What is "video game culture" in 2025 to you, /v/?

>he thinks this is something new
holy fucking zoomer

No honestly if anything this is a throwback to how gaming culture was 15 years ago where everything had food tie ins

>>714005867 (OP)
would you eat the giga meat pizza + red bull, recommended by hideo kojima?

>bacon on pizza

Such a fucking bottom-tier topping.

>no green pepper

I will fucking attack this clown if I ever meet him

>>714006482
i prefer just pepperoni slices + diced pepperoni on a nice bready pizza, pic related, just ate one earlier

>>714006482
Yes I actually would. However it looks like a rather small mean for one American.

>>714006482
i would have never thought of having an energy drink with food. for me energy drinks are terrible sludge you drink in order to wake yourself up

>Kojima thinks that is a good meal
No wonder he looks like this now lmao

>"The dough has been changed to crispy."
For some reason I find this way of translating Japanese quaint and like it a lot

>in 2025
A barely literate child watching two streamers play video games on two different tablets/phones and one is a Vtuber.

Food makes you tired, the drink counteracts that.

>>714007616
I think eventually video games will just be distributed on a limited basis to influencers and only released to the public if there's demand. Entire generations prefer watching versus playing, it just makes sense honestly

Pride and BLM in-game events.
AI moderation.
Kernel level rootkits labeled "anticheat"
Actively malicious people working for the studio who absolutely hate gamers.
Paid Internet personalities pushing corporate agendas, such as that Piratesoftware faggot.
Multiplayer infested with browns.
90% of games are "early access" forever.
Built-in moderation for single player games.
Retards screaming about trannies.
Trannies screaming about retards.
Season pass in fucking everything.
DLC collectively costing 10x more than the base game while only offering 1/10 of the content.
Paid reviews.
Paid shills.
Artificial hype and astroturfing.
Fucking grim.

>>714006482
No, I do not like meat lovers pizza, too much meat ruins the flavour. I prefer a chorizo, black olives and green peppers pizza. If I feel like eating a heavier pizza, I would order a chorizo, steak and chimichurri pizza.

>Artificial hype
And overall fad games that aren't really good but they get popular with a streamer or a tiktok video and they get 2.3 billion downloads worldwide.

The fake hype is just an attempt to "fad-isize" their bad game just in case by some fluke it becomes runaway popular and turns into a billion dollar franchise for no reason (*cough FNAF *cough).

Decrying corporate pandering right up until they moment they're pandering to me and only me. But actually it's like music culture's trajectory where the pool of games and number of people playing them has grown large enough to splinter into diverse cultures centered around genres, publishers, franchises, etc.

>>714005867 (OP)
to me? nothing. I don't care what people thing video game culture is, I don't care if people think games are or are not art. I don't care about "gamers"

I play video games for fun, simple as. fuck all the bullshit noise around them and fuck you

>>714006482
Why do nips put mayo on pizza? I’ve given it a chance every time I’ve been there and It’s fucking disgusting

>>714008498
I would order a taco burrito chihuahua pizza my wetback bro

>>714010509
Probably because they never eat the stuff normally. Japs seem to only eat outside of routine rarely, so they likely just fucking shove every bad food in one

this is high class drunk food here basically. energy drinks to pick you up from drowsiness and pizza to soak all the alcohol in your gut.
