Holy shit. It's ironic that Bethesda has kind of gone backwards in some regards. Keeping my expectations low for Skyrim on Ganker in 2010 was as new school as it gets.
I've heard way too many of these trannies talk about how awful it is living in a small rural town. If it's so easy to not be a hick why are they choosing to live there then?
Now that I think about it...I've never ever seen a hick, turn into a non hick. Theres been no "gay gene" found, why do we say people are born gay, but not born hicks? Theres about the same amount of evidence for both being innate.
Much of this criticism makes sense if you review the history of the N64 today. What I find strange is that he's talking as if the N64 was still in its infancy but he already knew about the N64DD?
N64DD was planned very early on, it just delayed a lot. It was supposed to come out far sooner. The GiTCY guy/George Wood, who did shittt reviews of games on some public access channel in the 90s, also mentions the N64DD in his Super Mario 64 review.
There's something endearing about this man's combination of innocence and autism. I'm starting to yearn for the days when everyone's biggest concern was the differences between the Playstation and N64.
It's been getting said since the first group of retards decided to create permeant settlements instead of living as their ancestors had for millions of generations.
The real question is: is this an og usenet user from before isps started offering access to it, or is he one of the guys who flooded in around 1993 and complaining about all the aolers using it in 1996?
Regardless of when he started posting, at the end of the day, it's almost an inevitability that an user or two will get fed up that the community they participated in got worse over time.

AI will be so advanced by then that they'll have Clippy the Windows Office Assistant etched in their retina by a neurolink nanotechworm they inject every year, and Clippy will tell them all there is to know about our jargon.
Back then everyone was dropping hard Rs so it was no big deal. The internet back then was nearly all middle class and upper class whites and asians. Some hispanics and blacks too but they were much much rarer. It was 99% white and asian and there were 0 poors.
It was everywhere online unless a site had strict moderation like GameFAQs but when playing games or browsing other forums you'd see it nonstop. It was legitimately used as much as chud is used on Ganker.

Yeah, online. Exactly because it wasn't acceptable in public. The internet was the amazing place where you could be an asshole without consequence.
how do we search these old usenet forums/groups?
I remember whne we first found out about them we were doing it but now all I see is the same screenshots over and over
>creepy men who find children sexually attractive and erotic buy Nintendo Gamecube merchandise to lure children in and rape them.
It's funny that even when they're talking about atrocities it seems more naive and light-hearted than modern things. I don't know if it's just me.
Because back then it was just someone shit talking on the internet. Now retards on the internet will actually make claims like that against you and will ruin your life because of it
The graphics-gameplay inverse correlation is real, and is in no small part why the pastime is so superficial today; and it's interesting to see it being cite nearly a quarter-century ago... A portent for the future that I myself recall making around that time, too.
PCs were expensive back then. The hardware was doubling in power almost every year. The hardware cost about as much as it does now but with lower average salaries (lower housing cost too, to be fair.) Keeping up with PC gaming was truly not for the masses.
This message hasn't changed at all after 30 years. Even the value attributed to PCs is the same as the one guys use today to say that the PS5 and Xbox X are more advantageous.
how come these threads is always screencaps of the lowest possible iq shitposts from 97-99 when usenet was already dying and getting replaced rather than when it was at its heyday with virtually no competition
>how come these threads is always screencaps of the lowest possible iq shitposts
That's the point. >rather than when it was at its heyday with virtually no competition
You try finding video game related stuff that old on google groups. I'm typing in keywords off the top of my head and having a difficult time finding any relevant groups.
I love to entertain that illusion that we're a bunch of oldfags discussing good old times but I know you guys are all probably 10 years younger than I am.
Scratch that, I'm almost 20 years older than Ganker. I don't think I want to spend my days yelling at kids anymore or complaining about a hobby that is for children. Where do I go?
it's kind of scary that comments actually got more intelligent over the years
botpost
I stand corrected
borring motha fucka
Some of these old as fuck forum posts have really clever quips and rebuttals. Ganker could take notes.
People save their good ones for twitter so they can attach their name to them.
>it's kind of scary that comments actually got more intelligent over the years
I see no evidence of this.

So what did they lie about with Morrowind? gays today like to act like it's flawless
Fucking on point holy shit

Todd Howard, telling porkies since 1998.
Holy shit. It's ironic that Bethesda has kind of gone backwards in some regards. Keeping my expectations low for Skyrim on Ganker in 2010 was as new school as it gets.
God I hate this gay
That gay was ahead of his time. Hopefully the aids got to him before he could see his dystopian wish become a reality.
I've heard way too many of these trannies talk about how awful it is living in a small rural town. If it's so easy to not be a hick why are they choosing to live there then?
>just...le move!
Underage or autist with no life experience
Well if you can move into a dress and the girls locker room you can figure out how to move into the city

Now that I think about it...I've never ever seen a hick, turn into a non hick. Theres been no "gay gene" found, why do we say people are born gay, but not born hicks? Theres about the same amount of evidence for both being innate.
>mkay?
>Brave Fencer is at least better then Zelda 64
Holy fucking based.
Best part? It's in rec.games.video.sega
Much of this criticism makes sense if you review the history of the N64 today. What I find strange is that he's talking as if the N64 was still in its infancy but he already knew about the N64DD?
I just find it hilarious that this is in rec.games.video.sega. Imagine Ganker threads where people argue that Dark Souls is a good game or not.
N64DD was planned very early on, it just delayed a lot. It was supposed to come out far sooner. The GiTCY guy/George Wood, who did shittt reviews of games on some public access channel in the 90s, also mentions the N64DD in his Super Mario 64 review.
120k pps should be enough for anyone
There's something endearing about this man's combination of innocence and autism. I'm starting to yearn for the days when everyone's biggest concern was the differences between the Playstation and N64.
if it was out why is he calling it zelda 64 and not oot?
Time is a fucking loop
If time were a loop, things would be stable instead of actively deteriorating. We are in a descending spiral, with each turn worse than the last.
That has probably been said before
Sure, but he phrased it better than me

Um I doubt he's dead
>1998 was 46 years ago
Man I don't get fucking retards who respond to bait. Fucking Bushkill wanderer, the point isn't to actually criticize you, it's to make you mad.
>newfags can't purple post
I mean when he's right he's right, SNES had the best games and N64 had the best 3D games.
>ff7 looks like a 3 year old girl created it
I'm an ff7 loving autist but that's hilarious
The more things change the more they stay the same.

hes not wrong
Why do all these have such terrible grammar? Lead poisoning?
Computers were new so they were still learning to type
There was no autocorrect back then.
This.
I would have spelled a LOT of words wrong if auto correct didn't exist
The argument that brave fencer musashi is better than OoT is at least one I would be willing to hear
Anyone know a good forum to go to so I'm not only on Ganker?
someone post that dunder mifflin guy or whatever his name was
It's Mifflin Devin
ah yeahh there's that based motherfucker posting hard Rs with his full legal name
Back then everyone was dropping hard Rs so it was no big deal. The internet back then was nearly all middle class and upper class whites and asians. Some hispanics and blacks too but they were much much rarer. It was 99% white and asian and there were 0 poors.
It was a big deal. You'd definitely be escorted out of the grocery store for talking like that.
It was everywhere online unless a site had strict moderation like GameFAQs but when playing games or browsing other forums you'd see it nonstop. It was legitimately used as much as chud is used on Ganker.

I would have to go back a long, long, long way and I don't care to

I bet this gay posts on this board and runs damage control for FFXVI while obsessively shitposting about TOTK.

He is not wrong.

haha look at this 25 years old boomer

Fun thread. I wonder what kind of games do these oldfags play if they still play at all? These people should be at least 40 now.
