I just don't understand how grown adults can play this and not feel shame.

I would be humiliated if people saw me playing this shit.

That's because you're a low-T self-loathing subhuman. Luckily not all of us are chemically-imbalanced failures like you.

>>715924490 (OP)
When I take the train to work and people browse /b/ or listen to tiktoks on full volume, people embarass themselves in public all tbe time.

I wouldn't want to be seen playing either by my peers but the right game is far more embarrassing with it's exaggerated expressions and sing along songs

You're an adult playing Nintendo games

>>715924490 (OP)
You'll understand once you're an adult.

>>715924490 (OP)
no one gives a fuck as long as you look even moderately attractive and you do it confidently

I played an Ace Attorney case while my friend was watching once and he developed an affixation towards Maya and she’s kinda his Waifu even though he’s never played the games since then.

>>715924490 (OP)
Maybe it's because you aren't an adult.

>>715924490 (OP)
Don’t you got some Sports games to watch old man?

>>715924490 (OP)
Why? Are you so afraid people won't like you that you avoid drawing attention to yourself?

>>715924490 (OP)
I feel this way about adults who have sex. Like grow up already. Sure you want to get naked and not care about hygiene and rub your genitals together like shameless animals when you're a teenager and flooded with hormones. But when you're an adult it's time to move past it and grow up and be mature. Honestly when people at work brag about their sex lives I kind of wrinkle my nose in disgust. I have more respect for Mario Kart world record holders because at least it requires the cultivation of skill and discipline

>It's apparently faux pas to play Mario games now
Why is this shithole so full of joyless, self-conscious fucking rat cunts?

You're posting on a site that has regular FBI monitoring what with all the child porn coming through here. You're not ashamed enough.

>>715924490 (OP)
you would feel humiliated if people saw you playing THE most popular party game of all time among both adults and children? who the fuck doesn't know mario kart

When you get married and you have to move your old hobbies to your mancave: you'll realize that there's NO NINTENDO to meet the vibes she requires of you

Vidya as a concept is designed for children.
Might as well enjoy mindless fun instead of trying to be serious and cinematic.
As a kid I exclusively wanted to play rated R games such as RE1 and MK, but that shits just cringe now. Do adult stuff if you want to enjoy entertainment for grown people

Yup, get over it. im 30 years old and will do whatever the hell I want.

Grow the fuck up.

I've seen the pendulum swing the other way and back again. When I was younger it was
>wow it's embarrassing to play mario grow up and play COD
then it became
>actually if you're an adult then worrying about maturity is immature just do whatever you enjoy if it doesn't hurt anyone and don't worry about what others think
and now it's
>wow it's so embarrassing to play Mario grow up and play Elden Ring

This board's open and (relatively) lax moderation has made it the place to go when you're too much of a spiteful, fun-hating dickbag for other social media spaces. They all filter down here when the other places inevitably push them out.

is it worth getting the switch 2 if I'll only play mario kart world online because I have no friends?

>>715924490 (OP)
you achieved nothing in your life, keep pretending to act like adult like you started to do at 12 year old, you will still be a retarded child in the end

>At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Videogames are toys. You didn't know that? They're not meant to be art, or to make you a better person, they're meant to distract you and give you mindless fun. If you think mindless fun is only meant for children then all videogames are for children, if not then they are meant for all ages and there's no reason to shame someone for playing them.

>twenty-somethings arguing over children's toys
Didn't you guys hear? You're still a child at 25 and it's illegal to even fuck you. You're all children mentally anyway.

>>715924490 (OP)
no one cares what you do in private

Real men play Fortnite

>>715927581
Everyone here does.

>>715924948
you are on the VIDEOGAME board you stupid nigger
if you're afraid about public fefes and your vagina getting hurt because of games then maybe you should kill yourself or pick a new hobby

lmao she turned the gamer basement into a pub so Tyreese, Jamal, Kingsley, DeMarcus, Jax, Kenyon and Isaiah can hang out.

Unironcally I think it's because everything else is pure shit.

PS1/PS2/Xbox 360/PS3 show this.

Even westerners were playing halo, assassin's Creed, call of duty, BioShock etc ..

>>715924948
Nintendo took the biggest footprint in the videogame industry so most of the titles are important to play for the general culture of the videogames
and the only way to study vidya and the game design is currently playing it

>>715924948
Yeah.

>>715924948
One of the few things I've enjoyed about growing up is the confidence in doing things that are fun at all ages without caring what people think.

Then play where they can't see you

>Walk around staring at your phone like a zombie
>Listen to random videos/tiktok at full blast in public spaces
>Have phone calls with speaker on, so everyone can hear everything
>If you're a guest with others, be sure to look at your phone constantly and don't engage with anyone
This is the proper way to adult.

let me guess OP only plays mature games for mature gamers such as himself

>>715924490 (OP)
Well it seems I can afford this shit with my own money and play it on my own time so I guess that makes me the actual adult huh?
Stay mad.

Then you're probably secretly insecure in regards to your own sexuality.

>>715924490 (OP)
When I was a child I cared about childish things too

>>715924490 (OP)
I don't connect my sense of maturity to the aesthetic of Elden Ring, bro.
I've hated this idea since I was a child, that you have to act your age with video games, and only play GTA or Counter Strike if you're older than 15.

I've always rejected those types of people, and I see a lot of "gamer" gamers on /v/ who think this way. I play games for their design and implementation, and to appreciate the package they threw together.

I could understand this reaction if I was playing a Peppa Pig game for toddlers, but that's not what DK Bananza is. This is more like watching a Pixar Movie, which is a "for all ages" kind of thing more than it's a game just for little kids.

In fact, there's a lot of mechanical things in Bananza that makes me wonder if I'd ever realize it if I was still 9 years old playing it. I played Rayman 2 and Ocarina of Time back then, and there was a lot of obvious intended shit with mechanics and the control scheme I didn't realize until I was a little older.

The sheer chaos of this game at times also makes me wonder if I'd give it to my child if I was a dad. I could imagine giving them Mario Kart or Mario 3D World. But this game feels like there's quite a lot happening at times, requiring specific focus and attention to get from A to B. A kid playing this will probably just stay in the first world and smash everything and repeat the process.

Woah, your black name game is on point. Bet that took a lot of practice.
