the good generals are constant discussion about game mechanics, advice for newbros and vets disussing advanced stuff. Not my fault you went to a meme general like sc2 or LoL

>>380847190
This. Take /ck/ for example. Overall, a fun board with varied threads but even /ck/ has an avatarfag general thread here or there, like "dirty one dollar bill guy's foodblog".

>>380847364

Maybe a couple of years ago. /ck/ got hit harder by the redneck normie invasion than most boards.

>>380845714
From what I've seen it's mostly an MMO thing. But aside from that, that's sort of what happens when you try to contain conversation about a game to one thread, eventually people start whoring themselves out in an attempt to sort of carve a personality out of themselves so people recognize them by name.

And without fail, eventually some retards bite, and then won't shut the fuck up about them and act like they're some in-crowd.

/vg/ is better if the game has a community. I like persona general and World of Tanks general.

>>380853314

haha

>>380852597
Because popular games are usually filled with normies and casuals which leads to shitposting and unpopular games are often ruled by autists or people passionate about the game, resulting in actual discussion.

I like the idea of adding thread-specific temporary IDs to /vg/.
I think thread IDs reduce shitposting (and flags increase it).
