There are people out there that only consume video game media and nothing else. No movies, no shows, no music. Just Twitch stream and games.

How can someone be so sucked into one thing. It's disgusting.
>>
>>389836496

That almost identifies me, I still watch YouTube and a few shows every once in a while, but I haven't had cable nor watched cable TV in over a decade and I don't like movies because I feel like I could be doing something more productive instead of sitting there doing nothing for several hours at a time.
>>
>>389836496
Its been me for a while now. I watch shows and shit but I feel like I put too much time into twitch. I blame movie industry though. Last movie I watched was literally 1989s Warlock because I was out of ideas
>>
>>389836593
But wouldn't you say games are sitting around doing nothing? I'm a creative person and I can't imagine only play games and not enjoying other mediums. My knowledge of the world and art would be limited and that would drive me crazy.

>Cannot stand streams
>Tfw all these twitchbait meme games recently
The only media I don't have as much time for these days are books, which I regret a little.
>>
>No music
You can't convince me there's a single person in the world that doesn't listen to music on occasion, third-world subhumans don't count.
>>
>>389836741
I seriously don't know how people can watch that shit because it's a lot of nothing for 30 minutes or an hour and something finally entertaining happens. What's worse is having twitch chat flooded with memes. There's nothing interesting to consume. But same, so many other things busy me so I never read. I'd love to read but I have a hard time understanding what I'm reading without reading. Making the thought of doing it kinda like a chore.
>>
>tfw spend time equally playing vidya, watching films and reading books (actual books, not fantasy shit)
I laugh my ass off when a person who only plays video games says shit like Nier or MGS have good, deep stories.
>>
>>389836839
do you consider 24 hour dubstep streams as someone who listens to music
>>
>>389836839
There are loads of people who stop searching for new music after a certain age. It's not as bad as no music whatsoever, but it's extremely common.
>>
>>389836890
exactly, people think neir is intellegent dialogue compared to movies with good dialogue.
>>
>>389836496
I play japanese games, watch anime and read manga.
>>
>>389836839
I don't. The only media I consume are books, movies, TV, and obviously video games. I'm pretty clueless about any famous musicians (past or present), outside of the few that have close ties to the production of the previously listed mediums.

So?
>>
I play video games, watch anime and read/watch hentai. It's the degenerate trifecta.
>>
>>389836496
That always tends to happen to people. That's YouTube for me. I still play a few games here and there but YouTube swallows up most of my already limited free time.
>>
Wow, it's almost as if people like different things.

Stop liking things I don't like! In fact, I'll call you disgusting for liking things I don't want you to like. That will show you.

Check the Warlock game on Genesis, it's suprisingly good.

Oh you know, the rap. Little John and Sneaky Dog. Sir Mackalot.

>>389836839
I might enjoy listening to some when they get played on the radio while I'm driving/at work, but I never search for or actually listen to music by myself.
It's actually something people have been bugging me for years saying it isn't natural for someone to not listen to music and I just don't understand it.

This honestly is such a hard question. I guess everything because every genre has its bad and good songs.

Maybe except kpop

You listen to music though.

Electro/swing
>>
>>389837494
They usually want to know artists you like.
I just say I don't follow anyone in particular and listen to whatever songs I like and they usually leave me alone with music questions after that.
>>
>>389837000
Actually Nier's dialogue is comparable to dialogue of some of the best and most thought provoking movies like The Third Man, The Seventh Seal, Ikiru and the like.
>>
>>389837841
It's literally impossible to not listen to music then.
You turn on the car and so does the radio, you play a game and it has a OST, you go to the supermarket and they are playing the local radio, etc.
>>
>>389837494
"I have no taste in music and listen to whatever suits my mood or is enjoyable."

What a literal fedora response.

It's the same as being asked about video games or anything else really.
I only know how to get autistically sweeped up in telling them about everything I like and why I like it so much or I play it cool and say something like "eh a lot of stuff" and try and switch the focus back to them.

>>389842349
In my experience "Everything" is generally what people tell you when they're a bit embarassed about their taste in music. Or they don't know how to categorise what they listen to. Or when you don't know them well enough for them to disclose it.

If it's "Everything, you know recently I've gotten really caught up in old school snoop dogg. Oh and the latest album from the preatures is top shit. I listen to dimmu borgir at the gym though, that really gets the blood pumping. What about you?" it's fine, they probably listen to a variety of music. Even if you don't like snoop

I don't find that too strange, what is off is that a lot of people like usually only play ASSFAGGOTs and flavor of the month shit. To be so invested in vidya is understandable, but to be so invested while also refusing to actually play anything outside of a very limited comfort zone is baffling. You'd think they'd get bored of it eventually.

I don't enjoy watching tv because very few shows interest me. I listen to music when I'm in the car going somewhere. Video games enthrall me more than anything else. Most other hobbies I'm just not interested in. Being passionate about one thing over everything else is fine, you're narrow minded OP.

I didn't listen to music in the last 15 years, the last time I was in a cinema was the opening night of 28 days later, never watched streams for more then a couple of minutes and stopped watching normal TV around 1999.

That being said I play a shit-ton of games, read thousands of books, have seen every worthwhile movie in the last 100 years (plus tons of TV shows).
