I go further back and help hitler win.

...

Tell Sega to stop making addons to boost mega drive power and make a really good new system heavily 2d oriented and when making saturn they boost it's 3d efficiency.
For SNK for them to wait to make a Neo Geo CD for it to have much more power than normal Neo Geo and to heavily improve memory capacity because of loading times.
For Nintendo to never make virtua boy
For Atari to hold on Jaguar producing and make it on cd instead of cartridges.

Who even cares about vidya? I want to hold hands with hitler-kun.

Kill EA. If Hitler had won I doubt we would have had titty vidya.

terminate M. Gallagher

Bomb the EA office.
Bomb the Activision office.

...

Kill drunmmpf obviously

Titties are one of the strongest driving forces of humanity. You can't suppress titties.
If anything, under Hitler we'd have tasteful nudes instead of degenerate porn and rancid tumblr fetishes. For example, Andrew Dobson would never take up drawing without his inflation fetish, and live a normal happy life as a slightly less mentally ill person doing something he's actually good at (whatever that is).

Then he would holocaust degenerate amerifats and you won't be born. So you can't go back in time to help him.

Why would he? Hitler never holocausted anyone!

Jokes on you, I have italian blood.

How much fluoride is in the water in hell? Nice dubs though.


I think the best and only thing you could do is sequence break technology. Bring back DVDs, Blu-rays, that kind of thing. Latest phones. So far as games, it's really hard to tell if telling people "you fucked up" will change anything for the better, learning from your mistakes is a lot easier if you actually make them. The only other thing I'd personally want to do is tell Will Wright that the idea that you can make a game that's too smart or complicated for players is both patronizing and wrong. Perhaps we'd get a better SPORE - or maybe even Sim God, then.

Taking care of Steve Jobs alone would be enough to prevent most of the damage.

Kill gabe newell.

Really, any action you take in a time before your birth could result in you not being born. And even if you were still born, would you grow up to be the same person? Would you still get a time machine?

...

Go even further back, kill Abraham and his entire tribe. Save not just Vidya, but the fucking world.

Kill Microsoft and Apple.

Then we wouldn't get the LotR gba games fag.

Prevent the internet/mass communication from existing. Normalfags wouldn't be the core audience and companies would need to produce games of a higher quality to make profits as a result.

K I L L K O J I M A

I bring back enough sports trivia knowledge to build a small fortune by 1995, then invest that small fortune in the stock market - investing in every soon-to-be major company to make an even larger fortune by 2009. Then I'll pull out everything and put it all into buying as many Bitcoins as I could.

Fuck vidya.

Though I might single-handedly float Sega as a privately owned philanthropic venture. Of course, I'd wait until after the Dreamcast was announced dead and buy them up when they were most vulnerable pre-Sammy merger, and do whatever I could to maintain and recruit talent after cleaning up the mess that was SOA/SOJ/SOE's constant infighting.

Vidya can burn, but I'd like to save Sega. I enjoyed the Dreamcast/SMS/GG/and SMS.

1990 would be too late. Go back to 1983 and destroy Nintendo, let consoles stay dead after the Great Crash, while the completely untouched PC & arcade industries continue, free of their loss-leader walled-garden kikery. While I'm there, try to destroy IBM before their PC can get off the ground or Microsoft can get the DOS contract, saving the entire PC market from being squeezed into a single monopoly platform.

That's a bout it, really.


Hitler did not give a shit about America.

vs
A small price, but I pay it gladly.

Though, I did long ago gut it and now have a Ryzen 5 1600 w/ R9 380 crammed inside. One of these days, I'm going to do some serious surgery on my very first computer and turn my Gateway 386DX system into a state of the art machine. Though I'll keep the 5 1/4 & 3 1/2 drives.

That thing is a goddamned tank. The case alone probably weighs in at 30~40lbs.

You probably won't be able to. Those old cases have a different internal form factor, and the power switches don't connect to the motherboard, but to the PSU.

fag

Cases are just boxes. I can mod a box to put a PC inside. I'll probably have to fabricate an entirely new back panel, and probably re-wire the turbo button to act as the power, and I doubt I'll be able to do anything with the lock. It used to just disable the keyboard, but I might be able to merge it into the power button so that the circuit is only complete with the system unlocked. That'll depend on if I can even dig up the key though.

Would like to get the original power switch working too if possible, but just having the switch assembly on the outside as aesthetic would be fine. Again, maybe run a few wires from it up to the Turbo button to act as a circuit break if I don't hook up the lock.

I had it all planned out like a decade ago, but I never got around to actually doing it. I'd have to get a new CRT monitor to go with it too, since it would just look retarded with an LCD screen.

Good job. Now instead of a single monopoly platform, you now have every PC maker making their own operating systems and proprietary runtime libraries, turning everything into a fucking Macintosh-equivalent.

Say goodbye to standardization.

Vidya became shit because of the world getting shittier. The only way to fix vidya is to fix the world. Any ideas about how to do that which don't revolve around wehraboo bullshit?

Goodbye, don't let the door hit you on the way out! Ah, Macs, Amigas, Ataris, Acorns, X68Ks, MSXs, FM Townes… And instead of endless legacy VAX cancer like *N*X & VMS/WinNT, we'd have BeOS, Symbian, QNX, OS-9…

...

I'd like to think you're right.. If hitler had won, I'd like to think at least we wouldn't be swarming with (((problems))), which would be amazing, but there'd be some drawback for sure like, everyone without blue eyes and blonde hair gets neutered or something in the same vein as this.

I know shit about nazis, the post

Not just blue-eyed blondes. That's the problem with ideology founded on pseudoscience, it'll just keep degrading downward.

You would be correct, I know very little besides what mainstream (((media))) would have me believe. I wanted to do a bit more research myself but apart from taking the time to read a little bit about Mein Kampf an uncensored version from Holla Forums It feels like I haven't got much (((unaltered))) material to work with.

I suppose It's not difficult to envision how.

Look into Generalplan-Ost, the Nazis were planning to kill off the populations of most Slavic countries through engineered famines in order to colonize them:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalplan_Ost

To be fair, though, the Allies nearly did something similar, as the original plan for post-WWII Germany was to completely de-industrialize the country. Fortunately, they realized the German-French industrial region was the engine powering Europe's economy, and doing so would've destroyed the entire continent:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgenthau_Plan

Kill EA before they even acquire Origins

Said degenerate americans wouldn't even exist without jews.

Kill every nigger and spic who even dares look at computers

remember when Holla Forums was a video games board? yeah? me too.

Kill the governor of Arkansas and his wife.

Make a 990/11 for lols because I already came in too late.

I show richard garriott how ultima online deteriorated, what world of warcraft would later do, and how to end up like eve online today.

use my abilities to escalate the cold war in it's final moments to ww3.
vidya is saved

*specifically, infiltrate and get the USSR to launch all of it's nukes when it collapses, instead of going out like a pussy

I was kinda hoping you wouldn't bring that site up as your source, but I'll check them out regardless. I wouldn't consider Wikipedia to be typically reliable though in terms of history or events of a controversial nature.

Best of luck to you. I don't like modern case designs anyway.

I become the sole beneficiary of modern tech patents (by just copying and filing all those patents for myself) and thus control who makes video games and how.

Nuke San Francisco Bay area, Tel Aviv and Washgingon DC

That's a hammer approach, and with a time machine you have the ultimate scalpel.

Bomb Sony headquaters.

This, without jews there will be no jewish practices.
And likely no cultural marxism, so no SJWs


Alternatively:
Kill EA, Activision, Bethesda
Assassinate Todd Howard, George Lucas, Chris Metzen

Destroy Facebook

Then why did he declare war on it?

You mean even more motivation for people to use open source software? Yes please.

Spoken like a fucking pleb that's never had, and never will have, the privilege to work on a mainframe.

I guess I'd go back and kill you first.

Winston Churchill.

1 - No USSR (the Soviet government murdered millions of its own people during its 70 year reign - to study this topic read the writings of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn; Hitler would have liberated the USSR, though taking large parts of its Western region for lebensraum, "living space")
2 - No cold war (because there would be no USSR)
3 - No Communist Eastern Europe/Iron Curtain (when WWII ended, Eastern Europe fell to Communism - this was part of Stalin's spoils of war)
4 - No Red China and Mao's subsequent killing of 40 - 60 million Chinese (the USSR created favorable conditions for Mao's Communists which ultimately led to Mao's victory over Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists in 1949, thus if no USSR, no Mao victory)
5 - No Communist North Vietnam (both the Soviet Union and Red China aided Ho Chi Minh)
6 - No Communist Cambodia and Pol Pot's slaughter of 2 million Cambodians (Red China aided Pol Pot)
7 - No dividing Korea into North Korea & South Korea (the Allies split Korea after WWII ended, with North Korea becoming Communist… another of Stalin's spoils of war)
8 - No Communist Cuba (given the previous, what support would Castro have had in the 1950's?)
9 - No Communism anywhere (Hitler was the world's most fervent anti-Communist)
10 - Liberalism & multiculturalism wouldn't dominate Western ethos (both are Jewish creations and both have always been heavily promoted/advanced by Jews; thus if no Jewish influence, then no liberalism and no multiculturalism… at least certainly nowhere near the degree we see today)
11 - No Cultural Marxism and no political correctness (these are social engineering "tools" which came out of the Jewish think tank known as the Frankfurt School)
12 - No third world immigration into Western nations (Jews wouldn't be in power positions to craft and force through liberal immigration laws; Jews are responsible for each and every Western nation's liberal immigration policy/laws, as all were orchestrated by a consortium consisting of the World Jewish Congress, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, and B'nai B'rith)
13 - No depraved filth on TV, in movies, etc. (because Jews wouldn't run Hollywood)
14 - No widespread pornography (Jewish lawyers and Jewish activists were the main challengers of anti-obscenity laws, under the guise of "Freedom of Speech")
15 - There would still be prayer in public schools (Jewish lawyers were instrumental in banning prayer in public schools under the guise of so-called "separation of church and state," something that appears nowhere in the U.S. Constitution)
16 - No man-hating radical feminist movement (Jews such as Betty Friedan, Sonia Pressman, and Gloria Steinem, among others, were the key drivers of radical feminism)
17 - No Israel and all the problems it has brought the USA and the immeasurable misery it has wrought on the Palestinians
18 - Jews would be living in Madagascar (perhaps) and would be carefully monitored (Madagascar was one place Hitler considered as a Jewish homeland)

Every industry needs to go through a dark period before evolving and becoming better. Thompson and the Pokemon craze created many of the people that post here nowadays, and surely the gambling and SJW will create many others that will like games in 20 years times.

While it's sad that a lot of good series had to die, it's also fine to remember that this way the industry will keep staying fresh and we'll always get new games and interesting ideas from up and coming developers and designers. Does it really matter if your favorite game was sold to a soulless corporation after 3 titles? I'd rather have the knowledge that my favorite series died in high spirits rather than slowly being made rehashed and mediocre by the same people that created it.

There's so many choices for good games nowadays, all of them free of normalfaggotry or politics, all you gotta do is stop complaining about the industry and actually go out and play shit.

Even better, this is the perfect time to pick up gamedev as a hobby, it's never been easier to make a quality product and carve yourself a slice of the niche before the next golden age comes around.

If I could go back to the 90s I probably wouldn't do anything, because changing something could mean that the things I love wouldn't exist.

You realize what they did to the PC industry was only a repeat of what they did to the mainframe industry decades before.

Get to George Brussard, persuade him that early 2000s is the best and only time for the game to come and during their peak they must merge with Valve and create an experimental division and a developmental division.
Then somehow save the Dreamcast.
Then I would kill Gates and the Jobbs

Anyone with any brain would know that eliminating Churchill before he entered politics would have been the best end FOR EVERY NATION.

Please, you tradcucks are just as bad as feminists.

This.
Churchill was a warmongering psychopath and the only truly evil player in WW2. Right after the war ended he wanted to send his broken and bombed ass country back into the mainland to attack the Soviets, their previous allies.

Now i'm not a fan of communism or the shit Stalin did, but wanting to slaughter your allies after losing so many young men and civilians to that war should tell you the only thing he cared about was sating his own sick blood-lust. I believe Churchill is currently burning in a level beneath hell, as there hasn't been a man as evil as him in half a millennia.

Convince devs who still gave a shit to get into crowdfunding and stay the fuck away from big publishers. Hopefully publishers would go away or be heavily reduced

Yes, we'd have an infinite amount of shitty indie games, the net-total of shitty games would be way higher, but I honestly don't see a way around this. The only great, truly fucking amazing game i've played this year would be DOS2, a crowdfunded game. Shit like Nier and Nioh and Prey were good, but they never made me take a double take on just how much shit went into it. I don't know if Factorio counts as it probably won't get finished until 2018, but that's also a fantastic game I really loved.

The main problem I see with gaming today is the publishers and the amount of cash wasted on advertising. Sure, a publisher is good at pulling the project in a proper direction so it actually goes anywhere, but money grabbing sequels, cut out DLC, micro-transactions and Loot-crates are all thanks to shareholders cracking whips.
Crowdfunding produces turds percentage wise, but it does shit out the best games as well. At least in the last 5 years or so.

Why not replace porn with real relationships?

Go back to 1983 and prevent the Famicom from being released. No more Kiketendo.

There are either multiple timelines or you've already traveled back and nothing you do affects anything.

what makes you think this is remotely financially viable?

Good luck to you, you'll be doing a lot of modifications to get anything to fit.

your perfect world sounds like my perfect hell

The fact that games are actively being crowdfunded today? Are you retarded?

The only right choice

There is a place for you
>>>/treblinka/

If you're American, please go do a murder-suicide on some niggers or other undesirables. You're incompatible with the founding fathers but goddamn if you wouldn't be useful to our future in the capacity of disposable murderer.

Fascism is not a failed ideology though because it leads to the stabilization of the country, just look at Chile. Fascism is like a fever.

The only degenerate I see here is the one who can conjure up all these.

You cant be fucking serious and saying this shit on 8/v/ of all places. It is censored and pozzed to hell, people lose their careers if they dont meet the diversity quotas and and dont do million other jewish shit and tricks and you call this "free"?

I go back and rally Andrea Dworkin and Co. to turn video games into the new pro-feminist artform and co-opt it into a female/trans only space.

Assuming I have no special abilities and can only take what I'm able to fit into the time machine with me (vehicle I guess), this is the one thing I'd do:

Pose as a Sony employee and show both Nintendo and Sega's head offices a fully developed PS1 unit along with a few games to blow their minds away (anachronistic copyright dates might be a bitch but I'll try and excuse it away) and say that whoever wants the technology would have to push forth with a merger. Depending on who bites the bait, it either guarantees the future of Sega or establishes a dominant Soninty monopoly on everything from the mid 90s onward. Either way, say goodbye to the three-way console wars for the time being.

Next we have a few killings that are absolutely necessary:

Assassinate Steve Jobs and bury Apple when the company's at its economically weakest (mid 90s)

Assassinate the (very) young Chelsea van Valkenburg, Anita Sarkeesian and John Walker Flynt, stopping off at Jack Thompson's estate before silencing him as well. If there's anyone in particular I forgot, assume I got to them anyway.

And assuming I don't go back immediately, here are a few last things I'd do as the years went by:

Drop Nintendo the GBC and GBA SP a few years in advance (no pun intendo) to speed up the development of portable consoles.

Archive mods for every heavily-modded game in existence, store them in an online mod encyclopedia. Makes game forums and the like totally redundant thus sparing us from 2 decades+ of virtue signalling-based cancer.

Make ludicrous amounts of money via safe bets that won't attract my attention that much (championship games, guessing the overall winner for various solo sports) until Bitcoin comes out and sink every last penny into that mofo.

Use some of this money to set bounties, usually for the total reverse-engineering of games that changed the face of the industry (Minecraft in particular comes to mind, ideally I'd probably launch it a few years before it actually had the chance to and in a much more "finished" state than that fat kike Notch could ever hope to) and pay off any of the main innovators of the motion-control meme, as it's time to admit the only thing it did in the long run was hurt the industry as a whole. Instead of focussing on boundary-pushing hardware and the like, the late '00s turned into a dick-measuring contest about who could get more people to smash their household appliances accidentally. Maybe have controller accelerometers but keep full motion out of gaming.

prevent the vast majority of Holla Forums being born

Reported. Blow your fucking brains out.

And reported.

Although one could certainly make a valiant effort by killing people like Trip Hawkins, John Riccitiello, Bobby Kotick (the faces of aggressive anti-competitive behavior), John Carmack (father of anti-gameplay and anti-consumer graphic whore arms races), etc. the reality is that the naturally falling rate of profit on investment would have inevitably resulted in our current state of easily-consumable movie experiences, DLC, pandering to the lowest common denominator and non-gamers, etc. If not those people, someone else would come along to do the same things they did. The only way to actually save video games would be to attack the system itself: abolish capitalism (including especially "intellectual property") and market competition and establish some sort of decentralized planning in an industry of worker cooperatives.

Dworkin was about helping oppressed poor women, not bullshitting around with rich trust fund kids to adjust some imaginary gender quota. CIA stooge Gloria Steinem would be a more appropriate choice for your shitpost.

Steve Jobs and the pressure from Apple was the only thing keeping Bill Gates from being the devil incarnate. In Jobs's absence he would be even worse. You would have to kill Bill Gates too. But then, you might just have a world full of Xerox.

...

This is a pretty clever idea though, I must admit.

Answer the Jewish question once and for all.

It would save video games, but I'd kill this fat tub of shit anyway.

Fascism is a failed ideology in the same way that you're a failed human being if a nigger shoots you dead at an ATM.

wouldn't*

Xerox had some pretty good games though.

You know, this is the first time I've actually seen photocopied asses and tits.

Kill yourself. You feminist faggots made it illegal for adults to have sex with teenage girls i.e. the only good girls because of "exploitation" and "abuse" that don't actually exist, and one day very soon we're going to round you cucks up and throw you in camps because of it.

Jesus Christ, go back to your Holla Forumseddit hugbox.

Ok, torfag.

Dworkin was an entitled whale you nigger
t. Andrea Dworkin

Why not go even further and kill Mayer Rothschild on his infancy?

people who arent nordic swedish arent white
t. Holla Forums

Well, for one thing, I get rid of all of that bullshit on that custom job and restore the louvers in all of their glory.

And then I get my hands on a TR-808 while they're still common and then an original pressing of Ah Via Musicom and have Eric Johnson sign it.

And then I live there because I don't like this decade at all. The 90's sucked but at least they weren't as bad as the 21st century.

Prove it wrong, you fucking kike.

Has literally zero basis in fact. Not one document of any kind supporting it. Directly contradicted by actual National Socialist material such as Der Untermensch (which decries the suffering of the Eastern Europeans under communist oppression and calls for their liberation and the preservation of their cultures and ways of life).

Generalplan Ost was basically kikes taking actual Imperial Russian history (murdering various ethnic groups in the caucasus and manchuria and settling ethnic Russians in their place) and saying "THE NAZIS WANTED TO DO THIS TO THE RUSSIANS!" with zero proof or even evidence of any kind.
