Post shit normies say in a conversation about video games that

>>377996887
>normies

you mean normalfags? normie is a sanitized term for redditors/neofags.

anyway, I don't talk to people I know about video games so I don't run into this problem. most people don't even know I play video games.

>>377997324
This OP
Never ever discuss something you know with someone who knows shit about it

>>377997959
>someone who knows shit about it
That means they DO know things about it.
"Shit-all" or "doesn't know shit" would mean they know nothing.

This never happened with me initiating the conversation about video games, the normies brought it up.

lol my normie mate watched me play all the splinter cell games then watched me play all the mgs on the hardest setting constantly asking me to while play mgsv while mgs2 3 then i buy a cheap ps3 for mgs4 he watches me play the entire 20 hours of mgs4 still asking me to reinstall mgsv i keep telling it let me down and the story isnt as compelling as the other games

>but anon it looks sick you have 170 hours on in you cant tell me its shit

>download mgsv on my shit internet just so he can play

>he immediately gets in a tank and after fucking around with it for a few minutes gets out attacks a post and dies

normies happily eat any of the shit EA, Ubisoft, and ActiBlizz shovel down their throat purely due to marketing. Bethesda is getting dangerously close to joining that club if they haven't already.

>>"new one." not even specific about what the new game is called, just the "new one."
I'm sure they know exactly what it is called, but normalfags have a bad tendency to act dumb to appear more friendly and inviting.

Personally what annoys me in conversations with normalfags:
>"Oh man, I've been playing GAME™ 2, it's great!"
>hey, you should check out the first one some time, it's even better
>"nah"

I have a rich friend who buys every single triple a release on release day.
then never plays games past the tutorial.

>>378002996
That shit annoys me too

Its like they don't posess simple logic
>game 2 is really good
>game 2 was probably created because game 1 was also good and sold well
>i should try game 1

But no they dont see that

>>377996887

I have a friend who jumps into a series with whatever the newest installment is and just flatout refuses to give the previous games a chance because "the latest game in the series is the standard and previous games in the series never live up to that." He's such a smug egotistical fuck. Haven't talked to him in a few months, but maybe that's for the best.

>>378003219
>>378003836
Some people don't like going back to play games from the past because they think it's a step backwards for some reason. Some of my friends will even buy remasters for games they already own instead of just plugging in their old console and playing that instead.

>Some people don't like going back to play games from the past because they think it's a step backwards for some reason.
I mean I kind kind of get that reasoning because logically, devs will have learned from the mistakes of the previous games and will have worked to improve upon them, but especially nowa days, that's almost never the case. They just remove things and streamline the shit out of what made the previous games good and give it a shiney new graphical coat of paint to appeal to a broader audience all while implementing whatever flavor of the month trend that's going on in the industry at that point in time.

I tried explaining this several times, but people just won't have it and the word "hipster" gets thrown around a lot. There's a point where it just boils down to being incredibly closed minded and people being easily influenced by hype and marketing.

>casual friend wont stop talking about the competitive scene of a popular game like LoL or csgo

That actually happened a lot to me, used to really like Shadow of the Colossus along with a friend, whenever we talked about, a shitbag would interrupt our talk and boast about how he had a Shadow of the Colossus 2 that his father got on a trip to another country his father was alcoholic lol

>>378004690
Yeah I get what you mean, there's not much you can do about it when people are so rigid. It's annoying when friends would rather listen to the latest hype and e-celebs recommendations over your own recommendations. Then they come back a few weeks later and say "man Mafia 3 was boring I haven't even got half-way through it" and you have to try not to act like a smug cunt.

>>378005302
>Like, what the hell? I was polite enough to decline playing their game, but they make fun of something they don't even know what is right in front of me.

literally a coping mechanism so they don't feel stupid for not knowing what you're talking about

if they've never heard of it, they're obviously "too good for" or "above" it, at least that's the justification they give themselves

in other words they're douchebags and you shouldn't willingly hang around people who do this

I worked at a sea food joint for a while and I'd talk about vidya with some of the kitchen staff every now and then. They were a good group of guys and had decent taste for the most part, but there was this one time I was talking with a newer cook and he kept bringing up No Man's Sky and how much it blew him away. Said something like

>Man I can't wait to get home, I gonna roll up a joint and explore the stars.
>Yeah, No Man's Sky is like, a game for real gamers. It's pretty sweet.

This was a couple days after release, one day he just stopped bringing it up altogether, which wouldn't be such a weird thing but he fucking talked about that game any chance he got and about a week later, zilch, nada. The honeymoon phase must have worn off I guess.

>>378006282

Bethesda's track record is pretty good though. Doom, Dishonored, and Prey are all pretty good.

>>378007132
that's why I said they're on the edge

they're similar to mid-00s Blizzard right now

>>378007132
>>378007245
Exactly 0 of those games were developed by Bethesda so why are you giving them credit for it?

>>378007372
He is right, normies don't know the difference between developing and publishing, so, as soon as they see the bethesda logo, they will assume it's a bethesda game

>>378007372
>>378007490
the point is that those games, despite being published by bethesda, are still decent. as opposed to ubisoft and EA, who mainly publish horseshit

>>378007132
As publishers yes, as developers no.

>they force me to play league
>I play league, eventually realise they're all silver surfers
>try to improve on my own, hit diamond after a year
>they all beg me to boost them
Isn't it fucked up when a person you introduce a game to ends up better than you? I'd be mad.

>>378007846
What point are you even trying to make? No one is saying that those games are either shit or good, it's up to the players to decide, we are just talking about clueless normies that thinks bethesda MAKES those games and that they are the best thing on earth by association.

She tried so damn hard. Got to give her credit, she still apparently knew more about the Switch than my dickhead classmate who had never even seen one until my friend brought one into class (as in, he didn't know what it was until someone told him), then started going on about how impressive it was and that "the thing I like about Nintendo is how they are always so CREATIVE with their consoles these days, they're always so CREATIVE and INNOVATIVE".

>>378013342
It's true though, but it depends on how much each person blinks. Since each eye can only see 30fps and 30x2=60, it's possible someone could effectively halve the PFP (Per Frame Potential) if they blink too much.

With my own eyes I can see the difference between 60fps and 120fps. Apparently this can go right up to 200Hz but I don't have the means to test that.

>>378013475
Eh, thought I'd put it in there, since there are a lot of people who wouldn't even consider a game if it didnt have multiplayer.

Something tells me you don't have a lot of friends.

>>378014543
you dumb sperg, knowledge of history is fucking useless as well. knowing about bunch of dudes that lived 1000 years ago gives you nothing, you dummie. do you even know what hobbie means?

my normie friends want to play GTA:O, COD zombies or other such shit.

I play with him a few times and meet one of his other friends who i have met IRL and is a personal trainer and total fucking chad.

I say these games are boring AF and im off to play something else. Chad asks what im playing and i say Bloodborne, expecting to have to explain it but the motherfucker is fucking lights up and we end up ditching my friend to do some coop chalice dungeons.

Nowadays we buy games we can play together even for a few weeks (tfw not poor or neet) like MKX, starcraft, DaS 1 and 3 etc. etc.

>do you even know what hobbie means?
I do. Do you? A hobby is something you enjoy doing in your free time. I enjoy making music in my free time, does that mean I get smug about the knowledge I have that others don't? No. Because I'm not a gigantic faggot.

Frogs realize when they suddenly jump into hot dangerous water and leave.

But if you put them in natural water and let the water heat rise up to lethal temperatures they will never realize its too hot until it kills them.

I am going kinda /pol/ and /k/ here but we live in a society where people REALLY has thrown out the idea of privacy and freedom in exchange for ease of information and security from an outer source.

People dont care about being spied on because they think "its not like i have something to hide". Which is a mentality very common.

Leaving politics out of it, people said that Trump tax returns were not public because he had something to hide. People thought that was the ONLY reason he wouldn't make public something that he didn't had to.

Then someone leaked it and nobody found shit.

People really gave up on privacy. Snowden made a talk about how easy it is to spy on people, or how easy it is for the government to spy on you.


People forget this:


Knowledge is power.
Someone else knows your name, gender and age? no big deal.

An entity knows your name, gender, and age? no big deal.

An entity knows name gender and age of everyone in a state? Then they sell that info for a high price. People forget that any little piece of useless information they give out can become a shit ton of cash and power when someone gets a hold of the same thing out of a lot of people.

But you think it, so you are

It's the worst fucking thing being a fan of roguelikes.

Normalfags see your roguelike with tilesets and they automatically think the game is some poorly designed piece of 1/10 garbage.

Worst still, they literally cannot even begin to comprehend how you enjoy a game with ASCII graphics or how it could possibly have more depth than whatever the current meme game is. If tileset roguelikes are an instant 1/10 to them, ASCII roguelikes are a -5/10.

My favorite pie is tuna and cheese.

You Americans and your fruit pies are fucking spastics.
