/v/ - Video Games

Used to be good, stopped being good a long time ago.

I think I played it at some point but can't actually remember like some kind of vague tumor on my mind.

it's never been appealing to me

there's something about the way the klansman moves in this gif that always makes me chuckle

Liked it as a kid, back when you didn't have to pay money for the games.

>>15402436

Why do you ask?

Only thing the game was good for was "tycoons" which were more or less proto-idle games with chatrooms.

Isn't Blockland dead?

>>15402573

I mean it still exists, it just doesn't get any content updates anymore and nobody gives a shit about it. It hit its peak around '06-09. The appeal for many was that it was basically tribes with legos, but then they got rid of terrain maps removing half the fun from the game: Skating.

OOF

>>15402436

OOF!!

I played back in 2007. It was jow I met many of my current Steam friends. Back then it was fun, but it became extremely cancerous very fast. Go to the Games page these days and count how many RP servers there are. That's what killed the game.

Used to play, then got permabanned in 2009 for calling someone a faggot. Not upset about it, the current state of the game is pure cancer from all the RP, forced body shapes and new animations trying too hard to be cool.

Use invidio.

>>15414779

I wasn't sure if it was supported yet

It became cancer ever since a lot of cool games died and tix got removed.

>0 players on Rocket Arena

feels bad man

Go fuck yourself, invidious is shit placebo for retards just like hooknosetube before it. Better you embed the Youtube directly if you're too fucking lazy or dumb to "make" a webm in 3 seconds with youtube-dl

>>15415623

What a fucking gay image but I'll bite. Sites like hooktube and invidious are not proxies, you can see in the requests that the videos are still loaded from google's servers. Therefore they are objectively worse for your privacy than using Youtube directly, as when you use them, both Google and god knows whoever hosts these sites can track what you are watching. They are worse than placebo, you are giving up your history to entities that are even less accountable than Google.

They should never have been allowed as embeds. Webms are the only true way to protect privacy and deny views.

>they are objectively worse for your privacy than using Youtube directly

This is fucking wrong.

Yes, all hooktube and invidious does is point to the raw storage where the video is located.

But it being worse than youtube direct? ur fucking retarded.

also, invidious unlike hooktube can be acessed without javashit or any tracking headers enabled.

But it's probably better to just use a real vpn and a youtube-dl bind.

>They should never have been allowed as embeds. Webms are the only true way to protect privacy and deny views

I will agree here, embeds are fucking cancer and i'd rather not load thumbnails or images from jewgle.

The real point to this is, you don't fucking need to use embeds even.

You don't even need to convert the video yourself

Youtube is the ones that started the whole webm shit because they needed to save on storage costs

So obviously these faggots save most of their shit in WEBM format.

All you have to do is youtube-dl -F and combine the audio and video of the webm tracks and that's fucking it.

Now, for filesize and best conversion obviously it's no good.

But when it comes to share videos without leaving direct links it's the best way.

jesus christ use a vpn if youre worried about tracking you nigger

It's a damn shame when sperging ruins stuff like this.

The storage is Google's, meaning they can track your request straight to your computer.

>also, invidious unlike hooktube can be acessed without javashit or any tracking headers enabled.

I'll give you that, javascript is cancer, but the tracking itself still exists, the thumbnail itself being straight from youtube proves that.

Never embed shit. Always post webms or at least text links if you're that much of a lazy faggot.

>>15422587

im just gonna embed youtube until this site does, let autists screech

>>15422591

If you're going to be a faggot and embed there's pretty much no difference between embedding youtube and letting Google track you and embeding Invidious and letting Google track you.

Go right ahead and enjoy the (you)s.

>shitpost

It's a fact.

It's too bad Second Life was more popular than this.

SL is dead as fuck now though.

The only good thing to ever come out of Roblox is "oof".

I played it in 2010 when apparently it was already shit, but I had fun with a couple of maps. There was some shooter with destructible environment and another game which gave you the tools you needed to build vehicles. But the one I played the most was Space Explorers. It's a sandbox game which gives you building tools, spaceships and a couple of planets that you can reach within minutes. I used to copy all the building blocks onto a spaceship and fly to some distant planet and start building stuff there, which usually impressed the other kids who found them. I usually managed to avoid griefers because the retards didn't move away from the spawn planet, but it still happened occasionally, which was fucking infuriating. I figured out how to build functional doors and exploit the physics to build fast rail systems, which I thought was the coolest shit. I also used to build inside secret areas and made them look cozy, and it was fun surprising the other players who managed to find them. I even bought some VIP shirt for that map so I could always have access to more building blocks, and helped some other players obtain them too. That shit cost me 8 days worth of tickets. Speaking of that, I even made some template websites on free domains so I could paste some referral link on them and earn more daily tickets to convert them into shekels, so I could buy retarded items for my character.

I logged into my account a couple years back and joined a space explorers server so I could reminisce about the autistic stuff I used to do. To my surprise, I found the map creator on there doing the same thing, and we talked for a couple of minutes about the game, you can imagine how nostalgic that was.

I've had more fun with this game than it should be allowed, mainly because of the multiplayer building aspect. I really wish there was some good physics-based multiplayer building game out there.

I assume its one of those clone games thats made free to scam poorfags and kids with autism.
