30- gamer thread

I'm 30 years old and I've been seeing 40+ years old threads on the catalog lately.

I just want you faggots to know that if this becomes the norm, I will be in your threads despite being a decade too young. I've been waiting years like a good little cuck to post in these threads and you're no longer gonna gatekeep me out by changing the decade everytime you can pass the walls, so that I remain out of reach forever.

I WILL be in the boomer threads forever now. Deal with it.

The lol, lmao shit is what pisses me off the most.

And "Kino" is just a 4chan meme from out of /tv/, faggot.

i like digital pinball games, kinda want to get a real table but hard to stomach used car prices for one.

>>713752763
Good news is the table, as long as well cared for will keep its value better than a car. Prices still suck though. I want a Getaway table... might be the year I bite the bullet.

>>713752905
for now i am using Pinball FX but there are some open source options.

i play a ton of:
Bride of Pinbot
Medieval Madness
Creature from the Black Lagoon
Black Rose
Star Trek: The Next Generation

>>713753117
i got a few local options near me on marketplace but hard to stomach these prices

World Cup Soccer - $4,250 with issues like missing playfield glass and lockdown bar

Simpsons Pinball Party - $8,300 good condition with upgrades

The Twilight Zone - $12,500 good condition with upgrades from dealer

36-anon. I just can't get into any modern games besides jrpgs. Just find myself playing roms of stuff I never got a chance to play from the PS2 era and back these days.

30+ anon, which was the last games you felt were a truly 10/10?

Uncharted 2
Lumines Electronic Symphony
EDF5

I still love videogames, but its just not the same.

>>713751062 (OP)
Ember Amane was a camwhore

>>713752905
NTA
Ripley's believe it or Not
High Speed
Medieval Madness
Black Knight 3000 (purely for sound)
Theater of Magic

>>713753117
>as long as well cared for
For a pinball table this means paying the price of the table every few years in maintenance so I have no idea how you think they "hold value". You are losing money the second you put them in your house. Far quicker than they are appreciating.

>>713754071
Theater of Magic is pretty fun, digital is probably the way to go for it because of all the mechs, i hear it breaks a lot.

i like Black Knight 2000 a fair bit but it didn't reach my top 5 the anon asked for, never played 3000.

i have played a Stern 2022 Godzilla Premium IRL and i cannot recommend it enough, i played it for 3 hours straight when i found it.

35 is young right...RIGHT

>>713751487
baste

>>713754214
Theater of Magic is I think the 2nd highest maintenance pinball machine so it belongs in a computer where everything just works. The only thing worse is the south park machine iirc.

BK3000 is a favorite purely from nostalgia. I love the music, I love the sounds, the table is not really that fun to play but presentation wise it is 11/10.

The last table I played in person that I really enjoyed was a No Good Gophers table. I think that would also work just fine digital.

>>713754294
not really, i mean I'm 36 and have a 10 year old son starting 5th grade soon.

>>713754183
it's rarely that bad unless you send it out to a shop to do the work, things do break as any mechanical device will but it would reasonably only be $50 here $50 there unless something catastrophic broke, only cascading issues would be if you bought an old game with tons of parts barely holding on, they will all need serviced eventually and it could feel endless but once they are done they should be good for a while.

it's like owning a classic car, it can be as expensive or cheap as you want it to be, but if you are too lazy about it suddenly you got a ruined play field or something that needs major restoration.

>>713754626
No Good Gophers is availible in a Williams Pack on Pinball FX, I've played it a few times, fun table but the other Williams offerings pull me away more like i more recently got the Indiana Jones digital table on a sale.

>>713754801
Well yeah but i'm not a loser who had a kid in his 20s doe

>>713754801
I feel like even moving a table incurs a pretty sizable cost. Maybe I'm just biased but if you have any table from the 90s I feel like you'll end up paying like 20-30 bucks every time a bulb goes out.

>>713754904
at least i got a player 2 for video games now, my wife gets vertigo super easily so she can't play too many games.

>>713755004
hyper complicated tables tend to have a lot of things that go go wrong, a big part of moving is removing anything loose from the table, remove the balls, packets inside the play field ect so nothing can rattle around, then inspect the table before applying power to ensure no shorts, but bulbs shouldn't be that bad to replace, remove lockdown bar, remove glass, lift playfield, and they are pretty accessible for the most part.

of course basic soldering skills helps tremendously as cold soldering joints cause a lot of mystery issues.

>>713755262
>muh bing bing wahoo blogpost

>>713751062 (OP)
Seriously, why are there so many old people here? I always assumed that most of the posters here would be between the ages of 18-21. I'm 19 and if I saw myself posting past the age of 21 I would kill myself, so I can't imagine all these guys in their mid 20s and 30s using this website and feeling okay about it.

Never had a gf or sex.
Feels bad.
Kissed a chick last year though so at least have that.

>>713755690
we were all young once, I've been here since 2007, some of us just never left.

>>713755690
For the same reason most tiktok posters are 19-21. The platform is not for your demographic

>>713755690
Why the fuck would you assume the userbase for a 20 year old side is 18 you fucking dipshit?

>>713755798
Also X, a lot of X users are 18-24. Please go back.

45 here playing stellar blade. Think I'll grab robocop for 5 bucks off the steam sale. And I probably will grab Clair obscura to play next.

>>713751062 (OP)
40 here. Did some weekly bullshit in WoW. Been playing Cyberpunk. Also ERPing with a local AI a lot.

>>713753979
Unironically Clair Obscur, friend. But I don't think 10/10 means perfect. No game is perfect to me. And Clair Obscur definitely suffers from its last act. Before that, I'd go with UFO 50.

>>713755690
"You're here forever" is not a meme. Let's assume for a moment I started browsing 4chan in 2007 when I was 15. If that were the case, I'd be 33 now. I don't see myself leaving 4chan anytime soon, if ever. New blood is gonna keep coming in (and that's a good thing) but the website will inevitably keep leaning older and older. And more deranged, as well.

While waiting for the new mechwarrior merc dlc i play roadcraft, i finished the sunken map today and to be honest the hurricane map looks way more interesting.

How do my fellow 30+ year olds feel about culture war slop? I feel like this kind of "GamerGate 13 years later" shit is the zoomer's and jeet's game, but maybe I'm just out of touch even in my own 4chan demographic. Coomer games are based and more variety in perspectives with no censorship is based, but I really don't mind playing "woke" or woke games. I'm not trying to turn this thread into a flame war so I won't reply to anyone disagreeing with me, just trying to take a pulse of the thread here.

>>713756557
Why are you talking like this?

>>713756557
I also don't care for it but the average culture warrior is someone that grew up with a series and hates how more modern it became, mechanically and culturally, so I don't think you're among friends here

>>713755760

>>713753979
>Expedition 33
>Baldur's Gate 3
>Persona 3 Reload
>Stardew Valley
Are any of these games perfect with no flaws and free from criticism? Absolutely not. But are these games that I've had fun with and sparked some sense of joy in my otherwise miserable life? Yes. So they felt like 10/10s to me.

>>713756864
I should try that. I was waiting for it to come out on PC but then forgot about it. Not a big fan of roguelites but this one might be good enough to make up for it.

I used to spend a decent amount of money on games but I can't justify buying them even on sale when I have to put all my money towards bills/investments. I'm a really cheap fuck

>>713753979

These threads are very depressing, bud. I don't understand the appeal. I'm 41 and only pop in when I've been drinking and want to ruminate about how it all went to hell.

I'm 35 and I've been loving the shit out of Black Ops 6 multiplayer.

>>713757124
I don't mind life venting and blogposting, but ultimately the appeal of these threads for me is that people are usually playing more interesting games than the average /v/irgin.

why the fuck are there so many 30+ year olds in the 30- thread
go away

>>713756557
I don't care about discussions on social politics or government politics. I don't want to argue about it on the internet. I find people who do to be the most tiresome losers I can imagine.

>>713757331
Joke's on you, I just assumed it said "30+" and I am posting without my glasses. This thread belongs to us boomers now.

A mixed bag.

I picked up Nioh 2, and I'm having fun with it. Nioh is way harder than I remember it being. Can't decide on a weapon pair I want to stick to, so far I'm kind of bored with the tonfa and axe combo I'm running. Any recommendations?

Blue Prince was a 10/10 for me

>>713753979
Deus Ex, Pikmin and Sekiro are the only truly 10/10 games that exist. That's a fact.

>>713751602
why did you feel the need to post this? Actually sad, man

>>713761173
but what about meet n fuck kingdom

>>713761173
Sekiro loses a couple points for me and is a 8/10 due to the difficulty curve not being very consistent, it randomly spikes to the moon and then is significantly easier for a while before spiking again.

i personally dropped the game on the 2nd Owl fight where your in the room Madam Butterfly was in except it is on fire.

>>713761173

Still the game is lenient for all its bullshit giving it to you at 99 with one stage left and 2 missing bandages. stage I beat 3 hours later and only one missing bandage, god I hate the Nix stage.

You do realize a lot of here have been so since the beginning? We've seen the site grown and change over time. Why would you think we would stop coming to a place we like?

I remember when I was a teen I couldn't wait to be 30+ because you'd have money and free time and it seemed like most nerd back then were 30+

Now I feel like most nerds are in their early 20s and most people our age are either married with kids or NEET status.

The whole "get rich and women will fall for you" meme got patched out with our generation, but at least we have money to do what we want.

Define "rich enough".

Like I'm sure if you live in Miami or LA and are friends with dudes that drive lambos and have yachts youll get some random floozies.

If you live in the midwest and only make 100-150k a year you won't really get any better type of woman than you'd get if you were making 60K a year.

"Hey Faggots,
My name is John, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass pictures. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it's fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on facebook.
Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I was captain of the football team, and starter on my basketball team. What sports do you play, other than "jack off to naked drawn Japanese people"? I also get straight A's, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash).

in your head, you think by 21 you're going to be a doctor or a scientist or an accountant or some shit. this isn't true and is less true than it has ever been. you will be unemployed or working flipping burgers or cleaning bedsheets. posting here will be your happy escape from the reality of an adult life. eventually they will automate whatever scrap of a job you find and you'll be done forever. they will probably kill you and everyone else.

There's a lot of differences. 4chan used to be a lot like 2010s Tumblr and 2015s Reddit. It was stupid as fuck, silly humor. If you go look back at old archives you'd cringe at it now. Because back then the demographic was much different.

The internet wasn't mainstream, and 4chan was a super sekrit club that was dangerous and scary. But if you knew about it you knew it was really like 30% fucked up weirdos posting gore and weird shit, and 70% lonely antisocial losers who wanted to go to a place online where they could express themselves and goof around without fear of repercussion, or worrying about tedious moderation. Newfags nowadays claim pedos and unironic racists were always on 4chan. Which is true, but to a MUCH lesser degree. Everybody else just memed about it. Back then everyone was a nigger, not just blacks.

4chan also used to be SO much more creative, it's actually sad. This place shit out memes like crazy. Threads encouraged lots of effort posting and engagement, and the entire culture was like the Wild West. Mods publicly banned people for absolute nonsense if it was funny. You'd get 300+ reply threads were every single post was an OC drawing done in that thread.
/b/ used to be ACTUALLY random, not 90% porn.

Everyone says 4chan always sucked but that's either just newfags seething about missing out or people who spent time on shit boards.

Modern 4chan is literally just social media for losers, and not the fun or interesting kind of losers

This is also the case for non-multiplayer games. If a game is over a month old it feels like you’re playing in an abandoned liminal space, it’s fucking creepy man. Even online games with no voice chat are fucking bleak. If you can’t either have a /vg/ thread open to shitpost on, or other bros in game, then it’s not worth it. I’m hearing more people tak about retro gaming, which is cute, I went back in 2015-2017 and played all the retro shit I ever wanted, and it was bleak and depressing, most of it doesn’t hold up, feels moldy and old.

>zoomer adults are still afraid of being molested by men online
You’re an absolute faggot generation, we used to catfish men online, you can’t even groom a 20+ year old, it’s called flirting you actual faggot.

I like to play my ancient games on repeat, like TF2 and my childhood favorite DOOM, some Super Mario 64 and some new recent games like Sunshine.
Pic related, those were my toys as a kid.

>>713765519
I don't agree with that. I don't mind playing years or even decade old single player games. Played Planescape Torment for the first time recently and it was pure SOVL.

I'm turning 31 this year. Pretty sure I'm gonna die soon, doctors can't figure out what's wrong with me but I know my life is probably gonna be a lot shorter than normal just like my dad's. Not sure if I care about life passing me by and being a loser anymore, seems all like a big race for nothing. Wish I did a lot of things different but it's hard to suddenly change bad habits.

>>713764713
They’re turning it shit on purpose.

The big thing is that 4chan was not “normies” but also hated “faggots” and “freaks” like furries, or faggots, or scientologists, 4chan was for weirdos who were too cool for normies.

The creativity crash is huge and very apparent. Zoomers don’t do anything cool, 10 years ago I did some cool shit, everyone here did, 4chan did some cool shit. Now zoomers don’t do anything for other anons to appreciate, they don’t even do no-effort shit.

The fucked up thing is the average zoomer is now like a charicature of what 4chan used to be. Zoomers are freaks, degenerate gamers, yet not cool like. 4chan was. Major L zoomfags, be better.

Cast some fireballs, Anon.

i've made it 33 years without playing an atlus game, which series should i start with? they're all turn-based, yeah?

I haven't made progress at my job for a full week now. I used to be able to pick up the work laptop, put myself in a room away from the gaming PC and get shit done. That's not working anymore. I'm a fucking failure of a human bean.

>>713765993
Try SMT Strange Journey

>>713765582
See that’s a game that I’d agree would be good to go back to, but it’s because it’s meant to be a vast solo experience and even comparing it to a modern equivalent, BG3, it holds up. But that’s not the case for a lot of old games.

Half agree on retro games being shit. Some are, some aren't. I've been getting into arcade games and some of them I absolutely love. Outrun is great, Mario Bros. is a lot of fun with a buddy, Donkey Kong is pretty great. These games are good choices for a quick 15-20 minute session.

Don't be so harsh on the tard gens, most of them saw some of their close friends geting gaslighted by literal fucking faggots into trooning out all the way in kindergarten, it's really not suprising any attempt at romance is by default seen as grooming by them.

been here since 2008, got me motivated to work on games. Landed quite a few gigs over the years with big names. I'm lucky but I've also worked on maybe one of the most controversial games in years.
Rather conflicted as the culture war cost me my job but honestly the whole western game dev scene got infested with money hungry fools. I work with some old Xcom devs now.

>>713766827
Etrian is great, not modern-day like SMT it's more fantasy medieval world.

Just finished my yearly playthrough of AMK and I'm giving GAMMA a go since Ive only ever done vanilla and AMK.
One thing I don't like is how imbalanced it is. People cite that the gun autism isn't fun and it's too hard, but you get so much fucking money you can get a good gun within 30 mins because the jobs just give you between 7 and 25,000.
And food is also extremely cheap.

>>713767329
Gonna be direct here, Expedition 33 was not that good to me. Its an 8/10 that would have blended well into the 2010's era.
My main gripe is that the game was fun for about 50% of the game. The second half was a slog: combat flattened out with the hit damage cap, the story takes a nose dive, the battle music gets old, and the exploration is either an annoying hunt for skins or boring passive points.
I feel the game is propped up by the hype crowd, the kids have never played a better rpg and it shows.

Here’s what they do

>3 friends who went to college
>1 moved away and turned gay, is a dental assistant, is broke and spends money out at bars
>1 can’t find a job, hangs out with other friends smoking weed all day
>1 works for his parents, smokes weed with the others when he can, used to get chicks but doesn’t anymore

They all got into legal trouble also, drunk driving and other shit, once you’re over 19 it’s not cute being out on the town getting fucked up and doing drugs. Gaming is actually a responsible hobby that saves you a shit ton of money. Literally just buy CoD and you’re good for a year, even if you buy 2 20 dollar skins that’s 100 bucks for a year, gambling and drinking will fuck you hrdwr than that.

Also every girl I’ve met loves that I’m a gamer, especially if they work, all they wanna do is sit on the couch for the weekend and either game with me or watch their gay tv show while I game next to them, it’s comfy as fuck. One friend had a gf who always wanted to go to concerts or clubs, and it was hell for him. Get a gamer gf or make her knit you shit while you game. This is even relevant for having a wife, when your kids are 1-7 years old they’re just a burden and you can spend time at home with them and escape to game for a while, instead of going to a bar or some shit and leaving your wife at home. Some of the best memories are me and my gf playing CoD or Elden Ring together on the weekends.

My ps5 and pc have been unplugged for 8 months, I mostly watch YouTube on my switch now. Gonna plug them in again soon cuz I gotta start working. It’s actually amazing how dead YouTube is, even in its shitty state it’s pretty good, but nothing feels like it’s “happening” or “the thing”, nothing is cool or popular right now, even the Pokémon boom which I’m happy about seems lame and gay. WoW was almost cool again for a few months, but that’s over.

kek but not surprised this is happening. Many of us never properly grew up. There is also many normalfaggots that did "grow up" got a wife and kids but still never really wanted to stop gaming. If they did they at least still like to discuss it.

If the world wasn't so shit and there was actually decent females out there for marriage prospects maybe I could have left this shithole for good. Until then though I see no point. Gaming is one of few things that brings me any real happiness in this life so why ever quit? I play favorite games I still enjoy even to this day. The old fucks from back when I was a kid always would say ah those darn kids will outgrow it or find wives eventually. Little did these shits know.

I'm still in love with the same girl I fell in love with when I was 10. The thing is I changed and she never did. That doesn't make my love less strong.

Some edgy kid in middle school revealed his power level and I wanted to know what he was on about. Googled his material, ended up on ED and that brought me here

It's because creativity died with millenials. Zoomers and the culture as a whole now are too scared to be genuine or weird and everything, literally everything, is about money. Used to be people would do stuff because they enjoyed it or had an idea, now everyone wants to make a buck off of anything they do. It's the age of AI. It's the age of unoriginality and copying off your superiors.

>>713753979
Truly 10/10?
Astlibra.

>>713755690
why dont you leave for reddit right now?

>>713756557
I torment gamedevs on social media and grow more racist every day.
I thought there was a cap to it but the sky is the limit.

>>713755690
theres nowhere else to go. when 4chan went down i basically didn't use the net

Terrible brainfog, and I'm not sure what it is

>>713781960
change diet.
become more active. get some sunlight in. it sucks but it makes a difference.
also get proper sleep.

>>713751487
Anon finally becomes an adult and takes control of his life. Congrats.
You were always welcome there.

Why are zoomers so mad all the time?

>>713782202
They have no power or influence or prospects. I'd be angry too. At least we had some hope.

>>713782274
Fuck off Obama

>>713752454
I unironically like the lingo and always laugh when I see it poppin like >>713766668

>>713782202
They are just finishing up their bachelor's degrees and entering the real workforce. They are now coming to understand how badly they've been fucked over. It's worse than millennials had it during the dot com bust and 2008. You could still find jobs back then. Now... It's thunderdome out there.

>>713782202
They have every right to be.

>>713779512
I used to post of a few forums. When those forums shut down I ventured out to find a new shitposting home. I remember visiting 4chan a couple times early on and not taking to it as it was very different to the username and signature kind of forum I was used to.

>>713782274
>They have no power or influence or prospects
Good

god I love McDonalds I would eat it every day if there weren't any consequence my order is a follows: 1 deluxe quarter pounder, 1 basket of fries, and 1 small m&m McFlurry.

>>713782779
love the deluxe quarter pounder, but not a fan of the m&m mcflurry. i prefer the oreo one but those fuckers either dont mix it or they have barely any oreos in it.

>>713751487
FUCKING MODS

>>713779512
I think someone mentioned 4chan on reddit, so I went to check it out.

29 khv here. how do i get a date
do i just kill myself or?
i am very tired from life
but seriously is it true that you will always feel internally younger than your physical age?

>>713751062 (OP)
Are there even zoomers on 4chan?

>>713782831
I watched a video of people working at McDonalds I think I know why they don't mix it well, it's because it sprays the fucking ice cream all over them.

>>713782912
Dude I still feel like 19yo in my mind.

>>713751487
Isn’t 30+ like the normal age for us who grew up at the advent of high-speed internet use?

>>713782912
>how do i get a date
Rp with ai until you become so crafty with words that you can make their panties wet even before the two of you meet

>>713756557
I like my gamer service in my games, so most woke slop is off the table because they make the virtual women ugly as fuck. I enjoy the extra dopamine hit from seeing a hot bitch in my vidya.

>>713782912
Haven't felt like I've matured ar Al in 27 years
t.42

>>713779512
I wandered over here from Facepunch in 2012. I stayed here because certain "personalities" on that forum were insanely obnoxious. At least here you can call such people faggots and niggers while you suggest suicide.

>>713779512
I don't remember. I just remember I already posted in it when Fallout 3 released.

>>713783532
everything that piece of shit website was good for is thankfully normalized all over the internet now. they were always holier then thou about asset retrieval for games and anything that wasn't jerking off military sim shit was cringe to them. bunch of fucking retarded parasites

>>713782912
The only reason I feel any sense of maturity is because I'm a home owner. Other than that I feel no different compared to the day I finished high school.

>>713782202
environment shapes any organism, and their environment is largely the brainrotting social media.

>>713756557
Culture warriors only care for AAAslop, I don't recognize their existence. Simple as.

>>713783821
>>713783508
Huh, good to know I'm not alone. Have you guys ever done any caretaking or handling death before? I had that in the past couple of months and I feel really weary these days.

>>713784293
shit sucks.

>>713782912
>but seriously is it true that you will always feel internally younger than your physical age?
I'm 35, almost 36. I have two kids, I've been in the workforce for about 20 years and I own a home. I feel about 16-19 mentally, depending on the day.

>>713782202
Vegetarians, but also genuinely grown on hate culture. It's fashionable to literally hate every other sexuality besides your own nowadays ffs. It extends to a lot smaller things.

>>713752454
Most of it is niggerspeak and that is why I hate it. Nothing that comes from niggers is good

>>713784538
It's social media algorithms, and the fact that they have are jacked into those platforms from their formative years to now. If they would just unplug from that garbage their minds would heal.

>>713784293
Yeah it's terrible. Just keep chugging. It's about all you can do. Or an hero I guess.

>>713783949
I wish. They shit up indie game threads too.

>tradie job completely hogs all of my time and energy
>Brother and cousins left my hometown so I'm the only "young" man around to help aging grandma and aunts
>Only way for me to socialise with pleasant company is by getting into wargames but that eats a ton of time too
>Have a ton of games I wish I was clearing but I only have the energy and time to play Battle Brothers because I can play that game on auto pilot through heuristics for an hour or so
I'm starting to understand people who take a day off to play vidya, I wouldn't really do that since I'd feel "guilty" or whatever, but I do understand.

>>713756557
Absolum was the best game in the latest NextFest, the steam discussions are packed with REEE WOKE, Menace is looking sick, any /vst/ discussion on it will be sperg outs over it having a black woman, Anno 1800 is the best mix of city builder and logistics sim, people constantly sperg out about the black scholars. I do understand "woke fatigue", especially from a corporate product, but I am pretty tired of the discourse invading every corner I use to talk about shit. I just want to play what looks neat, I have ignored viking themed games because they feature a "diverse" cast, but I also feel zero need to complain about it, I just move on.

>>713751487
we didn't want you around when we made 25+ threads. we won't want you around in 40+ threads either.

>>713785282
Too bad, faggot. I've done my time. You have gatekept me for long enough. No more.

>>713785232
I learned about Absolum from the Next Fest threads despite not playing any of those demos. Looks really neat.

As for Menace, I'm a bit worried. Not cause of wokeness or anything retarded like that, but I'm not sure they're gonna be able to recreate the storytelling aspect of Battle Brothers. Feels like a step backwards if they go from that to a XCom ripoff.

>>713785232
Have you tried some exercise or t or even just some monster? A morning routine really helped me with energy throughout the day, bizarrely enough.

What's woke about absolum???

>>713778632
>Lmao and lol are ours, man
Not the words, the "lol, lmao even" shit. That's literally straight out of some leftist tweet. And it's annoying.

Slaps is also most certainly not ours lol. Neither is bops or banger.

>>713785656
That's been around since like 07 dude. People were saying that shit in the burning crusade.
