Squilliam Compilation 2025 Anonymous 09/29/2025 (Mon) 23:49:29 Id: d85bae No. 1801433 [Reply] [Last]
TL;DR Need 55 more Squilliams to complete this video >What is this? It's been an 8chan tradition to make OC from a template based on Squilliam from the SpongeBob episode "Band Geeks". >What do? Download template, open in favorite drawing/editing software and go nuts. When you're done, post it here. (640x640 resolution pls) >How long do I have? To live? Dunno. E3 is dead so presumably you've an eternity to do this compilation, but I'd prefer it be done before 2026. >Can [board] on the webring participate? Sure. >What song are you going to use? David Glen Eisley - Sweet Victory (Dosko Bounce Remix) >Is there gonna be a mosaic? I'd prefer finishing one project at a time. My focus is on the video. >Are we never gonna see another compilation again? I dunno. >vidanon is back? No. I'm not the new editor who vanished. I'm the original editor and creator of the template if you remember who that is. I think the last one I did was in 2019. It's been over a year since your vidanon editor fell off the earth, yet you're still bringing up the Squilliam compilation during awards and expos. It's sad. So although I swore off doing any more of these I'll edit together another one.

In celebration of the second movie getting announced, and also the previous thread (>>1059987) being anchored and almost dead. What are you building? What mods are you running? What's your preferred resource pack? Will Mojang ever actually add something of worth to this godforsaken brick builder? Will this nightmare ever end? Also, reposting the OP from last time since it's a lot of useful information: >Frequently Asked Stupid Questions Q: I stopped playing months ago, what's new in Minecraft? A: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Version_history Q: What launcher should I use? A: PolyMC is the current flavor of multiMC fork. Q: How do I install mods? A: Download the Fabric or Forge modloaders, install for the version you want, and launch the game to generate the necessary files. then go through Curse's awful shitty search system until you find a mod you want, download it, and put it in your new mods folder in the minecraft directory. Check the mod's curse page for more specific installation requirements and dependencies. >Official stuff: * Website - http://minecraft.net

>>1874169 >into uselessness >an enchantment that instead of nuking your weapon durability it nukes your hunger bar Lower hunger cost is warranted, but you can't act like it breaking a solid tenth of a diamond/netherite spear's durability was any better. The effect was good, but the cost was shit and is now shit. Better option than either would be to give it a short cooldown and a small hunger cost like shields and horns. Or technically swords. >>1877939 You mentioned Vampirism, but I think Vampirism is the only mod that really has the Vampire Hunter "class" as a concept. But, pair that with a mod that adds silver weaponry (did Ice and Fire do this? I think it did) and adds traditional undead weaknesses (Mods like these do exist, certainly for 1.12.) and you could probably get something like what you want.

>You said something nice about Marathon? You're a marketer or Bungie employee!! Genuinely mind broken at this point. >>1876785 Obviously this is the honeymoon phase of the game but it has good atmosphere, shooting feels good, playing with good players and against good players is exciting. Voice comms and teamwork can really make or break a match. >>1877992 Yeah I saw they were using art by another artist but I couldn't give less of a shit. I do not care that Destiny players are angry because their game is no longer the focus. I do not care that this isn't like the original Marathon games. I'm taking the game now as it exist and for me it is fun. I'm more worried about them pushing the game into becoming yet another hero shooter which is where it's headed apparently. It does however seem to have an overarching story, or glimpses of it, with all the factions. What they really need to do is keep pushing for more teamwork-focused gameplay and systems, that's really where the whole fun of it is.

Can we have a Stalker thread? I've recently tried out what all the fuss around GAMMA is about and I must say it's quite a fun experience For people who don't know, it's a customizable modpack for Anomaly (a freeplay mod consiting all areas of the first 2 stalker games) and comes with its own updater and Mod organizer 2 config. You need the GAMMA launcher fiels wich can be downloaded from theri shitcord, but if you are a boomer like me who doesn't want to make an aacount you can just download this somewhat older build off mediafire and it will update itself upon lauch to the newest version. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/agyul0e6fbban/STALKER_GAMMA Then you need Anomaly itself which can be downlaoded here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/downloads Unpack both into their seperate folders and then point the MO2 from the gamma folder towards the Anomaly folder and from there it will be basically autopilot. I enjoyed the A-life in this and how the best parts of the original trilogy are expanded upon, specifically the hobo phase. Weapon and armor upgrades feel siginifcant but you can even start out with some decent gear since you get a few points to spend on a new game. I'd recommend tweaking the MCM settings to your liking though, stuff like dropped ammo amount and gear condition based on rank for example. I also didn't like the brown and colorless look of the default install, reinstalling the grass and weater mods gives several options like spring, summer, autumn, winter etc.

What happened to this franchise? It was once upon a time a very popular and beloved series. Did a zombie game really ruin their momentum? Or was it Hideo Kojima leaving? I have a lot of great memories playing these games and the only thing they released in the past 7 years are remasters. The remaster collection did great but I can't see why they couldn't make another solid (what a great joke lmao) game in the series for modern fans. If you ever played MGS1 on the Playstation 1, there was nothing like it. No doubt it catapulted the PS1 to levels it never would have done otherwise.

>>1878112 >This guy gets it. I glossed over a critical point though. The stories and scenarios in adventure games tended to be much more complex, even from a basic game like the original King's Quests, than most other game genres because of how they operated mechanically. Most puzzle solutions weren't handled by the baseline mechanics, but were scripted events with unique sprite animations. Whereas in most games you'd - say, have a jump button that works regardless of where you are in the game, in an adventure game a jump would likely be a scripted event. You could jump across a gap the developers intended you to jump across, but you couldn't - say, jump from a balcony. So long as the player stayed on the rails of the narrative, it allowed developers unmatched freedom to set up scenarios which played out automatically without the player's input beyond the initial prompt. I guess you could see those as some of the first forms of in-engine cutscenes - and they were the highlights of the game. Nobody was excited about being able to walk left and right around a screen and browse the inventory - they were excited to see what would happen if they figured out the puzzle. This is also what allowed comedy games to flourish in the Adventure game genre - where it fell flat in other games - because developers were able to tightly control scripted scenarios in order to get the timing necessary for good comedy right. You didn't have to worry about the player choosing to fuck off and trying to get outside of the map for a half hour between the setup and the punchline. Once the event was prompted, the game engine took control and played out the script the developers wanted from start to finish Modern cutscenes are basically the same thing - except triggered automatically, rather than by user-prompt, and showcase scenarios that either can't be done in-engine by the player, or to give the players a cinematic treat to spice up the playthrough, or both.
>>1877316 it's sadly how people treat the trendsetters. associate the long-term damage to the industry and also others making shitty games with the trendsetter in the 7th gen everyone hated COD due to other games being COD clones, even though COD itself was good until WaW same for Assassins Creed. people hate it because other franchises and even other genres started copying the open world slop elements of AC and even the AC franchise itself dragging on too fucking long with nothing new, even though the first 3 games were good. imagine this with other franchises. if video games copied OoT for 30 years straight and even Zelda games kept milking the OoT formula, people would've HATED OoT and would've marked it as "when gaming went to shit".

E-celeb faggotry containment thread Anonymous 07/14/2025 (Mon) 17:12:01 Id: 759d2a No. 1562147 [Reply] [Last]
We haven't had one of these thread in a while, so I thought it might be ok, to once again have one of those containment threads, this time about e-celebs, and maybe some v-tubers like Rev says desu and patrician_tv :^). Anything goes, as long as it's somewhat vidya related, from Asmongold to Synthethic Man. >But isn't the thread against the rules? Rule 9 says that it's ok, as long as it's all contained in one single thread. There was a recent thread about Synthethic Man that got deleted, but there was a topic that started to be formed, but I think the thread got deleted way before it managed to reach it's potential, that of e-celebs growing old. I dread to think someone starting as a gaming e-celeb in their late 20s and doing it up until their 50s or even 60s, just because they aren't popular enough to get enough money to retire early, but still profitable enough to keep the gift going. From my point of view either you manage to retire early like Pew Die Pie, become a complete cuck like James Rolfe, kill yourself like JewWario, flee from society like Game Dude, become a complete lol-cow like boogie, swallow the tranny pill like Cosmo, or manage to move on to something else. I guess you need a certain level of narcisim to want to become an e-celeb, so it's hard for me to comprehend why you would want to do this shit even in your 60s, but if you can't retire early, maybe you should just change the direction of your channel, even if risks alienating your fans, because otherwise you have to watch the e-celeb go through a middle life crisis, like what I think Synthethic Man is going through, and maybe Spoony when he did that drunken Twilight review. So... how are you enjoying your games in your 30? Personally I don't play as much as I did in my teens and tweenties, as I dabble in other activities, but I am still passionate about the industry, and I still play games from time to time. Anyway, I am waiting for patrician tv to finish his bike road trip so that he gets the footage for the Fallout 3/NV review and promised face reveal.

>>1690790 Here's my personal list of video game yotubers I watch, although some of them are very comedy-centric which might not be what you're looking for: >DungeonChill: Currently my favorite video game reviewer, while his early videos are kind of rough since they're a blatant copy of another youtuber Grimbeard, most of his videos are amazing doing a good overview of the games and their development history, knows Japanese so he can properly cover details that are usually not found on other English-speaking sites, some light emphasis on comedy >Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games: The channel is basically done but regardless it gives good insight and tips about game development and project management >Majuular: Does video game retrospectives, his ongoing series on Ultima is extremely in-depth and informative about the mechanics and development history >MandaloreGaming: Reviews the game properly telling you about their mechanics and enough of the story/setting to understand whether you'll want to play the games or not, basically set the standard of what a video game reviewer should be, has a light emphasis on comedy >Marsh: Mostly covers SMT games, but has branched into covering other Atlus games and obscure RPGmaker games, while not completely fluent he knows enough Japanese to properly cover these untranslated games or call out grievances about the translations, his videos really give the feel of seeing a friend play through a game and explaining his experience of the game, has some light emphasis on comedy but is pretty good at explaining mechanics and difficulty curves, sometimes goes in-depth about development history such as his last two videos >Basement Brothers: 3 brothers who know Japanese covering old Japanese PC games in detail because they're acquainted with the language, explaining their ports/remake differences and touching upon their development history, always do their best to cover the games on their original hardware >Grimbeard: Reviewer, while having an emphasis on comedy he's pretty great at explaining mechanics, development history and receptions at the time of release, almost all of his videos are entertaining and you usually feel he goes to great depth of investigation although he does comes off as faggot at times >Indigo Gaming: Has two issues in that he kind of sounds like he's reading a script and that a lot of his topics are stuff that other people have covered in-depth, however he's extremely informative, specially for his documentaries like the ones he did to explain the history of God Games or the one he made about Quintet, in general most of his videos are great despite the topics >Blue Bidya Gamer: Autistically covering every PS1 game ever made in alphabetical order, goes really in-depth on the development history and the inspirations for games making his videos really interesting. Problem is that he doesn't know Japanese so when it comes to reviewing the game themselves he's kinda bad at explaining them >SsethTzeentach: Focuses on comedy, covers the gameplay well enough that you'll know if you want to play them by watching his videos, often finds ways to break/exploit the games' mechanics >Cvit: Specializes in action games, goes really in-depth about the mechanics of every game he reviews but when it comes to other details such as development history or story he's really inconsistent unless it's a retrospective, however he has done very few retrospectives only focusing on Hitman and Yakuza, at the very least I feel that he covers enough with each video to know wether you'll want to play the game he covers yourself or not >Warlockracy: Focuses on strategy, CRPGs and mods about the two genres, he usually explores the political environment that led to the video games' settings which is an interesting POV, has an emphasis on comedy, covers the mechanics pretty well, his thumbnails are shit though >Civvie11: Focuses on shooters, really good at explaining the game feel and mechanics, can get a bit too intense at times due to being a Texan, has a focus on comedy >Reggie / Reginald II: Emphasizes on comedy, most his videos are about exploiting a game's system as most as possible or doing an autistic playthrough of a game, really like his comedy >DidYouKnowGaming/Unseen64: Mostly just random facts about gaming that are mildly interesting, used to spread a lot of misinformation in the past but are now really careful about that so most of the recent videos are legitimately informative. Their mean appeal are the Unseen64/Gaming History Secrets which usually cover cancelled games, explaining in-depth about how they got canceled and even interviewing devs revealing never-seen before footage and concept art. Has a blog known as Unseen64 where they talk about even more cancelled games

>>1878976 He's the only one I noticed that paint his fingernails and some of them are married, I mean I wouldn't be surprised if Sseth is a faggot given the sheer amount of gay videos he has for his jokes, but I don't really have any socials besides youtube so I don't really know about their personal life aside from what they show in their videos and what gets posted in here and halfchan Either way I just recommended the channels whose I like their content and sorted them from best to worst, but I somehow forgot Accursed Farms who I would put between Basement Brothers and Grimbeard Also today I watched two Bowl of Lentils videos for the first time and he's quite great so far, but apparently barely releases videos because he has a sidegig as a fan translator for games
