Techno

Note: Apparently some moderators that left made ResetEra, so NeoGAF is also a massive part in that area of the internet.

Here on Techno's Tales, I also like telling stories, this is one I was not apart of, but I have studied it. Many websites rise and fall some fall gracefully, others go with a bang, and some go into dark places. I will now talk about a forum which is still active, but has now become a shell of it's former self. Content Warning: Alleged Sexual Harassment and Censorship. Warning: Please do not go harass any person, website, or company apart of this story, all intentions are for education and entertainment. NeoGAF was started as a forum called "The Gaming-Age Forums", which was apart of a website called Gaming-Age. It eventually grew too big for it, after a few years with IGN it became NeoGAF. Many years went by, NeoGAF grew by the day. But on October 21, 2017 things took a dark turn, a film director named Ima Leupp told the community of Facebook that the forum's owner, Tyler "Evilore" Malka had approached her while she was showering without her consent. Following this, the forum erupted into chaos, half of the sites moderators quit, leaving the site in sheer chaos. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of accounts posted threads, trying to get banned. Soon, NeoGAF was offline, the plug had been pulled. But it was not for long, as afterwards, the plug was put back in, and NeoGAF had returned. But things had changed, scars left by this event can still be seen. The forum is bigger than ever, but at what cost? The cost, it seems, can be seem by the message at the top of the website that appeared afterwards, the one all shall see: "The Politics forum has been nuked. Please do not bring political discussion to the rest of the site, or you will be removed. Thanks." Maybe Evilore is gone, I do not know that, but what I can say is this: No more political discussion at NeoGAF, please.

Yeah, I get that, it is tricky to balance things out.

Since I find some very interesting websites (the cleans ones, mind you) I wanted to talk about some of them. I had found this 90's website from a cult, >deleted< if I remember correctly, it's very interesting, but the cult is infamous for a >deleted< that happened, so keep that in mind. Here is the link to it: Note: The site is religious (Hope I don't get in trouble for this one) Another site I found was this really small forum site, The owner is nice and the site runs wells and is well moderated. I joined today, (note: I am not the owner nor a friend of the owner). It's a mix of entertainment in general. If you do check it out please don't cause trouble, especially because it has less than 50 members, and the owner is the only staff there. Link: https://thegoathouse.community Here is the last one I feel like talking about for now, so I was googleing weird sites and some site called ducks are the best came up. It's just a color board (eplictic warning: the colors change very fast, if you get seizures from that then avoid) that you draw duck emojis on. It's more of a meme site. Link: Well hope @DC doesn't get mad at me. If I messed up I am sorry. Moderator Edit: Links removed due to content. VGR does not endorse sites glorifying things such as cultist activities especially if they result in mass tragedies. We also can not allow links to sites that could cause massive health issues to members who may have undiagnosed conditions.

Which phone is better, Samsung Android or Apple Iphone?

Honestly, a place to put reviews without any other clutter. I would love to do some reviews on games that I have played (Halo Infinite, Metroid Dread, Forza Horizon 5) the problem is, I would get cluttered out by other things in general gaming, a subsection just for reviews would allow forum members to post their reviews on games (and maybe other media). It would benefit the forum by allowing me and other people to express their thoughts on games without trying to combat other gaming gaming topics.

Cool, I'm very into gaming history, especially the pong era.

Welp cant wait to see how this goes. We haven't had best of luck with GTA in a while. Fingers crossed it isn't a disater.

Ah, a old school. Like they say "No school like the old school". So how was the second generation?

No, I started during OS3 and XBOX 360 generation, and the NES don't mean that much to me tbh.

Yes, Silent Hill is good, there is Resident Evil, Amnesia, those might have detailed bumps (or is it holes?), one game I do know has nothing of that sort is Doki Doki Literature Club. I only have played like the AAA ones.

One came never assume, time is never ending, the ways have come and gone. The marching of the world never ceases, all things begin and end. Never, have anything survived time, the ends and new beginnings will rise. Forums have rised, forums have died. All things come to a end. DC may be here now, but he aint staying for the rest of time.

What is your list of favorite games that came out in 2021 My list: Halo Infinite Metroid Dread Psychonauts 2 Forza Horizon 5 Hitman 3 Microsoft Flight Simulator

And as long as the forum stays on.

I now declare myself the Halo News guy. Halo Infinite is getting a Slayer playlist, a fiesta playlist, a swat playlist, and a free for all playlist. 343 has stated: "“As I noted last week, the team’s original plans for a Slayer playlist included a variety of new variants that weren’t going to be ready in time to deploy before the holiday break, to address player feedback for Slayer in the near term, we’ll be releasing a basic Slayer offering to start and will look to bolster and expand with more variants in a future update.” The update arrives December 14th. Source: https://www.gameinformer.com/2021/12/13/halo-infinite-slayer-swat-fiesta-and-free-for-all-playlists-hit-multiplayer-tomorrow My thoughts: I am more excited about Fiesta, Swat, and Free For All being added to Infinite than a Slayer playlist, I'm happy Slayer gets to become easier to play, but I'm not much of a slayer player. Fiesta was fun during that event, so I want to play that. I actually have never played Swat or Free For All, so I will be happy to try them out.

Nintendo, one minute they give me BOTW 2, next thing you know they try to make me pay $50 for the online expansion.

Okay, I found a gold mine of people I can invite, there will likely be an influx of new accounts. I dont know when they will join, but they will join.

Yes, we just need them to make a account

More like 50 years. Be realistic, it will probably be my death that stops me from posting here.

Well I mean we can't really force a man to undo his will. A man's will is his greatest weapon. To try and destroy it would break a man.
