"if the site is to be successful, it has to grow"

@Null What are the criteria for the site being "successful"? How is it not already successful as an unparalleled archive of lolcows and autism with a dedicated user base?

(I'm a stream behind so go ahead and clock me if somebody's already asked about this.)

Very simple, as with all things important:

Line Go Up.
 
The price of a PS5 is not really comparible to the price of a PC for a lot of reasons, PCs are useful for a multitude of non-gaming/media applications so a higher price tag is justifiable on that premise alone. Online play is free and competitive digital markets make it much easier to find deals on digital games. They are also backward compatible with decades of PC games and capable of emulating games from modern AND retro consoles. I had a multi-paragraph autistic rant all typed up but I deleted that so I can just put it like this - I grew up playing consoles where you could just insert a game, boot up the console, and the game would just fucking work. Those days are looooooong gone and PC has been the superior gaming platform for decades. So an $800 PC is easily justifiable but an $800 console is not.

The Internet is littered with with forums that have single digit weekly post counts, that were alive and thriving until they suddenly weren't.
It's not a case of "any growth is good", look at countries trying to supplement their ailing repopulation rates by importing shitskins, that's an approach failing in real-time. As long as KF is in a position where people with the right disposition can find the forum it will continue to slowly grow, if for no other reason than its existing size and difficulty to replicate elsewhere.

But I think there's an element of obsolescence that happens on the Internet, where if everything else is outpacing you, going through their own eras, you lose a lot of appeal to attract your own catalysts for evolution and maintain the interest/investment of your own users.

I'd be interested if Josh has some combo of internal metric he likes to track specifically or it's more based on feel.

He said he couldn't vote Trump when comparing him with Kamala. Either way, third party aside, this is a highly suspicious move for someone so seemingly concerned with freedom of speech and government overreach. This election is profoundly important and he *should* know that better than anyone. That completely changed my view of Josh. Very shocking.

ETA Idk if it is his need to be contrary regardless of the school of thought and always feel super duper unique and anti social, and if that is the case respect is still lost. Grow the fuck up.
 
the autism voice makes it hard for autistic/low Iq individuals to tell when you're doing a bit I guess jersh.
also if anyone thinks "getting involved with egrifters to appeal to the youth" is a good strategy, I have a ukip membership to sell them.

You are retarded for taking the bit about #LoomerCoomer this seriously.
 
Does anyone have a link to somewhere I can read more about Jersh's claim that the IRS has more income and a bigger budget than the US military? I would really like to read more about that so I can be better informed when I go on anti-IRS rants in the future.

I tried searching "IRS" in this thread but couldn't find any links to anything like that.

It's a an absolutely vital strategy that requires very thorough vetting to assure you don't attach uncharismatic retards like Carl "I wouldn't even rape you" Benjamin, Laura "wet breadussy" Loomer or Steven "there's no solid argument against incest" Bonnel as anchors to sink your party. It's akin to the domestic auto industry trimming their econoboxes because they don't profit as much and wondering why year over year foreign trucks continue to make gains on their turf.

I only got to play it for one month too because my parents figured out it was a subscription model and wouldn't let me use their cards

Boomers, I take it? Mine thought there was no such thing as legitimate online purchases because they didn't understand how their own debit cards worked and thought anything and everything online was a scam. They had no issue handing over their debit cards at some shady little restaurant to be whisked away out of eyesight in person, but some big, reputable company online was 100% a scam because the internet was scary.

physical media is king.

A good rule to have is to only pay money for what you're physically being given, whenever applicable/possible. If you don't own a physical copy of it, then you don't/barely own it; especially if whatever it is connects online and can be disabled by the rights managers like Steam or Amazon. If buying isn't owning, pirating isn't theft. Copyright faggots need to be strung up next to the bankers, CEOs and IRS after legal due process brought about by the ideal revolution.

Basically, sell a working, complete copy of what someone's trying to buy, or they have the right and the moral imperative to pirate it.
 
@Null your take on the PS5 missing disc drive made me a bit MATI. To be exact - I don't give a flying fuck about the nogamestation itself. However bringing up steam as an example of things being right? Can you resell your steam games? Can you play them offline? Can you guarantee they'll work in 20 years time?

I mean how many examples of this shit do you have to forget to be for digital distribution. My GameCube copy of Resi 4 will work until time immemorial. As will all of my SNES or even Switch cartridges. Can't say the same for people who bought digital for PS3 because if their console battery runs out and Sony takes down their NTP servers.. well sucks to suck. Or how about people who had Warcraft 3? Remember how Blizzard fucked over those people?

Physical is the only way to own a game. Digital is lending and in reality has no sense until it's purely DRM free like on GoG, and even then it's only one step removed from simply pirating shit. Which I'll admit is a totally different discussion.

And no, Gameboy carts work fine, it's the *save game* battery that needs changing. Which is a 5 minute job

No, they're plastic, that shit doesn't just rot. The reflective layer oxidizes because it's on the outside layer (on the artwork) instead being in the plastic itself. That was remedied in DVDs and Blurays. And even in CDs you can counteract it
