Has anyone ever given you shit for liking video games?
just /v/
My parents.
Except it's not shit per-se. It's passive-aggressive comments about not "living in the real world" even though I work, go to school, and am the only one in the immediate family who keeps up with current events.
Just condescending comments like "I bet Anon just played video games all week long!"
When in actuality I shitposted on 4chan all week and slept way too much in a depressive haze.
my parents usually, part of the reason I stopped playing vidya in the living room was because it never got any praise.

i can HONESTLY say i've been asked a MILLION times
>>335957731
>even though I work, go to school
Tell them to fuck off, it's not like you're a NEET and its justified.
>>335957731
My friends and family humor me by remaining silent and rolling their eyes. It pisses me off more than if they actually engaged in the conversation.

Sure. Friends, family, etc. all telling me I'd be better off spending some of that time socializing, working out, or just doing anything productiveThey were right
When I was 11 in a new neighborhood and one of our neighbors came over to greet us.
I was polite to her before heading to play on my N64. She then saw me set it up and scoff at me while telling my mom, "Well my little Billy is forbidden to play games. They make murderers." Couldn't think of anything to say but "Fuck you, lady."
Got grounded for an hour.
>>335957506
My self-consciousness.
My parents used to rag on me for spending too much time on the computer when I was a kid but they kind of gave up when they realized their son was a good-for-nothing beta autist.

Some people are over the age of 18 on this website. Shocking, I know.

My mom called me over one day to the living room where she was watching TV. She had it paused and told me I might find it interesting. It was a news story about a kid who killed his dad because the dad took his copy of Halo or something. I asked what she meant by showing this to me but she just reiterated that she thought I'd find it interesting. I don't think she remembers that but I lost a lot of respect for her that day.
only faggots on the internet kek
I did a research paper on video games for a class once, saw a girl white girl smirkI did it for an easy grade I swear
The worst I have to deal with Is my family thinking I'm Bill Gates everytime they want to do shit on a computer/anything modern.
I'm a consolefag and have to put up with the bullshit is the worst part.
>Anon pull up Facebook for your granny on her tablet.
>You don't love me if you don't.
>I wish I could die already.
Who the fuck buys a tablet for an old woman and man who insists on not wearing theirr glasses and guilt trips everyone with the "I wish I could die already" shit every fucking time they can't do something themselves?
Fuck my future is this grim since I have their genetics.
Sorry anons for being a little bitchboi but I had to get this off my chest lest I go insane.
>>335957910
wow, so not normal. thats really quirky yo! damn those conformists, im not one, i liek skyrim,
No one ever gave me flak for it other than my auntie. Whenever she was around she didn't like to see me play video games with my brothers because she thinks they're inappropriate for girls to play.
She still kinda teases me about it, but she was the one who gave me the money to build my own PC. So I love her, she's a cool auntie.
>>335957874
Joke's on them!
>>335958593
Pssh, tablets are so idiot-proof they are a breeze to help out with. Now being asked for help on a Windows computer with a shitton of adware installed on it makes me want to kill myself.
>>335958756
>Anon, your games are slowing down the computer!
>>335958386
What are you talking about?
>>335957910
Just as guy doesn't have to be a neet neckbeard while enjoying video games, you don't have to be a fat outcast who refuses to make a little effort.
Girls and guys who base their entire personality on video games are really pathetic or at the very least uninteresting people.
Only most of my younger years. I learned very fast that calling yourself a "gamer" was social suicide, and an instant gurantee to make you a nerd pariah.
I quickly changed to explaining my hobbies as "hanging with friends" and as normie and lame as it sounds, I stopped catching flak for being a gamer.
Girls especially were outcasting the supposed "gamer".
Nowadays playing video games is infinitely more common thanks to the sports games and cowadooties.
Femenism slowly crept in and has actually become relevant, and all i can do now is bitterly blog on /v/ about how my hobby has gone the mainstream way of pop music.
Clearly suicide is the only option for this generation and all others.

He's saying that the gap between PS1 and Skyrim should be larger than the time between high school and college. I was in elementary school when PS1 was popular, and Skyrim came out when I was in college.

Ikr I hope you never have to deal with this shit even asks me whats wrong with cable/tv when I know for a goddamn fact they know how to use a remote.
>>335957506
Women do all the time.
They say it's immature and childish and they don't quite get the concepts behind playing games.
So, I generally avoid discussion video game with anyone unless its a friend.
>>335958756
>makes me want to kill myself
Dude stop guilt tripping anon
>>335959023
Oh.
>>335959073
Or
>Anon, your games crashed this piece of shit windows 98 gateway
>Anon, please help my unfuck my computer from all the shady ladyboy porn your uncle tries to browse
Either way, the screen was often turning blue.
>>335957628
First reply best reply
>>335957506
when i was a kid
now it's so pervasive no one really cares
Only online, and that doesn't faze me
>>335958339
>Only an hour
You're parents probably agreed with you
>>335959073
I have the same shit happening until the family computer died two years ago and I am never gonna have another computer in my house as long as I live.
They'd click on clickbait like "you have Facebook friends waiting" and stupid "lonely girls are around you" shit.
Caught that goddamn fbi extortion virus 4 times and now only thing I have is phones for browsing.
>>335959073
Oh god I hate this.
If you just install Norton Antivirus everything will be fine!
>>335959717
How many family members you have living there, anon? Which one is the worst?
>>335959889
Two and the shit is driving me insane.
>>335957506
I grew up in the 80s, so yeah
>>335959889
My dad is the worst about the shit.
Like he'll ask me to help with his ss and he doesn't like me asking him the required answers then yells at me for trying to help because
>muh can't see to read those
yet he can text and drive at the same time and yes he has has an accident.
>>335959013
It sounds to me like the dudebros and feminists made it acceptable for kids like you to call themselves gamers without social ostracization.
I mean it sucks that you missed it, but it's no reason to resent the kids who have it better than you did. That's like an old faggot complaining how young faggots didn't have to work as hard to be faggots.

And rock. And genre fiction
My mom was convinced by Jack Thompson that video games make psychos.
She then took me to a therapist because I was "too exposed to video games"
My told my friend and he told me to fake symptoms of Schizophrenia.
I now get $3,679 in benefits a months from wagecucks because the gov doesn't want me going mass murderer.
>>335957506
My son of all people hates vidya.
He often complains me and my wife spend too much time "staring at the box." I don't know when or how he became a luddite.
>>335959839
None of that shit because already paid for computer why pay more?
Goddamn fbi dothead hacker fucks and fuck my family.

My mom called me over one day to the living room where she was watching TV. She had it paused and told me I might find it interesting. It was a scene from some HBO TV-movie with two men making out and fondling each other. I asked what she meant by showing this to me but she just reiterated that she thought I'd find it interesting. I don't think she remembers that but I lost a lot of respect for her that day.

When I was younger one of the first games I got really into was Runescape. I would do my best to only play when my father was not around because he would mock and ridicule me for playing Runescape. As I got older my father stopped being an asshole. He is a pretty cool guy now.

My wife's son gives me tons of shit for playing "kids games" like tf2
>>335962112
Is your wife's son black and does he like Naruto?
>>335957628
This.
>>335962112
Likes nba and occasionally gets in your bed when you aren't there? Is he 30 and named Daquan?
in 5th grade I was playing a game on a computer we had in the classroom because I finished my work and every time I did this some other kids made fun of me for it
I ignored it the first several times until I got so mad I threw a desk, never really had anger like that again so I don't know why I did that
Thinking about it, not really. I didn't make a big deal of it, though, so I'm not sure anyone even knew.
These days there's no one to make fun of me. The loneliness is a pitch black darkness engulfing my entire existence and only gets worse with time.
My parents tried to give me the "You're too old to be playing video games!" talk.
I called them on it since they had bought a NES when they were my age, and they left it at that.
this happened quite recently
>playing dark souls 2
>cousin (about 5 yrs old i cant remember) came to visit (obviously with his mother)
>was trying to make an unlikely jump in game
>failed too many times
>cousin comes to see me
>i change equipment after a while to orange butterfly insect thing wings
>looks gay as fuck
>my cousin says i look like a fag
>finnaly made the jump
>he still shat on me
maximum kek
zxt
My parents don't fault me for playing video games as a hobby, but they regret introducing me to them through educational computer games as a kid.
>>335963491
your cousin is cool. buy him a beer and make sure he never turns gay
my nephew trated me like a casual for playing Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright, because I wasn't playing CoD or shit like thatfucking shit ending tho
>>335957506
Oddly enough, no. People appear more impressed from it than anything else since they start asking me questions and want recommendations from me. Parents have always been completely fine with it too.
>>335957506
Is that kid high? Why is there a cop in the living room?
>>335963996
5 yr old drinking beer is the perfect way to make sure he never turns gay.
>>335965414
>actually drinking beer
Enjoy your estrogen.
>>335965414
yup gay dude aren't fat fuck
