    These people both sound tedious. Can I play with people who smoke weed but don’t need to make a thing out of it?

        The last time I went on TF2 I was like “I haven’t played TF2 in a while, I should see how it’s going.” It was right after the Pickle Rick episode of Rick and Morty came out and I load into the game to the sound of some 13-year-old yelling “I’M PICKLE RIIIICK” over and over again.

        I logged out and I have not returned.

          Nearly that exact same thing happened to me in FFXIV. :yea:

              It is, it is.

              Rick and Morty, for all its pretenses of being for very high IQ enjoyers, really made the internet insufferably gratingly less smart for years after it hit.

                  I absolutely do. One such "riot" happened not far from me too. Because of certain characteristics of the bazingas involved :us-foreign-policy: the cops just sort of stood and watched.

      Woah woah woah are you saying you just want to play a game? Like just play it with friends... For fun. Truly deranged. You can only play games/smoke weed/not smoke weed if you're serious about it.

        it's kind of admirable. anyone can make a dumb post on twitter. but it takes effort to become a villain on an anonymous imageboard.

          not only did he become a villain, he did so with a prototype version of the soyjack vs chad rage comic a decade before they were invented proper.

    Am I the only one here who never liked online gaming? I'll sit down for people if we all have the console in front of us and can play together, but...i dunno, the few friends I do have that game don't play the same shit as me, so I've been a single player person my whole life.

    So I can get fuckin right ripped and all I'll miss is some story

      I'm still mad about the next X-Wing/TIE Fighter game after Alliance being a lazy deathmatch lobby multiplayer game with a single player campaign price tag. :disgost:

        Those were a bit before my time, but as I've said here before - i would do horrible things for a new Rogue Squadron (that isn't shit and captures the magic of the original)

            I remember the death star trench run level was super cool to kid me, loved playing that one and trying to get the gold on it. And when people found out about the Naboo Starfighter? It wasn't a great ship in the game, but DAMN was that huge news!

              I was full :soypoint-2: about the Naboo Starfighter too, unapologetically.

              Remember when games had unlocks that weren't microtransactions or gacha trash? :meemaw:

                Oh, to see those days return again. And I pretty much exclusively play indie shit these days, you'd like there'd be some stuff like that. Nope, nothing that I remember.

                  Gunfire Reborn is mostly play to unlock unlocks, so it's the closest thing to a new online game that does that.

                    Oh, sure, absolutely. I've got a lot of stuff where you play to unlock, roguelites and shit are my jam. I think my brain just went immediately to cheat codes and convoluted actions you need to take.

                The funny thing is they did it again with Rogue Squadron III when nobody figured out the way to unlock the Return of the Jedi arcade game for a long time (although you could unlock it with an Action Replay cheat).

      I don't like online gaming either, prefer single system co-op and it's good thing there are more games nowadays that support it :bloomer: My theory for why companies started to remove split screen from games is so they could sell everyone a console and their own copy of the game.

      Only online game I play is iRacing because none of my friends are into sim racing, and even if they were it's not like you could easily play those games in one room lmao

      Its nice to play games with people you like. Like sure competitive multiplayer with strangers is a whole other topic. But playing games with the bois,girls or enbies is a fun past time and there is a metric fuckton of games to choose from. Its also an easy way to keep in touch with people that you dont see regular.

      I was always a generation behind everyone else on consoles. My college years were spent playing single player games, watching TV off my DVR, doing assignments last second, working, going to classes and being a part of a couple of student groups. Just never fell into a crowd that played online. After that adult life settled in.

      Always loved the vibe of local multilayer the few times that I've done it. 4 players with: Mario Party, Crash Team Racing, Bomberman on the SNES, or just nonsense hardcore matches on WWE games. Fond memories of all of that.

      I never had a good enough internet connection to play anything online. Rural internet in the US is a fucking joke. I've been single player all my life aside from a few LAN parties in the late 90s. I've been curious though, felt like I probably missed out, but whatever. Single player takes up enough time in my bullshit life, I'm sure multiplayer would only make it worse.

    The "U MAD?"gamer stereotype is not only real, but hasn't really changed much since 2013 and as far as I can tell is the same people, older, but acting roughly the same way. With the same obnoxious "apathy is cool, being an asshole is cool" mindset. :debord-tired:
