Firstly, I am a longtime RPG forum veteran. Having been a user at RPG sites, such as. GameBanshee, NeoSeeker, NoMutantsAllowed and of course rpg watch. So when I say I am fairly well versed in the quality and merits of what makes GOOD "rpg discussion". Rather then, what make an RPG forum infact utter tripe.

When I was a young lad. I registered on this site henceforth been known as RPG Codex. Firstly I was shocked, apalled, nay, even dsigusted by the general lack of monocled debat on this website. The whole of the site seemed to assume, that as an educated gamer and RPG veteran. I would be content with simply reading angry about females in plate armor or how Joe Biden is actually a jew lizard people. At first as I made my way into GD and realized I had just clicked the wrong forum. I was disgusted. Nevertheless I decided to press onward through General RPG Discussion. However, Every thread I happened across had exactly the same raving about Black people anime girls and sex comments as the GD threads. The site was completely covered in muti-headed dicks hitting ass and leg oh gawd it was heavan

Each poster I encountered had so artistic soul or creativity into their personality. They were simply empty shells there for dumb one-liners and retardred-reactions. Nevertheless I pushed forward into this "forum" of sorts. When I happened upon a chance exchange-of-views encounter. I quickly discovered to my horror how awful the posting actually was. You simply shout shit at everything you dislike, which is everything! Of course how genius!. This coupled with the general poor literacy of the posters, coupled with the absolutely dreary admins. In my expert opinion this forum is clearly going down the toilet.

In conclusion; I find it extremely fitting that the forum is covered in turd emojis. Shit posters of course use shit emojis, if anyone is unaware of this. Is there perhaps anyone willing to debate or challenge this site based upon its true virtues? Or are RPG Codex users only capable of reacting with emoji's. It's quite comincal indeed that this absolute tripe of a forum has such a simple minded following.

As I have said before; RPG Codex is UTTER Tripe.

Stop being a drama queen. Nobody's forcing you to remain on the 'dex if you don't enjoy being here.

Failed a perception check.

This educational segment will teach everyone about the merits of tripe.

RPG Codex is indeed utter tripe

The whole idea of it is edginess over quality. You could discard like half of all subforums and the site wouldnt suffer from it.
90% of the experience is just searching thread and then doing a banal shitpost that takes 5 seconds.

In the beginning you think that its because of the lack of buttons but later on when you have buttons, tags and gd access you find out that you can now just post shittier.

A whole generation of people signed into the site and picked up on Darth Roxor's edginess to try to fit in.

They all however forgot the part where you actually play and enjoy some RPGs at some stage.

Instead it's just circlejerking about politics and speculating about RPGs that aren't getting released until 2023 in 200 page threads.

Aka alternative Resetera, where nobody has any fun they just make giant threads about politics they don't like and speculate over PR trailers the latest Kickstarter released, and early access announcements.

Very few posters seem to be actually playing any currently released games and talking about them.

All the posters who seemed to actually play and enjoy RPGs like Fairfax and Abu Antar clearly moved on to greener pastures.

My essay on why RPGs suck.

RPGs suck because they aren't like Call of Duty. Call of Duty is fun. I had fun playing Call of Duty and I like to call people idiots on the Internet. I also like to shout at people on XBox Live.

This post may or may not have anything to do with the content in the quote!

Exaggeration. I think we all enjoy RPGs, it's just that trolling or talking about politics is more fun than having the same discussions over and over. We've even had several posters who've created their own games or teamed up up with other people here to do so, so it's hard to say there aren't genuine RPG fans here.

I say this having been on this site since 2003.

ResetEra does this because they're brainwashed. All they care about is their SJW cult and they just use games as an excuse to shill it. Their passion for games is nearly non-existent and their passion for gay communist bullshit is all-consuming.

It's a little different from a forum full of men who have loved playing games for decades and also happen to have opinions on politics.

I think you assume RPG Codex politics posters care less about their political views than the ResetEra guys.

I strongly, strongly doubt that the Donald Trump sub-forum feels any less strongly about their beliefs than ResetEra feels about defending trans rights.

Both go the extra mile, the only difference is DU doesn't ban Scruffy and Crispy.

idk, most posters on the codex seem like Kruno, who hasn't posted in a thread about an RPG this decade looking at his post history.

The "90% of my posts are in politics or sitefeedback circlejerks, 10% *might* involve some sort of video game" demographic definitely seems to be the plurality.

Clearly not the majority though, because there are heaps of people who just come for the Europa Universalis MMXXI thread

Hey, fuck right off. Kruno got me interested in Scarlet Nexus just a few weeks ago and I got to enjoy a cool game for over 40 hours.
And he's got good manners above all!

No, it's not the degree of care. It's the fact that Politics users also care about RPGs and FTMP aren't cult members who want to force their views on others, even to the point of trying to strong arm game developers.

They may bring them up all the time and joke about them inappropriately, but they aren't trying to organize a boycott because Chris Avellone won't write them a Nazi waifu the way ResetEra pushes trannies etc.

I strongly, strongly doubt that the Donald Trump sub-forum feels any less strongly about their beliefs than ResetEra feels about defending trans rights.
I seriously doubt more than 5 people post in that forum anymore. Who cares?

Kruno is having a good day when he's taking his meds and not spamming your profile with bestiality porn. Not really the best example.

Some of us have been here for nearly 20 years. Consider that we might occasionally want to do other things besides talk about video games we've replayed dozens of times and even if we don't talk about them, we can still play them.

E.g., I've been playing BG3 lately. I made one post about it.

The codex is the equivalent of The Great Filter, instead of destroying civilizations, it destroys brilliant young minds to make sure they will never have the time or inclination to actually play RPGs
