Some kind of Italian news story?
>chilling there are no other adjectives to define it, is called Rapelay and it could be translated as repeated rape and it is not news but a video game that comes from Japan and in a short time has reached the online sales sites most frequented by boys, it has now arrived even in Italy. You just need to have a computer and download everything from the internet, game and translation.
If until now we wondered how harmful those violent video games were, where the winner is whoever kills the most enemies, well with rapelay we have gone far beyond, the protagonist is a maniac who puts the eyes on a family made up only of women, a mother and two daughters, one of whom is a minor, and it is the latter whom is noticed by the rapist, the game begins at the train station, where it is possible to zoom in on the girl to lift her skirt, and then continues on the train where the harassment and the actual rape begin, those who play Rapelay feel everything about the rape, the violence and the pleas of the victim, and if this wasn't terrifying enough, the icing on the cake comes with the finale, because to win it is not enough to rape as many women as possible but you must also force your victims to have an abortion otherwise you are thrown under the moving train.
>The game that has been on sale in Japan since 2006, in Europe it has been banned from online sales websites but downloading it from the net is very easy, we tried it too and in just 5 minutes we found 4 different editions, one even allows to modify it to your liking to make the plot, if there ever was a need for it, even more violent.
Good thread idea OP.

that and there was an actual section to post response videos to a video, and popular ones that let anyone post responses often ended up a laugh riot of random shit

Did anyone even like that feature? All I remember seeing it used for was to piggyback off popular videos with spam replies.

Why are old videos of such low quality?
YouTube degrades the quality of older videos.
citation needed
Everytime a new codec/format gets introduced it recompresses old videos, which make them lose quality. It will happen to modern videos eventually
no it does not moron
Yes it does
They constantly recompress older videos to save on space
It was the age of bad video compression
Because even to this day recording and storing footage is insanely resource intensive. Back in the day you might've had a """broadband""" line with like 500kb/s upload speed and even a shitty 240p video would've taken hours if not days to upload. Plus capture card and consumer screen recording software hadn't gotten to the point it is today, where you have a host of good options to choose from. There's a reason like half of the videos from before 2008 have that "Unregistered Hypercam 2" watermark on them. The people that could've actually gotten good footage from a Gamecube game were either professionals who didn't bother or rare hobbyists. More entry-level videographers often had substandard equipment, thus the low quality of their uploads. But it was youtube and it was free so lower quality was acceptable.
Storage, I remember when they added 480p as high quality, what a jump and the sound was so crisp.
Also, all flash video players were awful.
its not "storage" you dumb fricking moron. its bandwidth. youtube/google israelites are greedy homosexuals. quality degrades massively every other year because they keep re-encoding videos and lowering the bitrate. I remember 480p on mobile used to be perfectly watchable in 2018, no macroblocks. these days you need to play 1080p minimum. and god brace you if the video does not use vp9...
It's cool to see old SMW hacks by searching "lunar magic". The levels look either janky as frick or surprisingly decent.
It gives it soul.
The real answer is that Youtube began converting video files into flv and this badly degraded the quality of these videos, which is why you see pixel. Bad compression and conversion.
In fact, there are videos from before 2007 that have better quality then the same video that was uploaded in 2008 for this reason.
Is there a good alternative to Youtube? I'm surprised it hasn't been dethroned yet.
Japanese commercial to Minish Cap.
Youtube video compression today might be the best in the entire world, no joke, so why would you need that (besides the cancer that are the people that run youtube, but as long as it's not your job you shouldn't care too much about it).
It's only a problem for older videos.
I guess there's maybe DailyMotion and Vidlii? There aren't any serious competitors because it costs way too much money to run these kinds of sites.
there's odysee, rumble and b***hute, but half the time I try to watch a video on these platforms there's loading problems or seeking the timeline doesn't work. plus the videos uploaded are not good quality
dunno about rumble, b***hute has problems, yes, but odysee seems to work fine
Bitchute is clearly the designated right-wing platform. A site with the word "bitch" in it will never be popular with the masses.
Odysee and Rumble have generic names.
Dailymotion has been around for forever but it's a shit site that barely works for the last 10 years and it's owned by homosexual frogs.

there's literally nothing wrong with youtube if you aren't a """""content creator""""" who wants to make money on it
all the b***hing and complaining about youtube comes entirely from being demonetized, which is up to advertisers, not youtube, as to what they're willing to advertise on. Similarly, the """"algorithm"""" for getting lots of views, which doesn't fricking matter if you don't want to make money off of youtube whether you get 10k views organically or 1mil views because the algorithm likes it.
outside of that the only bad thing about youtube right now is that your video can get taken down just because a robot thinks the auto-generated captions say Black person or ISIS or something, even if it clearly didn't if a human listens through
it STILL provides infinite upload space for free, which is unparalleled. But people take that for granted.
>Is there a good alternative to Youtube?
the one im making unironically
its part and parcel of the advertising revenue model. as for the unlimited full quality video storage, viewers take for granted its importance but i dont think creators do - because thats not whats most important for them, the reason creators moan is that youtube is not a good way to generate money, even in a perfect situation where a creator doesnt get demonitized (which happens more often than you think, its a hypothosis, but i believe at least 10 - 20% of video production time likely goes towards making the content youtube ready, less so for quick content like letsplays where theres a little more forgiveness for a fricked up revenue video) but even then hardly any creators generate their living off ads now anyway afaik, patreon and merch is whats keeping a lot of them afloat and thats not even mentioning the fact many of them do it with a secondary employment
youtube is just too precious to be dethrone tbh. There's tons of history old contents for youtube that are too valuable to be lost and that's why some people still using it. I know because I'm one of them who regulary find older videos.
Youtube is garbage but "CANTENT KREATORZ" are too reliant on it to ever give another video hosting site a chance.
youtube is a money sink, it hasnt made any money for google. They subsidized it because its value cannot be measured in $$$ (just like FB). Thats why it never had any real competition.
I agree I can barely use youtube anymore with how fricked up the search algorithm's are nowadays.
>search for a vod of some live event coverage
>entire first page of results is filled with videos of people reacting to said event
>actual video of the event is on page 3
make it stop
I KNOW YOUR FEEL ANON.
>HERE ARE 10 UNRELATED VIDEOS BUT YOU'VE WATCHED SIMILAR STUFF RECENTLY
I AM NOT INTERESTED RIGHT NOW, I AM SEARCHING FOR STUFF
that's not all.
in 2006 when you googled for shit like "favorite movies of 2002" you'd get dozens of forum threads with people giving out vastly personalized answers all with individual reasons.
do that now and you get 15 pages of click site articles all with the same top ten list from rottentomatoes or something where each of the top ten items are on a separate page to maximize ad revenue or something probably.
There will never be one.
>Youtube is too big to fail
>Youtube runs at loss
Youtube will remain king for these two reasons.
Watching video over the internet in 2006 was a very different thing. Phones didn't do it. And if they did it wasn't done well. Broadband speeds weren't that high yet either. And people generally didn't yet see PCs as a place to watch videos so uploading really high res / high bitrate stuff wasn't seen as necessary.
Also the source material, that is a GameCube intro FMV so at best it had DVD resolution 720x480. There was a fairly low ceiling on how good it'd look even with perfect capture and compression.
before google bought the platform (there was a very small period of time where this holds true) you had high bandwidth demands, and as such they made a system that could convert everything into an FLV of varying quality. Most of the oldest content is literally FLV because they converted it to this and played that back instead of a full AVI or MP4. if you uploaded the same clip today it wouldnt be great, but would still be higher quality than whatever they converted it to
additionally in that small window, a manual review process existed where all uploads were approved or rejected from the platform. the ONLY reason i ever remember this is because one of my videos got rejected. cant say im surprised it doesnt exist anymore since its so much shit getting added to the platform, but i can say there was once a real person there that approved it all
We're in the 5th generation of wireless technology, faster speeds, more data, more storage. When these videos where uploaded they would take someone with average wifi like 2 minutes to load and it buffer every 10 seconds. Youtube didnt even have a hd option back then. The equivilent for us right now would be streaming a 32k video. Its so ludicris nobody even thinks about the posibility. On top of the fact that unlimited wifi was unheard of so everyone browsed the internet in slow rations otherwise their bill would be extremely high.
Lots of people had slow/limited internet and storage was expensive so they recorded/uploaded in higher quality. YouTube destroyed most older video's quality with re-encoding too, probably to save on storage space themselves.
Here's a spared 480p video from 2005
It's sad that Lost Kingdoms is likely never coming back. I wish Nintendo would buy the IP.
that shit is awful debug mode Melee sucked difficult to make movies there
Holy fricking shit, I've been looking for a way to search for old youtube videos for years, thank you so much anon
I can't stand how you can search for an old 2006 youtube video by its exact title, yet the first results are always curated bullshit from news sources or checkmarked channels that have literally one keyword that you searched for in its description or something, but nothing else. God, I hate Google.

I don't think it's very coomer, mostly outfits and dances.
But then, there were things like dance with rogues for Neverwinter Nights, so maybe Morrowindgays were jerking off back then already.
Incredible on how morrowind went from cool and immersive comfy shit like this to reddit lorehomosexualry ruled by kirkbride's wife.
MK and Todd were right, never strain from classic LOTR for fantasy games.
im always glad to find people that speak out about the lorehomosexualry that plagues the elder scrolls right now, sadly theres no other fantasy games to contain those autists yet until maybe obsidians rpg comes out
What is worse is that most of the lorrehomosexualry gays reeks of fanfiction from people who never played it at all and thinks it mut be muh alien shit, when people back then were playing the game like that video there.
it is kinda becoming a coincidente that all games who abandoned their classic LOTR roots are turning into shit.
this looks comfy as frick and people there acted like normal human beings.
The original Luigi's Mansion still has the best attention to detail.

Is it nostalgia or did we really have it better back then?
People on the past internet were way more genuine, that's for sure.
It isn't it really was better just compare the comment sections and you'll see why
oohhhh husbant....you ret 2000s pass you by and wasted your rife......now we are homeress...
With more and more people the average quality of content of any community will go down.
The weird thing is that you can't notice it when you're "in" it, it seems that the passage of time changes what you think about past experiences.
The internet was a far healthier place without vindictive culture wars. People cared more about each other and the internet didn't exist solely for money to be milked out of it.
I have a younger brother in his teens and I'm terrified for him and his whole generation. It's all so nihilistic to kids now, there's no drive to improve the world anymore even. Just backstabbing each other and getting fricked up on xans.
go back to 2007 internet and you would become bored in a week, the vast majority of youtbe videos are absolute trash and boring as frick, even the most popular ones, there is a reason you don't go back to watch them outside of viral and classic cringe videos.

>that pic

you can do that now and all the vidy afrom back then is now easier to access than ever through emulation
I do understand that the time is more innocent and genuine especially when it comes to online conversations, i was being a bit aggresive in my post but refuse to accept anyone would actually enjoy 2007 youtube over modern youtube, 2014 and beyond is reasonable, there were mabie a handfull of creators that were anywhere near the level of AVGN in terms of raw entertainment in the very early years
Yo are larping too hard amerimut born after 2001
have you considered that back in 07 you could have a meaningful conversation with people and explore the internet for hours on end very easily
and you could also, you know
play videa
There is value in boredom.
There is a huge abundance of information and other content on the internet today that just didnt exist back then. Like an unbelievable amount of information.
Itll be impossible for someone who didnt have internet in the early 00s to fully realize was it was actually like.
I remember asking a question about a small snowblower engine years ago, on just a random tractor forum. The answers I got were no help, some were in fact wrong, and it was really hard to find that particular information if it was there. Once click on youtube today would give me that info.
Another example was I got a guitar at a garage sale, had a weird sustainer built in that didnt work.
I asked on 3-4 guitar forums, nobody had ever heard of the guitar and couldnt help me.
I figured it out on my own months later.
Today there are a ton of people selling the same exact guitar, its part, there are youtube videos on it. One google search away. From my phone thats in my pocket everywhere I go.
Its just incredible how different it was.
wow it's almost like the point of the internet back then was to interact and make your own content instead of just being force-fed shit by algorithmically-chosen influencer #56892 who is only doing what he does for a quick buck
>the point
There was never any point to the internet you dumb fricking homosexual.
This. It was fun, but also boring. I remember being bored all the time as a kid.
No, the Internet literally was better back then.
It was much better. PC only filtered an enormous amount of dumbfricks who were brought in by smartphones, on top of the fact that third worlders didn't have internet in the early days.
All the gibe moni pl0x memes back in the day were the harbinger of the destruction of the internet. Now the place is full of ignorant third world savages and vapid c**ts on their phones.
The quality of this site would skyrocket just by not allowing phoneposting, but that would never happen.
The world before smartphones and social media might have been less convenient but it felt real and meaningful.
I feel so apathetic to it all these days, like it all feels artificial.
That's because it is. A lot of people create staged content in hopes of going viral and raking in dough.
Social media trivialized Internet interactions. I remember my local imageboard was literally a wasteland of unmoderated spam (which is by itself outrageous by today's standards) but in the midst of it you could have profound discussions with people. There are not standards to be had now, you assume everyone you talk to is clinically moronic or just up to hurt you, everyone has an identity label and everyone is behind layers of irony. And people used to at least lament negative trends in society and the Internet and try to pull themselves out of them. Now there's only bitterness because things only get worse. I feel nothing towards anything on the net.
>its all post ironic bro
Maybe you're just old homosexuals who are stuck in the past and assume everything and anything that goes beyond the socially acceptable box of opinions and thoughts from the 2000s is just irony when its not.
Yes we absolutely had it better. People were actually spread out in forums instead of being trapped in the same 6 social media spaces and content and posts were wayyy more genuine. I thought this post ironic and shitposting era would've died a few years ago but no we're still here and I hate it I would like to move on now
My life fell to shit in like 2009, it was better
Significantly better. The net was for encyclopedias and geeks, you could walk away from it for anything else.
There are homosexuals who've written entire personal wikis where they whine about how much worse the internet is now, but one thing I don't see mentioned often enough is the apparent underlying REASON for someone to create content.
In the past, you'd post because either:
• You wanted to entertain or inform others.
• You had a random unfiltered brain fart and nobody is there to tell you 'no'.
The former gave us good stuff that's fun to browse through. The second gave us a sense of genuineness and honesty.
Today people seem to post mostly to entertain THEMSELVES. It's a way of projecting your ego onto the world, to leave a mark in some way, to receive acknowledgement (upvotes, likes, views, (You)s, etc.).
It's not universal, but generally speaking people aren't really posting for the sake of others' enjoyment. Things feel plastic and selfish.
The internet was better before everyone had access to it on their phones, this is an absolute fact.
>Is it nostalgia to think that the times when we're were younger with less responsibilities, and had a simple childlike veiw of the world, were better times than now?
Yes.
It's just statistics, honestly. Computers used to be an IQ check, and the internet was generally populated by hobbyists. Now, think about real-life. How often do you meet these people with sparks in their eyes that want to create, learn, or do things? The unfortunate truth is that the majority of the population is dull and lifeless, and they are a VAST majority compared to the old-school hobby autists that used to produce the majority of the internet's content.
The internet really was a more innocent, genuine place back then.
some dipshit kid told me about this series in elementary school and it's how I got hooked on Youtube. I'd watch it through the Wii web browser on a borderline dial-up connection and I loved every minute of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yx8KDImBNgA
It was a bit before my time (regular access to high speed internet wasn't available to me until about 2012), but I imagine that the majority of people didn't know how bad it would get. It's just how it is, taking the present for granted and complaining about the small stuff of the day, it's probably happening to me right now but that's just the way it is. I'm sure that some man-made horror beyond my comprehension will strike sometime within the next decade and I'll be nostalgic for this era somehow.
it's strange, because I don't think the internet was really *more* positive in the past on a wholesale level, it was just more intimate and personal. not everyone had broadband yet, and smartphones weren't even a thing until more than halfway through the 00s, so if you were posting about something on a space on the internet, chances are you were a big enthusiast surrounded by other big enthusiasts. it's easy to be a casual fan these days, chasing clout by stating the obvious and whatnot but you couldn't do that in the past if you wanted attention, or at least positive feedback. I think that's what people miss the most about the old internet, that feeling of being in your own little corner of the universe with people who liked the same thing(s) you did, and part of why people still cling to Ganker in 2022, because it's arguably the only place left that remotely resembles that old nature of the internet.
>it was just more intimate and personal
The general precaution we were all taught and learned was to never post personal details online for any reason, not even personal pictures. It enabled people to really engage in their interests without risking being embarrassed or harmed by internet stalkers IRL.
Kids are fricked now. They're literally slaves bought and sold between advertisement companies.
So are adults. Brain dead zombie zoomers are a result of their opioid addicted Gen x parents ignoring them to scroll Facebook. Millennials kids are gonna be even more fricked up
Don't forget baby boomers. The old dummies are getting hooked to this shit worse than millennials.
>part of why people still cling to Ganker in 2022, because it's arguably the only place left that remotely resembles that old nature of the internet.
It's honestly just reddit with less rules at this point. But yeah I basically just hang around for those small bursts of dopamine I get when I find a fun thread that reminds me of better times.
It feels like its getting tougher to find those gems. Every time I dial up the catalog a my 12 or so favorite boards, its filled with Redditfrogs, political bait and Blacked/Bleached posting. It feels like people just wantbto argue instead of have a simple discussion.
>It feels like people just wantbto argue instead of have a simple discussion.
Well that's actually always been a constant. But I agree with your sentiment
Things were legit a lot more free, even on the big sites. The powers that be hadn't yet decided that they really needed to clamp down and police all online media and discussion
>no ads
>nobody posting fake revenue generating garbage videos
>no sjws
Yeah I'm sure it's just nostalgia.
>no ads
Never happened
>nobody posting fake revenue generating garbage videos
Yeah, just moronic children posting fake garbage videos for the frick of it
>no sjws
Sure.
>its because of smart phones
You stupid fricks are so old and out of touch its incredibly. Always interesting to see the mind of 30 year old men who think they're still 20.
Most of you b***hing about smart phones first gained access to the internet when you didn't even have hair on your balls and you dare complain that the internet is too popular now? The internet didn't get more popular in the sense that 40-50 year olds are now using it the same way you do. No, the internet got more popular merely because more and more time has gone by with newer and newer children incorporating the internet into their life as their life.
There are homosexuals on Ganker right now born in 2008, they don't even remember 9/11. They grew up exactly the same way you did. Only difference between the internet then and now aside from corporate interest is the fact that its filled with people younger then you and this trend will continue until you die.
You were the first generation to grow up with the internet. it was a special time but you will not be the last. Finding a 50 year old on the net 20 years ago was unheard of. So was finding a 40 year old. Now all you gays are 40.
Depends on which circles you were looking in. There were plenty of oldgays on the various tabletop RPG forums, back in the day. Hell, Gygax himself posted every now and then on ENworld even in the early 2000s right before he died.
The difference was that it tended to be hobbyists who knew how to use a computer, not normalgays.
12 year olds such as yourself using the pre-made family desktop were not computer hobbyists any more than phoneposters.
>aside from corporate interest
You're underestimating the impact of this.
Your picture is a forced meme from twitter
The first thing i see on the comment section of those videos is someone calling someone else a homosexual.
Yes, it was better, way fricking better.
Fewer third worlders shitting up comment sections with nonsense.
I wish english wasnt so accessible, things really were better when europosters didnt know english well enough to break into our space
Don't forget the hues, mexicans and streetshitters. They're everwhere, they're always wrong and they never shut up.
there were fewer Black folk in europe.
Back then one of the most viewed youtube videos was a couple of friends that made a cover of the pokemon theme. The internet died when the most viewed video of youtube stopped being the history of dance and became (insert song by multinational record label)
I hate how the front page of Youtube is always some MrBeast garbage, shitty Fortnite highlights and algorithm bait.
Do you feel good and hopeful now? There's your answer.
>Do you feel good and hopeful now?
I feel even worse
You can actually see youtube die on 2010.
It could be argued Lady gaga and Justin Bieber killed YT, both were artists primarily followed by woman. Therefore YT died when woman got their hands on it, which makes total sense.
Women were on youtube long before then, moron. Youtube died when monetization happened. All the innovation and creativity fell by the wayside while everyone chased adbux.
women were on youtube before 2010.

I'm pretty sure this wasn't made by a man.
I probably also don't need to post "hey clip" since you already know it.
You're misdirecting your hate for normies into women in general.
There were also woman nerds back in the 90s, that doesn't mean being a nerd was a woman thing, the existence of outlier proofs nothing.
There's an amount of nostalgia but the internet was legitimately better, if you consider niche being better (I unironically do).
What imo killed the internet was the abnility to make major money (by extension corporations and extreme fame, all intertwined) and the 2016 USA election. Money creates a strong drive to appeal broadly and the election was so divisive and at the perfect time to permanently frick conversation. Being able to earn money took the soul out of content and how divisive the election was completely ruined conversation. This is obviously highly reductive but I think greed is essentially what ruined the internet.
You could've just said it was the juice instead

>Starfy GBA commercial
It's a damn shame only one of the DS titles ended up getting ported over, Starfy is the best platforming game to this day. It wouldn't be so bad if the translation efforts wouldn't fall apart so much.
Hell yeah, loved the DS one as a kid.
Why the GBA games are never translated?

She's playing Sonic Mega Collection Plus - Sonic & Knuckles. She's playing as Knuckles as you can hear the cutscene right before entering Mushroom Hill since Sonic does not start his playthrough with a cutscene.

thank you for this search tip. about to find a bunch of classics.
S O U L
Why do we need to use "before:XXXX"? Why is there not an option to search before/after/ or even on a specific date in the filter settings?
Same reason dislikes are hidden. Because Youtube people are morons.
Dislikes were hidden because joe biden, bill gates and anythony fauci videos kept getting downvoted into oblivion. The majority of youtube users hated that they took them away. Purely sweating israelites.
because that's a feature less than 0.01% of people would use.
youtube now is a content feeder and it prefers dictating what you watch instead of acting like a video hosting site.
Be thankful this still works, all advanced query features on Google were killed long ago so they can exert even more control over the results
I don't understand why no one has stepped up and made a real competitor yet since they have been hell bent on sabotaging it for over a decade now. The closest thing by a mile is bing but its just not close at all even after google has been lobotomized a hundred times.
Not only that, but Google doesn't actually index shit the same way they used to. Did you know that google lies about how many pages of results there is? Try going past page 3 sometime. Chances are it drops the facade and tells you there aren't any more results.
Google is basically just DMOZ at this point.

Holy shit YOU CAN DO THAT?
Frick me I'm now adding "before:2015" to literally every search I ever do on that shithole
if you do -Black person it will hide everything with Black person in it too. likewise, if you want exact word matches, put quotes around it. so if you want it to contain Black person, type "Black person"
im sure you get the idea. theres plenty of ways to do shit anon. not every engine works this way though so be aware that some need extra work
is there a filter for 60fps content?

Enjoy it while it's still around. I just know that one day they'll remove it
it already dilutes your search results if you do something like
>before:2007 politics
To be fair, politics was mostly shitting on bush and the iraq war. I don't think "politics" would yield anything regardless because it wasn't the go-to term for political events on the net at the time. Try specific things like politician names or world events.

I fricking HATE Youtube
it wasn't uploaded in full till 2016 but I remember watching zalgradis's pvp3 on google video which existed before they bought youtube
>no documentaries
>no shilling
>no bullshit
>just a lot of fricking dance and music videos
god it really was more innocent
For some reason whenever I search for videos from old YouTube I just end up with Slayers AMVs, so have one that's vaguely related to videogames. This was also like the first video I saw on YouTube
RIP to all the videos in the Machinima purge.
aww frick anyone got these backed up?
Benbuja reuploaded them, but some have changed or muted music. More specifically his old stunt vids, which I think were reuploaded by others. I've also found scattered ones like his Uncharted 2 video on weird backwater foreign sites.
How do I archive these?
if it is still available?
learn to use these tools
https://youtube-dl.org/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wget
if it is lost to the sands of time?
archive.org
remember three copies, the active, the backup and the backup's backup stored offsite
tonights the night i stop being a brainlet and learn how to into youtube-dl, thanks anon
good man the command line is god
first use yt-dlp if youtube-dl can't get past the age gate on a video as they use different methods and yt-dlp is updated more frequently
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
second youtube-dl works on a lot more than youtube
third read this https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#description
almost every command is applicable to both forks
in future look into gallery-dl (command line) or https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/ (for a graphical user interface)
if I overloaded you with bullshit just remember it is very easy to get the best quality with default settings
it'll be a bit different on windows you'll need to "cd" change directory to where you put youtube-dl.exe but it should look more or less like this
good shit, thanks for the spoonfeed
Not that guy, but thanks for these. Gonna start my personal archive. Thanks, anon.
>>Type in name of old video game and add "before:2007" to search

holy fricking kino
Seems to be the oldest Resident Evil video on Youtube, uploaded Oct 13 2005.
"pokemon" if that wasn't obvious enough.
Man hardly any of the fake brawl trailers survived. I remember these two vividly with the opening of Sonic 06 synched up incredibly to the Alternate Route remix, and another one with a metal Kirby theme off newgrounds/ocremix.
Anyone else remember the time when every other video on Youtube was a screamer?
frick, this thread is making me feel like absolute shit.
why must everything feel so plastic these days? nothing has any soul. even offline, people can't help but to constantly jerk off their own egos.
I know some of you zoomers are having trouble understanding what we're talking about, but it really WAS much better back then. even if some of us in our late 20s aren't much older than you, we literally made some sort of cut off. the generational division is so apparent.
life was so much more calm back then. literally nobody who was considered half sane was shoehorning their so-called political ideologies as their identity.
the past 9 or so years especially, people have become so much more tense and irritable. most people can't go beyond surface level conversation.
social media and smartphones were a big part of this decline, like many anons have mentioned, but holy frick, shit is so much more worse than that, and everyone is numb. it's not healthy for six out of every ten odd girls to be making only fans the second they turn 18. it's ruining them. it's not healthy for so many people to be striving for an unobtainable perfection based lifestyle on the illusions they see people supposably living on these social media sites. and this rampant life hating nihilism and lust for irony brought to the extreme is only going to dig the hole even deeper.
people don't even look at each other are real anymore.
>life was so much more calm back then. literally nobody who was considered half sane was shoehorning their so-called political ideologies
They were, you just didn't notice when games like Halo and CoD did it.
I kind of wish I knew if there was a modern equivalent of flash. Can't bring back the old days, but maybe try and help things suck less.
Society has always been in decline, the masses were just too fricking blind and moronic to see it. I'll take internet information gore direct to my eyeball then fake CNN WMDs and gas attacks any fricking day. Go ahead an reminisce about the time you were 12 years old, pretend that it was so much better too. It wasn't and you will never ever ever ever ever admit the real issue is the decline of the American Empire and not the popularization of the internet.
>zoomers replying miss the point
Don't bother anon, just be happy you got to live it.

does it sting for anyone else when they see these old videos and realize that 2006 really was that long ago? iirc dvds only became common around 2000 and quite a lot of people still used vcrs. internet penetration wasn't all that great yet. dedicated camera devices were much better than what you could record on phones.
whenever i realize that 16 years went by in the blink of an eye it feels like i'm losing my breath.

Soul
I don't understand threads like these where people let nostalgia rule in their minds and can't look forward to the future.
It's going to be alright.
Most here don't have a future to look forward to.
That's because they haven't tried. People have to let go of halcyon days. It's ruining them. I have faith even the most destitute anon can still make something of themselves.
>The past is fun to reflect on
Yeah? What's fun about it? You really think you could live out those memories for the rest of your life? If you had the chance to go back to those "better days" it wouldn't leave the same impression on you. And before you go
>frick you homosexual
you know I'm right because you're not the same as you were before.
Archetypical zoomer mindset. You didn't live during the infancy of the internet and have no clue how much superior it truly was.
Wrong. I had NetZero dial-up internet at home or I had to bike to the local library to play flash games. I've participated in forums and I've been around for the cultural boom of MySpace. I remember things like Halolz and I remember how YouTube used to let you customize your profile with a background and it's old look. I remember using my flip phone by setting it on a chair and then recording my shitty gameplay of Guitar Hero. I remember participating in smashboards when it was called smash world forums. I remember scorehero. I remember signing up to niconicodouga because carmalladansen or levan polka. I even remember when I first came across this website and how somehow I am still fricking here.
I've spent most of my life on the internet. I couldn't have expected the rest of the world to catch up but maybe some of you feel bitter towards it. Like the internet was something YOU discovered and then people came and ruined it.
nice larp
Not a larp. You could probably ask me something about "old internet" and I could give an answer. You know those wannabe machinima mario 64 channels? Where they used Sony Vegas and mario recolors? Yeah I tried to make one of those and was actually friends with some of the creators.
No and that's the point I'm trying to make. All this shit I'm talking about are just memories. It's not healthy and it's escapism. I'm pretty much just musing about garbage.
>sony vegas
>not windows movie maker
It didn't get "big" until Sony Vegas. Movie Maker was pleb tier. You needed to have lens flare to be taken seriously
Ok give me something cool then.
>I've spent most of my lifevon the internet.
Is this something to be proud of?
Just get to the part where you shill your cryptowhatever, that checklist text wall is too disgenuine
Crypto is fricking stupid.
>I have faith even the most destitute anon can still make something of themselves.
And yet here you are
>you know I'm right because you're not the same as you were before.
Don't remind me
you really are an autist, jesus christ
having a quick laugh or convo about things that happened in the past is not equivalent to trying to relive it every single day like some sad boomer still obsessed about their high school days
>If you had the chance to go back to those "better days" it wouldn't leave the same impression on you
uh no shit moron? the reason people reflect on anything at all is to revisit that context with a fresher mind
Nothing in this thread says anything about "Fresher Mind" It all cope about the internet isntvwhat it use to be. Which in turn is a bigger cope about getting older.
the present is shit and the future will be boring, the past is fun to reflect on. it's not a high or difficult concept you autistic tard.
The past was good, the present is coping with all the horrific shit that happened and will happen, the future only gets worse.
I wish I shared your optimism.
I wish I still had my own videos but I deleted the channel at some point for some reason and lost the original files in a careless HDD wipe when I forgot to back up a video folder.
Reading this thread has made me deeply saddened. I wish I didn't open it.
Welcome to 2022, otherwise known as HELL
Enjoy your permanent stay.
I wish.
Next year it's gonna be 2023 and the copypasted internet arguements will have drowned out the the last topical discussion on this site.
CHILDREN OF THE BUILDS ARISE
kinda off topic but does anyone remember the guy who did a playthrough of pokemon black and white but hilda was voice acted?
So many random youtube videos lost to time and the endless war on the average enjoyer. I have some on a hard drive that don't exist anymore, but even trying some of those archive links don't work.
This is what passed for comedy back then.
I remember a fricking old yt video of the 9/11 jumps, back before youtube cracked down on the videos. It had death metal playing full volume, and the comments were just endless salt. I miss when troll channels were a thing.
>Duck Cheney and the American gov did it. I bet they took Pakistan and Sauds help

I should go replay Xenosaga.
I've never seen this game before but that's some surprisingly good voice acting given the era.
There's something oddly depressing about coming across vlogs of people just fooling around with friends/family.
Then you check out their channel - they've only got a few other videos of the same style. Then... that's it, they're gone. Dead? Living large?
It's like the boltzmann brains on the internet. Just random snapshots of someone's life years ago in the endless void of content.
Very good thread idea, anon
The man who made this video died two months ago at the age of 53.
>Sometimes go over ancient Youtube favorites folder
>Long stretches of it are like graveyards of dead links
Saddest are the ones whose titles aren't actually enough for me to remember what they were, that I click on out of curiosity before my disappointment.
Man I wish I'd started habitually backing up online media way earlier.
What's the best way to back up online media? I've been downloading videos from Youtube using Yt-dlp.
I just use an addon for Chrome that adds a 'make me an MP4 of this' button to the video options.
Name?
It's got an unhelpfully generic name, google it and it'll probably be the most popular one, but I had to install another one called Crosspilot to make it work
Use this and every time a video gets deleted you'll get the title https://www.recovermy.video/
Huh, old reveals even had more soul than today
Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmOg41l7EMI
What I miss are the unique websites that used to exist back then, people had websites with little games they made or just little oddities. Now everything is relegated to a handful of big sites and most of the unique and weird ones are gone now. Plus it's impossible to search anything with google nowadays.
Fricked up the link
