Pick one at random and then infodump about it? Share what makes it cool, what you like, what you hate, etc, and then invite him to do the same about a game he's playing

Are you a fricking teenager in high school? Who gives a shit what Sarah thinks?
Sarah is my boss and she fired me

Oh come now sirs and madame you believeth that you have pulled a fast one on me, but in fact captured you all in the act of making fun of me. We'll see what the lovely ladies in HR thinks about this!
>report them to HR for homophobia
Corporate Memphis style is the worst thing ever
stop being antisemitic
This is not the seventies anymore, gay. Normalgays play videogames.
I was going to tell you this is not high school anymore too, but then I remembered that kids used to play videogames back in the day, and I'm 30.
gay as an insult in 2024?
yikes.
using gay as an insult is cringe. "homosexual" has infinitely more power.
One of my 50 something bosses plays a game based on Solo Leveling
If something like that occured, it'd be the perfect oppurtunity to call a coworker a lying ass b***h who probably fricks dogs.
Sounds fun.
>gives a shit what some Sarah thinks
lmao, are you 15? Best thing being an adult is not giving a frick about shallow c**ts and owning your interests and hobbies. Besides, normies play the frick out of all sorts of games, old boss played Tera because he liked Elin butts and didn't give a frick, played in his office all the time lmao.
Also its a good b***h filter if a woman gets upset by some games or a "weird" hobby.
That's not how people interact with each other bro. When was the last time you went outside?
Its what I do
Is this how you live your life? In fear of Chad making fun of you?

Sarah probably likes MLP. You should talk to her bro.
>dated a girl brony (sisny?) for a month
i dont even like those moronic horses and got the names mixed all the time, but, man... she was a real catch, why did i let her go...
It's called pegasister, chud. Learn it
Haven't seen that word for legit almost a decade, I don't miss it one bit.
was she actually a brony or just one of those weird autistic girls who liked MLP growing up and suddenly got swamped by fat autistic men?
Is this what anxiety is like? Sounds like hell. You need to go outside, man. Nobody actually is like this.
This is how it used to be a decade or two ago, but now as
pointed out, if you don't talk about the latest popular multiplayer/competitive FOTM, all you'll get is some empty bovine stare as you talk about a game they never heard of.
Good luck trying to talk about Risk of Rain, Project Wingman Yakuza, or Voices of the Void to one of these without immediately losing their interest.
I don't want to talk about normalgay games anyway, so if that's all they bring to the table I don't mind scaring them off.
It's better than potentially missing out on meeting someone with taste.
But Yakuza is fairly popular
>infodump
How to look like an autist 101
I did this with a zoomer co-worker. Sperged to him about my EUIV playthrough. A few days later he's stuck with me on the late shift and starts spering back about his playthrough of the game kek. Really surprised me that he checked it out and got sucked into it as he seemed like a basic b***h sportball type.
My zoomer nephew has like 400 hours in Hoi4. The whole "zoomers only play fortnite" bit is bullshit.
Usually I answer with "random stuff" or "all sorts of games." Normalgays are looking for an answer of a game that you dump millions of hours into like Fortnite, Overwatch, Valorant, etc. Not worth explaining any further so I don't
If they got zero fricking clues about what you're talking, just say it's random unknown games on PC and that you also play CS:GO/Fortnite/League/whatever's currently popular as frick occasionally but not too much and leave it at that.
This, as well
That's how you end up with 0 friends and look like an absolute fricking weirdo nobody wants to talk to.
>CS:GO/Fortnite/League/whatever's currently popular
no you don't
that's when they ask for your steam username and you look like an ass for declining
you just say
>eehhh, I play dark souls and rdr 2 when I have time
Yeah, I made the mistake of telling a normie when he asked that I was going to play Unicorn Overlord over the weekend, which doesn't even sound cool. Being honest is always a mistake
To be honest "Unicorn Overlord" sounds extremely fricking gay compared to "Ogre Tactics 64", but oh well.
TEKKEN
No one doesn't know Tekken
I used to do this but noticed that it leads to no conversation and awkward silences after a little "come on anon share one or two" and I go "haha nah you wouldn't know it..." so it's better to answer with something, anything rather than being vague.
tekken is that one game everybody has heard about but nobody has actually played it or knows what is about. You are tginking in Mortal Kombat.
it depends on where you're from really, if you're EU or Asia then there is literally no way to not at least have seen Tekken. I imagine MK is super big in the US but virtually unknown here.
but that's the best part, if they're at least familiar with what it is about, then you get to talk about how it plays, what the story and characters are like, etc..
Im a european tekken god for years and i noticed tekken is generally accepted but highschool dropouts and morons are genuinely impressed. When i buy smokes as a german in polland the pollacks are always grumpy and act superior and smug and dont want to haggle but for whatever but when i told that moronic pollack im pretty fricking good in tekken he put in free candy, smiled, gave me 3€ discount and wished me a nice day.
I don't know about poland, but slavs do seem to like tekken, but everyone likes mortal kombat because it was on sega, and slavs are massive segays
this
i just say Dota or something and they go "oh yeah cool"
once in a while one of them might ask my MMR or if i want to party up but i just make some excuse like "oh i'm bad"
"don't worry man I'm bad too, what's your steam?"
see, morons, this is why you don't mention mulitiplayer shit
just say I play sekiro
I'm honest, I don't give a shit.
>Fortnite, Overwatch, Valorant
I used to answer "Overwatch" but since no one actually plays it anymore they'd just dissapointedly say "yeah, I used to play that" and be completely disinterested.
I just say Elden Ring, it's a good middle ground
either the know it, or they don't and I say "you know Game of Thrones (every normie knows it)? yeah the guy that made that wrote the story"
this is why youll die a lonely incel, but hey at least you owned those damn normalgays am i right?
>projecting
I've tried talking about "obscure" (not massively known normie-core) stuff with normies all the time. They ask me first in earnest but what I've learned is that normies hate anything that no one knows about. even nerdy shit like Warhammer is ok if people have heard of it but anything actually obscure is basically sacrilegious to the normies .I've had them straight up tell me to my face that they do not and will never care about anything that no one's ever heard of and they justify this by saying anything good would be well known, popularity and quality are directly correlated.
I always say
>I play games you've never heard of
And then they get all confident like they fricking know videogames and ask what the game is.
Then I tell them and they say they actually have never heard about the game.
houe we need to cure this patient

I love how this meme became popular enough to show up on youtube comments
>Oh I play a lot of singleplayer stuff. I play Fortnite sometimes.
Fortnite is the best normie game to say because if they actually start asking you about it you can just say you haven't played for a few seasons.
>Fortnite is the best normie game to say
imagine having somebody think you play fortnite. that's fricking embarrassing
>not much. you know, this and that. I tried [recent normalgay game] but I didn't like it much
then change the subject or listem to them yap for hours about themselves
maybe its lupus
YOU ARE A BLACK MAN
This vexes me.
Can one of you post it? I forget where it is.
Never mind I found it. Don't post it guys.
It's NEVER lupus.
It's never lupus
It's never lupus (except when it was that one time)
can't believe this homie has 17 straight winning seasons and has never had a losing season
why the frick do you care? just give him an answer. it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand you.
>There's a 99% chance he won't be familiar with these games, so how do you answer this question Ganker?
I say "I fricking hate video games"
So you say the truth.
>Fortnite but I didn't like the new season
And they usually change the topic
I answer honestly.
The bewildered stares of plebeians amuse me.
"I don't play games. The only game I play is maybe Tetris on my phone if I'm in a long line somewhere."
NEVER reveal your powel level in public.
>playing Tetris with touch controls
Fricking psychopath behavior.
Just say you're playing some giganormie shit like CoD, Fifa or Elden Ring.

Are normies increasing or decreasing in relative numbers?
It's 2024. Everyone knows what anime is. Stop being 13 year old you and be adult you.
"Not much recently, how about you?"
Pick one. He'll say oh never heard of it, any good? Then he'll pretend to be interested while you give him a SHORT answer, all the while awaiting for the coveted ''what about you?'' reply from you, which you will give in order to build some semblance of rapport, while maintaining eye contact but not too much.
Dealing with normies is a c**t but a necessary survival skill.
>Pick one. He'll say oh never heard of it, any good?

I like to do the sigma duckface and nod while listening to them for my own amusement, it doesn't matter if it's detrimental to my image of them, it's too kino to pass up
I live to make the sigma face once in a while, it nurtures and mends my soul
>how do you answer?
I go on a 3 hour rant about the intracacies of RapeLay
i just say “ah i haven’t played video games in years”
kind of not a lie since i haven’t touched mainstream slop for a lifetime now. what I play is ART
>Anons are this fricking insecure about one of the normiest of normalgay hobbies in 2024
Just say what you like. Be understanding if they don't same vidya. You can try and sell them the idea if you want, but people can easily detect insecurity.
>Anon looks bit different and he spends quite lot of time on phone/PC, maybe he plays lots of video games
>Hey Anon, what games do you play?
>"Uhh... Fortnite..."
>Oh, maybe he doesn't want to talk about video games with me
I learned that my somewhat normalgay coworker(well a good friend now) was into """boomer shooters"""(Or good FPS as we say) and older vidya ig after he once asked if I play video games. I could've said "Uhh fortnite" and that would've killed the convo instantly(he dislikes live service vidya and other coworkers only play said Fortnite-shit and EA sports games).
Now I play TF2 with him on his friend's server every weekend.
No one's insecure you dope. OP is just baiting with a thinly veiled lie to stimulate a House MD thread
what makes HOUSE MD a GOAT that never got a single good game
TF2 IS a service game
nah. There's people who play games, and people who obsess over them and regularly have 10+ hour sessions in their 30s. Totally different animal and if you out your lifestyle it is unironically over for your social life. Unless you're pretty.
>I play weeb shit
Done
Just pick one or two of these games and if he doesn't know them shortly explain to him what they're about
Holy frick you homies are autistic
I remember being pretty hyped about the witcher's 3 dlc
A co worker asked me what had i been doing the weekend and i actually told him i spent it playing this videogame and tried to expalin him some of the highlights of the story
He looked at me like i told him i just shat on his mother's chest.
Lesson learned tho, never show your powerlevel
There’s a difference between talking about videogames with someone that asked about them and sperging out about them to normies.
Just go like “haha I didn’t do much just cleaned the house and played some games”. 90% of incels don’t understand this and keep thinking that women hate them when in reality they are just irl spergs talking about sephirot or some shit. I’ve seen it happen in front of me.
I sperged about sengoku rance to my last boss
he just finished Rance 6 recently because of me
>coworker starts talking about Rance
pretty based
"I don't play video games. Rather dull hobby, wouldn't you agree?"
I read vn and Eroge and I look and sound exactly like this.
Near the end of Sona nyl
Gorgeous, darling, gorgeous! Never change, dear.
has anybody else noticed how bad normies are at videogames? or how much unsolicited advice they give while playing videogames or how excited they get at the most bullshit simple things?
i knew this for a long time but the point was made clear as day to me again while i was playing lego batman with a friend (which was already a super novel thing and the only thing i could show him from my PC besides pirated blackbox era NFS games) and he'd constantly go
>DUDE YOU GOTTA PLACE THE BOMBS HERE
>DUDE YOU GOTTA GLIDE TO THE OTHER SIDE
>DUDE YOU GOTTA BREAK THE GLASS HERE
>DUDE HOW DO I GET UP THERE? *while standing right on the grappling hook marker*
>DUDE WE HAVE TO GET THESE CARS UNDER THE HELICOPTER *as he drives in random directions fricking up the camera and randomly returning the game to singleplayer mode*
>*i miss a jump once* DUDE HOW COULD YOU MISS THAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO IT FOR YOU? *gestures to take his hand off his controller and take mine with an open palm raised upward*
>*he repeatedly messes up climbing a ladder* DUDE THIS SECTION IS BULLSHIT LET'S SWITCH CONTROLLERS AND YOU DO IT
>DUDE YOU GOTTA WALK ON THESE SHINY PLATFORMS
Kek literally my coworker, he's obsessed with ninjas so I told him to check out Ninja Gaiden. Dude couldn't beat the very first level, later I got him into Garo and he wanted a game like it, got him Nioh cuz 4 bux and he loved it up until the red ogre boss in the ship at the start.
God I wish I could still experience childlike joy like that.

isn't it more shocking that people NEVER got to experience it? that people never bothered to learn about pirating, install wizards, cracks, fixes and new games themselves? isn't it weird how the late 2000s-early 2010s era of mobile (predominantly for ios and nds) games was memoryholed?
#
yet you're the weirdo for not being perfectly in the know with the latest trends in mumble rap/techno music or mainstream cinema/crunchyroll anime. i don't get the term NPC, because some of these people do have some sort of personality and personal opinions, but they're all complete airheads. and if you go to any sort of higher education or god forbid fall off, you come to realize the world is populated by people who were either handed stellar grades with no idea how they got them or complete fricking parasites who live off of league of legends, videochat moderation and call center jobs

>yet you're the weird...mainstream cinema/crunchyroll anime
God I hate mainstream animetards so much. This weebette I work w is all like Apothecary Diaries this, Dungeon that. New to anime too, every week she's like:
>I found this really obscure anime called Free, it's so great
>I bet you haven't seen this anime called Haikyuu
>NuKenshin is the best thing in anime
Won't watch anything not on CR and Netflix either, but at least that works cuz I baited her into watching Disgaea kek.
Talk about one of them and explain what they're about, except Stellar Blade of course because there's no way you can not sound like a freak while describing a coomer shovelware
For the rest though normies are more open minded than what the internet wants you to believe, as long you don't talk about coomerbait shows or games
I talked about Stellar Blade with my coworkers, we are all getting it day 1. Sorry for you, bro.
Black person is Stellar Blade supposed to be the first fricking video game with a sexy girl and action combat? I guess DoA, Tomb Raider, and Bayonetta never existed.
It's not insecurity, 8/10 you can guess how a conversation about stuff like anime and video games go depending on what you mention, so if it's not popular people avoid taking about it so as not to have a awkward conversation or worse.
All of my coworkers know I will be buying a sexbot and marrying my computer day 1. They even refer to my current pc as my wife. One is a female coomer obsessed with ai chat bot roleplaying rape fantasies who shows me the conversations that take humorous turns. If there's one thing zoomers are it is accepting of degeneracy.
Bro…
Just say the genre you dickhead or just cod or something like that
>"What games do you play, Anon?"
>"All of them"
>"You play Fifa?"
>"haha"
You got me, you normie frick.
I don't need to lie because I play pretty normalgay shit anyway that won't raise eyebrows like Helldivers 2 (literally nobody IRL gives a shit about dumb media literacy twitter arguments) or Stardew Valley in addition to dumb shit like eroge or AA anime rpgs.
are you a woman?
Why are people here so insecure?
quentin
They ugly and poorly socialized all to shit yo
you dont post on Ganker without being othered at one point in life
There's far worse out there than Ganker the glowie cesspit
Just because Ganker isn't as bad as as some onion sites doesn't mean the people who post here are normal
Here are some normie friendly games I use:
>Sports (FIFA/NBA 2k according to your region)
>Witcher 3
>Cyberpunk 2077
>Sleeping Dogs (this one always works, like GTA but Hong Kong is an instant sell)
>The Last of Us
You can also adjust your answer according to who you're speaking to, for instance use Tomb Raider when talking to women and so on.
you say "a buncha JRPGs and a Diablo-like", leave out Stellar Blade, and if he asks you to name a JRPG or the Diablo-like you tell them about em. lol
what the frick do you care
TOMB RAIDER
hi tobe
Just pick the most popular one you're playing and start from there. If you can't connect on even the normiest shit then it's better to let the conversation die than force it.
>I don't actually play video games, I was just bullshitting you.
The face people make when you gaslight them is exquisite. Extra points if you make fun of them for playing games as an adult after the fact.
Good to see AI is learning the important lessons.
Mostly eroge VNs, like Wanko to Kurasou, Monobeno and Maitetsu. Also Monmusu Quest, Rance Quest, and a bit of Lost Life. Oh and uh Legend of Zelda
>Oh yeah cool, Zelda! I loved that game! [blah blah blah smash bros blah blah blah toon link)
Sweet, that's awesome dude. Anyway, back to work. Gotta teach those kids to swim.
>mostly eroge VNs
>proceeds to name the most entry level shit imaginable
you are not fooling anyone
Entry level is DDLC and typemoon/ KEY slop, captain Dumbass
>Rance quest
That one fricking owns, I started Evenicle two days ago. I which yaegashi 's artstyle didnt go to shit and they drew more porn
To be fair, Burke wasn't really fooling anyone else either.
what about Maggot Baits? is that entry level?
>Lost Life
>entry level
>Mostly eroge VNs, like Wanko to Kurasou, Monobeno and Maitetsu
>rance quest
>not superior 鬼畜王ランス
gay
But what happens if he tries looking any of those up later?
just talk about the cat /dog you don't really have
that's what I do
go with last epoch and say its like diablo but not by blizzard
>he won't be familiar with these games
just say you play anime style games
no reason to lie unless its degenerate shit. if you're talking to someone unfamiliar then just simplify your answer for the sake of conversation.
when my coworkers ask, i just say what i'm playing and give a little explanation.
it helps that one coworker exclusively plays fortnite, one went full autist and bought a flight sim controller and one doesn't play video games, but watches hella anime and jerks it hentai. we are 30
I am familiar with all of these games aside from Last Epoch and I would call you a homosexual and tell you never to ask me about video games ever again.
I just tell them I'm replaying Skyrim and it never fails. If someone asks how I'm still playing that then I mention a questline and add a different way to play through it.
Telling people about Enderal is really good too. People love that shit
Why not telling the truth? I mean, if they won't recognize these games it's not end of the world. He asked, he got answer. What will he do with said answer is his own bussines. Maybe he will start talking about what he plays instead, you would listen a bit, say something about game you play - the usual "small talk" normies loves so much.
Because sincerity scares people here.
You have to understand why it scares you or somebody else. That's the key to solving this problem. For example, when I was fixing most severe social interaction problems I had (pretty late, at age of 25), one of key moment was realising how I'm afraid of hurting or upsetting people with what I said and overanalyzing. But you can never be exactly sure what other person will do or how they would react, you can just predict a bit but in the end, it's their interpretation. And if you can't fully influence it, you cannot blame yourself. Say, you mention visiting Paris and that uncle start sperging out because 10 years ago he got assaulted by some idiot while visiting Paris. Are you to blame to mention it?
You are broadcasting message but they are the ones decoding it, not you.
Healthy policy.
This, i'm fricking tired of hiding my powerlevel. I'll only avoid mentioning my porn intrests, everything else is fair game.
>Be at work
>Talking about crane and operating it
>Someone asks what sort of console you do play
>I say Switch
>Hahah the frick is that? This new generation I swear
Didn't really make me mad but if that the amount of "discussion" for telling the truth Id rather not talk about it, there's no point. Oddly enough when I mentioned buying the Eureka Seven PS2 games to someone else they know about it from when it aired on AS.
I just say Tekken. Everyone who asks knows what Tekken is and it's enough information to infer what other kinds of games I play without being spergy
>work colleague knows I bought a shitstation 5 for 1 game
>he asks if he can borrow console and game to play it afterwards
>agree and he gives back shitstation when he beats game
>he knows my shitstation is collecting dust
>this week he wants to borrow the shitstation for "shadow of the colossus"
>sure thing bro
>enjoy "shadow of the colossus"
is the joke that the remake is worse than the original?
Nah I gestured with my hands of big ass and breasts when he said "shadow of the colossus". He's definitely playing that new game that came out this week, Stella Blade or whatever.
ohhhhh hehe what a gas
Just ask him directly how stellar blade was when he gives it back lol
>making small talk
>actually giving obscure detailed lists
He doesn't really want to know what you're playing, anon. He is trying to develop a conversation by giving you the chance to tell something about you in the process. What you are telling him with that answer, is that you don't understand common talking practices. He could name obscure games that he plays too, but he just chooses not to because people are not that interested in others' private hobbies that much.
Yeah man I been playing that Mind Goblin game.
>tfw your coworker asks about what video games you'd recommend him
>say half life
>notice how everybody get's intimidated
didn't knew normalgays had valve shit as the pinacle of gaming thought it was a meme.
I actually relish the opportunity to tell my coworkers about the games I play or am interested in, especially so if its an outlandish game that I know they have no point of reference for. for example I ask people if they play the touhou games, deus ex (people always think I say day of sex lol) , rimworld, etc. i also took a lot of pleasure in telling people that you can frick bears in bg3, got a lot of good reactions out of that.
everyone i ask always seems to humor me in some way whether it be amusement, genuine interest, or bewilderment. granted i work at a smoothie place in a college town and everyone is about my age. but still. generally speaking people like upbeat people and will read you being closed off about your interests as a signal to not push you out of your perceived comfort zone further.
Sane anon.
Same, feels good not being autistic. Imagine hiding your powerlevel when it comes to the most mainstream hobby in existence.
Taking conversations literally is the number 1 autistic trope
wtf I was just watching this
and we're watching you watching it
don't scare me, anon
my answer is "Japanese shit" and if they ask further I give them the names.
>It's a game called Persona 3 and it's about dating teenagers I've played all the other ones in the series huge fan.
i just give a somewhat honest answer then give a brief description. im playing heroes of might and magic 3. it's a fantasy game where you pick a group, explore, and do turn-based combat like chess.
im playing deep rock galactic. you play as dwarves that mine minerals on a hostile planet filled with bugs and robots.
im playing day of defeat: source. it's a ww2 multiplayer shooting game.
that easy. DONT tell them you play hentai games.
>so how do you answer this question Ganker?
Adults don't play video games anymore, bro.
I remember in grade school I accidentally said that I was playing Twilight Princess while waiting for the bus to arrive and I had this kid non stop talk to me about it for the next 2 years. Even long after I lost interest in talking about the game this homie would not shut up about it.
That was me
I feel totally disconnected from normies. The general public just seems so stupid. I'm not even trying to pretend I'm smart or inflating my ego, I know I'm no spring chicken. But when I talk to coworkers or customers at work, there is just a distinct lack of curiosity, empathy, and self-awareness seemingly at all times. There are a couple of lovely individuals that occasionally shine bright, but they are always rare exceptions embedded in a never-ending sieve of liquid shit running through a sewer pipe.
Maybe it's just the American south. At this point I don't even want to know people in my same interest sphere. I just want to talk to one random person who is in control of how they fricking perceive reality.
Yeah how dare they not know about the latest anime games. What plebs huh moron lmao
when i see a single mother with five kids, and all six of them take their own handicap cart from the front of the store, i feel a disgust that has no name
>"I don't really play games that much anymore"
if you're over 20, this is the only acceptable response.
Just be honest and stop clinging to Ganker shit like 'normies'. People appreciate honesty, even if they don't know shit about the games you're playing.
weirdo
>ever heard of unicorn overlord
>no
>ok so it's like fire emblem but the graphics are nicer and the story is better and you get to conquer the land instead of being some goody shoes that needs to defeat the baddies, it's out for switch
How autistic do you have to be to not be able to explain something like that?
How autistic do you have to be to not realize how someone would react to that spewing of weeb shit? I know you can't see someone's face contorting in real time as you spout this bullshit to them because you're clearly incapable of picking up on social cues
>inb4 I just don't care bro
>frogposter thinks real life is like high school dramas
exactly
I get OFF on people getting weirded out, social cues are meant to be shattered. Just like my e-girl wifes hymen
>I get OFF on people getting weirded out
This. It's especially fun to autistically get meta about it and bring up the awkwardness and play with it
>complaining about weeb shit in a weeb basketweaving board
It's time to touch grass moron. Most adults now are well aquianted to anime since over 10 years ago. It's not my problem that you have a distorted worldview since the only other person you're in contact with is your mother.
Anon, your high school bullies are probably watching KnY/MHY/etc with their kids now. You need to let go of the past, understand everyone has moved on and your teen suffering is no longer relevant to anyone.
>ok so it's like fire emblem
I'll play along. What's Fire Emblem, anon? We never had Nintendo, only a PS2 as a dvd player.
I'm sorry for whatever shithole country you grew up in. I live in sweden and here you were out if you didn't play diablo2 or counterstrike when in school. I have no coworkers who couldn't at least get a switch for their kids or own play.

Yes in this scenario I have no kids and we had PC/PS2 vidya, pretend I'm a Swede too. The way you converse already tells me you have next to no social skills tho, work on taming your inner sperg nobody talks like this unless they're moronic lmao.
Nice projection
ah, do you speak arabic then? if not i imagine you don't have much of these conversations coming up with anybody
>weeb shit
>weeb shit
>gooner weeb shit
>weeb shit
Tell them about stellar blade so they know you 100% have no taste
You just answer honestly with what you are playing and explain what kind of games they are if he asks about them, without letting the ego of believing yourself to be a superior Ganker gam3r cause imaginary problems in your head
>coworkers favorite game is Unteralterbach
>mfw
House, this whole thread is infected with tumor, we need to do surgery fast.
>Yeah I'm playing Unicorn Overlord. It's a tactical rpg where you try and retake the kingdom and also frick your cousin.
>Oh sounds cool anon, kind of like game of- wait what did you say?
>I meant what I said.
Seems like an easy conversation to me!
>binged 4 fricking season of House on Netflix for a month and a half
>opens Ganker after a month of hiatus
>suddenly a House thread
Are you all figments of my imagination
Im not, i dont watch that Normie shitslop, I couldnt even tell you the name of it to save my life until you came here. homosexual
>i dont watch that Normie shitslop
This shit wasn't even that bloated by normies back in the day
have a nice day
All tv dogshit is Normie shitslop
I haven't cared about TV shows in 20 years, its fricking gay as frick
Wait a minute, are you saying that anime is normie shitslop?
Kinda, i only read Eroge now
imagine being this proud of being a fricking zoomzoom
I did the same thing with sopranos
put off watching it for years, when I do a couple of years ago, suddenly I start seeing memes for it everywhere
I guess it's just the algorithm + confirmation bias at play, but still felt weird
Daniel?
>”Woah cool I play FIFA and Football Manager.”
The response I get when I have this conversation in my home land Portugal.
Why do they keep buying this shit? People here buy a PS5 to just play FIFA and occasionally warzone. Slop.
Same here in Bongland. People who like football usually don't like other videogames.
You say this but didnt buy Sona nyl. So you too love slop
Just say you play all the e-girlge like black souls, Lost life, rapelay, and whatever else. If he knows these games, you'll earn a true friend.
I have that discussion with my cousin, who got me into video games 20 years ago, everytime we meet. He is still playing a lot but only normal games like borderlands and call of duty. I dont even remember when i got into more obscure, pure videogames or how i made the jump. Do you still remember? I think it was when i finished mgs3 and understood the story and not just see it as a whacky cool game.
Me and my friends were really into anything from Japan so we got things like Ar Tonelico and stuff after seeing them in stores.
the worst is when normies start talking about shows because i literally don’t know what’s out so i can’t even fake it. i’ve been telling people i’ve been watching better call saul for the last 5 years and they still give me weird looks lmao
same. as a terminally online person i don't spend my time watching tv, i spend it on the internet, so i don't care at all about wasting money on streaming services.
it's scary how rare it is to actually find people like us
>eh, I don't really play games too much, don't have too much time, I guess sekiro
This makes sure he won't try to ask for my steam username to play moronic multiplayer shit with the people at work, and I don't come off as autistic
also, I don't go to work, I'll start a small gamedev studio, and I'd imagine I could actually tell people what I play and they'd get it and be able to have a conversation with me
you give them a subtle based check, if he passes, you sperg out
people are braindead and actually cannot process you playing shit like hollow knight or slay the spire
one of my friends calls them "pixel games" and he literally just plays RDR 2 all day like that guy's grandpa
that's more autistic than playing indie games
another friend just plays far cry
he just plays far cry games, which is fair, I played some, but that moron just 100%s every slop cry
it can actually make a moron irrationally angry when you mention something that's not call of duty or fortnite (nothing against fortnite, play it a lot)
this actually happened
Hollow knight is funko pop slop
Tevi owns that fricking gay shit and its not close
have a nice day moron, but yeah, that's the point
it's such a big and popular game and homosexuals will act like you said something autistic because it's not modern sloppa 3 or whatever console morons are playing right now
Ive played 50 metroidvanias, youve played 1 in Funko shart.
My opinion is 50 times better than yours, and IM declaring Tevi fricking destroys that Funko shart. You can agree with me or show me you have more experience, fricking gay as frick homosexual
jesus sperg calm down
what makes you think I only played hollow knight
I haven't counted, but I played a shitton of metroidvanias, basically every CV and metroid, and more obscure stuff like aquaria
>Mention Elden Ring
>Talk about it for the next 2 hours
>She kept coming to talk to me about shit from that point on
Felt nice, she changed jobs like 2 week later though.
If they're zoomers, you can always discuss anime and games openly
>tfw zoomer
>mainly play older games and tend to emulate alot
>zoomer coworker asks what games i play
>just mention something palatable by normalgays like ffxiv
>he mentions he plays destiny 2, rdr2, gta, etc
>always goes on and on about how amazing rdr2 is
thanks i hate it.
me too, man
I'm replaying Blood again, gorgeous
I showed Blood to my friend, he really didn't like it
absolute pleb got filtered by kino
but you're being a little "not like the other girls"
rdr 2 really is amazing, it's a milestone and a feat
of course, for me, it's dark souls, always
dark souls and elden ring, peak of vidya, actual art
i dont deny rdr is objectively good but its just not my type of game. im into nerdy fantasy shit and have never really cared for rockstar games
>Wait until they leave
>Talk to the cool co-worker about Crysis, SMT games, Devil May Cry & Bayonetta
Don't let people shit on you. You genuinely can experience frick-tons of great vidya through emulating and playing old stuff.
Also I'm gonna suggest you give Dark Messiah of Might and Magic a shot. There's mods that fix some of the jank, too.
So there's a chance? Excellent. If you're not putting your opinions and personality out there like it's the best one possible, you're failing and will never succeed.
I just tell them i mostly play single player games and give them a few examples. Weirdly i played fortnite for like 6 months in 2022 but i didn't talk about it with anyone other than my brother
>weirdly
Nah you’re just a homosexual. Seems on brand to me.
“I don’t play kideo games” is the only way to respond or suddenly the autistic 46 year old materializes to tell you about the awesome ubislop he’s inexplicably playing. I’ve been there bros, don’t do it.
I live in a country where talking about games is still a nerd taboo so I'd never get asked such a question nor would I answer anything other than "I don't play games".
Sorry to hear that, Hakmed.
I'm italian. Anyway, I'm glad games are still taboo here because I feel uncomfortable talking about them, as they are childish hobby best kept hidden.
Sorry to hear that, Hakmed.
I've seen other italian anons complaining about the same thing, didn't know it was that bad
how about anime? is that taboo as well?
Yes anime and animation in general is highly taboo. Me and my bros have to organize secret movie nights where we watch a bootleg VHS of Ranma 1/2 and try to jerk off very quickly before the police arrive.
No, anime is not taboo. Every italian since the 70s grew up watching anime because the TV channels bought and translated a lot of anime from Japan, way more than other countries.
A particularly popular aspect of anime are the opening songs in italian made by artists like Cristina d'Avena and Giorgio Vanni, who always fill up venues when they have concerts where they sing the anime openings. Funniest part is that the crowds are at least 60% made of 50 year olds fondly listening to Gundam openings from their childhood and such.
Those games aren't as obscure as you think they are, specially Persona 3 R.
You were the normalgay all along.
Idk, maybe on the internet you could pass as a normalgay but your average coworker isn't going to be playing p3 reload. Sportslop, call of duty, CS, mobileshit and mayyyybe a sony exclusive or a generic ubislop game for singleplayer
I guess it depends of your workplace, I translate ero games, a lot of my coworkers play e-girl doujin games.
Everyone has played Black Souls and it's referenced frequently.
>I translate ero games
Well homie of course, yours isn't the average workplace, it would be weird if those people DIDN'T play more obscure shit.
Before this I used to work as a carpenter, the atmosphere was just as pervy (we talked about real women instead of 2d stuff, but still)
It probably has to do with if there's women or not in the workplace, guys try to be as normalgay as possible to impress them. I'm glad I never had to work with women.
man, toph looks so good in fortnite, easily the best anime skin, very cute
not 20 fricking dollars cute, though, jesus christ
epic are such greedy fricking israelites
20 fricking bucks? are you fricking insane, b***h?
it'd probably be worth it for a full set, glider, emote, pickaxe, backbling, all that shit
not that I would pay or buy that
I'd get her for 1500, yeah, and even that's a little steep
but 2000? are you fricking insane, b***h?
especially contrasted with the avatar pass available right now that has 2 (re)skins, backblings, pickaxes, emotes and shit?
nah man, you're tripping
fricking insane israelite shit
wish she was in the pass
also hate how for anime passes these homosexuals literally just separate styles on a single character and call it two skins
absolute israelitery
come to think of it, star wars pass was also similar with troopers, but it did have darth maul
I don’t have colleagues anymore cause I’m retired, but in my office we’d chat about vidya a lot. Few of us had a steam group and would play FotM games sometimes, and one time I set up a goldeneye source server that was great fun. We had our turboweebs playing SMT and shit like that, the WoW people (mostly the girls in support, they even had an alliance flag in the window until they got a no fun allowed manager that had them take it down)… oh right and my old boss even brought in his modded Xbox with fricktons of games for the lunch room. Pretty good times, kinda miss them. That’s software companies in the 2010s for you I guess.
why is Ganker so jaded? most normie are not that shallow
Yes they are, go work a real job and you'll quickly see how true it is.
"I am currently playing HoneySelect2Libido DX and loving it"
Then I give them tive to google it. Serves them right for making dumb questions
I'm ashamed to say I only play Street Fighter 6, two hours a day every single day
I used to work on a suicide hotline and there was a guy there I would tell about honey select and other ridiculous perverse anime shit I saw here. Honey select became an inside joke between us at work.
>play FFVII
>have never met a soul that knows what that is
>they MAY have heard of final fantasy
video games are nothing
>Making small talk with coworker
>"Hey anon what games do you play?"
"I don't play video games, sorry." It's that easy.
"Oh I got a PS5, so sometimes I play games on that"
Basically try to switch gears from there.
I've been working at this job, everyone avoids the question when asked except for one guy(he says fighting games like tekken)
i just say 'first person shooters' and dont specify or say something like 'helldivers 2'
huh, maybe more people are like me and chop people up in kenshi or rimworld
>Oh, I've been playing persona 3 reloaded lately
>Never heard of that game what's it like
Easy as
I was 20 a few years ago when I went to University. Some guy in my class tries to have small chat with me and asks me what I play.
I just said Team Fortress 2 and Yakuza I think, to which he immediately just replies with:
>"I don't know any of those. Do you play CS:GO and Fortnite? I do. :)"
Frick off subhuman c**t. Never talked to him again after that.
i was sending back a 4070 TI super to amazon, so i brought it to work to take to the UPS store on my lunch break. i brought it in my office because obviously i wouldn't leave it in my car
my co worker saw it and started freaking out, i could already feel his intense jealousy and when i told him i was sending it back because i got a 4080 super from microcenter i could tell i mindbroke him
turns out the homosexual plays fortnite, rust, and day z. grim.
normalgays absolutely know what persona is
>am social sperg
>literally no friends, kissless virgin
>all conversations with colleagues have this weird sense of dread of not knowing how to end it
>everyone knows me but I don't know anyone
>know a guy who browses here (he doesn't know I do though), still the same deal as above even though in theory I should be more comfortable talking to him
>have the uncanny ability to make online text conversations awkward
I am beyond saving
>"What's that music you are always humming on?"
>"It's from a videogame"
>"Oh" Conversation dies.
>"What are you playing?"
>"It's called TWEWY(we are hispanics and I dont think he could understand if I said the game in english)"
>"Oh." Conversation dies.
>"What do you do in your spare time?"
>"I mostly play videogames"
>"Oh" Conversation dies.
Is there a guide to this, or are most people allergic to at least pretending to be interested in a subject, I thought vidya was popular now.
Jesus Christ man if you were interested in fricking anything but Chinese cartoons you could start a conversation somewhere but you go directly to your supersperg shit that .00003% of the population even knows about and act like a woman when people don’t respond.
nta but I thought chinese cartoons were popular now as well as videogames
They arent popular and never will be
People knowing One Piece and GTA doesn't mean that they also know whatever nerd shit you waste your time on
in general yes but that doesn't mean you should say "my favorite anime is gochiusa" when you should say "yeah I'm watching [whatever is on the Netflix top 10] right now, are you?"
yeah maybe, I don't know much anime to be honest, I just heard it was "widely accepted" now
it's the same thing with anything really. for vidya don't talk about Unicorn Overlord or Under Night In-Birth, talk about Content Warning or Fallout (based on the hit TV show streaming right now). if they're talking about movies and ask you "hey anon have you watched Dune?" don't say "THE SLEEPER HAS AWAKENED". context is important, what's going on right now, what the person you're talking to is like, etc. but at the end of the day both of you are trying to find a common topic to talk about.
Not really, if you want to talk to normalgays you’re probably just going to have to talk about something else. F they can be okay sometimes but none of them have played TWEWY. Hell I haven’t and I think it looks the kind of crap someone who hums video game soundtracks out loud at work would play.
you agoraphobic incel shut-in lmaoooo. "talk about something interesting, not anime!".
you haven't spoken to anyone outside your immediate family in years have you? it's so funny seeing these supposed social butterflies act like it's easy to have normal conversations with normies today when they've clearly never actually tried talking to them. Normies literally only care about discussing gossip millions of other people told them was important. if you're not talking about something millions of people said was a big deal then 90% of people will ignore you. Gossip about massive movies/games/music/memes is all normies talk about because they're obsessed with fitting in.
why do you people act like you're normal when you clearly don't have a single frickin clue what normal people actually talk about?
>Normies literally only care about discussing gossip millions of other people told them was important. if you're not talking about something millions of people said was a big deal then 90% of people will ignore you. Gossip about massive movies/games/music/memes is all normies talk about because they're obsessed with fitting in.
The fact you call them "normies" tells me you don't really talk to many people at all. In fact the mere concept of "normal people" is a sign you don't socialize with people ever. Nobody is that generic, ever. That stereotype you have in your head as to what a "normal person" is like is fake.
"nobody is that generic"
lmaooooooooo, you need to get out more dude. 90% of people are that generic. your nerdy ass friend group sounds comfy but it isn't even remotely normal.
>Get out more dude
I'm married with 2 children and can guarantee I'm more of a "normie" than you can even conceive. Nobody is "normal". The muslims aren't the same as the israelites, the poor are different from the rich, men from women etc. An introvert isn't an extrovert, the autistic is different from the schizophrenic.
"Normalcy" is a social game people play , it's not actually real. Even if you get caught up in the motions of modern life and tow the line of conformity it's all an illusion. A masquerade.
I've worked in retail/sales for 15+ years. I assure you that despite superficial differences in culture and community determining exactly what constitutes "normal/important topics" 90%+ people will literally only speak to you about what they deem normal and acceptable. the mask you wear IS most people's personality and the only thing beneath it is batshit insanity. the very fact you're posting on this website shows you're not like the average person.
again, the only way you can't have noticed that 90% of people all have the same opinions on seemingly random and unrelated topics, opinions that they will rabidly espouse and defend if pressured to, is if you haven't talked to enough of them for long enough.
there is a very blatant dividing line between soulless normies and actual people, and one slip up is all it takes to have the normies notice you're on the other side of it, not like them.
>. I assure you that despite superficial differences in culture and community
There are also non superficial differences in culture and community, even just coming down to language barriers. The white Mormon family made up of mom, dad and 7 kids isn't the same as Jamal's "family" of 5 bastards with 3 different baby mommas. There are very real differences in opinion and thought and ethnic background which do matter. Not everyone thinks alike, and while it's easy to cast aside the fakeness of people's social interactions as truth it's also pointless. Understanding those differences is so much more complex but useful. Extremely useful.
People being victims of propaganda is always a thing, and their programmed responses vary according that propaganda they've consumed. The world is a huge game of this
anyone who thinks "normies/NPCs" is an inaccurate term needs to get out more. It's kinda sad seeing these nerds defend normies like they're actually people and not glorified automatons just because they've never had the displeasure of having to be around them on a daily basis.
try working retail and then say this sentimental BS about the average person. it's so ironic that those who have to deal with the general public the most are called liars by those who see them the least.
Sounds similar to liberal white kids standing up for black rights despite never interacting with black people
fricking exactly. people attacking others for criticizing groups they know nothing about while those they criticize interact with them everyday is absolutely fricking rampant today. I constantly find myself asking "why do these people that openly segregate themselves from just about everyone else, call those who deal with "everyone else" wrong about "everyone else"?
reminds me of my liberal friends who openly admit they moved away from our suburban home town because they were afraid of violent crimes calling me racist for saying that black people are worried about a culture of violent crime in their neighborhoods.
all these normies act like this - straight up brainwashed into blatantly contradictory beliefs that they will call you crazy for simply pointing out the contradictions in.
>Seething basement narcissist is a midwit
What's hilarious is you talk exactly like a normal person does. Your tribalistic self identification is not abnormal
most people will never speak to you if you don't talk about stuff that is deemed normal, I know this from decades of working in public facing positions
I've spent more than half my life working 8 hours a day talking to average people constantly. You clearly haven't spent much time talking to regular people, which is fine. but why act like you know better than someone who is literally paid and has an entire career built around talking to the public? I'm a banker right now I'd love to be wrong and get to talk about unique topics with interested people but that's not how reality works.
People present themselves selectively for different tasks. The way you interact with someone in retail is different from the way you interact with them at a bar or on social media or a wedding. Context matters, judging people based on one setting of interaction is extremely limiting.
How the frick do you not realize that being a retail worker makes your view of people infinitely more skewed? Do you think you act as anything but "normie" when interacting with other retail workers while not on the job? It's no different from judging a person entirely from a single take they make on social media. News Flash: 280 characters in a throwaway tweet does not constitute a detailed psychological profile or nuanced and well-argued opinion.
People only talk about primarily "normie" shit because it's the safe thing to bring up when testing boundaries with people you do not know. It's them trying to extend an olive branch by testing if you have anything in common to progress past incidental acquaintanceship. Every person you ever meet likely has their own niche hobbies, guilty pleasures, weird opinions. It's just that they sure as frick ain't gonna discuss that with a retail worker they'll prob never see again and won't recognize out of business suit.
Your perspective is basic b***h middle-school egotistical bullshit kids tell themselves to feel special over failing to intergrade into the more common social cliques without realizing it's mostly because they perceive absence of *visible* effort AS absence of effort. Some people might be natural extroverts that gather groups of friends as easily as breathing, but the majority are putting conscious effort into socializing and forming social circles, even if they don't show it.
shut up b***h
not finna read any of that gay shit lmao
Why are you surprised? Imagine if you asked "What do you do in your spare time?" to a guy and he replied "I mostly scroll Tiktok" or "I mostly watch TV". Both on the same level as videogames. You would think he was quite pathetic.
you people are fricking delusional. most people WILL be interested if you tell them you watch Tik Tok videos all day, as long as you phrase it right. there is virtually nothing normies will talk about other than massively popular media - sports games, meme shows/movies/games. that's literally it. I'm actually into a ton of exciting hobbies like action sports, hiking/camping, and tons of other seemingly interesting hobbies, the kind of stuff normies love watching videos about
IRL none of these people give a single frick. The ONLY thing people are willing to talk about are societal memes, if it's not hyper popular content they don't want to discuss.
the fact you people are trying to act differently and saying shit like "if you talked about anything besides anime or Vidya you'd be able to hold a conversation" just shows how much of an agoraphobic shut-ins you people are. If you don't know that normies only talk about massive gossip tier events/media then you must not talk to anyone.
so why are you acting like some social butterfly why you clearly haven't spoken to anyone normal in years?
fricking LOLOL. why are you people acting like you know shit, this is insane to read. if you tell the average person anything other than "I watch TV and play video games" as a hobby you will be ostracized immediately. normies don't want to hear about random interesting hobbies, they want affirmation that their life style of watching the "next big thing" every week and nothing more is acceptable. if you answer "what do you do in your spare time?" with anything other than the most mundane boring shit you will be treated like an outcast.
it's actually sad how many slightly social nerdy fricks on here act like normies actually give a single frick about anything outside of the mainstream consciousness just because they managed to talk to one or two other slightly social nerds. try telling a 'normal' woman these "interesting" things you do, see how that goes lmaooo. you guys clearly haven't tried talking to the average Joe before.
I don't play video games.
I have to report once a week to the project manager, I don't speak with my coworkers at all.
I had a coworker that was the normiest normalgay you can think of, but he fricking loves Planescape Torment. I got him to play Disco Elysium and we had a lot of fun talking about those games.
I tell him I play RTS or other strategy games like AoE.
The point is they don't know anything about the games, and you can usually get them to change the subject as they can't fully carry on the conversation.
small talk with coworker
You failed here.
>coping with self mythologization
hard pass
I have interest in sex but that doesn't mean I can get it
Or praises
Or happiness
It’s just some next level cope.
Looks like I'm an absolute schizoid.
i thought schizoids saw ghosts in the shadows and shit. i guess i’m just a severe schizoid.
you're thinking of schizophrenia.
still can't tell if anons mean that or schizoid when calling others schizo
More like fricking autistic nihilist goddamn
I'm introverted but some of these are straight-up psycho
>I'm in a nostalgic mood so I've been playing (not current gen game)
Boom, it's that easy.
I would bully the shit out of you if you answered with these games
Forgot my image
Was there any reason Cuddy was written out of the last season?
Budget was absolutely slashed in the final season, so they couldn't afford to have her back on. Its why the new doctors suck ass as well and all the cases are so boring.
>"You think you're talking about one thing, and either you are and its incredibly boring, or you're not because its subtext and you need a decoder ring"
House was right about small talk.
Say you play Dr. House for the nintendo DS. Now you have the freedom to steer the conversation towards the TV show if the topic of vidya gets too rough.
Looking at this thread, the only correct answer is to speak the bare minimum to everyone.
Then you get labeled as "anti social" and treated poorly.
Everyone has a different minimum level. The paranoid schizos who would burn people who don't suck up to them at the stake are naturally a bit higher.
The only correct answer is to say that you don't play games.
I have this conversation all the time and it's easy to just tell them the truth no matter how autistic it might be. What does it matter? If they don't get it they don't get, but if they do then it's a fun convo. At a party I got dragged along to i stepped outside to smoke and started chatting with a jock looking guy outside and he asked me if I played any games. I told him I was playing a modded version of Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead and convinced him to start playing after discussing what the game was like a bit. Turns out he was a grand strategy autist studying for something in IT which I wouldn't have guessed so he was pretty open to the idea.
Bumped into him again a few weeks later, told me he had a good run going before he got obliterated by a turret while raiding a lab kek. You never know a person just by looking at him so I don't spare anyone my vidya autism no matter who asks
>all these people openly revealing their powerlevel
Fricking shiggy diggy doo
>Yeah, I been playing katawa shoujo recently... It's about dating and fricking crippled girls.
I sperg to the MILF I work with, I get away with it because I think she wants to frick me. When you can sperg out about shit like Yakuza to a woman and she still leans her breasts on you and tells you about how much she fingers herself you're basically there.
>Friend from my schooldays who plays Dota 2, CS 1.6 and AC titles ask me what I am playing
>Tell him I am playing Genshin Impact and Fate/Grand Order
>"Never heard of em anon, anyway..."
That's literally how the conversation will go unless you go on an autistic rant about how Genshin is a superior Zelda or Fate is the Japanese MCU and you're missing out. Save that rant for other gacchaboos, like I did with my fujo friend who in turn tried to get me to play some of her gaccha and we called a ceasefire.
>fujo
>doesn't play genshit
that's not a fujo, that's a waste of oxygen
>have small talk with this nice lady at the post office from time to time while getting my shit from her to be polite
>third visit
>asks if I'm single
>say yes
>starts literally sperging out about marriage and how I should be marrying
>ok
>starts seething about "bimbos" and that 100 years ago no one wanted to marry women older than 30, but now 30 is considered young and tells me that I shouldn't marry cute girls or young girls, but the good ones and ones older than me and single mothers
>turns out she's a single mother
fricking hell b***h, I just came here to grab my shit
if you want to be a kuck, go marry some old b***h with a kid yourself and support her financially, jesus
oh, and the lady's a LADY, she's like 40-something or very bad late thirties
>he bought the persona 3 demake for $70 us dollarydoos
if he knew what it was he would laugh at you
tell him the truth with my head held high. who cares what a normie has to say and if they are actually familiar with all those games all the better
sometimes, the normalgays can surprise you with the most autistic shit
my friend is as "normal" as it gets, works two jobs to buy moronic shit like iphones with credits, plays far cry and assassin's creed and shit
gives me shit for playing retro and indie games
and then he comes home and plays the most fricking autistic, mind-numbingly boring strategy shit that I get filtered by SO HARD
I actually respect him because of that
like these WW2 strategy games, total war shit, europa universalis, all that fricking PURE AUTISM shit
>plays far cry and assassin's creed and shit
>also plays EU IV and total war
Let me guess. He's single? Also you do realize that means you're the normie now right?
right now probably, but he's always fricking some prostitutes from tinder and he had gangbangs and shit, he fricked this single mother girl with another guy while her kid was outside the room, he's fricking weird, like normies are, you know
I guess he only told me because I'm his friend, but that's just weird degen shit to me
he just broke up with his single mother gf (not his kid)
see, that's why he's based, he's a gigaautist but somehow very "normal" yet oddly degenerate, which is ALSO what normalgays are in my experience, you dig deeper and they do some weird fricking shit man
he's a man of both worlds, also a little bit moronic
he's probably an unrealized savant
also really likes WW2 history, tanks, planes, dates, he knows all this shit man
and he loves rome and greece
he roleplays as the great leaders, he roleplays as the sides in WW2, while playing the strategy games like total war and whatever the frick the WW2 games are
he's a based gigachad, he even uses the strategies from these wars, he watches documentaries
and yet he does absolutely moronic normalcattle shit, he's always in debt for stupid fricking shit
>me? the most recent game i've played is something called "saku saku when love blooms"
>you can frick your sister in that game

>coworker asks me that question
>tell him the truth that I still have my SNES hooked up and I mainly play on that and PC
>he gets excited and asks if I have Killer Instinct and that we should play sometime
>There's a 99% chance he won't be familiar with these games, so how do you answer this question Ganker?

Coworker murder simulator with customized layouts and targets
I usually run different scenarios like meetings and random peer interactions
