hell yeah! that spaghetti eating contests sounds awesome af! I join, i already got some in my frige.

I would love to see more tripfagging as it would make us more unquie as a community, but for now there are very few of us. And if I am the only active faggot, i will stand out to much as i guess I already do. But thanks.

I don't see a problem with blogposts and the like, especially because most of them don't break any rules

I'm NEET and have depression. I'm also a mentally ill normalfag virgin.

B-but OP faggot-sama, aren't you also ranting about hating people you dislike? Gh-ghuh~

>aren't you also ranting about hating people you dislike?
No! It was a rant about a certain strain of now-seemingly-absent Heyuri posts, and the rant was posted to the Heyuri board for discussing Heyuri. This is a proper use of Site Discussion@Heyuri

>Link to the thread so I can comment better, but without it,
Ah, thread is gone now, (don't know if it's archived) but I saved some images:https://ibb.co/kMqFjbC

The original thread was actually on some Irish or British site, so I think I misremembered it as opening around 3AM, at which point people would definitely be at home, when in actuality it opened at 3PM. I guess you're right about people just being at work when things went down.

>The exact opposite: it was mainstream (in the sense of normalfag, but the opinion itself was only from a fringe group), especially older people, who were saying that.

I don't think 'the exact opposite' is totally right. Yes, there was normalfag older people who disliked TV on the grounds of its being 'the new thing to hate', but there were also alternative characters who disliked it, for different reasons. Its the same as today. There are countless old people always bitching about phones and social media, since it's the new thing to hate, but we here also dislike them, but for different reasons than the old fogeys.

Heyurizens in 1993 would probably be nostalgic for ARPANet and the punchcard era.

>>5178
Yeah, you can also see it from how the post is formulated: if any of you folk is "AT A" tv. Not if any of you folk "have a" tv. The mention of sky news is another tell: sky news was always a tv channel (well, since 1989).

>but there were also alternative characters who disliked it, for different reasons
I truly don't know of any such account. Maybe that depends on where you lived at the time? I was always into tech and my father was in IT so I had early internet access (~1995). I can't speak for what it was like before 1993, obviously, but I have never encountered an online comment against TV (that wasn't "old man yells at cloud"), inside or outside the mainstream until maybe 2008-2009 or so. At the very least it was a fringe within a fringe, otherwise I would definitely have at least seen mentions.
It would be nice (for historical purposes) if you could find anything to substantiate this idea.
If anyone ITT wants to dig, there's https://archive.org/details/usenet and https://www.usenetarchives.com for usenet and there are a bunch of archives bbs-related material at https://archive.org/details/bbshistory among others.

It would be full of salty old UNIXfags whining about how home PCs ruined everything.

>>5231
Very much doubt it. Rather more likely that there would be OS flamewars. "Ah, unix is such shit! Multics is where it's at!" "lispos where art thou?" "apple has >novents" etc. We're talking 1993, not 1975, here.

You know, mod-sama. Of all of us here on heyuri, you are without doubt the most mysterious of them all... as you are the only one without a real tripfag as I am aware of.

Damn, so it was all build up to ad. Salesmen are scary

People do drama from nothing these days. Anyway funny talk right there.

I been holding on to reply to this, but as a player that "wasted" a good 200 days worth playing Runescape 2, and oldschool RS. It was without a grind to achive some kind of goal. Either it was making money in game to buy cool gear, or it was to achive a certail level for a quest or item. It was fun and pleasing to reach what ever goal I had in mind then. The grinding itself was never really that fun, but it was something you did to have fun. I got 99 mining as first max skill, and it took avout 3-4 months of just click on a rock... It was painful and I spent most of my time watching other things while i did it. Was it fun? NO! But at the same time, Runescape was so attention catching and imersive and so vast in what one could do in the game. It was for me an escape from the real world after all. Just to focus and achiving things as I was a loser in real life after all. In game, I was just me! :3

I can still thinking of wanting to play it, but I wont as I don't have the energy to waste time at it once again.

Whats even more interesting is - people play MMORPG to meet other players and have fun. And, the things I liked about RS was the other players too, however I liked the casual talking. But i never really liked the aspect of having friends to chat with or hang out with. Just as how similiar this is to imgboards. Most of the time I just played and did my own things while time to time just talking with strangers.

Here's a good video about solo in MMO:
https://youtu.be/b2l2ZxNhCSg

Meh. The video does point out some good points about the "type of loner" but the basic point of view (which is why all MMOs are dead) that games must appeal to the lowest common denominator. No! Not all games are for everyone. Don't drive your core audience away, it also causes others to run away (though you don't care, do you? You got your money, you greedy asshole). For example the ridiculously bad points about not being able to make a loner in a singleplayer game (what are NPCs?) or that loners make sense in an MMO (other players end up being literally NPCs, the loner archetype worked only in multiplayer-required MMOs because only then can you solo gank n00bs, become highly valued for your skillset and therefore a loner 'gun for hire', and other shenanigans). Basically the common issue of hasty conclusions. For example, 90% of lurkers don't post because 'people are interesting', or because they're consuming useful contents like jokes or tech information that can't be found anywhere else? He claims the former with no proof. Similarly, pretending that introverts don't like interacting in an MMO is insane. Again with stupid conclusions from incomplete data. It's hilarious because he pointed out just seconds before that introverts use MMOs as a social fulfillment tool for the social they can't get IRL. Why would they do that if they don't see it as different than IRL, and why would they use it if they didn't want to interact?

People who haven't played MMOs before ~2008 don't know what MMOs really are about. After WoW became big, everything became shit because it tried copy-pasting what they thought made WoW good, which is to say they waited until WoW started becoming shit and copied only the shitty features instead of anything good (for example, making the game even MORE soloable than WoW, which still required and encouraged grouping in various ways until they started implementing complete bullshit like dungeon finders and group finders).

This includes various game design problems like making the games soloable at all, and even worse: making the game more efficient while playing alone, especially combined with "the game only starts at max level" retardation. This combined just as well as you'd expect with trash like discord, turning MMOs into ghost towns. Now they're all massively singleplayer online (MSO) games, no longer MMOs. MSOs can (rarely) be fun in their own right, but they aren't even remotely the same thing. Both osrs and runescape2 unfortunately fall in this bin, for example (the original runescape didn't, but osrs, while it started as an old build and thus the same as old runescape, very quickly started piling on features from nuRunescape, making osrs no longer anything like the good stuff).

On a separate note, ever played disgaea games? I think you'd probably love them. Couple it with some chat program to get your occasional chat while playing for an experience you would surely enjoy.

I found this thread-relevant essay by Andy Gavin, who was a core developer at Naughty Dog in the crash bandicoot/jak & daxter days.
https://all-things-andy-gavin.com/2012/10/29/wow-endgames-vanilla/
He looks fondly on the WoW endgame despite noting how torturous a lot of it was. More interestingly, I think, is the first paragraph pointing out right away how leveling to max was basically a singleplayer game. Continuing this thread's discussion, this is what most people at large mean when they say WoW killed videogames.
His comments discussing the size of the world and zones and the prettyness of them and such is, on the other hand, examples of things WoW did really well, even beyond its peers, that nobody else copied (even though they should, because to be honest, that's the real reason people played until they got to max level).

>>5131
I'm interested in this approach of yours, but frankly I'm half retarded. Do you think you can explain in detail how to evaluate philosophy by 'running simulations'?

>>5195
You can use or write various software like in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei_jS-SLWb8
or the videos from this series:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goePYJ74Ydg
Those are more focused on social dynamics simulation but the same basic principle applies.

Taking my example again with the definition of evil, you can simulate actors in the environment that systematically perform evil actions in various proportions, and measure the overall welfare of the species after X simulation steps, much like in the beard example. This way, you can determine if there is alignment between the definition of evil proposed in the philosophy, and the listing of evil actions that are proposed in the philosophy. Another example: you can measure if stability really is achieved in a moral corruption simulation, as machieveli suggested.

Another facet of this kind of simulation is that you can measure how closely the behavior observed based on the philosophical premises proposed adhere to real life behavioral observations. For example, you can simulate a world where everyone is born evil and adapt the simulation in an attempt to make it coherent with real life observations. In the end, you obtain a parsimonious sampling of the models most likely to fit real life, and/or that have the greatest social welfare satisfaction rate, or whatever other metric you are interested in.

Computer simulation is the easiest way to do it and there are several software suites you can find to help set up basic simulations of that kind. Of course you can always use pen and paper and solve differential equations, or use tools from the operational research literature (simplex, waiting lines, inventory profit, and stochastic processes are especially relevant) and model the actors this way.

I think I read it in a Micheal Crichton book. (Disclosure)

One of the characters said, about backlash to the feminist movement (circa 1993)

"The rules changed for the men, and they didn't like it. Well soon enough the rules will start changing for the women, and they won't like it either."

Incel is not a philosophy. The first post itt has it right. Also please keep these threads to other venues like 4chan or something.

This thread was started two years ago, there's no point complaining about people violating a rule that probably wasn't made yet.

Yeah, sorry, I realized too late. That said it shouldn't have been bumped now that the rules are in place. Already in 2022 some people were (rightfully) asking for it as can be seen earlier in this thread.

Vidlii was always an eyesore to me, and I always mentioned that. The only good things on there are Heyurian contributions.

I think the rule 8 on vidlii is inevitable, and I also don't think they should just outright ban everything. I think if anything we should post more good content to even things out. But the fact that the video got promoted by the admins of the site, that's what pissed me off

>>5080
A mix of comments and threads
Wiby isn't actually evil, but it indexes mostly sites that represent everything wrong with the nuWeb. Not, I think, due to deliberate intentions, but because people who are interested in things like wiby submit those kinds of sites for indexing.

We should all band together and send hate on that featured video.

We should all band together and beg kagunya~~ to make a rule 8-based vidlii clone

When we talk about a web revival I think we ought to think a bit more about what specifically we want.

I think a good example of how I wish things could be is something like this article; 'The Dream That Died: The Late 1980s Television Show Reunion Movies' : www.kevinmccorrytv.ca/reunion.html

For one thing, it is about a very niche topic. '80s reunion movies of '70s TV shows. How many people would write about that specific thing? This is the sort of thing that comes out when an author pays no mind to any 'hype-train' or 'pleaseing the algorithm'. It has an 'out-of-left-field' feeling, which is pleasing, like picking a random book off of a library shelf, or stumbling upon a magazine article, and finding yourself surprised as you go from knowing nothing about the topic to feeling fairly well-versed.

Another thing, it's actually well written. It's a proper sort of essay, not some rambling mess with loads of self-effacing apologies sprinkled in about the quality of the writing. It has a point. It starts of as being about a very niche topic, and is explained in such detail that it becomes a generalized cultural review. The writer sprinkles in great insights, about how the landscape of American television changed over the years, how "Television of the 1960s and 1970s had a whimsical, fantastic quality, encouraging viewers to suspend disbelief, to stretch imagination, to use their own discretion in explaining, or in not explaining and just accepting", and how,"In the push for absolute believability and gritty realism, the innocently wondrous quality of the 1960s and 1970s slowly died through the 1980s, and by 1990, it was essentially gone." He leads you thru the history of this period, and it's eventual decline, and finally makes the point that "These reunion movies, though of often dubious imagination, were the last gasp of fanciful television before the realistic mediocrity of the later 1980s and the 1990s conquered the televised airwaves."

Something else that's great is how the author puts information first throughout. There is no, as has been said, "special snowflake delusions on one end and "scandal du jour" on the other", just discussion about the topic at hand. This must seem easy to do while talking about movies and TV shows, but of course, people get serius bizness about everything nowadays. when I read other articles on the Net about entertainment, there are always useless asides into how the main actor is an asshole in real life or how this movie fits into everyone's little political power-games.

This last one is kind of a minor thing, but I like the academic, even-keeled, sort of writing style. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with a bit of l33tspeak and a bit of rageposting, but nowadays there's way too much of both. The fact is, a lot of people online write exactly like 20-year old girls do. Both grammatically and with the same sort of 'I-am-so-smart' aura of self-satisfaction. The other day I was reading an article where the writer made a critique of the inauthenticity of old comissioned portraits. One thing that kept distracting me was the forced 'conversational' quality of the writing. You've probably encountered it; vapid ineloquence, loads of TMI and overopinionatedness, attempts at humour which always fall flat. The writer in this article kept referring to these portraits as being 'cringe'. Even the art curator/historian they talked to referred to the paintings as 'cringe'. I don't know how they expected me to take them seriously as art critics when they'd go for such lame attempts at being 'hip'.

>When we talk about a web revival I think we ought to think a bit more about what specifically we want.
Agreed. On that topic I think another important aspect is to preserve the quality more so than the content or style, that is to say: don't get hung up on the past and look toward the future. The past is a good guide for what works and doesn't and should enlighten future endeavors, but it's not productive to try to reproduce it per se.

>This is the sort of thing that comes out when an author pays no mind to any 'hype-train' or 'pleaseing the algorithm'.

Yes, and I think this is key. Everyone is doing things for clout or money or both, but to play devil's advocate for a second, it's probably a product of the times as well: while the sociopolitical background is one thing that obviously influences people's minds and actions, unfortunately, the other pillar is the economy. Things are harder than ever for just about everyone, economic mobility is at its lowest in a long, long time, and starting with millenials and continuing beyond, it seems that each generation is bound to get less than its predecessors even with far more effort, for the first time since industrialization (and beyond that, the dark ages). Therefore, I believe people are increasingly trying to do their best to "carve out a piece of the pie", and this coupled with the sociopolitical and social media-based environment we're in, has poisoned people's mind and turned them into husks who forgot they are individuals and shouldn't be afraid to be so. Instead of finding themselves, they're busy trying to find a get rich quick scheme under the premise that they can find themselves after that. As a result, the signal to noise ratio on the web has collapsed, but it also has in real life.

>,"In the push for absolute believability and gritty realism, the innocently wondrous quality of the 1960s and 1970s slowly died through the 1980s, and by 1990, it was essentially gone."
Hitchcock said something about this in interviews. Early on he was obsessed with realism as well, but later he realized this was probably a mistake: there's no need to give background reasons for a character to be in the current moment onscreen. You can invent all kinds of reasons for the sake of the film, but it doesn't serve to help engage the viewer or anything like that. So he started dialing down his search for this kind of "perfect realism", if I recall correctly what I read.

>This last one is kind of a minor thing, but I like the academic, even-keeled, sort of writing style.

My exact thoughts on this topic.

I think efforts like rule 8 can help purify the userbase, which in turn can purify the minds of those who stick around and use other venues less, because immersion impacts perception. But it's not enough and it's not outlined well enough for a generic framework. In the meantime, for a web renaissance, the key aspect is, of course, creation, but after that there needs to be discoverability. I would also like to propose that another problem is 'archivability' or 'lifespan', but this is better solved with technology than social dynamics, and is probably not urgent/will "solve itself" if the social dynamics are sorted out.

That said I find it hard to more formally described what's needed to achieve the critical point where a web renaissance effort would be able to simply self-sustain and start growing on its own.

Reposting something I posted to Strange World in November 2021:

I liken it to the Renaissance - digging through ancient ruins and dusty 
old documents written in foreign languages to discover their ways, all 
in the hopes to find new wisdom, technology, avenues for creativity, 
and bringing about a cultural rebirth after a long and troublesome 
Medieval age where much had been lost or forgotten ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
