this is outdated, you used to get friend requests etc but now the internet is dead with soulless zoomers who at most get groomed on discord by trannies, but they definitely dont interact with other people gaming who they dont know
theyre emboldened by the LGBT movement and absolutely enabled by platforms like discover + the current internet meta of anyone being right wing getting banned and anyone left leaning been given a pass has made them powerful,
I got groomed by a woman I met on Kongregate when I was 15 and she was 20. We'd just be hanging out in a Skype chatting and she'd just pull out a vibrator and go to town on herself. She'd even do it when I had friends over and couldn't reciprocate. When she and a stopped talking she turned one other online friend and one real life friend against me. Shit's hot but NOT worth the trouble.
I love how when I tell this to people they get incredibly mad, in fact you'll hate me too for saying this, especially if you are a e-christian zoomer or a failed normalgay millenial.
The female brain is hardwired into tricking the alpha to frick her and pushing the beta away thus increasing the chance of survival and the kid having the good, strong genes.
A lot of kids have sex around 13 or even younger. The reason why the alpha kids (aka the bully) are absolutely loved by female teachers is because abusing the beta actually arouses females. This is why the female teachers are always suspiciously interested in helping, and managing alphas, while the guy who even has good grades, but shy, quiet, antisocial is completely ignored at best or repulsed at worst.
literal brainrot, those kids are abused by them not having anyone to stop that rape, in general it doesn't make sense to survive like that thanks to our big group societies and our need of mutual child caring and more in nature, having a person which escapes the caring phase will only cause death, kids surviving rather than impregnations is the real qualifier of survivorship and sensitive men and women which care of their kids do that better, which is the reason both sexes have child caring instincts.
you are just a mentally ill monster justifying pederasts by being a fricking pedophile which should be tortured and killed, a thing which is socialized by modern awful society rather than being natural.
No boy who had sex with a good looking woman has ever regretted it unless they were a homosexual, in which case who cares? They need to man up and stop trooning out.
dude, most of them kill themselves or suffer that rape througth their lives, stop justifying rape monster, that's just a justification for abuse fricking monster

This was in the early 2000s mate, trannies weren't a popular thing back then. At most we had sanfran transvestites that'd get mocked on TV every once in a while. You're too young to understand

i got molested and raped when i was ages 5-9 and I'm mentally fricked for the rest of my life. i can't look other people in the face and can only jerk off to completion while facing the floor completely supine, sex and human companionship is impossible for me and makes me genuinely ill
Think you have it bad? I can only fap to fetish porn while having the same symptoms you have.
Wait, I think that's actually just the result of porn addiction
>you don't actually want this,
Anon, everyone's experience with "this" is different.
A good partner would have respected your boundaries and been honest with you, from start to finish.
t. was molested by my female cousin (20+) at 10 but didn't mind it beyond it being awkward years later
i had a big titty girl named "emery" from some vbulliten forum who tried /ss/ing me any chance she could get. didn't think of it much until recently. we even ran a little kingdom hearts forum (can't remember the website, think it was one of the free ones. invisionfree?) with around 2k registered users. she dropped me once i reached my early teens. i can say that she's definitely the reason i like older women.
Tip to beat this part for my NG bros struggling with this part: don't hesitate, jump to the other platform, killing the top bird while hitting the projectile from right platform guy at the same strike (or cancel your sword strike by pressing down and quickly slice the projectile if your timing is off), then attack again while landing. The bottom bird should despawn on the left, and the football guy should fall and despawn as well without being able to keep up.
Alternatively, despawn the projectile thrower first, then do exactly the same thing while only dealing with the top bird

Some moronic Russian tried adding me off a game the other day after flaming me in the game chat saying he was gonna find where I live IRL and come rape and then kill me. I just immediately blocked him and reported his ass to both Steam support and the game's support team and he got banned for like a week on the game at least for being "toxic". lmao get fricked

It's not being mean I'm trying to help him be better. Posting memes or generic reaction images is a sign that your words don't stand on your own.

Autistic 90IQ Schizoid with no interests here. How do I become more.. Human? I've not talked with anyone for about 4years now, 15years if not counting my parents. Alas I accidentally looked in my neighbors eyes a month ago, and the thought came to me.. Perhaps.. I'm missing something?
So, where do you start talking with other people, and ''how'' do you talk, Is there some typa pattern one should follow? Any rules?
you're already talking to us, moron
you're already comunicating
you got your point across perfectly
I swear people are like "bro I don't know how socializing works tee hee" and like they're already talking normally
>implying saying some stuff to a stranger with no link count
for all I know, you already left the thread, and it will be deleted in a few minutes most likely
No, this is writing and I am typing, but yes, it is a form of communication, which I'm not lacking I suppose(thanks for letting me know). I can type and write but not talk. They're very different, or should I pretend that they're writing to me? How that works, I dunno.. Alas the jumps from subject to subject in conversations has me lacking, it should make sense, right? or should one just say whatever is on your mind? shouldnt we decide what we wanna talk about before we talk about it, like we're deciding what movie we should watch. I mean, if he starts talking about something I don't have any information about, shouldn't I just say that I know nothing about that genre, yes? Let's say.. Pokemon, If he likes that and I don't know anything about it, should I try and memorize the pokemons?
you're over analyzing everything
just talk to people, don't focus on yourself and how embarassed you are, that's pointless. Focus on the conversation instead. Humans have built-in socialization systems, just like breathing or talking.

The point of cleaning your room is it's an easy start on the path to self discipline. When you have self discipline you can solve nearly every problem imaginable
Peterson is a neurotic mess who can barely keep himself together when lecturing and completely breaks down in an actual conversation. He's only notable because he happened to stay fairly coherent on camera while spazzing out over a stupid social snowflake issue. Nobody should defer to him for direction on getting their own life together.
>built-in socialization systems, just like breathing or talking
Im just your average sperg that lurks this indonesian basket weaving forum. Because of this little sentence I had a epiphany.
Its like you said : "Just be yourself, bro" but in a way that makes actual sense.
socialization is a skill like anything else and it's something that you'll routinely frick up at as you stumble towards some level of competency. you probably aren't "schizo," you're just so afraid of failure you don't even try. we've been conditioned to think like this
It's very easy, you will out communicate everyone. Just try to argue with gpt-4/Gemini or any other major corporate ai. It's limitless communication training at your fingertips.

>90IQ >still can't relate to people
You're fricked forever dude, at least I have the excuse of being 130 IQ and thus too smart to relate to normies and too moronic to relate to anyone intelligent, people in this slump with me are all fricking deadeyed losers whose only answer is suicide
You have to become more relatable to people. But the problem is, most people are dumb morons that only have interests in whatever is popular and/or shallow. So in order to better fit in, you have to become enmeshed in their world, but their world is shitty.
So either become a better normalgay or learn to endure being alone.
I'm aware that it is, but the dictionary definitions of it are all along the lines of "able to be related to", that is, communicating nothing more than "this is a word modified by a suffix". A meaningless nonword like that is a perfect slot for a buzzword.
It's literally a matter of practice like most things in life. Salespeople and taxi drivers are great conversationalists not by accident, but because they're conversing all the time and practicing being social and personable. It's like exercising a muscle, if you don't exercise it, it atrophies and becomes useless, but if you regularly exercise it, it flourishes. Basically, get talking to people, expect to have a lot of awkward conversations at first but you will improve. There is likely nothing fundamentally wrong with you, you're just way out of practice.
you're fricked but I wouldn't mind ripping on you while we play games
oh wait the thread's dead so you can't give me your discord or steam or anything HAHA TOO LATE homosexual
social media became a political indoctrination platform so people got burned out with online friends culture big time since you have to basically doublethink everything you say to not insult some person with 12 made up mental disorders they self diagnosed and suddenly be hated by an entire community of people who love dogpiling on those who they deem (insert insult for those who exhibit wrongthink)
nowadays people only interact with IRL friends through social media and generally stay the frick away from internet friends unless they have had these friends for many years

I hate playing games with an “online friend”. No, I don’t want to put a headset on my face. No, I don’t want to ask “permission” to go to the bathroom like I’m back in fricking grade school: I just wanna get up from the computer and go somewhere else without explaining it or feeling like someone is waiting for me. No, I don’t wanna be forced to play the game we happen to play together.
I just wanna log on the computer whenever I feel like it and log off whenever I feel like it. I have always had MUCH less fun when gaming with a “buddy” or “guild” or whatever. Video games are NOT a substitute for real life
I’m 30.
Video games are an escape from real life not a replacement. My friends exist in person. Video game time is for me and myself.
Go ahead, call me something else. Bet you have a lot of online friends. Lol
Man the frick up you antisocial trog: headsets aren't an issue, and just tell them you need to do something, or just frick off and find a more flexible group.

Yeah I agree, when I was a teenager or in my early twenties it was cool that you could go online and talk to people across the globe and find weird niche communities. But the novelty's worn off, most people you meet online are just some guy.

nice post you've just made on the videogames board of Ganker. better wrap it up or those kids of yours and your beautiful wife, all of whom exist, will be wondering where you are!
i am at work and have nothing to do at the moment. i am not hugely into games anymore as i do indeed have a wife and kid. i like and play quake live/quake champions with my buds and i also on occasion play a game called real pool 3d poolians on steam. why the frick do you people always think people lie about this shit? like, what the frick would i gain from lying on an anonymous imageboard? there is no cred nor nothing to gain. my point was just why someone would be remotely surprised at the fact that most people online playing games are zoomers, whom range all the way from teens to mid to late 20s now. most mentally stable people with not shitty and fricked lives dont often have time to play games or they grow out of them. stop pretending to be surprised by this.

Only time I ever enjoyed interacting with others online was when I was in a RP guild in Swtor. It was fun making up our own little missions and lore. Other than that I've only had annoying experiences with gamers online. I don't pretend not to be online though seems pointless.
>Play games with a group of friends >At some point see them all playing the same game without inviting me
I have 40 odd people added on Steam, a good chunk of them I know IRL and I don't think I've gotten a single message in over 5 years.
At some point I went into invisible mode because I kept booting up a game while troubleshooting mods to not be "that guy" and never turned it off.
As far as they all know, I'm dead and no one seems to care.
theres something called the filler friend, where you arent actually apart of their friend group and are more someone who gets called to do things when they need people for it.
I personally never message people while they're offline. If I see them on or playing a game then I'll try pinging them. You should try going online if you want people to get in touch
I used to have this guy as a friend I think I met him on steam forums
He used to bug me while I was playing another game and invited me to watch his session.
Eventually he wanted to play co op with me one time and asked me ''why are you playing x game you should be playing y come on dude what kind of friend are you'' >tell him hes a sperg >delete him and block him
just leave me alone
Interacting with people online was fun before it was all about politics, fetishes and memes. Back then people felt like actual individuals, these days there are like a dozen types of personalities who are all functionally the same.

Just pay attention homosexual, it's not my fault you missed 5 separate notifications on 5 different platforms.
Because if I wanted to socialise I would fricking go outside. On the rare occasion I do want to play an online game with non-randoms it'll be agreed in advance.
>social norms
How am I suppose to know what social norms they have? I mean sure.. There's SOME norms set in stone but I hightly doubt everyone have the same.. I've tried asking them what their rules are but they laugh like its some joke.
>friend constantly calls me out over random stuff he sees from me in the stream activity feed >gives me shit for certain games or achievements, etc. >his profile is completely private at all times
why are people like this? I get wanting to be offline and private but at the same time why are you then going out of your way to stalk others?
I have a friend like that. They're an autistic narcissist. Their profile and life isn't good enough or up to their standards so they're shy about it and hide it, they're nagging and prodding you because they want you to be more impressive or cool like how they want themselves to be. They are interested in you and do want to help but the autisms make it come out weird and assholish.
Think of it as a weird tsundere routine. >N-no you can't look at mine it's lame! >Y-you should do this instead it's cooler... b-baka!

so in a sense; I've just given up completely.
Not saying it was perfect before. But it was possible to have a reason to try.
Nothing happened. Powermod homosexuals have existed since the days of BBS and Usenet.
The 2000s were a fluke because so many new people got online at the same time it ovewhelmed any censorship for a while.
I remember being banned from a site for saying ATX power supplies exhausted air from your system. You kids don't know how bad things can really get.
This, younger zoomers really don't realize just how much more the internet has become a poorly moderated mess today with social media centralization compared to those good old days when you could be permanently banned from an entire site for tickling one of the mods ass hairs wrong.
>you kids
I got my first internet capable PC in 2001.
Yeah. There were always power-tripping mods. But it was never like this back then, where some of the most innocuous things today can get you booted by troony mods now.
>2001
Exactly. You were almost 10 years into normies flooding the internet en masse.
Back in the late 80s and early 90s the same power tripping moronation we have now existed. If anything it was worse back then because the entire fricking internet at the time was gatekept by a few power tripping c**ts.
The 2000s were a magical time that existed only because floodgates were opened to the masses. It is not something that can ever happen again on a large scale.
All you can do is make your own communities and keep the normies out. That's what you had to do back before the 2000s, that what you have to do now.
>>The 2000s were a fluke because so many new people got online at the same time >Everyone stayed in their little pockets in the early internet >The internet explodes and socialization becomes easier than ever, communities and friends popping up everywhere, anywhere you go you can find someone willing to talk and play video games with >The novelty wears off and every retreats to their own pockets again, back to being practically impenetrable without an in
What happened was centralization. You could avoid the terminally online morons, goons, homosexuals, trannies, and dicks by moving to another group. But now there's only 1 major chat program. 1 major social network. 1 major games platform.
Wrong. Centralization actually makes the problem a bit better because now with everyone being on a few big sites it's not usually feasible to have unpaid moderation. You don't have moderators who think you're a peasant below them and threaten you to act and think a certain way unless you want the ban hammer. Mods these days are paid cog in the machine.
Reddit and Discord mods are the exception these days, and unsurprisingly they're also two of the most hated groups of people online.
Like I said, you kids have no idea how bad things can get. What we have now is a lot better than getting banned because you misspelled a word and that sperged out one of the mods. Why do you think so many people left Something Awful?

The difference was in the 80s/90s and into the 2000s even a douchebag op or even sysop's power only went so far. Yes, in their channel or BBS their word was law, but you had tons of others completely independent - as was your identity. Nothing followed you and there wasn't a vast centralization of proprietary services the way there is with Discord or the like.
For usenet maybe, but stuff like IRC or web forums didn't have many options. If you weren't walking on egg shells around the mods you were banned.

Mods were the spergs, anon. They actively sought out anyone they disagreed with, made sure you knew they were a mod and could ban you, and then would get into arguments with you.
What we have now is a blessing compared to how things used to be, even with the discord trannies and reddit mods. You couldn't just host your own site back then, that required you to actually physically own a server on a good connection back then, and even if you did that it could still get DDoS'd into oblivion like nothing.
These days you can pay dollars a month to host something and you get cloudflare DDoS protection for free with a domain name.

You said centralization is the problem, it's not.
And even if it was, you have FAR more many options today despite everyone using the big normie sites.
The problem is people are moronic, and whenever you give a moron a little bit of power they turn into a fricking nazi who thinks they know better than you. A problem as old as time.

It is THE problem. It's THE problem because you cannot get rid of shitty behavior online because that's just human nature. But if you compared today vs back then, you would have less places to get banned/kicked from today for posting obvious erroneous information or sperging out on mods for correcting a minor typo in your post, you disingenuous old fart.

You have plenty of places to go today. You just don't know where to look, and good thing that you don't.
All your options today are moderated better, run on better software with faster servers and less normies. They also have more users with more activity compared to your options in the past.
Centrilization is already a solved issue, it's just a matter of time before congress reforms the internet in a way where corporate run social media sites can't function anymore. See: Section 230 reform. All the big sites aren't profitable anyway, so even if no laws change they will still lose investors.

What happened was centralization. You could avoid the terminally online morons, goons, homosexuals, trannies, and dicks by moving to another group. But now there's only 1 major chat program. 1 major social network. 1 major games platform.
The difference was in the 80s/90s and into the 2000s even a douchebag op or even sysop's power only went so far. Yes, in their channel or BBS their word was law, but you had tons of others completely independent - as was your identity. Nothing followed you and there wasn't a vast centralization of proprietary services the way there is with Discord or the like.
>>The 2000s were a fluke because so many new people got online at the same time >Everyone stayed in their little pockets in the early internet >The internet explodes and socialization becomes easier than ever, communities and friends popping up everywhere, anywhere you go you can find someone willing to talk and play video games with >The novelty wears off and every retreats to their own pockets again, back to being practically impenetrable without an in

That happens to me a lot. I've met some cool people that turned out to be ex-methheads, really fun when they have random breakdowns or in one case one of them had a full relapse - they disappear for a couple weeks, like we thought they died or something, then out of no where i get a call from them crying they were locked up in jail for a while because they relapsed and lit someone on fire and now they're on probation and their life is falling apart. And I'm like... wtf i've never even met this person before and just played vidya games with them and their friends a couple times.... Bruuuuuhhhh....
all the good groups are hidden and gatekeep like crazy so you're never getting into them, ever >>even if you did they just ban you at the drop of a hat because it's easier that way
This crap pisses me off, I am prone to shit talk since basically that was the norm for gaming but if you do it in a discord server they will take anything you say as treason and if you weren't actively sucking their dicks for the last 3 years they will just straight up kick you out of the server.
you shouldn't be on those servers in the first place. I can understand if you want a mod or something for a game, but then you just frick off and never talk to those freaks again
>filled with pedos >filled with underaged kids
yep, i used to be that underaged kid and now as a 27 year old boomer it feels weird as frick hanging out and talking to literal children. cant do it lol
it used to be us but now we're getting old and interacting with someone 5 years younger feels weird

everytime i start playing an MMO thats not runescape. went back to GW2 last year, and some dude tried to groom me into being a third in his gay threesome. he thought i was an underage girl, and tried to shower me with gold, and items so i would ERP with him.
i tried to tell him i was a guy, but he insisted that i type like a girl, and then never asked my age. i started doing art around that time too, and he mentioned that he was an artist. he then sent me drawings he traced of real children, alongside e-girlcon porn. i reported him to the FBI, but i doubt they're going to do anything about it. the one guild i was invited to through him, got trashed by grooming alligations though, so thats a plus.
gaming sucks, try other things and expand your skills while you wait for something worthwhile to release. that, or get into party games with friends, if you're looking for a social thing.
this post tells the truth. the quality of people online has decreased strepitously in the last 2 decades.
it's a side effect of a hobby becoming mainstream.

or maybe, just maybe, you got older while playing videogames and still, oh horror, a tiny bit smarter and less ignorant IRL? Clearly against your will. But, you can clearly see nao, that human beings have always being a bunch of moronic emotionally driven animals. And that you have no desire to talk to any of them. Esp not, if you're looking for some time alone and to relax with videogames.
I grew up during the big text role-playing days in the 90s, websites like AOL were filled with people who just wanted to have fun talking about nerdy shit and making up stories and characters. I played games with so many people, even met a few people from online.
I miss it so bad. I'm terrible at face to face communication and now people are just so terrible, they'll shit on you at the drop of a hat. No one wants to actually talk about anything. It's so bad that when I find a good discord with fun people I end up obsessing and overdoing it because I'm trying so hard to recapture it.
I miss the Yahoo custom chats too, some of the old forums and IRCs, I miss old internet culture.
My theory is that people used to be socialized offline before going online, now you're dealing people literally raised online...
>Oh boy, i cant wait to play my singleplayer game i bought 2 weeks ag- >HEY ANON PLAY WITH US AT MULTIPLAYER!!!
A few times i said no and they got mad like b***hes.
Just don't respond.
Any sort of text messaging system should be treated as a pager service.
Nothing said over text is an emergency.
It's not that hard.
Stop being gay.
I unironically never enjoyed talking to people and always viewed it as a chore. Even when I was a kid. People would friend me in WoW when I was 13 and try to talk to me when I logged on and I always found it stressful and annoying. I guess I'm some kind of sperg but it is what it is.
I just don't bother to log onto steam or whatever these days. Part of it being that I knew someone that got a little too clingy even after I told them off.
If I don't know you IRL, don't try to be my friend outside of games.
I'll play games with you until one of our interest fizzle out the never speak again though.
I'm a very outgoing homosexual erping all kinds of degenerate shit for my degenerate frens. Usually when I logo in it's one of them immediately soft sexing into a DM and I don't have the heart to tell them I don't wanna do stuff right now because it's more fun to role-play their favourite persona non-stop.
I do the same shit, but we had to move it to Discord because group sessions had that Steam bug where a group chat would go into ghost mode after a few hours and no one can see anyone elses posts
Don't let irl mental health attention gays into your erp group, they ruin everything

Couldn't be more true. I kneel before your wisdom, anon. That moment when they dump their lifestory and sob to you in dm because you coomed together once and now you have to explain to a grown man that this doesn't equal an emotional relationship.
>Ganker waxs nostalgically about voice chat
I don't get it anytime people use voice chat its either a literal and I don't mean this in an insulting way but a literal moron, a child or someone playing music.
Why would anyone be nostalgic for or want to deal with this?
I only ever played zombie escape servers and I have fond memories of beating mako reactor extreme 2 and everyone cheering at the end of it when we finally passed it.
I don't appear invisible (only do that when loading up Vam in VR), I just don't accept friend requests unless we communicated a bunch in game during a match.
All I get are scammers, Russians and South Americans (see first) trying to add me and spam me with scam websites due to my CS:Go inventory
>new contact during a period of little responsibility and a focus on socialization
vs >me trying to enjoy the couple of hours of free time I have the way I want between my job/house work/yard work
I still play with my bros regularly but sometimes you just want to enjoy your favorite singleplayer game without everyone pestering you to play the latest FOTM
has nothing to do with the christianity. was there way before christcucks even existed. Just like everything else, the tradition was stolen from a better, superior people, that came before the monoteistic religicucks.
I'm always visible and @ everyone when I come online. If I don't respond to someone then they need to work harder at keeping me interested and entertained by their conversation.
>find out co-worker is a nerd >we exchange info >hang out outside work >it doesn't take long for him to start crying about Trump and January 6th and how America NEEDS more immigrants >stop conversation cold and say I need to go shopping >never talk to him outside work again and only exchange the most basic greetings at work
>Anon you should be playing League of Legends or WoW with us instead of playing single player games >Anon why are you playing games when you have 40 episodes of (shitty anime I'm going to b***h at you untill you watch) left
When you have one of these friends in real life who is part of the friend group you start doing this. Of course it didn't matter because he'd look through my profile and achivements anyway.
>dude with anime profile adds me after a match >uh maybe it's just a weeb and not a clingy troony this time >accept >next day hes blogposting to me while I'm at work like we're a couple
every time
My sleep is fricked. sometimes I sleep 2hours, sometimes I cant sleep for 2-3days. sometimes I sleep 20 hours. I don't have the strength.. Some days I forget to eat, but atleast I'm keeping the house clean..
>asked friends if they're up for a quick co-op game on Steam >all of them said "nah at the moment, too busy, have to work, spend time with gf/family, etc" >saw their playtime hours go up the next day
They could've done those things, but had some time left at the end of the day, or they simply played in the night, sometimes you're just too tired to talk with other people, atleast when you have already done so for the day, but yes. enough strength to play your game that you're obsessed with.
Playing your favorite game and talking with someone while playing a multiplayer game is very different.
just like I had to stop checking my bumble matches distances to see if they were going back online or moving around even though they hadnt replied to me

You probably made gaming one of the kid's better experiences and was a place he could feel "normal" and not be "the cancer kid", so good on you anon. Its tough to know the amount of engagement with something like that is preferable (ie ranging from people who don't want anyone to know they were sick at all, to those who make their illness their only part of their personality), but it seems like if you went back to the usual and he didn't keep bringing it up, he just wanted to let you know but probably appreciated you just being there to game with him. Sad story though.
How long ago was this? It clearly wasn't ages, but it seemed like before things went to perma shit in the middle of the 2010s, you'd have more engagement like this. You'd meet people while gaming, know nothing about them and still game with them, and then maybe you'd end up sharing some bit of info or not, as opposed to everything being centralized social media identity bullshit and the expectation of it.
it was another time where people acted online sort of like they did irl, and thought of other users as people, but now its soulless zoomers who see you as bots
i used to accept any friend request without question but not anymore. the past three random invites were just low-effort scammers. i get friend requests very rarely and the little bell stays green if you don't do something about it. so i check their profile and if it's private, or if i literally can't find any indicator why this person would want to contact me like having a games or groups in common, then i ignore them.
there is also a trust-based fanmade anti-cheat going around for TF2 i think, and one of the merits of losing trust is being friends with cheaters, so even less incentive to accept friend invites from randos who've played TF2.
there's also a bit of inherent security with using invisible mode. your friends and people on this network can't use your online time to track what times you're typically active. saves you from a bit of e-stalking, but the reality is, yes, i am in invisible mode because i do not want you to talk to me.
>there is also a trust-based fanmade anti-cheat going around for TF2 i think
Jesus Christ that's the worst idea i've ever heard. I've been accused so many times of cheating in multiple different games and I'm not even that good. I'd be instantly banned off every server with this "anticheat".
Funnily enough it's usually Germans that do this. Idk why they're like this.
nah it's a fine idea if you learn all the grit. it's more meant to address the bot problem than regular cheaters. it's been a while since i watched the vid on it but there's a lot more protective logic in place than you think. it's a mod you install that auto-vote kicks if confirmed cheaters eg. bots join the game. by "untrustworthy" it kinda more means "not sure about this guy", you have to be an actual bot or a cheater scumbag to get a votekick automatically made against you and keep in mind it's literally only a fragment of the playerbase playing with the mod installed.
the "detect friends" feature is meant to uncover bot networks, since people are dumb enough to run bots that are all socially linked to one another.
No, lately I've been playing Day of Defeat: Sauce and I've been banned off multiple server for "cheating". With if those servers were running an "anticheat" like that I'd have to get a new account to play on all other servers running it.
All because admins are moronic.
like i said you'd have to be a literal confirmed cheater to be kicked by a mod like that and it's cast by players not admins. it's not targeting you for being sus, it's targeting you because your steam ID was literally recorded in a replay and confirmed by a human being that you were botting. the friend's of bots trust feature is only to detect possible bot networks.

>but I don't know female-minded.
simple, it's taking on the mental habits of a female without actually being one, always assuming things that aren't actually true and coming to conclusions that no male minded person would come to.
people who try to brute force ace attorney games typically have that mindset
I’m scared some of you might live close to me and then you’d ask me to hang out irl and it ends up awkward as frick because you’re secretly a piss drinker and I’m semi-normie.
as much as I would like to have my friends list increase in number, I feel like adding someone from this thread, let alone this board and website is not a good idea
In my case I’ve grown to resent my friends but don’t have the heart to tell them to leave me alone, so I just pretend I’m busy all the time until they stop hanging out with me. Then every once in a while I complain about being lonely.
Because you ain't a friend.
You are, at best, a bot with sentience.
If you died the next day I wouldn't even notice it.
Tired of big words being devalued through this corporate label homosexualry trying to create Overton Window shifts with dictionaries.
It’s simple morons. Appearing online means you are free, since you’re just playing games. So if your friend wants to play a game with them, your options are to ignore them to join them, but you can only ignore them so many times before they start to think you don’t want to ever play with them. So you set yourself to appear offline to get some peace a quiet, and then message them via some other social media platform if/when you do want to play with them.
>sending you fap material greentexts
Based. I may not respond immediately, since I'm busy playing vidya or whatever, but I will read and enjoy it later on
Only 1 of my friends still plays games. He sent me an invite once but it was for a game I didn’t own. Rest of my friends haven’t been online for like 1000 days. Being old sucks.
>2016 >lifelong libtard >politics find me >vidya communities i was part of remain chill, some pololtiks but people know to keep the tism contained >2020 >be racist now >since we never bothered to gatekeep, communities are now filled with leftard trannies and formerly right wing irony poisoned chapotards >leave due to overflow of cringe
if you are suffering of e-loneliness i recommend outdoors activities and making irl friends thru hobbies. the internet is done and is deliberately designed to damage your psyche the longer you use it
i feel like zoomies not talking online phenomena has a lot to do with knowing you are literally in a sea of billions. it's hard to explain.
overall instead of bringing people together, the internet is pulling people apart.
>it's hard to explain.
actually i can sum it up rather succinctly:
the internet has become the real life for most people when it was just a fun thing to do 2 decades ago
you MUST show your real identity
you MUST play nice or else
you MUST agree to an arbitrary, book's long list of rules, or else
Ganker is the last and probably only fun place left on the internet
It's fear of looking foolish
Everyone else is talking in discord, so if you talk in a pub people will know you're not in discord
And if you're not in discord that must mean you have no friends
Which can only mean you're a loser
Better to remain silent that to remove all doubt
>make a friend in 7th grade >he’s kinda annoying but I can tolerate him because we have a big friend group so it’s never us 1 on 1 most of the time >in the 11th grade he reveals to our friend group that he’s gay, which is a problem for me cause I’m a homophone + it suddenly made him extra annoying >after 12th grade everyone in my friend group goes to uni or joins the workforce, and overnight stop messaging me or hanging out, except for the gay friend >I now only have one friend, and it’s the annoying gay kid I’m slowly growing to resent >thankfully he decides to join the military, and is forced to move around the country every 2 to 3 years >now I only see him once every year when he returns home to visit his family >don’t have the heart to tell him I don’t really want to hang out anymore >so every year I spend a couple days catching up with a gay dude I don’t like, while seething internally, because I don’t want to upset him >to make it worse, my family also like him which makes it harder to cut him off >this has been going on for over 10 years
That's why you always cut off the leftover friends so they can't hold you down or drag you back, like your "friends" did to you
I'm sure you realize by now but your friend group considered you two equally annoying gay losers, that's why you were abandoned with him
>wanna talk about a game >go to twitch >find someone talking to himself with 5 silent viewers >start posting >the dude is fricking happy someone came around >you are fricking happy you get to talk about that game
it's this easy

Bro you are a millennial, millennials dated and still can by asking their friends if they have single friends
Zoomers date exclusively through apps, they're prison gay, it's just desperation that's why they all make bussy "jokes" >what if haha...unless?
sex addiction has a great deal to do with it. you couldn't openly browse porn and slowly get more addicted through exposure just sitting on the family pc when your family was home. you had to sneak your fap seshes. now you hide your browsing activity anytime by just using your phone.
social acceptance has a big effect on the transparency of it as well. it was not socially acceptable to be gay in the eyes of teenage males in the 90s and 00s. these days it's now trendy to be an alphabet character. so i don't fully believe the rates of homosexuality have changed, some are just more open now, the rest are simply confused morons who fell for grooming.
That's not true, I've met plenty of homophobic zoomers who hated gays like /misc/ hate the israelites, they're just careful where and who they say it too because of cancel culture.
They were brought up in this gay system so when they wake up, realizing they've been lied to their entire lives they swing hard to the right, I'd bet that each generation has successively less centrists or moderates, I've seen no recent studies that include zoomers and alpha but just think when was the last time you saw centrist zoomer? They've all picked a side.
Interesting times ahead as they say
There was one lesbian couple in my school (one turned turbo christian last I've checked) and a few other people came out a few months after graduation.
Because most randoms either barely talk to me afterwards, or they're cool until I get the typical 4am "I'M GOING TO COMMIT SUICIDE, PLEASE LISTEN TO MY TRAUMA DUMP OR ELSE!".
Yes it's happened multiple times over the deacade, and yes it sucks every single fricking time.
>play a certain game online that is notorious for groomer communities >rarely talk to anyone because of this >made one exception >talk to this one guy on and off over the years because he just liked talking about stupid shit and it was amusing >didn't mind until he tried to get me to join his discord >oh boy here it comes >tell him I prefer peace instead of discord >he fricks off and doesn't talk to me anymore
dodged a bullet
Because I have very social friends and sometimes I want to play single player games without having to shift-tab or alt-tab to deal with a constant barrage of messages, or sometimes I want to play games with a different group of friends. Some fricking e-girl decided I'm her emotional support square and insists on and you bet your ass she messages me 24/7 about the most pointless shit imaginable despite clearly being able to see I'm in the middle of a fricking game. If I'm actually free that's one thing, but if steam very clearly says "in a featured race" or "playing team fortress 2" take a fricking hint and let me focus on what I'm playing.
>make Ganker friend recently >cool dude >occasionally play fighting games together >talk about video games and weeb shit >no talk about politics or other controversial topics
I'd given up hope but some of you are alright
Honestly it feels like a massive amount of people online these days have egos the size of the fricking sun and a hair trigger temper. You can't joke around anymore and tell someone they are a homosexual and their mom is sucking off 500 dudes at once and get a laugh out of them, they all demand you worship the ground they walk on and legitimately HATE you if you say the "wrong" thing. I had a 47 year old dipshit actually try to track me down IRL because I made fun of an actual prostitute he donates $2k to a month.
>You can't joke around anymore and tell someone they are a homosexual and their mom is sucking off 500 dudes at once and get a laugh out of them, they all demand you worship the ground they walk on and legitimately HATE you if you say the "wrong" thing.
you can thank the mass migration of normalgays in 2007 for that
Every single fricking person lives entirely in their own little stream/discord/whatever bubble where they are God and you aren't allowed to interact with them unless you lick their butthole. Social media has made people into narcissistic sociopaths with god complexes.
I don't bother setting myself to offline because very few people message me. Most friends realized I'm actually really boring to talk to regularly, which is fine because it's true. I lecture them about wasting their lives playing vidya or fapping all day and constantly suggest shit like "why don't you learn a second language" or "learn a new skill".
When i was younger i used to have more friends online (and irl in general too i guess) i wouldn't mind people inviting me to play games, chatting, etc. as i got older i completely lost the will to find friendships online, not that i have ever cultivated them to begin with, the last time i had a semi-regular social clique was probably back in 2017 on a random discord server that i joined by chance, whenever i play multiplayer games as a 20+ year old man it's never a case of "let me add this cool dude" you'll have maybe one good interaction with another person in the span of years worth of playing, at the most you'll play a few games with them to inevitably say goodbye forever.
I feel like making online friendships is beneath me, im too autistic and apathetic to make them irl, making them online is just a hassle and most people already have pre-estabilished friendships, i'd say overall that having friends like that to play with, unless it's your 10+ year old circle that you kept playing with, is not something you make up when you're an adult.
>i've had the same 36 steam friends for like 8 years >met most of them at LAN parties >8 OG steam friends from school and cs 1.6 days >all of us always appear offline >our profiles keep updating with play hours

My colleague is in my steam friends because we played Total War Warhammer but I dont want him to see I'm afk deranking in DBD with ahk scripts every single night so I could bully baby killers instead of going against tourneygay blight mains all the time with solo queue team.
because they are selfish heartless bastards
if you dont want to be disturbed set do no disturb
ITS THAT EASY
invisible is just online without appearing as online
DND actually changes shit
everyone who sets invisible actually wants to be DND but is too moronic to pick DND
Because I have lots of priorities in life and when i want to game I don't want needy people takeing up my time knowing they get pissy if I just want to be alone.
If i didnt want to be alone I'd be visible.
Easy.
>then >games are fun games are played for fun >now >games are about making money. Play with me so I can stream this epic FOTM coop game
Go frick yourself.
People only spend time with each other because they have something to gain out of it. There's no self sacrifice, no relationship not maintained alive because of a prior idea of self interest that sparked the whole thing.
Sincerity doesn't exist in this society and your friends are as fragile as paper walls.
i know that a random person on a message board cannot sound sincere. I know not of who you are, but i respect you for different reasons. you are here today.
i do wish the best for you. not only for yourself as a person, but for the people who's love for you, has a deeper meaning than my own.

It actually was a pretty nice poem, I just had to point that out in a mean way because this thread reminded me I'm lonely and a loser.

no worries lol, i appreciate the comment. i should triple check that shit. im sorry to hear that you're alone this christmas anon. i hope things start going your way soon though.
and dont think of yourself as a loser. you'll find your niche soon enough. you just have to get out there are try stuff you know you might like. dont be afraid to fail either. a masterpiece always comes with flaws. wabi-sabi
I remember thinking like this then growing out of it. I just had a bonfire at my place just last night with some friends. I gained absolutely nothing, in fact I lost about $50 setting up the ice box and beer. Still had a blast.
>playing Borderlands TPS >At the end >Random guy joins my game >We beat the game together >Chat for a bit while playing >He introduces me to Warframe >add him in case he wants to play >never speak again
that motherfricker showed me one of the worst games for me to waste my life and some money on. Also, I set myself invis so I'm not bothered by people.
I can just tell people "I'm just doing ___ today" and usually not upset them. I get called like once a week, sometimes more, and I couldn't be happier for it. They're not even always 'hey wanna game', sometimes it's just simple chatting.
I stopped appearing online all the time when I was good at RDR2 PVP, you'd win a match or free roam event then get joined on by multiple posses worth of seething ESL morons with slippery bastard and explosive ammo.
>Depressed as frick >A lot of suicidal idealization. >Don't talk about it to anyone. >Nobody can help, and talking will just make things worse. >Everyone will think less of me. >Appear self-sufficient. >Everyone just leaves me alone and ignores me.
I do this and then my brother sends a text to me like 4-5 days after I do this asking who I am avoiding. Dude. I just want to be left alone and play some games. Plus when he finally does get online its like 11pm or midnight when I am getting ready to wrap things up and wants to game until like 4-5am.
I both want to be left alone and also don't want to be blamed for his 10+ year relationship failing 'because he was up all night gaming with me'. How can I explain to him that I want to play games from like 6-7pm to like 11pm to midnight without him getting pissed off saying I don't want to play with him anymore?
For me, two reasons: >Friends that think because they're going to bed, that everyone else has to too so they begin to act insufferable about it >Too stressed to listen to people wanting to cry about their problems for the 37th time today
This thread fricking sucks lol
You have a job, you have a wife. Cool, as long as you don't extend that responsibility on internet strangers.
You're a shut-in NEET. As long as you don't b***h and moan to others about your personal problems.
Fricking manchildren the lot of you.
Bro? This your first time? It might be overwhelming but it's not that deep. Only fricking women should be stressing this out because their imagination runs wild

i dont because i never get any friend requests
Give me your steam friend
this is outdated, you used to get friend requests etc but now the internet is dead with soulless zoomers who at most get groomed on discord by trannies, but they definitely dont interact with other people gaming who they dont know
Where the FRICK were all the predators when I was a child? No woman molested me and neither did any man. This isn't funny. Was I really that ugly?
theyre emboldened by the LGBT movement and absolutely enabled by platforms like discover + the current internet meta of anyone being right wing getting banned and anyone left leaning been given a pass has made them powerful,
I got groomed by a woman I met on Kongregate when I was 15 and she was 20. We'd just be hanging out in a Skype chatting and she'd just pull out a vibrator and go to town on herself. She'd even do it when I had friends over and couldn't reciprocate. When she and a stopped talking she turned one other online friend and one real life friend against me. Shit's hot but NOT worth the trouble.
>When she and a stopped talking she turned one other online friend and one real life friend against me
and that's how you know it was a real woman.
Yeah you were ugly, or you had a father to protect you from it
Yeah it's very sad, I even had tons of older women ogling me when I was a kid.
I love how when I tell this to people they get incredibly mad, in fact you'll hate me too for saying this, especially if you are a e-christian zoomer or a failed normalgay millenial.
The female brain is hardwired into tricking the alpha to frick her and pushing the beta away thus increasing the chance of survival and the kid having the good, strong genes.
A lot of kids have sex around 13 or even younger. The reason why the alpha kids (aka the bully) are absolutely loved by female teachers is because abusing the beta actually arouses females. This is why the female teachers are always suspiciously interested in helping, and managing alphas, while the guy who even has good grades, but shy, quiet, antisocial is completely ignored at best or repulsed at worst.
You were (are) just boring, and/or ugly.
brainrot
literal brainrot, those kids are abused by them not having anyone to stop that rape, in general it doesn't make sense to survive like that thanks to our big group societies and our need of mutual child caring and more in nature, having a person which escapes the caring phase will only cause death, kids surviving rather than impregnations is the real qualifier of survivorship and sensitive men and women which care of their kids do that better, which is the reason both sexes have child caring instincts.
you are just a mentally ill monster justifying pederasts by being a fricking pedophile which should be tortured and killed, a thing which is socialized by modern awful society rather than being natural.
im not going to read this because you are a samegay
No boy who had sex with a good looking woman has ever regretted it unless they were a homosexual, in which case who cares? They need to man up and stop trooning out.
dude, most of them kill themselves or suffer that rape througth their lives, stop justifying rape monster, that's just a justification for abuse fricking monster
see that the ip counter got up by that post and stop being moronic
It's more about the experience leaving you unable to form normal relationships with woman your own age range after the fact
Because you will be abandoned once you get too old for their tastes, no matter what they tell you
Unfortunately it wouldn't have been women who would molest you, it's just "women"
No, it was a woman. This was back in the 90s before trannies existed.
Anon... I...
They only molest young chads and even then, it's very rare.
I made friends with a 30yo married woman in Runescape when I was 14 and she gave me a rune skimmy. Does that count?
>woman
>she
he means me
This was in the early 2000s mate, trannies weren't a popular thing back then. At most we had sanfran transvestites that'd get mocked on TV every once in a while. You're too young to understand
I wish the gay event got trolled hard enough that they would shelve the idea like when they first tried to pull that shit years ago, but alas it's gained too much traction now
>he didn't have a secret long-distance 21 y/o MMORPG gf at 12 who loved him because of how mature he was for his age
ngmi. I got very distant a few days after she told me she was missing a hand from an accident and how insecure it made her. I thought it was gross.
That's fricking cold. You don't even see her in person how can it be grossing you out to the point of almost cutting bridges with an online relationship?
you don't actually want this, real life is not a hentai
i got molested and raped when i was ages 5-9 and I'm mentally fricked for the rest of my life. i can't look other people in the face and can only jerk off to completion while facing the floor completely supine, sex and human companionship is impossible for me and makes me genuinely ill
Think you have it bad? I can only fap to fetish porn while having the same symptoms you have.
Wait, I think that's actually just the result of porn addiction
>you don't actually want this,
Anon, everyone's experience with "this" is different.
A good partner would have respected your boundaries and been honest with you, from start to finish.
t. was molested by my female cousin (20+) at 10 but didn't mind it beyond it being awkward years later
i had a big titty girl named "emery" from some vbulliten forum who tried /ss/ing me any chance she could get. didn't think of it much until recently. we even ran a little kingdom hearts forum (can't remember the website, think it was one of the free ones. invisionfree?) with around 2k registered users. she dropped me once i reached my early teens. i can say that she's definitely the reason i like older women.
Tip to beat this part for my NG bros struggling with this part: don't hesitate, jump to the other platform, killing the top bird while hitting the projectile from right platform guy at the same strike (or cancel your sword strike by pressing down and quickly slice the projectile if your timing is off), then attack again while landing. The bottom bird should despawn on the left, and the football guy should fall and despawn as well without being able to keep up.
Alternatively, despawn the projectile thrower first, then do exactly the same thing while only dealing with the top bird
I do the despawning strat because I'm a little b***h
I had a 20 something pederast try to convince me to meet up with him so he could rape me on AIM back in the day.
>rape on AIM
how do you rape someone on an instant messenger?
instantly
The same way the current writer for insomniac was raped in gta online but with methodus toolz.

No. Frick off. Who do you think you are? I want to play video games and have a good time not to be harassed by some guy who wants to be "online friends".
Go talk to people irl if you want friends dipshit.
>irl
<Heavy's Voice> No!
thats exactly the point - everyone is isolated and incapable of communication now, social media made people even more isolated
Not a problem in EU servers.

Why wouldn't I?

I'm autistic moron. People are propably better off without my sperg-outs
Some moronic Russian tried adding me off a game the other day after flaming me in the game chat saying he was gonna find where I live IRL and come rape and then kill me. I just immediately blocked him and reported his ass to both Steam support and the game's support team and he got banned for like a week on the game at least for being "toxic". lmao get fricked
>dear diary...
you're a subhuman Black person
You should have raped him first then reported him.
and then the whole bus clapped
>OHH NOOO SOMEONE SAID BAD WORDS ON THE INTERNET
>REPORT BAN THEM BAN THEM NOOO I CANT HANDLE THEM EXISTING ON HERE NOOOOOOO

Yes, being a dick and throwing meaningless threats will never be an actual issue

hi dude 🙂
Thank you
Hello 🙂
Hey anon happy saturday 🙂
You're a disgusting frog poster
Nobody messages you because you're sub human and they sit it in your soulless eyes. You did this to yourself
>I NEED to be mean on the internet
Ah, a latent troony.
It's not being mean I'm trying to help him be better. Posting memes or generic reaction images is a sign that your words don't stand on your own. Either learn to speak, draw your own images or at the very least cultivate a collection of images from art you enjoy. Do ANYTHING to build SOME kind of personality beyond "vaguely depressed".
I don't use reaction images outside of Ganker and basically never talk about anything negative with the people I know
You're trying to psychologize using a stupid staring frog image on Ganker as being more than it actually is
>Get DMed on Steam
>Hey wanna join our clan, click this link 🙂
Take this (you) bro
Also please enjoy this picture of a funny cat
Never be afraid to take the first step. There might be people who would be happy to hear from you.
yeah i took "the first step" 3 times in a row and they never did it back. i assumed i was annoying them and never spoke to them again
Merry Christmas anon.
i know the feeling
i never get messaged first
i know you won't even respond to this

Autistic 90IQ Schizoid with no interests here. How do I become more.. Human? I've not talked with anyone for about 4years now, 15years if not counting my parents. Alas I accidentally looked in my neighbors eyes a month ago, and the thought came to me.. Perhaps.. I'm missing something?
So, where do you start talking with other people, and ''how'' do you talk, Is there some typa pattern one should follow? Any rules?
Watch a lot of TV shows and mimic how people talk in them
I don't have a TV. And no, I won't watch TV shows on my computer, TV shows is for the TV. but thank you for the suggestion.
you're already talking to us, moron
you're already comunicating
you got your point across perfectly
I swear people are like "bro I don't know how socializing works tee hee" and like they're already talking normally
>implying saying some stuff to a stranger with no link count
for all I know, you already left the thread, and it will be deleted in a few minutes most likely
No, this is writing and I am typing, but yes, it is a form of communication, which I'm not lacking I suppose(thanks for letting me know). I can type and write but not talk. They're very different, or should I pretend that they're writing to me? How that works, I dunno.. Alas the jumps from subject to subject in conversations has me lacking, it should make sense, right? or should one just say whatever is on your mind? shouldnt we decide what we wanna talk about before we talk about it, like we're deciding what movie we should watch. I mean, if he starts talking about something I don't have any information about, shouldn't I just say that I know nothing about that genre, yes? Let's say.. Pokemon, If he likes that and I don't know anything about it, should I try and memorize the pokemons?
you're over analyzing everything
just talk to people, don't focus on yourself and how embarassed you are, that's pointless. Focus on the conversation instead. Humans have built-in socialization systems, just like breathing or talking.
>unironically linking that hack
lol
bro if you clean your room your entire life will be fixed
just clean your room bro
The point of cleaning your room is it's an easy start on the path to self discipline. When you have self discipline you can solve nearly every problem imaginable
Peterson is a neurotic mess who can barely keep himself together when lecturing and completely breaks down in an actual conversation. He's only notable because he happened to stay fairly coherent on camera while spazzing out over a stupid social snowflake issue. Nobody should defer to him for direction on getting their own life together.
>built-in socialization systems, just like breathing or talking
Im just your average sperg that lurks this indonesian basket weaving forum. Because of this little sentence I had a epiphany.
Its like you said : "Just be yourself, bro" but in a way that makes actual sense.
socialization is a skill like anything else and it's something that you'll routinely frick up at as you stumble towards some level of competency. you probably aren't "schizo," you're just so afraid of failure you don't even try. we've been conditioned to think like this
It's very easy, you will out communicate everyone. Just try to argue with gpt-4/Gemini or any other major corporate ai. It's limitless communication training at your fingertips. It will teach you all the secrets to smooth talking morons, helpfully handed to you completely accidentally, by pearl clutching morons afraid of autistic spergs writing porn with their robot.
>90IQ
>still can't relate to people
You're fricked forever dude, at least I have the excuse of being 130 IQ and thus too smart to relate to normies and too moronic to relate to anyone intelligent, people in this slump with me are all fricking deadeyed losers whose only answer is suicide
You ever wonder if you're just unlikable
Oh I am, it's a feature of being in this IQ range, it's peak human failure
I was 138 in middle school and manage to have lifelong and new friends
You're just barely out of the slump into genius territory, you matter as a human being unlike me
Always an excuse with some people
What do you want from me? I already said you matter more than me
That's insulting
Stand up straight, be better
You have to become more relatable to people. But the problem is, most people are dumb morons that only have interests in whatever is popular and/or shallow. So in order to better fit in, you have to become enmeshed in their world, but their world is shitty.
So either become a better normalgay or learn to endure being alone.
NTA, but I thought "relatable" was just a marketing buzzword used to convince normalgays to attach themselves to characters.
It's an actual English word
I'm aware that it is, but the dictionary definitions of it are all along the lines of "able to be related to", that is, communicating nothing more than "this is a word modified by a suffix". A meaningless nonword like that is a perfect slot for a buzzword.
Pedantic.
Word makes perfect sense in context.
Give me context, then.
It's literally a matter of practice like most things in life. Salespeople and taxi drivers are great conversationalists not by accident, but because they're conversing all the time and practicing being social and personable. It's like exercising a muscle, if you don't exercise it, it atrophies and becomes useless, but if you regularly exercise it, it flourishes. Basically, get talking to people, expect to have a lot of awkward conversations at first but you will improve. There is likely nothing fundamentally wrong with you, you're just way out of practice.
You don't know shit, normie.
you're fricked but I wouldn't mind ripping on you while we play games
oh wait the thread's dead so you can't give me your discord or steam or anything HAHA TOO LATE homosexual
Because I abuse alt+f4 to restart without punishment, don't blame me, blame void for making the ai crap
social media became a political indoctrination platform so people got burned out with online friends culture big time since you have to basically doublethink everything you say to not insult some person with 12 made up mental disorders they self diagnosed and suddenly be hated by an entire community of people who love dogpiling on those who they deem (insert insult for those who exhibit wrongthink)
nowadays people only interact with IRL friends through social media and generally stay the frick away from internet friends unless they have had these friends for many years
>social media became a political indoctrination platform
I think you're right
I go on to X and only see MAGAtards and election truthers being promoted
muh blm struggle sessions ;-;
>stonetoss edit
In the original is he setting israelites to "Gas" or is he a troony grooming kids online?
>have friend of 20 years
>he does this shit on discord and steam to hide form our coworker and/or his ex wife
>he's too much of a pussy to just ignore them or say he's busy if they happen to invite him to a game
I call him a homosexual every time and then I start the game and say whoops I couldn't invite you cause you were appearing offline then I invite him 900 times, tk him and teabag him
you and people like you are why people set themselves to offline.
you have no boundaries and think it's any of your business what others are doing or that they owe you their time.
solipsistic manchild
This. Get a fricking job.
And if you're NEET you shouldn't be playing games all day like a loser. Don't NEETs have to spend time working out, getting pussy, managing the autism bux investment portfolio, etc
These kind of people drive me nuts.
It's always neets that act like this too, like I get it, you have nothing to do and get bored, but that is not my problem! And I don't need to be worrying about you having a chimpout or mental breakdown because I don't want to use all my freetime playing with you, so invisible/offline it is 24/7 365.
NEETs should be banned from the internet.
big talk from a vtuber tard. its nobody elses fault that your little chastity cage starts shaking when someone interacts with you and you're too much of a pussy to even remove them so you have to use le offline mode. lmao.
Lmao you're a Vtroony gay. Stopped listening
>I've found someone I can abuse with no consequence
have a nice day.
>malding pussies
Lmao whatcha gonna do about it, pretend you're offline?
You’re a c**t
>talking to friend online
>convo is done, say good night
>5 seconds later friend is now playing some game
He thought you were going to sleep?
Saying good night doesn't mean you are going to sleep.
saying good night doesnt necessarily mean youre going to sleep you fricking moronic autist. it just meant that you two were done speaking for the day after your conversation wrapped up
>chatting online with someone for an hour
>conversation comes to a natural end
>15 minutes later he messages me with some new topic
I just can't spend all day chatting with some dude on the internet. I have other shit to do, but if I don't respond I'm "ghosting"
>but it’s totally okay that im talking to strangers all day on Ganker!
I hate playing games with an “online friend”. No, I don’t want to put a headset on my face. No, I don’t want to ask “permission” to go to the bathroom like I’m back in fricking grade school: I just wanna get up from the computer and go somewhere else without explaining it or feeling like someone is waiting for me. No, I don’t wanna be forced to play the game we happen to play together.
I just wanna log on the computer whenever I feel like it and log off whenever I feel like it. I have always had MUCH less fun when gaming with a “buddy” or “guild” or whatever. Video games are NOT a substitute for real life
This is an actual zoomer and if you have any question of exactly how gay they are well, here you go. What a total homosexual btw
I’m 30.
Video games are an escape from real life not a replacement. My friends exist in person. Video game time is for me and myself.
Go ahead, call me something else. Bet you have a lot of online friends. Lol
>30
Zoomer homosexual
Millenals are 40+ now
>30's are zoomers
either you too old or too young to understand the passage of time. gtfo
Man the frick up you antisocial trog: headsets aren't an issue, and just tell them you need to do something, or just frick off and find a more flexible group.

What business is my online status of yours? Friendo?
every single friend request i get now is an ethot pfp Black person trying to steal my csgo guns
I only turn it offline when i have irl friends online or family and I told them Im doing something or its like christmas or my birthday and I shouldnt be sitting on a game
the era and novelty of the social internet is over; i just want to be left alone
>novelty of the social internet is over
Yeah I agree, when I was a teenager or in my early twenties it was cool that you could go online and talk to people across the globe and find weird niche communities. But the novelty's worn off, most people you meet online are just some guy.
>it's all soulless zoomers on their discords
Okay I will admit this is getting annoying. I guess I'm just old now, but everyone I seem to talk to online is somehow a teenager
>but everyone I seem to talk to online is somehow a teenager
becuase most people aren't mentally ill neets in their 30s playing games made for teens and are out and about working and starting families, like you should too.
nice post you've just made on the videogames board of Ganker. better wrap it up or those kids of yours and your beautiful wife, all of whom exist, will be wondering where you are!
i am at work and have nothing to do at the moment. i am not hugely into games anymore as i do indeed have a wife and kid. i like and play quake live/quake champions with my buds and i also on occasion play a game called real pool 3d poolians on steam. why the frick do you people always think people lie about this shit? like, what the frick would i gain from lying on an anonymous imageboard? there is no cred nor nothing to gain. my point was just why someone would be remotely surprised at the fact that most people online playing games are zoomers, whom range all the way from teens to mid to late 20s now. most mentally stable people with not shitty and fricked lives dont often have time to play games or they grow out of them. stop pretending to be surprised by this.
not reading all that bud, i have things to do. and not for my boss.
>normiehomosexual giving his worthless Black personbrain opinion about anything
*yawn*
just because i am not a NEET moron fapping to drawings of kids in his basement all day doesn't mean i am a normie. also quake live is probably the least normie game ever made as you homosexual zoomer and millennials cant handle it
Look the normiehomosexual is bragging about how he's normal and shit. Soon he'll tuck his kids in bed or go to work or something lmao loser.
Daddy daddy! I don't wanna be a wagie like you!
Because the only thing "Online Friends" do is tell me to come play the game I met them on.
because I only play single player games, so if I get a friend request it's a bot
Only time I ever enjoyed interacting with others online was when I was in a RP guild in Swtor. It was fun making up our own little missions and lore. Other than that I've only had annoying experiences with gamers online. I don't pretend not to be online though seems pointless.
>Play games with a group of friends
>At some point see them all playing the same game without inviting me
I have 40 odd people added on Steam, a good chunk of them I know IRL and I don't think I've gotten a single message in over 5 years.
At some point I went into invisible mode because I kept booting up a game while troubleshooting mods to not be "that guy" and never turned it off.
As far as they all know, I'm dead and no one seems to care.
theres something called the filler friend, where you arent actually apart of their friend group and are more someone who gets called to do things when they need people for it.
I personally never message people while they're offline. If I see them on or playing a game then I'll try pinging them. You should try going online if you want people to get in touch
I used to have this guy as a friend I think I met him on steam forums
He used to bug me while I was playing another game and invited me to watch his session.
Eventually he wanted to play co op with me one time and asked me ''why are you playing x game you should be playing y come on dude what kind of friend are you''
>tell him hes a sperg
>delete him and block him
just leave me alone
>that one friend who used to be online all the time, would bug you when you first got online
what was his name Ganker ?
Never had one
that means its you...
I never approach anyone I known online for anything because I don't want to be seen as annoying
haha same high five berh
i know him, it's me
all of them
been invisible for years and it's been great
social vampires unironically get upset by people setting themselves invisible, go to a walmart and make some friends there
I still stutter like a moron when I talk to people on voice chat. I hate it.
Interacting with people online was fun before it was all about politics, fetishes and memes. Back then people felt like actual individuals, these days there are like a dozen types of personalities who are all functionally the same.
i've had people get mad at me for calling them
I'm litterally the opposite
>need to interface with coworker

this is me irl but at work im a caller, little pussies I need answers from ignore emails, you call them and they cuck out and give you the answers
I prefer phonecalls. Probably my ADD. Also I like hearing their voice and their willingness or reluctance to help.

Just pay attention homosexual, it's not my fault you missed 5 separate notifications on 5 different platforms.
I'm the person calling you. No, I won't e-mail you. No, I won't text you. You will speak directly to me, and I will speak directly to you. Seethe.
Because if I wanted to socialise I would fricking go outside. On the rare occasion I do want to play an online game with non-randoms it'll be agreed in advance.
If we're on Ganker it's evidently because we have a problem with socializing and accepting social norms.
>social norms
How am I suppose to know what social norms they have? I mean sure.. There's SOME norms set in stone but I hightly doubt everyone have the same.. I've tried asking them what their rules are but they laugh like its some joke.
>friend constantly calls me out over random stuff he sees from me in the stream activity feed
>gives me shit for certain games or achievements, etc.
>his profile is completely private at all times
why are people like this? I get wanting to be offline and private but at the same time why are you then going out of your way to stalk others?
I have a friend like that. They're an autistic narcissist. Their profile and life isn't good enough or up to their standards so they're shy about it and hide it, they're nagging and prodding you because they want you to be more impressive or cool like how they want themselves to be. They are interested in you and do want to help but the autisms make it come out weird and assholish.
Think of it as a weird tsundere routine.
>N-no you can't look at mine it's lame!
>Y-you should do this instead it's cooler... b-baka!
I can't let anyone know I only play remakes and remasters.

>even if you did they just ban you at the drop of a hat because it's easier that way
so in a sense; I've just given up completely.
Not saying it was perfect before. But it was possible to have a reason to try.
Nothing happened. Powermod homosexuals have existed since the days of BBS and Usenet.
The 2000s were a fluke because so many new people got online at the same time it ovewhelmed any censorship for a while.
I remember being banned from a site for saying ATX power supplies exhausted air from your system. You kids don't know how bad things can really get.
This, younger zoomers really don't realize just how much more the internet has become a poorly moderated mess today with social media centralization compared to those good old days when you could be permanently banned from an entire site for tickling one of the mods ass hairs wrong.
>you kids
I got my first internet capable PC in 2001.
Yeah. There were always power-tripping mods. But it was never like this back then, where some of the most innocuous things today can get you booted by troony mods now.
>where some of the most innocuous things today can get you booted by troony mods now
May I see it?
I don't have any examples on hand, so go ahead and cue your "WELL THEN I GUESS IT NEVER HAPPENED :^)" response.
>anon asks nicely for examples
>throws a shit fit
nice larp
>2001
Exactly. You were almost 10 years into normies flooding the internet en masse.
Back in the late 80s and early 90s the same power tripping moronation we have now existed. If anything it was worse back then because the entire fricking internet at the time was gatekept by a few power tripping c**ts.
The 2000s were a magical time that existed only because floodgates were opened to the masses. It is not something that can ever happen again on a large scale.
All you can do is make your own communities and keep the normies out. That's what you had to do back before the 2000s, that what you have to do now.
What happened was centralization. You could avoid the terminally online morons, goons, homosexuals, trannies, and dicks by moving to another group. But now there's only 1 major chat program. 1 major social network. 1 major games platform.
Wrong. Centralization actually makes the problem a bit better because now with everyone being on a few big sites it's not usually feasible to have unpaid moderation. You don't have moderators who think you're a peasant below them and threaten you to act and think a certain way unless you want the ban hammer. Mods these days are paid cog in the machine.
Reddit and Discord mods are the exception these days, and unsurprisingly they're also two of the most hated groups of people online.
Like I said, you kids have no idea how bad things can get. What we have now is a lot better than getting banned because you misspelled a word and that sperged out one of the mods. Why do you think so many people left Something Awful?
>no it's not it's better now
>lists the very reason why it's worse: less communities to escape to when one gets power hungry mods
Yeah because paid mods were so great on Twitter, right? Don't forget to take your Centrum Silver, gramps.
No twitter mod is going to LITERALLY ban you because you wrote "your" instead of "you're" a few times across various posts.
Did you think I was joking when I said that kind of shit happen? Did you think that was hyperbole?
That is ACTUALLY how bad moderation used to be on the internet. The term "grammar nazi" exists for a reason, it was a common reason to get banned.
Okay pops, I get it. It sometimes sucked back then. You were in some shitty newsgroups and BBSes when you were a twatty brat.
>sometimes
lol
For usenet maybe, but stuff like IRC or web forums didn't have many options. If you weren't walking on egg shells around the mods you were banned.
>sometimes
Yes. Sometimes. Thus far you've not given us any reason to think you were anything but an annoying kid back then. All your examples have been of you being a shitposting moron, or arguing with mods like a sperg.
Mods were the spergs, anon. They actively sought out anyone they disagreed with, made sure you knew they were a mod and could ban you, and then would get into arguments with you.
What we have now is a blessing compared to how things used to be, even with the discord trannies and reddit mods. You couldn't just host your own site back then, that required you to actually physically own a server on a good connection back then, and even if you did that it could still get DDoS'd into oblivion like nothing.
These days you can pay dollars a month to host something and you get cloudflare DDoS protection for free with a domain name.
God you sound like such a boomer.
>"You kids have it so lucky now. We didn't have iPhones in my day!"
>These days you can pay dollars a month to host something and you get cloudflare DDoS protection for free with a domain name.
Unless your name is Null and you pissed off a pedo troony trying to sell drugs to kids
You wouldn't get banned from an entire IRC network for wrongthink, though. A channel, yes, but there were tens of thousands of channels to choose from on the larger IRC networks.
And on the largest IRC servers you had the main channel for something, a channel for the rejects of that channel, and then 100 channels with like 1-4 people in it who are desperately waiting for someone to join.
Exactly the same problem we have now, except you had even fewer practical options. Centralization is cancer, but there's still plenty of options outside the normiesphere.
Holy frick I remember that shit, moderators for sites used to be such power tripping c**ts.
Can we start doing this again? Anyone who says something like cuh bruh fr fr on god :skull: just gets instab&, no mercy.
Give the nazi's power again, at least they used it to curb degeneracy.
>because paid mods were so great on Twitter, right? Don't forget to take your Centrum Silver, gramps.
Yes? I can share my nazi manifesto now
I was around back then too but how is this any better than the current internet we have now? If anything, getting banned from a centralized platform locks you out pretty hard because everything is centered around a few select sites.
It's better now because ban evasion is pathetically easy and there's tons of sites with little/no moderation like Ganker.
>getting banned from a centralized platform
Shouldn't be a problem unless the ban is somehow tied to your real identity. Something nobody ever did before social media shit.
>centralization good
No back in the 90s centralization was AOL and that was for homosexuals. It wasn't even the real internet for a while, sort of like phonetards who only use a few sites through apps.
No one said centralization is good, homosexual.
You're damn right, kid.
Yes, you literally have to be a targeted individual by the mainstream media to have your site threatened, and even then you can still bring it back up online.
>no one said centralization is good
Okay, so then why is it every time I said it was bad, you waddle over here in your depends and go, "Lookihere sonny! In MY day we had to..."
You said centralization is the problem, it's not.
And even if it was, you have FAR more many options today despite everyone using the big normie sites.
The problem is people are moronic, and whenever you give a moron a little bit of power they turn into a fricking nazi who thinks they know better than you. A problem as old as time.
Is it a problem or is it not? Make up your fricking mind. You're such a fricking sperg, dude. No wonder the mods kicked you so much back in the day.
You said it was "THE" problem. It's not, it's "A" problem, and one that is actively becoming less of an issue every day thanks to ActivityPub.
It is THE problem. It's THE problem because you cannot get rid of shitty behavior online because that's just human nature. But if you compared today vs back then, you would have less places to get banned/kicked from today for posting obvious erroneous information or sperging out on mods for correcting a minor typo in your post, you disingenuous old fart.
You have plenty of places to go today. You just don't know where to look, and good thing that you don't.
All your options today are moderated better, run on better software with faster servers and less normies. They also have more users with more activity compared to your options in the past.
Centrilization is already a solved issue, it's just a matter of time before congress reforms the internet in a way where corporate run social media sites can't function anymore. See: Section 230 reform. All the big sites aren't profitable anyway, so even if no laws change they will still lose investors.
>You have plenty of places to go today. You just don't know where to look, and good thing that you don't.
I agree. It's probably filled with people like you.
Don't worry, even (You) are gonna benefit from the change that is inevitable. Corporate social media has never been profitable, so it's only a matter of time before it dies out.

>shilling some pajeet scam software
No thanks.
The difference was in the 80s/90s and into the 2000s even a douchebag op or even sysop's power only went so far. Yes, in their channel or BBS their word was law, but you had tons of others completely independent - as was your identity. Nothing followed you and there wasn't a vast centralization of proprietary services the way there is with Discord or the like.
>>The 2000s were a fluke because so many new people got online at the same time
>Everyone stayed in their little pockets in the early internet

That happens to me a lot. I've met some cool people that turned out to be ex-methheads, really fun when they have random breakdowns or in one case one of them had a full relapse - they disappear for a couple weeks, like we thought they died or something, then out of no where i get a call from them crying they were locked up in jail for a while because they relapsed and lit someone on fire and now they're on probation and their life is falling apart. And I'm like... wtf i've never even met this person before and just played vidya games with them and their friends a couple times.... Bruuuuuhhhh....
all the good groups are hidden and gatekeep like crazy so you're never getting into them, ever
>>even if you did they just ban you at the drop of a hat because it's easier that way
This crap pisses me off, I am prone to shit talk since basically that was the norm for gaming but if you do it in a discord server they will take anything you say as treason and if you weren't actively sucking their dicks for the last 3 years they will just straight up kick you out of the server.
you shouldn't be on those servers in the first place. I can understand if you want a mod or something for a game, but then you just frick off and never talk to those freaks again
>filled with pedos
>filled with underaged kids
yep, i used to be that underaged kid and now as a 27 year old boomer it feels weird as frick hanging out and talking to literal children. cant do it lol
it used to be us but now we're getting old and interacting with someone 5 years younger feels weird

everytime i start playing an MMO thats not runescape. went back to GW2 last year, and some dude tried to groom me into being a third in his gay threesome. he thought i was an underage girl, and tried to shower me with gold, and items so i would ERP with him.
i tried to tell him i was a guy, but he insisted that i type like a girl, and then never asked my age. i started doing art around that time too, and he mentioned that he was an artist. he then sent me drawings he traced of real children, alongside e-girlcon porn. i reported him to the FBI, but i doubt they're going to do anything about it. the one guild i was invited to through him, got trashed by grooming alligations though, so thats a plus.
gaming sucks, try other things and expand your skills while you wait for something worthwhile to release. that, or get into party games with friends, if you're looking for a social thing.
this is why i love tf2, the worst thing that can happen to me is i get kicked from a game, they have made me someone else's problem
>only people I kept are at least around that decade+ gap
When the internet stops being gay I'll try again.
this post tells the truth. the quality of people online has decreased strepitously in the last 2 decades.
it's a side effect of a hobby becoming mainstream.
captcha SG0YRT
or maybe, just maybe, you got older while playing videogames and still, oh horror, a tiny bit smarter and less ignorant IRL? Clearly against your will. But, you can clearly see nao, that human beings have always being a bunch of moronic emotionally driven animals. And that you have no desire to talk to any of them. Esp not, if you're looking for some time alone and to relax with videogames.
No. Shit got worse. The emotional drive in the past wasn't towards the same things as now which are anti-human.
This anon is gaslighting, this is what gaslighting looks like

covid has unironically destroyed socializing
I grew up during the big text role-playing days in the 90s, websites like AOL were filled with people who just wanted to have fun talking about nerdy shit and making up stories and characters. I played games with so many people, even met a few people from online.
I miss it so bad. I'm terrible at face to face communication and now people are just so terrible, they'll shit on you at the drop of a hat. No one wants to actually talk about anything. It's so bad that when I find a good discord with fun people I end up obsessing and overdoing it because I'm trying so hard to recapture it.
I miss the Yahoo custom chats too, some of the old forums and IRCs, I miss old internet culture.
My theory is that people used to be socialized offline before going online, now you're dealing people literally raised online...
>get friend request

How autistic are they?
Depending how on the spectrum either of them are, they will either sideline you, or be happy to let you join.
Just don't respond.
Any sort of text messaging system should be treated as a pager service.
Nothing said over text is an emergency.
It's not that hard.
Stop being gay.
Or I can just press the invisible button and not have to get messaged at all.
People can still message you while you're invisible.
Sure it's possible, but no one will out of the blue message an offline person unless they're extremely clingy.
What little free time I have I prefer to gayme alone.
I can't trust myself online without getting banned for saying simple words
People get friend requests?
I unironically never enjoyed talking to people and always viewed it as a chore. Even when I was a kid. People would friend me in WoW when I was 13 and try to talk to me when I logged on and I always found it stressful and annoying. I guess I'm some kind of sperg but it is what it is.
I was 19 and in college when wow released. good thing you weren't around for bnet. you probably would haven't killed yourself
when I played OG WoW as a kid chatting online was as natural as breathing. now I'm like the other anon. life is funny.
I have no friends on steam. Or in real life.
I just don't bother to log onto steam or whatever these days. Part of it being that I knew someone that got a little too clingy even after I told them off.
You're a coward
If I don't know you IRL, don't try to be my friend outside of games.
I'll play games with you until one of our interest fizzle out the never speak again though.
I've played mutliplayer games on Steam since 2011 and have never once received a friend request.
I'm a very outgoing homosexual erping all kinds of degenerate shit for my degenerate frens. Usually when I logo in it's one of them immediately soft sexing into a DM and I don't have the heart to tell them I don't wanna do stuff right now because it's more fun to role-play their favourite persona non-stop.
I do the same shit, but we had to move it to Discord because group sessions had that Steam bug where a group chat would go into ghost mode after a few hours and no one can see anyone elses posts
Don't let irl mental health attention gays into your erp group, they ruin everything
>Don't let irl mental health attention gays into your erp group, they ruin everything
Couldn't be more true. I kneel before your wisdom, anon. That moment when they dump their lifestory and sob to you in dm because you coomed together once and now you have to explain to a grown man that this doesn't equal an emotional relationship.
>Ganker waxs nostalgically about voice chat
I don't get it anytime people use voice chat its either a literal and I don't mean this in an insulting way but a literal moron, a child or someone playing music.
Why would anyone be nostalgic for or want to deal with this?
I only ever played zombie escape servers and I have fond memories of beating mako reactor extreme 2 and everyone cheering at the end of it when we finally passed it.
fun times in tf2 ~2010
Literally me and for once I kind of felt bad.
playing videogames is not about socialization. never was, isn't, and never will be.
I only play HoMM 3 and Dominions 5. I don't need to talk to gaylords online.
I tried playing online but I'm just too shy and can't really talk with other people so I stopped bothering.
Because
It's literally me, wtf.
Because i have my boss and some colleagues on steam and i can't stommach sonic all star racing transformed anymore.
letting others see what you're currently playing should have been a feature you have to turn on and not a default
I don't appear invisible (only do that when loading up Vam in VR), I just don't accept friend requests unless we communicated a bunch in game during a match.
All I get are scammers, Russians and South Americans (see first) trying to add me and spam me with scam websites due to my CS:Go inventory
>new contact during a period of little responsibility and a focus on socialization
vs
>me trying to enjoy the couple of hours of free time I have the way I want between my job/house work/yard work
I still play with my bros regularly but sometimes you just want to enjoy your favorite singleplayer game without everyone pestering you to play the latest FOTM
I am always online and get some message like once in 6 months, idk what's wrong with you people
>play a single match with a guy
>sends friend request without even saying anything
Checkmate, atheists
has nothing to do with the christianity. was there way before christcucks even existed. Just like everything else, the tradition was stolen from a better, superior people, that came before the monoteistic religicucks.
>was there way before christcucks even existed
wrong
I dont think killing 60% of your children is being superior people, and that was literally all tribes.
Mine is set to invisible on steam constantly or else I still get invites to play Dota 2 and I legit haven't had it installed in over a decade.
My best friend got a gf a few months after we really started to connect and work on cool projects together, now he's just gone.
and you wish you were the gf
Honestly yeah
you will get over it in a few years
It will only get worse. Soon you'll be the only single person in your group. Hope the girl he got is a decent lass, because if not, RIP.
I'm always visible and @ everyone when I come online. If I don't respond to someone then they need to work harder at keeping me interested and entertained by their conversation.
because I hate you, nerd
I've literally never used this feature, but I also get a message on Steam like once every 6 months.
>find out co-worker is a nerd
>we exchange info
>hang out outside work
>it doesn't take long for him to start crying about Trump and January 6th and how America NEEDS more immigrants
>stop conversation cold and say I need to go shopping
>never talk to him outside work again and only exchange the most basic greetings at work
Is he israeli by any chance?
Nope just a beta mind broken by israeli tricks.
20+years of zogtricks will do that to (You)
Many such school cases!
I'm too afraid to add people and nobody ever adds me. I'll never have friends.
>Anon you should be playing League of Legends or WoW with us instead of playing single player games
>Anon why are you playing games when you have 40 episodes of (shitty anime I'm going to b***h at you untill you watch) left
When you have one of these friends in real life who is part of the friend group you start doing this. Of course it didn't matter because he'd look through my profile and achivements anyway.
>dude with anime profile adds me after a match
>uh maybe it's just a weeb and not a clingy troony this time
>accept
>next day hes blogposting to me while I'm at work like we're a couple
every time
In my experience they're usually polite at least, despite the sudden spouts of emotional vitriol.
The pain of telling clingy children to frick off is too big
My sleep is fricked. sometimes I sleep 2hours, sometimes I cant sleep for 2-3days. sometimes I sleep 20 hours. I don't have the strength.. Some days I forget to eat, but atleast I'm keeping the house clean..
>asked friends if they're up for a quick co-op game on Steam
>all of them said "nah at the moment, too busy, have to work, spend time with gf/family, etc"
>saw their playtime hours go up the next day
why are you checking their playtime hours? just stop caring and let them do their thing
They could've done those things, but had some time left at the end of the day, or they simply played in the night, sometimes you're just too tired to talk with other people, atleast when you have already done so for the day, but yes. enough strength to play your game that you're obsessed with.
Playing your favorite game and talking with someone while playing a multiplayer game is very different.
>Checking playtime
have a nice day. I'd hide from you too.
honestly if you're clingy enough to check everyone's playtime on their games then you need a therapist
dont check their playtime even because you can
just like I had to stop checking my bumble matches distances to see if they were going back online or moving around even though they hadnt replied to me

You did good anon
on the bright side, you probably made that cancer kids life a lot better
You probably made gaming one of the kid's better experiences and was a place he could feel "normal" and not be "the cancer kid", so good on you anon. Its tough to know the amount of engagement with something like that is preferable (ie ranging from people who don't want anyone to know they were sick at all, to those who make their illness their only part of their personality), but it seems like if you went back to the usual and he didn't keep bringing it up, he just wanted to let you know but probably appreciated you just being there to game with him. Sad story though.
How long ago was this? It clearly wasn't ages, but it seemed like before things went to perma shit in the middle of the 2010s, you'd have more engagement like this. You'd meet people while gaming, know nothing about them and still game with them, and then maybe you'd end up sharing some bit of info or not, as opposed to everything being centralized social media identity bullshit and the expectation of it.
How do you make Steam friends? No one has ever wanted to be friends with me.
it was another time where people acted online sort of like they did irl, and thought of other users as people, but now its soulless zoomers who see you as bots
>Gankertards
shut the frick up
I do it when I'm playing a single player game because I don't want anyone to disrupt me which means I'm always in invisible mode
Invisible?
I don't even start Steam most weeks
>set invisible
I don't even need to do this
I always remove the dead ones, am I a psycho?
i used to accept any friend request without question but not anymore. the past three random invites were just low-effort scammers. i get friend requests very rarely and the little bell stays green if you don't do something about it. so i check their profile and if it's private, or if i literally can't find any indicator why this person would want to contact me like having a games or groups in common, then i ignore them.
there is also a trust-based fanmade anti-cheat going around for TF2 i think, and one of the merits of losing trust is being friends with cheaters, so even less incentive to accept friend invites from randos who've played TF2.
there's also a bit of inherent security with using invisible mode. your friends and people on this network can't use your online time to track what times you're typically active. saves you from a bit of e-stalking, but the reality is, yes, i am in invisible mode because i do not want you to talk to me.
>there is also a trust-based fanmade anti-cheat going around for TF2 i think
Jesus Christ that's the worst idea i've ever heard. I've been accused so many times of cheating in multiple different games and I'm not even that good. I'd be instantly banned off every server with this "anticheat".
Funnily enough it's usually Germans that do this. Idk why they're like this.
nah it's a fine idea if you learn all the grit. it's more meant to address the bot problem than regular cheaters. it's been a while since i watched the vid on it but there's a lot more protective logic in place than you think. it's a mod you install that auto-vote kicks if confirmed cheaters eg. bots join the game. by "untrustworthy" it kinda more means "not sure about this guy", you have to be an actual bot or a cheater scumbag to get a votekick automatically made against you and keep in mind it's literally only a fragment of the playerbase playing with the mod installed.
the "detect friends" feature is meant to uncover bot networks, since people are dumb enough to run bots that are all socially linked to one another.
No, lately I've been playing Day of Defeat: Sauce and I've been banned off multiple server for "cheating". With if those servers were running an "anticheat" like that I'd have to get a new account to play on all other servers running it.
All because admins are moronic.
like i said you'd have to be a literal confirmed cheater to be kicked by a mod like that and it's cast by players not admins. it's not targeting you for being sus, it's targeting you because your steam ID was literally recorded in a replay and confirmed by a human being that you were botting. the friend's of bots trust feature is only to detect possible bot networks.
i am not explaining this again.
>he is surprised that someone that would cheat would also lie
only Ganker could misconstrue
>id rather not accept invites from strangers as there's an ongoing bot problem being addressed by fans in a rather controversial way
with
>i am a literal sociopath
the people responding to you are female minded, forgive them for being raised without strong male role models
Do you call every guy you don't like a woman?
i said they're female minded, not actual women
So you called them pre-op trannies? That's a classic.
>still misconstruing what i'm saying
definitely female minded
it sucks when the cool guy you used to play games with just opens the emotional trauma floodgates, like frick man i'm still your friend but stop dumping your years of baggage at my doorstep
I'm just trying to figure out what your zoomer newspeak words mean since you won't explain them.
I know effeminate, I know catty, but I don't know female-minded. It sure does seem like something an effeminite homosexual would invent to deflect.
>but I don't know female-minded.
simple, it's taking on the mental habits of a female without actually being one, always assuming things that aren't actually true and coming to conclusions that no male minded person would come to.
people who try to brute force ace attorney games typically have that mindset
Yeah no wonder no one messages you.
Why do I have to broadcast to everyone that I'm online when I just want to boot up steam to play some games? I'm not always in the mood to talk.
So no one sees a popup that (You) are playing some h-game or something
what if we like...
added each other itt?
nah that would be weird haha ill go back to playing alone...
haha it would be funny though haha
ah well...
unless...
nah that would be weird, forget it
Why would I wanna be friends with a bunch of friendless losers?
I wouldn't be friendless if we became friends
Frick you
yes, but uhhhh.. if we added eachother.. we wouldnt be friendless losers! 😀
because I'm epic as shit
least friendable person in this thread
you're not epic enough to be my friend anyways
I’m scared some of you might live close to me and then you’d ask me to hang out irl and it ends up awkward as frick because you’re secretly a piss drinker and I’m semi-normie.
as much as I would like to have my friends list increase in number, I feel like adding someone from this thread, let alone this board and website is not a good idea
you're right. the few people i have added and talked to from Ganker have been absolute disasters
>get friend request from girl playing l4d2 and killing floor 2
>don't initiate a chat to play and voice chat together
In my case I’ve grown to resent my friends but don’t have the heart to tell them to leave me alone, so I just pretend I’m busy all the time until they stop hanging out with me. Then every once in a while I complain about being lonely.
I don't want (You) inviting me to join your party. Problem?
Because you ain't a friend.
You are, at best, a bot with sentience.
If you died the next day I wouldn't even notice it.
Tired of big words being devalued through this corporate label homosexualry trying to create Overton Window shifts with dictionaries.
Redefining words is a standard mind control tactic.
It’s simple morons. Appearing online means you are free, since you’re just playing games. So if your friend wants to play a game with them, your options are to ignore them to join them, but you can only ignore them so many times before they start to think you don’t want to ever play with them. So you set yourself to appear offline to get some peace a quiet, and then message them via some other social media platform if/when you do want to play with them.
homie I'm trying to play a video game not talk about that time you were raped by your high school gym coach
>sending you fap material greentexts
Based. I may not respond immediately, since I'm busy playing vidya or whatever, but I will read and enjoy it later on
Only 1 of my friends still plays games. He sent me an invite once but it was for a game I didn’t own. Rest of my friends haven’t been online for like 1000 days. Being old sucks.
>2016
>lifelong libtard
>politics find me
>vidya communities i was part of remain chill, some pololtiks but people know to keep the tism contained
>2020
>be racist now
>since we never bothered to gatekeep, communities are now filled with leftard trannies and formerly right wing irony poisoned chapotards
>leave due to overflow of cringe
if you are suffering of e-loneliness i recommend outdoors activities and making irl friends thru hobbies. the internet is done and is deliberately designed to damage your psyche the longer you use it
People in real life are just as bad, they aren't leftard trannies but they pay their nonsense lip service all the same
I miss when vidya wasnt trying to be social media.
i feel like zoomies not talking online phenomena has a lot to do with knowing you are literally in a sea of billions. it's hard to explain.
overall instead of bringing people together, the internet is pulling people apart.
>it's hard to explain.
actually i can sum it up rather succinctly:
the internet has become the real life for most people when it was just a fun thing to do 2 decades ago
you MUST show your real identity
you MUST play nice or else
you MUST agree to an arbitrary, book's long list of rules, or else
Ganker is the last and probably only fun place left on the internet
It's fear of looking foolish
Everyone else is talking in discord, so if you talk in a pub people will know you're not in discord
And if you're not in discord that must mean you have no friends
Which can only mean you're a loser
Better to remain silent that to remove all doubt
>make a friend in 7th grade
>he’s kinda annoying but I can tolerate him because we have a big friend group so it’s never us 1 on 1 most of the time
>in the 11th grade he reveals to our friend group that he’s gay, which is a problem for me cause I’m a homophone + it suddenly made him extra annoying
>after 12th grade everyone in my friend group goes to uni or joins the workforce, and overnight stop messaging me or hanging out, except for the gay friend
>I now only have one friend, and it’s the annoying gay kid I’m slowly growing to resent
>thankfully he decides to join the military, and is forced to move around the country every 2 to 3 years
>now I only see him once every year when he returns home to visit his family
>don’t have the heart to tell him I don’t really want to hang out anymore
>so every year I spend a couple days catching up with a gay dude I don’t like, while seething internally, because I don’t want to upset him
>to make it worse, my family also like him which makes it harder to cut him off
>this has been going on for over 10 years
That's why you always cut off the leftover friends so they can't hold you down or drag you back, like your "friends" did to you
I'm sure you realize by now but your friend group considered you two equally annoying gay losers, that's why you were abandoned with him
No they all abandoned each other too. It was moronic. Like 12 people all of a sudden stopped hanging out immediately after high school.
lol this thread and even the world is full of people like the gay dude, wondering what they did wrong when they are eventually left
>wanna talk about a game

Where did all the gay people come from? Im 33 and my highschool with 1500 had one legitimately outwardly gay guy
birth control pills increase estrogen content in female urine significantly
that urine together with the rest of the sewage is roughly filtrated and recirculated into tapwater supply

Bro you are a millennial, millennials dated and still can by asking their friends if they have single friends
Zoomers date exclusively through apps, they're prison gay, it's just desperation that's why they all make bussy "jokes"
>what if haha...unless?
sex addiction has a great deal to do with it. you couldn't openly browse porn and slowly get more addicted through exposure just sitting on the family pc when your family was home. you had to sneak your fap seshes. now you hide your browsing activity anytime by just using your phone.
social acceptance has a big effect on the transparency of it as well. it was not socially acceptable to be gay in the eyes of teenage males in the 90s and 00s. these days it's now trendy to be an alphabet character. so i don't fully believe the rates of homosexuality have changed, some are just more open now, the rest are simply confused morons who fell for grooming.
That's not true, I've met plenty of homophobic zoomers who hated gays like /misc/ hate the israelites, they're just careful where and who they say it too because of cancel culture.
They were brought up in this gay system so when they wake up, realizing they've been lied to their entire lives they swing hard to the right, I'd bet that each generation has successively less centrists or moderates, I've seen no recent studies that include zoomers and alpha but just think when was the last time you saw centrist zoomer? They've all picked a side.
Interesting times ahead as they say
sometime in 2010 when iphone/tumblr became mainstream. gay people become openly expressive. tim cook is gay.
There was one lesbian couple in my school (one turned turbo christian last I've checked) and a few other people came out a few months after graduation.
Because most randoms either barely talk to me afterwards, or they're cool until I get the typical 4am "I'M GOING TO COMMIT SUICIDE, PLEASE LISTEN TO MY TRAUMA DUMP OR ELSE!".
Yes it's happened multiple times over the deacade, and yes it sucks every single fricking time.
>play a certain game online that is notorious for groomer communities
>rarely talk to anyone because of this
>made one exception
>talk to this one guy on and off over the years because he just liked talking about stupid shit and it was amusing
>didn't mind until he tried to get me to join his discord
>oh boy here it comes
>tell him I prefer peace instead of discord
>he fricks off and doesn't talk to me anymore
dodged a bullet
roblox?
Because I have very social friends and sometimes I want to play single player games without having to shift-tab or alt-tab to deal with a constant barrage of messages, or sometimes I want to play games with a different group of friends. Some fricking e-girl decided I'm her emotional support square and insists on and you bet your ass she messages me 24/7 about the most pointless shit imaginable despite clearly being able to see I'm in the middle of a fricking game. If I'm actually free that's one thing, but if steam very clearly says "in a featured race" or "playing team fortress 2" take a fricking hint and let me focus on what I'm playing.
>make Ganker friend recently
>cool dude
>occasionally play fighting games together
>talk about video games and weeb shit
>no talk about politics or other controversial topics
I'd given up hope but some of you are alright
Damn Im jealous.
Honestly it feels like a massive amount of people online these days have egos the size of the fricking sun and a hair trigger temper. You can't joke around anymore and tell someone they are a homosexual and their mom is sucking off 500 dudes at once and get a laugh out of them, they all demand you worship the ground they walk on and legitimately HATE you if you say the "wrong" thing. I had a 47 year old dipshit actually try to track me down IRL because I made fun of an actual prostitute he donates $2k to a month.
>You can't joke around anymore and tell someone they are a homosexual and their mom is sucking off 500 dudes at once and get a laugh out of them, they all demand you worship the ground they walk on and legitimately HATE you if you say the "wrong" thing.
you can thank the mass migration of normalgays in 2007 for that
Every single fricking person lives entirely in their own little stream/discord/whatever bubble where they are God and you aren't allowed to interact with them unless you lick their butthole. Social media has made people into narcissistic sociopaths with god complexes.
You are not entitled to attention.
stop being a woman
Case in point.
I don't bother setting myself to offline because very few people message me. Most friends realized I'm actually really boring to talk to regularly, which is fine because it's true. I lecture them about wasting their lives playing vidya or fapping all day and constantly suggest shit like "why don't you learn a second language" or "learn a new skill".
I hate fun.
Then get off my board and never come back you fricking homosexual.
but Ganker hates fun too
I told you to frick off. Don't make me take off my belt.
Don't threaten me with a good time, homosexual
When i was younger i used to have more friends online (and irl in general too i guess) i wouldn't mind people inviting me to play games, chatting, etc. as i got older i completely lost the will to find friendships online, not that i have ever cultivated them to begin with, the last time i had a semi-regular social clique was probably back in 2017 on a random discord server that i joined by chance, whenever i play multiplayer games as a 20+ year old man it's never a case of "let me add this cool dude" you'll have maybe one good interaction with another person in the span of years worth of playing, at the most you'll play a few games with them to inevitably say goodbye forever.
I feel like making online friendships is beneath me, im too autistic and apathetic to make them irl, making them online is just a hassle and most people already have pre-estabilished friendships, i'd say overall that having friends like that to play with, unless it's your 10+ year old circle that you kept playing with, is not something you make up when you're an adult.

so?

We all are. If you aren't you'd probably have a better time over on reddit.
Yeah, thank god right. It's why all his comics are so accurate.
Yeah, can you imagine if he was a lefty?
Sure is a good thing there's no such thing as a left wing stonetoss
because they are selfish heartless bastards
if you dont want to be disturbed set do no disturb
ITS THAT EASY
invisible is just online without appearing as online
DND actually changes shit
everyone who sets invisible actually wants to be DND but is too moronic to pick DND
But I want to be disturbed, just not by you. Well sometimes but only if I don't have a better option
i already mentioned you anon, see?
>because they are selfish heartless bastards
i dont understand people who do this. the only time i go invisible is when im gonna play a porn game
Because I have lots of priorities in life and when i want to game I don't want needy people takeing up my time knowing they get pissy if I just want to be alone.
If i didnt want to be alone I'd be visible.
Easy.
lol he got me. I've been signed out for 5 years

Where is it?
Because I want to play, not deal with your social network garbage and listen to you ramble for 2 hours about how your life sucks, etc.
They're maladjusted social outcasts.
People only spend time with each other because they have something to gain out of it. There's no self sacrifice, no relationship not maintained alive because of a prior idea of self interest that sparked the whole thing.
Sincerity doesn't exist in this society and your friends are as fragile as paper walls.
I believe that technology just made everyone even more narcissistic, to the detriment of all relationships. Why ghosting is so popular.
who hurt you and why can't you let go of the past?
Average Gankerincel being confrontational and stepping on personal ground when a statement displeasing him enters his sight.
i love you anon and wish you well.
Hollow words.
i know that a random person on a message board cannot sound sincere. I know not of who you are, but i respect you for different reasons. you are here today.
i do wish the best for you. not only for yourself as a person, but for the people who's love for you, has a deeper meaning than my own.
a river within
deep into the water
salmon swim upstream
Hollow words. Quite being a gigantic homosexual too.
take psychedelics and quit being a Black person
No poetries and reddit spacing this time homosexual? Be glad that I'm at least actually sincere with my feelings for you right now.
Eat shit and die.
>le reddit le spacing le feelings aren't real
Either grow out of this homosexual pity me phase or just die old and alone
Here's something sincere: frick you
aaaaaw you did it that's great, I'm so proud of you homosexual boy
NTA I just can't stand it when people get stuck in this high school ennui.
"Nit everything everyone says is sincere" wow most people get over this before college and here you are using it to be a sour b***h and then worst of all act like it's some accomplishment
Frick you die alone

It actually was a pretty nice poem, I just had to point that out in a mean way because this thread reminded me I'm lonely and a loser.
no worries lol, i appreciate the comment. i should triple check that shit. im sorry to hear that you're alone this christmas anon. i hope things start going your way soon though.
and dont think of yourself as a loser. you'll find your niche soon enough. you just have to get out there are try stuff you know you might like. dont be afraid to fail either. a masterpiece always comes with flaws. wabi-sabi
This but unironically. It's the truth and nothing but the truth.
Altruism is ultimately selfish.
That's what makes it meaningful.
Everyone knows Christmas is made up
people spend time with each other because they like each other? damn, what a blackpill
I remember thinking like this then growing out of it. I just had a bonfire at my place just last night with some friends. I gained absolutely nothing, in fact I lost about $50 setting up the ice box and beer. Still had a blast.

that motherfricker showed me one of the worst games for me to waste my life and some money on. Also, I set myself invis so I'm not bothered by people.
you're not my friend if I don't even know you IRL
I can just tell people "I'm just doing ___ today" and usually not upset them. I get called like once a week, sometimes more, and I couldn't be happier for it. They're not even always 'hey wanna game', sometimes it's just simple chatting.
I stopped appearing online all the time when I was good at RDR2 PVP, you'd win a match or free roam event then get joined on by multiple posses worth of seething ESL morons with slippery bastard and explosive ammo.
What is the beige box thing he is looking at? I don't get it.
ummmmmmmmmmm.... where's the american politics?
If you care if people go invisible, you're likely the reason people go invisible.
I play single player games pretty much exclusively, I don't want to fricking chat when I'm playing something you clingy b***h.
This hurt my soul.
Why
I don't play multiplayer games anymore because I went from being a god at fps to like bottom 10% consistently.
I'm already invisible to everyone, I may as well appear as so.
>check stonetoss twitter
>shilling NFTs in his bio
wow fricking shocker LMAO
But even back then if people accepted friend requests they usually never played together again anyways
Because I'm an introvert and most people are buttholes.

Girls don't like it when you call them females

have you considered looking past the first definition?

one day I'll play tales of symphonia to the end I swear
I do this and then my brother sends a text to me like 4-5 days after I do this asking who I am avoiding. Dude. I just want to be left alone and play some games. Plus when he finally does get online its like 11pm or midnight when I am getting ready to wrap things up and wants to game until like 4-5am.
I both want to be left alone and also don't want to be blamed for his 10+ year relationship failing 'because he was up all night gaming with me'. How can I explain to him that I want to play games from like 6-7pm to like 11pm to midnight without him getting pissed off saying I don't want to play with him anymore?

Why do people get so butthurt about others doing this?
because they're not gamers, they're addicts
they play game to get their cheap dopamine hit and indulge in sunken cost fallacy
This thread fricking sucks lol
You have a job, you have a wife. Cool, as long as you don't extend that responsibility on internet strangers.
You're a shut-in NEET. As long as you don't b***h and moan to others about your personal problems.
