It just feels weird, man.
When I was in my 20s, I suffered because no girl gave me the time of the day. Now that I'm older, young girls give me a lot of attention, and women my age WISH I gave them attention.

Have you ever met a female console warrior?
All of the girls I know who like video games don't have that mindset, I think it's a male thing.

>babby's first whores
Those girls are just being friendly and possibly acting like whores, but they will not actually put out for you, they are teasing you. Plenty of girls are like that, especially to older guys. Cause if you was getting bitches like that you wouldn't be here on the /vr/ board talking about zoomer girls being so attracted to you and trying to somehow shoehorn it into being on topic for /vr/ because they like retro?

I fucking hate Brisbane, we don't get them here because this is the lowest common denominator normie capital of the western world. Everything is safe and effortless. Nobody is eclectic, well-read, or well-anything, so obviously retro is way out of the fucking picture. All my life I've felt love at first sight online from countless girls from other states or other countries, but QLD women? I don't feel any happiness towards them. It's not just a population thing either because I've seen more women on my wavelength from fucking Tasmania or small European nations than this state of 5+ million people. God fucking dammit I hate QLD women. If you want the boring tradwife archetype who will marry and cook straight away, come to Queensland. If you don't want to beat your wife thereafter however, stay clear of this place.

I was born too early. Funny that the old games which were once associated with being a nerd are now trendy.

I hope this is obvious sarcasm.

D&D actually was considered a bit nerdy though and I also doubt it's trendy today - trendy doesn't mean one or two attention seekers.

>>10164182
Kind of see where you're coming from now. So you could say games were once considered trendy, then associated with being a nerd and now considered trendy again. Still a little hard for me to think of games like SMB3 or NBA Jam ever being associated with being a nerd though.

Everyone in them is a porn-addict, most cons are just camgirl meet-ups. It's that and a lot of gender ideology.
