Normalfag/casual friends and vidya

>Can you imagine, /v/? They weren't very into games and they were tech illiterate! What the fuck!

>>387135005
I would expect with a spoiler like that you would follow it as well. I guess its too much to ask these days.

>>387135180
Sorry, I guess expecting people to have common sense was a mistake.

>>387135372
Literally happened to me the day before yesterday. If you don't want to believe it, fine.

OP you are the gayest thing since gay came to gaytown.

My sister asked if I ever played Final Fight and I said no.
The twist is I was the casual.

>>387135468
See the story just isn't authentic.

Now >>387135547 is a believable story.

>>387135005
Jesus this is literally my older brother
>game where you hold a button to sprint

>>387135005
>"oh hell no, never"
I'll translate it for you.
"No. Sure it's fun and novelty for a bit but it's a toy, and I'm not buying toys. Now, back to serious games like FIFA."

>be at a bar
>somehow end up talking to a cute brown girl about kingdom hearts
>i tell her kingdom hearts has a shit story but is mechanically pretty sound
>she laughs and introduces me to her boyfriend
>i go home

>be a normie with a twist - vidya
>have normie friends and a gf
>unusual, but when a friend says shit like "you are 23 and you still play games wtf" instantly reply as "fuck off mate lets go do something instead"

This shouldn't be too hard?

Also, I skipped this part because it's /r9k/ stuff but

>or they tell each other how hard they'd fuck that one bitch on tinder
>biggest event that night was a girl accepting his friend request on instagram
>meanwhile I, kissless virgin at 26, have to pretend to have fun
I know I'm not normal, but are all normalfags so shallow and boring? It's like they live to fuck random bitches. They don't even have hobbies other than that.

>>387135386
so buying a switch is common sense?

>THINK DIFFERENT, by having the same product as evwrybody else :P

>>387137379
>>THINK DIFFERENT, by having the same product as evwrybody else
Works for sony and apple. And no, common sense is not expecting two completely different consoles to connect to each other.

Ey mang, it's a pretty good fucking hobby. Even old men and ugly faggots are getting more than you. LOOK at this pic. See that?

Reminder that this old bastard use to FUCK HER during her anbaolite perfect, big tittied teenage prime. He no doubt used to get to thrust his old man hood into her, against her fucking perfect alabaster body watching her big tits bounce with each thrust, feeling her dark soft wet pubes brush his old dick as he atarted to thrust faster before yelling out and pulling his dick out fast as she rushed her beautiful, open and thirsty mouth to his pulsing dick just as his old cock spurt shot right into her reciveing spade shape tounge as a few stray, hard cumshots streamed in her hair and drop off her chin onto her giant tits.

Bet thats what happened. Every night

>>387137482
but my xbox allows me to hook my ps4 up to it. are you saying XBOX DOES WHAT SONYDONT

>>387137336
Banging whores is life to normalfags, there is nothing more than a job for money and whores to screw

>>387137336
Have you considered joining them? I don't know them but i can tell they are trying to push you towards it and loose your V card, don't be a fool and see the signs.
Besides tinder biches are easy as hell, they are trying to get fucked and move on just like us.

I have a friend who loved MGSV and literally played the same set of side ops over and over for around 40 hours before even rescuing Huey.
Another friend claimed that it would take over 100 hours to fully beat Bloodborne, and when describing what it was called it a horror game.

>>387137695
No? Why would I want to, when my hand has served me more than well all these years? What's the point?

They serve the same exact purpose, except I don't have to pretend to like their owner to get one of them on my penis.

>>387137881

fucking virgins

>>387137814
You can't complain about being a virgin and then not doing anything to stop the problem.

>>387137967
>"thier owner"

My one friend that's the most normal fag out of all of us the one who owns our group discord server and deletes any link I post that's vaguely offensive.
But then I just link it to my other friends individually.

>>387138065
Where did I complain?

>>387138074
Yes, the owner of the pussy (aka the tinder bitch) and the owner of the hand (aka me).

>At friend's house
>Asks if I want to play Street Fighter

Here

>>387138140
why would you even pretend to like a tinder bitch? You both know what you're after. Get your dick wet and call it a night.

>>387138285
>not being as cheap as possible in a fighting game

>>387135005
They think it's a psp it seems

>>387138310
I complained about having to pretend to have fun, not about being a virgin.

I usually hide my power level when normies start talking about games. I just give them a vague answer like
>Oh I mostly just play strategy games
Then I turn the conversation to something else.
I never play vidya with people who are super casual.

>>387138402
Let's start from the top here anon.

Describe your night of fun. What situation would you need to be in where you didn't have to pretend to have fun?

>>387138285
>friend not too bad but never jumps for some reason
>can just punch him once and jump around until time runs out and universe explores

>>387138492
Alone at home playing vidya and/or watching anime.

He also constantly jumps, all the damn time. It feels mean but I thought I'd teach him not to if I played some Axl against him.

>>387138538
Ok so stop hanging out with these guys you feel you have to pretend having fun around. They know, believe me they can tell and probably make fun of you behind your back about it. Whatever connection you have with these guys is weighing you down so cut them out. You clearly don't need them.

>>387138538
>Not watching anime with your friends.
For fuck sake. does your anime of choice contain lolis or someting? why cant you invite a couple friends over.

>>387138758
Niggas, I have one friend, the one I mentioned in the OP, and he's the one calling me to hang out. I ignore his calls and messages a lot of times but he still comes back to me, and I have no idea why.
It's not like we don't have fun together when we're alone just playing vidya (of course, he still brags about his sex life and whatnot, knowing I'm a turbovirgin, but I'm used to it), but this time he was with his normalfag friend and I was like the third wheel.

>>387138569
With those manbrows that's probably the best she could get

>>387137379
Pretty sure the highlight there is thinking a Switch could connect to a PS3. But you would need common sense to pick up on that...

I doesn't do anything for me, infact im salty that such a thing actually happened, not as salty as her tastebuds were after he splashed his old age dick butter down her throat mind

>>387138621
why not actually teach the guy? and if he's not willing to learn just don't play fighting games with him. there's literally no worse game to play when a skill difference is involved.

>>387138980
maybe he keeps coming back to you and bragging about his sexual endeavors because secretly he wants to fuck you and won't admit he's gay for you

>>387139134
That doesn't happen.
Real life isn't like doujins

>>387136748
>he never touches either games single player modes ever
he is simply a modern gamer.

>>387139134
Well, 80% of our conversations are gay innuendos and puns and calling each other fags, but I think that's a normal thing among buds. Then he goes out to fuck bitches while I go home and open sadpanda.

>Win and leave in shame

>>387139048
I do try but there's only so many times I can say "Stop mashing" before the other persons becomes pissed.
I recommended Raven to him since he has a bunch of tools to make Jump Dashes safe and he seems to like the character but then he got stuck on Jack-O because lol1inputDP, jump fireballs and camping corner with houses up.

I do try to tell him what he can do against certain moves if he keeps getting beat by but the best way of learning in fighting games is just getting your dumb shit punished every single time until you stop doing it.

>>387139182
>>387139315

I've known lots of gay guys who fucked many women before coming out of the closet. They do it as a way of denial before they finally admit they prefer the dick.

>>387139046
the guy at that age knows how to be seductive
girls fall for it
girls don't care about appearance, they care about how they are treated
some want it rough, others gentle
you need to be yourself (Yes) and eventually find one that suits your personality

In all fairness, the Souls series (esp BB) are very much horror games. The genre is ARPG, but they are the best horror games in years.

For fuck sake you are me two years ago.
I enroled myself in a techical school (no idea what's the american term) with my friend.
i was the odd kid back at school, no friends, no gf and sat at the bottom of the class,
no more

compleatly do an 180 in my life, even liyng about what i liked.
got friends with every one.

I'm a loser who plays JRPGs and weebshit, faps to hentai, hopeless with women, and even I like to talk about whores on tinder (as well as our experiences with professional escorts) with my bros and ours (few) scores. And fifa is one of the best games to play in groups of friends while drinking.
Instagram is boring as fuck though. We either hunt for real or look at actual porn.

I thought it was just girls asking such things of guys.

>is excited for Far Cry 5 solely because it has guns and cars
>he liked the social elements of Persona 5 when I showed it to him, but lost interest in the game when he saw it had turn based combat
>favourite game of all time is GTA V, not because he enjoys it, but because that's what he has the most playtime in
>disliked Metro 2033 because you spend more time killing monsters than you do humans
>playing something like RDR is exotic to him

He's a good guy, but his taste drives me up the wall.

>>387139554
Not as much as guys, no.
Especially common shit like weight.
Literally just do some basic grooming and most girls in your league will be fine with your looks.

It won't happen, to get in the mind of him, he drove 30 km with a flat tire beacus he couldn't be half assed to change it, needles to say the tire was shredded and the rim ruined. this was with a brand new BMW by the way

So does it connect?

Dude's pretty smart 2bh, Firewatch has no gameplay so just watching it is a better use of your time and money

I pirated it, plus I'd say watching and playing Firewatch are equal wastes of time.

Dropped. I don't know why probably because I'm ugly and a virgin but tinder seems as desperate as an OkCupid account. Like it feels degenerate and desperate. Like literally just ask out the girl at your work/class/whatever

Some people seem to think that I'm a Chad (even though I actually only slay pussy or ass once in a bluemoon ever since I chose the single life) and I am actually a lolicon who watches anime and plays a bunch of japanese games, including VNs. What a person is actually like and what they seem to be diverge greatly sometimes.
My close friends now how much of a loser I actually am though, but even they have fun with my "reputation".

>>387143165

No, he's the nicest guy you could ever meet. He's the one who's shit at fighting games despite him claiming that they're among his favorite genres. I've tried to teach him how to get better, but there is just a fundamental divide. Even when he practices combos, he performs the inputs so slow and fails to react to changing conditions that I truly believe that he just can't play them. His other favorite genres are turn based strategy and puzzle games, where he can take all the time he needs to think, but when it comes to fighting games he's just so incompatible that he performs better when button mashing than when actually trying to read battle conditions and input proper combos.

She reeks of a liar and at one point she actually deleted me from his social media accounts because she knows his phone password. He didn't even dare ask her if she did just kept spewing "but why would she when she knows i'd just add you back?" umm ok sweetie.

Maybe I don't know enough about you, but playing video games as a serious hobby, to me, is just as, or at least close to, only entertaining your sex drive. I think both are fine, but building towers out of either of them tends to be a bad idea. This comes from someone who does both here and there. Also, like I said, I may just not know enough about you. Just something to think about.

>>387143285

I have had two steady relationships. The second one was like that, and the solution is to dump her sorry ass because pussy just isn't worth it. My first girlfriend in high school was considerate and compassionate about my needs, and let me spend time with my friends. She'd sometimes want to come along, which was alright, but it was few and far between because we both understood that people need "me" time. We broke it off because we both moved across the country for college, but we're still amicable. Every day I wish we had stayed together.

Long story short, don't stick with shit GFs.

I'm not even decent in fighting games but I think it's the best genre to spot people that can play and learn about a game and, in the other side, people that just mindless press buttons and play the game without putting some effort to learn.

Looks at the guy in pic related. Then think about a young Sean Connery. If both walked up to a young woman and acted like a cocky asshole, persistent to get her to agree to a date, do you think she would respond the same to both?
You think the dude in this pic wouldn't come off as creepy instead of charming?

>>387143808
But you don't give a flying scotch about their sports and they certainly don't care about you hobbies and now you have a relationship that started with lies and compromises. Fast forward and you're stuck in your tower of lies, married to an ugly bitch you've met through those make-believe friends and now realize that the last 20 years of your live were wasted on a child that doesn't care about you interests/opinion and rather plays games in your cellar.

>>387144751
Yeah it's helped me a lot too. Which makes me worry because I don't really know what I'd do when they leave.

>>387144751
The problem for most is finding those people, I've found.

The majority of people don't really stop to think deeply about what they're doing or where their life is heading, which leads to shallow conversations. I honestly believe that if it wasn't for bread and circuses (Netflix, celebrities etc), all normies would collectively have an existential meltdown.

>>387144861
well yeah refusing to play something else when a friend not into it is around is rude, but if the game is that deep to entertain you for so many years, well props to it

>>387145150
Honestly I don't think there's anything wrong with that. As shallow as it is. There's not anything better to do.

>>387139491
Girls do care about appearance, it's just not all they care about. If you're at least average looking then you can probably win a woman over with your personality, but if you're notably ugly, then you're shit out of luck.

>>387145150

you say that like the only thing binding us is the sports and my hobbies. from there you carve new intresses that anyone can agree on, finding firends that you like and can trust and leave the old lies buried and forgoten.
By then they know i dont pay too much attention to their Sports and they don't need to mind mine. I also learn a bit of their hobbies to talk about it and let them corrrect me when wrong.
you imply that i lie to them 24/7 but after that point i dont need to lie, i can go up to them and say "hey guys, what about that game last night" and talk about it. and they can ask about some games and i can recomend some to them and play with them.

>There's no such thing as a long term romantic relationship, humans aren't built for it.
Except that they literally are. Humans are meant to be a monogamous species. It's why people who remarry are less happy with their partners the more divorces they had. Just because MGTOW and you weren't happy with your original partners and heard stories about bad relationships doesn't mean the entire human species is polyamorous.

>>387146360
That's just you having a losers mentality. Naturally you're not going to find someone that'll make life all rainbows and joy 24/7, but finding somebody that you can get along with and can offer you happiness isn't far-fetched at all.

>>387146717
Unless you're talking about wrapping their hair around your dick and fucking it, which you may be, I don't think it's all that sexual. Besides, short hair's better on cute girls than lewd girls.

>>387146882
>Humans are meant to be a monogamous species
Literally false.

Yes, you can 'get along' with someone for decades, your entire life even. You can get along with your partner the same as you can get along with your coworkers.

Seems that way. Either that or they just hide their interests well. I'm expecting it's the latter, though.
Sort of like how most girls will pretend to be vanilla fetishes, but they're further off the /d/eep end than most guys would be comfortable with.

>>387147337
Yeah, and you can get along with your partner to a to a degree that you love them as well. Just because you can be friends or acquaintances with someone your whole life doesn't mean you can't be partners with someone for the rest of your life as well.

>>387143458

Seems "doesn't even bloody fucking try" is very common.

I play Killing Floor.
There are a few easy things a new player can do to be a bit less shit.
About 1 in 10 of them will try.
The other 9 out of 10 are content to be shit.
Well, actually, they're quite fucking salty about being shit.
But gitting gud doesn't register to them as a valid solution to the salt.
The thought "Something I don't like is happening. How do I change this?" doesn't enter into their minds at all. Not sure why not. That's literally why you have a mind, to have that thought and solve it in various situations.

>>387148103
I can relate to that. Except for vaping. That's faggotry. Either smoke a real cigarette or don't smoke at all.

I think your definition of happiness is too narrow if you don't think being able to have someone you care about enough that you feel like you love them, and being able to feel that way for the rest of your life on top of it, isn't a proper form of happiness. Either way, the discussion isn't really worth having, I doubt either of us will change the other's mind and neither of these stances have a solid basis in facts, it's just a matter of feelings.

>>387148676

Your first mistake is assuming that words are the solution to this problem.

If your GF has words, ignore them. Judge your GF entirely on her actions.

What is your definition of "happiness" because you are starting to sound like those retards that think depression is just feeling super sad.

You're both right.
I find it's better to only tell one major thing should you happen to be going through a lot of shit.
Only did it once when a good buddy reached out to me and I had to use my fucked up experiences to knock him down a peg.

I knew what was coming so I didn't even argue - just went with the flow. We have done a few sessions now, nothing has improved. So, I presented an ultimatum to them - squad must have a clear leader who gets to decide on plans and order people around and whose commands must be followed no matter how stupid they may seem. Otherwise they can count me out when we play that game.

>>387148886
Since when did getting along with someone mean the same as caring about or loving someone?

>>387145730
It's just like any other platonic relationship, if you have common interests and enjoy spending time together it's nice but that's incredibly rare and short lived. You're most likely going to be barely tolerating each other while using them for certain things until the cost outweighs the benefit. Also the added stress of someone constantly questioning every action you do while you do the same just isn't a good time

a bad one?A true hell because you will understand the horrors of being alone while in another's company

A good one? A scene of peace hits you, anger is harder, you become more at peace with things and basically grow out of a lot of piety shit. However if you lose this girl at any point you might regress back or worse depending on your personality and how long you two were together.

>>387145730
Back in 2005 when I was playing World of Warcraft, everyone was all hyping how good it was to have a gf or how bad it was to not have a gf. People would always interrupt their WoW groups because of some gf shit.
Personally I didn't see the point.
But if all these people valued a gf, maybe there was something I was missing.
So I went out, hooked up with a random girl in my city, had a thing for a few months.
It was BORING AS FUCK.
I'd rather be playing WoW.
I can't believe I fell for the normie hype.

As for loneliness, buggered if I know. The only time I've ever felt lonely was when I was out of my goddamn mind on hallucinogens.

>>387135005
These threads are retarded.

Why do you guys care so much about what other people do in their spare time?

You can still have a nice conversation with a "normie" about video games without thinking you are better than them.

the core debate was could you stay happy. As such a core factor is agreeableness with each other.

Because the spending habits of shit-eating retards are what drives the videogame market, and thus the vast majority of games that are made are going to target the shit-eating retard demographic.

>>387149564
Yes, but if you can't get along with them, then you're not going to love them. You were saying people just trick themselves into thinking they're in love because they can tolerate each other, I'm saying that people can love each other and continue to have a healthy relationship for the rest of their lives and a core reason as to why the relationship remains in a good state is because they can get along well.

Half of those are very popular games that were featured on a lot of "normie" youtube/twitch channels on release.

Undertale in particular was a very widespread thing. These people are doing minimal harm to the market by liking games that you don't like.

No I didnt, we keep shit secret until they found us having a date and they got angry at me because everybody was too shy to have a serious advances with her.

We always throw jokes of how hot she was and how much we wanna fuck her but fuck, I wanted to be happy after many years of being a jaded gloomy asshole.

I know you know that feeling very well, everybody here knows how it feels. I just wanted a change in my life for once.

Just drop him. There's nothing unreasonable about not wanting to spend time with someone that treats you like a last resort. My friends didn't suddenly drop because they had a relationship, they aren't around as much because they're busy being adults but that doesn't excuse shitty behaviour.
