@PurpCat @RatPoster @coolboymew I really hate how the places that many of those users went to afterward are fundamentally worse, fedi included.

>I'd argue that 4chan back then was even "worse" in what was often happening there back then than it is now

Are you talking about the site itself or how the community actually affected things in the real world?

4chan is worse than it has ever been. Nothing but Pepe and Wojak template threads. I had to mute that greentextbot on here because every time I saw a 4chan screenshot, I'm reminded how soulless that website is now. It's probably a bunch of markov-chain bots making those threads.

@coolboymew @berkberkman @RatPoster Notch frequently posted on 4chan, during the early days of Minecraft.

@berkberkman @RatPoster @coolboymew Even before THQ Nordic, there were a bunch of indie game devs that openly posted on imageboards and even held AMAs on them. Hell, Running With Scissors had an official board on 8chan. I'm not even joking.

@coolboymew @RatPoster I was browsing 8/v/ at the time and I saw that AMA thread and thought it was a joke.

@PurpCat If the shooting was real and organic, and the CulturalPhilistine Youtube account was him, then that goes to show how being obsessed with philosophy and taking it literally can have devastating consequences.

@beardalaxy How about replacing the open-world with procedurally generated content? I think that would be a good compromise as they offer the same amount of replayability, in my opinion.

@beardalaxy I thought that you were never going to make another open-world RPG.
