ITT: Autistic things you do while playing games
Whenever I get easily killed or destroyed by an enemy, I crash my fists together and pretend I'm sending energy beams out of my fists like Obelisk the Tormentor with infinite power, then I pretend I'm being hit by those energy beams and are just totally annihilated, with flames coming out of my eyes General Grievous style.

This pasta is stale as fuck.
Separate my villagers by gender for resource gathering in AOE2.
I get boners playing games with anthro characters
I pretend I'm doing Let's Play.
I call out made up attack names, and incorporate my own sound effects.
It's a wonder that I'm allowed to leave the house without a goddamn helmet on.
Whenever I get a really cool or stylish kill, or I just beat a really tough boss I'll turn my head and glance to my right (never the left) smirk, and nod my head as if I'm in a mockumentary. Depending on my mood, I'll sometimes do an eye brow raise in there too, for maximum style.
Bouns: When I'm walking around to another room in my house, if I haven't been there in a little bit (minimum of a few hours) I'll slowly clear the room to ensure there are no enemies waiting. I'll either be armed with my M9 or a pump-action shotgun (which, naturally I own neither so you can imagine how retarded I must look to anyone watching the cameras). Every corner, under ever item, and all hidden areas must be checked before I can move on with whatever I need to get from the room
sure you aren't a schizo, user?
When I play video games I imagine I'm doing a let's play and I'm reading the script in my head
I like to imagine party banter during combat/travel in RPGs. Does that count?
could be an autistic form of OCD
I really, really don't like blood curdling screams to the point where it becomes physically painful to listen to them. I like the Mortal Kombat games, but I don't perform fatalities on characters with voices like that. One time I was playing Left 4 Dead and someone kept spamming Zoey's death scream, I had to power off my computer because I couldn't take it.
I talk to characters like I'm a coach.
"C'mon Dante, we gotta get it together"
"Go for his neck, Kratos."
I laugh like an asshole and do finger guns at the screen whenever I'm griefing, get an easy kill, or am generally winning by a large margin
I often like to do kill-everyone runs in open world games, even if I have to install a mod to remove essential npcs. I even give it a story reason, my character is trapped in a world full of automatons devoid of life and personality and the only way he can escape from that matrix world is by purging the game world of those npcs
I wank off if I can't beat a boss or figure out a puzzle and then get back and try again.
This sometimes results in me bating 4-5 times in a row before I give up for a while
>tfw I do this shit too
How can you not?
give your dick a break user
>console faggot here
>lay on my side with my head resting on my shoulder
>sit literally two inches from the screen
>even with a couch right beside me
My lumbar is fukt.
If I'm doing bad I punch my fists together a few times, not that hard but hard enough that the sting helps me focus. Nothing retarded like OP though.
Otherwise sometimes I'll say stuff to myself like "What are you doing?" or "Oh goodness," sometimes if I remember cringey shit I did when I was younger when I'm playing games I'll say "Oh god someone help me"
I always let myself get carried along for the ride whenever I play a weeb game or watch an anime, no matter how cliche the situation, plotline, or character is. Like if there's a super generic "girl who's a tease comes on to the MC and makes the tsundere/childhood friend/clingy girl angry" scene, I'm always shouting stuff like "oh no she didn't" or "OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH" while cackling and goading the other girl to do something, or if that same clingy girl who claims "MC is mine" or something like that, I shout my agreement and then say things like "those other bitches need to stay away from her man" or something like that. I also react like the characters do to the plot twists even if I can see them coming from a mile away. I never get this way when I watch/play western media; then I'm usually far more composed/serious and show my investment by writing character profiles for games I really like, and in general just thinking about the piece of media with a much more attentive critical eye, paying attention to the diction and narration style and everything.
Then again I did do a small write up one time as to why Shibuya Rin always looked so distinctive to me, so maybe I can take Japanese stuff seriously sometimes, even if it's stuff you don't have to take seriously, like idolshit. I guess that's another autistic video game thing I've done.
I practice my documentary voice on random shit while playing. One of these days I could record a retrospective of morrowind.
I once fantasized about my Final Fantasy XIV small female character being gang banged by the Zundu tribe dominating her small body as they discovered the joys of a female human
>do something good in a game
>throw up gang signs
No idea where I picked this up
Only once?
Post a vocaroo and we'll tell you what shit you are
I already know I'm shit. Don't need you guys to tell me
i am genuinely incapable of not reloading if my weapon isn't full
games with mag/clip based ammo systems as oppose d to the usual loaded/reserve counter fuck me up

i still buy WWE games and have an extensive roster of original created wrestlers with extensive history that i re-make in every game
6 of them i've been doing this with since SvR 07 and we're talking autism to the point where if one of them gets their left arm beaten up in a match i edit a bandage onto their character and edit out moves that use that arm a lot.
Now this is concerning.
>SvR 07
MY MAN thats literally the last WWE game i played though, get some help
If it makes you feel any better, last console gen from NBA 2K12 to NBA 2K16 I autistically did association sims and won with every single team each year.
now thats immersion. Good job user, i am concerned
Part of me is jealous as i wish i could still get autistically immersed in good RPGs and stuff like XCOM and all its soldiers, but a bigger part of me is concerned.
>do a lot of the stuff mentioned.
Christ alive, I'd rather be caught looking at porn than get spotted doing any of this shit.
i mean have recurring characters in the ones i own (07, 13, 15) as well, but they are joke characters based on friends and stuff besides my one donut steel character
i'm experiencing a mix of admiration and worry upon reading your post
sometimes i catch myself moving my face the same as my character or even emoticons
When I played Sub Culture or Aquanox, I would have a little fan going by the monitor and turn the lights out. The drone of the fan and constant gentle current of air simulated the recirculation of air inside a submersible.
I talk to my character as if they're fully self-aware they're being controlled by me and sometimes when we fuck up I have a contrived and convoluted argument with them.
I sometimes pretend Im streaming the game Im playing in front of an imaginary audience
I hold my poop in when in comfy vidya places
>save rooms in RE2
>inside a house at night in Terraria
I literally only shit every other day because of this, unless I'm sick. Sometimes go for longer, the other day I had a shit that was probably two and a half feet long, unbroken
I also do this autistic face that probably makes me look like I have downsyndrome when I think no one is looking
The only way I can describe it is the full open mouth yelling thing DBZ characters do when they power up, only I strain my whole face
>friend caught me doing it
>tried to play it off as if I was just yawning
>what the fuck user
>I was just stretching my face
>yeah... sure
Are u me?
God loneliness is a hell of a thing.
Why dont you acually stream? You might even make it.
I spend more time researching the best, most efficient way to complete a build in Dark Souls during a playthrough than I do actually playing the game
Also fuck, why do paladins get so little to play with in the early game of DaSIII
>elobooster for 2 games for many years
>very high rating in both very popular games
>too nervous to stream but appear on bigger streamers streams
I really wish I wasn't this autistic.
Hardly. If anything a perfect RPG would always have some optional banter/interaction between party characters when travelling around.
Ah. Room clearing is legit. I work the night shift so sometimes I get to clear whole floors. My favourite is jogging around with a MP5 or a Stakeout and lobbing imaginary grenades down the stairs at attackers. Luckily my the building doesent have cameras inside.
I act like I'm streaming or recording a video and talk to an imaginary audience
I minmax the shit out of everything to do the most damage because I like seeing big numbers. I'm playing Divinity 2 right now and want to swap Sebille for Beast because he's a more interesting character, but will ultimately do less damage.
I also spend far too long naming my characters. The first three hours of Divinity 2 were solely character creation.
>this being this common
Fuckin' glad I didn't grow up with lets players and streamers
>tfw used to spend hours upon hours as a kid completely focused on playing the vidya
>now I can hardly play a game without looking at my phone every 5 minutes
>don't have the money to buy a lot of games anyway, so I watch LPs of more games than i actually play
what happened to me
I talk outloud in two different voices when I do things. I talk in one voice when I do good things in a game and talk in another voice when I do bad things in a game, and the two voices argue whenever I do one or the other. They develop pretty good character over the course of a game, but I don't really give them names.
Why are you looking at your phone? What do you expect to see? Or is it merely an attempt to do literally anything else but what you are currently doing? Maybe you just aren't enjoying the game you are playing. Or maybe while seeing what the game has to offer is fun, you still don't feel internally it's worth to put any effort to get to see it, so it's better to have someone put that effort and you enjoy the game. I definitely feel that way about some games though I mostly like playing stuff.
I guess I feel like my time is more precious to me now, and I just want to do as much with it as possible.
That's pretty understandable. Video games as a "timewaster" seems like a terrible thing. It should be used as entertainment, but to use video games to time waste seems the equivalent to just sitting down and watching sports all day every day because you can.
Whenever I'm racing against AI, I shout at them whenever they do something to piss me off. That's not the autistic part, though (I imagine that's something that a lot of people do). The autistic part is that instead of treating them like an enemy or a peer that I'm frustrated with, I chastise them like they're a little kid that's misbehaving. Like, if one of them suddenly rubber bands and catches up to me despite driving a car that is just outright slower than mine, I block them and say something like "no, you are not going to do that, you know that's against the rules you little shit."
It's only racing specifically, I never feel the need to talk to AI characters in any other circumstance.
Wh n i get killed in multiplayer games i sometimes get off my chair and start walking around the room imagining how i could have won that certain engagememt and acting it out like an autist
ron paul anime princess??
I kinda do this too. Never done one before though.
usually when im playing tf2 i automatically imitate my character's animations when communicating, for example if i say "nice shot" or "thanks" to someone i automatically thumb up at the screen like a retard
constantly toggling caps lock
>masturbate during down time in mmos or when I get stuck on a frustrating part
>talk at the game in a goofy voice or pseudo rap slightly pertaining to the current actions in game
>press the a button with my index finger curled around in a c shape
I've got something that's basically the complete opposite, where I refuse to bind any actions to capslock because I cannot stand the idea of capslock being enabled even if it makes no difference whatsoever. It sucks because capslock is in a perfect spot to make an extra input for whatever, but I just can't do it. That's more of a facet of OCD than autism, though.
That reminds me that I actually have a really autistic OCD thing, although it's unrelated to gaming. Like a lot of people that have OCD tendencies, I prefer even numbers over odd (except 5, 5 is okay) but I actually assign personalities to numbers 1 through 12. Like, I think of 2, 4 and 6 as siblings and 8 is their happy go lucky father that is divorced from 9, which I think of as their cynical, almost movie villain esqe mother. That is without a doubt the most autistic thing I do and god damn I wish I had an explanation for why. There is something seriously wrong with me.
Sometimes I wonder why I haven't started a channel yet. If DSP can make my damn rent a month playing(and rage quitting) some games, I could get some change out of doing it.
Try it. Then you'll find out why you don't do it. Or in the off chance it actually works out, you are now actually making money.
I have so many questions about everything in your statement. If you do this something tells me this is far from the only strange thing you do.
Whenever I get really frustrated because I’m on a long losing streak, I feel like I’ve gotta masturbate. My dick isn’t even hard, but I feel like I gotta beat that shit.
>if the game has a day/night cycle, count how many days the adventure has gone on
Started with Wind Waker, I started wondering how long Link has been out on the ocean for.
whenever I'm playing a rpg with a silent mc,I give him a theme, like detective, barbarian etc and a personnality, then say the dialogues in my head according on how my character would talk and act, and I limit the weapon usage to what it looks better and say oneliners when I beat a powerful enemy or a boss
So uh, did your mother abandon you when you were a kid or something?
I do this too, user, but I've just picked up Divinity: Original Sin and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna break my dick.
I'm crippled by my total addiction to constant organisation and categorisation of inventories. Sometimes it adds hours to my playtime just because I spend so much time organising all the shit I gather.
I intentionally hold my piss in when playing competative games since it helps me think and act with more urgency
I do the caps lock thing too. I think it started with WoW from pressing numlock, w, numlock to autorun instead of an autorun bind. I'm a multiglad and still do it.
When I was master on LoL 3 years ago I'd take preworkout on the loading screen and rush through the game before I went to lift.
you just sound like you're having fun
rip kidneys
>(which, naturally I own neither so you can imagine how retarded I must look to anyone watching the cameras)
Do you live in a fucking mental asylum?
Whenever I get a cool item or get a really cool kill ill rub my hands together real close to my face and make funny faces
it may sound like this, but when I play a slut themed character in a pokemon game I start to seriously question my life choices
It's okay user. I do the same thing. Sometimes I replay pokemon games with a female PC and only allow them to catch pokemon that are horse/dog/tentacle themed.
Whenever I do something in a video game that takes away control from my character for a few seconds (like casting a spell or mining in WoW) I'll usually flap my arms around like wild and make a face like I'm screaming but I don't make any noise
Guess you never know if your fellow party member is a lunatic in WoW.
Go on autopilot and replay the worst moments of my life internally.
>i edit a bandage onto their character and edit out moves that use that arm a lot.
top kek
sounds like me whenever I have to farm someting in a game
I actually do this a lot in life, basically any time I'm alone I do it all the time, especially when I'm happy or excited. It just feels really nice, like an outlet for my excitement. I just pray to god nobody has seen me do it. (they have and they talk behind my back about it)
I'm actually really close to my mom, and I definitely don't consider my dad to be happy go lucky. Like I said, I have absolutely no explanation for it and I can't even remember when I started doing it, but it is one of the things that I feel point to me literally being autistic rather than just someone with a few strange quirks. I finished a game recently where one of the characters mentions that their wires were crossed when they came into the world, and that is exactly how I feel.
Then again I also feel like I'm too fucking stupid to actually be autistic much in the same way that I feel like I'm undermining the struggles of people suffering from depression when I am possibly suffering from it myself, like I have a really fortunate life and no excuse to feel depression. Maybe that goes back to the whole wires being crossed thing. I'm really glad I have no interest in raising kids because holy shit the last thing the world needs is another autistic fuck like me.
i also do a similiar thing when programming. i think of my lines, statements, and brackets as people and imagine their relations to each other. sometimes they're happy when i have to get rid of an annoying piece of code. sometimes they like each other so much that they get mad when i'm trying to change it and i have to negogiate and appease them. sometimes i have to convince a function that there's a bug in him and it needs to get entirely removed and replaced. he accempts it but i will still feel bad inside.
shit like this. it's weird as heck but i guess it helps me concentrate
It's called Sup Forums, we're all just inpatients
>I prefer even numbers over odd (except 5, 5 is okay)
I think this is normal. even numbers, 5, and its multiples are very attractive numbers.
>kept all the autistic shit in my imagination zone
>don't feel the need to do it anymore
Feels good
>game beats you
>so you beat your dick
what a vicious cycle
everyone does this
I specifically hate numbers even and/or divisible numbers. At all times I try to keep my windows volume bar at a prime number (or one ending in 1 3 7 or 9)
>do the same thing except I actually stream and no one is watching so I'm literally talking to no one anyway
>beat your dick
>dick beats the game
