Support NeoGAF

[Acquiescence]

If I received a 'thank you gift' from 4chan, I'd likely don an anti-contamination suit before handling it.

My calendar says Bill Trinen's birthday is August 21st.

Just saying.

Man begged for a card in the Tomodachi Direct.

 

[flatearthpandas]

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.

 

[Captain Europe]

Awww, that's sweet!

Why do people gotta turn everything into a negative thing.

We should one up them and make a collage of his face out of everyone's avatars.

That'll show those jerks for being so darned sweet.

Where is Nate?!

Good to see Nintendo embrace the basement community I guess.

 

[Zelias]

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.

How does a thread about a thank you card get to this point?

It's funny isn't it, I don't understand the hate towards a thankyou card regardless of who it's from.

 

[MCN]

Awww, that's sweet!

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.

Have you missed the vile shit that was the thread about the pic of Miyamoto playing Mario Maker with some kids at E3?

 

[gorfyako]

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.

I dont know what you are talking about

 

[Matriox]

This thread was love at the beginning and has now turned into hate.

Godwin's Law.

I mean it's not really uncommon for some people on GAF to turn anything positive into a shitfest. That was just one example, this thread is another.

 

[Woffls]

This is a REALLY LOVELY gesture. Thank you 4chan, and thank you Nintendo Treehouse.

LOVELY.

 

[Brutalitops]

4chan is awesome. Fug da haters

Also a very nice gesture

That's a big card

Spoiler

for you

 

[axisofweevils]

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.

 

[Dr. Buni]

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.

 

[wildfire]

They think the same of NeoGAF.

PRICELESS

 

[Kater]

That's so nice of them!

Kudos to the 4chan people.

 

[QaaQer]

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.

A shit post is a shit post.

And the beauty of an imageboard is you can scroll past those posts.

 

[Waylon Drums]

That main treehouse guy is way too attractive.

 

[vareon]

Cool. There's no way Treehouse's not doing this next year then lol.

 

[Ivan 3414]

I think GAF might be having a bit of an existential crisis...

 

[Samurai_Heart]

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 =/

 

[Crayons]

/v/ talks more about video games than GAF does


And that's saying something

 

[AcademicSaucer]

That main treehouse guy is way too attractive.

why did you feel the need to share that with us when people here are trying to prove that we are better than 4chan ?

I could have watched these three all night.

Yeah, I'd definitely hold in my stomach standing next to Erik.

 

[not_so_special]

The mere fact this bothers you at all, says that you are one of the "fanboys" you are preaching against. You were just on the wrong side of this one and it hurts to see your enemies happy. Grow the fuck up.

oh boy...talking about bothering anyone...calm down dude

Posting private vacation pics now? Kind of creepy

Sounds like bull to me. I can't remember the last time Hitler or Nazis was mentioned in a thread, if ever.

WHY ARE YOU POSTING VACATION PICTURES!?

That's so nice.

I'm wondering where he got them myself.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

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.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Oh my. :lol

*perched*

 

[Prototype Viktor]

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

That /v/ is mocking Nintendo about them knowing the internet existing by printing out a page of it?

 

[Waylon Drums]

Since you quoted me, I had already posted in the thread earlier to say what an awesome gesture the card is. People had already moved on to a broader topic, though.

[Waylon Drums]

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

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.

This thread about /v/ is reaching some crazy levels of irony.

Love, then hate, then creeper pics.
