>>717419043 (OP)
Yeah when I'm home I want to do what I want. No annoying faggots dictating what we play, no more having to talk with others, just good ol' gamin

When you talk about or recommend it you're literally promoting someone else's commercial product for free; doing a job you should be paid for.
I stopped talking about games and recom- I mean, shilling games I like for that very reason.

you being a mentally ill loner does not mean this is actually the case for everyone else
fuck, even /v/tards and /vg/tards can rabble up co-op shit constantly
there's retards playing roblox games together on /v/ RIGHT NOW
death to demoralization niggers

Is this how you losers cope?

>>717419116
While couch coop and splitscreen multiplayer is pretty much dead. It's time to admit that multiplayer is in a much better place than it was. I've been to my fair share of LAN parties and while they were fun. I remember how hot the rooms would get and how we often had to splitscreen which fucking sucked as you could barely see what was going on since you had to sit back. Now I still game with the same people but we all can just relax at home while playing.

>no fun allowed, you will get banned for anything even using a shitty emote too many times, you will get permanelty banned and money stolen if you said a bad word
>everyone is in their own discord circle jerk clubs
that's it, next question?

i started playing BG3 with a friend lately.
I haven't played a real multiplayer game with voice coms for years. It was fun to try and joke around about the game and play it socially.
The one thing is that its definitely a totally different experience to playing solo where I'm focusing on the story and trying to play the game seriously.
I can't totally hate the friendslop genre anymore.

>>717422534
>>everyone is in their own discord circle jerk clubs
in some ways this is a skill issue, its much easier to j oin internet friend groups than IRL ones. There are no stakes, just go try

>Nobody cares about anything anymore.

That's not true, and when you say "Nobody cares", you just mean "I don't care". I installed BF6 so I could play it during the beta.
I saw an anon say they were excited to play BF6, and I said
>nice. we have nothing in common
Later I realised that it was my choice to have nothing in common with that guy.

You niggas really gotta stop projecting your depression and misery onto the entire world. The world is far from perfect but this shit's just a cope to make you feel better about not doing anything to improve your life and find happiness. People have found joy and things to strive for in far bleaker conditions than the average anon suffers. That's your prerogative as a human being.

>>717419043 (OP)
I have exactly one friend and every now and then we play something together. The main problem is actually finding a fun 2 person game.

>>717419043 (OP)

Everyone is a cynical broken retard who gave up on life or some low IQ seething 3rd world brown manlet
>Nobody wants to get together anymore.
Try to get together with people in real life and almost no one has anything interesting to talk about since all they do is stare at screens and take SSRIs
>Nobody does anything without getting paid anymore.
I am not a slave. If you want me to do something for you pay me, or be someone I actually care enough about to help out with my free time.
>Nobody wants to do anything anymore.
I do plenty of shit. Fishing, play guitar, build electronics, work in my garden, go to church, and tend my livestock. I would just rather do those things by myself and not have to deal with every politics obsessed, vacant stare, self absorbed, empty headed retards who can't even say anything interesting and just stares at you with a vacant stare like like a dog that has just been shown a card trick. I know three people that are worth spending my time with because they are able to hold up their end of the conversation, have actual interests, and have enough theory of mind to understand that other people are actually humans and not just characters in some kinda self-obsessed story that everyone else seems to live in. They are all 70+ years old working class people who have spent their entire lives off line actually doing shit and understand what the real world is actually like instead of this bullshit erstaz facsimile of living everyone tries to pretend matters and tries to force into the real world.

Now hit me with those (you)s I got real shit to do and enjoy knowing that the retards I mentioned in this post will sit here seething.

>not paying attention and only catching a glimpse of some key words

That's actually what I was going to explain to you. People actually forget most of what they read, and that means they don't need to carefully read things. The only time you should, is if there's not much text.
You can speedread something like this letter and still get the jist of it.
>Sy
>Meet me in Baldur's Gate
>etc etc
>Love, Anna
and anything can be read like that. People may think it's stupid, but if a game has a lot of text, I'm reading it like this.

>>717424620
>go to church
Pussy bitch needs god to solve his gay problems. I bet ur trans too, lmaoing at ur life

>>717425795
if you read something about a tip but don't get the full context you might not understand what the tip was
or are you speed reading and not understanding what I'm meaning?

>>717425937
>are you speed reading and not understanding what I'm meaning?

No, I'm not speedreading your posts and you're just bad at explaining things. Why would anyone need to speedread two lines?

>>717419043 (OP)
If you like mmos, try turtlewow, it made me enjoy multiplayer again. The community is pretty friendly and theres a good mix of totally new players and oldheads. I'm honestly surprised a server like it with as much original content and effective rmt prevention exists in 2025

The problem is removal of fixed lobbies

speak for yourself faggot
I invite my friend and we play through singleplayer games while discussing it
we started disc 3 of la noire
sadly, it seems he found gf, those playthroughs might soon be over

>>717426012
I think you're just bad at comprehending a simple sentiment and making it much more complicated than it needs to be.

hope all you friendhavers kill yourselves you're all as bad as sexhavers

>>717426181
Okay, I'll remove the complication. Think about what I did and then think about how much of the board is visible.

Regarding videogames, there are like 5-6 online games I love but can't keep playing because the communities are so damn retarded, toxic, weird and/or unwelcoming. In real life, nothing ever happens because I'm in my 30s with one friend who lives across the country, and befriending new people is fucking impossible.

Babies first time realizing adulthood is boring. Don't worry you'll outgrow it at some point. Either that or you'll continue to despair without ever learning how to have fun and how to free yourself from feelings of sadness and isolation.

Anyone wants to play EU4 coop?

>>717428981
No thanks.

Millennials have pushed the age that people are still playing games together after work into the 40s. No reason zoomers can't continue that.

you cant tell me otherwise

>>717419043 (OP)
I generally don't enjoy multiplayer but there's at least one game per year that I play with friends, the difference between then and now is that we don't have the time or will to play the same game together for five year straight. We're playing Abiotic right now, we will beat this game 100% and then we will finish it, be done. We will play together again later, when there's another game that catches everyone's interest.

Instead we play the same single player games and talk about them

I dunno what to tell you, Anon

I know Discord's popularity and the emergence of specialized wikis killed the social aspects of most multiplayer games. Why bother chatting up players? Get on the game's public Discord and you'll have all the answers to your questions answered within seconds. For everything else, there's probably a wiki article for it.

Twitch celebs and E-sports obsession killed the casual aspect of multiplayer games ; everything must be optimized, metaslaving, etc. FaggotStreamer420 said X and Y were the best things ever so that's what every fucking wannabe pro faggots will do or use.

There are many layers to this issue.

oh fuck off nigger this is the same board that has had consistent TF2 friday lobbies for two decades straight alongside consistent random lobbies of mix and mash games for the entirety of the boards lifecycle

Nobody likes a whiny little bitch. You ask what happened to this board and one of the things that happened is a bunch of bitchy /r9k/ fags flooded in a long time ago and they spend more time dooming over everything and crying about how miserable the world is than discussing video games on the video game board.

>I have no friends

people have shit taste in vidya anyway. I tried to get my friend forever to play NWN but she didn't want to because it's too old. oh, but you'll play BG3 and suck that game off just because it was released within the past 5 years? fuck that shit, what a stupid mentality. women are retarded.

>>717423685
Yeah great but i have been joining and interacting and putting effort into making friends and guess what? Still not a single friend in sight that would actually be willing to do anything with me, i don't even get hit up and i need to go to extreme length to at least not get ignored by people, no matter how much i improve and try to be cohesive.

Are you sure you're actually their friend? I mean you consider them yours but have you thought about vice versa

I do more cycling than gaming nowadays.
It's very nice. Would recommend it to anyone, doesn't matter if you like on a city or rural area.

I live in a city and it's an easy way to get away from here and see some nice vistas.
