>I just did the first thing on my mind.
The first thing on your mind was to give people $4 to make them stop yelling at you?

Fuck man, you're the easiest mark ever.

>>388162967
it really isn't, just happened tonight. It wasn't meant to be pathetic, I was just pointing out that you won't make friends at gaming clubs

>>388163302
>It wasn't meant to be pathetic, I was just pointing out that you won't make friends at gaming clubs
Nigga, you didn't make any friends because you're a fuckup who has no people skills.

Video game club and the people who went there have nothing to do with it.

>>388163251
>The first thing on your mind was to give people $4 to make them stop yelling at you?
well, not exactly. I just gave him what was in my wallet. He was getting pretty rowdy.

>>388163401
I'm not saying that they are at fault. I'm just saying that the other people there aren't going to make socialize with people they don't know. They are just going to play with the friends they already have. People who expect gaming clubs to be a social thing will just be disappointed.

>>388163431
You unplugged someone's game because you couldn't watch where you were going. I'm not saying they were justified but it's understandable.

>>388163431
so if i find you and call you names really loud, are you gonna give me your wallet and maybe some succ?

maybe you should have tried actually interacting with people

>>388163589
Again, you're saying this as a social retard with the catlike grace of a wildebeest who is so sackless that they gave a dude all their money just to get them to stop yelling.

If you go back next week, bring your own controller, and do the bare minimum to not fuck up, video game club is relatively easy to make friends in.

>>388161091

go join a fraternity, any fraternity that'll take you
you'll learn how to be a human being, don't go into an autism corner expecting to learn social skills, seek people unlike yourself

I wouldn't have been mad if I had wandered into some private club or something, but there was someone in the student union recruiting for this nonsense.

>>388163747
No, the only reason I gave him money was because he wouldn't take my apology. giving him money was a way to show him that I was actually sorry.

>>388164308

next time don't argue with lunacy, just leave

dont go back there, it sounds pathetic

I'm going to choose to take this post seriously because I'm bored.

College gaming clubs (and college in general) is full of children. People go to college because it's what they are told to do, and they don't bother researching or thinking about any other possible paths they could take in life. They just pick the one that everyone says is the right way to go (actually many people discourage college now) and they get into thousands in debt for a worthless degree. (exceptions being the students who major in valuable fields with scholarships or grants). Chances are people in this gaming club are the types who will find themselves in a miserable job after graduating, or unemployed and living at home.
College clubs are a joke. They're usually run by students who are obviously busy with schoolwork (sometimes a job too) and rightfully prioritize club issues last.

Finding like-minded 'gamers' is not easy. Finding like-minded 'gamers' who like the same genres as you is super fucking hard. Just socialize at work, or wherever else, and mention video games to people. Don't be annoying about it, if they say something like "I don't have time for games", just look elsewhere. Eventually you'll figure it out.

join a fraternity, preferably social one, the "career" ones are shells ruled by dicks who want to pump up their resume

otherwise join a sports club, any sport, even shit like frisbee golf, just get on a team and you'll have a pretty good college experience

>>388161091
If the majority of people want to play one thing then they'll play it happily, if only one person wants to play one thing then your sent to the corner to play that thing by yourself
If you want to make friends then suck it up and wait your turn to play smash

who cares if he knows you're sorry or not? you're apologizing to a fat shit who's getting mad over a video game, fuck his feelings. you should have told him to fuck off and left, and if he hits you then you've got a reason to take all his money

>>388164387
>Finding like-minded 'gamers' is not easy.
It's easier to just find a good friend who is open minded and introduce them to cool games.

>>388164308
If he doesnt want the apology then take the hit or leave, you dont need to prove that you're sorry

>>388164696
i'm also about 300 miles away from my house. I tried to join the gaming club mentioned in the op. The only other club that I wanted to join was the chess club since I love chess, but the chess club had recently been disbanded.

seriously though, if you have some look around during rush week, theres plenty that just need members, if you arent a sperg you'll probably get a bid. just be polite when you meet everyone, you dont have to suck anyone's ass, manners will get you in alone because people will want to get to know you better

we fucking rushed a 55 year old man once coming back to get his degree, he was a blast

>>388164696
Yeah I mentioned that in my post. Even a lot of non-STEM degrees are worthwhile, and in some cases it's worth going into debt over a degree. But not to the level that you read about these days.

My Freshman year of college I joined an anime/video club. The president was this really cool guy who had a calming demeanor about him, seemed to be good at organizing things. There was this other blonde guy who reminded me of link, and another dude who played a lot of pokemon and called himself a trainer, also cool. There were some girls, too, all very nice people. One was a turbo weeb, you know the kind that acts like she's in an anime, but she was actually a decent person and cute a as a button. There was the other girl who could cook her ass off, great baker and good taste in anime, and another who was like the stereotypical spicy Latina, pretty fuckin hot she was. Every single event we did was fun. We had a fighting game tournament that I got my ass beat in, but still, everyone was laughing. One time, we all got together in the evening and watched Akria while eating snacks and shit. Overall, it was the best club ever, I miss those dudes.

Don't join a club for video games. Join a club like your local D&D group or your local Renaissance Faire or the av club or computer science club. There, you'll have a higher chance of finding normal people mainly because these hobbies take some degree of skill of intelligence of socializing, but they'll still be the kind of people to play video games and stuff.

/tv/ meme

He's using it kinda wrong though, it means like, that something is great or quality, in a cinematic(this could be interpreted differently, more abstractly "cinematic" than literally) kind of way if that makes sense

I haven't declared a major yet, going into sophomore year, all I know is that I'm too much of a brainlet for STEM. I'd like to study history or something, but I know that'll fuxk me in the job side of things. I just don think know what to do.

Stephanie Sheh got into voice acting through an anime club, and that is what i want to do (though i dont necessarily care whether the content is anime or not career wise), how well does that kind of thing usually work out, i figure the club has a 50% of actually doing activities like that and the other 50 would probably mean that it would just be a gathering club to watch stuff and nothing else

Don't listen to the STEMfags on here that say you can only succeeded through life as a STEMfag.

I know nothing about gaming clubs, but I just wanted to get this out of my chest:

I saw the other day an anime called Gamers.
It wasn't about games at all.
I felt extremely dissapointed that someone had to mislead people into watching his/her anime about romantic mishaps to the point of having ArkSys games on the highlights, just to never actually talk about videogames.

>>388169893
If you don't know what you want to do for a living, the last thing you want to do is be in college. It will drain your soul because you'll end up stumbling through the entire experience. Don't do what I did. Take your time, figure out what you want to study, and then sign up for college.

>old guy
Hey fuck you I'm not old just older then the bunch of babies I'm surrounded by.

But seriously they're so autistic, it's awful sometimes. We had a guy (this is the second week of classes btw) that just now said something to the instructor for my computer course that he DIDN'T KNOW HIS LOGIN FOR THE SCHOOL COMPUTERS. Which meant he couldn't use the e-mail, or the assignment hub (I don't know if BlackBoard is universal but it's what we use). He's just been bringing his laptop and playing on Facebook for the last 2 weeks.

I've got a bad feeling that I could very easily dick it up though, 19 year olds are tight and I'm not dating anyone. I refuse to waste my gubbmint money partying and banging chicks a decade younger than me though, even if part of my brain is screaming at me for it.

Went to one a long time ago when I first started college, this was around the time Brawl came out in Japan. The head autist there had it all set up, I paused it once by to scratch my nose and he chimped the fuck out.

After that I didn't come back. The last time I saw them, they all set up a table in the hallway, begging for people to donate money to them in order to travel to Japan. Looking back, not returning was the best decision. That was the most cringe worthy group of faggots ever. One of them had eyeliner on, and teased his hair up in order to look Japanese.

Once you get your acting chops, talk to your local student radio station about recording a few radio spots that you can also use in your demo reel. Do we many as you can, and do a variety of stuff, from advertisements to bumpers. Pick the best ones and send them in to talent agencies.

Get off the meal plan as soon as you can, that shit is almost always bad. Living in a house with your friends is great, and groceries are way cheaper than the shit that they will have you do your first year.

Get on pleasant terms with your dormmates. They usually won't last forever as friendships since you'll eventually meet some people that have more in common with you (some exceptions, I know a few people that really hit it off with their neighbors), but they are what you have in the interim, and you definitely want to be all right with the people living around you.

Speaking of, try to take an elective in a field that is of personal interest to you relatively early on. If you're a weeb then consider a course in the Japanese language or culture or something, if you're into some genre of music then take a course in the history of that, or something in medieval occultism or whatever it is that floats your boat. Not only is it good for morale and motivation to have a fun course, but that's where you'll meet people who share your interests and probably personality.

If you have a crazy or stupid idea, go for it. Your friend is going to a midnight showing of a movie on a weeknight? Take up his offer. Want to try something wild and different with your hair? Go for it (at your discretion). As long as it isn't absurdly stupid or dangerous, this is the time to do crazy and fun stuff. You may not ever have the opportunity again.

Don't grow a beard, though. It almost always looks bad. If you aren't certain about the facial hair you're trying to grow, then just don't do it. If you can actually grow a FULL BEARD (no chinstraps, sideburns, mustaches, or anything else) then MAYBE. Clean shaven is still your best bet, though. I can't tell you how many poor saps I've seen with the absolute worst facial hair, especially in their first or second year.

I'm done trying to make friends in college. I fucking hate everyone here. If they're not normiefag party-goers, they're autistic as hell. What happened to all of the normal people from high school?

>>388172293
And that's another thing, why is it always fucking Smash (melee specifically)? I joined a gaming club during highschool, and went to the first meeting where they explained all of the games that they were going to play, and I thought it seemed pretty good. I brought in a of copy Mario Party, but the club admin said that they were going to play melee first, which at first I was fine with, I think melee is pretty fun. But then literally every single meeting after that was just the same autists playing melee until I left. 5 months later I wonder what they're up to, and lo and behold, they're still playing melee, and all the other members who aren't meleefags left. This gave a good idea of what "gaming" clubs really were going into college.

Melee is a good game, but it's too confortable and familiar for a large group of people - and that's the problem.

I feel pretty lucky that my school actually has a separate club for Smash, LoL, as well as a Tespa chapter. It's like a containment zone for autists of those types.
It does mean we don't have a gaming club, although there is Game Dev Club which does attract some idiots but the ones who actually make shit are cool.

Don't go to a gaming club or an anime club. You'll only find nerds who don't know how to socialize, not normal people who happen to like gaming. Try joining a STEM related club, and make friends with people there. Chances are some of them like nerdy stuff but are still functioning humans.

I rarely partied. I was still the same awkward faggot underneath, but you'll be surprised what happens if you just look the part of a bro.

look up the "halo effect". If you look good people assume you're a normie and will accept you, even if you're an awkward nerd (like I still am underneath my mask).

>>388173829
I was very depressed and sad for the first half of undergrad. Having normie roommates who parties and had lots of sex while I played CoD Black Ops 1 freshmen year changed me. I knew I had to change. I wanted what they so easily had.

Second half of undergrad I was mostly the same but looked the part and everyone loved me (I ended up being really good looking once I dropped 50 lbs and gained muscles lol). Now I am getting my PhD in the sciences and just work all the time and hate my life. I'm going to quit soon and make mad bank (PhDs are paid the same as grocery store employees).

Have some ass.

How do I make friends in college when everyone is in their own little group already?

Bad clubs are everywhere, even back in high school.

>Check out vidya gaem club
>Fulla weebs playin' Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and Smash
>Club also loves animu
>Furries everywhere, and the smell
>MISSION ABORT

Better route:
>Take Culinary elective
>Learn basic kitchen skills
>Join culinary club
>Use skills creatively
>Become president of club
>Git gud
>Continue cooking into adulthood
>Make the panties gush

Get out of your comfort zone, sometimes it's a blast and you get something back.

Fuck clubs. Just go to shows.

Also, fuck going to blind parties.
Can you believe people actually pay an entrance fee to stand around in a backyard while everyone is inside busy getting sweaty and trying to dance to trap music but failing because it fucking reeks in there? At least at a backyard show for a band you've never seen you'll probably like the music and for the socially-inept of you there's something everyone can talk about after the gigs.

How the fuck is it "evolving"? You're literally just changing your entire being based on the people around you to fit in. You could've made friends and your own social groups if you actually gave enough of a shit to do all of that. You literally took the easiest way out you saw

He is saying a person doesn't have to drop 'nerdy' stuff altogether in order to better themselves. It's all about moderation and becoming a complete person.
He is criticizing you for just swapping vices and obsessions while you lost your identity for a perceived in-group. You have do both. Geeky/nerdy/anime related stuff while working out/being successful/etc. It's all about moderation.
You haven't learned anything. You haven't 'evolved'. You just ran away.

These kinds of parties are fun when you're a freshman but by your second year you realize how absolutely disgusting they really are. What's worse is if you live in one of these shithholes and your either forced to drink until you pass out or just suffer through the godawful music and drunk retards.

>>388176106
A natural growth due to your own ideals, morals, and taste. It's not like your ascend to a higher being or grow extra limbs or some shit. Doing it for vain reasons is change, sure, but you probably have other issues that lead to the line of thinking like "this specific group of people isn't paying attention to me, better change my entire life to fix that". What happens when the next group of people doesn't like you? Dropping what you like was entirely unnecessary and the root of my problem. I know plenty of people who lift, or run a business etc and play vidya no problem. You're meant to be your own person, not an empty mold for people to influence so easily.

Right then he confirmed himself as a pretentious cocksucker. Supermajority just means "more than a majority", so you need to specify how big of a supermajority.

1. I am not the same anon
2. After re-reading the quote chain I both think there is validity in what you say and that the meathead anon comes across as somewhat of a tool. However I still perceive his "evolution" as a positive change, at least for him. Pretty clear that he was frustrated with the hermit lifestyle that he and his peers were appropriating and being a developing college student, felt the need to change as a person. Some people end up not being very passionate about their former hobbies and become much happier with new found discoveries.

Do I think that OP should drop his love for vidya in favor of narcotics and becoming /fit/ just for the sake of fitting in? No, and I don't think that anon does either, as he stated that it wasn't for everyone. I think the bigger picture here is that he ended up being one of those people that grew out of something he in hind-sight perceived as menial and in retrospect not a definitive part of his life. It's what typically happens in college--you figure out what you actually like, don't like, want to do, don't want to do, etc. Maybe OP is going to do the same. Maybe not. It's not really advice but rather a warning for what may or may not happen. And overall I find that to be an appropriate theme for the thread.

A few tips (although I'm not an amerifag):

Don't study for grades, keep a lot of time to do some ACTUAL studying, like doing your own projects, learning programming, keeping a gym regimen. Only care about grades if you are 100% sure you want a university career. Don't, unless you find a project with a massive grant that will result in patents or some shit.

>>388164419

ABSOLUTELY join a sports club, doesn't even necessarily have to be from your college, a good martial arts dojo will also be fine.
Only consider other non-sport clubs if they have some sort of recognition and real goals/projects (robot construction, choir that goes to competitions, etc.).

>>388170220

Don't listen to this faggot, STEM is good. Engineering is tough but gives you a relatively stable career.

My only experience with a gaming club was seeing a girl with a Bernie bumper sticker on her laptop begin to freak out while the president said "please don't do this here!", and the obvious smash fags who couldn't even interact with a new person joining them. .

Find an entry-level job and do what you can to perform well and try to move up.
Save up money. Use 70% of what you earn on immediate needs like food and bills. Save 20% for short term goals, like a new PC or console or something. Save 10% for long term goals, like a car, holiday, or emergency fund.
Buy everything with a credit card, but always pay the full debt at the end of the month to build your credit score. Years of building your credit this way will eventually allow you to take out a loan and start a business when you become old enough to want to settle down.
Just keep in mind that getting a decent education makes this shit go a lot faster and makes it easier to reach financial goals. You don't have to be interested in it, even really fundamental shit like a course in Microsoft Excel opens a fuckload of doors for you.

In fighting games, its instant disqualification if you pause the game. There are various reasons for it, most of them psychological, some of them physical. But that's hilarious that he flipped out at you like that. Seriously, EVO wasn't even big until 2015 when streaming became a thing.

It's a simple formula. The game has all of your favorite characters right off the bat, so you can choose who you want immediately without having to base it on looks and praying that their story and voice acting aren't garbage. You even know their play styles ahead of time because of how the game functions.

Then, you have gameplay which is very easy to master, and rewards time and practice for the "good" players, with a bit of variance and luck to rewards the middling to low-tier players to keep things interesting. Combine that with the fact that the "high" tier players came up with a set of rules specifically to make sure that they do better, and you have a game with a low barrier of entry that rewards autism with characters that don't extend outside your comfort zone because they're all childhood mascots.

It's the perfect game for a fedora-tipping autist to believe that he is valuable somehow.

My favorite misunderstanding of this cosmic-horror of a mess is the fact that the guy suspects that a weak-ass nerd is secretly dating his girlfriend, and says literally nothing to clarify or stop this to either party.

How bad can it be? Respectable job but it will probably drain everything out of you.

>>388186075
The trick is knowing when to quit.
You use your loan to start things up and get the gears turning. You hire people to make the business decisions you don't know how to make. When the value in your business reaches a peak, consider setting it up for a takeover by a bigger company to make a profit. Best case scenario, if you keep it rolling long enough to build a huge value, you'd be set with enough money to relax the rest of your life, and even have enough left over to give the next couple generations of your family a decent life. Worst case scenario, yeah, you have to dig into your own pockets to pay off the loan. But there is next to no way for this to happen if you hire the right people, which is easily done with the kind of loan that 10+ years of credit building will get you.

>>388186201
This is so far down the line that you shouldn't be thinking about it so much. This is retirement shit. For now, focus on finding an entry-level job and saving money.

>>388186985
i did three years and dropped out of something i ended up hating
spend 2.5 years as mostly NEET working a few shitty jobs.
gave me the motivation to really get back into literally anything else and just finished my 2 year program.

just pick something else career-oriented rather than academic.

>>388186985
Feel the same way anon. Did 3 years of college then one day didn't show up for class again. Haven't even gone back to the school. Pretty sure I failed all those classes since I didn't drop them. Working a good paying job, but in a field I'm not interested in. Sister suggests I go back to school and finish "just to get the degree", but I see no point in it and have no motivation to do that.

Ahhh, you young 'uns and your clubs and American way of staying at college instead of home and everything.

I member, back in the year of our Lord of 2002 when I entered college. You came there for a boring lecture, had a cup of coffee with some people and went home. There was little to no clubs back then and people just did their own thing. Always wondered if I were born in burgerstan if I could have had it differently since I made literally no friends, or fuck, even acquintances in university and I am a social creature more or less. Still all my friends are from highschool and before. I do miss the good old days. Before the wife, before a job, before responsibility. Enjoy it while it lasts anons. Not that being in your thirties is horrible, but different.

>>388186985
Fuck getting an IT degree, to be honest. Pick up a book on getting your A+ and Networking+ certification, and once you have those, you will be OVER qualified for most entry level IT positions. Then you just mooch off of the pro's knowledge and learn what they can and work your way up through the ranks.

you're supposed to join an Esports Gaming club, that's where all the normal, functionally social people go

why the fuck would you want to make friends with more autistic people? you make friends with peers that will help you improve your life, not make it shittier.

Honestly that's a bit better, at least you have some kind of supplemental income to make up for the no college thing. Think about working like 1-2 short days a week somewhere easy, it'll help with the shut-in part by a lot. Assuming this isn't due to actual sever social anxiety or something.

lots of good colleges and universities have college sponsored Tespa clubs, what school did you go to?

>>388192185
this isn't even that bad. this is what the gaming club at my uni is about: "esports". aka a bunch of faggy neckbeards who think they are good at gaming and only play shitty mobas and are assuming they have enough time to go pro in the e sports scene all the while combining uni. luckily im not going to nor did i ever want to join. i already made a nice group of friends, some of them are party crazy and some of them are as autistic as i am. so for the first year im all good. second year im definitely going to join a fraternity.

Do colleges at states have any kinds of events for the new students? Pubcrawls, outdoor activities that force you out of your comfort zone, stuff like that? Making friends doesnt get easier than that, some alcohol helps everyone lower their guard.

>>388193334
hey dude are you a dutchie? because i just did that very same thing at my uni during this introduction week.

>Starting college in 2 weeks

Was planning on hitting the gym on campus and getting /fit/. Also has a boxing club that I'm thinking of joining.

Do I have a chance at making friends if I do that, or should I join another club or something?

>>388195858
Just go to every event that is aimed at new students. You'll have loads of fun and break the ice with people.

>>388195858
boxing if you want to do something fun, practical, and get strong. but don't expect to make many friends unless you are already really social. aka if you don't make friends on the campus itself you wont make any by doing boxing.

so instead do a team sport. probably by far the easiest way to get a tight circle of friends who even though they might be different still all like each other. also when doing a team sport don't join one of those "muh we're aiming for the olympics teams" you will get fucked if you make the smallest mistake/ also lot of dieting and no beer for you.

anyway tips for sports are, football(soccer), basketball, volleyball, baseball.

Maybe it was becuase I was new, didn't know them too well or maybe I'm just boring I have no idea.

-It contains all the autists and manchilds favourite characters, mario, sonic, etc
-It's a manchild's fanfiction dream "dude imagine if mario and Ganon fought OMG"
-Autism mastery is the only way they found to make the game relevant for themselves, they had to establish rules and overly complexify everything in and around the game to make it seem complex and deep. ( i could create a competition of throwing peanuts into a bowl make stupid ass complex rules, calculate trajectories angles and shit wrist movements, but at the end of the day it's still throwing peanuts in a bowl)

Not him but have you ever dealt with smash players ? they are generally a gigantic bunch of smelly fatasses, they are obnoxious noisy, weirdly fucking dessed and don't listen for shit, in those types of locations( e sports bars and such) they are generally outnumbering everybody else when they come so it's really hard for them to even let you talk let alone trying to move them out.

Listen to this guy, you should be worried about locking yourself into an okay-paying job just because STEMfags say you should. If you have any ambition you'll realise most actual jobs just want you to have a first class respectable degree (i.e. no women's studies, but biology or history is okay).

>>388205890
Table tennis, that's what I'm going to try.

I don't have much of a story, not really worth greentexting.

But the gaming society at my uni is a real mixed bag, with a core group of friends who started the society and a few outsiders (mainly East Asians). The Asians sit around playing CS:GO and Fallout on their laptops, a couple have been known to bring full tower PCs, while the friends alienate everyone new by acting weird as fuck.

My first time attending the society the overweight girlfriend of the president of the society started playing HuniePop and got everyone to gather around and watch. You would think this being a British uni, banter would ensure, but for the most part she just played the game while 5 or 6 twenty year-old men stood around her in silence. I was sat across from them and their collective panting made the air around the table noticeably warmer. When even she began to get grossed out by what she caused she just kind of closed the game and the guys returned to playing Minecraft. The session ended with us playing Cards Against Humanity which was all right though inexplicably a couple people got offended while voluntarily playing a game that is intended to offend (it should also be noted that our uni has a table-top gaming society so it was weird for the video game society to do the exact same thing, even weirder that it was the only fun I had all night).

The second time I went they spent the majority of the session in an unannounced "meeting" to discuss beef between the administration in the group. I was expected the weigh in about my "feelings" towards the vice president (who I had heard had been acting like a knob) despite only being once before and never meeting the guy. I found out he was so vilified because he decided to spend his friday nights with his girlfriend instead of at this shitty gaming society, some normie shit but he was far more hospitable and pleasant than the other members of the society when I met him during that session, especially given the circumstances.

Frats are where you pay $500 a semester and spend the first year getting raped/harassed/being a bitch. Then you are a member and you do that to the new pledges. Basically you pay money to make friends and get girls drunk at parties to fuck.

Your mistake was trying to join the club. Join a sports club, use the gym a lot (if I'm paying for that shit in my tuition, might as well use it) and study. Don't join a video game club anon but go there once in a while when they're holding a tournament or something and beat their asses cause they're probably bad at vidya anyway. Seriously, if you get /fit/ and show up, those autists will actually cower and be off their game, allowing you to beat them with ease.

He was made to step down as vice president and the new vice president was, would you believe, the overweight girlfriend of the president. This session ended with a nerf war, and again it should be noted that our uni has a "campus games" society specifically started to fill the niche of things like water gun fights, nerf wars, campus zombies, etc, so for the second time VG society just copied another society. My phone was running low on battery and the only socket was coming out of a gap in the floor (see tiny pic related) so I had to plug it in. Near the end of the session in the heat of nerf combat the most enormous guy I have even seen stepped on my phone charger, immediately breaking it. Fortunately my phone was perched perched on a chair so it avoided his deathly stomp, but really he should have looked where he was going. He was a close friend of the person who invited me so that and my politeness stopped me from getting pissed off, though I did leave early.

I never went back to the society, mainly because of the cuntiness of the president and his GF. It felt like one of those situations where these people were likely bullied at secondary school and college, so resentfully started a society at uni as a means of possessing some type of social status or power. Most of the people at VG society hated every other society, including campus games, D&D and table top, which would explain why they just copied those societies instead of just attending them. Most of all they hated anime society, which you would imagine would be infinitely cringier but the people at anime society were actually lovely, which only made VG society look even shittier.

Basically tl;dr I wouldn't recommend it. At uni if you have trouble finding a group of friends and/or socialising, I would recommend going to a variety of societies, even if you don't know anything about it.

>>388205890
The whole point of the club is to git gud at sports anon. You don't have to be good at the start. And learn to get out of your comfort zone. You will only benefit from it

>"No worries, we'll teach you, there'll be beer. It'll be fun"
>Head over

Started college at 23, first semester I made zero friends, I actually tried during my second semester and even joined a frat and ended up loving it. Don't do it if you don't wanna though.

Did you read the post? Or are you a smash player taking offense by association ?

>>388207804
Thing is the OW players were nice. There was no rudeness towards the smash kids from the OW players. They were just annoying/smelly dick heads.

>Bro how fucking cool would it be to have a Mario party night with a group of guys?
It's always fun until you actually start playing, then you start to hate each other and you unanimously decide to unplug the controllers to keep from killing each other because of a chance time gone wrong.
> Or Mario kart?
Same shit as above, except instead of chance time fucking you over, it's a blue shell.

Melee is a more honest game when you get down to it, which is why more people play it in comparison to Mario Party or Mario Kart.

>>388208219
mario party is more fun when you're all drunk, while melee is a lot harder to get into

>>388208154
>>388208171
It just sounds like the dude was talking shit about people and then got offended when they decided to fuck him over.

Or do you honestly want me to believe that he was """"completely"""" innocent in all this when the entire story is being told from his perspective?

>mario party is more fun when you're all drunk
Not really, especially when one of your friends is an angry drunk and another friend almost dies from alcohol poisoning.

I know from personal experience.

Vidya/Anime/whatever only on the Weekends. I'm serious, focus on finishing your class work during the week and focus on socializing with peers in your Freshman year. It's hard as fuck making friends with people in your senior year compared to becoming friends with dudes in your dorm.

As someone who ran his college's gaming club for a year and regularly attended their film club and sometimes the anime club, check out the film club. It's a free movie each week and you get to riff on the movie if your group is cool with that. Vidya club is worth it if you wak in and the crowd is playing stuff other than Smash Bros/ASSFAGGOTS/Overwatch. If you show up with a Gamecube/Wii and stuff like Double Dash/Mario Party/F-Zero GX/Custom Robo then you'll definitely be the favorite. Find cool party games that are 4+ players and suggest them to the guy running it (Become good friends with him even if he's a tasteless fag. If you become head of the club whenever he graduates you have the chance to reform the club into something that'd actually be worth something other than a faggot convention)

Anime Club isn't worth it in the long-run as 90% of the people there will either be casuals or fujos who squee at everything. Go the first day and get a taste of the crowd and ask yourself if these are the kind of people you want to associate with during college. Hang out with anyone that namedrops any good shows you like though.

If your school requires you to take certain courses (Like one arts, one science, one history, whatever) do that shit in your Freshman year. It's better to get those out of your way than trying to fit them in your last year along with your thesis or whatever.

If you feel the need to fap and you've got roommates cross-reference all of your schedules so you know what hours they'll all be out. You'll be labeled a creep if you fap with them in the room while they're asleep and you'll be an even bigger creep if you get caught fapping in a bathroom stall.

Would you like me to get security footage from a small esport bar in BC?

The Overwatch kids, my team especially only talked strategy amongst eachother or went out and got food. We never interacted with the smash kids because we had no reason to or felt like it with the exception of one who was a friend. They were loud as hell and would watch the Overwatch games and critique everything. Though I can't attest for the other OW teams interaction with them, my team didn't talk to them at all. Sorry buddy, your melee Fandom is cringy and degenerate coast to coast.

Keep looking. I've met several great people from my college club. Most people are obnoxious spergs, intolerable, or boring, but I waded through it and spotted interesting people that shared my interests and sense of humor

>I teach him about how to hide his powerlevel
>Sometimes he'll ask me before he buys "subtle" anime shirts
>I've probably saved him from ridicule at least 10 times
>Normal looking dude, honestly reminds me of when I was his age, kind of like a little brother to me now

He's a great kid and a good friend of mine, but nigger you can't go around with a blonde loli vampire bumper sticker on your car.

>about to go into my junior year of college
>Still have no friends
Honestly, I'm pretty happy. I go to class, head to the library, get my homework done as fast as possible then head home.
I find it relaxing. Plus I have other friends so I don't need to make any at college

>>388208659
Because that would make him look unsympathetic and ruin the narrative that smash players are horrible if they were provoked into it.

If you're going to claim innocence on a Bosnian throat singing forum, at least try not to act defensive when your bullshit starts to stink.

3rd year college here. If you're talking about being sociable and making friends you gotta be confident. People are more likely to ignore your flaws if they enjoy talking to you. Don't come off as an autist or a dick. Be the kind of person you'd want to talk about.

Something I did that got me a lot of conversation was go to the designated smoking area with a lot of people, and smoke cigs with them. For some reason those people are always looking for people to talk to. Some of the nicest people I've met I've met in the smoking circle. But if you don't smoke already and don't want to start then don't do that. It's a bad habit and I hate it. But I'm addicted now.

Learn to let things go and relax. A lot of shit is going to happen that you can't control. There's no use stressing over it. It's done. Nothing you can do but move forward. If you're late to class don't sprint the whole way there and make a scene coming in. Just accept the fact you're going to be late and keep walking. You're more likely to fuck something up if you panic. HOWEVER if you're going to be late for a final or test you should get there ASAP.

There's thousands of things you're going to learn at college, especially if you live in campus like I do and in a big city, thay don't have anything to do with class, but rather life itself. Take everything as a learning experience. Don't think you're above anything. You learn a lot just by paying attention to your surroundings and actions.

Conversely my experience with the /tg/ club I attended was pretty good, much to my surprise.

Even managed to enjoy quite a few different campaigns using a bunch of different systems and made some not-so-close friends.

These kinds of things are always a crapshoot, though.

>>388207858
I do need to go back to school but I feel it'd be awkward considering I'm about to turn 30.

I just don't think I can take anything anyone below 24 says seriously...

Well yeah everyone loves you, you bought them booze. You're a plug. You're different. They love you because you buy them things they cant.
