>>7320092
i got out of college not getting to know anybody else IRL who likes video games

>Be me.
>At work. New job.
>Hi Anon! ^_^ So let's get to know you better! What are your hobbies? Your children? Gardening? Crochet? Playing an instrument? Yoga?
>I like videogames.
>Ohhhh, my SON likes videogames. What was it he liked again? Oh yeah! [insert name of terrible popular skinner box game] He talks to people all the time on there! What game do YOU like?
>Spent last week trying to 1cc Einhander.
>Well, uh...

Nice blog faggot where do I unsubscribe

>>7320113
me too, only a few tards who liked Carl on Duty, Halo or Fifa but not much else.

>>7320127
Fake, but namedropping games to people who don't play them is retarded and pretentious.

>>7320175
can you read

>>7320092
This. Last night I played through all of Hydro Thunder on the Dreamcast with my brother, was a real good time.

>>7320176
>my SON likes videogames
can you?

>>7320127
should have said outright you play retro games, not everyone is a fan but almost everybody has a memory of an old video game from their youth

>>7320191
you think if i said retro games normalfags would get it? eh, worth a shot.

>>7320175
Its really understated how much different the real world is compared to the internet. In a place like this if i mention Final Fantasy or Silent Hill as little know game franchises people would insult me and laugh at me because for those are mainstream popular franchises for anyone who do knows videogames BUT if i mention those games to a normie in casual conversation where videogames come up i assure you most don't even know those franchises at all and just see you as some kind of incel neckbeard hipster talking about obscure shite. So which one is it? am i a pretentious faggot or just a poser normie who likes mainstream shit? its all contextual

So its really hard to gauge, is not just coming to some normie and screaming "aaahhhh i like Lufia 2 why don't you know it ahhhh" is that people unironically inquire you about this stuff.

>die in video game
>no one to pass the controller

>>7320212
This is only sad for me sometimes because i am old enough to have known several people who i used to game with that have either died or just disappeared to the other side of the world or something

>>7320187
>>What game do YOU like?
derp

in this situation, name the Jew

All my friends are into modern games and I live a good distance away from them sadly but when I invite them over we always seem to have a good time playing old games. One of my buds and I are planning to set aside a weekend so we can 100% super mario world in a night.

Aside from fighting games which you can totally play by yourself, how the fuck isn't every retro game lone?
When you hit start on your giant vagina you're instantly logged into half a dozen social media accounts that post images of your actions. You must respond to every like before paying rental fee to begin your game. How is that lone?

>>7320210
I notice it a lot more on this board. just a bunch of angry old men with no one to be mean to in real life so they do it here. sad!

>>7320127
Hide your power level you aspergers faggot

>>7320267
there should not be a reason to hide any power level, people are usually nice and even find your hobbies interesting unless you act like unlikable smug cunt about it which is the problem for autistic assholes with shit personality who say things like that

>>7320092
this is some zoomie shit. why the fuck would i need social validation to play video games?
i used to play SNES games to get away from the world. i still do, but i used to, too.

>>7322116
not everyone is a lifelong loser with a grudge

>>7322136
i get along fine with people but why the fuck would i care about anyone else when it's just me and the CRT

>>7320227
>in this situation, name the Jew
Literally what?

>>7320092

>>7322225
>CRT
yeah, that explains it

>>7320092
>>7322136
>>7322301
bro what the fuck are you talking about - nobody thinks you need to be with others to enjoy retro games. Take your emotional bullshit elsewhere.

>>7320127
couldn't just say something known like mario, gta, anything that isn't autistic for cover?

>>7320127
>listing your hobbies as video games
Just say you like to read. Most people won't question you and if they do throw out some popular author like Stephen King or something that normies won't bat an eye at.

Alright see the issue with both of your posts is that you guys don't seem to understand the idea that you're talking to difference audiences. Out in the 'wild', so to speak, it's perfectly respectable that you wouldn't hear about anything but the very very most popular of video games. However if you're going to invade a much more niche group then you're going to be expected to know more niche stuff about the subject of said group. You're the one in the wrong for thinking you belong in that smaller more specialized group without taking the time to learn enough about the subject to actually engage in it.
tl;dr lurk before posting
You wouldn't bitch about a bunch of math nerds talking about nerdy math stuff on a forum for math stuff and not being able to fit in so why complain at people when you don't know enough to fit in with retro games?

Imagine needing someone other than yourself.

hanging yourself should work

>>Ohhhh, my SON likes videogames. What was it he liked again? Oh yeah! [insert name of terrible popular skinner box game] He talks to people all the time on there! What game do YOU like?

Zoomers are raised on an online multiplayer environment with e-"friends", while most everyone played with cousins and/or school friends, you're either lying/trolling or just a sad sack of shit.

>>7320127
>Unironically wanting to talk to retard normalfags
I tell my coworkers as little as possible about myself. My boss keeps talking to me about my career at the company, which is funny to listen to not only because they have basically no idea what I do at all but I'm also planning on quitting in a few months.

>>7320227
This. Just derail the conversation into a spike pit to see what happens.
