000's. It's been TWO DECADES of constant b***hing. At this point, even if the Jesus of RPGs came out, internet communities would still instinctively hate it's guts. Communicating on the internet has become mostly about provoking others to gain some attention in the form of replies.
If I like a game, do I go to Ganker to talk about it? No, because the replies are
>that game is dogshit
>not an RPG
>that series is dead
>they should go back to what it used to be (a half a lifetime ago)
>i don't find joy in anything because i'm deeply depressed
>i'm a schizo who dedicated his life into hating a developer
>internet communities would still instinctively hate it's guts
Disco Elysium did happen.
>>i'm a schizo who dedicated his life into hating a developer
Why is there so fricking much of this unironically
Be the change you want to see, anon. I do talk about games I like here. Of course, people will reply more if they disagree with you. What do you want them to say if they do agree with you, just upboat your post? But I'm sure most people will appreciate your genuine insights even if they don't reply.
And it's absolutely possible to have an interesting argument here, just ignore the ones that are obviously disingenuous instead of engaging.
2000s b***hing was legitimate, AAA without direct downloads (meaning every game had to sell enough to justify a spot on a walmart shelf) killed almost every midsize developer. But by the early 2010s anything with any audience could live on Steam and keep a few devs from starving, and now bitter CRPG people are just middle aged insane slav virgins ranting over nothing.

Which you just did with your post.
frick off to your Cuckdex you homosexual
rpgcodex dudes are least play games. Trannies throw their money at pozed games, leave a review, thinking it matters, then shelve them.

you just described Cuckdex gays
i'm pretty sure dex gays don't. They are the sort of people who bought one game 25 years ago and then never upgraded their pc, just kept running the same os for the same game for 1/4th of a century
>just kept running the same os for the same game for 1/4th of a century
Why are you giving them compliments?
oh you are one of those autistics?
Anonymity is good but some people ruin it, bit of a double edge sword you could say.
b***h sounds like a homosexual, lawl
Bitching about other people is way gayer than b***hing about games. This is fact.
They are not alive
Social media destroyed many forums, only few remain. RPG Codex is one, for a different hobby boardgamegeek is another. But many communities sadly couldn't hold out against facebook/twitter at first and then reddit/discord later
You might find something interesting archived on the Penny Arcade forums still.
I dropped them eons ago because they became cringe and SJW before SJW was cringe and troony. They were fun before that though.

Almost nothing remains.
No Mutants Allowed is a forum to discuss pre-Bethesda Fallout games.
There is also, relegated to a subforum, some discussion of newer WRPGs such as the Witcher series and also new games coming out in general such as Starfield.
