why is minecraft associated with autism?
>>336537726
Everyone on Earth has a copy and autists like building blocks.
>>336537726
A lot of autists play it.
>>336537726
Probably because of the autism.
It's loved only by kids and those way too dedicated to building shit no one cares about out a virtual legos.
>>336537726
Because anything that is time consuming is considered autistic on /v/
>>336537726
It's a tool for creativity. Anything that can let people express their creativity easily is surely going to attract a lot of autism.
>DeviantArt
>LEGO
>Unity games
Because of the autistic children who make their parents buy the t shirts lunch boxes backpacks etc. A lot of mentally handicapped children glue themselves to a brand and will beg and plead for their parents to buy the merchandise. I know this one kid who just draws food from cloudy with a Chance of meats balls all night and will just watch it over and over
>>336537726
in /v/ standards if you put more than 50 hours into a game it's autism.
>>336538931
Sega should create a Sonic Maker then, that shit will print money
>>336538880
>>336539196
It's not just a /v/ meme with Minecraft though. It really is played almost exclusively by kids and autists at this point.
>>336539175
I always find it a bit weird when kids get attached to shitty cash grab movies. Like some part of me wants to go back in time and give the poor kid a copy of shrek or something so that they can at least develop a semblance of taste
because the creeper got D E S T R O Y E D
>>336539221
That would be pretty cool.
>>336539367
>shrek
Jesus son, you could have at least said the incredibles or something.
>>336539221
I'd play it.
Imagine the /v/ threads of people digging some pretty retarded shit and everyone sharing their ironically edgy hedgehogs.
>>336539221
People can barely manage to construct simple Mario levels that aren't complete shit.
How the hell you think they're going to build Sonic levels with far more complicated pieces like all sorts of different slopes and ramps and loops and shit, and consideration for physics and high speed and whatnot needing to be made?
>>336539367
>tfw you won't ever experience pure unadulterated happiness just by watching some half ass animated movie

>Minecraft Beta 1.1_02 came out nearly 6 years ago
>>336539823
I'm sure kids would even get a kick over him running a straight line, they just want to see Fest
>>336539175
That autistic child.... is you?
>>336539823
with the power of autism
I like Terraria. Bosses are fun, building mechanisms is neat, I like my town of NPCs
is Minecraft like that? I don't know much about it.
>>336539823
they should also allow you to create characters, imagine this, playing as your own sonic character
>>336540023
why do you have to depress me
>>336540115
How did you see through my ruse?
>>336540237
What the actual fuck?
>>336539221
This is Sega we're talking about. They haven't made a single good business decision since the early '90s.
It wouldn't be surprising if one of their higher-ups are a saboteur pitching only shit ideas that the suits gobble up.
>>336538043
I actually don't have a copy
>>336540237
Minecraft is like better for building because 3D, but the exploration/combat content is fucking awful, boring and lacking, and still reeks of unfinished game to this day.
it takes over 20 hours just to build a mudhut
>>336540237
this is the minecraft/lets player audience
Possible reasons:
>it's a game about stacking shit and autists love stacking shit
>it's very popular with kids. It's easy to assume that everyone on the Internet is the same age, sex and race as you, so normal kids doing normal kid things look like 18 year old manchildren
>/v/ made it popular, and everyone here is autistic
>>336539316
There's probably plenty of people who play it and don't talk about it, just like people who play simcity. It's just that minecraft is even easier than simcity.

Modern society thinks its really cool to act post modern and apathetic and ironic, so whenever anyone puts any effort or interest into anything its considered autistic.
>>336540952
Doesn't Sweden have much higher autism density than Murca?
>>336540952
I don't think this counts, because other countries aren't equipped to diagnose it. There's always been the same percentage of autistic people born, but now it's better understood and you can identify it.
>>336541034
>[arbitrary qualifier]
It's still Minecraft, faggot. It plays about the same, even if Microsoft is fagging it up.I was going to buy it on PC right when the "beta" "ended" but I was too late. My brother wanted to play it with me and he doesn't own a PC.
>>336537726
Minecraft is a Swedish game.
Sweden is statistically the most autistic country on Earth.
You do the math.

I have a 20-year-old friend with very mild autism. You can tell something's off with him, but if no one told you he has autism, you might never guess it. He plays Minecraft. He has a nephew that also has autism, but much more serious. He plays Minecraft too.
>>336540918
What's worse?
Kids who are autistic and genuinely like a video game
or
girl gamers
>>336541227
I don't know if many swedes are autistic, but notch is extremely autistic, cue that "dancing" gif
>>336541212
The console versions are a bit more frustrating to build on. If you're just building some random house to fuck around in for a bit it's alright, but if you're going for some massive "dump shit from imagination" build PC does have better options to make life easier. Still, whatever option you have at hand I guess
>>336541272
You pretty much have to be a horrorshow battlestation post dwelling, bottle-pissing, no eye-contact/coherent conversations with strangers, capital A Autistic to get any money out of the state though, right?
>>336541340
That sounds like cheater talk
>>336537726
why is watermelons associated with niggers?
>>336537726
Autists generally like repetitive activities and management.
>>336541403
I'd say "girl gamers" like the ones on Twitch are worse.

SEGA did do some,thing like this in 2008. They made a Sonic level maker for the PlaySEGA website, (which was taken down by the group who hacked PSN in 2011) but the level editor was pretty lame with only one level which isn't even from any classic sonic game and people stopped using it after 2009.
>>336540918
>>336541669
I refuse to believe that's anything but bait anon, minecraft being the easiest game in existence is the reason why kids are the top consumers.
I'm working with children right now to diagnose children who fit on the spectrum of autism. We've set them up in rooms with Lego bricks and computers set up with Minecraft.
The answers we got from one autistic child was pretty insightful:"Because I feel safe when I'm in a world where all the colors are easy to identify stuff and I don't seem so dependent on my family or others. I feel competent to do what I want instead of lost. Other games are too difficult and force me to understand things only normal kids can really get. I can build a snake just with a few blocks of Legos, but Play-Doh wants me to flatten, stretch, poke it to give it eyes and add red doh for a tongue."
He's pretty spot on. Autistic children so far hate being challenged above their current ability, while others like learning and try new things.

>>336540947
Minecraft has shitloads of clones, but I don't think any of them have been that successful.
It's been mentioned already in the thread, but Terraria is a great 2D side-view version of Minecraft with pretty decent exploration and combat.
>>336540446
Wow, congrats. You sure showed that anon for what he is; a dirty fucking liar. Everyone will shun him for attempting to spread the fabrication that every single person on the planet has Minecraft. Way to go.
>>336542478
Yeah I played terraria for a bit, but the building didn't catch on as much as minecraft did, mostly because it was 2d. The exploration and combat are definitely leagues better than minecraft, but that's not hard to do at all.
I'd like some sort of game where I can slowly put together a RPG world for kicks, and as simplistic as minecraft is, it does the job to some extent.
>>336539367
>shrek
>>336540023
Fucking hell. I remember playing it with my HS friends.
>>336541127
That's a very good point.
If you put any effort into anything, the standard response you'll get is "what is the point in even trying lol what an idiot".
And that applies to everything, not only hobbies. When I told my friends that I'm going to study abroad, the first I heard was "why would you even do that just settle down, get a shitty job and make some kids".
People admire celebrities for their hard work, but if there's anyone they know putting any effort into anything, they'll try their earnest to drag them down.
Why is that? Why do people want others to wallow in mediocrity? I don't understand.
>>336540237

>>336540237

>>336542807

>>336539221

My example is this picture. The guy wanted to write something, he got his evidence and sources and wrote about it. People even name it things like Autistic_Fallout_Guy.jpg because they can't imagine not just shitting out a post and not looking it over to clean it up. It's like passion, dedication, or commitment can't exist anymore, it's all explained away by 'autism'.

>>336543218
When people go beyond the norm which was expected, autism is the term that gets thrown at it. What >>336543004 said applies. The audience in this case never gave a shit, so no matter what the guy did or how much effort he put in, he was always going to be labelled a tryhard.
It's nothing to really fixate on or worry about. The behavior is shit and petty, but we're not here to fix each other's problems anon, probably have more problems of our own to fix before trying to fix others.
tl;dr don't get serious on 4ch
>>336537726
It was a meme literally invented and forced singlehandedly by ManlyTears back in 2009.
>>336540647
>>336543218
I still remember being called an autist for writing long, well-thought-out posts about how to properly use a fighting game character with frame data, replays, all kinds of useful shit. I've even made a Youtube video for them.
What's funny is that was in the game's general on /vg/. What's even funnier is that I'm a tourneyfag and genuinely wanted to help people in the thread.

The guy calls it autistic himself in the first line, and he's putting an enormous amount of effort into something of very little value. You can have passion all you want, but when you're devoting it to writing a massive wall of text to convince people a developer does not understand one of the properties they own on a zimbabwean fingerpuppet forum, it's pretty autistic.
>>336544243
nice /v/ meme, bro
>>336544243
>very little value
it's an entertaining read, and it's informative. He's just calling it "autistic" because he knows somebody else will, because /v/ can't handle reading even a sentence this long.
>>336544243
It used to be called nerdy or geeky but I guess people needed a replacement since those terms no longer hold any meaning.

>>336545223
if you're expecting anything at all you'll probably get bored after building your first house, if you get there. Unless you really like building shit. In which case play creative or get mods or something. I dunno anon, there's a /mcg/ that's better for this
>>336541403
Notch is a fucking hilarious guy, I honestly like him
On that note, why do trannies always have the worst names? Why do they give themselves shitty names?
>>336545536
same line of reasoning as people who name their kids apple or meatcake or something. It sounds cool to them at the time, and chances are their perception of cool is already completely different from yours to begin with.
>>336545536
they weren't creative enough to be interesting in the first place, so they had to get attention by pretending to be unique. their creativity is lacking, like how Bailey Jay went as Harley Quinn for a little while before he realized how retarded it was

>>336554402
There's nothing wrong with meme arrows as long as you actually use it to quote stuff. Not many platforms don't have a quote function, but some still do, so it's really useful when you want to address multiple points.
Making lists or stories with meme arrows is not quoting. It's greentexting as it is. It really gets me when people defend it with "hurr durr newfag, it's just a quoting symbol kek"
