Is there a gaming equivalent of this?

yakuza going to pc
or in a broader sense, the fifth generation

>Call of Duty goes mainstream with CoD4: Modern Warfare

xbox live

Was gaming not already mainstream, though? I remember Madden tournaments in malls back in the early 2000s.

Esports cringe
Soul franchise

lol no, you're part of the problem

Gaming was but for awhile the internet wasn't. Believe me, very few people in the 2000's had PC's or understood how they worked or even wanted to own one. Smartphones equalized things by giving people little, portable computers that they can carry on their person 24/7. If the smartphone was never invented it would've done away with so many headaches.

Posts like these were embarrassing then and are even more so now. Why would women care for the attention of some asocial schizoid? Everyone just wants to do their hobby and live their life.

>>713778330
Nice try, attention whore. Women love swooping in on untapped male markets to farm attention

>>713778662
>untapped male markets
...of fat autistic gamers? They have access to far more socially well adjusted circles for that.

>Why would women care for the attention of some asocial schizoid?
You ever heard of Onlyfans?

>>713778778
Yes? Why do you think they swarmed video game, tech, and anime conventions?

>>713778847
But that's not seeking validation, it's scamming retards out of money.

>>713778330
>Why would women care for the attention of some asocial schizoid?
How socially stunted or third-world (possibly both) do you have to be to ask this in sincerity?

>>713779137
>Why do you think they swarmed video game, tech, and anime conventions?
Because they're interested in those hobbies? Because companies started advertising to them too, and being social animals they wanted to hop on a trend? (that applies to (You) as well, muh autistics immune to propaganda is a meme).
Nah it's all done for your attention specifically.

They are not into video games, dumbass. They are into the attention they can farm from it.

Normies didnt ruin the internet. Google gobbling up and consolidating everything to 1 of 5 major social media sites did.

>>713779376
Welcome to everyone who plays esports or streams or plays video games as a sort of social experience to increase their social standing.

Unless you're playing single-player games alone, you are part of the problem. Yes, even LAN parties are done for social reasons.

If women are thoughtless animals like you think, why aren't you slaying pussy right now?

>>713779140
this might shock you but you can scam retards out of money without getting naked. it's pretty much the entire principle behind most forms of business - selling something to someone for more than its worth because they lack the skill or resources to produce it. large swathes of the world are going through an obesity epidemic precisely because they got goofed into paying for pre-made meals at 10x or more the price of the ingredients and are too lazy or too stupid (or both) to cook for themselves.

Where is myspace ?

I joined Facebook in 2006 as a high schooler. You just had to be invited by someone who already had an account.

>>713779689
before 2007, like it says in large bold print at the top of the image.

>>713779689
Myspace lost relevance around 2008-10.

>>713779523
Why do you think women are thoughtless animals?

>>713777103 (OP)
it's the same event. Easily accessible internet (especially on consoles) leading to tons of investment into how to earn as much money as possible from the goycattle that now can access it.

>>713779523
how are you sure he's not? sean connery was smacking women up for decades. he probably thought less of women than most incels on 4chan.

>>713779523
I don't think anyone implied women were thoughtless. They do think about things, mostly money, sex, and attention.

>>713779285
"ergonomic gaming chairs" are such a scam along with monitors. You can just get a cheap office chair and tv.

>>713777103 (OP)
Xbox, Steam, Gaylo

>>713779997
ergonomic gaming chairs aren't even ergonomic or comfortable for most people
certainly not for anyone outside a specific body build these chairs are made for

>>713779919
>he probably thought less of women than most incels on 4chan.
This is the reality so many internet dwellers cannot comprehend.
Women don't want to fuck men who don't put up a fight. I'm not saying they want to be smacked around, but women do not fuck doormats.
Yet, the internet would have you believe that the men most critical of women are sexless incels and the ones drowning in pussy are the ones who agree with them 100% of the time.
I honestly think it was a meme started by women so they could shut down any criticism whatsoever.

>>713779523
How do you from someone saying women are vapid and superficial to "thoughtless animals?" Says more about you than him.

I don't remember you need a college email to register myspace. Seems like everyone in my high school had one.

>>713779378
Fucking retard. No one would care about having only 5 social media sites as long as the people on weren't 60 IQ retards like the average normie

>>713780815
I don't remember needing a college email. I had a Myspace fairly early on. Early facebook did, though.

Expose your hobby to women and you'll pay the price. Nobody would ever dare to name the elephant in a room, but its always women, the entire things-turn-to-mainstream curse literally always begin with women entering male autist space

none of the rest of that matters without the iphone. macfags are the enemy of humanity.

This image is wrong, there's one MASSIVE detail you're missing that made internet quality go to shit
It's internet becoming accessible to third worlders, in the year 2000 only a few third wolders used the internet through internet cafes, then a few years later it finally became a common thing everyone had in their house
this is why it went to shit, uncivilized people got to share and normalize their shit takes

>>713783130
Yup, huge part of it, as well.

2007 and then 2012.
2007 was bad due to the rise of lazy low effort multiplats trying to get around the fact that the growth of a single console was no longer enough to satisfy or sustain major publishers, which also lead to the total decline of standards for every gaming platform, since the multiplats would typically target the 360 (and also lead to the death of many studios, since the tactics that those major publishers employed were usually terrible for anyone working with them, see: Bethesda, EA, etc.).
2012 was basically a total collapse once publishers realized that no game sale or pricing paradigm based on single sales (including low effort DLC would ever be able to satisfy or sustain them.

>>713777103 (OP)
Videogames

Everything went to shit when third-worlders like Indians and SEAniggers got access to the Internet. They should’ve been segregated from the start.

Shutting tumblr down was how we ended up with fuckin onlyfans. Conservatives ruin fucking everything.
