Vidya Lounge Thread Anonymous 06/20/2021 (Sun) 16:37:19 Id: 33c988 No. 343401
Welcome to /v/'s comfy lounge. This thread is for general discussion about /v/-related topics that don't deserve/fit in regular threads. The rules 'may be treated more flexibly here, but please take care not to make a mess and don't be a retard. Rules: 1. The lounge is a shared community with /v/. Posters should have posts elsewhere on the board before entering the lounge. 2. Discussion should pertain to /v/-type content only, such as funposting about video games, more video games, industry matters, and gamer™ interests. Colouring outside the lines MAY be okay, however posters do so at their own risk with the understanding that said posts might be moderated without forewarning at any time.
>>1705709 >Can somebody call me at least 5 different insults and slurs Nah Just be better
>>1705709 Would posting a Steam Chart would make you feel better?
>>1705709 Okay but fair warning, I'm not gonna hold back on any of these. Partially spoilered for anyone at work: stinker goober silly billy funny goose dumdum
>>1705709 Ass munching fat nigger retard
>>1705709 Legit question, the fuck did you think was gonna happen when basically all boards on 4chan have been slowly but surely hemorrhaging qualityposters either to this place or simply the void and leaving nothing but the pajeets and israel bots?

>>1705718 >>1705724 >>1705727 >>1705881 >>1706288 I don't know why I left this place, you guys are far too nice, man... I'll be better, for my own sake, thank you. >Would posting a Steam Chart would make you feel better? I don't see how that would do anything, but feel free to post it. >>1706308 Thanks. >>1706441 My man, that is a very good question, I genuinely don't know what I was expecting, I suppose I was just being too hopeful.

>>1706507 Hopefully you are better off from now on that you dropped 4chan again.
>>1706576 NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO STOP BULLYING HER!!!
>>1706441 Have more niche boards gone to shit in recent years too? I remember even 4/v/'s cousin boards like /vr/ having at least some decent discussions going on when I last visited a few years ago. Is the entire website unsalvageable by now?
>>1706946 The extremely small niche ones, like /vm/ and the handful of people there hosting and playing games together.
>>1706946 From my experience, it's a really mixed bag. About half of them are completely dead due to either moving over to here, or simply dying out entirely after the hack. Half of them still continue on almost like nothing happened but still suffer from less people.
Is .se down?
>>1707067 Globally this time
>>1706946 The only decent one is /m/ and even then you'll find many of the same retarded brownoids depending on the thread.
>>1706946 last i checked the niche boards were the only ones that had semi decent traffic that weren't complete zoomer retards, but I'm not a fan of the fact that I ccan't use a VPN to post on that website soooooo cest la vie. >>1705709 I'm here you fucking retard. Honestly, I'm here because the takes are less retarded than reddit, for the most part. Or at least, people are willing to at least hear you out here, even if you're wrong. zoomer retards on their phone who don't get it choke 4chan in droves now, so it's not quite what it used to be regardless

Can you change the battery in a PS4 controller? Mine seems to be discharging too quickly. I think it's kaput or close to it.
>>1709428 you can, its not soldered either
>>1709428 >Can you change the battery in a PS4 controller Yes you can, it's similar to changing the PS3's controller battery Check your controller model first though. 1st Gen (CUH-ZCT1U) https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/DualShock+4+(CUH-ZCT1U)+Battery+Replacement/22074 2nd Gen (CHU-ZCT2U) https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/DualShock+4+CHU-ZCT2U+Battery+Replacement/138739
>>1709428 Just be careful, the easy part is actually changing the battery, but the hard part is opening and closing back the controller, especially be careful with the triggers because snoy are fucking niggers, if you can do it in one of those meme work mats or you WILL have the springs fly around and you will spend hours searching for them. Speaking from personal experience.
>>1705709 Welcome back you dopey nigger. Enjoy the slower posting and do something in the downtime like reading fucking book please someone post on >>>/lit/ or actually play vidya instead of posting 24/7 like a brain rotted zoomer.

>>1706946 I personally wouldn't know, I was limited to just my containment general back in /vg/ and I didn't even want to go anywhere near /ic/. That said, I did get some meaningful discussions from branching off to the /hpgg/ (because I was bored and then realize those guys were fellow kin) and the /hbg/ of /vr/ (to bitch and whine about X-Fusion having my heart for the entirety of the game and smash it against the nearest wall during the very last portion of the game). >>1706972 It would be nice to play games together, actually. Has anyone here ever tried setting up an Archipelago run? >>1708908 Or at least, people are willing to at least hear you out here, even if you're wrong. That is something I noticed, people are not willing to discuss over there, they just want their ragebaiting, their gotchas and "winning" arguments. Once you try to get a decent discussion either you are ignored or TLDR'd. >>1710546 >spoiler I don't think you want me over there... even though I saw you have an AO3 thread. And if you can also discuss worldbuilding for OC projects over there, then I will keep /lit/ in mind, I could use some inputs on my setup.
>>1710964 That's another thing I noticed. People talk about how "understanding" reddit is or whatever, but their heels dig in even deeper or they dogpile you if you don't agree with the hivemind IMMEDIATELY. There is no nuance on reddit, and it shows in how they interact with the rest of the world as well (such as their politics). I'm convinced most of the subreddits for the bigger games are filled with people that don't have original thought or actually play games, just people that parrot the same fucking clickbait youtubers/twitch streamers that they watch.
>>343401 There's this song that's stuck in my head, and I think it's a soundtrack from JRPG? I cannot be sure. The only part of the song that constantly loops inside my head is its melancholic intro, that goes "du- du- du- dududu- du- du- du- dududu-", and I can't even be sure if it's female vocal or instrument. I know it's incredibly vague.... But does it ring any bell to anybody?
>>1712430 Honestly? That's to vague. That could be anything from 'oblivion - Harvest Dawn' to 'wild arms - town theme' and anything beyond.
>>1712430 >>1712468 I don't have any musical skill, so best I can do to recreate what it sounds like is knocking on my desk like I'm sending out some cryptic morse code.... I hope this is at least somewhat helpful.
>>1712526 Still not enough bro.
>>1712538 ...Try humming or whistling

>>1711071 I feel it all comes down to what I said, most people out there don't seem to be willing to have a conversation. They just want something out of you, be in the form of petty arguing or ragebaiting, they are not willing to talk like regular humans, which honestly sucks. I can take this place being slow as long as people are willing to talk and have a genuine discussion. Not that I had a problem with the slowness anyway. Would be nice to have a place to talk about Mario, doe, but the general here seems to be kind of dead.
>>1712430 >>1712468 >>1712526 >>1712538 >>1712592 >>1713313 AAAAAAAA I REMEMBER WHERE IT'S FROM NOW! It was OST from Kojima's Policenauts. Give it a listen boys, it's a nice blast from 90's Japan.
>>1713398 There is nothing stopping you from making a Mario thread, just look at the Halo thread >>>1626346 . Just call it a "thread" instead of "general", put 5 relevant pictures in the OP, don't forget the Subject field, very important, and please make the OP at least one paragraph in length. With that you will be golden. Worst case scenario, you will make a shit OP, people will shit on it, the mods will delete it, but here is the thing, you can try again, there is no rule against remaking a better OP. Regarding the "at least one paragraph in length" suggestion, think of it this way, there is no rush, nobody is forcing you to make a quick and dirty thread, if it's a good thread it will be here for a few months, so why not make it look good, as the OP is the advertising billboard, and if you like Mario I am sure there are things for you to say. You can start the OP with a short description of the latest Mario game you have been playing, both positives and negatives, ask other anons what their opinions are and end it with "This thread is also a general discussion for Mario related games", if you really want to sneak in the word "general" in. Good luck anon!
>>1713625 Hmmm, I might make a thread alright, thanks for the advices, anon! It's worth a shot trying to get discussion running.
>>1713686 Another way you could do the OP, is to talk what you generally like about the Mario series, some of your favorite games, what elements they have in common, what games you think are not that good(excluding spin-offs like those Mario educational games) and so on. Of course there are other ways of making good OPs, these are some suggestions, not rules, but again if you have something to say about Mario, then I am sure you can write more than one sentence. Another thing to keep in mind, is that in the beginning you will have to spend some extra effort nurturing the thread, as in try to give replies to the first few posters in your thread with the same ID as your OP(so don't immediately change your IP). This will show that you are willing to have a discussion with anons, and after 10-20 posts the thread will have a life of it's own, and it's ok to switch your IP if you really don't like the ID system. In the past I have mocked some OPs that were just "What do you think of X game?" with no other replies from OP in the thread, and besides calling it a ">(1) and done", I might also ask OP "What do (You) think of X?", either to show people that OP is not willing to engage in the discussion, or maybe even give Op the chance to actually participate in the discussion. I think this is more of a mentality thing, the OP isn't meant to just be a lobby you opened, and people will just participate due to induced demand, but more of a conversation that you are interested in starting, and willing to engage with. I know I wrote a lot, and might seem like making a good OP is hard science, so I will reduce it to "Talk passionately about what you like, and engage with other anons about your passion".
>>1713704 (NTA) Some completely unsolicited advice: a lot of the time it doesn't matter what the OP is as long as it provides enough to springboard a conversation off of. Ex: call it a Mario thread and have the OP be all about how Sunshine is your favorite in the series and why you wish Nintendo made a sequel, that way there's already a direct conversation to reply to/argue for or against and anyone who wants to post about Mario can contribute since it's the subject anyway. Just talk about what you want to talk about, but show that there's at least some thought and effort behind it.
