Vidya communities aren't what they used to be

When I'm on here it legitimately feels like 80% of the people I'm talking to are low IQ schizos or bots, with a minority of semi articulate but malevolent retards who get a dopamine kick out of mocking any genuine passion or interest in videogames or their stories. It just feels so inorganic and dead, like online communities have been gutted and filled with jaded blase people and numbskulls, and in their place are artificially promoted influencers with botted views and likes no different to mainstream television.

15 years ago, online forums pulsed with life. You had discussions about videogames that went incredibly in depth, leading to famous effort posts like the BioWare forum user who used his xenobiology knowledge to calculate the pheromones present in Quarrian sweat and what Tali would smell like naked, or the infamous chad who came up with the Squall is Dead theory. There was so much passion and joy for everything videogames, from the game mechanics to the lore to the story, and people would talk about them for days, but in that cultures place now is just sort of stupidity and apathy. I go on Vidya forums and they're filled with cynicism for videogames themselves. Barely anyone cares to discuss lore beyond a paragraph, barely anyone is interested in unique mechanics, it's just FOMO, hollow marketing, porn and cynicism.

15 years ago

get a load of this unc

not vidya

You are the cancer

Good thread is going to be ignored because every normalfag is flocking to new AAA slop trailer

Sad.

Anyways I think the main issue is people are either afraid to or don't know how to articulate things beyond a couple of sentences. I'm a member of a few contemporary gaming forums and the zoomzooms who join always type like they're on Twitter. The only time you see effortposts is when some autist is having a meltdown.

Sharty is far more like the old internet than here. It's basically pre 2015 Anon Babble

Tpbp. I don't even care if you're right, I'm not reading this shit because you are objectively the cancer killing vidya communities. I am so sick of post-irony low-effort jak trash.

lmao no it fucking isn't
last time i was looking at the sharty it was just full with mentally ill people gathering around one fucking silly face

boomers always screech they want their safe space back lmao get on with the times grandpa and stop playing vidya you're too old for it just pay taxes and die from diabetes or whatever you oldfags do

Video game industry blew up, the marker is literally orders of magnitude bigger than it was 15 years ago, this brought with it;

- Predatory financiers who psychologically abuse the customer base to wring out every possible dollar, this turns the average consumer saltier than before
- influx of normies who want more vidya to be brainless time wasters like reality shows instead of engaging and deep
- flood of money into marketing companies and divisions in turn flood the social spaces with dishonesty and shills, they bought out all of the hobby journalists and not too long after YouTube and streaming became a thing they bought them out too.
- The social spaces are also flooded with actual legitimate shills, they in turn trigger both accurate noticers and schizoids, who then trigger gullible people into defending shills, boosting the effectiveness of the marketers, who then trigger more noticers + schizoids and it locks into a vicious cycle that ruins the spaces for people who just want to talk about their hobby earnestly, Anon Babble is a huge example of this because it's easy to shill behind anonimity but you also see it in places like Reddit where they just abuse the updoot dopamine triggers and herd mentality.

I've been enjoying vidya since the 90s and have been on Anon Babble for well over a decade now and the older I get the more I come to terms with the fact that it simply won't be like how it used to be, you're far better off playing single player games and ignoring the "fanbase", if you really want to talk about it and you don't have friends who are interested then you are literally better off finding a discord specific to your niche interest and then finding the small amount of people who arent deranged trannors to make an offshoot private chat.

Morrowind is simply the best one hands down. It's not our generation. If you can't into it your IQ is simply lukewarm.
I read no other posts in this thread

Anon,
I'm sorry to say that this husk isn't what it used to be. Anon Babble failed to gatekeep and lost its cult following over time with cultural shifts that the website failed to be mindful of.
The transfer from Moot to Gookmoot, Gamergate, the 2016 Presidential election, the closing of spicy reddit boards, and the stratification of the internet communities moving towards chatrooms like discord all contributed towards the downfall of Anon Babble.
Look bud, the past isn't important, and it's not too late to change.
Just start posting, with sincerity, bring your genuine unabashed thoughts to the table. You're anonymous, it doesn't matter if you're wrong, retarded, or both. That's what I do.
I'll never stop, and I'll never leave this place, I've been here nearly two decades now, it's just a part of me.
Have a good day and play some vidya anon.

You're right. This isn't what game communities used to be. Go away.

morrowindfags were zoomers all this time

it all makes sense now

sure thing buddy
post a frog or something you rebel

This is fucking insulting. I hate newfags so much its unreal

Did you know that old Anon Babble used to discard old memes once they became popular with the wider public?

I wanted to agree with your OP but you are an embarrassment.

I miss the trollface

brown thread

show me something of this OC you are talking of
and no paint drawings of wojaks isn't OC

Did you know that the amount of OC you produce on this board is fucking nothing, and has been nothing for years? Anon Babble used to have actual leakers who would drop stuff about games in development up until at least 2018. Now the wider public discusses Vidya news now before it's even mentioned here. All you offer is FOTM garbage and gachaslop. I'm glad I insulted you because your board culture is trash and deserves to be insulted

Anon Babble in particular has become entirely averse to any sort of self-expression. Conformity is strictly enforced, no one can be allowed to stand out. The only possible responses are ironic detachment and wojak or pepe edits, but people can never reveal anything personal or show that they care about something. This place has become allergic to authenticity.

you have to lurk moar

That's what happens when a userbase's average IQ levels decline

And, of course, the easy response is "why don't you express yourself how you like, then!"

I do. Guess how I'm received by this place.

lmao you need backpats from strangers online fucking snowflake ass faggot bitch?

2015

Anon Babble was already long dead by then, nothing good came out of that place since 2008.

Exhibit A, ladies and gentlemen

I couldn't care less about some edgy zoomer rattling off invective at me but you have to admit it doesn't exactly encourage or reward effort

You ever heard of the expression "pearls before swine"?

Social media, fomo, and normies ruined online gaming discussion as a whole. It has to be mentioned how Googles pay to play algorithm which only favors large websites also killed many independent gaming websites and small forums too. This is where the best discussion and most interesting threads were made. Many of these forums were tight nit from long time users interacting and discussing games they all loved. Nearly all of these forums and communities are gone now and now everyone just uses Facebook, twitter, and YouTube to discuss gaming, but now it’s not about passion for games. Now it’s all about click bait, engagement, hot takes, and cancerous edrama. Even this site is flooded to the max with these same types of braindead normie fags who just want to talk about the current it controversy or the current it game, but it’s not that they really talk about them as much as they just echo what they heard on twitter or YouTube. You also have a whole generation of people, Zoomers, who are mostly incapable of writing more that a single sentence or expressing a coherent thought online. There are a few good ones that actually have more than a room temp IQ, but for the most part the internet and poor education quality has made it impossible to have any genuine discussion with them online. Video game communities and discussion are truly in a dismal situation, but luckily there are a few places left where it’s still the way it used to be. Unfortunately Anon Babble is not really one of these places outside a few select posts, but you really have to scour through a lot of low quality shit posts to find them.

sharty is more Anon Babble than Anon Babble itself
they can also produce considerably more OC in a day than nu-Anon Babble does during an entire year, an amazing feat since it's mostly the same retarded faces regurgitated over and over yet still feels new
I was genuinely surprised when I visited there in the blackout
too bad their UI is shit and also I'm here forever

you ever heard of the expression "stop being a faggot"?

Yep and you make an effortpost and it just slides to archive whilst some contrarian bait of gacha ecchi thread hits bumplimit. Being surrounded by FOMO and retards is worse than being actively attacked

Hasn’t slid yet zoom zoom. Go goon over the new GTA trailer now.

You clearly don't grasp its meaning

already debunked
how?
the lack of OC that is posted

It's been that way for a good amount of time now OP. This place is pretty much the same as any other hellhole on the internet, just another cesspit of people stewing in their jaded cynicism, getting off at being angry at everything and constant irony filled remarks. It's like what Anon Babble was like in 2010 and onwards, but far worse, at least in those times you can still feel some love for games.
Even the old axiom of digging through the shit pile to find quality posts doesn't seem to apply anymore.

I'm going full Anon Babble but I think honestly a lot of the decline directly comes from low IQ and brown people getting access to the internet. The old internet was almost entirely White and Japanese/Korean people with family links to IT or nerd culture, and the minority of brown people who were online were not the low IQ ones. But smartphones and globohomo have massively increased the number of creatures that can participate with us in online spaces, both turd worlders and knucklehead westerners on the left side of the bell curve. You might think I'm just a racist schizo, and you know what, maybe I am, but we know from studies on intelligence and learning that smarter people are less hostile to foreign ideas and are more open to experience, even a mild increase in the brain of things like acetylcholine or BDNF has this effect on people. Low IQ people aren't just dumb, they're fucking dull, and they're usually more aggressive too esp. browns and their higher vasopressin and lower oxytocin. And they're making the entire internet dumb dull like them, and frothing at the mouths like Pitbulls at anyone who goes against the grain

Aint nobody readin this unc

I'm reminded of Sartre's characterisation of the anti-Semite: a coward who chooses mindless, unquestioning hate over reason because it allows him to escape moral responsibility and uncertainty; someone who cannot bear to stand out from the crowd because it confronts him with himself, and therefore chooses to become part of a hate movement, where, united in hatred, he can feel supported in his abandonment of good faith and feel superior to at least one thing in his life.

Honestly describes Anon Babble to a tee and that's without even taking into consideration that this place is, in fact, also literally anti-Semitic as fuck. Prolly no coincidence.

It's literally bots and turd worlders

Personally I think it was 60 million

ok rabbi but you're still not getting reparations

smarter people are less hostile to foreign ideas and are more open to experience

i.e. progressive
Anon Babble is precisely what got us in this mess

Redditors like you have been bitching about Anon Babble for a decade now because you have it in your heads that it's an evil chud empire and you don't know how to act on a site that doesn't ban everything you don't like.

The anti-Semite is just one example, an archetype if you will (one that happened to be prominent on Sartre's mind in 1945 for some reason). There are, of course, many ways to be a hateful bad faith coward who craves anonymity, and wouldn't you know it, Anon Babble facilitates them all.

Thread about the lack of passion in Vidya communities

Randomly brings up Jews for no reason

still not paying up though

they're filled with cynicism for videogames themselves

Obviously. Video games are shit.

Anon Babble is more open to ideas though. Reddit and Bluesky go out of their way to silence, cancel and censor wrongthink that conflicts with their utopian race-blind social ideologies, and breathe down creatives necks in shareholder meetings to put lame gay chicks in everything and subvert any traditional social values or idiosyncrasies with turbomongrel Cali Starbucks swinger culture

Thr goyim are forgetting the holobunga we need to remind them

evil chud empire

I'm not even talking about your moral values here. I'm talking about, well, essentially this: It is your utter aversion to new experiences, your insistence on conformity, your fearful avoidance of ever standing out which ruined this place.

Which part of it is inaccurate? Again: this is just about the archetype of a hateful bad faith anonymous coward who insist on conformity, which absolutely applies to Anon Babble, and is supremely relevant to the topic. That many of you are additionally also actually anti-Semitic is incidental to the point but probably goes to show that Sartre was onto something. And the flood of anti-Semitic replies in response when that wasn't even the actual point really seems to prove my point. You have abandoned reason for hate, and you have abandoned genuine expression for fearful conformity.

Sharty is nothing like the old internet and the only way you could ever make such a wildly ridiculous claim like that is if you weren't even on the Internet until smart phones got popular

I'm not saying it didn't happen but 6 milion? Really?

For fuck's sake you are not a freethinker for embracing hate, that's the whole point. You are not "open to ideas"; your minds are so closed you don't even need to ban anyone because nothing can penetrate your shield of wilful ignorance. What you call censorship is, more often than not, merely rejecting your obious bad faith.

I agree, open borders for Israel

My brother in Christ you're deepthroating a basedjack factory half of us checked that place out you can't bullshit us

It's quite funny that you are literally resorting to anti-Semitism to avoid having to rationally think about anything or be confronted with yourself right now

There shouldn't even be an Israel

stop using Anon Babble and look for a general on Anon Babble, the more niche the game is the better the result. If you unironically came to Anon Babble (the porn and politics board) for an actual vidya discussion then that's on you for being retarded

Ok but rationally why was there a maternity ward safely delivering babies in a "death camp"?

Baby skin is particularly soft which makes it the ideal material for lampshades, the stem cells were used for supersoldier research and the rest was used for soaps, oils, etc

what's 2+2?

you can't say 4, give me a real answer

I don't know why you're going on about willful ignorance even lefties have caught on to your bullshit. You can't gaslight anyone here after the leaks

Yea, if you mean its cringe, sure.

I am referring to a philosopher from the 40s who drew a link between mindless hatred, and conformity and fear of expressing oneself, which is relevant to Anon Babble. I have absolutely no idea what you're alluding to and I'm not interested.

I assure you my hatred is very informed

It's informed by your moral cowardice and bad faith, yes

Israelis also use slave labor to mine diamonds in Africa (it's their largest export) and then have American Jews make movies criticizing White people for it

you're jewish

Look I can't help it that Sartre's go-to example happened to be the archetypal anti-Semite but I was hoping you could look past that and address the actual point. You all didn't have to go and prove him right with such fervour.

Sartre did also say, if the Jew did not exist, the anti-Semite would have to invent him. You're proving me more and more right with every post.

I resemble that remark.

NTA. You're not as smart as you think you are, and that is coming from a fencesitter.

No, I know it's not, because you are, as we've established, incredibly closed off to new ideas, and that is why you are in fact the cause of Anon Babble's downfall and also why you will never acknowledge it. If there is anyone here able to rationally consider this, I've yet to see them in this thread.

Litterally every person that talks like this has a fucking catacomb of skeletons in their closet

You don't have to narrate your own posts

With 5 minutes of research

Pic shows chimney in background

In 1944, the chimney and furnaces were dismantled because the building was to be converted into an air raid shelter for SS personnel

In the second half of 1947, during the setting up of the museum, some former prisoners decided to reassemble the furnaces from surviving metal elements and rebuild the chimney from what was left of its foundations

But I doubt you believe any of this

Your explanation doesn't add up and your "research" is clearly jewish propaganda after the fact.

Its more substantive than "look at these two pictures with dates added to it.

Unironically a truth nuke. I never even use the sharty, but I see far more sharty memes in other internet circles than anything this place has produced in almost a decade. Anon Babble has lost almost all cultural relevancy due to its infestation of bots, turd worlders, and normalfags.

why the fuck would anyone go back to a death camp to rebuild it? People come nowhere near jails their did their time in but a hellish industrialized murder drew them back? No trauma or anything? They decided it should look pristine?

Your "research" is clearly just declaring everything to be "clearly Jewish propaganda"

You see anon, Anon Babble is a terrible representation of a video game community. It has no gatekeeping, no filters to weed out those who don't care about video games, no coherent purpose, no main topic. There's no specific game for you to care about, and because who you are doesn't follow you, a community can't really exist outside of a collective 'You People', leaving bad actors and retards to worsen conversation for everyone.
Just find better places than Anon Babble.

It says right there, they were setting up the museum

It said "to set up the museum". Doesn't sound too farfetched that some would want to rebuild it to show what it was.
Look, I have no hard feelings either way on how accurate the HC reporting is. But posting a single pic like that and declaring it as proof is just silly

See It doesn't add up anon. It's irrational and illogical for them to rebuild it for the sake of "preservation". It would make more sense to suspect a more malicious angle.

It is all bots or bot-like humans, making the same posts over and over. Coom threads are also bots by the way, there's mainly just one autist per thread that posts like a bot, and a bunch of bots cloaked by his posting style. AI threads are astro turfs from microsoft, who actively shills here on every board. Half the posts on the whole site are literally from Israel at this point lmao. You are often just engaging with tel aviv speds, if not bots.
Mods host discords to steer generals and discussion how they want, especially on Anon Babble. Effort posting is completely wasted here and probably scraped. Move on. Go to literally any alt-chan besides the 'jak and you will instantly notice the difference. Even the shitpost ones are more genuine than this literal digital hell.
holohoax exists to cover up actual slave labor done by goebbels running the SS like a mafioso, sharing profits with western nations and governments and jews(!), much of the money going to found israel. every major umbrella corp around today was a part of this club that profiteered off of the war. kill the jailers and stop hassling your fellow inmates. clue in already, if you aren't a bot.

It doesn't get any better.

well i'll be

my family died here, I will help to build a museum

what kind of fucking logic is that, read about how people reacted during rwandan, armenian, greek genocides or yugoslaw attrocities they weren't fucking restoring the places of their torment

K. I'll see you in the new when the police raid your computer for 20 terrabytes of child porn mister open book

jej soilennial oldfags seething so fucking hard at this one. give us another paragraph about how Anon Babble was only ironically racist and how everyone totally supported trans folx back then gramps, we'll surely take you seriously this time

low IQ and brown people getting access to the internet

I mean...

this applies to more than just antisemites but yeah

Incredulity is not an argument

Screen capping for posterity

I can see it now

Alternate timelime

They didn't want to remember the tragedies

They tear down everything

Build a memorial

Conspiracy theorists: Why did they tear it down? Were they hiding something?! It doesn't add up

Damn, conservatives really do project all the time

The weirdness surrounding a lot of the immediate post-war Jewish actions is mostly because the Holocaust narrative hasn't been invented yet. They knew they needed to capitalize on it somehow, but the exact story hadn't been constructed yet. They needed to create "evidence" first, and then find a way to use it later. You can see this most clearly with some of the early stories like human lampshades that they tried to push but then abandoned when it raised a few too many eyebrows.

a general on Anon Babble

Really bad advice. Absolutely every general I've been in at some point turns into a circle jerk of a few easily identifiable retards even if they're not namefagging. In the absolute worst generals it's a bunch of faggot ERPers using it as an extension of their gay discord roleplay.

this applies to more than just antisemites

That was exactly my point, finally someone gets it

Couldn't possibly be that myths spread in times of uncertainty but that later research has refined our understanding

stupid strawman considering the genocides I mentioned are known facts without making weird restoration projects

That feels too early to me. I enjoyed the newfag era from 2008-2011.

Love that this guy almost gets it when he says the problem is hostility to new ideas and lack of openness to experience, and then goes on to say Anon Babble is right and the problem is brown people. As if the majority of posts in this place isn't made by white Americans. As if the rise of Anon Babble doesn't correspond exactly with the rise of hostility to foreign ideas. As if openness to experiences isn't literally a progressive trait that Anon Babble vehemently opposes.
And then completely misses the point by stating Anon Babble is open to ideas because of its moderation team, as if that has any bearing on how likely you are to rationally consider new ideas.

How did a "myth" with literally zero physical evidence make it all the way into official historical records and literature? That should be a bit concerning for you if you believe the other parts, no?

Which official historical record? And no, it shouldn't concern me that hearsay from unreliable eyewitness accounts was removed from any official record which may have contained it after additional research, because that indicates that our current understanding is much more fact-based and refined. Which should concern you because it means that 6 million is more accurate and factual than the lower early estimates.

I'm libertarian fucknuts

Hostility to new ideas is not what sucks about discussion here, it’s that there’s autistic people who start shitting everywhere and spamming+samefagging to prevent discussion of certain games.

Litterally clear as day proof Israel spams this place the leaks proved it bro you can't bullshit anyone

lol yeah figures

so conservative but you like weed and 14-year-olds (but we had already established the latter through your projection)

lie about 3 things

get called out on the most obviously bullshit one

"Well actually now you can be more sure that the other 2 are true!"

It just feels so inorganic and dead, like online communities have been gutted and filled with jaded blase people and numbskulls

It comes as a shock to you that gamers are jaded and fed up with the current state of gaming?

Yes, that's because mindless hate is directly opposed to openness to experience and embracing new ideas. Can't have people enjoying a video game!

It wasn't "holocaust skeptics" who disproved anything. It was legitimate holocaust scholars. The same people who say there were no lampshades are the ones saying 6 million.

Its a lie because I don't believe it

The soap and lampshades stuff was in all the history books for quite a long time before being dropped. It was "official" insofar as you'd have been thrown in prison for denying it in Germany

I've no interest in defending Israel at all, but I do doubt that mossad is responsible for OC being replaced by frogposting

that was 10 years ago, gramps.

2023

Zoomer invasion

I first heard about Anon Babble in 2006 and started posting in 2010

The image you're referring to was proven fake literally day 1. Listen, the holohoax is fake but have a bit of a higher proof standard.

Well you made me google it and the nazis did, in fact, make one human skin lampshade, which is probably what gave rise to the myth that this was a widespread phenomenon. lol I shouldn't have just assumed you were telling the truth about even the "official" version

y-you smoke weed!!! Projectors!!

Lol mister open book everybody

Ouch. Nope, out of their own hubris drinking their own koolaid, it was tested and determined to be bovine, which was the deciding factor in dropping it. Before that it was proven fact though

Proofs?

Isn't it funny that even just the statement that Anon Babble is full of anti-Semites will have people stumbling over themselves to prove it

It wasn't even part of the leak. Twitterfags just pretended like it was.

The worst part about those types of oldfag LARPs is that the evidence is completely cherrypicked. Nigger hate threads were almost as old as the site itself.

No, it wasn't. Perhaps you are thinking of a different one. Or just lying, I suppose. Holocaust deniers don't exactly shy away from that.

Don't sign your posts

So this thread was really an thinly veiled push by a Jew. No wonder your kind aren't welcome here.

Wrong

The results seemed to show that the lamp was indeed made of human skin; however, subsequent testing demonstrated that it was actually made of cowhide and that sample conta

thread lamenting the overall decrease in global internet quality

hours of newfags spamming their epic reddit ad homs and non-sequiturs to "own those dirty Anons!!!"

every time
it's all so tiresome

OP here, these posts legitimately brought tears to my eyes. It's just so awful, watching the old internet slowly get devoured enshittified and banned out of existence, to the point where people don't even realise it existed. I was underage back then but phpbb Vidya and anime forums were where I f*cking lived. Modern internet just feels like an antisocial dead internet theory wasteland by comparison, where I engage with nobody beyond a flat earther in a comment section and am bombarded with artificially promoted drama videos and influencers with millions of views trying to tell me to consoom new product and support their donors political views, and whilst there are still more niche communities, they're ALWAYS linked with some bizzaro sexual crap where you have to performatively bemoan being a privileged huwhite male or conform to these sovietesque LGBT hardliner values. Soulless hellscape.

Assume everything is a Jewish plot

Holy shit, everything is a Jewish plot!

Amazing thought process on display there

Care to show your source?

due to its infestation of (...) turd worlders

Boy do I have news for you about sharty

hours of newfags spamming their epic reddit ad homs and non-sequiturs to "own those dirty Anons!!!"

Which thread are you in? It's actually hours of spamming epic Anon Babble memes to own those dirty Jews. Once again, if you want to know who to blame for the decline in quality of Anon Babble, maybe you ought to look inwards.

You aren't fooling anyone jew

Everyone on the internet used to be a white man, now it's full of women mexicans and indians

lmao look at this retard attempting to deflect when he's been cornered

I should know better than to bring up these long debunked hoaxes that no historians maintain because you people are so hilariously gullible you just start believing it's real out of contrarianism

Anon Babblerape

sounds based

And yet it's the spaces that are the most anxiously gatekept by white men that exhibit this problem the worst.

I literally just googled it and found a wikipedia article. Now, what is your source and which lamp are you talking about? There is apparently one that is acknowledged as genuine, so if you are talking about literally any other, it doesn't matter.

This isn't contrarianism, it's appropriate scepticism. You're the contrarian, going against academic and scientific consensus.

it became too late to gatekeep by then. they welcomed them in with open arms with hopes that they would learn and assimilate with the existing culture. sadly, niggers and other browns are nothing more than parasites, only coming to chimp out like the animals they are
much like the good quote says "evil cannot create, it can only corrupt and destroy"

Which, come to think of it, is why Anon Babble complains about it all the time. If every place you visit is a boring hellscape of NPCs, maybe you're the problem lol

blog post

who gives a shit

There's no scientific proof of basically any aspect of the death camps. One guy tried testing the walls for cyanide residue, got negative results, and then got absolutely hammered by Jewish lawfaire and nobody is allowed to test any of it.

You people keep pointing to these alleged foreign hordes that overran Anon Babble but it's blatantly obvious that most of the discussion here is between people who speak Englsh as their first language

2016+ newfagbabble

sasuga

The holocaust is the best document event in history, and contrary to your claim, research into the death camps is definitely allowed. But for obvious reasons, they don't let anti-Semites with obvious agendas trash historical sites for the sake of poorly conducted experiments which have already been done by objective parties using better equipment.

Every single aspect that you question of the Holocaust has an accepted explanation. You just pretend it's still an open question because you're a kook who hates Jews.

You're off by ten years but do tell me what part of that is supposed to be "newfagbabble".

Fucking Jew bot post holy shit

You're talking about a board where the mods leave ragebait alone and delete actual gaming threads. Of course it's bad for discussions

You people handwave everything you don't want to think about as Jew bot posts

Sartre was right

If you are referring to the Leuchter report. It wasn't negative results. He found that there were far fewer compounds of hydrogen cyanide in the walls of the gas chambers than on the disinfection chamber walls. People say this finding leads to a false conclusion due to the gas chambers not running 24-7 like the disinfectant chambers were and the fact the disinfectant chambers werein intact buildings while the gas chambers were exposed to weather due to it being in ruin.

why the hell can these retard complain abour communities and the board, but when i do it (slightly more melodramatically) i get banned? shit board. havent even been able to bring myself to browse Anon Babble for more than 30 minutes ever since Anon Babble went down and back up. it was the jolt i needed to get me out of the habit

Your post was just

It's true because they say it is

What else is there to even say

In truth forums have always been like this, it might be slightly worse now but there were always people that had no interest in holding discussions/trolling, and there was nothing you can around them. If anything there were just as many trolls back then as now, it's just nowadays it's literally a part of some communities.

Oh right. The chambers for disinfecting the people they were about to murder. Those essential chambers.

"They" being the entire scientific community, which in fact has answers for everything you say isn't true. And why do you say it isn't? Because... some idiot on the internet said it isn't?

The scientific community that has proven time and again to be full of lies, made to push their own selfish interests. I would not put any stock in what they have to say especially after chinkflu.

I do wonder why scientists aren't exactly chomping at the bit to ruin their lives by presenting evidence that runs counter to the mainstream narrative

Not everyone who were being disinfected were murdered. Many were used for labor. And they didn't want disease to break out.

You realise that they used the camp inmates for slave labour and most were slowly worked to death rather than gassed immediately? This isn't even anything obscure, this is basic knowledge about the Holocaust.

The scientific community that has proven time and again to be full of lies, made to push their own selfish interests

Yeah? By whom? Oh, don't tell me... some idiot on the internet...
Right, there is in fact so much evidence but it's all hidden

Calling it B A S E Dbooru

Maybe you should leave

how do you gatekeep an anonymous site exactly?

Seems like prisoners dying of disease would be a good thing if you wanted to kill them all. I guess the Germans were just so evil that they needed to make sure every death happened in one extremely inconvenient and inefficient way.

Why would you want your labor force to get sick and die before doing the labor?

Why put them in the death camp instead of the existing labor camps?

Dude just trust me bro

Uh huh, so proofs?

Anon Babblespacedicks

??

Does that include the red cross who toured Aushwitz during the war and concluded it was a typical labor camp or do they not count?

Yeah those aren't the leaks dude

If you are referring to Auschwitz particularly, it had many sub camps. And they had forced labor there as well

Exactly. The image that keeps getting posted is a lazy edit of that site which wasn't part of the leaks

spacedicks was where edgy stuff was posted. An example is "the Starfish" vid of a dude who's dick was cut open to multiple flaps to look kind of like a starfish and he massages one of the strips and cums

Cope

Okay yeah they toured the entire camp and found no evidence of any operation to exterminate prisoners, but it's because they didn't enter the extermination section... or something...

go to sharty

it's just pictures of gigachad on a fly

that place is shit

Anon Babble used to be a great place for hobbyist underground discussion. We had a userbase with a vested deep interest in their hobbies and they didn't care about what other people think. You came to Anon Babble to escape the social credit system. Now it is very much just like any other modern social media. People care very much about what others think despite claiming otherwise. Threads are primarily about trendy topics and they only touch upon niche hobby topics to mock them for their lack of social value. We are the boring normalfags we used to come here to escape now. We are the Stacys and the Chads now, and we're going to uphold our awful TMZ-like gossip board and claim it's better than genuine discussion forums.

meta thread about addressing declining post quality

immediately derailed by hoLOLcaust posts

yep, it's bleak. if this isn't a coordinated attempt at keeping board quality low i don't know what is.

Anon Babble is extremely circlejerky and closed minded, I don't understand how you don't see this. everything that's not unquestining support for their vague white nationalist/maga/fascist ideology is just met with walls of spam. Like half the threads currently are about some woman calling someone a nigger, the average IQ of the board is seriously 80.

15 years ago

Dude what the fuck you’re so old man. Go back home to your family.

4540.jpg - 368x263, 20K

Not like whining about low post quality actually has any sort of theoretical benefit anyways. These threads are always just fake oldfags jerking each other off about the good ol days

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Take a look at any of the garbage sites and say with a straight face that Anon Babble is the same as those. At least here I can express whatever I want, you'd get banned anywhere else for stepping out of line.

I think it's just the natural consequence of Anon Babble's "asshole of the internet" reputation. We get a lot of newfags coming here to shitpost and be edgy faggots because they think that's what Anon Babble is for. Anon Babble is so much like a gossip board because these people think "I have Reddit for video game discussion, and I have Anon Babble for talking about who and indie dev had sex with"

Oh, fair enough. I was assuming it was all drawn alien porn or weird animal penises. Anyway, here's a bean weevil penis used in a highly lethal process known as traumatic insemination. Cheers.

it used to be that Anon Babble anons understand that lax moderation needs to be counterbalanced by self governance to not shit up your social space. Now this board is just a place for underage or the mentally ill to have the tantrum they'd be banned for in other platforms.

Friendly reminder that sharty's """captcha""" is them reading your ports to assign a mega IP to you. Nice datamining website.

this board sucked 15 years ago too
i remember being here in 2010 and people lamenting how over it was, Anon Babble is dead, newfags, eternal summer and the overall quality going down (which was true)
i'd say 2007 was the last gasp of the site

naw. There were offshoots like "spaceclop"
Which was what you might assume

Everyone who isn't an edgy teen or manchild has seen and commented on the shit quality of the board. We've all seen niche games get shut down by "buy and ad" or by dedicated schizos. We've all seen the thinly veiled political current events rage bait threads that get hundreds of replies in an instant. We've all seen new AAA game releases get threads flooding the board with simple questions like "How do I open this door???" and both the users and mods making zero effort to merge the topics.
Our lax moderation is not a good thing, especially when we have so many dedicated spammers and off-topic slop threads flooding the board. You've traded quality discussion in favor of being able to go into any thread you want and start calling everyone trannies for having a hobby.

No u

LOL mister open book moral arbiter everyone. Fuck off back to preddit where you belong

It would if the mods were at all willing to communicate with us

Uh yea, first the uneducated poor than the turd world got the internet and the consequences has never been the same.

Just taking note of that

Cool. Now present numbers right when the hacks happened not numbers that have been edited in the last 24 hours. We live in an age where we explorers have built in proxies

Anon Babble failed to gatekeep and lost its cult following over time with cultural shifts that the website failed to be mindful of.

Hard to gatekeep when this website because the launching hub of an American Election and brought on the most amount of traffic this place has ever seen.

This

It has to be mentioned how Googles pay to play algorithm which only favors large websites also killed many independent gaming websites and small forums too.

Blame the entire billionaire dollar industry that is SEO. There are corpos literally built around gaming google and AI made it easier. Marketing as a whole is killing the internet.

That's because a high portion of the population of Anon Babble now ARE bots.

We’ve all moved onto AI

It’s time to leave videogames behind anon

I blame spics, Anon Babblefags, brazillians, twitter and facebook for the sharp decline of this website. Everyone crying about Indians is delusional since Indians just congregate on the mainstream social media websites.

It was a surreal moment in 2016 to start seeing grey haired boomers at my store talk about Anon Babble and use Anon Babble memes irl. It was like watching a bunch of high schoolers who discovered Anon Babble for the first time.

This is hilarious, thanks for sharing. Fuck 2017 was bizarre.

Don't forget the SEApes
Every time you see a gachanigger or a Anon Babbleranny in the wild there's a high chance you're dealing with one of these "people"

Uhhh, it’s not lethal?

Lax moderation is a good thing. We would not even be discussing this if you were on something like reddit. All of your points are endemic to reddit too, the only difference is that if you do not fall in line, you get banned. Here, there is fucking free speech which is something you fail to understand.
Ever heard of that concept or are you too much of a brown third worlder to understand?

AI is the worst threat to the internet there is

Sharty is far more like the old internet than here

You're here instead of there because it's a slow shithole.

This is the most 101 IQ 20 yrold with 99 IQ parents post I’ve ever seen.
Nothing you said was wrong but it completely misses the piont and you are too stupid to see it.

There's a middle ground between Reset Era and total anarchy. I'm not asking for the board to be a heavily policed hug box, I'm asking for phoneposting zoomers to stop getting rewarded for making "What are some games where I can take over Greenland?" threads. Other boards on Anon Babble have self moderation and are able to gatekeep themselves enough to keep the topic about the hobby the board is supposed to be about. Anon Babble is daycare for socially inept retarded spammers by comparison. We don't need to be a sfw Anon Babble, just go to the real Anon Babble for your le epic funny meme posts.

What's pattern recognition?

Why, yes, we need 6 million more astroturfing campaigns based on ome and the same tired textbook and that get wrapped up with "2 million copies sold".

This but unironically.
More specifically, it's exactly like the flood of underage retards to Anon Babble who wanted to come to le notorious trolling site and do some frickin epic raids cuz we r anonimus!!!!! They'd repost memes that had been dead for years because those are the ones they read about on KYM, and with no desire to lurk before posting they have no idea what's still novel and what's been run so far into the ground it reached china. Anyone on sharty now would, a decade ago, instead be posting kahoot raid threads on Anon Babble begging people to troll "my- I mean MY LITTLE BROTHER'S school (totally an adult guys)" and poorly roleplaying as an oldfag based off of shit they read in screencap threads.

go eat a dick nyazsche

There are places to discuss things you like, and it isn't 4channel. Kill yourself.

Other boards on Anon Babble have self moderation and are able to gatekeep themselves enough to keep the topic about the hobby the board is supposed to be about.

This is a foreign concept to boards like Anon Babble, Anon Babble and Anon Babble.
If you go on Anon Babble and try to make a thread on American politics it will be deleted and get you banned.

Eventually you'll realize that marketing isn't trying to sell you shit games, but that shit games sell you marketing, i.e.: pad traffic and engagement -- they are little more than onboarding schemes to consultation rackets, e-grifting parasocialites and digitial daycare-botfarms.
The industry has been captured by PR gremlins. These PR gremlins cultivate an unsustainable economy of lies: they sell problems, rent out solutions (marginally smaller problems) and deceive everyone -- shareholders, developers, customers and players. They don't care about the quality or reception of the product, they don't care about what you believe, love or hate and they don't care to convince you of anything. The more controversy, the better for them.

Their final goal however is to distract and placate you, while high finance (read: their owners, banksters) turns your passions and lifetime into vacuous commodities.

be PR gremlins

gaslight publisher into whipping developers into frenzy to create super-slop

gobble up the majority of the "development" budget, recommend hiring nepotists

proliferate more slop to e-grifting parasocialites to fan the flames; hype a product you know will fail miserably, gaslight customers and shareholders with predatory marketing

reinvest a fraction of your hyper-bloated budget and buy copies through subsidaries and at a discount to gaslight everyone some more, after padding stats shortterm refund to ruin them longterm

simultaneousely shill for and against the product to maximize controversy and thus traffic, engagement and demand of your service and that of your buisness partners, such as consultation rackets

eventually come out of it being the sole profiteer, blaming everyone else

In other words: if you're a shareholder of a publisher or developer studio instead of an investor to a marketing agency, then you are a barely functional lobotomite.

I could understand anons having this sentiment after years of site use. After the down week and everyone going out to the rest of the internet to see what was out there it should be clear this isn’t the case. You’re all cunts, but you’re a breath of fresh air compared to the corporate, curated garbage that is otherwise out there. The only areas of the internet that still appear genuine are niche forums that have specific topic discussion. The tradeoff with those is that you’re expected to stay completely on topic and the scope of any post is very narrow.

Everywhere online is like that and its nu internet's fault. Every internet site wanted to maximize your time spent on it it for revenue And the second they found out, even if unintentionally, that keeping you angry and annoyed was the best way to do so is the exact moment the in internet fell.
We have generation so of new internet uses that think pointless ragebait bickering is the norm. Every social media site makes sure to show you shit that makes you mad. The whole idea of this apathetic ironic self hate of things where "it was cool to hate stuff" and tons of stupid internet drama turning them into jaded apathetic whiners. People are raised on this idea that what they call "discussion" is actually pointless bickering over flavor of the month topics. The internet has always had this sure but in the last 15 years it has gotten worse and worse and worse.
People honestly don't browse here or any other site for joy, but because of some bizarre stockholm syndrome where they're addicted to the discourse because they can't fight that urge to argue with people over nothing. Why do you think so many threads here are twitter screencaps or a variation of some rage bait line?
And so much of vidya is the same. There are honestly some Anon Babble threads that are 100% self hating posts, just endless complaining about the game to the point where the thread is only sustained by unironic hatred of the game that its about. Even the porn is become bizarre. Porn spam before was just horny losers bonding over a shared interest, and they still do, but now its filled with even more pointless self hate (NTR) or ragebaitshit (blacked). Even jerking off is now a topic of anger for no reason.

And its all because people THINK this is normal. People literally have no idea that the internet was once a place people wanted to go to out of joy, discussion and collaboration. People had fun, they weren't mad or coerced into some cynical loop of eternal seethe. And it'll never go back either

At least here I can express whatever I want

And we're all the worse off for it. Like another anon said this site has a moderation problem, the majority of them are not from the clay that made this site

Anon Babble has the advantage of their hobby still remaining in the "uncool nerd shit" category. Video games are mainstream as fuck now with pretty much no barrier to entry, so we're invaded 24/7 by socially outcast teens and bored adults who want to anonymously greif.

Its still the best in comparison to the others. The problem is people from those other terrible places come here trying to make it like the others and ruin the quality. Every now and again you see amazing threads here, and in every one of them is some backseat janny whining how its off topic because they can't stand people having fun here, because no where else on the net sill has this.

Implying the the jannies don't delete posts for stepping out of line

stop following fomo slop games then, that literally only ever happens in shit like danganronpa general and other such garbage actual 14 year olds and retards are attracted to

ban phone posters
ban israel/south asia/southeast asia/south america

This. I've seen plenty of on-topic niche video game threads get deleted because of one guy posting porn 100 posts in or because someone started hosting multiplayer lobbies and that apparently makes it a "general". It seems to happen more with anime themed games as there seems to be some unwritten rule that those are somehow off-topic.

2015

there was already pretty much nothing but gore, trap, and log threads during that time you absolute newfag.

Now allow me to anti-hope post and say that as time goes on, the proportion of clueless faggots who have never known shit about video games past the modern industry schlock that fills the perception of your average normalfag is only going to grow and it will only keep getting harder to talk about video games anywhere.

The Fire Emblem relay threads a couple months ago were fucking kino in their hayday, and jannies left them alone despite being a clear general. They got ruined eventually by samefagging schizos because no post IDs but they renewed a bit of hope in this site for me.

I definitely started to feel like I missed Anon Babble after a bit, but I wonder if that's just the social media addiction talking. After about a day the board was right back to it's usual off-topic shitpost spam and I was back to feeling just as frustrated as before the site went down. I suspect myself and others wouldn't need this website if we could find another community to belong to, but I think we're just too introverted to acclimate to a non-anonymous community. It's why it's so important that we improve the quality of the discussion and self moderation here because for many of us there will be no where else. Unfortunately I don't that's ever going to happen and things will only continue to get worse.

The mods just don't want to fix the site. ID's on every board or at least returning the IP count would instantly make things a lot better. Its impossible to try to make the site better when its owners are intentionally doing shit to make it worse for the user but better for them. There's no doubt hundreds of bots on this site and none of the moderators care.

2015 was unironically 10 years ago

I've been posting on this shithole for over 15 years

What the fuck is wrong with me

It’s funny when you see these people running damage control for themselves too
They’ve started making shitty ms paint comics about how calling out their attempts at thread manipulation ruins threads lol

to be honest it's confusing this thread hasn't been deleted already since meta threads are one of the only things that DO get consistently deleted(alongside literal gore and CP, shows you where the mods' priorities are)

Put this post on a frame and hang it somewhere.

ID's on every board or at least returning the IP count would instantly make things a lot better

I'm not so sure, since Anon Babble has a history of abusing shit like this to profile other users for more effective targeted trolling and schizo stalking. Though we do desperately need something to help with self moderation, so I think it's worth trying. The main thing I think Anon Babble needs in general is just more transparent moderation. We have no idea who the mods are or what their goals are for each community on Anon Babble. We don't know what problems on Anon Babble they discuss or what they plan to do to improve them. As far as we know this shithole could be what they want.

ID's on every board or at least returning the IP count would instantly make things a lot better.

You can manipulate both btw

Keep in mind this website was hacked using an almost 10 year old SQL vulnerability

Its not that it can't be manipulated, but that there are retards that are still so lazy that they don't even do that. Even when ID's where a thing you still see the occasional retard self reply and freak out when called out.
To be honest is it even possible to do any kind of unmanipulable ID stuff and still remain anonymous? Like its a 10 minute router reset at the very very worst right?

We have no idea who the mods are

The leaks were a nothing burger and everything highlighted by sharty was either already known or not all controversial. The part sharty thinks we were supposed to be mad about were mods being "cringe" for banning people that spammed nigger a million times. The leaked e-mails showed us nothing about what the moderation's goals are for the site and their plans to achieve them. If anything the lack of any sort of planning getting leaked has me suspect that our moderation has no foresight for the future of the website and is just sort of maintaining status quo perpetually.

Social media has been a fucking blight on internet culture, its destroyed online communities that took years to cultivate and everything is so advertiser friendly and sanitized now
It's a shame, but I guess it was inevitable, its why gatekeeping communities has become so important now

do you know any? I've been looking but I don't know, it's hard to find somewhere people actually want to discuss about vidya nowadays.

Skill issue. Unironically find a good discord server.

Bull fucking shit.

slop

Then again you're too new to know any better.

I think the best thing you can do today is find a few online friends who you can engage with privately. Outside of that, a decent discord or equivalent for a particular game you enjoy and play a lot of. Preferably one without a huge community, otherwise you get more of the same curated algorithm based social media slop. It's the natural direction everything takes as user volume increases too much for individuals to remain a notable presence. We're seeing this here too, as much of the catalog is now just FOTM topics and regurgitated algorithm slop from other social media. Also just be prepared for whatever community you find to eventually die.

ad hominem

enjoy making anything OTHER than videogame threads on Anon Babble faggot

this

Though we do desperately need something to help with self moderation, so I think it's worth trying.

Just bully people? I don't get the pointbof overcomplicating this or outsourcing it to others. It's just as retarded as DIY-hugbox filters.

We have been taking in niggers for 60 years now and been buttpounded by Jews for 80 years. Those ideas aren't new. It's been a while since a proper racewar. So long in fact it might be considered something new and fresh.
