When the community left Reddit, did it just stop giving a shit about gaming?
To my eye this all looks identical to Gab and Voat and Poal and maybe even late-era Saidit. All sites where the general opinion is that video games are for faggots.

This is not a gaming forum, that would be c/gaming.
This is a culture war forum. KIA was never really about games, it was about how Kotaku had become completely political. KIA is the other side of that coin.
OP likely wouldn't make it there because we don't tolerate leftoid bullshit and picking fights. Which is the only thing his account has on it.
you don't tolerate a lot of right-wing stuff either, to be fair.
Ah, there you are. Wasn't me that banned you by the way, but I do recall that last time we spoke I told you not to become the Imp of complaining about sexualization. You'd done well up until yesterday.
We expressly do not permit filth. And while I personally will not be playing Pragmata because they had the gall to use a troon to advertise it, the game itself seems harmless at worst. I saw your argument that the perverts like the kid robot character, but to me that seems pointless because the perverts think that children simply existing is sexual. Twisting around in knots trying to avoid whatever they think is a losing argument. It puts you on the back foot and rather than advancing a positive agenda you're being entirely too reactive. Especially against such inconstant hydras as the left.
i get your argument, but i still think trying to take "small wins," of which there are none to be found in PRAGMATA as it's certainly worked more against us than for us (especially coming from a company that already engages with satanic leftist shit like you pointed out) isn't nearly as worth it as actually going out there, starting our own studios, and getting the big wins. anyway, w/e.
really i just think it's gay i got banned over a really milquetoast observational comment. it's a long way between me and mr reee stormcuck woman cultist!! imp.
So, I'd point out that literally everyone in the sub who talked about playing it, pirated it. There's no loss there.
Quite incorrect, almost suspiciously so.
The old mod was doxxed by furry perverts, resigned and tried to give it to them but the admins revoked it, and then the sub was left unmoderated for over a year until being given to me and two other volunteers because it was being spammed with pedophilia.
c/gaming is for talking about games. It is not for leftoid speech policing, it is not for perverts, and it is not for picking fights because the people there don't follow your warped worldview.
You could post about vidya, handshake. I can't help but notice that you chose not to.
They're getting so lazy they don't even age their accounts anymore.
Sigh, we need downvotes back...
Modern games are 99% trash, there's only so much we can complain about them before moving on to talk about the woke politics behind it and then the people behind the woke politics. ConsumeProduct started by mocking consumerism and hasn't been about products for very long time.
Oh look another concern troll faggot.
The removal of down votes has hurt this forum.
Modernity killed gaming so most people are mad at modernity and thus post about what killed gaming rather than gaming.
How strange that "modernity" boils down to constantly, obsessively saying the exact same shit about the exact same group that people were all saying in 1700.
What's strange is that it continues to be completely true. Our ancestors were right and we should have listened to them.
Nah, they weren't right. They tried going down the Murder Fucking Everybody route, and after it was over the overwhelming sentiment was Jesus Fucking Christ what have we done we're all fucking monsters and I don't know how we're gonna live with ourselves.
But with 80 years to lose perspective, kids are finding it fun and edgelordy to go back to it.
And, whatever, fun is fun, free speech is good. It just fucking sucks when's so obsessive that it drives out every other fucking topic.
Given what not listening to them has wrought, you are objectively wrong. Had they succeeded, we'd be living in a better, safer, healthier, more prosperous, more Christian world than we have today.
You of course object to that. For a reason that I'm sure is not an obvious ulterior motive.
Well, I certainly don't want a more Christian world, given that I'm an atheist and I think Christianity is fully retarded.
I've got no dog in the Jew fight, except that I actually know Jewish people and they're, you know, exactly like everybody else. Meaning: mostly assholes, a few are cool.
I just think it's a fucking shame that GamerGate today is just five weird fuckers memeing about how much they hate the Joos.
In other words, you're a useful idiot being used by Jews.
No shit...
I'm guessing you don't?
Of course you're an enemy. I already said as much, after all.
Yes, Kaarous, 99.5% of the human race is your enemy, and that must be overwhelmingly lonely.
I'm not going to get up your ass about that: it's your perfect right to believe whatever dumb shit you want to believe.
But spending your life compulsively spamming gaming communities with that same dumb shit is the very height of faggotry.
An atheist carrying water for the tribe. No dog in the judenkampf but staunchly anti-Christian. Funny how that always works.
If it's "carrying water" to say I don't give a shit about your hate-memes and I find them repetitive and annoying, then sure, I guess.
I wouldn't want to see five anti-Christian memes a day, either. Unlike some people, I don't have some masturbatory need to regularly see my worldview confirmed to me in meme form.
Wow, tell me you have a public school education without telling me...
Did they murder all the French, despite being long time enemies? Nope, in fact the French were happier being occupied by them than by the Americans.
Did they murder all the Poles, Czechs, and Ukrainians when they occupied those countries? Nope, that was the Bolsheviks.
Did they murder Jews, gypsies, and retards? Even if you buy the propaganda, apparently not enough to stop them from founding an entire country and having enough people left over to cripple Germany with "reparation" payments for the next 80 years.
So yeah, nothing to do with "losing perspective", just realising that not only was the "perspective" always made up BS, but the people who pushed it on us are now also using our own media to advocate for our cultural suicide.
But, as an enlightened atheist, I'm sure you're fine with that...
Propaganda? JFC, there are still people who were alive when it all went down. There are hundreds - thousands - of first-person eyewitness reports.
I guess someone born in 1948 could be forgiven for not getting that, because there was no Internet and no easy way to communicate with other people.
And I guess someone born in 2010 could be forgiven for not getting that, because they're teenagers and teenagers are stupid.
But if you were born anywhere in between those years, I cannot for the life of me figure out what must be wrong with you if you think none of it happened.
Yeah, there are. Stuff like "I was put in a cage with an eagle and a bear" or "I walked backwards and they let me go" or "I was transferred six times between death camps". Minecarts that tipped prisoners into incinerators. Masturbation machines. There are exactly as many first-person accounts as there are people who survived to collect free money from the state for the rest of their natural lives.
What there is not is actual reports, orders, or objective evidence. Which is weird because their encryption was cracked nearly three years before the end of the war and, wouldn't you know it, the Allies never intercepted anything about specifically eradicating the prison population, or any identifiable population, for that matter. The reports we do have, like Red Cross inspections of the camps, indicate both that the numbers were exagerated by an order of magnitude and that there was no specific attempt at extermination. This is supported by the fact that nowhere near 6 million bodies were recovered and it is logistically impossible for them to have been completely destroyed. Oh, and every single "death camp", as opposed to regular POW camp, was liberated by the Soviet Union, then being run by (((Bolshevik))) communists who just happened to be the first country in the world to criminalise anti-semetism...
There are also horrifying pictures, several of which weren't fabricated after the fact, of hordes of starving prisoners. In "death camps". Because, apparently, they were sitting around for months waiting their turn. Must be that legendary German efficiency... Or maybe the Allies bombed the supply lines to the POW camps months before liberating them?
You seem to be operating under the impression that we're speaking out of ignorance. In reality, I was saying exactly what you are saying now not 10 years ago. I changed my mind because of new facts that had been kept from me, not because I'm missing info or can't reason.
I have little doubt that the reason you "can't for the life of me figure out" why we don't agree with you has more to do with your ignorance than ours.
Assuming you aren't just a bad faith shill, which I'm not yet convinced of. But given you use such a normie argument, I suppose it's possible you're being sincere.
Untrue. Dick Winters, Don Malarkey, and Babe Heffron are three of the most famous counterexamples. They were three of the men who liberated a Dachau subcamp as part of their service with Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. They gave specific and consistent details about the hellscape they saw there. So you think they're all fucking liars?
Where do you think I first heard it from? One side of my family, after being forced at gunpoint by the Red Army to chose which of their children went into the stewpot(because the commies were cannibals among other things), were also forced to help fake mass graves by the very same. I was hearing it from my grandparents when I was five, dickhead.
The so called Holocaust was the people the Reds butchered as they marched to Berlin.
[edit: Imp got really mad at this comment. 2 DMs and counting of screeching, frothing rage.
And a link on c/feminism
Well done! LMAO
Ah, I see, so because the Red Army butchered German civilians, the Germans couldn't have possibly butchered millions of undesirables; after all, it's impossible for two things to be true at the same time.
I try to post about nerdy stuff/gaming since smarter people than myself have the political or societal lanes, but I’m not up on the newer stuff so it would be older. I haven’t posted in a bit so I’ll think of something to post soon.
I try to give some diversity to the "Jews! Jews Did It" posting that's so common. Funny, interesting or quality political topics. I try to keep the catgirl posts to a minimum 😸
Maybe 1 post a week on average? Probably less.
That’s good. I figured there are enough posts about the other topics so why not some fun nerdy discussion
The older stuff is better anyway. If you wanted to start a thread discussing one of the classics or a hidden gem most people missed, I bet it would go over well.
Good idea
Communities evolve over time though.
Apparently in this case, because everyone who even knew what Kotaku was threw up their hands and left when it just turned into the generic snarky hate group that the feminists had been accusing it of being.
Look at this guy caring what feminists think, lol
The old KIA cared about their reputation somewhat. They thought it would be nice to be taken seriously. This incarnation obviously gave up on that long ago.
You're free to exit any time. Nobody's got a gun to your head.
Not sure why you'd want to sully your good name with us undesirables, anyway.
Yeah, it's not about reputation. It's just that when you cruise on over to what KIA became, and you find nothing about video games, just eight anti-Jew memes a day, it's like: well this is a fucking disappointment. Not only is it boring and entirely pointless, but back when all the feminists were saying "GamerGate's just Neo-Nazis using gaming as an excuse to be Neo-Nazis," well... way to prove 'em right?
It's because negative posts get more traction quicker than good news and being negative constantly about your hobbies does degrade your enjoyment.
I'm just glad I only mention Anime every 4 months, there is worthy criticism in gaming, don't get me wrong, but when we can only talk about a game like Pragmata in 'look at the insane leftists calling everyone enjoying it pedophiles' than 'look at this game that has a positive father/daughter relationship and fun gameplay', you can see why there's a lack of gaming on here despite our name.
Well, that's because it is. What don't you understand that Scored isn't anything else but another clone.
I guess I'm coming around to understanding it. It's just so fucking disappointing that there are only two forums on the entire Internet.
There's the corporate "We're your mom and we'll control every word you say, now play on the playground but not too boisterously, children" forum.
And then there's the "Joos joos joos I hate the jooooooos and my personality is joooooos" forum.
And... absolutely literally nothing else. I guess there are exactly two people in the world and everyone's just a clone of one or the other.
Do yourself a favor: Get off the web and go outside. I only bothered to respond to the posts in this forum today from a quick glance. I don't plan on spending any more time here today. The 'internet' is ubiquitous now. I've been online since the early 90's. I've seen everything there is to see. Everything else is psy-ops and propaganda.
And no, you won't find anything useful on this site. If you want to learn, hit the library, not KIA2.
I always think it's funny when people's advice is "go outside." Sure, I can go outside. Then I'd be: outside. I can touch grass. I can roll around in it and rip it up by the roots and shove it down my pants. Then, what: I've achieved enlightenment? People are fucking weird.
Maube you'll be able to stop throwing hissy fits every ten minutes?
Okay, so "go outside" isn't really about doing yourself a favor. It's just another way to phrase "go away, I don't like you." Makes sense.
The point is to focus on things in the real world that have more substance, are better for you and matter more than anything an ordinary person can do online
Like what? Pickleball? Basketweaving? These activities are superior and more productive than anything you can do with the aid of a computer and an Internet connection?
You could go suck a dick instead of watching other dudes do it on your screen.
I would say those ways of entertaining yourself or making things are superior to entertainment or making things while unhealthily sat in a chair glued to a screen, yes. In the real world you can do lots of other far more useful things too like raise children or start a club.
"It's only anti-Semitism gets these concern trolling posts here." -me, repeatedly
You could have stopped at "It's only anti-Semitism." I mean, what else even is there on Scored. Apparently a little sprinkle of "I hate niggers and jeets" and a little sprinkle of "women have too many rights" and that's the whole site.
You only complain about anti-Semitism though. Curious.
I still like video games.
I'm looking forward to Far Far West tomorrow. The playtests were great. It's not an outstanding fantastic amazing game, but the gameplay is fun, and the weapons and skills are fun.
And it's going to be about 20 bucks. Early Access, though, if that scares you off. Give it a few months. You probably have a backlog to get to anyway.
If you don't ... teach me how?
My backlog's fairly small right now. I keep finding myself browsing Steam, feeling distinctly uninspired, and saying "fuck it, I'll play Rimworld for a couple hours."
I did just finish Esoteric Ebb. It was... all right. One of those spiritual successors to Disco Elysium that just makes you wish Disco Elysium 2 had been able to exist. But it's probably the best spiritual successor to DE... for what that's worth.
Far Far West looks aight. I don't really enjoy co-op. Makes me feel like I'm at work.
One of the reasons is that whenever someone tries to talk about a game they like, there's always someone else trying to AMOG the sub by coming into shit talk about how only cucks like that game or similar drivel. There are more people here who like being curmudgeonly assholes to other about gaming than like gaming itself anymore. It's mostly just a 'look how based I am for not liking this thing you like' virtue signal.
And that's when the thread just isn't about Jews, which 90%+ of the threads seem like they are. This site turned into mini-stormfront a long time ago. It's actually one of the reasons why the traffic on this site is so low. Even cucked reddit half-KiA gets like 50 times more traffic than here because they actually do still enjoy gaming and talking about their hobbies. This site is basically a tiny handful of spiteful spergs just stewing in misery and bile and it's well past the chance of ever being anything else.
