[Expand Post]CURRENT TASKS: 1. OPERATION MAX REVIVE 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://kotakuinaction2.win/ 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.

>>1930956 >make samey games for over a decade >scrap nearly everything that isn't an open-world RPG RIP Rayman >release said samey games in broken, buggy conditions that show it needed another year in the oven at minimum >force uPlay down PC players throats >increasingly obnoxious DEI that people were getting sick of even before the SBI controversy brought it to public consciousness >"Gamers need to get comfortable not owning their games" >"World's first AAAA game" >make and kill the game that sparks "Stop Killing Games" >the whole AssCreed Shadows debacle How could this have happened?
>>1930956 Tell all the employees to climb their nearest skyscraper so they can get a map of where their careers will be headed.
>>1930956 >>1930962 At least will get Assassins Creed Three Kingdoms not that I even play AC
>>1930875 Now's a good as time as any for a Super Mario Bros Anniversary themed thread Shame about Rosalina's voice actress for the movie https://archive.ph/9rxhX
>>1931147 Put a monkey in control of a ship and he will find a way to sink it.
>>1930875 One based on thanksgiving or is it too early for now? I have material for a cute and deadly theme if it's too early.
>>1930875 By the way, to whoever bakes the next thread: Might want take out the GamerGate, Deepfreeze, and Afterlife Empire Anniversaries from under the Ongoing Discussions section now. It's been a few months. >>1931396 >One based on thanksgiving or is it too early for now? It does feel a bit early, but if the next thread lasts for about two weeks, like they have been recently, it would likely reach 700 the day after Thanksgiving. So the theme wouldn't really fit until the thread has been bumplocked and almost at the usual 700 limit. But if we wait until the thread after next, it will also be a bit out of season for a Thanksgiving thread.
>>1931467 I've taken them out of my template for the threads, what do you want me to add for the news instead?
>>1931481 >what do you want me to add for the news instead? There has been a decent amount of vidya news lately, but in terms of news that is related to GG, censorship, etc., there hasn't been much from what I've seen. Maybe what anon mentioned up here could be worth adding? >>1914239
>>1931500 (Checked) I've added that, I'm up for suggest for more news or images for the next bread. I'm going with Cute and Deadly.
>>1928295 Unfortunately they seem to be following in Microshit's footsteps and using AI to bugtest their games. https://archive.ph/oTIfk
>>1931586 They also said all their games would have NFTs and they backed off that one pretty damn quick. Sometimes companies just say things because investors want you to say those things.
>>1931819 AI is communist, Lucy. Kill yourself.

>>1930875 >>1930956 >>1930962 Bonfire of the manatees
>>1931254 At this point they're probably gonna cast Zedaya as Daisy. God I hate celebrity wank and the rotting cesspool its turn modern pop culture into.
>>1931254 Bold strategy to cast someone who can't even act on screen in a voice role.
Is it just me or have the GG threads slowed down way harder in the last few months? This thread is already 2 weeks old. On that note, where have the threads been going? The most recent threads I see on /gg/ are from April and May of this year.
>>1932429 We're in Holiday season now. Looks like no one's been updating the repository
>>1932429 >>1932623 >On that note, where have the threads been going? The most recent threads I see on /gg/ are from April and May of this year. >Looks like no one's been updating the repository A few months ago (I think it was May), site administration announced there would be no more thread transfers. The site’s archive system is being used to save threads instead. Once a thread gets archived, if you have the ID, you can see the thread anytime, even though it doesn’t appear in the catalog anymore. This rentry has the IDs: https://rentry.org/ViviansList > Is it just me or have the GG threads slowed down way harder in the last few months? With the whole SBI situation falling out of public attention, as well as the failure and burial of games like Concord and Asscreed Shadows, there isn’t a lot of flashy stuff going on currently.

>>1932429 >the free money spigot of US-AID and Blackrock/BlackStone/Vanguard/StakeStreet has been shut off and all that's left is US taxpayer money clawbacks and the Failure of Fiduciary Duty lawsuits >"Socialism works until you run out of other people's money" >[THE NARRATIVE] is collapsing >companies are aggressively de-wokeifying as """"The Modern Audience"""" was never a thing >games jorunalzim is on fire >AAA gaming is on fire >the literally whos have either all fucked off like Cheasea Van Valkenburg or """"switched sides"""" like John Flynt and Anita Sarkesian n >niggerpill is suffering >the thread is slow It is a mystery
>>1932429 once they are off the 1st page these threads really do become pic related
>>1933004 >>>/gg/ only has them up to May as well, doesn't it?
>>1933916 All of this happened just this year alone and already it's like the world's changing overnight like a switch just flipped over and yet at the same time with so much other things keep happening it gets overlooked. We're living in interesting times and it's hard to enjoy it all.
>>1932429 GG threads have been slowing down for a while, especially when they near the end.
>>1932429 I think it's because GG is no longer centralizing discussions that would've been in the board or other boards now that the rest of the site is a bit more active. That and there's not much going on unless you want degrade discussion to petty eceleb drama or general politics irrelevant to indie/mainstream videogames. On more important news, due to the denial of the bill not being unanimous enough, the EU's chat control bill will enter a second round of votes this December and has broader support. If any EU anons are around from the undecided countries make sure to inform anyone regarding them, https://fightchatcontrol.eu/
I'm lurking for years now as I was a frequent poster too. It's just depressing that after graduation that I've been looking for work and it's almost 2 years and haven't got any responses from employers. It's getting depressing.
>>1934662 It doesn't get better. Only work I get is from seasonal Halloween work & that might be ending after this year. If you have a college degree & still not getting work then it means you're not a minority or someone they can hire via nepotism.
>>1934662 Work that can be done by AI makes you obsolete.
>>1934978 Eventually all work will be done by AI though.
Ai fags really can't stop pretending ai is the greatest thing ever when all it can do is generate poorly done images & videos via fed information of other existing material. No it's not going to replace any jobs beyond support, scams, & call centers. We're a very long way from actual robotic intelligence doing any real work. Companies just want slave class browns in forever debt to do everything underpaid.
>>1935095 It doesn't matter if it does a shit job,what matters is that it does it.
>>1935095 It's a tempting fantasy to believe in, because it's easy to laser focus on the "artists and writers lose their jobs" part because they truly do deserve punishment. If one abandons all interest in making the industry better, all that matters is spite and making the enemy hurt.
