>"competitive gaming"
Is there anything more autistic than this?
Speedrunning
>>345215510
Overwatch
>>345215510
but games do have a competitive edge to them
e-sports seems to net players tons of cash money anyway
more than you'll ever earn
hahaha...
ha...
ha...
Speedrunning
>>345215510
Humans have competed against each other since we walked on two legs
You question to very nature of our species to prove we are better than others?
The electronic age is coming in force. eventually we will have no need for the muscles the gladiators had and mental power is the only thing that determines a successful person.
You are the autistic one anon. You question progress.

A thousand times this.

Well, since you provided this thread so readily...
Oh, and you as well, most likely.

>mfw i go to my local arcade for fighting game tournaments and make new friends
stick to anime, nerd. you don't deserve happiness.
>>345215510
Competitive sports. It's the same thing except it's somehow considered not just good but the absolute best thing one could invest his whole life in.
Anime. I can understand reading manga, but anime is so fucking bad, it shouldn't even be called the loose ass term "art". CB is decent, but fuck, most animes got production value of a dogshit.
Yes it's called anime.
>>345216756
>Your body is in the best shape of its life and you must physically train constantly
vs
>Sitting on your ass all day and moving your thumbs occasionally
Yeah, I wonder why one is considered the best and the other shit.
>>345215510
Being a weeaboo. I mean, some "gamers" can be autistic and annoying, but a weeaboo makes you feel embarrassed to be near one.

Going to grad school
>>345216916
There is no difference anon.
You are competing against someone to prove you are better.
One just being more physical means shit.
Next you'll say snooker/pool or darts can't be competitive
>>345217081
>There is no difference
Sure thing fatty
It's like people dont even know what the word means any more.
Look, most people who are "competitive" gamers are laughable, but it's also hard to ignore the idea entirely when someone's going to win 50k from being good at a fighting game this weekend
>>345216916
An athlete won't ever achieve anything more worthwhile than any random gamer and yet the former is good while the latter is not (unless you consider becoming a glorified circus animal worthwhile, that's it).
>>345215510
Spending time arguing fruitlessly with fruits on a banana trading forum.
>>345217212
Keep being delusional son.
Maybe later you'll come up with a better argument.
>>345216916
nothing of value comes from athleticism other than being a stupid meatheaded nigger, Esports is master race
>>345217443
I'm willing to bet you wear glasses.
>>345217528
What's wrong with wearing glasses?
>>345217528
not that guy, but who on /v/ doesn't wear glasses?
Playing vidya for 10+ hours a day pretty much guarantees that you'll be wearing a pair
>>345217318
>Won't ever achieve
Some of the most famous people in recent history are athletes. Esports faggots are barely even known in their own community. Ask a person who plays vidya who an esports person is and they'd probably know who pewdiepie is first. These people are less important than youtubers.
>>345217371
I don't need to. There is no comparison between somebody whose body is at the highest physical condition and someone whose body is usually at the lowest physical condition.
>>345215656
came here to say the same
>>345217528
You don't have to be a braindead athlete who spends his whole life throwing sticks and trying to prove he's better at kicking balls than anybody else to be fit.
>>345215510
You're right. Being good at a videogame is terribly autistic and should never be attempted.
The right way to play a game with PvP is to be a shitter, curse the birth of whoever beat you, and then complain about it online.I always felt like /v/ is where all the low-ladder trolls for these games come from
>>345217686
>Some of the most famous people in recent history are athletes
Kim Kardashian is also famous, so not an argument.
>>345215510
weebs / ppl who buy animu games / buy consoles to play animu games
those are actually worse than competitive gamers

Famous for what? Being athletes. That's exactly the problem in cases you missed that.
>>345216916

You do know that chess is a fucking olympic sport, right?
>>345215510
actually watching competitive gaming
>>345215510
Games communities, speedrunners, streamers, e-celebs, sjws, anti-sjws, feminism, anti-feminists, e-sports, cosplayers, mmos, etc. The list goes on and on, I try to stick with single player and shut my internet connection. I only go here to get more gaming news and stuff but I might as well read those paid journalists.
>>345215510
Speedrunning and shitposting niggers.
>>345217824
And so is Britney Spears. Your point? Esports are irrelevant in the grand scheme of humanity.
>>345217792
>Braindead
Reminder, Shaq went back to college and earned his Doctorate. Reminder, many athletes are college educated along with being the peak of physical fitness. Stay mad.
>>345218036
>Here's one example that is the exception, therefore I proved you wrong!
Reminder, chess requires more intellect, planning and foresight than any video game in existence.
>>345215510
Not really.
>playing video game
>one guy is upset that the entire team is not literally bending over, sucking his dick, and making sure he gets his CompetionTokens this match and doing exactly as he says as he barks orders into the mic

>>345218194
Well yeah whatever, take the "braindead" part away if it triggers you so much. Still doesn't change the fact they're not contributing anything more to society than your average gamer.

Your point? Humanity is irrelevant in the grand scheme of the universe
>>345218561
that guy is actually sick tho
>>345218194
>Reminder, chess requires more intellect, planning and foresight than any video game in existence.
It really does, but in the same way different sports require different sets of skills, chess and esports requires different sets of skills.
>>345215510
spoken like a true casual
>>345215510
Quake pros are less autistic than you and get more pussy than you.
>>345218393
That's dumb.
Welike videogames, right? Speedrunning takes dedication, skill and oerall obsession to masterfully complete a gamein the shortest time possible, it is the very definition of love for videogames.
>>345218561
It's questionable to make fun of plague victims.

What anime is this and why it keeps getting posted with bait statements?
>>345217668
I'm an exception, I guess. Right eye is somewhat blurry, and 2 black holes under the eyes, but I refuse to wear glasses.

I only wear them at work.

It's because of lack of Vitamin D, you moron
if you're playing vidya all day you're not getting any fucking sunlight

Dedication is a given but it's more impressive by default rather than by any actual merit. A man sticking his finger up his nose for 10 years is impressive by the dedication aspect but I'm not really impressed and I'm not going to pat him on the back. It's just sort of

I always thought speedrunning was fucking dumb. Why would I care how fast someone can beat a game by glitching the shit out of it? I care about the record for how fast someone can beat a game for real.
>>345217915
Always hated it. I'm just glad the fad is fading so other people seem to be sick and tired of it too.
>>345215510
Just wait until we have reaction videos to speedruns.

There are plenty of glitchless speedruns.
>>345221076
not all speedruns are oot
>>345221218
But this time it actually is, it's two sides of the same coin, on one end you have speedrunning and the other the literal opposite, 100%ing the game. The latter makes more sense but both are absolutely worthless.
>>345221076
there were a significant number of glitchless runs at the latest SGDQ, you should stick to that category.
