Death Note
thats to scratch my, 'this is some horrendously cheesy voice acting and twists' itch

Because it works better in a visual novel format. After all, the most famous detective stories are from books.
Maybe, I've been playing stuff like shadows of doubt and pathologic, and that does wonder to scratch my itch, but I also have a long laundry list of games I need to finish, but Ill wishlist dangang and get it when a sale hits
 
The only board that is still usable is /fit/ because it moderates itself every time a attention whore or a discord troon tries to bait people just post their physique it's great

Wishful thinking, but it would be nice to see the sane posters from hobby generals to migrate here and have a more civilized spot to discuss shit. /g/ had a few generals with comprehensive OPs that were neat, like /csg/ where people just enjoyed buying chinkshit from Ali, /iemg/ and /hpg/ for audio. There's also /sg/ from /vg/ that could migrate to the STALKER thread to shit on Grok, Griga and discuss buildo ludokino. /iemg/ helped me out finding good IEM's for a decent price, /csg/ got me to buy some cool dumb shit as well, and there's very little hobby focused discussion with guidance like this on KF.

IMO KF is the perfect place for a good chunk of 4chan users to move to. Basically the only thing keeping them on 4chan was the lack of registration and full anonymity, which came at a cost that quality discussion would often get thwarted by schizospam. But here those posters could flourish with proper moderation, discussion segmentation, archival and formatting. If anything I'll miss those few generals where you could actually find something out and have a nice discussion, where all the issues stemmed from 4chan being 4chan, but the posters themselves had their heart in the right place and you could tell that. They'd fit right in and I encourage them to join in.

/hmofa/ will forever be the niggers of the boards tho and won't even get the chance to move here, rip
 
I'm kinda pissed to be honest. My last post on 4chan was so lame. It was just a picture of Donkey Kong from his new game (DK Bananza) getting a banana, he punches the banana, it's made of some kind of mineral, and the banana breaks and it says "OH, Banana" in text . DK is happy at least, but his new design IS unsettling. In game it looks like his fur is made of feathers, and when he jumps in water and gets out it looks like he is made of plastic. Very bad look for the new Donkey Kong. The gameplay looks a little bit too simple for me, I'm an older man now (25) and can't really play easy, childish, videogames without feeling like a chump.

I nsfw posted some animations from the touhou titjob guy on /v/
 
do you think anything will end up taking 4chans place in the chan-o-sphere if it goes down or will the whole ecosystem just continue to decline. would an altchan be able to take a more prominent space in culture?
I think part of the problem is 4Chan is a millennial website and the millennials are old now. The internet has gotten commercialized and sanitized and everyone one that would have gone into a community like 4Chan or another message board are pushed towards sites like Twitter, Facebook or Reddit. Maybe it will change when the advertiser money runs out if we have something like 2008 again, but for now it's hard to build something like 4Chan that came into a being in a more decentralized internet.

It is possible as 4Chan was still a massive site despite its decline, but even then, you're still aping 4Chan's legacy. You could at least get attention if you had a more engaged owner and could deal with the inevitable Tranny mods that crop up everywhere.

I think I called someone a retard to preferring Part 5 of JoJo to Part 7. Not bad, to be honest.
 
Ironically, Youtube comments have risen massively in quality since then, especially compared to nearly every other site on the internet.

It completely depends on the channel you're on of course, but on the good ones you tend to have comments that far surpass anything Reddit or 4chan could muster these days.
Are you joking? The youtube comment section is absolutely awful nowadays. Every single comment on music is just "who is watching in 2025?" and every other comment is just like "bro really just did X💀
 
New account don't crucify me! I've lurked for a while, been stewing on this one for a long time, but now is the perfect opportunity to share it with all that's come to light:

I've had a theory for a while about crowdsourced propaganda. It's well understood that 4chan sits at the top of the internet food chain, and memes, narratives, ideas drip down from there to everywhere else. 4chan is able to get away with doing and saying horrendous things, while a site like Kiwifarms gets their service pulled.

Why? I think it is essentially crowdsourcing propaganda.

The way that 4chan operates, as I'm sure you all know, is that people aggregate ideas, iterate on them, and make them more and more spreadable. With the advent of /pol/, suddenly that all became highly politically charged. Basically, by fostering a community of people who say and do the most extreme and eye-catching things, anonymously, they can create untraceable propaganda that adapts on the fly to current events, and only gets more and more eye-catching and extreme.

So they let them do what they do, and then prune, vet, and delete things they don't like, or that go against the message they're trying to push. Due to its anonymous nature, 4chan operates as a sort of post-truth social network, there's no REAL fact-checking or proof, you just have to make something that gets people's attention, and it'll get spread down the pipeline to Reddit, Xitter, all kinds of messageboards, Discords.

This all sounds conspiratorial, but when you take into account that 4chan is apparently being ran and moderated by actual feds and college educated elites, suddenly it doesn't seem so crazy...

Now realize that they are literally getting people to PAY to do this. And the volume of people trying to use 4chan was getting so high as to be un-moderateable, hence the sudden need for email verification, and 900 second waiting period. If they didn't have a purpose, they wouldn't care, they'd just let people spam the board into being unusable.

I think that entire website is used to generate messaging without it appearing fed-baked, after all, why hire an out of touch propagandist to make propaganda that will be outdated in a day, when you have a legion of insane people foaming at the mouth trying to spread their ideas as quickly as possible. Just control the messages that propagate, and you can control a massive engine of internet culture.

anyway THIIIIIIIIINK ABOOOOOOOOOOOUT IT!
You haven't said anything new at all, did you watch one YouTube video?
