/v/ do you hide your powerlevel in public (like at work, college etc..)? Everybody at my job tells me I'm so cool, laidback and funny but deep down I'm a fucking weeb. JRPGs are my favorite genre of games. I love anime and I listen to K-Pop and J-Pop. Most of friends and family don't even know this side of me because I fear they will think I'm weird as fuck.
Do you hide your powerlevels or do you just not give a fuck anymore?
Same except i like mlp and partake in console wars shitposting falseflaggin
>>337736541
Yeah, I hide my power level and make fun of some of my friends for showing it. But secretly, I'm a waifufag that loves to sperg about games/movies/shows/books I love. I kinda have to hide it cause most of my buddies are normies too.
I don't, but by /v/ standards I'm a normie.
Those are some of the more normie things you can like. Most people like jrpg and anime. I wouldn't be screaming about the things you like but if you overhear co workers talking about something you enjoy don't just cower in the corner.
No. There's no one to hide my powerlevel from because I have no real friends.

>make fun of some of my friends for showing it
oy
>>337736541
I do, and nowadays I have no one to play with, most friends are offline, so I kind of regret it a bit.
>>337736541
if you're cool then it doesn't matter how high your powerlevel is. it just makes you more interesting to normies
>>337736861
All of this board is filled with fucking normalfags, what do you believe?
>>337736904
>Most people like jrpg and anime
Only JRPG normies like is Final Fantasy and the only anime is Dragon Ball Z. You can talk about DBZ and FF with normies. Mention anything else and you're the fucking weirdo
>Kpop and Jpop
what a pleb, only Jpop is good.
Kpop is for degenerates and also huge with normies.
>the only anime I've seen is Madoka and FMA: Brotherhood
I don't know if i'm really missing out but ah well.
>>337736541
Although I play games a lot I tend to not talk about it if someone is as passionate about it as I am. Most of the time they'll talk about normie shit like GTA online or Fifa, so it doesn't concern me. If someone asks though I don't mind
>>337737703
KILL YOURSELF
>>337737703
At least watch some good stuff like Bebop or Evangelion.
>>337736541
>powerlevels
This is a thing made up by /r9k/ autists, if you care what people think of you then just just kill yourself
>>337736861
If you use the word normie unironically then yes you are a normalfag
>>337737921
I'm lying I guess, I've seen a few episodes of bebop, might watch again, never could get into Evangelion, though that might be because my introduction to that series was EOE so maybe it was just overwhelming.
>Play weeb shit and watch anime with my weeaboo friends
>Can also smoke weed and drink alcohol with my normie friends
Who best of both worlds master race?
You are so fucking stupid
Hide that shit as long as you can. All of you.
>>337738118
>though that might be because my introduction to that series was EOE so maybe it was just overwhelming.
I've seen so many people commit this error.
EoE is great, but if you didn't watch the TV series is useless, it's like only reading the final chapter of a book.
Watch the original TV series, then EoE. Don't watch the Rebuild movies before you watch TV and EoE again.
>>337736541
What's a powerlevel?
>You look like the gamer type
>"Anon you look tired. Were you up all night playing video games?"
I fucking hate my co-workers
>>337738163
>His weeaboo friends don't do drugs
Change your weeb friends, sempai.
No. You don't hide your power level. Instead you appreciate that the things that is your power level, is something you let others stumble on to, and then you gauge how much fun you can have with it.
>>337738443
were you?
>>337736541
>Anyone seriously ashamed of hiding their 'power level'
Everyone ashamed of doing it just stop. Fucking stop being ashamed. It's not weird. It's not because of shame. It's basic fucking human politeness to not yammer on about your hobby to people who aren't interested. It doesn't matter if you are a weeb or in to NASCAR. No one except others interested want to hear you talk about it at length.
It's just rude. Finding some common ground to talk about is normal.
>>337738423
Something redditors that come here now came up with.
My wife is more weeby than me. I like japanese games (except for shovelware panty quests) and I read manga, but she goes all-in. She can speak the language though so I guess she's more otaku than weeb by now.
It's great though, I can act however I want without risk of dying alone, and she's attractive enough for the average person to not question her.
>>337738443
>You look like the gamer type
What does a gamer type look like?
>>337736541
I work on a golf course and I found out that a PGA pro in his mid 30s is a huge Chrono trigger fan. Wants to buy an SNES just to play it again.
>>337736541
I work on a golf course and I found out that a PGA pro in his mid 30s is a huge Chrono trigger fan. Wants to buy an SNES just to play it again.
on the other end is a golf pro in his 60s who played in a music band who has no idea what chiptine was. I went to a Zelda concert and he was dumb founded.
>>337738596
No. I have anxiety and depression and sometimes it cause me not to be able to sleep at night because I overthink every little thing. Apparently, according to my co-workers, I "look like the gamer type" and so whenever I come into work exhausted they assume I was up all night playing vidya games. Fuck them
>>337738796
I have no fucking clue. Me apparently. But I dress like a normal fag at work so I don't know where these bitches are getting this shit from
>>337738163
But you're a normie
Kill yourself
>>337736541
I play my 3DS XL in public.
I don't really care what other folks think because I'm 27 and have long realized that that shit doesn't matter.
I hide my powerlevel on /v/.
Look at the frontpage, /v/ is full of normalfags and repeat threads about shit like Overwatch, Souls games, Neptunia etc.
Rarely I see an interesting thread here. I don't even know why I come anymore.
>>337739826
Fuck off.
>>337739642
>Neptunia
Nobody with a sliver of decency likes Neptunia.
If you're either
>attractive
>oozing confidence
>likeable
you can reveal your power level without coming underfire (unless its hyper degenrate shit like furfaggotry)
especially in CURRENT YEAR where its become trendy to be a 'geek'
>>337740007
So? On /v/ it's like the most normalfag shit.
Anybody else have a black gaming bro? Black people are fucking great to play vidya with. They are hilarious. It's like they get so into the game
I'm a degenerate loser and all my friends have moved on with their lives.
I have nothing to lose.
>>337738638
I've always been trying to say this, it's just common sense to avoid dwelling on topics that don't interest the other people that you are talking with.
>>337740168
I can't imagine a pedophile being well-adjusted to society is all.
>>337740207
I stayed in Little Rock one summer and had some great black weeb friends there. Their main public library had a "Teen Floor" with a bunch of consoles and tons of vidya you could play on beanbag chairs. I'd go there 3 times a week and play Naruto fightan games and Smash with them.I miss having friends so much holy shit
Are you more or less fucked if you haven't made any friends by the end of 2nd year of uni?
>>337740578
No. Join an anime/vidya club. It'll mostly be human filth, but you'll find non-spergy people there too.
>>337740207
Black people are great to play fighting games with
>>337740578
Depends on what you're studying, you'll make more friends on Psychology than Electrical Engineering.
>>337736541
I've think people really respond to someone being genuinely excited or passionate about something, even video games
Showing enthusiasm for something they love (as opposed to sperging out or ranting about something you hate) is actually pretty attractive even if its video games or something.
>>337740578
No, but ultimately it doesn't matter. Go to a club, but realize you probably won't stay in contact with 90% of the people after you leave uni.
>>337740207
I have trouble understanding them and their jittery movements make me uncomfortable.
I'd rather have a britbong friend to make some witty remarks instead
>>337740578
>making friends at Uni
make connections, not friends
you won't ever talk to anyone from Uni again, but you will have them as professional connections that can get you inside leads on jobs
that's all they're good for
>>337738743
Brian?
>>337736541
I generally don't mention anime or niche games in normal public places because I have other hobbies to talk about and normies probably haven't heard of what I've watched or played. Once I know a person a bit more, then I could start talking about that gook shit.
Unless it's a convention, then I can sorta act like how I do on 4chin.
I don't hide it, I just don't talk about it unless someone asks or is also into it.
Most people know that I'm a lazy shit who plays video games all day, but no one seems to care. Occasionally a girl at my work will say shit to the effect of, "maybe if you stopped playing video games all the time girls would like you." But it's all just a bit of bants.
>>337740578
You are probably over thinking it and being very fatalistic about it.
I had a buddy who used to struggle with that in college. Do the following:
Join a club.
Have a drink (don't over do it).
Listen in conversation. Don't spend the time they're talking thinking about what you're going to say because you want to have something to say. Actually listen to them.
I believe in you. Seriously.
>>337736541
>"What video games do you play, anon?"
>having to hide it in the first place
Do you fucking vomit your taste and opinions on every classmate or co-worker?
>>337740578
I didn't make any friends at uni until my 5th year.
>>337736541
>ignore all the normies at my job
>exclusively associate with weebs and neckbeards
>people know I'm a fucking loser but can do nothing except accept it
Gas all normalfags
>>337741564
If someone actually asks that from you, then there's nothing to be ashamed of.
I hide my power level because once it's revealed the most annoying people latch onto me and start trying to make dumbass inside jokes I think I should get. Then they start outing me in front of a wider audience and making the whole thing worse until I'm surrounded by annoying fucks talking about the one thing they can relate to forever.
>>337738163
>Doing weed for "fun"
I hope you find fun all those dormant cosmic demons you've invited inside your head anon.
>>337741709
>Gas all normalfags
>Society shuts down
>No tendies
Stupid frogposter
>>337741564
I honestly like all types of games ranging from weeaboo visual novels and anime shoot-'em ups to military first person shooters, but if some fucking normie asks me this question I will limit my answer to "uhhh computer games".
>>337736541
I do. I live in south america, your average spic is mediocre at games, I only talk about single player games with them because I'd rather to not bring leeches with me on multiplayer games.Unless I'm smurfing..
On a side note, I never join conversations about videogames, but if they direclty ask me about games I'll reply carefully.
>>337737703
>the only anime I ever watched is Initial D
>>337741564
All you have to say is Grand Theft Auto. GTA is the most normal fag video game series ever made
>>337741709
>normies
>facebookfrog.jpg
So you're willing to be gassed?
>>337741709
>gassing yourself
How weeb am I if the Japanese games I like tend to be stuff like the old Silent Hill games, NieR, and Shin Megami Tensei? I don't mind "cute girls doing cute things" stuff, but I feel that Japanese media is way better when it has darker and more bleak tones to it.
>be on date with grill
>on line buying movie tickets
>neckbeards talking about MGSV and how it compares to the others
>want to jump in with my hot opinions
>don't want to out myself in front of qt grill
>>337738347
>Don't watch the Rebuild movies before you watch TV and EoE again
What do you mean by this? I'm currently watching Evangelion, and after I finish i plan to watch EoE and then the Rebuild movies. Is this alright?
>>337742194
Florida?
>>337742194
You'd be discussing a movie in line for tickets to a movie.
I don't see the problem.
My friends think I'm an a nice guy.
They know nothing...
>>337742173
Assuming you mean mainline SMT, not Persona, you're not a weeb. Just good taste in japanese games.
>>337742208
thats fine
but it might be worth it to rewatch for a better understanding before you watch rebuild because it goes pants on head real quick
>>337742194
>tfw I wouldn't talk to them in that situation just because I talk to strangers as little as possible
>>337736541
I don't need to hide my powerlevel in public because I'm a transcendent hikiNEET with no acquaintances. I only leave home to buy food or vidya and to get my mail desu.
>>337742173
>guys I like japanese things how weeb am I
forget how weeb you are, let's discuss what an insecure faggot you are
>>337742274
nope, NY

I have one, or had. He was the broest of all the mutherfucking bros, literally pillar of our community. I wish he was sightly better at some videogamesthinking again about this its for the good
>>337736541
>Everybody at my job tells me I'm so cool, laidback and funny
If EVERYONE is saying that I assure you there is something wrong with you. They're liars.
>>337742394
The only SMT games I've played are mainline and DDS.
>>337742484
I was just curious, because the definition of "weeb" gets changed a lot around here, swinging wildly from "Complete obsessive who curses his non-Japanese heritage", to "Guy who played a Japanese game once and thought it was OK"
>>337736541
I don't try to hide it at all
it's a hobby as good as any other
if they have a stick up their asses because of it it's their problem, not mine
>>337742173
>when you think about SMT at work and just want to go home and punch demons
>>337742446
thats usually how I am too but it was MGS and those neckbeards seemed pretty chill
that has always been my dilema, I'm a loser at heart but I can pass as a normie
I always had the loseriest friends and was the 'leader' of them and all was peaceful but then I ditched them for the cool kids but I was tense and quiet because they were assholes
I wish I just embraced my loserness
>>337736541
Anon, the trick is not to being a total sperg about it.
It's something you enjoy, you don't need to be parading it everywhere every waking hour.

God I had the same thing dealing with my normie friends about Kingdom Hearts
>It's been 10 years since Kingdom Hearts 2 came out, where the fuck is Kingdom Hearts 3?!
>Me: You do know there have been a few new KH games they have been out since then and are important to the plot
>Anon, those games don't matter! If it doesn't have a number in the title then it's not important!
>Me: But you're going to be confused when KH 3 comes out because you didn't play the other games that came out after KH 2

I wanted to fucking stab them that night

Is it normie friendly? I've started watching/reading it and I'm trying to get my friends on the bandwagon. All I know is that the first two stages are great.
>>337744392

Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away my friend!

Are you saying Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance aren't important to the plot? Because BBS is KH 0 and DDD is KH 2.5
>>337745127
Are you saying KH even has a plot
Ahahaha
Just get a normie hobby and talk about that, keep your autism on /v/
My only dream is to have a friend I could reveal my true power level with and that they're the same. Is it as great as it seems?

>>337736541
Recently a girl asked me what my favorite video game and I replied with "what makes you think I play viseogames?"
I don't really hide it from family anymore, but I'm not overt about it. My mom got me this for christmas.
I still hide it from people at work and school though.
>>337736541
There's a dude at my office that once brought a Mirai Niki notebook. I called him a fag for it, but in reality I'm a massive weab and I watch about 20 series every season, have a waifu, only to fap to doujins/hentai, etc.
