do you ever feel superior and more intelligent to everyone because you play old and obscure games?

Yes.
I genuinely know my taste, in everything, is superior to any other person and that makes me ambitious.
Fuck everyone else's tastes. Mine are infinitely superiour.

Games?
hell no
Movies?
definitely

No, but I feel old because most of my friend play new games with their fancy graphics that will fry their brain. Also kinda jealous because i'm poor and can only play old games

whats the point of being superior?

>>11803784
What’s the point of living at that state

>>11803784
that's literally me

No, I feel superior because I don't touch modern garbage

>>11803715 (OP)
No, I just got tired of the bullshit that modern AAA gaming brought with microtransactions and aggresive DRM. Lucky things are... improving somewhat.

No. Being superior and more intelligent than everyone led me to remain playing retro games, not the other way around.

this

Going to an arcade in 2025 and seeing a bunch of literal 7 year olds, stereotypical broccoliheaded zoomers, and fat hoodrat Shaniquas playing retro games will pretty quickly kill any sense of superiority you might feel.

This but unitonically. I actually had to run into a bathroom and vomit.

>>11803853
Similar to jungle fever, Pac-Man fever is contagious to young impressionable Caucasians. But if you see them playing donkey Kong, then there might be some queer shit going on. If they’re playing joust(black people don’t play joust) you know they’re intelligent fellows of European descent. Funnily enough, Africans don’t even know what jousting is, besides jousting their penis into white liberal women. I’d say it’s about a 3/5th compromise for whites and blacks voting the same videogames, though Asians do tend to play the same games as wy pipo. thanks to weeks, of course.

Black is just a dumber shade of brown.

>>11803910
You aren't wrong but you should ask yourself why you're bothering to respond to a nigger/mexican.

>>11803715 (OP)
why, yes. of course.

>>11803915
Everybody should be educated. It’s up to more intelligent poeoples to uplift our charcoal colored brother. It also gives more credence to my insinuation, that because black people don’t play joust, there is an inherent divide in intelligence inside the retro game community.

No. However, while I never use the term in writing, I do sometimes use the term EOP in my internal monologue to describe posters here, which I'm not proud of. I don't like being elitist :^(

I feel superior to everyone here because I enjoy and appreciate games both old and new. I play games older than you guys ever talk about.
I also don't care if you are 20 and weren't around to even see the playstation in its heyday; As long as you appreciate old games in their original forms and the culture and history around them you're cool.

>>11803926
I don't want niggers having anything to do with white creations and you shouldn't either. Do better.

>>11803715 (OP)
Not really, I just enjoy them quietly

>>11803934
But modern niggers are a white creation. It’s our fault they think they’re people and with a few more generations of harsh eugenics, they could be better themselves. It’s really a matter of if the Jews are willing to do their part as they are also responsible for this mess. I think it’s totally possible for blacks people to like joust and adventure games like maniac mansion or secret of monkey island.

>>11803947
>b-but it's our fault
>b-but if the jews let us, the niggers can...
Niggerlover.

>>11803951
Not all, but sure, some of them are ok. You’re doing a disservice to the world at large to let blacks slip through the cracks and destroy a large swath of earth. Also, I m not saying “if the Jews let us”, I’m saying, they need to take responsibility for being in in the debacle at hand. Will that ever happen, maybe, highly unlikely they’ll ever takev responsibility for any of the misdeeds they’ve done. I don’t see it out of the realm of possibilities though, reality is a strange thing. The fact we can play retro games at all is fascinating and at the same time discuss why blacks don’t like joust. Quite the experience.

>>11803959
>s-some of them are okay...
>y-you're doing a disservice if you don't love at least some niggers...
Niggerlover.

>>11803959

>>11803961
Now you’re acting like a black. You don’t see the whole picture, like a midwit who has been fed information and ideas they didn’t think of and would never think of. You’ll be the farm hand or custodian in the new utopia.

yeah am convinced /vr/ janny is a jew, with everything going on lately in the middle east this explains why he's not here 24/7 deleting everything off-thing as usual

When your hat is the coolest hat in the bier trinkhalle

That's like feeling superior to actual retards which is everyone that plays modern slop. I just feel kind of bad for them.

>>11803715 (OP)
No I feel awkward because when guys at the gym or work talk about gaming it’s always about modern stuff and I’m always like “I’m playing Theme Hospital again!”

>>11803715 (OP)
I used to, but not anymore. I "dropped out" of gaming around 2005-2008. Things were heading in the direction of AAA slop and CoD, while Ninty was in their casual era and then their JUST era.
But as time passed, I realize I missed quite a lot of good games. While I also caught on on a lot of retro, and I lost my "nostalgic goggles" for a lot of it, plus some of it I thought was overrated (see: JRPGs). I'm gonna be honest, today I'm having a harder and harder time finding something to play on consoles before 6th gen; or even if I "know" what to play, I can't force myself to play it (see: RE).
Then again, the list of games I'd check is pretty surface level, just acclaimed stuff of the last 20 years… TES, GTA, Dark Souls, maybe GoW and Fallout, just to know what the hell people play and see in these games. And I still have enough stuff to check from 6th gen.

>>11803715 (OP)
I'm not superior of inferior to anyone because of my personal preferences in leisure, of course it's natural for us to often feel and be judgemental of other's tastes, seeing ourselves as superior, or maybe even inferior, because of them, but I find that's nonsense and puts too much importance in something that's meant to be a distraction from the constant feeling of competition out there. I feel like I'm just rambling at this point, but my main reason for preferring retro over newer titles is both cost and time, it just sort of fit into my schedule and daily life better, it was a consequence more than an active choice.

>>11803715 (OP)
not really, mostly just disappointed when a friend starts up a convo about some gacha or $80 shit-game

Used to, but then you interact with people and mention it and everyone shames you.
It's nothing to be proud of

>>11803715 (OP)
superior? never. it's still vidya, not a something to be that proud of.
more intelligent? for sure. it's vidya, but at least i play good vidya.

My taste in everything is better. Not just games, but also music, movies, art, books, fashion, etc. Normies have terrible taste, and their behavior is also tasteless.

>>11803715 (OP)
No, that's just entertainment. When I do feel superior it's for tangible things. I try not to feel that way though, that's a bullshit attitude to have. However someone spends their free time to enjoy themselves doesn't generally matter to me.

>>11803715 (OP)
I don't feel superior. I am superior.

based

>>11803715 (OP)
Hell yeah.

>>11803715 (OP)
There was a point where I did, then I noticed I don't really, I just stick with my childhood games. Nowadays, I wish I was a normie. I wish I found interacting with other people more fun than Civ 2, but I'm an autist, it is what it is.

>>11803715 (OP)
Yes, normies act like cattle in every aspect of their lives and deserve to be mocked and suffer.

>>11803853
Yeah but you'd be better than them, right?

>>11803715 (OP)
Nope, but i'm probably less boring, as long vidya is the argument of the tea break.

>>11803715 (OP)
Yes I do. In fact when I explain to them that I'm playing on a crt+original hardware I can sense the immidiet jealousy in their eyes

>>11803715 (OP)
Kind of, yes.
Though I feel more superior and intelligent by actually fixing my own hardware instead of sending it to overpriced service like 99% of people nowadays.

>>11803715 (OP)
Is that Le retarded jeet meme?

>>11803715 (OP)
superior and more intelligent ? No.
Just happier because I play genuinely better and more fun games.

>>11805624

>>11803747
i've found that emulating well needs much more expensive hardware than natively running newer games that are designed for the limitations of digital displays. Most non-CRTs still can't compete on the UFO test

>>11803715 (OP)
yep, I know I'm not a normie who only consume the "NewProductTM" because it's the current hyped shit and everyone talk about it at the moment

>>11805657
>that's just entertainment.
it's not just entertainment, video game can easily be considered art

>emulating well
The hardest to emulate retro console is PS2. Any computer from the last 15 years can run PCSX2 on native resolution comfortably. What am I missing?

Surely you don't mean bing bing wahoo 4k ultra texture pack Shadow of the Colossus perfect 60fps as the benchmark for "emulating well".

>>11810203
I notice that all these "people" don't even play the new garbage for more than a month and then any discussion they start about them began to completely die out. There's no way normalfags actually enjoy video games.

>>11810210
video shaders ya dingus. Older games were designed with the assumption they'd be played on a CRT and have no coyote time. Graphics were often designed to look good when beamed onto phosphors, which don't directly map to pixels. Many games were also designed for the horizontal blur of composite video, which actually adds information to each pixel by giving them positional context.

>>11810251
That's a nice feature but shouldn't be the benchmark. Retro emulation is cheap and easy.

>>11803715 (OP)
Only because I dont play most modern games slop.
If you play old games but also shit like fortnite then you arent as Chad as me.

No, because newer games are releasing that are still good. I think people that play old games are mostly stupid and don't get *why* gaming got so bad. Not to say that these older games are bad, but the people playing them are rubes.

>>11803715 (OP)
No, that would be an incredible retarded thing to be smug and self satisfied about. I will now read the thread.

>>11806413
But normies do just fine and its weird asocial autists that get made fun of and suffer.

Feel superior? No. I am superior. Conversation over.

>>11803721
Based. I feel the same. I only come online to agree with the people that share my taste, and insult those who don't.
Nonody has EVER convinced me to stop liking something I like. And trust me, the internet tries HARD every day. Losers.

>>11810258
>cheap and easy should be the benchmark
no

Is there anyone left on the planet who doesn't think the video gaming medium went drastically downhill during the 8th generation and never recovered? /vr/ games are the only ones worth playing, nowadays.

>>11803721
I look like and say this.

>>11816308
Did you realize that (((The Simpsons))) is the spearhead of jewish culture? That Matt Groening was a freemason? You seem to be a real know-it-all.

>>11803715 (OP)
I can’t imagine getting into anything for clout. I like a few things that may come across as pretentious when pretentious faggots pretend to like them, but I’m an actual true blue weirdo who has about a half dozen extremely intense, niche interests that absolutely no one irl is even remotely interested in talking to me about except when I run into another person like me out in the wild, which is like a once or twice per decade kind of thing.

>>11803853
I’m on vacation and found a retro arcade today. I doubled this fat sweaty boomer’s donkey kong score which felt great, because he looked like someone who could effortlessly pull off a several hundred thousand point game
