Nice long read, I really enjoyed that.
I remember digging through archive.org trying to find info on the developers of nesticle and stuff. so this was right up my alley.

Is "icer addis" his real name? shits sick.

Ever notice how when someone gets accused of being multiple posters there's only ever one person trying to refute it?

[Anonymous No.3962557]

>>3962554
could that be because when you accuse 2 out of 2 people in a thread of being OP, that one of them is actually OP, and has no reason to refute it?

[Anonymous No.3962567]

Actual OP here.

I couldn't think of anything more autistic to sit around and argue about, personally.

Lame.

Can't we all, like, get along? I love this board and I love you guys.

[Anonymous No.3962583]

>>3962578
The most influential early NES emulator, yes. Whatever dumb icon a teenage developer used doesn't negate it's importance in both retrogaming and the emulation scene.

Sorry you have dick issues.

But we gotta stick together. This is a good board we have here, with good knowledgeable people. We share a common interest, we really do. It's not like /v/ at all where the majority of anons just come to shit all over the board. All for one and one for all, right?

Not with the shitters we have modding the board, no. It's pretty obvious a Janitor is a regular in the Doom general (which I did not go in to intending to start a fight).

My comments were gone faster than I've ever seen a moderation action taken except in cases of child porn.

Actually, Ernie is part of one my character names in a game. Thought it was a fag I knew who browsed here as well.

[Anonymous No.3962620]

>>3962606

Guy, I'm not going through some kind of weird initiation-ritual-of-silence just to ask a question about goddamn Doom.

And that's actually all I did. But because one person was evidently the source of some petty forum drama (which I neither knew about before hand nor cared to be regaled with), I didn't even get an answer to my second question. So, nah, I'm gonna have to go with >>3962603 .

OP here. Agreed. I don't visit most of those sites typically because most of the unemployed, inexperienced college kids churning out filth there are fucking insufferable.

A friend sent this one my way and I just thought it was a good read.

[Anonymous No.3962676]

>>3962594
Not really, no. Half the time, we end up calling each other names and getting ass pained over opinions.

Like if you have an opinion that deviates even slighly from "le epic retro handbook" , you get shit on. And if your opinin is "acceptable", then you get shit on by other shitters with something to prove.

Not to mention that if you even mention anytging not STRICTLY adherent to the rules... holy fucking hell the retarded asspains....

Other boards have off topic banter now and then. This board is SO stuck up it's own ass that it's impossible.

I feel more at home on /v/, because at least there, everything blowsover. here, everything just blows.
