Hot holy hell it looks like G&T in here.

That's boring, we already have one of those.

    It was a nice way to casually talk about games that wouldn't necessarily support their own thread. Or talk about games without necessarily trying to start an entire big conversation about them.

    Why are we consoling megathreads? Did they lose a member of their family? Should we bake a casserole?

    Talk about games and multi players and news and events and stuff all you want.

    But three iterations of a giant, nebulous, amorphous, catchall topic bobbing around is kind of a lot.

    the way things have been with Nintendo this year, i think that deserves a thread specifically for them.

    I mean, the Nintendo thread was specifically about the company. Half the time we weren't even talking about actual games, specifically, but, like, Amiibo, or hardware rumors, or people associated with the company. Also, I thought that thread was the answer to the various individual series threads we had floating around, like the Zelda and Pokemon threads which mostly died when the Nintendo thread opened.

    Yeah, if three megathreads is a problem, I fail to see the logic that a half-dozen microthreads for specific series is better.

    Edit: And to be clear, I'm not arguing or complaining, just trying to understand.

    When we're up to our tits in Nyarlathoteps, I am NOT dealing with a bunch of, 'abloo abloo, please bonK, save us from The Crawling Chaos.'

    Okay, but where should we be talking about random, short-term discussion?

    Like, not every Nintendo game or piece of news is big or popular enough to support a solo thread.

    Smaller, non-recursive threads attract a wider variety of posters and participation. Large catchall megathreads develop microcommunities that can be hard for someone without a vested interest to break into.

    If I bought a new Cooking Mama game and wanted to rap about it, and the existing Nintendo thread community is having a die hard debate about Reggies new underpants, we ain't gonna talk about cooking mama. And if I make a new thread, I'm gonna get pointed right back at the megathread.
