What do in this situation? When you're talking to someone with abhorrently shit tier normie taste?

>>723710590
>warzone, nba 2k, battlefield, stuff like that
i despise normies for even turning my vidya into something social that has to be done in groups.
ffs i started playing videogames exactly because i don't want a hobby with lots of social interaction.

Just mumble the first friendslop game you know about. Peak, the furry fishing game, Helldivers 2 ect.

>>723710590
>>"what do you play?"
There's your mistake. Unless they say what they play first (so you can judge whether they are normies or not beforehand) don't ask.

??? Homie I've played more than enough games to finger if I'd like something or not by youtubing a slice of raw non-commenting gameplay of it. Or better yet if it is genres I don't like. Calm down, fuck.

Feels good not being an amerimutt.

He wants you to play it so you two can talk about it and share expiriences and bond over it anon.

>coworker uses the word "yapping"

>>723712526
If I'm not interested from the get go, time investment wont really change much and I doubt I'd have a conversation that is too thought provoking or enjoyable because I'm not going to just lie my ass off about the game. It would mostly end up with me just listing and explaining the finer points of why I didn't like it (the think the other person obviously liked). That doesn't sound like a fun conversation for either of us.

>>723710421 (OP)
I haven't actually played it, but twice now when coworkers have tried to talk to me about games I've told them I only play Command: Modern Operations and then immediately pull out my phone to show them what it looks like and breathlessly telling them about how interesting it is.
That way they stop talking to me about video games. Or about anything.

>>723711243
>unattractive female co-worker starts talking about video games

>>723712853
This is me but with Victoria 2.

>>723711510

>i despise normies for even turning my vidya into something social that has to be done in groups.

videogames have always been a social thing, bring back arcades.

>>723715293
Yeah grow up and get used to it

>>723715472
No.

I remember look on that one faggot's face when I told him I have no idea what silksong is.
It's almost as satisfying as telling normies that you have no idea who random celebrity that recently died was.
Sorry never heard of em.

Back when I had a job at an university around a decade ago I was once chatting with one random chemistry researcher. I mentioned video games and he started excitedly raving about how awesome Minecraft: Story Mode is. Turned out one of his kids plays vidya and seeing Minecraft: Story Mode had blown his mind in a "whoa, video games are like THAT nowadays" kind of a way.

Dying Light on hard mode is genuinely great and not just another zombie game. It masters that RPG feeling of starting you as some shit ass loser and slow turning you into the king of the jungle

>>723712845

>>723715348
This tbqh. Consoles killed video games by encouraging gamers to be shut-in incels sitting at home all day in front of a box. Arcades and handhelds (true handhelds, not monstrosities like the switch or deck) need to be the only way to play games. Handheld games should also actively punish you for not being social like pokémon locking exclusives and the best evolutions behind trades.

>friend brings up tranvestites and faggots out of nowhere in the conversation just to see what you think about it
>spergs out and gets mad when your opinion is not supportive

>overhear coworkers talking about a game you like
>they're getting a bunch of basic info wrong

Here’s the ultimate freebie for guys like OP: when you constantly try to emulate a 4chan stereotype and pretend to be needlessly antisocial and make memes about how hilarious it is that you freaked out in public and ran away from a harmless conversation about video games for no reason because you’re sooo autistic, we can tell you’re not from around here.

>>723716537

why not just educate him?

>>723712372
I had a similar experience except he gave me a flashdrive with a 5 hour long pink floyd concert/documentary and every day he asks me if i already watched it and thats literally all he ever talks about now

worked with a guy that believed in big foot but not as some long lost ape, bigfoot is obviously a magical fae being

My steam profile is covered in anime and trans stuff so it'd be oretty embarrassing if someone I know saw it.

>he keeps trying to convince me to start watching one piece

>hey anon what do you do outside of work
>what kind of hobbies do you have
wat do

>>723716180
There's like zero survival crafting slop in Dying Light. It's melee Borderlands.

>>723711565
not games, but there was a guy in the office that would watch anime whenever he had nothing to do, mostly cgdct anime
the guy was brilliant though and would finish his shit pretty quick, he also used headphones, so I guess that's why his boss never had a problem with that

>>723717479
I watched the live action One Piece and really liked it.
But I'm never watching the fucking anime. 1000+ episodes? And it's still nowhere near done? Fuck off with that shit.

I feel like I have nothing in common with my friends anymore. I feel like I only hang out with them cause I am severely autistic and have no idea how to make new friends. One turned into a turbonormie who only talks about whatever slut he's banging off tinder this week, another turned into a corposlave who can only show up twice a month and only talks about work and the other permavirgin i can still relate to I just feel like we've exhausted every topic of conversation over the past 15 years and I just bring him down cause I get high and talk about how we turned out to be massive losers.

My best friend and I do nothing together anymore. He started dating an ugly, fat chick and finally got a taste of pussy. Immediately shifted to living together and shit. She cheated on him and I had to listen to his rants about it for hours. Days later he tells me he forgave her and they're together again.
On the rare moments he plays vidya he only wants to play stuff I have zero interest in, like Monster Hunter.

I continuously grow estranged from all my friends because they all grow up and I refuse to.

Never talked to them since. Still cringe out about it to this day. Made sure to NEVER reveal my power level to normies since.

I had a big vidya cringe moment at work early in my career. I was WFH for an investment bank in NYC, and I was at an all hands meeting. I had my gaming headphones on and my gaming chair, and my the managing director of the group asks my boss "why are his headphones so big?" to which she replies "he likes playing video games." He then says something along the lines of "oh, like call of duty?" to which I sperged out scoffing and saying "no, I don't play call of duty" not realizing that ANY game is shit in their perspective. I haven't told a single soul that I played vidya at work since.

In fact, I tell them that I only think about work on my off hours, and that I just enjoy working out and running, and then thinking about my job. NEVER mix your personal and work life, imo it can only hurt you

>>723722621

Yeah, best to just not talk about personal stuff. I rarely talk to my colleagues and i i do it's usually shit like the weather or some recent happening or whatever.

>>723712372
That's what you get for being pretend nice.

The trick to never getting into awkward conversations at work is to be as boring as humanly possible and never say anything remotely interesting. Always give a polite surface level response without adding anything to it that can carry a conversation forward. Eventually no one will want to talk to you.

>>723717260

Is it to get leniency with moderation or just so less randoms send you friend requests?

>>723722619
Seriously human centipede is okay but a rape scene is where you draw the line??

I'm actually convinced none of you guys have actually spoken to colleagues.

I work in an office (female daycare, 99% girls) and I just yap to the odd guy about games in front of them. Nobody actually gives a fuck, if anything they find it endearing (especially the older ones). In fact one of my work closest friends is a legit 10/10 girl who doesn't give a fuck whenever I sperg out about games (will be in a 3 way teamcall with one of my friends who also plays games, but still normie shit like Cyberpunk, and we'll just yap together while she sits in silence).

This, without any hints of irony, is incel delusion on what goes outside of 4chans perception of the world.

>>723722619
FUCKING IRREVERSIBLE HOLY KEK NEXT TIME SHOW THEM HIGH TENSION OMG

>>723719318
Honestly that's on your mother. If at 32 you are not sociable then you will never be. Hell, most normalfags at that age stopped being sociable as well. Your 30's is not a time to make new friends lol

I work in a university so most people are cringe but I still refuse to talk about vidya and anime there.

>>723723360
I do that but people still talk to me

>be nice to the weird kid
>he opens up to me
>he starts sending me guro porn
the fuck do I do? I don't wanna see that shit

>>723717207
My stepmom’s mom also thought this about Bigfoot, but she only ever called him Sasquatch. She also pronounced the squatch like hatch.
She said that Sasquatch would come visit her backyard every day, and she would put fresh fruit in her birdbath for him. Why? Because Sasquatches only eat standing up, of course.
She also claimed to be able to see auras. Mine is apparently a greenish yellow, if I remember correctly.

>>723723437

>>723723546
Tell him to fuck off. I’d block him too if I were you.

>>723723582
I'd say average. You guys are just unironically delusional about how women view people who play games. Everyone fucking plays games nowadays. Even some of them. One of the girls I worked with had a fucking twitch stream that she tried to get me to watch.

My coworker loves Tales of the Abyss. I fucking won.

The human centipede is absurd. It’s gruesome, but it doesn’t happen in real life. Rape is more viscerally scary for most people because it could feasibly happen to them or their loved ones.

I'm glad normies started to pick up with this.
If they talk about movies I just say I don't watch them

That time I was probably reading some otome isekais because I love the over-the-top petty vengeance the main character, written by a woman, causes generational pain because she thinks it's justice and how taking care (enslaving) a single good-looking man turns her into a higher value noble who think of the people when 80% of the time she's sittign eating cake in a castle garden.

99% of the time if someone is trying to force small talk, it's just a normgroid trying to hold you hostage. You're supposed to either give the designated canned normgroid responses for the next few hours, or you're the bad guy.

I've never met a person or had a friend that honestly liked the same shit I did. There would be a video game I liked but none of my friends or coworkers played it. Everyone would also be watching the same normie shounen shit anime while I'm exclusively into romcoms.

men never have real friends in the first place because friendship ends the moment one of you gets a important work position, all male friendships end with money, the closest thing you'll ever get for a friend is your spouse and only if you're lucky

I got my first job thanks to dark souls. During the interview, boss at the time asked me about my hobbies, and I said video games. Then he asked me to specify, and the first thing that came to mind was dark souls.

You rejected it. It's why you're going to Hell in the first place, you literally chose to be there by continuing to live in rebellion against Him.
>black and white bad bro why not just let me be a fucking degenerate all i want, lol???
You can't drink from both the cup of demons and that of God. Either you're with God or you're His enemy. There is no grey zone. Trying to be neutral at all puts you on the side of Evil since you are willingly choosing to not even do anything to begin with, which is just as bad as doing it. You don't "like" Christianity because you continue to choose to live in rebellion against God and are so much of a slave to your degenerate habits that you cannot fathom even attempting to try and break away from them to seek God. In fact, you are so full of yourself and proud in being the way that you are that you cannot even fathom the idea of humbling yourself and admitting you NEED God to save you and help you out in the first place.

He literally came down on Earth to live like you in the form of Jesus Christ then was crucified and killed by people just like you all so that He can SAVE you and everyone else like you from your own fate that you got yourself into and cannot escape without His help. The only One True God to exist literally came down on Earth to live among you, experience all you had to go through, then got tortured and killed for your sake so that you make have a way to reunite with God The Father, your Creator in a sinless, spotless state through His Son, Jesus Christ, and yet you still continue to mock Him and turn away from Him and mock His Grace that He extends to you on the daily because you find it easier to just continue drowning in your own degeneracy and wrongdoings.

Pray to God. Ask Him to help give you the strength and the wisdom to be able to open your eyes and see things for what they are then actually repent and follow Him so that you may be saved and have eternal life.

I have a "friend" in our group who's just like that. He'll buy some random game and play it for 2 weeks to a month trying to convince the whole gang to buy it. But every single time he will slowly start complaining about it more and more over time until he has one bad match/session and then claim the whole game is "broken" because of one specific thing that killed him. Like when Helldivers 2 came out he was all over it until he had a bad mission that failed and just claimed the game was broken and uninstalled it an never mentioned it again. He was all over Valheim until he died and lost all his shit and then never touched it again because it was "unfair". Most of the times when he dies I can hear him smashing his keyboard and he mumbles shit like "okay now the jumps not working why won't you jump" or "why won't x work". Then he will try to deflect the reason he died/failed was because "why didn't you do x/y". It's always someone/something else's fault he lost or died. It's so exhausting I don't play any matches with the gang when he's in the group, co-op OP or competitive. Like these games aren't even competitive guy they are PvE you don't need to get so tilted when you lose. It's distinctively uncomfy and no one wants to be the one to tell him he constantly acts like a man child. One of my comfy brows already stopped showing up for over a month already.

>>723710590
realize that you probably also have extremely normie taste in something you don't have a deep interest in, like clothes or food or whatever, and instead of judging someone for having mainstream taste you use video games as a common ground to form a deeper ground so you can get to know someone beyond their tastes in a hobby you like, or if it's really that important for you, use it as on opportunity to introduce someone to games they might not have known before, but not scare them off with hyper-obscure niche shit

>>723727927
The Bible is the literal word of God so of course it's Black and White since He is a God of Love, Goodness and Justice and everything you engage in that goes completely against His attributes and His image that He bestowed upon you is an abomination to His sight. You are in the wrong every time you engage with any of those things and it's always going to be like this since God is literally uncappable of lying, so all He says on this matter is true and has the utmost authority above all else, yes, even your manmade "subjective" takes on anything. You cannot be lukewarm and expect to be going to Heaven because you're going to "beat God with twisted logics and facts and mockery of Scripture". Either you're with Him, and you accept His free gift of Mercy and Grace, or you're against Him and you reject eternal life with Him, that very thing He's ready and willing to just hand it out you freely as long as you're nothing more but simply just willing to accept it.

don't make me responsible for that, I didn't crucify anyone
>to save you!
I don't believe in scapegoating, and what even for? For what sin? Even if I am not a degenerate, and am a generally good person, merely rejecting good will get me to hell. I could be the sweetest person on earth, I would still go to hell for simply not being with god. I would burn there amongst murderers, rapists and other evil souls, only because I didn't believe. That is utter bullshit.
>you inherited sin because adam and eve
´But it wasn't my choice, it was adam and eve's choice. If free will is so important in christianity, why am I punished for what someone else did?
If someone murders, should their son be held responsible too?
>you mock him
I don't, I just don't have any reason to believe in it, and if I mock christian morale I am just mocking the humans who created this mess.
>because you find it easier to drwon in your own degenerency
But I am not a degenerate. Don't pretent to know me
>free will
But god knew, millions of years before I walked the earth, what and who I will become and whether I will be saved or not, yet he still allowed the existence of all those who are inevitably going to hell, ultimately creating more suffering than any evil ever could.
He could just make the people who are going to make it out of free will, this way hell would be empty except for a few fallen angels, and the free will thing would still be intact.
Don't you always say that everything happens according to gods plan? In that case people going to hell was part of it. Their fate is decided and free will doesn't matter, logically speaking. That is cruelty, not mercy, but keep gaslighting yourself into believing how "good" god is.
