Nintendo Treehouse team got a thank-you gift from 4chan's video games board.

A shit post is a shit post.
There's definitely a difference in quality between a sarcastic shit post and one genuinely fueled by fanboy rage. It's the equivalent of jokingly and genuinely saying "Thanks, Obama."

Neither is contributing much, but I'll take a joker over a crazy person.
 
Heh. I do like these cards. Don't go on 4chan nearly as much as I used to, maybe I'm getting a little old for its Wild West moderation style and trolls trolling trolls, but sometimes its users can surprise you.
 
Awww, that's sweet!

Why do people gotta turn everything into a negative thing.

Because that's NeoGAF's favourite pastime. I'm basically waiting for the thread where somebody complains there weren't enough black/female/LGBT characters on the card.
 
You mean how, when Nintendo said Iwata was sick, some Neogaf posters joked about his illness while anons on /v/ decided to make a get-well card?

It was such a weird contrast. /v/ got together to build a giant card and actually ship it from Japan to him. GAF made a thread talking about how he should step down and how Nintendo won't improve until he's gone.
 
Wow. This and the get well soon card really impressed me. Maybe I should check /v/ out. It can't be all bad if their community does amazing acts like this.
 
You guys... learn how to read through posts in /v/ and avoid taking them seriously or ignore trolling.

Seriously, that place is fine for discussion.
Yup. I like /v/ much better than GAF for discussing certain games (like Smash). For others, I'd rather stay here.

Anyways, this was a really nice gesture from /v/. I didn't participate, but I saw a few threads about the thank you gift there.
 
They think the same of NeoGAF.

PRICELESS
 
I joined GAF initially because I find the quality of posts were a little higher.
These days, I do not find it so. Even good threads have been turned to shit by drive-by postings.

I fully agree with Cliff in that there is no surprise why developers have begun hating this place.

Lots of people here are calling developers "lazy". I was thinking NeoGAF has a higher standard than that, that this is not GameFAQs. I now feel the mentality of this place is no different from other places, just that the way people insult have better spelling and grammar.

No developers are lazy. Even if the game they made is terrible. And some threads that gets made here, if a developer comes in and read it, no doubt he will forever swear off this forum. It is toxic for the developers mind. It might affect his actual work if he cares what people here just called him.

What /v/ did was just heartwarming, despite their communities. It is easier to not care about 4chan, but one day you receive a gift from hundreds of people you do not know and go back to your job. Insults from places like 4chan, GameFAQs are much easier to ignore compared to NeoGAF.

true to an extent, but the mods here are good. and the 'highlight poster' firefox/chrome greasmonkey script makes reading gaf really good. I have about 40 quality posters in my list.

Without that script, the signal to noise ratio would be too low to make it fun coming here most times.
 
Man thought to myself why this thread semi exploded, and thought that a load of people liked the card...Read what I missed and most posts became a NeoGAF vs 4chan thing =/

I could have watched these three all night.

Yeah, I'd definitely hold in my stomach standing next to Erik.
 
Posting private vacation pics now? Kind of creepy

(Sam is my waifu and I hope she'll be part of E32015 as well)
 
This has to be one of the most stupidest things I ever read, and surprisingly from Kinsei, go figure.

One of these days someone (or me) needs to compile a list of dumb quotes from this user.

doing combos in SF2 is cheating

Seriously though, this doesn't have to be a competition. The users at /v/ did something cool, if some people here want to do the same go ahead, but there's no sense in the whole WE'RE FALLING BEHIND OMG shit.
 
Have we shifted now from complaining about another board daring to talk about video games to bitching about vacation pictures? At least we've moved on to...something.




MORE VACATION PICTURES PLZ
 
I'm confused. I can't accept that these are genuinely kind acts. What am I missing?

Probably some basic human and social elements. I really do like nice things and I could definitely enjoy something like this if it became a habit.
