I typically go with single player games. Niche stuff casuals rarely play. It’s not a flex or anything, I just a “distinct” taste in gaming
Let me show you my drawf fortress world
Give us names here. This is what it’s like when normies ask me what music I listen to.
What it’s like is the person saying they like all music but not that music.
If someone answers me that they like all music, we are gonna linsten to worm Shepherd or some obscure Norwegian black metal for sure
Same, except I’m going with some Japanese rock. Either way, we’re gonna test that theory.
It’s just more like they’ve never heard of anything outside of the top 40 so the conversation gets weird when I show them my music library and they’ve never heard of any of it.
When people ask me about music I just say “I don’t really listen to much music”
I know they’re trying to develop a conception or me, I recognize that they’re trying to get an idea of who I am, trying to start a conversation but I also know they will not draw any meaningful information from the answers I could give. Not because what i like is “too sophisticated and they just wouldn’t get it” but because my taste is completely incoherent. My taste is obscure and trash, and each listened facet is tonally dissonant from the last.
Better than acting like you’re a better person because you listen to some math rock group.
Idk what it means to have trash tastes, id like it if someone said that and then named the stuff they liked and I conformed it was trash lol. Id find it really endearing.
I have really eclectic tastes too, and I like my own taste in music, but I’ve also found a lot of people don’t really like some of the music I get really into. I can’t tolerate like 90% of popular music from the last 20 years or so, but I still like a lot of indie and experimental stuff.
I don’t believe there’s such a thing as bad taste in music. If you enjoy a certain type of music, then that’s the right music for you. But there does tend to be a big divide between what musicians and non musicians listen to and to what music afficianados and casual listeners listen to. Musicians and music afficianados can have lots of crossover, but casual listeners tend to have little crossover with the other 2 groups.
VVVVVV N FFVIIRI
Love me some factory simulators but most people haven’t heard of them. Games like Satisfactory or Dyson Sphere Program, or the one I’m putting way too many hours into right now Captain of Industry.
How could you play all of those and not Factorio? Did a 2D sprite kill your parents?
I go to the same barbershop every two month or so, but not always tge same barber. Every now and then i get a guy around my age who is pretty chatty, but we have literally nothing i. Common. So every time he remembers that i play video games, because he also plays video games. But for now a decade or so, his answer is always: fifa and cod and gta, when the new one came out. He has literally no idea what i’m talking about when i name some games i play. “Video games” to him is synonymous for fifa and call of duty. So we still have nothing in common
Yes, but at least soon he’ll have another GTA to discuss with you!
Can’t wait since i won’t play it.
Depending on how you gauge him, maybe you’re his opportunity to discover a vast fun world of indie games? At the very least, if you’re tired of him talking your ear off about Ball and Gun, you could at least talk his ear off about Expedition 33. Yapping as a defense mechanism.
indie only
Noita only
Noita is type 2 fun kind of game. Borderline type 3
i really wanted to play noita , but my old laptop couldn’t handle the game ☹️
Ahhh, one of those digital sadomasochists. How are the polymorph pixels treating you? Do they still keep you up at night?
From Anakin’s look it is obviously Rapelay.
Since you didn’t mention those games by name: do you play them with one hand, perchance? 🤪
Word.
Probably 95+% of the time I play is Single player.
I also dislike competitive gameplay, so with that most of the PvP goes into drain for me 😃
There’s PvE but then you need to get people to play (but then it’s pretty fun, way better than PvP for me)
you exclusively play mainstream slop games, right?OP:
( ˶°ㅁ°) How do you write in stickers like that?
Yeah this post doesn’t make sense. Natasha Legerro said it best “I’d rather walk in on my boyfriend jerking off while hanging him self than have one of those CoD headsets on”
CoD/ Fortnite/Counterstrike players, to each their own, but I can guarantee you that they’re not perceived by women as superior to indie game players as the padme meme insinuates. If anything, girls like watching indie games being played than the mindless slop battle royale type games that necessitate micro transactions and headsets.
I feel like FIFA should have been in the list
And then I go “Hey what if you could play CoD from the perspective of the psychopathic senior officers whose orders make all this violence happen?”
“Rimworld, what’s that?”
“Its like the Sims on a hostile alien planet with robots and cannibalism”
“Cannibalism?!”
"Yea… Usually not intentionally. I mean no one sets to eat their friends or even their enemies but after a few lean seasons and you have run out of pets… But it’s not like you let them go to waste, you can use the leather too.
… (Doesn’t notice them pulling away)
Human leather is actually kind of a premium value product…". “Hey where’d you go?!”
Evil genius is fun too
G*mers really make it easy don’t they
old games, indie games, games with the graphics settings turned all the way down
What’s the polar opposite of AAA?
NNN, it’s on the other side of the alphabet.
Just came home from LAN playing CS 1.6 at 480p
What’s the polar opposite of AAA
Submarine sims, 4X, point and click, euro jank, everything older than 2020, everything single player.
My video game habits closely match my music taste: everything except new pop country and mumble rap (coming around on Migos, though). Ill play any game that isnt an FPS or third person open world.
Highly recommend giving Spec Ops: The Line and Kane and Lynch 2 a shot, those games stray in really interesting ways from the third person shooter formula.
Niche stuff casuals rarely play.
that’s the kind of gatekeeping I’d like to avoid in my hobby
A lot of that ‘niche’ stuff may also be what ‘casuals’ do play
Yeah like so many of the single dev indie games I’ve played have been extremely casual—that’s why I play them!
I don’t thing ‚casual‘ refers to the difficulty of the game for OP.
I read it more as what the sentence actually says than gatekeeping tbh
