yep, and there's better discussion, and less maintenance cause I don't have to feed you or point at the clock to indicate that you're supposed to go home
I do podcasts with some similar minded fellas. Possibly the best vidya podcast in our country just because everyone is a hardcore fanatic and know shit ton about vidya.
>play an amazing game >go talk about it to friends >remember that my friends don't play as much or play only casual games so can't talk about them or they'll just get weirded out
It's a special kind of hell.
I feel you >mention fighters
they don’t like competition
mention fps >they aren’t a fan >mention hacking stuff and free emulators
They don’t think they’re good enough for pirating
Just the other day I told my friend he can hack his switch and not even fricking need to buy their shitty emulator stuff and he just shrugged it off. Hell it annoys me because they all have beefy PCs and just play genshin all day lol
>anon depression is bad and they cant just cure it
Correct but i swear to god playing 10 years league of legends probably fried their brains ages ago
>just repeat the same game they've been playing the last 10 years
this pisses me off too
how the frick can someone play 1 game for 5 years, I keep bombarding them with trailers to other games so they try something new, and they still wont
>all my friends just play GTA, CoD or competitive trash like cs and valorant >finish 9/10 amazing singleplayer games every now and then and can never talk about them since no one gets them

I'm actually honestly considering putting in effort to get a games/animation/art community for adults set up in my local area.
I live in a college town, so I KNOW there's some homosexuals around into that shit since they have an active game/anime club at the university and those people have to graduate eventually and a lot don't leave town after.
Not sure what to call it though. Was trying to come up with something that's got a good ring and has a fun acronym.
But the only thing I've really come up with so far is something like "Games Art & Animation Group - G.A.A.G". Not sure if gagging is what I wanna invoke though.
Oh I know all about that kinda shit. When I went to college (a different one from my hometown), I was the video game head for that college's gaming club for like 4 years.
Ran an open gaming meetup literally every available Friday I could of just 12 hours straight in a conference room with a suitcase full of my game consoles inviting anyone to bring their own shit or find something there to play.
We got some REAL autists at times. Huge gay black dude that could barely talk to anyone, ugly ass asian kid that just sat on his laptop the whole time, guy that looked like a thumb and was turbo moronic, etc.
Still things were really fine and fun most of the time. The freaks were by far the minority and we got way more cool regulars that were reasonable.
yes, a physical wallet, a lot of people still use them, but this happened ~10 years ago
also despite being in a game design course, only 1 person there even knew what neogaf was
I ended up quitting cause I felt like I was in the wrong place

I can relate. Went to school for animation, but 99% of classmates just seem to be there because they have rich parents and want to do something "easy".

also the course was waaaay too easy and the teachers only knew how to make 2d shit and didn't know any useful tips for drawing

I feel you. I didn't join the course because I really cared for animation in particular, I just wanted to get good at drawing. Unfortunately, we spent very little time actually learning to draw. Luckily the school allowed me to take time off, so I left for a few years while I grinded out my drawing, then came back to finish up the course to get my toilet paper diploma.
It's incredibly demotivating though. The only times I'd ever seen anyone fail were turbo stoners that would constantly skip class and couldn't draw characters with their feet on the ground, otherwise it was basically just "show up to class and we'll give you a diploma by the end of it." It sucks feeling like there's no use putting in effort because any moron can make it through.

I've had plenty of friends recommend I read books, to which I say "Oh yeah, that looks cool, I'll check it out sometime." just to be polite, with no intention of ever actually reading it.

Damn now I really wanna know what game you talking about.
go on Ganker and seek Alice...
These games are never as good as you tards say they are you are just porn addicted and easily swayed when horny
Talking about it with strangers anonymously on the internet is more fun.
yep, and there's better discussion, and less maintenance cause I don't have to feed you or point at the clock to indicate that you're supposed to go home
WHAT GAME
Oh how many times has this happened to me
>MGQ
>Rance
>BS1+2
>SEQUEL
I could go on. Why do adult games have to be so good but so taboo?
look man i played those games
MGQ is good shit and holy frick Rance is nice
But if i ever hear someone talk about that shit in public the first thought is degenerate like myself
its just not meant to be anon
It's because you have self esteem issues. Try meditating
DONT POST THE WEBM
>watch great film
>read incredible book
>play fun game
>shoot huge load
>no one to share them with
pic related, its what i don't have
I feel you. I'm on the verge of making a medium account or some shit to start writing on whatever I liked. Don't care if anyone reads it.
give making video reviews a try
If it works out you might even make money out of it
I do podcasts with some similar minded fellas. Possibly the best vidya podcast in our country just because everyone is a hardcore fanatic and know shit ton about vidya.

I knew someone that LOVED timesplitters
and I'd tell him, you know there's 2 more games exactly like timesplitters on the N64 by the same people
but emulators are too hard for him to setup, some people are just moronic
that happened to me too
normalgay friends are the worst fricking thing, they don't play or watch anything that's not popular
>be that friend willing to try other games/books/shows
>never find anybody to do the same in return
Ganker are my friends
what game, fren?
>play an amazing game
>recommend it to friends
>they continue playing shit games
>they eventually try the amazing game but give up because they suck
I got so fed up with this, I ditched them
not wasting time on wishy washy loser friends with no taste
>tfw no friends to trade with so never had a gengar
I had a buddy trade his Kadabra to someone in 3rd grade. Kid then disconnected the cable and wouldn't trade it back
lol
>just repeat the same game they've been playing the last 10 years
this pisses me off too
how the frick can someone play 1 game for 5 years, I keep bombarding them with trailers to other games so they try something new, and they still wont
can't lead dead horses to water
whenever i link a trailer they instantly say yes that looks like a ''your name'' game
i link shit all over the game spectrum
holy frick no fun allowed

thats a cool idea
only thing is I'd be weirded out by the social misfits that show up irl, people with freckles freak me out as well
the best thing about Ganker is everyone here has good taste and can give/take bants, and I can't get disgusted by how you look
Oh I know all about that kinda shit. When I went to college (a different one from my hometown), I was the video game head for that college's gaming club for like 4 years.

needs to be a gaming group for antiwoke chads
I remember I made a joke in a game design course about women not being able to read maps, and some fat guy with glasses got offended
he also had a picture of his girlfriend in his wallet and she looked like a piglet
what, like a physical wallet? how fricking old are you?
yes, a physical wallet, a lot of people still use them, but this happened ~10 years ago
also despite being in a game design course, only 1 person there even knew what neogaf was

People don’t use wallets anymore? What the frick?
not unless you're like a drug dealer or something
People don’t carry their license or fricking cash on hand?
>friends thinks shit game is good
every coworker ever
>oh man you play ps4 too? dude did you play witcher 3? it's the best just like elder scrolls skyrim
lol my soul
i wish couch multiplayer didn't die in favor of online
>play games with friends
>they start talking about video games IN PUBLIC
>he doesn't hold conversations with himself as if he had friends
I thought I was the only who did this. I haven’t gone full sensui yet, but analyzing a series and it’s games is nice to talk about out loud…

I relate to this. My friends want to binge one game until like 3 in the morning on weekends and I get bored after like an hour or two.
this happened to me
I like smash bros 64, but not 8hrs of the goddam thing
Man's best friend.

Might be a similar scenario.
