No, but I agree adults who still gayme are incrediblt cringey

anime website unfortunately anon kun
You can like anime but not talk and avatar-post like a troony, you know.
Hello newfriend
>he thinks reaction images on an imageboard are avatars
Back to the abominable infernal hole known are reddit you go
>reaction image implies your own reaction
>anime reaction images have you self insert as a girl
nah senpai it's about triggering those deep seated traumatic memories you have from highschool. I know you know what I'm talking about. there's no use hiding it.
Every single time I have ever seen anyone accuse someone of avatarposting in my 8 years on this accursed website there has not in fact been any avatarposting taking place
Your fault for associating everything with troons. I was casually into anime before I even knew trannies were a thing, their existence hasn't affected my enjoyment of anything one bit. Stop obsessing over freaks who have nothing to do with you
this. grow up homosexual, don't self introduce yourself and think anume is related to troons
>You can like anime but not talk and avatar-post like a troony, you know.
senpai-kun, why you have to be so baka? i am going to nakadashi you, senpai baka
Cobson website though
false however, /qa/ lost, 'party lost, kuz won, 4cuck won
>someone posts an anime image
>you start talking about trannies
just admit you have a troony fetish you can't stop talking about no matter how out of context it is. just admit you can't stop thinking about sex with trannies.
>inb4 no I don't. you're the troony.
you're the one bringing up trannies in every conversation ever. seek help.
You were in the other thread desperately trying to convince people they had a secret fetish for these dickless Frankenstein monsters. Buyer's remorse?
It's not that complicated, we just fricking hate you and laugh when your ilk rope.
Depends on the game.
Fortnite? gay.
MS Flight Simulator 2020, racing sims, PUBG, etc.? I don't see the problem.
>Games I play: good
>Games I don't play: bad
based
Pretty much how I read that lol. How is Fortnite not ok but PUBG is? Come on man
>Fortnite? gay.
>PUBG, etc.? I don't see the problem.
they are literally the same garbage
>flight simulator
>racing sims
Lmao how do people play this shit (particularly flight sim) for more than like an hr and pretend its fun? Racing sims I can understand a little more of the appeal, but personally cant get into it I assume because I actually raced cars back in HS to my early 20s.
pubg is as gay as fortnite and is as gay as every other battle royale
y'all are trying too hard
vidyas ain't as niche as they used to be and most are marketed towards adults.
just don't make it your whole personality, cause having only one quirks makes you boring to most people.
if you wanna play, just play. nobody cares, istg.
just don't forget to shower everyday
When you say dont make it your whole personality what do you mean?
I mean that you don't need to be ALL about games. to wear game t shirts all the time, for games to be the only topic you can talk about.
"Gamers™" are hella cringe because that's all they care about, if you know one of them you know them all, they never question themselves and believe games to be the above anyone else's interests.
You can play a lot, even be passionate about video games, and still have a personality and other stuff you care about.
I don't play much but I do have obsessive behaviours and am really passionate about some really niche stuff. But that's not all I am, I still pay attention to the world around me.
If you do that, you can be the autistiest of gamers, people won't find you to be cringe.
tl;dr:
Be someone who plays games, don't be gamer.
how unfathomably based can one anon be? Chad dgaf attitude right here. only b***hes cry about men who play games.
I am incrediblt cringey
You must be a real joy to be around.
Agreed. As a fellow adult I do adult things instead like browse tiktok, Twitter, Facebook, watch Netflix and drink all the time
I've met a few "people" like you irl anon, all angry, underachieving, and excessively hateful pieces of shit.
You are wasting your life on children's entertainment and you're in denial.
Whatever helps you sleep at night anon
I play video games to call little kids Black folk online
same
Same, but calling moskals.
>incrediblt
imagine being so fat you look at typos and see food
You can argue this point all you want, but playing video games as an adult will never not be cringe.
You know that defensive rant you people always fall back on anytime someone calls you out?
That's even more cringe, stop doing that.
cringe boomer take. the only people I know who don't play video games are the ones who don't own computers. it's a tough pill to swallow, but you and your worldview are obsolete.
So what you're saying is that you spend all your free time on entertainment software literally designed to keep you docile, and mentally weak from destroying your dopamine receptors?
You do you man, but holy shit they have you good.
no, I'm saying that the only people I know who don't play video games are the ones who don't own computers. of course I do other things in my free time too, how else would I know people who don't own computers?
I am happily cringe
Why is it always you either dont play video games or all you do is play video games. Since ive been a child video games have always just been something i do aftee I take care of everything else. Like if I dont have anything planned with someone else or other plans to go out and do something then yeah I'll probably just play video games. I mean what else am I supposed to do just watch tv or some shit by myself? How is that so much better?
Good job spelling, retart
>become adult
>put away childhood
>realise all adult activities are incredibly cringe inducing
>have nothing to do
>wastes life making youtube videos telling people to waste their life watching said videos
>people grow up
shocking
>people wither away and die inside
shocking
No they don't. They just get all the joy and life beaten out of them by a capitalist system that wants to enslave you from birth to death.
>pic
God I wish that were me.
I'm 28 and I bought a X201 back in 2020.
I wish I could have something stronger but at this point I've just told myself I don't need it and I do art and write stories.
Wonder if I've missed out by not playing things like GTA IV, GTA V, CSGO, League, Genshin Impact and whatever else people are playing nowadays.
>things like GTA IV, GTA V, CSGO, League, Genshin Impact and whatever else people are playing nowadays
You have not.
what a fricking terrible list of games. I don't even play games any more, but fricking hell, anon, have you no shame?
It's what some friends would play anon. I don't know if they're shitty or not and I would like to learn for myself.
fortnite unironically is pretty gud with non underage frens
Lol, the only game of those you'd not run is GTA V, but all of them are shit anyways. Embrace the retrogay/open sores pill.
Nobody plays GTA IV anymore
it's a singleplayer game, fricktard
though the multiplayer was still better than V
That X201 saved your life.
>GTA IV
yeah it was pretty good, sorry you mis--
>GTA V, CSGO, League, Genshin Impact
lol
lmao
Nobody ever thinks "I should have played more video games!". Video games are a way to waste time, your art and story writing are far better creative outlets. The only really creative part of a game is cheating. Cheats in games make it fun, allowing you to fly around the map, get armor/weapons/perks that you otherwise wouldn't have. It's fun to figure out how to get infinite health for example, and it's a great gateway into programming.
>Nobody ever thinks "I should have played more video games!"
Wrong. I should have played WoW back in 2004, but instead I played Runescape, and I feel like I have missed out. Nostalrius and Classic WoW were not the same thing, as they took place in the age of datamining. I can say the same about several video games I missed out on in their prime.
Yes, game cheating can be pretty based if you write your own cheats, but to say it's the only creative outlet in video games is flat out wrong and it tells me you were never really good at a video game.
>inb4 why take pride at being good at video games, lol loser
Why be bad at something you choose to spend your time on? lol, midwit
Yeah, I've known people who met up off of VRchat and millennials that got married off of WoW. You can't really replicate that today without some massive social circle
>the only really creative part of a game is cheating. Cheats in games make it fun,
no, games can inspire people to draw fanart or to make their own art, to create mods, to make music and entirely new games (look at 2hu), to make one entire culture interacting with the game competitively (speed running), to make entirely different, multimillion dollar genres (dota + league), etc.. Games like Minecraft get kids into engineering or actually provide a real creative outlet. Games like Planescape Torment get people to write Disco Elysium. Games ARE lucrative and can easily complement your creative outlets, but they're inherently worth defending as a fine use of your time when done in moderation.
also while I agree with creative outlets being good, you're ascribing the value of something to its potential to produce goods or something for people to consume. video games are really interesting as recreation because they're interactive pieces of code that also happen to be interactive pieces of art. there's literally nothing wrong with consuming them as long as you do so healthily.
it's telling that none of the detractors replied to this
>Nobody ever thinks "I should have played more video games!".
I've undoubtedly missed out on peak Internet culture in the early 2000s by only playing flash games. I mean, I tried, but my internet was so terrible i wouldn't ever be able to connect. I'm legitimately kinda salty over it and wonder how it would've been every once in a while.
the only mistake is choosing a career path that leaves you so drained that your time after work is filled with things to pad out the time till you can go to sleep.
>Wonder if I've missed out by not playing things like GTA IV, GTA V, CSGO, League, Genshin Impact
hell no
get a job
>Video games are a way to waste time, your art and story writing are far better creative outlets. The only really creative part of a game is cheating
as long as people live healthy lives outside of gaming, looking down on people for how they choose to spend their spend time is dumb. there's no difference between gaming or watching a movie or tv. you are only tricking yourself if you think one time sink is different to another
btw playing games isn't a creative outlet and what you're describing is a side project and a completely different use of your time. gaming isn't at all equivalent to actively engaging yourself to make something
homosexual
>Wonder if I've missed out by not playing things like GTA IV, GTA V, CSGO, League, Genshin Impact and whatever else people are playing nowadays.
Lol you actually saved a lot of time. Lol and assgayots in general is picrel (also dota2 is dead). GTA is garbage sandbox for the edgy and so is souyberpunk. CSGO is filled with turdworlders who hack and CS LAN back in the days is much better, GI is gacha shit making you spend more in the game, the story is also not worth - just watch the next anime isekai instead.
Just do your shit. Write story, do Character designs or whatever, be productive and publish your book. Don't let the gpu meme get you. Only buy gpu when you're actually working with 3d sprites and spend your time on /3/. Gaming is dead. At this point just emulate the other shit. You're not really missing out.
What you're missing out is https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=Gw1I7fqmxmA
I thought Cyberpunk 2077 was pretty good after the 1.5 patch.
GTA Online was fun, I don't care what anyone says. I have thousands of hours. Open world games are always fun to play with friends and gta is always feature rich open world. Also I love dunegon-esque grinding and contact missions are basically that. Load into a private instance, go through the "dungeon"
I just finished GTA V today, actually.
No, you're not missing out on anything. Play games for yourself and only yourself, not to "fit in".
If you want your games rated by me well...
>GTA IV
Good.
>GTA V
Mediocre but can be fun at times.
>CSGO
Mediocre and the exact kind of game that I expect tryhards to raeg at
>League
Shit
>Genshin Impact
Shit
>GTA IV, GTA V, CSGO, League, Genshin Impact
yeah, nah
not missing out on shit
you might get a kick out of fortnite unironically though
You are missing on the porn
we can agree that gayming in general is for children
So why waste your teen years on something that doesn't carry into adulthood? Literally throwing time and money into the trash.
Tell that to teen me.
This might sound like a cope but it's not. As a software developer I actually wish I had played I wider variety of games during my teen years. It seriously helps with socializing at work when the number one hobby of 90% of my colleagues are video games, the rest 10% are some outdoors autists. Sure I can small talk about news and complain about taxes and stock markets, but I the way software developers' eyes light up as someone starts talking about gaming is something different.
You are probably just like me and fell into the meme of "growing up". I wish I had gone to business or some other turbonormie industry.
Because life is not just about money. It's fine to play bing bing wahoo as an 8 y/o.
i rlly want to frick zoomer
how long did it take to get that trip?
I am 22 and have lost all motivation to play video games, besides Pokemon GO and 1st party switch titles.
>Pokemon GO and 1st party switch titles
stop playing games for children, find a hobby
I did, programming. My new found hobby is why I lost interest in mainstream PC/PS4/XBox games.
all video games are for children, grow up.
Idiot. Pokemon GO was made for gen X boomers. it's not as immersive/time consuming. A lot of people I know still play it even though they had families. It's a social thing so it's much better than whatever ">hobby" it is you're thinking.
you have maybe 3 years left of good neuroplasticity, I suggest learning a language or an instrument instead,
you also have little time to max out bone density and vo2 max
tfw turning 30 next month and the only game I play is mario kart on the switch. Even then I can't do more than an hour a day anymore. I used to no life Runescape for years but all the magic of video games has left me. And I couldn't be happier.
Damn dude that sucks. Even now at age 25, i'm still actively playing games with friends. Just yesterday we did some insurgency sandstorm.
I just replaced it with adult shit (owning a house takes up a bit of time, so does being married) and studying / learning. Not as fun, but just getting out of the monotony of daily life is fun enough for me now.
>age 25
>actively playing games
>muh frens
Why do you give yourself as an example if you are typical kidult with brains of 15 y.o. teenager?
Can you repeat that in english?
I only play Genshin on PS4 nowadays, never really cared about PC gayman
>not knowing the pleasure of popping pills and playing bad company 2 at work when boss isnt around
I'm 23 and finally built my own dreamt PC with my hardwork money.
I do use it to play games and run ML models like Stable Diffusion.
Don't let your dream be dreams, if you can't find motivation do a dopamine detox or something. Can't find time? Bullshit, I work 9-5 and sometimes work overtime, unpaid, and also go to the gym at least 3 times a week, 15 min from my house in bike full moron speed.
I built a gaming PC only because it's a better platform to play fighting games online in. Offline tournaments always use consoles. I have made quite a few friends in the local FGC but sometimes i wonder what it's like to do things with women
PC has no games. They spend all their time waiting for console ports, or playing shitty RTS "games", or talking on forums about their rig achieves 60fps at 1440p but not playing anything.
Just buy a console.
Bloodborne for PC never ever
schizophrenic_console_user.txt
No, soul indie games > soulless console games.
>build pc originally to play games
>now use PC for AI workloads
tbh i'm just glad my hardware isn't going to waste, i had fun playing when i did, and i still do occasionally, but i got too much shit to do these days
>t. 29yo
Games are for children. It's completely normal for adults not to be interested in playing.
What ""adults"" do instead, play golf? lmao
You mean something where you can enjoy the outside and socialize with other people irl?
Yes?
Unless you don't fit society's standards because politishits has everyone arguing. I'm lucky to have found a small group of geek friends and a gf (female) that aren't obssessed with that shit.
Adults take up cycling and spend tens of thousands on nice bikes. Did you miss that development milestone?
>What ""adults"" do instead, play golf?
No! Worse they waste all their money drinking, smoking, gambling and partying. Also traveling these morons believe they visiting Paris for a week for sightseeing will somehow enrich their life. Some even suck mr goldstein's wiener in hope of him giving them a better position in the company(he won't).
The better hobbies you can pick up is drawing, playing an instrument, cooking, gardening, fishing, camping, hiking or going to the gym, basically anything that keeps you in shape or endorse your creativity. you grow more as a person the joining a DnD club(or any hobby club) than sightseeing in Paris.
I go hiking/camping in the summer and I play video games/go skiing in the winter. Anyone who tries to make you feel bad about playing video games is either trying to sell you something, or he's massively insecure and trying to get an imaginary one-up on you.
They travel and have sex
live in constant debt and depression
There's nothing more unsightly than an adult preoccupied with proving his adultness.
There's a couple great PC titles (Portal, old CRPGs like Fallout, etc.) but other than that agreed. In general I felt games were more finely crafted when the exact hardware it would play on was known (either consoles or older PCs), and when ""graphics"" weren't such a meme. So much bloat in games nowadays are associated with needlessly HD graphics and overly demanding hardware/driver support. Gaming really peaked with the Dreamcast
>"games are for manchildren lmao"
>spends 10 hours a day arguing on 4chins
I did get some money from mining and selling high ranking accounts so it is not that much of a waste.
>too little motivation to procrastinate on vidya
You have depression.
Well, luckily for me games turned to shit soon after I stopped caring about them.
The only thing I miss is being excited for a game coming out. Other than that, not gaming as much has given me a lot of free time which I waste on this trash website.
Leave this board nobody cares for your dumb gaming hot takes.
Can't relate. I play regularly. I'm 32. Autumn and Winter is gaming time for me and my squad of childhood friends. We will play Total War Warhammer 3 immortal Empires, Warhammer Darktide, Satisfactory. After long gaming sessions at 2 or 3 in the morning, we will chill for some time in voice chat and watch World Star Fight Compilations. Shit is mega cash. You are doing it wrong.
>I just sit and watch Netflix or Youtube during the little free time I have
This sounds like a personal problem. It also sounds like a one-way ticket to transition into a useless moron whose entire personality is ripped off from fictional characters.
I did the same for Elden Ring, Disco Elysium and catching up with great titles released in the last several years and I wasn't like the doomer below, I actually loved my time and felt such gratification having finally bought everything I wanted as a kid and fulfilling my childhood needs that I couldn't then because I was from a poor working class family. Besides, do you want to know why gaming on PC isn't a mistake? One reason is modding, other reason is emulation and the third reason is GOG.
People who don't game are just too stupid to game, it's really simple.
Partially true
Modern computers and games are utter trash. They used to be good.
>They used to be good.
Old games, even the ones you don't know about, are still good.
Tons of good indie shit out there. Stop being a gay who judges everything is like AAA shovelware.
The only games worth a single shit in today's world are AAA games. All other """games""" fight for scraps at the bottom.
>The only games worth a single shit in today's world are AAA games
Most AAA games are buggier than the average itch.io unity asset flip these days.
name 5 older games that are good. Go ahead I will wait.
Not spoonfeeding you, gay.
depends on what you like but i thought Diablo I, UT2004, GTA 2, WC 3 fun maps and point-and-click adventures/detective stories were pretty dope
of course those are just a more or less random choice, there are many many other memorable titles from around that time like rayman 2 and tonic trouble, gothic 2, morrowind, hl2, WoW, splinter cell to name just a few
Old computers are hot diarrhea, lots of old games are still great though. Hell most of them run better in dosbox than they did on anyone's 90s era PC
>like games as kid
>too tired and not enough time to play games as an adult
Not just games.
This applies to everything in life.
Welcome to free range slavery.
>build overkill PCs "just in case" I decide to do heavy gaming
>I never do
Last time I make this mistake, I swear.
No, I love gaming on the PC. You have a lot more choice and gaming on consoles sucks. I met my friends of 12 years now playing some now shit Korean game.
playing old games on cheap computer and modded handhelds is comfy stop being a moronic consoomer
>have $1500 gaming PC
>just play doom wads and jerk off
If I knew who I'd be at 30 when I was 16, I would've killed myself then.

that's most people I know kek
I unironically play dota auto-chess and diablo 2 all day LMAO
y'all need to chill with youtube lifestyle gurus
play a game every now and then, it's part of life. Doesn't need to be an addiction, you can do anything if healthily
it's not because of video games that you aren't a millionaire, it's because your parents ain't rich. So do yourself a service and jack off or play games every once in a while to dull the pain of having a job or hustling as an "entrepreneur".
>inb4 copium
I barely play a game of isaac every few days, I ain't the one on copium. y'all are larping as entrepreneurs
Can we get one for TV and smartphone addiction as well? I have a feeling you'll want to follow that one real close
>it's another self-help hustler episode
Where can I buy his book(s)?
You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. He ain't selling shit.
I forgot they're all running Patreon channels nowadays
SteamDeck is the solution
>dude you have to HUSTLE bro life is about SEX and MONEY
these people are souless automatons and worthy of nothing but pity
they're not wrong, it's much better than videogames
eventually you see the industry pumping out the same games over and over and nothing feels exciting anymore
and putting your penis into the same flesh wound over and over is different?
just by your description I guess you never experienced it
Thats why you frick all kinds beyatches, and make a harem life
>nothing feels exciting anymore
then go do something else lol. this dude in the video is trying to talk people out of having fun and says he finds thinking about WoW in the shower "disturbing". I had to stop watching at that point.
I do plenty of things
looking back at all the time I've spent playing games until my 30s it just doesn't seem like a worthy hobby anymore, the world is just full of things I haven't experienced yet
but I understand these coaches take it too far until you barely enjoy life anymore lol
creativy breeds when there are limitations, we get these souless games with pretty graphics that barely function all the time
That's a you problem. If there is a genre that is stale, then we have hundreds or thousands of other quality games ranging from flash games, indie games, to AAA games.
Hell I consider this age to be a golden one for gaming. Hardware limitations are barely a thing anymore. Powerful engines such as unreal can allow one to create ray traced eye candy or open GameMaker engine and create a 2D sprite platformer. There's no moronation in the past like the bit wars or "3D killed 2D games." People can make whatever they want.
Used 1080ti goes for ~$200
Used 5700XT goes for ~$200.
They're both top tier GPU few 3 gens ago.
Bottom pic is literally me, except I'm still using an old outdated poorgay video card rather than a dream PC.
yeah nah I'm glad I still enjoy video games
modern mainstream shit is shit, sure, but there's so many old/obscure games that I know I'll always find something I enjoy.
You don't NEED a good PC for gaming. Majora's mask runs just fine on my dell inspiron 6400
I PCG'd before Denuvo, always online, microtransactions, and all the other 'innovations' introduced to the hobby by people who actually hate gaming
It was a glorious time, a golden age of games. No way I'd put up with half the shit zoomies are forking over their money for today
Zoomers would rather watch people play games then play vidya themselves. That's how bad shit has gotten
I still think streaming and twitch is a cancer upon the hobby. Let's Plays had some sort of production values. Streaming is just watching hours of gameplay waiting for something interesting to happen with pauses every 15 minutes for the streamer to read out superchats.
>build $3000 PC
>only browse 4chin and watch israelitetube
>only play 1-2 hours of actual gaymen each week
it's not even that bad of a deal, if you're like me, you'll use the 3k gaymen PC for the next 10 years
>hurr durr stop wasting time playing games, waste time on activism instead!
If all you do is play games, then yes you have problem. There is nothing wrong to play games every once in while.
I got about $1.2k worth of cash from gifts at the age of 16 over 5 or so years
I spent that money on buying and building the best PC I could and it was pretty fricking great
Had a HD 7970 Ghz and played everything I wanted to which was a huge step up from my school laptop with integrated graphics
Still ended up playing DOTA and minecraft on it the most
gameplay >>>>>>>>> graphics
it's what zoomies and AAA companies don't seem to grasp.
Well 1080p and 60 fps is a bare minimum for me
Also I do like graphics a lot
MGSV had graphics that I found to be really immersive, granted it came out in 2015
I never buy games new, only a few years after they come out and are on sale so I guess I miss out on the whole graphical hype thing
if you relate to this picture then you're probably untreated adhd
I spend most my time reading books these days but gaming is still great
I'm just prone to playing games too much
For example I recently reinstalled DOTA and played for 20 hours over the weekend
I've been playing games since the late 80s. The only thing that changes as you get older is what you like. There's an upside to this though; you quickly learn that the constant upgrade mania is a fools game. So you end up saving a shit load of money.
got my first pc in 2004
upgraded 2017
these fricking things last forever
I like my steam deck, it actually got me to play some games. I have a beefy computer but I use it for work and most of the time I'm not working on it I don't feel like hanging around playing video games at my desk
Thought I was on Ganker for a second. So wyat games are you playing, Ganker?
no
you don't have time and/or energy to play games have nothing to do with PCs
>self-help grifter with patreon
>he isn't even a good one at that
>3.4k views in 2 years lmao
>no comments, i can't handle critciism
you take people like this seriously?
No.
The industry went to shit and PC gaming is now aimed at the same morons that console gaming is.
Prices of the games went up, early access and selling unfinished garbage became the norm, day 1 DLC, matchmaking instead of dedicated servers, companies cancelling mods, and overall everyone being a massive fricking israelite.
Reject modern gaming, embrace tradition, play old games and don't give your shekels to those fricking israelites.
Not really, I just realized that great game doesnt need to hava hardware needs of nasa supercomputer.
And that multiplayer, grinding and practically anything that doesnt allow developer mode of some sort is waste of time.
I made it to adulthood, got a job and made money but I don't wanna spend it right now.
I haven't gamed in ages but I might get a switch to play indie games just to destress I guess.
If I realize that's a dumb idea(happened before) I'll build a pc to run blender and CUDA so I can use it for research + making my own games.
as a free adult who doesnt have to work "neet"
i very much love pc gaming time
I've the time and the money, the real blackpill is that modern games made for this b***h ass generation of zoomers FRICKING SUCK
i'm 26 and i can't be bothered playing video games now was i as kid just a moron amazed by the gaming leaflets?
As a kid you had no real problems or worries so focusing and actually enjoying video games was easier.
Wageslaving was a mistake
depressing
My family was poor as kid, but now that I growed up and have a job, worked hard and bought a rtx2060. I'm playing Elden Ring in Ultra when I come home from work, and it's amazing.
I've never been able to play the games my friends used to play, but now I can, although I no longer have friends.
>all these anons saying basically everyone they know plays vidya
How old are you guys? Im early 30s and most of my friends actually dont play video games outside of occasional COD or shit like Madden and barely even then.
I'm the dude who said only people without computers don't play video games and I'm 27. Also I recommend Valheim, it's pretty fun, especially with friends.
Stop being a homosexual fomo consumer and buy according to your needs. Keep using it until it cannot meet your needs.
I know it's shit posting, but some of you gays are way too obsessed with productivity and trying to fit in. Games in moderation are fine, especially if you are filling the time the people you so desperately want to look normal to spend rewatching shit like the office.

that's all on PC, not what i had on various consoles , i had to think and search google just to recall the names of these
BF2 Project Reality is the last video game i've played(july 2016). I did mess with Shattered Pixel Dungeon during christmas 2018, but tha'ts it. I played sudoku on my phone in speing 2020 until i realized it's a dumb game. Now, i started playing Lichess in April 2022.
>2000's normie package
Pathetic.
I was playing Quake & Unreal too, but I was like 5-8 years old. I was born in 1995.
I also forgot to add Chivalry.
>I was playing Quake & Unreal too
There's nothing more normie in 2000's than Quake and Unreal Tournament.
I don't understand why a doomer is on the below section.
I also had a shitty poorgay PC when I was teenager and couldn't play all games I wanted
Now I have a great computer, but I am an adult and it's totally normal that I don't to play videogames anymore, at least regularly.
Is the fricking lack of standards that makes PC gaming a shitshow and Nvidia creating proprietary shit that fricks over Intel and AMD every month, Steam made it a little better
Worse PC in 2000's actually opened me doors to better games from the golden age of RPGs.
I have high end PC right now, but modern gaymes which I can run with no problem are all about graphics, they don't add anything to gameplay that was invented back in the 90's. "Indie" exceptions are rare.
I make good money but I have nothing to spend it on, single dude and don't care about much. I play irregularly.
this is just the "free time energy money" image but way gaygier
Games were just cooler back in the playstation 1 and 2 eras. (and pc, xbox classic era). Now its all remakes and rehashes of those same classics. Then you've got this little thing: "We can't offend anyone" that's got everyone scared stiff now. Actually doing a decent modern game on a new concept is a pipe dream today. Take NOLF (No one Lives Forever). It was a good computer game. Would such a game get made today? Frick no.
>1990
>"can't wait to be an adult have money and buy a powerful pc to play the newest coolest games"
>2022
>"new games are absolute shit, let's go back to playing NES and SNES games"
The most fun I ever had playing videogames was playing Goldeneye for the N64 with my school friends. Two of them are dead now. I miss those days
>Goldeneye
Good game
What happen to your friends?
Motorbike accident killed one, the other one I think died last September from some type of disease. Found out from this sister's Instagram. Sad, we used to be really close in high school, but that was decades ago.
hey alexa play Okkusenman, it's time to cry
I'm a 26 year old man who emulates PS2 games and enjoys it. How does this make you feel?
Proud. How else are people going to play the original classic ace combat? I know I do with the emulator.
Damn, at least one of them died doing what they loved, I hope.
i wish gaming was still fun. now i just open a game and close it after 30 minutes 🙁
Yes, people who play games on PC tend to be mentally ill and out of touch with life. Seems like a lot of people defending their gaming habits in this thread are too.
