OPERATION MAX REVIVE
[Expand Post]Rebuild the board's userbase and activity through simple, but effective methods 1. Post across the entire board Activity creates activity. Use threads you like, make new ones if topics don't exist. Easy examples are Drawthreads and Friday Night threads, go request or draw something right now. 2. Recruit and recover lost or potential anons Use this site's OC and features to entice anons if necessary when recruiting, just inform that we are alive. Here's some sites and links with at least some confirmed anons that can be recruited again: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chotwheels https://steamcommunity.com/groups/SSAVCH https://steamcommunity.com/groups/video_games https://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chmohun https://steamcommunity.com/groups/8chan_monster https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GoodLuckEbolaChan https://steamcommunity.com/search/groups/#text=8ch.net https://steamcommunity.com/search/groups/#text=8chan Other sites that might yield fruitful results and have anons (art sites use an account so you can see 18+ content): https://www.deviantart.com/search?q=Vivian+James https://www.newgrounds.com/search/summary?suitabilities=etm&terms=Vivian%20James https://twitter.com/search?q=Vivian%20James&src=typed_query&f=image https://rpgcodex.net/ https://old.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/ Somewhere on Telegram Just searching up GG or 8chan-related terms on certain places/sites can get you possible results. 3. Make your own OC/Memes/Content Doesn't matter what it is even if its just simple edits or full-on drawings or webms, just make it and have fun. Ask in thread for software recs if necessary. 4. Encourage or create fun events, activities, projects, etc. Think things like 8chanmania, weekly streams, re-translation projects, demo days, or zzz's gaming magazine for example. If you want to do something, try making or reviving it, it can't hurt and these things are great for the board. 5. Use other boards All it takes for a board to grow is at least 2 dedicated anons using it. Don't be afraid to make a post, check places periodically, shill, or what have you. Don't force discussions to boards, just encourage the usage of them. 2. OPERATION TRAJAN: Collect and catalog all of the various localization and censorship accounts of past video games into a single repository from these sources: romhacking.net The_Cutting_Room_Floor/tcrf.net Segaretro.org https://redirect.invidious.io/channel/UCFItIX8SIs4zqhJCHpbeV1A Examples: http://archive.vn/XQOHW Sony's policies forces censorship; JP devs allegedly have to go through ENG approval process: https://archive.fo/awzFF - Japanese blog post about it: https://archive.fo/bF9bE Sony Japan President Says PS4 Censorship Policy Is To Match Global Standards And Protect Kids: https://archive.fo/U3GLa - Confirms censorship was deliberate: https://archive.fo/XgAgP - No rules for censorship policies, games judged case-by-case: https://archive.fo/37DhK - Marvelous partner starts petition against policy: https://archive.fo/rxQtf https://archive.fo/84UHo • Twitterfags: Tweet with Sony's stock code $SNE so that investors see your tweets and know you're pissed. • Consider spreading OP Timber materials to targets as well: http://archive.vn/URjtu ONGOING TASKS: A.

>>1714848 Soyny is delusional ever since the soystation 3. And yes, they still think that they can ever change people's behavior through entertainment, when reality has proven that people simply abandon entertainment that doesn't align with their beliefs.
>>1714848 Sport games and fighting games are also popular among black people, even the most chimp of them.
>>1714790 >>1714848 >>1714927 This makes me even more happy that Sony is gradually falling apart. Nearly every big release they had since the PS5 launched has either bombed or been hit with controversy with the only games that did well and are remembered fondly being Helldivers 2 (although that had controversy of its own), Stellar Blade, and Astro Bot, and two of those are also on PC. Now Lost Soul Aside got tainted with controversy, one that can even label Sony as racist towards chinks, costing them the Chinese market.
>>1714790 To appeal to niggers, you just make FIFA/Madden. It's just that easy. Why Sony is too retarded about this.
>>1714106 Even as a kid I thought comic-con was stupid, but nowadays its even worse. My mom for whatever reason watches it on the TV every year and she complains it's nothing but people selling funkopops and not even comics. There's apparently not even many cosplayers excluding men dressed as women.

>>1714839 Are you looking for the characters saying the months and dates in Engrish where they try to say the actual names, or their actual Japanese words like 9月(くがつ)with the English subtitles below it saying the month's name? Because if it's the former, then I doubt you'll find more like that recently posted September webm. It's too specific. If it's the latter, then it could be done. I have 2 instances in this category.
>>1715190 I suppose dubs would be preferred, or just the character pronouncing the month or date in an approximation of English. It's just a silly little thing I want to do. Thanks for being able to help with this, of all things!
>>1714790 That would explain why Sony games have been consistently boring over the past decade or so.

>>1715433 by both your previous posts as ell as your writing style, it is clear you ain't niggerpill, BUT from that project 2025 comment it is obvious you are that one cock gulcher that posted this retarded notion a few times before, unkindly have an anal prolapse & then take a bonesaw to it
I'm not quick to discredit the idea that republicans and project 2025 and so on are in favor of this... but collective shout is australian, not american so I can't see how that would be the case.
>>1715442 It's probably just best to ignore anyone that even remotely posts like NIGGER WILLY does.
>>1715452 i don't think he's niggerpill, he's likely some smegma snorter from quarterdoublechan
I recently did some reasearch on the mythology of witches for creative writing, and something that came up constantly was that witches had red hair and green eyes. Another one that was known throughout many ancient cultures was left-handedness. I am sure nobody really thought about what hand Vivian James considers her dominant hand at the time, but I think it would be interesting if she actually was meant to resemble something akin to the traditional witch, representing the witch hunt of gamergate. Admittedly, this would only be known by persons from her inception, but if that was not the case, then it is an interesting coincidence, at least.
>>1714849 >>1714876 >>1714881 Someone say black rabbit? >>1715451 Also, it was happening when the other party was in power as well so likely it is the will of some group that operates globally, some kind of NGO.
>>1715023 After jewsney was exposed buying their own tickets to their movies in order to inflate sales numbers, I suspect that soyny and other companies did the same for the sports games' so called "success". It seems odd that, once people started investigating those companies, the sports games sales dropped or isn't as highlighted by those companies as much as they were before. Not the e-sports garbage, but the actual Maddens/Fifas/whatever.
>>1714849 Rabbit rabbit
>>1713973 >But groups of guys with hobbies like video games, books and shit like that and making a group culture around them is fine. That’s not really what being a geek is though. Being a geek is existing for no reason other than your trival, sedentary hobbies; being extremely lazy, irresponsible, and infantile; and thinking you are smarter than you actually are simply because you know how to use a keyboard. Any actually learned and wise man of history would look down on geeks with immense contempt.
>>1713365 >Minor nitpick in the GamerGate bit in that even halfchan was banning discussion of that shit. Considering the mainstream narrative of GG all these years something that minor can be forgiven. Plus the post is aimed at Reddit, not halfchan. >>1714849 I remembered. >>1714839 I will look out for any from now on. >I realize this is a particularly autistic brand of autism. That I will remember it if I see any is also somewhat autistic.
>>1715866 >That’s not really what being a geek is though. It was the word used for it. Granted it was a word made up mostly by external people to describe groups of guys who engaged with these hobbies, usually to make fun of them, but it was a word that used to be aimed at groups like gamers, people who watch anime etc. Mainstream trying to co-opt those groups and create a faux culture (a la Big Bang Theory and the like) was the cancer, but it was also always a minstrel show that didn't really reflect the reality. So the issue is word(s) kind of took on a double meaning because of that lamestream integration. You seem to be talking about the superficial version concocted by corporations and normalfags, to which I agree. I'm talking about the groups of disaffected young men who were unpopular or otherwise weren't interested in sportsball so they made their friend groups around something else they did enjoy.
>>1715962 "AI" doesn't exist, and algorithms aren't sentient. Take your ARG somewhere else.
>>1715962 I don't get it, did something happen with Bonegolem? Deepfreeze hasn't been touched in forever, I don't see a reason for him to mess with it now unless he can't afford to host it anymore or something.

>>1713527 >Do those embed things actually work? A bit. If you can get them working. The bulk of Photoshop involved: Image 1. Changing the chip bag labels to something coherent, making the GameBoy look like a GameBoy instead of the generic "sort-of GameBoy" that the AI produces. Image 2. Adding a text bubble with what I wanted, boosting contrast & adding a halftone overlay. Stable Diffusion can't generate a uniform halftone very well, & halftones fuck with inpainting consistency, so manually adding a halftone afterwards in Photoshop makes far more sense & is significantly more uniform.

>>1715987 Stop being gayer than (((Reddit))).
>>1716015 He's not wrong, they're advanced algorithm that still need to be overseen and managed. They're not self automated and lessen per-existing work strain. They're not the total human obsoleting phenomena people make them out to be unless you're a middleman.
>>1716015 >you don't believe what Reddit believes, therefore you are... worse than Reddit? Your "AI" waifu isn't real, isn't sapient, isn't human, doesn't have rights, and will never be anything but a predictive language model in your computer.

>>1715987 How do you know we're sentient anon? What if we're just some bacteria made after hundreds of millions of years of sun radiation and everything we think of sentience is a lie?
>>1716077 Sentience is just sentence with i in it.

>>1716100 oh fuck
>>1716077 >How do you know we're sentient anon? What if we're just some bacteria made after hundreds of millions of years of sun radiation and everything we think of sentience is a lie? You did just now by self introspecting and acknowledging the possibility. If you can can question the idea of what you know is a lie and think about it thoroughly, you've shown that you are sentient. Otherwise, you wouldn't think all to hard about it.
>>1713828 >"don't aim to emulate successful real people, but instead idolize completely impossible idealized fictional weirdos" What do you call what the Greco-Romans were doing with mythology? I'm pretty sure they existed before Marxism did. >attack only the successful Wrong. Nobody attacks Hollywood or "successful" entrepreneurs, they attack outside influences (no matter how correct or justified the outsiders are) >>1714790 >when you lose one unit of sale from yellow people, you will receive ten units of sale from black people Who wants to tell em it's closer to 0.6 from Black people given the number of thefts? Or that they forgot a certain race?
>>1714790 I bet they just told them to fill the game with brown characters. But the concerning part is that chinese directors/producers are taking Sony's advice seriously
