My views on the community after A9LH.

SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH THIS IS A SERIOUS BLOG ENTRY

Honestly, I think A9LH was too much of a revelation for the kiddies here on GBATemp. It made a good chunk of the population into insincere elitists who only try to impart their ways onto other people. Nowadays, here's an average thread on GBATemp.

OP: "I'm wondering if I can do XX on my current setup"
Reply: "I KNOW YOUR PROBLEM YOU SHOULD INSTALL A9LH!!!"

No one is considerate of other people's interests, or their preferences and they relentlessly try to convert anyone they can to the so-called 'masterrace'. What started off as a completely harmless development that was exciting to follow has become a cult, and no lie, the OTP Guide is, safe to say, a copypasta at this point.

Not to mention, people here have devolved to displaying toxic behavior towards other members and labeling them as "lesser" because their piece of plastic isn't running a feature that their's is.

Even the guide itself is flawed. It changed from being a guide to retrieve your OTP, to essentially a guide to install what is subjectively the best setup of Luma3DS.

I guess at this point I'm rambling but my main point stands that this community is on a serious decline. I'm not saying it wasn't like this before, but it's definitely a lot worse now than it could've possibly ever been. There's an endless loop of people who think the only solution to a general problem is installing A9LH, there are people who scorn others for not having "the holy setup", there are people who ridicule people's taste, and a large portion of people here practice what is essentially peer pressure, in the sense that they force A9LH on others, even when the end user might not want it.

Yep. GBAtemp sucks, but thats nothing new.
If you get mad about just how much it actually sucks, mods will threaten you.
Fucking amazing.

Remember these 'elitists' are the same crowd that were pushing the Gateway flash card on people not so long ago.

I never said it didn't happen in the past, it just happens a lot more often now, especially since everyone with a 3DS on 10.7 and lower has access to it.
 
In all honesty, it's best to have one unified system.
It's far easier to troubleshoot problems then.

That's basically why I advice to use Xecuter hardware for the 360.

I personally believe that we not only need to ban annoying trolls and elitists, but also automatically send a letter to their parents so they will have no computer-privileges during the time-span they are banned. Thats propably the only solution to all our troubles.

EDIT: Or the death sentence for shitposting. That may help as well.

@Memoir: It's truly splendid that you noticed that! Now... let's play connect the dots and ask the next question.

WHY do you think it keeps being brought up?
No, no! Do not hurry. Take your time. I am certain you will get there eventually.
 
Kingpin, your dull attempt at being a sarcastic asshole is duly noted. However, redundancy never solves problems.

So many problems are brought to light, most are just the same thing. Case in point, A9LH. Do you think anything is going to be done about it? If you do, then I have to wonder why you're on the temp.

I am just being myself. Don't stunt my emotional development by labeling me!

And anyhow. I disagree. Discussing a problem once usually does nothing. Do it over and over and over... until people act to make people shut up. That's how politics work.
 
That explains why the oilfield is still in such a bad way. That explains why people go hungry and die on the streets every day. Yes, repeat yourself until your face turns blue. By all means. Report back when shit changes.

Then what is your argument?
Let's all do nothing and just enjoy the ride?

Geez... You are even more pessimistic than i am.
Bloody brilliant.
 
I dont have it and dont need it. It would just be a waste of a few hours of my life backing things up and deleting them and putting them back on. My Reinand Emunand setup has been a 99% boot rate. When it doesn't, it only takes less than a minute to restart. I have also found it to be sort of a peer pressure around here to install it. I have not really paid much attention to the 3DS section as of late and since the beginning of A9LH it does not seem as if there has been much progress. Almost like all of this master race talk has detered developers from making new things, because of the childish attitudes of the scene.
