>compfags get dopamine rush from bragging about mashing buttons faster than others >games are about giving dopamine rush from mashing buttons
i fail to see how he spoken like a true shitter.
The original purpose of play behavior is self improvement. Games offer a save environment to train for real situations. Thats why u get a dopamine reward. If there was no evolutionary benefit to play you wouldn't naturally like it.
Entertainment merely hijacked the existing routine with mindless achievement chasing to maximize addiction to milk you.
Pressing buttons to see animations play on a screen is in no way analogous to real life.

use your brain ffs. Typing speed is the first thing that translates. That aside autists can learn small talk with guild chats and immigrants in general can learn the language better.
corporate gays made it that way. videogames were made in academic mediums way before the ability to commercialize it was possible.
the crash that happened was the industries first attempt at making dopamine inducing slop instead of decent games.
thats true for certain games like smash which is a fun casual fighting game
ofc you sometimes get fags like this that are afraid of playing actual competitive games
It's the fucking gay loser moron retard who has no accomplishments in real life and so must get a sense of "accomplishment" vicariously through playing videogames for children in slightly difficult ways
Forcing tryhards and casuals together with matchmaking creates a very anti-fun environment. sometimes I just want to play sniper rifle with ironsights in battlefield. I hate always having to pick the best gear and weapons for a very specific role and not being allowed to experiment or dick around. player hosted servers allowed for this, matchmaking does not.
You made this thread yesterday. And yes; online in games is cancer, the novelty wore off fast and it's a terrible game experience just like the shitty games advertised as "competitive" (which is a scam since games are competitive by definition when have vs modes).

Chess is in the same boat as vidya.
I'd say the same for sports unless you're good enough to turn pro and make money. >boxing/grappling/mma/MAs get a pass as they are actual useful skills
I immediately grasped what he was getting at
Some random moderately charming moderately handsome asshole would get laid 24/7 before the internet was invented and women gained algorithmic access to every Chad thundercock in driving radius
The same way you could be better at Smash than all your friends and neighbors but you go online and face somebody who no life meta deconstructed it every second for the last decade

Peacocks can no longer fly because women peacocks always chose the males with longer tails. Women are retarded and only care about confidence, whether real or fake.
It’s not hard to woo women, I just wish less of them were so fat and mentally ill

The feminist propaganda worked wonders, removing it would do wonders for future generations.

"women" no its a subset of retards. Just like not everyone is a gacha moron. You looking at outliers by nature of prefiltering women with dating sites. The good ones you wanna fuck arent on those platforms.
I don't really get the appeal of playing with randoms in the internet but each for their own. I could be playing with bots for all I know, so I rather just play with bots
playing fighting games with friends sucks unless it's some unpopular game no one is good at and everyone is drunk. Otherwise there's always that one guy who rapes everyone and no one is having fun.
skills translate. If you played any fighter you will destroy noobs who only play gta or whatever.
We swapped to RNG games like mario party because of that. Stategy games also work since even if you rts god you cant win if you dont understand units.
Not really, maybe if you only bring it out once in a while but whenever my friend group hangs out irl we almost always play some MK or SF and while yes one of us is better than everyone else we all have played enough to atleast know how to do moves and hold our own.
Also with enough alcohol even the best SF player in the world is shit.
I love playing with my friends, playing against randoms is something I have no interest in, as I'm not particularly competitive, so it takes me a lot of time getting to know someone before I can enjoy trying to beat them. The simple fact that someone is willing to go on the internet and compete automatically proves they're not the sort of people I want to play against. There's nothing wrong with those people, I just play differently.
So that person who might be a champion among their friends feels bad when playing with better players online because they lost. But how are the friends who are losing to the "champion among friends" feeling? Why is one bad but not the other? Are those friends not "losing confidence?"
Gamers are pathetic because they intentionally cry that they get the shit kicked out of them in games they intentionally play with the outcome of winning, if you don’t wanna lose git gud and if you think gitting gud is too hard (it’s really not you’re literally just tapping buttons bro) then maybe you should rethink how much of a bitch you are lawl
That's why I play games exclusively to make people's experience worse. Halo? Yeah im camping the sniper rifle spawn for my team and jumping off the map with it. Fighting games? I'm going to projectile spam as much as physically possible. Master Duel? I slow play anyone using a meta deck. (I wfh and am being paid to do this essentially) Forza? Yeah I bought a car with the highest acceleration Stat in the game and I will slam it into one specific person repeatedly instead of trying to win.
No problem, it was pretty damn good. For future reference, I used saucenao. It couldn't find it at first but then I highlighted the girl to narrow down the results which led to the correct one.

>If only online gaming was more conducive to letting players seek out and play with like minded players instead of just MATCHMAKING MATCHMAKING MATCHMAKING NO INTERACT ONLY MATCHMAKE
imagine playing modern online games
how the fuck is online the reason here? if you only casually play than the person that owns the game is gonna destroy everyone else
Like me with my friend group in smash or my friend that has played a lot more tekken than me destroying me most of the time
Because if you play like a giant tryhard gay, your friends won't play with you. There's no such limitation online.
"Competitive" vidya are only fun for manchildren. Kids and normal adults just want to jump in and play. Nintendo has zero incentive to pander to pedophiles who spend 12 hours grinding the same game every day (ie, the type of people to engage in online fighting game multiplayer). Especially since you can just look at the sad state of regular fighting games as a perfect example of what happens when you DO cater to people who think grinding an online fighting game is a good way to spend your limited time on earth.
I don't, I care about having a good time. Playing with real friends is more fun, and my real friends aren't neurodivergent enough to play fighting games so I go easy on them 100% of the time.
Do you have friends? It's hard to grasp if you don't.
I can call you a pedophile again, but it would be pretty redundant by now.
Let me reiterate: fighting games and their core fans deserve the sad state the genre is in.

What on earth did he mean by this? It sounds like he's saying the game isn't fun if you lose, and even if you're playing with friends people still lose.
I STILL btfo my little cousins and nephews at Smash.
It's only fair enough, I fucking suck at Fortnite, handicaps make it a little more interesting though.
The only experience sucks because only for the game is just fucking terrible. It has nothing to do with try hards. If you want to play with friends, you basically need a separate device to communicate with them. Its such a shitty process.

Or you could just accept that someones better than you and move on and find someone at an appropriate level for yourself. No matter how much you nerf a game, there will always be someone better than you. Smash ultimate is proof of this. Even if it comes down to 1 button automatically kills the other player on contact like divekick.

Thats not the point.
The point is its easy to give up in matchmaking centric games because ultimately you are playing on your own against the world.
There is no social contract, effectively you are just playing against a bot that is better than you and often taunts you sometimes in offensive personal ways that wouldnt be allowed without some form of reprimand.
Matchmaking is a cold soulless experience.
Its no surprise that the generations raised on it dont even bother socializing in game.

dickychads, we gonna be eating good
if we follow the example of sneedville guy, marriage should last till death. If not, then its no different than your average fuckboy with their ugly hags they grow bored from every few months while scarring them long term, your choice I guess
I get it, but what about people who want to play competitively online? What are they supposed to do, fucking die? Not buy the game? Everyone should get a fair shake but it's not fair to tell one group to fuck off for wanting to have fun too.
Because it's a party game, and you shouldn't be expected to live it. As soon as the dude next to you starts wavedashing as fox, demanding "items off," you'd have a quicker road to a good time by kicking him out of your home and fighting the bots.
Because winning/lose do not have anything to do with having fun which is the purpose of a videogame. Circling around the fun of your game about winning or losing makes you an assgay.
The term tryhard is endlessly funny because anyone who uses it implicitly admits they would have to try really hard to match the level of their opponent who might just as well be holding back
They're literally saying they're shit and somehow they don't realize that
>Tryhards make everything less fun.
You completely missed the point.
What makes multiplayer games less fun is playing with complete strangers who you will never meet again. When you're playing with friends and family, you're bonding. When you're playing with randoms, no one has any incentive to care about anyone else, and so no one does, creating an apathetic if not hostile atmosphere depending on the level of anonymity.
I am not a competitive fag, but playing against a kid and completely blowing him to pieces is no fun. Likewise having someone that completely drags you around like a rag is boring, best match in my life was with dudes that had around the same level of skills
fps games solved this so long ago with custom servers and having groups who get together to play so you had a wide variety of player skills you will never get that with 1 on 1 fighting games and trying to force the two together will just end in frustrated noobs who drop the game after enough loses and especially so when the playerbase dwindles to the players who are just good at the game.
I have a friend who had strict parents, they had video games but it was a reward and they couldn't borrow games. His brother went to university, kid was exceptional intelligent and instead of video games the kid elected to get books because their reward-allowence system gave like 30 books for 1 video game. I remember all this because that brother went to university and for the first time got to play games, and his first game was smash bros.
Fast forward, this kid is like a community legend, but he never completed university, he lives on welfare and is a huge disappointment to the whole family, my friend included.
>90's >go to arcade >majority of games are 2-4 players >some co-op stuff, but mostly head-to-head with strangers at the arcade >everyone is happy >2023 >the problem with online gaming is you can lose confidence because you'll encounter people better than you
That's not the problem at all. The problem is everyone knows every game inside out now, and if you don't keep up on the meta you can't even stand a chance of winning. That's not the fault of online gaming, just the fault of the internet. Brood War was more fun when everyone wasn't following the same build guides, fighting games were more fun when everyone wasn't using the same 1-3 broken/OP characters, and FPS games were more fun when people used whatever weapon they liked best instead of the 1-3 weapons that were shown to be more DPS/lethal than the rest.
There was always that guy who would dominate, but there would still be a wide range of skill levels and different strategies and ideas at work. Now everyone just plays follow the leader, and trying to have fun with the game instead of just doing the same thing as everyone else is a good way to get kicked out of a game. Add in zoomers deciding to treat nearly every online game as an Among Us clone, and online gaming has become the least fun way to play any game.
Competitive gaming is one of the worst things to happen to gaming, my friends forgot how to have fun, and they only play the most HARDCOREEE games out there, only talking about optimization and tier lists, games are shit now, thank god for Nintendo and Sakurai.
I'd sit next to her, gently put an arm around her, and whisper gently soothing words as she wraps her arms around me and sobs. I'd be there for her through all the hardship.
Because I'm a true gentleman, a caring soul who would be able to win her heart with PEGGLE! 2!
He's right though
Online play is shitty for things like fighting games because being the best of everybody online isn't really an attainable goal compared to being the best person of your friendgroup, or best person at the local arcade.
Theres zero point to online gaming now. Its just dumb meta gayry and muh tier lists. Also when I get together with friends, no one wants to play vidya anyway. Usually it’s just Catan and Poker with alcohol. The only games I play are single player. Yeah multiplayer used to be cool when you could join a custom server and fuck around, but all of them got rid of that. Now its all about matchmaking because all these zoomie retards have aspirations to become an “E-Sports Athlete” instead of losing weight and going outside
the worst part about games with huge interesting rosters like that is how you always see the same 5 characters. whats the point of the other 40 characters if im the only one who plays them?
it's not fun with friends either. nothing is less fun than watching other people play smash.
but go to any vaguely nerdy event, college club, etc, and some fucking imbecile will think it's a great idea to have smash set up so that the 2 people who're good at it can spend an eternity bouncing off one another while everyone else is knocked out immediately because it turns out most people who go to the anime club social spend their time watching anime, not playing smash!
this reads like i'm mad i suck at smash, but i'm so much more autistic than that: i'm mad because it's bad event planning. i can get better at smash easily, but nothing i do is going to stop people picking a bad game for the kind of people they're going to have at their events.
>it's not fun with friends either.
The fuck? The most fun I had with Smash was with friends. Granted that's probably because when you play with friends you're not fighting the meta, you're just fighting with your friends.
bad writing on my part. really i'm saying something more like "it's not a fun way to meet new people" or "it's not fun with casual acquaintances". i just wanted a quick opener for my event planning rant.
It is, though. Rounds don't last that long, so you can cycle in three of the waiters every 5-10 minutes and even while waiting you can make casual conversation with whoever is in this random group of losers or watch how the better people play if you're not that into them. The only way I can see it going poorly is if you get tourneyfags who try to disallow items and fun courses and who are too autistic to know to intentionally play in a silly way after a few victories to keep from hogging.
honestly, I hate competitive games, not because I was always losing but because as a kid none of my friends wanted to play against me because I always would win to the point where it ruined friendships.
Like These days I suck ass at games since I stopped 'playing to win' like 13+ years ago but back in the day none of my friends would play shit like advance wars against me because 8 times out of 10 I was the one obviously winning through the whole match, in FPS games like the 1st halo I would win that often that I would be constantly be accused of 'screencheating' just because I had the better aim along with decent gun and map knowledge.
like I remember one time my friend let me try some tetris knockoff game he had for his DS and I accidentally blew the sky out of his highscore that he was proud of that hard that he banned me from trying the games other modes/highscores and was never able to beat the score I set
Just unironically downplay.
One thing I don't understand in the fgc is how people don't have the fucking ability to adjust their play to their opponent. If I fight against someone on my level sure it's frame trap optimization time, but whenever I fight against a casual I just go for simple punishes and beginner combos so he can catch on and get familiar with what he should do.
For some reason elitefags think """he will surely learn how to play if I don't let him play by doing tods everytime lmao"""
ye, these days I spend most my time in multiplayer games doing stupid or meme strategies and shit which isn't any good, but back when I was a kid I didn't know the concept of 'intentionally playing bad' because when playing by myself I would spend most my time messing around and figuring out all the ins and outs of the games I played
I like Sakurai but his takes about competitive/casual dynamics are just plain incorrect. He's proven wrong by the simple fact that I and tons of other dumbass kids loved playing Melee without knowing a single thing about waveflipping or dashwobbling and what not. Taking a heavy handed approach to deliberately dumbing down mechanics in an attempt to make games accessible ironically has the opposite effect by only alienating the players who want to explore those deeper mechanics. Little Billy doesn't care if those mechanics are there or not, he just thinks "haha, funny kirby hit pikachu haha" Besides, even at the absolute scrubbiest level of like any game, the better player will win more often than not. While I really do have a lot of respect for Sakurai and believe he's done a lot of good, it makes me so mad how wrong he is about this one critical point.
Melee wasn't online. Brawl and onwards were. Within about a year of Brawl's release, the online play was exclusively Final Destination with only Meta Knight or Snake, and they would do nothing but camp either edge or sit awkwardly in the middle. Of course, Melee would have been even worse.
>implying Brawl had online capability >WAIT 20 mins for match >lag out >WAIT ANOTHER 20 mins for match >same asshole and game lags out again
We spent a ton on the Wi including the usb-ethernet adapter, new gamecube controllers, the wokrs.
And Brawl turned out to be the biggest dude.
Only for retards who can't or don't want to self-reflect and better themselves and only want reliable dopamine hits for mashing buttons
but what if I'm just a cute little girl
Women inherently lack self reflection.
>lust provoking image
Then being bratty needs correction
I will crush you online, Suzy!
>only want reliable dopamine hits for mashing buttons
that's the literal reason videogames were invented
Spoken like a true shitter
>compfags get dopamine rush from bragging about mashing buttons faster than others
>games are about giving dopamine rush from mashing buttons
i fail to see how he spoken like a true shitter.
The original purpose of play behavior is self improvement. Games offer a save environment to train for real situations. Thats why u get a dopamine reward. If there was no evolutionary benefit to play you wouldn't naturally like it.
Entertainment merely hijacked the existing routine with mindless achievement chasing to maximize addiction to milk you.
Pressing buttons to see animations play on a screen is in no way analogous to real life.
>he doesnt press buttons in office
use your brain ffs. Typing speed is the first thing that translates. That aside autists can learn small talk with guild chats and immigrants in general can learn the language better.
True and honest.
Git gud
corporate gays made it that way. videogames were made in academic mediums way before the ability to commercialize it was possible.
the crash that happened was the industries first attempt at making dopamine inducing slop instead of decent games.
what if i just want to play casually??
then you don't play against competitive players, sperg
thats true for certain games like smash which is a fun casual fighting game
ofc you sometimes get fags like this that are afraid of playing actual competitive games
>self-reflect and better themselves
Bro, it's a game.
Talking about it as if it's some kind of self improvement is super cringe.
Okay, keep crying like a bitch over getting bodied then.
Lmao loser, you were born to lose. "Self improvement" over a video game? Improving from what should be baseline in your life?
T. Crab bucket
Cry harder.
Sounds like you should reflect on showering and bettering your smell
Bro you invest way too much in video games
pretty sure dopamine relief also applies in the competitive scene, in fact, tryhards are the biggest victims of burnout
It's the fucking gay loser moron retard who has no accomplishments in real life and so must get a sense of "accomplishment" vicariously through playing videogames for children in slightly difficult ways
Getting a higher place in the rat race isn't a "real life accomplishment."
Sure but neither is playing videogames in obtuse fashion
The comic is talking about you bro
Forcing tryhards and casuals together with matchmaking creates a very anti-fun environment. sometimes I just want to play sniper rifle with ironsights in battlefield. I hate always having to pick the best gear and weapons for a very specific role and not being allowed to experiment or dick around. player hosted servers allowed for this, matchmaking does not.
Kay
Eh, I'd consider cheaters to also be tryhards in a way, and you can't do shit about that.
>Pong was button mashing and zero skill
Sure thing.
Amusingly retards like these are the reason why online games are so full of cheaters now.
You can't win at fun anon. Having fun isn't a competition and all your friends hate you for it.
Even between retards mashing buttons there will still be a winner and a loser.
i agree. make more games easier
You made this thread yesterday. And yes; online in games is cancer, the novelty wore off fast and it's a terrible game experience just like the shitty games advertised as "competitive" (which is a scam since games are competitive by definition when have vs modes).
>Damned to be at the devs' whims with patches
Cuck 101
I bet you're great at parties.
This post made all the room temperature IQ slobs mad
>LOL U MAD
Room temperature IQ reply indeed.
I can SMELL the fat neckbeard failure behind this post
Sad
Room temperature reply indeed.
Self-reflect and improve over something meaningful like sports or chess, not a fucking specific videogame. People like you are the worst.
Chess is in the same boat as vidya.
I'd say the same for sports unless you're good enough to turn pro and make money.
>boxing/grappling/mma/MAs get a pass as they are actual useful skills
Anon, it's a game.
Child!
It's funny how accurate this translates to shit like attractiveness. The internet and social media has destroyed male self esteem worldwide.
>It's funny how accurate this translates to shit like attractiveness.
>attractiveness
What
I immediately grasped what he was getting at
Some random moderately charming moderately handsome asshole would get laid 24/7 before the internet was invented and women gained algorithmic access to every Chad thundercock in driving radius
The same way you could be better at Smash than all your friends and neighbors but you go online and face somebody who no life meta deconstructed it every second for the last decade
Was this an experiment?
I'd say the desc makes it very obvious. And yet they fell for it.
Are you new? This has been done several times with different profiles and women always answer positively, even if the guy behind the profile is unfunny as fuck, aggressive, creepy, or straight up insulting they'll still want to meet them to get dicked.
The overwhelming majority of women using dating apps only match with the top 5-10% of men and don't care how much of a piece of shit they are.
So according to that chart, if your personality is cool, you are perceived as more handsome?
It's the other way around, women give a good personality rating to handsome men even if they are boring, halo effect.
>pic
I'm not going to believe that without a source.
Yes. He posted it on reddit and the mods pulled the thread.
It's shocking the amount of shit attractive people can get away with.
Why are women like this?
Peacocks can no longer fly because women peacocks always chose the males with longer tails. Women are retarded and only care about confidence, whether real or fake.
It’s not hard to woo women, I just wish less of them were so fat and mentally ill
They absolutely CAN fly. You don't seem to know what you are talking about. Idiot.
They can fly but they are much more clumsy at it than females, which is why they get picked off by predators first
Apparently they have the same flight aptitude as the females, even with all of their natural glamor. Sounds about right.
Do a quick google or bing search before you post stuff like this in the future.
this image is outstanding, but one of the brehs in that discussion should really be glowing neon green
>low test, insipid beta male with no aggression, potency or ability to bully and threaten other males is assblasted that women instinctively want strong, dangerous men that can protect them and their offspring
>"why won't the females go for boring, effete losers like me? the west has truly fallen."
MANY such cases
remember this post when you chud out
How are these "strong dangerous men" supposed to protect their women and offspring if they kill them?
it doesn't matter if they protect their women, what matters is that they pass down genes that help the children protect themselves, kill competition, and reproduce
The problem is that abandoning tour family in this day and age often leads to genetic dead ends.
wrong. black people are thriving
Yeah but morons aren't.
black people = morons
go back to redddit
back in the day, dad abandoning family was pretty much the norm, yet somehow they spread more than the modern garbage
We have to accept it, idealized roles for men cucked them by creating both the biggest simps and enablers in society, therefore no control over what women did. And this crap was pushed by romanticist literature, there is no way around, it is why no matter how much effort dads seemingly put their daughters still vome out the biggest whores and sons still dont know what a boy or girl is
>back in the day, dad abandoning family was pretty much the norm
Back in the day having two families and maintaining both was the norm.
back in the day being killed by the local warlord and having your sisters being forced into his harem was the norm.
or you could come to an agreement with the warlord and endup with more lands, eventually have workers, have political influence, etc
everyone wants to do that. local warlord only makes deals with other minor warlords though. you were killed trying to become a minor warlord long before you ever had the chance to make political deals
Maybe, but worth a try
naw. i'll run away and hope to be rewarded for my cowardliness with a trip to heaven instead
Pass, I dont wanna risk it on post-life bs, specially if its of the middle eastern kind
good luck on your murder spree then
thank you
literally the psychology of every single failed male since time began
or solar cult based cultures vs lunar cult, its like a sabotage of their own brethren, treason towards them while telling them how much you care, truly the values of slaves
in english doc
cultures that based their beliefs on a solar cult usually conquered, assimilated or completely eradicated the ones based on lunar cult beliefs. There are pros and "cons" to both I guess as the later tends to outlive the first, but damn does it go through hundreds if not thousands of years of humilliation
Yes, yet the father was still going around doing whoknowswhat and thats based, nomadchads win again
didn't read
Based. Embrace the primordial truth and become moronpilled, manlets need not apply.
how do I as a short white male moronmaxx so I can obtain dicky?
You have to become a violent criminal, wear saggy pants, steal shoes from other violent criminals and drive under the influence
>obtain dicky
they might kill you in prison though
dangerous game, to reproduce you need to moronmaxx but the most moronmaxxed individuals face the most threat of violence.
Indeed, but it is better to be the bigger moron than to be the smaller, and once he has had a taste of life as a big nig, a man will not want to go back to being small time
Embrace your ancestors path, no matter how white they were, they still had bro in them
nta, but just because you are strong doesnt meant you are going to kill someone on touch. Men and women that train usually have better control over their own strength, come on anon, that should be basics
Not gonna be protecting anyone while inside the clink.
I'm sure tyrone will be a fit replacement according to his own criterias.
>desperate women on dating apps are insane
holy shit my mind is blown
>desperate
Your reality check will not be pleasant.
you have never talked to a woman outside of the internet
I have already done both plenty of times.
you are a liar
your mind has been as twisted by Ganker as a trannies was by garden gnomes
It's not very complicated to talk to women in college or (mentally ill) girls on discord.
You have never really spoken to a college age lady have you? Never been friends with a "single" or "lonely" lady online for years at a time either I take it. You are in for a rude awaking and before things blow up in your face out of sheer ignorance, let me fill you in on a tiny secret:
"Modern Westernized Women" have lost their minds due to a lack of moral direction. 90% of them are damaged goods in more ways than one, but the primary culprit is "College" and social media. Keep that in mind before you manage to somehow interact with a "Woman" who isn't your sister or your mother.
nta, but do you honestly think that shit is going to get fixed by "teaching"? I personally dont, nor do I want to bother with that. Too many femcels and the femcel shit is going to blow up in a few years like never before, you already see them complaining about guys with cash going for younger girls in the bar, its almost a whole movement
>It's going to blow up in their face.
Yep and I'm going to enjoy the whole thing going up.
>Teaching doesn't work
The feminist propaganda worked wonders, removing it would do wonders for future generations. Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y and Gen Z are fucked and there's nothing we can do about it and that part is true, sure. However, there are some cases where a father or brother or boyfriend or husband can mitigate or prevent the damage and yes, it would be a pain in the ass, but it's worth it.
>a brother, or a father could
if only you were right, if only...
It can work with enough patience and dedication and probably near constant vigilance. Not saying that's easy in the slightest, but have a little faith in real families.
Nah, I dont wanna be a stay at home boomer dad, thats castration. In fact I'd say part of the modern issues is because men became like that, they better follow through the beauty of speed, fuckers better do that or I will find betters
>Abandon your family.
Yeah, that's certainly a solution if you're in it for yourself.
Castrated dads are the true source of issues, not the conservative version of evil
A father's purpose is to raise and guide their children and it's only natural for them to want to be concerned about their kids, even when they are well into adulthood.
Keep that in mind.
A castrated man abandons his own children as you're suggesting.
A castrated man becomes a passive boomer, thats why their daughters are all hoes, their overprotective education caused the contrary of what they aimed. Those values did not age well, time to embrace the nomad's values, not that romanticist cuckoldry
Oh and forgot to add, their sons become even worse, the biggest betas, not that different from single mother sons with mommy issues
Only ugly women are desperate. Women who are above a 3/10 have almost immediate access to dick.
"women" no its a subset of retards. Just like not everyone is a gacha moron. You looking at outliers by nature of prefiltering women with dating sites. The good ones you wanna fuck arent on those platforms.
>arent in those dating apps
thats right, they are all taken
Can't talk about anything with you casual gays turning the conversation to sex.
Fuck you.
Puberty was a mistake.
maybe yours, cope
The more of these that come out the more retarded he sounds.
I don't really get the appeal of playing with randoms in the internet but each for their own. I could be playing with bots for all I know, so I rather just play with bots
playing fighting games with friends sucks unless it's some unpopular game no one is good at and everyone is drunk. Otherwise there's always that one guy who rapes everyone and no one is having fun.
skills translate. If you played any fighter you will destroy noobs who only play gta or whatever.
We swapped to RNG games like mario party because of that. Stategy games also work since even if you rts god you cant win if you dont understand units.
Not really, maybe if you only bring it out once in a while but whenever my friend group hangs out irl we almost always play some MK or SF and while yes one of us is better than everyone else we all have played enough to atleast know how to do moves and hold our own.
Also with enough alcohol even the best SF player in the world is shit.
I love playing with my friends, playing against randoms is something I have no interest in, as I'm not particularly competitive, so it takes me a lot of time getting to know someone before I can enjoy trying to beat them. The simple fact that someone is willing to go on the internet and compete automatically proves they're not the sort of people I want to play against. There's nothing wrong with those people, I just play differently.
It's why online gaming is dead
>shit opinion
>"He's right you know"
why is Ganker so predictable
Simple. If you don't follow the rules you don't get replies.
So that person who might be a champion among their friends feels bad when playing with better players online because they lost. But how are the friends who are losing to the "champion among friends" feeling? Why is one bad but not the other? Are those friends not "losing confidence?"
The difference is friends are usually somewhat evenly matched so both sides have a chance to win. While online a few 1337 gamers will always dominate
I don't know about that, many times I see groups playing the game, there's always that one guy who is way better and crushes every game.
This is true. But also, because you are among friends, the top guy will either put self handicaps to give their friends better chances to be defeated.
Nah what you get is people bitching about how it's unfair that you're winning.
Gamers are pathetic because they intentionally cry that they get the shit kicked out of them in games they intentionally play with the outcome of winning, if you don’t wanna lose git gud and if you think gitting gud is too hard (it’s really not you’re literally just tapping buttons bro) then maybe you should rethink how much of a bitch you are lawl
That's why I play games exclusively to make people's experience worse. Halo? Yeah im camping the sniper rifle spawn for my team and jumping off the map with it. Fighting games? I'm going to projectile spam as much as physically possible. Master Duel? I slow play anyone using a meta deck. (I wfh and am being paid to do this essentially) Forza? Yeah I bought a car with the highest acceleration Stat in the game and I will slam it into one specific person repeatedly instead of trying to win.
You sound pretty miserable yourself with a vendetta like that.
post the smash players edit
this vid came out today so if there's an edit already I haven't seen it
In yesterdays thread I remember some edits like
>I don't think Smash players are good fits for little girls
or something like that
UOOOOOOOOH LITTLE GIRLS SMASH PLAYING SOCKS RUBBING MY COCK

Found it.
Here you are, my friend.

No problem, it was pretty damn good. For future reference, I used saucenao. It couldn't find it at first but then I highlighted the girl to narrow down the results which led to the correct one.
I should try cropping more when searching for sauce, learned something new today

Playing harder games where you actually have to think and react quickly or playing challenges like "only use counterattacks" in easier games is a lot more fun than just plowing trough the game like a bulldozer.
True, so do political activists
>Instead of being sweaty tryhard on a global scale you are just a sweaty tryhard just to beat up your friends!
>Everyone should be ignorant and never try to be better at something
Wow, great advice Samurai
Nobody thinks that.
You must be new here.
little girl, you shouldnt be here
And /vpol/ wants me to believe it's all trannies from discord spamming pedo shit.
It's more fun for me, the only person that matters.
Most people are unforgivably dog shit at video games that its no wonder that so many people cried about multiplayer from 2005 to now.
I'm mediocre in almost every game I play and people are still crying and screaming "tryhard" at me.
Just admit that you're a spoiled brat and want people to just let you win.
>tries to make the game easier for casual players
>creates a game that is even more unbalanced and overcentralized than melee
Sakurai is a retard.
Yeah, even casually going to a friends house, if they knew what moves to spam it would be even more demoralizing than previous smash games.
imagine if you could do perfect multi-shines for free just by mashing a button. no timing or skill required. what the fuck was he thinking?
this is the same problem with almost everything
>pursue anything, get decent at it

If only online gaming was more conducive to letting players seek out and play with like minded players instead of just MATCHMAKING MATCHMAKING MATCHMAKING NO INTERACT ONLY MATCHMAKE
>If only online gaming was more conducive to letting players seek out and play with like minded players instead of just MATCHMAKING MATCHMAKING MATCHMAKING NO INTERACT ONLY MATCHMAKE
imagine playing modern online games
how the fuck is online the reason here? if you only casually play than the person that owns the game is gonna destroy everyone else
Like me with my friend group in smash or my friend that has played a lot more tekken than me destroying me most of the time
Because if you play like a giant tryhard gay, your friends won't play with you. There's no such limitation online.
"Competitive" vidya are only fun for manchildren. Kids and normal adults just want to jump in and play. Nintendo has zero incentive to pander to pedophiles who spend 12 hours grinding the same game every day (ie, the type of people to engage in online fighting game multiplayer). Especially since you can just look at the sad state of regular fighting games as a perfect example of what happens when you DO cater to people who think grinding an online fighting game is a good way to spend your limited time on earth.
>nooooooo you can't le heckin try to win!
>I am le heckin playing for fun!
If you're playing "for fun" why do you care if you win or lose?
I don't, I care about having a good time. Playing with real friends is more fun, and my real friends aren't neurodivergent enough to play fighting games so I go easy on them 100% of the time.
Do you have friends? It's hard to grasp if you don't.
>can only fall back to "I don't care"
If you didn't care you wouldn't be posting in the first place.
Reading comprehension
Where's your petty insults now?
I can call you a pedophile again, but it would be pretty redundant by now.
Let me reiterate: fighting games and their core fans deserve the sad state the genre is in.
>bro I just wanna have fun and don't care about winning
>immediately is desperate to win an internet argument
also fighting games are in a great place but you don't play them and just doom post like all Ganker shitters.
>but you don't play them
Of course I dont. Why would I waste 50 hours on playing a single character in a single game when I can play several characters in a plethora of games?
It's about values. Some people think nolifing wow, grinding fighting games, or speedrunning the same game over and over again is a good time.
The rest of us aren't insecure enough to care. Once your life is in a better place and you have concrete goals and skills to build irl you'll understand what I mean. I'll pray for you.
>cries about wasting time
>posts frogs on Ganker
have a nice day you sanctimonious gay holy shit kekekekek
> neurodivergent
Bullshit nu-speak tiktok lingo, post dismissed
Imagine playing party games alone just so you can be better at them than your friends and ruin everyone's fun.
bro just by the fact that you own the game youre gonna be the one that plays it the most, if you play with different friends and not the same group everytime
And never trying out the solo modes would be stupid
I never owned SSB64, only played at events and friends' houses, and I still consistently won. git gud.
Tryhard is such a funny term to me. Imagine seething at people who are superior to you.
What on earth did he mean by this? It sounds like he's saying the game isn't fun if you lose, and even if you're playing with friends people still lose.
I STILL btfo my little cousins and nephews at Smash.
It's only fair enough, I fucking suck at Fortnite, handicaps make it a little more interesting though.
Reject modernity, embrace e-bois.
Pedos not welcome.
Sir we're on a Smash thread.
Out of 10!
When the fuck did someone do this? How old is that Sakurai video on Brawl?
He's still a gay like you OP.
>online is le bad because I no longer win everytime
You were never a champion if you only ever beat your little siblings
Are you implying the little girl was winning before
What's the difference between this and being the king of the local arcade?
The only experience sucks because only for the game is just fucking terrible. It has nothing to do with try hards. If you want to play with friends, you basically need a separate device to communicate with them. Its such a shitty process.
>the creator of the game says he fully believes the party game he created is less fun when playing competitively online
>"UH NO SWEETY YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GET GOOD AT THE GAME AND COUNT FRAMES AND MINMAX EVERYTHING AND EXPLOIT GLITCHES AND PRETEND THEY'RE MECHANICS BECAUSE THIS GAME IS SERIOUS BUSINESS"
Lmao. Smashfags (especially meleefags) are delusional retards. You wasted countless hours "getting good" at a party game and ruined the fun for everyone else. LOL.
>ruined the fun for everyone else
Good. Cry about it.
>You wasted countless hours "getting good" >ruined the fun for everyone else.
doesn't sound like waste to me, more like job well done
>Job
you keep "playing" johnny
That's literally what every other fighting game does.
and thats why the genre is stale
>the same 2D grid autism 100+ hour labbing shit with an overpriced DLC pass full of characters cut from a previous installment
Sakurai Keep filtering gays who take videogames too seriously
Tryhards and speedtrannies deserve the rope for ruining the only hobby made just to relax the player
How did they ruin it?
Turning the hobby into a lifestyle for starters.
Best post in the whole thread. Everything worng with modern vidya in just a few words.
>they say as they're posting on a board strictly dedicated to videogame discussion
pot
I would like you to meet kettle
>i circle my personality around an extremely consumeristic hobby
First mistake.
Yeah
That's why you should leave Ganker to fix that mistake
>Not circling your personality around a hobby =/= not being able to Ganker
That's a very dumb assumption.
Brawl can be actually played online now without any lags and MKWii online was very functional all things considered.
>Brawl can be actually played online now without any lags
>ONLY 15 YEARS AFTER RELEASE
WEW
>and MKWii online was very functional all things considered.
????
I'm talking about MetaKnight.
And how completely broken (overpowered) he was
Not 15 years, just after the wi-fi conncetion got killed off officially. The Sakurai video said why Brawl's and MK's online worked differently hence why one was very well liked and the other was Brawl.
>I'm talking about MetaKnight. And how completely broken (overpowered) he was
My bad. He wasn't broken, he just had the melee treatment in a game designed as counter-melee.
>he thinks Brawl online sucked cuz of the Wi having a wifi
wifi isn't going to create the WAIT 20 mins for a match problem I stated
That's a network backend issue with nintendo game service servers back in 2008.
Didn't you read the part where I said we got the ethernet adapter???
Yes, anon; the video said why. That's what I said.
Or you could just accept that someones better than you and move on and find someone at an appropriate level for yourself. No matter how much you nerf a game, there will always be someone better than you. Smash ultimate is proof of this. Even if it comes down to 1 button automatically kills the other player on contact like divekick.
>divekick
I love that game
I just want to be 14 playing Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold for the ps1 on the sofa next to my old friends again bros.
He’s right. If a kid goes up against 20 year old trendies without connection of someone next to you and lose repeatedly they’ll lose interest

It's not inherently online competition, it's online matchmaking, which everyone hates.
>le match making bad because I have to play the game
Thats not the point.
The point is its easy to give up in matchmaking centric games because ultimately you are playing on your own against the world.
There is no social contract, effectively you are just playing against a bot that is better than you and often taunts you sometimes in offensive personal ways that wouldnt be allowed without some form of reprimand.
Matchmaking is a cold soulless experience.
Its no surprise that the generations raised on it dont even bother socializing in game.
the production values of his videos is so good. I wish he wouldn't waste his talent on youtube anymore and get back to making games
>anal
Ew gay, e-boi is for breeding only!
>prepubescent
>breeding
lol
>inb4 muh 8 year old pregancies that rarely happen
You just gotta keep trying, eventually it has to work at some point.
That is how aging works, yes.
well yeah, it works eventually because they get old enough to produce eggs, silly pedo.
Eggs are all produced in utero. That's why hags are so bad at breeding, all their eggs are as decrepit as they are.
>fertility gap getting lower and lower
>from 13 to 11 in less than 10 years
>expected to get worse
>all while women lose it at a younger age as well
dickychads, we gonna be eating good
What do pedos intend to do when their little girl gets too old?
if we follow the example of sneedville guy, marriage should last till death. If not, then its no different than your average fuckboy with their ugly hags they grow bored from every few months while scarring them long term, your choice I guess
I get it, but what about people who want to play competitively online? What are they supposed to do, fucking die? Not buy the game? Everyone should get a fair shake but it's not fair to tell one group to fuck off for wanting to have fun too.
Chances are someone who played since day one beat a make a wish kid before he got yeeted.
If you hate losing, why don't YOU try hard?
because that requires effort and I'm a victim andy gay who wants the world to understand how I feel and bend to MY needs! 🙁
I want to boink her knickers off and get covered in cat scratches.
Because it's a party game, and you shouldn't be expected to live it. As soon as the dude next to you starts wavedashing as fox, demanding "items off," you'd have a quicker road to a good time by kicking him out of your home and fighting the bots.
Because winning/lose do not have anything to do with having fun which is the purpose of a videogame. Circling around the fun of your game about winning or losing makes you an assgay.
The term tryhard is endlessly funny because anyone who uses it implicitly admits they would have to try really hard to match the level of their opponent who might just as well be holding back
They're literally saying they're shit and somehow they don't realize that
They're calling themselves shit while trying to insult someone else by calling them good. It's hilarious.
>Brawl
>online
That shit was a slideshow
It's true
>Tryhards make everything less fun.
You completely missed the point.
What makes multiplayer games less fun is playing with complete strangers who you will never meet again. When you're playing with friends and family, you're bonding. When you're playing with randoms, no one has any incentive to care about anyone else, and so no one does, creating an apathetic if not hostile atmosphere depending on the level of anonymity.
>Everything has to be flat, there can be no winners or losers. No fun, no being number one.
>Everything has to be flat
At age 12, I was almost always 1st place in every multiplayer match in Assassin's' Creed Brotherhood.
I am not a competitive fag, but playing against a kid and completely blowing him to pieces is no fun. Likewise having someone that completely drags you around like a rag is boring, best match in my life was with dudes that had around the same level of skills
Tryhards who tryhard in a childrens party game are a huge red flag. Most smash bros players are low key predators.

that guy's art is top tier
fps games solved this so long ago with custom servers and having groups who get together to play so you had a wide variety of player skills you will never get that with 1 on 1 fighting games and trying to force the two together will just end in frustrated noobs who drop the game after enough loses and especially so when the playerbase dwindles to the players who are just good at the game.
I fucking love little girls
But little girls love fucking you?
Wait a minute.
What if they do but anon isnt in the mood
That's ridiculous, anon is ALWAYS on.
Anon is such a whore tbh.
Why are e-bois like this?
what's about to happen to that slut?
Please give sauce, I beg you
random twitter post, the handle is in the filename
I have a friend who had strict parents, they had video games but it was a reward and they couldn't borrow games. His brother went to university, kid was exceptional intelligent and instead of video games the kid elected to get books because their reward-allowence system gave like 30 books for 1 video game. I remember all this because that brother went to university and for the first time got to play games, and his first game was smash bros.
Fast forward, this kid is like a community legend, but he never completed university, he lives on welfare and is a huge disappointment to the whole family, my friend included.
I dont judge people like that, they have many skills or talents but prefer a modest life, I can respect that I guess
You know that kid so well because he’s you, right?

>the problem with online gaming is you can lose confidence because you'll encounter people better than you
That's not the problem at all. The problem is everyone knows every game inside out now, and if you don't keep up on the meta you can't even stand a chance of winning. That's not the fault of online gaming, just the fault of the internet. Brood War was more fun when everyone wasn't following the same build guides, fighting games were more fun when everyone wasn't using the same 1-3 broken/OP characters, and FPS games were more fun when people used whatever weapon they liked best instead of the 1-3 weapons that were shown to be more DPS/lethal than the rest.
There was always that guy who would dominate, but there would still be a wide range of skill levels and different strategies and ideas at work. Now everyone just plays follow the leader, and trying to have fun with the game instead of just doing the same thing as everyone else is a good way to get kicked out of a game. Add in zoomers deciding to treat nearly every online game as an Among Us clone, and online gaming has become the least fun way to play any game.
What do you mean treating every game as an Among Us clone?
Competitive gaming is one of the worst things to happen to gaming, my friends forgot how to have fun, and they only play the most HARDCOREEE games out there, only talking about optimization and tier lists, games are shit now, thank god for Nintendo and Sakurai.
Amazing.

i love videogames
I'd sit next to her, gently put an arm around her, and whisper gently soothing words as she wraps her arms around me and sobs. I'd be there for her through all the hardship.
Because I'm a true gentleman, a caring soul who would be able to win her heart with PEGGLE! 2!
imagine the sex
fucking have a nice day

retarded argument
i played smash with my friends and they both got bored while i had a blast, so we switched to monopoly instead
how come v has better threads about little girls than the dedicated b thread
Are you legitimately asking that? b is garbage no matter the thread
He's right though
Online play is shitty for things like fighting games because being the best of everybody online isn't really an attainable goal compared to being the best person of your friendgroup, or best person at the local arcade.
Theres zero point to online gaming now. Its just dumb meta gayry and muh tier lists. Also when I get together with friends, no one wants to play vidya anyway. Usually it’s just Catan and Poker with alcohol. The only games I play are single player. Yeah multiplayer used to be cool when you could join a custom server and fuck around, but all of them got rid of that. Now its all about matchmaking because all these zoomie retards have aspirations to become an “E-Sports Athlete” instead of losing weight and going outside
Not sure that is true
the worst part about games with huge interesting rosters like that is how you always see the same 5 characters. whats the point of the other 40 characters if im the only one who plays them?
Comp fags ruin the fun.
it's not fun with friends either. nothing is less fun than watching other people play smash.
but go to any vaguely nerdy event, college club, etc, and some fucking imbecile will think it's a great idea to have smash set up so that the 2 people who're good at it can spend an eternity bouncing off one another while everyone else is knocked out immediately because it turns out most people who go to the anime club social spend their time watching anime, not playing smash!
this reads like i'm mad i suck at smash, but i'm so much more autistic than that: i'm mad because it's bad event planning. i can get better at smash easily, but nothing i do is going to stop people picking a bad game for the kind of people they're going to have at their events.
>it's not fun with friends either.
The fuck? The most fun I had with Smash was with friends. Granted that's probably because when you play with friends you're not fighting the meta, you're just fighting with your friends.
>meanwhile online goes throw f-tilt-up micro-dash combo 40% gg ez lmao
bad writing on my part. really i'm saying something more like "it's not a fun way to meet new people" or "it's not fun with casual acquaintances". i just wanted a quick opener for my event planning rant.
It is, though. Rounds don't last that long, so you can cycle in three of the waiters every 5-10 minutes and even while waiting you can make casual conversation with whoever is in this random group of losers or watch how the better people play if you're not that into them. The only way I can see it going poorly is if you get tourneyfags who try to disallow items and fun courses and who are too autistic to know to intentionally play in a silly way after a few victories to keep from hogging.
Nintendo is always such a positive and humanistic company. I liked how they had popups that told you to go outside on the wii.

honestly, I hate competitive games, not because I was always losing but because as a kid none of my friends wanted to play against me because I always would win to the point where it ruined friendships.
Like These days I suck ass at games since I stopped 'playing to win' like 13+ years ago but back in the day none of my friends would play shit like advance wars against me because 8 times out of 10 I was the one obviously winning through the whole match, in FPS games like the 1st halo I would win that often that I would be constantly be accused of 'screencheating' just because I had the better aim along with decent gun and map knowledge.
like I remember one time my friend let me try some tetris knockoff game he had for his DS and I accidentally blew the sky out of his highscore that he was proud of that hard that he banned me from trying the games other modes/highscores and was never able to beat the score I set
Just unironically downplay.
One thing I don't understand in the fgc is how people don't have the fucking ability to adjust their play to their opponent. If I fight against someone on my level sure it's frame trap optimization time, but whenever I fight against a casual I just go for simple punishes and beginner combos so he can catch on and get familiar with what he should do.
For some reason elitefags think """he will surely learn how to play if I don't let him play by doing tods everytime lmao"""
ye, these days I spend most my time in multiplayer games doing stupid or meme strategies and shit which isn't any good, but back when I was a kid I didn't know the concept of 'intentionally playing bad' because when playing by myself I would spend most my time messing around and figuring out all the ins and outs of the games I played
bros how the fuck do I beat Deko Phase 1 as Kachi?
I like Sakurai but his takes about competitive/casual dynamics are just plain incorrect. He's proven wrong by the simple fact that I and tons of other dumbass kids loved playing Melee without knowing a single thing about waveflipping or dashwobbling and what not. Taking a heavy handed approach to deliberately dumbing down mechanics in an attempt to make games accessible ironically has the opposite effect by only alienating the players who want to explore those deeper mechanics. Little Billy doesn't care if those mechanics are there or not, he just thinks "haha, funny kirby hit pikachu haha" Besides, even at the absolute scrubbiest level of like any game, the better player will win more often than not. While I really do have a lot of respect for Sakurai and believe he's done a lot of good, it makes me so mad how wrong he is about this one critical point.
Melee wasn't online. Brawl and onwards were. Within about a year of Brawl's release, the online play was exclusively Final Destination with only Meta Knight or Snake, and they would do nothing but camp either edge or sit awkwardly in the middle. Of course, Melee would have been even worse.
damn
>implying Brawl had online capability
>WAIT 20 mins for match
>lag out
>WAIT ANOTHER 20 mins for match
>same asshole and game lags out again
We spent a ton on the Wi including the usb-ethernet adapter, new gamecube controllers, the wokrs.
And Brawl turned out to be the biggest dude.
Do I even need to go into how broken MK is?
>Brawl was the first Smash to have playtesters
lol?
Seems like they did better without testers
Game designer here.
Failure actually makes the win taste even better.
Sakurai is a shit designer
why the fuck is he framing "casual play vs tryhard play" as an offline/online thing
you can play with friends online and fuck around
you can tryhard in person
