why is it always this game

I'll never get why people will drop something they enjoy when they hit a certain age.

I stopped playing video games in public around 14 or 15. It's like wrestling, it's something most people grow out of but there's a certain demographic that keeps doing it and defends the activity to the death. I can play video games for 48 hours straight, but I won't play one in public. It's just weird.

Steam Decking in public be like

>>716158820 (OP)
On a somewhat related note, I work in vidya QA for a living and I sometimes see people play on their steam deck during their 30 minutes break, what the fuck? I thought I liked games but that's a level too far, I'm using my break to actually take a break from vidya.

He only got picked on because he looked like an easy target, you need to be attractive before you do nerdy shit in public or at least groomed, or you can cope and say “I don’t care what others think of me I’m an adult”

>>716158820 (OP)
I used to play video games on my train back from university, before I had a car and could drive. I did work on my way to university, and played on a Switch on the way back. I don't think there are many circumstances where you go out in public and just have a random pocket of time to play video games.

>>716159331
Trvke. If the dude looked like Henry Cavill. His coworker would ask him what's he playing. But this goes for anything, if you're attractive you can do anything without getting slandered. The only caveat to this is if you're a gamedev and can use that as a defense.

>>716158820 (OP)
Yes. I play in public. I dont care what people say or think. I have even played Senran Kagura on busses and trains filled with human beings.

>>716158820 (OP)
No, but if I liked video games I would. Who cares what some NPC thinks?

>>716159331
>you need to be attractive before you do nerdy shit in public or at least groomed
They'd just find some other reason to scrutinize him. A sub 5 man could cure cancer and normalfags would be like "I don't know, he seems like an asshole."

>>716159546
Or if you have the face of an angry criminal. No one will even sit next to you.

>>716158820 (OP)
I emulated games on my calculator and the "popular" underachievers thought it was cool even when I looked like a gangly twink.
Stop being a thin skinned beta maybe?

Sometimes I wish I wasn't so pretty so I could square up with coworkers over stupid shit like this.

He posts on reddit so he should kill himself

But what you do is tell them to mind their own fuckin business

>>716158820 (OP)
In this case, you banter back. Redditors are such fucking pussies. Here:
>You should get a better hobby than criticizing what others do in their free time. Doesn't seem very productive.

>>716158820 (OP)
Only on airplanes. Otherwise I don’t enjoy the 15 minute sessions I would play in public, for example during part of a lunch break at work. I’ll just play some chess on my phone.

>>716158820 (OP)
I sometimes play text games on my phone.

>>716160980
That’s a pretty reddit reply actually. Not even banter. The seethe is palpable.

>>716159028
>I'll never get why people will drop something they enjoy when they hit a certain age

Most people are incapable of doing something if it's not "normal". It's why the NPC meme is a thing.

>>716161126
Yeah, I agree to be honest.
A simple "fuck off" is enough.

>>716158820 (OP)
He should make something up and report him to HR. Just say he called you a nigger or something.

>>716158820 (OP)
I'm calling bait, lmao. Sounds like something a faggot would post for imaginary internet points.
I don't normally play in public because I like to be comfy while playing, and the office is the least comfy place. But if I was playing something during my break and someone said that to me, I would be weirded out as hell. Not because of embarrassment, but I wouldn't expect anybody to unironically say that. Like, fuck off and mind your own business.

>>716159776
Women will

>>716158820 (OP)
>TFW not a white cuck so when this happens to me I immediately threaten them and they apologize and walk away fast
Lmao. Bitches are pussies. You know how many times Ive told a whore I'll smack the shit out of her and she changes her tune instantly? You insult me, I WILL threaten to hit you or your children if you have any around you. Pregnant? You're getting threatened with a stomach kick. Pushing a stroller? I'll push that shit into traffic if you keep running your mouth bitch.

>>716160980
Your response is also cucked. Just say "I do what I want" and go back to playing

>all these seething bing bing wahoos
>but muh self esteem
Let's be real with each other, you have no self esteem.

>>716161365
What's self-esteem? Is it tasty? Can I eat it?

>>716161418
It's food for the spirit.

>>716161365
Cute projection little guy

>>716161365
I just threaten to hit people if they insult me

7 years of judo, 4 of boxing. If they want to fight they get fucked up
If they're a pussy they get humiliated

If I start to lose I WILL pull my knife and kill you

>>716161342
and that's why no one likes blacks

>>716161365
self-esteem is r-reflexive anon. You need other people to evaluate it properly.

>>716161473
If strangers are insulting you then you aren't half as intimidating as you think you are

>>716158820 (OP)
There is a phase of life where you care what people think and won't game in public.
And there is a phase where you don't.
I'm 43. Wife is a medical doctor. We have 4 kids. I am a military veteran. I've killed people. I give 0 fucks about anyone's opinion. I'll whip out my retro handheld anywhere I'm fucking bored. Fuck you. Problem? Fight me. And by "fight" I mean get shot and by "me" I mean my concealed SIG Sauer P229 loaded with +P JHP rounds.

>>716161473
This kind of internet tough guy act will never cease to be fucking retarded
You're guaranteed to be a pasty stick who could be snapped in half by the average human being, and you haven't done any martial arts since middle school

>Be called childish
>His entire world falls apart
What a faggot.
>RDR2
Failed normalfag faggot probably played that one because it's more "accepted".

I travel a lot on the weekends so I play them on the airplane, it's only an hour each way.
