You do realize you'll have to let them win, right?
Unless you want to buttfuck the company's president in a party and get fired the next day.
>tfw work in a video game company
>tfw coworkers only play MOBAs and flavor of the month shit that is on sale on Steam
If you're wondering why triple A games suck ass, that's one of the main reasons why.

Really, John?
>>321696504
What are you an intern at a fucking school newspaper?
>>321696504
What's your point?
Melee is the current king of the casual "Immm a gayymurrr xD" crowd.

How'd you get a mouse working on the PS4?
>>321696504
Casually or competitive?tfw nobody wants to play Pokeballs and Bobbombs on Pokefloats with me
>>321696879
No, it's much worse.
>>321696676
Give them something multiplat like Lego Star Wars.
>>321696920
It doesn't matter how shitty a game is as long as you play with friends are have an amazing community the game becomes g.odtier.
That's why Halo used to be popular
>>321697158
Smash 4, for all it's flaws, tends to be pretty fun casually like I used to play the older games.
I've never against playing casual fun stuff on Melee though. Gives me an excuse to Young Link and spend my time catching items mid air and throwing them at people.

This is the worst fucking hobby to have. Because nobody else has it. People just dip into it, a.k.a. casuals.

And it's legit more hardcore than almost all of the other shit out there.
when my co-workers asked what I did in my spare time, I showed them pictures from a furry convention.
that kept them off my back for a long while.
I acted pretty normal on the first day of my job. It's a software job but I expected everyone to not be into games or just normal shit. The first question the dude training me asked was if I played bloodborne and how much. Now I regularly hang out with them and always talk and play vidya. Fun stuff
>>321697447
True enthusiasts are a small minority regardless of the hobby.
>>321698029

I have nobody irl I can talk about vidya with.
>>321698375
Anon why would you have female friends?
>>321697896
I met this one guy who was secretly the same exact archetype as me. Same taste in games, etc. But was hiding his power level and never told anyone about it. I only found out because I spotted a D&D reference on his backpack one time and he opened up to me about it later.
Over like 3 months he went on to become the most popular guy in that clique I hanged out with at the time. He even looks a lot like me. Has a gf now, too and everything. It's depressing. Especially because we still sometimes talk on Steam, and he's been saying how he feels shit's missing and he can't be himself.
Fuck society, man. Only conformists and bland people seem to be happy.

What did he mean by this?
>>321698558
Everytime someone gets into a relationship (or worse, gets married), they seem to lose all sorts hobbies and passion. That legitimately turns me off from wanting a romantic relationship of any kind.
>>321698521
Mymajorand my onlyactive hobbyare full of women.
>>321698851
This is the worst. I feel like a normie in public, just some slight awkwardness and low self esteem, but a normie. Whenever I meet someone who *really* plays games, they're just fucking creepy, weird, or unhygienic as hell, etc.
Like fuck, you guys, take a goddamn shower before you go out in public, this isn't hard. There's a difference between waking up late for work and skipping shower and going out to a planned thing where you might meet people.
>Start new job
>Guy showing me around is normie as fuck

>>321699015
That's just a bad relationship doomed to fail. After a few months, you NEED to explore eachother's hobbies and interests, otherwise the relationship will fall apart like wet paper.
If anything, that alone shouldn't keep you back, but be a reminder of how NOT to do shit.
>>321697023
That's not funny. That's how my brother died.

QUICK
You encounter a leperchaun with a green hat
He offers you one of the following:
*[shortsword]
*[notebook]
*[camera]
*[hat]
Which do you take?
>>321699530
Where's the option to fuck the leperchaun?
>>321699530
I would rather not take anything from a leper.
>>321699637
>>321699664
You tell the leperchaun that you want to fuck him and he fucks off in the other direction
"Hey, what was that, just now?"
A man in a grey cloak points at you, with stuffy brown hair, signified most by the golden spiked shoulderpads he wielded
"Uh..."
You just look at him funny.
"You should pick on people your own size, kid"
Options:
*Tell him to fuck off
*Ask him questions
*Attack him
*Leave
>>321697249
> she buys it for PS4
> they have an Xbone
Still her problem, but oh well
>>321699987
Offer him to fuck me in the ass
>>321698881
Watch your mouth
I can now dance like that at family parties and be accepted instead of them thinking I have two left feet
>>321699987
Beg him to ram his cock up your ass.

Don't tell me you're an art major
>>321698851
>>321699150
Okay, what would you guys describe as a weird or creepy person?
>>321700312
>that awkward moment where you aren't sure if he suppressed his power level to not come off as weird and he knew exactly what that was or if he just recognized an art style and watched a lot of mainstream stuff

It's really not so bad. I graduated this semester butPsychologyandswing danceis actually very fun.
>>321700171
>>321700254
"Heheh..you really wanna go for it, huh? Alright then."
The man grips the grey cloth covering him and tosses it to the side, letting it flay in the wind
Underneath the cloak was a gigantic broadsword strapped to his bare back, as he slowly grabs the handle and pulls it out.
"I'm gonna fucking cut you a new pussy and it's gonna bleed like a fuckin' virgin, kid."

>mfw I wanna at least play Dance Dance Revolution but are self-conscious
>>321701172
The community is very accepting of new people, and correcting on the dance floor is considered a huge no-no. And it helps me not be asocially retarded fuckeven though I still am for the most part.
>>321701139
We could make it an actual videogame
Right the fuck now
>see a girl in college

>plays mmos and shit like mobas
>has basic knowledge of most final fantasys and knows who tetsuya nomura and kojima are
>actually watches blizzcon and the vgas and is entertained by it
I mean, for a girl, who is also cute and somewhat hot, in a third world country where our main language is spanish and a girl knowing all this shit it really is a lot. Like 1 out of 20 girls are "gamers" and they like angry birds or "that mario game xD" at most.
Even my male best friends who are gamers but are casual at most don't know shit beyond fifa and cod.
ib4niceblogI'm gonna ask this bitch out because I'm infatuated
>>321701004
How about lay in the ground crying like a bitch while holding my gory arm since the fucker just sliced my arm down the middle with a goddamn oversized knife cutter?
>>321699015
I have have same worries about relationships.
>>321700806
Idunno. Erratic. Loud. Clingy to topics that clearly nobody's interested in. Looks weird or dresses weird or weird haircut. In general doesn't adhere by the unspoken rules of conducting one's self in public.
>>321697935
>glitches and unintended mechanics are hardecore
>>321701521
Yeah, that sounds like most of 4chan and probably me.
Show me an erratic example though.

For the longest time, I thought my boss was normie as fuck until I caught him playing 2hu on his laptop with a fucking NES controller.

>>321696920
I don't think CoD was ever bad, really. The only reason it's hated as far as I know of is just because of how frequently the games come out, and the general audience online.That's my guess, I haven't really played CoD since MW2
>>321701004
HAYMAKER
According to you betas you have to play shitty obscure games and japanese weebshit in order to not be a "normie".
You fags are retarded and your definition of a true "gamer" is laughable
>>321701642
I have no idea what I could use as an example, sorry.
>>321701878
Being or calling yourself a "gamer" is laughable.
Way to fall into the corporate advertising!
>>321701878
Nobody said anything about japanese weebshit. But you implied just now that the casual AAA shovelware aren't shitty games.
For this I wish a thousand curses upon you, and hope your computer blows up, you casual scumfuck.
>>321696504
>what qualifies you for this management position?
Well sir, although I don't have official experience, I've led rated battlegrounds in world of warcraft to a competitive rating
>World...of....Warcraft?
Yes, sir. This involves managing a 10 man team, under high stress environments, to reach specific goals. If team members are missing I am also the one that plans for replacement/backup members.
>You're hired!
This hasn't happened yet but when it does don't worry I'll report back
>>321701390
Good luck anon-kun, don't let her see you browsing 4chan.
>>321702137
And the obscure dogshit games you play are even worse. I hope your playstation 4 craps out tomorrow. I assume you own a ps4 since all you play is shit.
>>321701390
I hope you're a Chad, because women are all fucking the same, even if she's a cutie nerd/geek, she still only fucks alphas and will use betas for bux.

You simply lay down and cry like a bitch, not wanting to fight the guy, but currently bleeing the fuck out from one hit from his overbrandished blade
He raises it above you, getting ready to finish the job, when a stern voice halts his advance
"Erick."
-BATTLE END-
The man stops, turning his head to face the voice
"Oh, hey Lisa, didn't see ye there."
"Did you just attack an innocent man for talking to a leperchaun?"
Erick looks at you, then back at Lisa
"Well, he was...sexuall harrassing..."
"Is he even armed?"
Erick takes a moment to absorb the situation, then turns back to you.
"Tch. Maybe I just wanted to let loose some steam, is all."
Lisa shrugs, turning to face the alley
"Well, we should get out of here before the police arrive anyway..."
Erick grunts, slamming his sword into the ground next to you, then walking off, leaving it behind.
The two wander off...as you look up, bloodied, vision fading in and out...
Options:
*Grab sword
*Call for help
*Try to get up
*Bleed out
