idk man I've bought like 3 games since the pandemic started and haven't even played 1 of them.

Whenever someone sings fansa and they don't input their name instead of mona at the mona-beam part I'm like "Are you even a real aidoru?".

I would think not having played any games that came out within the last 2-3 years would mean you aren't particularly qualified to comment on whether or not current games need guides.

the fact that you are still not ip-banned means no hard left agenda was ever pushed zeus

The fact that you're still pushing that as a narrative means you're as clueless as ever, if not more clueless.

Every now and then, you opening your mouth manages to be the funniest thing I experience all week. It's still Monday, but I've gotta say you're looking like a very strong contender this week.

Notice that adjl didn't deny any of the claims or try to spin them.

Likely you'll see even less moderation as the new owners continue to ignore the site, refuse to put any real money or effort into it, and just try to think of new ways to squeeze a little more blood from the stone before tossing the shitty potato to the next asshole.


Considering the vast disparity in moderation on this site -- where death threats get no-actioned but complaining that posters are advocating murder warrants a moderation -- maybe less moderation is the answer if we can't get fairer moderation system.

What the hell is Fandom?

A shitty alternative to various wikis, etc.

GameFAQs' guides have largely gone out of style in favour of wikis that allow people to drill down to the specific information they want instead of scrolling through large documents.
Gamefaqs has HTML guides now, so that would help with this.

The problem is they're mostly just made for the newest, more popular games. So if you want a guide for an older game, you'll probably have to settle for some crappy plain text guides.

tbh, for the majority of older games, wikis aren't even available.

If you're looking for a step-by-step walkthrough? Indeed not (though the Dark Souls wikis generally have pretty good text walkthroughs, as a counterexample). If you're just looking for "who drops this?" or "where is this character?" or "where does this sidequest start," though, they tend to be a lot better because you can get your answer by just going to the page for that item/character/sidequest. A very large number of people look for that sort of guidance when they need help with a game: they just want to figure out the one thing they're stuck on, rather than getting a guide for everything.

And then when Wikis don't work so well, you get youtube as another resource, or Reddit for more active discussion of the game than you usually get on GameFAQs... GameFAQs can still be the best place to get the information you need in some cases, but there are a lot of alternatives now that tend to do a better job.


I was thinking of the Dark Souls wiki when I made that post. They are definitely better than others but still trash.

I have never seen any wiki have actual good guides for games.

For the last 10 years, I don't think I've ever successfully used a single FAQ on this site, because almost every single question I've ever had was better answered either via wiki or by a YouTube video. Or even the occasional IGN checklist.

FAQs are kind of hot garbage for most things. They were useful when no other alternatives existed (or the only alternative was a Prima guide), but they've been superseded in pretty much every way.

i do find it amusing that i've went years with no usermapping

sure i'd get suspended or something and then make a topic where i exaggerate everything and ultimately end up with like a few banned accounts, but never usermapped

the dichotomy is that all throughout the past few years zeus could have made a case for his claim, given that he was constantly getting modded and the normal people pretty much weren't

until recently, now zeus is apparently untouchable whereas i've now been usermapped twice and get modded for the most stupid of shit (like pointing out that allen shut down the trump board, of all things, is apparently trolling even though it's established fact that he removed the maga board after jan 6, dude made announcements about it ffs but no it's trolling fuck off mod your bias is clear as hell there), and multiple others that make it blatantly clear are left aligned are also getting usermapped and modded for the dumbest of shit now

almost like...

lets hope fandom actually puts pressure into the moderation consistency because i believe it is the thing that is actually killing the website.

you can't just let trolls free roam while throwing anyone who dare speak against them into purgatory, it just makes people leave. it's almost like a microcosm of reality in america. the cops just do whatever they want and innocent people are the ones who die.

My last suspension was for making fun of Donald Trump, Jr's shitty meme game

Mods literally defending right-wingers by suspending me.

But sure, this place is sooooo leftist

If I rolled my eyes any harder at Zeus's toothless claims of bias I'd be reading this thread with my asshole

As I've invited you to do before, please provide examples of the right-wing viewpoints you believe you cannot espouse here. For some reason, you always seem to dodge that question. I can't imagine why.

I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that anyone on this site who uses the words "Republican" or "Democrat" in a post, or "Right"/"Left" in a political context, should be instantly auto-banned.

It would dramatically cut down on the constant dick-swinging and shitposting from both sides (and yes, both sides seriously need to shut the fuck up). Because it's incredibly annoying at this point, and it tends to ruin even topics that start out completely unrelated to politics or current events.

If you can't stop whining about politics on an obsolete video game message board, you've gone seriously fucking wrong somewhere in your life. Start channeling all that energy into fixing whatever's wrong with you. Or go do something that's actually productive to support the political views you claim to support.

If you're basically just standing on two sides of a room and constantly flinging shit at each other, all you're really accomplishing is making the room really, really shitty.

I had a bunch of accounts I made as joke accounts, but I'm a strong believer in not beating a joke to death, so most of them were used sparingly and occasionally pulled out of the mothballs just to keep them active or make a quick joke.

Mad_Max was my main alt. SmugRickMoranis became my new main alt when Max got banned. Trying to get my Read-Only account activated so I can post when I'm purg'd but I don't know if it'll get approved.
