>co-workers start talking about vidya

I had one who plays everything on easy mode if possible.

Shit was fun as hell, bro.

well you are if you proposed hunie pop to someone looking for a video game

I'm obsessed with this game. Why aren't you?

I should've seen it a mile away what was coming but I had hopes

>not nekopara
Smh

>hey user you like vidya right
N-n-no where did you get that idea

user please leave that job. You don't want to be around those kind of people.

>coworkers have ps4

Normies get out reee

What this motherfucker said

oh, I left that job years ago, is the only time I experienced someone talk about videogames outside of Sup Forums I learn my lesson not to talk about videogames in public areas

hey at least they got to know you a bit better

>"Which videogames do you play, user?"
>"The ones no one likes"

Is pic related a gamer?

Bullshit

Anyone that age will ask what kind of game it is and I guarantee she wouldn't know how to spell it

Stop lying for attention

My co-workers occasionally like talking about vidya they played on PS1, SNES or NES as kids, as well as some more current games. It's all fine and dandy but this new guy who came in couple months ago only talks about Overwatch and constantly browses the subreddit for it like I wouldn't notice (his workstation is right behind me). It gets very grating when the only way he knows how to start a conversation is "So last night I played a few rounds of comp in OW and..." at which point I'm just rolling my eyes.

Fuckin' whore ass bitch needs to learn.

I just fucking gave up
You have to either pay or play this game religiously for months to progress. There is very little room for skill when it's mostly decided by card and tower levels.

you are. Who the fuck says Hunie Pop as their go to PC game?

>New guy actually knows about vidya other than Fifa and COD
>tfw I no longer have to hide my powerlevel

>Playing mobile games

80 days, Lara Croft GO, Hitman GO, and Deus Ex GO are pretty fun. The first two have been ported to PC. You can pirate them easily or buy it on Steam. They're surprisingly fun.

>new co-worker I have to start to work with for 5 weeks straight
>Small talk with him reveals that he's a normalfag that plays in a small band, gets drunk often and fucks a lot of bitches
>4 weeks in of hiding my power level, he asks me what did I do last weekend?
>O-oh, I went to a v-video game tournament and hang out with friends that came from other regions.
>Wow, that's nice! For what game? Like Smash?
>There are tournaments for Smash here, but no. It's for games like, you know, G-Guilty Gear and other fighting games
>Oh yeah, Guilty Gear! That game's sick! Who do you play.
>mfw

Turns out he's gamer with actual good taste. He mains Robin in Smash, has a 3DS with a solid library, knows about Evo and he's hype for Metroid Prime 4.

Haha no OP, id rather die;

>yeah bro, I've been playing Battlefield 1 all week, I'm glued to that shit
>FIFA for me man, love playing as (enter shitty local team) at world level
>can't stop playing Horizon Zero Dawn, shit is so ca$h.
>you niggers heard of Overwatch? Found out about it a few days ago, so fucken good.


Shit taste everywhere

>plays only licensed games

Hey Steve I need you to cover for my shift tomorrow, that okay?

>coworker starts taking about Reddit as if I would enjoy it
Glad that fag got fired

Do we need this exact same thread every day?

I dont even know how'd I explain games like EU4, Underrail and UnReal World without seeing like massive turbonerd.

>autistic japanese girl starts talking loudly about games
I'm a turbo loser but hell if I don't cringe when she starts talking shit nobody there but I understand, and even I don't give a fuck as she is a VNfag

Do you think she imagines you with other male coworkers?

Dude, that's a chance.
She's pretty much yelling "SOMEONE LOVE ME PLEASE!"
Go and tap that asian ass.

Some people don't know how good they have it.

I'm fat and hairy just like those masked rapists in loli doujins, so no

Maybe your coworker is secretly Xration, who knows

>pleb coworkers start talking about how fun Persona 5 is
>going on and on about how great the story is, how "totally awesome" the dungeons are and all the different unique """personas"""
>i'm practically turning red at this point
>as calmly as I can muster but with enough aggression/passion to demand respect, I say "you know, the Persona series is objectively inferior in all regards to it's mother series, Shin Megami Tensei, particularly story, gameplay, and exploration. The all-out attack system is an utter joke compared to press-turn to please braindead casuals and the ""fun characters"" are one-dimensional abominations compared to the complex people of the Shin Megami Tensei series. Persona is also utterly lacking in the deep commentary on the social consequences of religion and the deep flaws in it's morals. I suggest you try a great game like Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey and you'll see what I mean."
>they just fucking look at me like I just spat in their faces

mobile gaming doesn't make you a gamer, end of story.

I mean you put it in a very autistic way, but you were right. Fuck them

Well, you sound like a psychopath so no wonder they were disgusted with you.

>"I don't like Persona because it's a simplified version of its parent series, SMT. If you like RPG games and liked Persona you should give SMT a chance; Strange Journey is a good starting point".
Done, without acting like a piece of shit.

>Smh
This shit needs to stay in Kikebook. Fuck you.

He's joking, dude

>co-worker literally described HZD as "an emotional rollercoaster"

Yeah, suuure.

He could just be agreeing with you to make the conversation less awkward.

One of my roommates tried to say he was super into games, and then I find out he only owns a ps3 and just plays Bethesda shit.

definitely a gamer, just not a gamer like you are

>50 year old female co-worker asks me to recommend a PC game for her teenage son

>she leaves before I can correct myself and offer more appropriate options

>wtf user, that's never EVER going to be on PC
>h..ha I d..didn't know

>everyone plays vidya
>play monhun during lunch breaks
>shit on each others tastes
>everyone has vidya shit on their desks

>co-worker wouldn't shut up about me needing an i7 and a 4k moniter when I was building my PC

Fuck off Andy, you know fuck all about computers. Christ you even bought a shitty overpriced "gaming" laptop from PC world. I don't know why I ever told anyone I was building a PC I literally just got trash advice. Another guy told me to get a gtx980ti because "It's soooo much better than the 970" even though it's terrible value for money when it came out (which is around the time I was buliding my PC)

These are my specs for anyone patient enough to read my blog post.

Use to work in a video game store and only 2 out of 7 people actually played games beyond Cod and FIFA. Fuck that annoyed and depressed me

You guys are literally autistic.

I am all on board the anti-cringe fest which is memes and or someone using le epic meme language or showing me pepe pictures.

But if a dude from work is talking to you about a game thats not fucking cringe, he has hobbies and so do you, why can't he share them.

If you don't enjoy talking about the latest CoD or Asscreed just say those games aren't to my liking, but still listen a bit and dont be a dick.

>boss makes fun of me because i still play vidya

Should have gone for the 10X0 line instead of the 970.

They go for pretty cheap depending on where you are from.

I wish my potatoe was half as nice.

>coworkers have Xbox one

>Tekken comes out
>Co-workers say they're gonna get it
>Awww yeah! PS4 right?
>"Nah I got an Xbox One"

I'm the only PC cuck on my workplace. Almost everyone (myself included) owns a PS4 and there are a few Xbox Ones.

My coworkers play shooters and scripted shit like Uncharted and TLOU.

Literally what is the difference?
>THEY SHOULD ALL BE SONYGROS LIKE ME REEEEEEEEE
LOL

>Collegues talk about vidya, table top games or anime
>Entry level casual shit
>Bit my tongue to avoid showing my power level

Dude the 10 series wasn't out when I built my PC. Also, I'm not from America so that shit is expensive for me.

Smh desu senpai

Xbox one is literally normie level

>he bought a 970 instead of a R9 390

Probably the worst purchase you could ever make for vidya.

All consoles are. Whats your point?

Watched gdq all weekend. Do normalfags even watch? Dont want to bring it up if it makes me look like an autist.

Turns out being succesful in life and liking video games aren't incompatible

Maybe if people stopped from having a REEEE hate for "normies" they would see it

>Coworkers only play mainstream games from ubisoft and EA
>Manager to talk them into buying cheap stuff during flash sale and they love it more than their usual stuff
>Still get the next big games

normalfags watch netflix. I pity them

Where I'm from Nvidia is so much cheaper than Radeon. I even bought my stuff on cyber monday and pretty much everywhere the nvidia option was 25% cheaper. I would've gone with an R9390 if it was the same price.

>conceal my power level expertly
>listen carefully to what he has to say and don't give an opinion of my own
>don't chime in with anything, only answer when spoken to about the vidya in question, careful not to reveal anything about it
>not even extreme normie shit triggers me

XB1 is basically a PS4 but with no notable exclusives.

t. idort who happily sold his XB1 awhile ago

normies most certainly dont watch speedruns.

netflix has anime and weird shit like Legion

>have female coworker
>loves the resident evil franchise
>watches all the live action movies, animated movies, has nearly all the games and beat them on all difficulty levels
>is letting me borrow resident evil 6
Pretty good

>letting me borrow resident evil 6
She actually hates you, user.

I haven't played 6 yet so I asked for it. It isn't too terrible yet

I'm sure he was trying to hide his power level by talking about normalfag shit.

You deserve every bit of scorn you get from your co-workers user.

There are actually some good mobile versions of classic shmups that surprisingly improve on the game by adding multiplayer modes where you compete against other players for high scores.

Strikers 1999 and Gunbird 2 come to mind. mobile is good when they revive old arcade games and aren't stupid cash grab shit like candy crush.

Can you recommend anything good for a relatively cheap price?

Hello newfag

>>she
lmao

all the normies i know have a PS4 for FIFA and CoD, who even has a xbone?

>otherwise friendly fat mexican kid keeps telling me to buy a PS4 so I can join his COD lobbies
i try to be myself at work but i guess im so fucking weird that i have to stop lest i alienate everyone

>Have this one coworker from an old job 5+ years ago now
>Remember I told him about steam and the sales so one day he bought a few steam games on sale
>One is mass effect 1
>He launches it every weekend and plays for like a couple hours or less
>Has over 400 hours in it and plays nothing else
>I'm his only friend on steam
>Haven't spoken to him since I quit but he must see me launch games etc on steam

>boss asks for your steam so you can play dfx together
>have a gay weeb profile

Uhhh haha I don't remember! Give me yours and I'll add you.

Not here.

here's a rare pepe for you

>he doesn't

>get a new job
>everybody talks about vidya
>they actually have good taste
>I still don't talk to them cause Im shy

>co-workers start talking about video games
>all information is slightly off
