In the 2000s and 2010s every girl played vidya to an extent. They usually JRPGs, MMOs, Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, and couch co op stuff.
But now I don't see it at all.
And all women do is bitch about it.
Ironically this is all after the game industry tried catering.to them.
So Foids, do you game at all and if so what do you play?

hmmm wouldn't you like to know? I play... games. I.. have fun on them.

i play vidya but i don't post about it on the internet obviously. i play kenshi, morrowind, oblivion, a few mmo's, total war warhammer, older pokemon games (ROMs), heroes of might and magic, and tons more.

butt i admit it's actually hard finding girl friends who don't complain about people who play video games. i assume they mostly mean men, but it makes me feel bad and like they'd consider me a loser.

It's harder to get dudes to play a game you like than it is to find girl gamers in my experience.
Dudes will play a game with you one time then never launch the game ever again. Like why did you just talk both of us into buying this to not play it?? Retards.
>>
>>84466166
probably because they want to date men, a lot of men in my age bracket play vidya, and women don't like it, sometimes thanks to bad experiences with men who are obsessive about games and don't have other hobbies.
personally i wish i had a bf who played vidya and had a non-normie taste as well (but i do have other weird standards tbqh)

There is nothing attractive, interesting, or mature about playing video games. Video gaming is something that should be socially acceptable up until your early 20's at most and then you should move on with your life and actually be contributing to society and starting a family. Sure it might be a fun distraction once in a while on the weekend when you have free time. But to make "gaming" your lifestyle is simply pathetic. Its no coincidence that gamers are over-represented among homosexuals and transsexuals because it is a very feminine passive activity that no real man should be wasting his precious time on once he is no longer a child.
>>
>>84465965
Huh. What. Millennial girls were barely gamers wtf are you on about. The only thing I envy zoomers for is the fact that most zoomettes are some kind of gamer. When I was in school during the 2000s and early 2010s there were still girls that thought that video games were for losers. You're a retard op. Stop trying to rewrite history. I lived it. At most you'd have a girl that played the sims or some nintendoslop. Now zoomettes actually play pretty hardcore games or actually competitive games.

You hinted at it in your post: 2000's and 2010's. We kind of grew up and have lives compared to before. Even then, I have different interests now. In my free time, I'd rather be doing other things.

I still do replay some of the SNES games I grew up with every once in awhile. I replayed Final Fantasy Mystic Quest about a month ago and replayed through Super Mario World a month prior.

To be fair, you were seen as a nerd or a loser if you were too into anything obsessively though. I think people might've been onto something though, maybe you shouldn't be too absorbed with one thing, it is kinda unhealthy most of the time, unless you're like an artist or a scientist or some shit, you're just a nerd and even artists could be seen as too eccentric.
>>
>>84466287
You could but you'd be wrong. Gaming is not like reading a book.

Gaming is more like a child playing with their toys. Only for some reason gamers think it's okay to do that if the toys are digital images on a screen.
>>
>>84466301
Yeah, no. The difference there is that scientists and artists actually do and create things of real value. They aren't just spinning their wheels doing nothing like gamers are. People respect it when you do something productive. Even if that thing is cobbling together bird houses or making music or doing research that expands human knowledge or painting a picture that speaks to the human soul about what is beauty.

Nobody respects a manchild playing with digital toys while their life ticks away with nothing to show for it.

Quit the rage baiting fag. Here's a (you). Gaming is one of if not the biggest entertainment industry right now. Video games use different disciplines and expertise to be made. Designers, programmers, artists, marketers. It's the most interactive way to present a story and they take more brain power and skill to do well in than sports. The newer generations will be gaming in their retirement homes. Just because you always sucked at them doesn't mean they're for kids. You can now stop spamming the thread. You got a you.

You're in the wrong circles, more women are playing games than ever, Nintendo slop is high up there, they're still playing RPGs, co-op friendslop, League, Valorant, etc.
The reason you believe women aren't playing is because you're likely playing games that wouldn't appeal to women.

A girl used this pickup line on me.
Only reason we quit talking is she left the country and I stopped using social media.
I brought it up to a group of guy friends and sure enough we all couldn't shut the fuck up and we realized "holy shit, the perfect female pick up line does exist."
And the best part is it's not some desperate line to get laid... you drop that on a dude he'll probably want your gamertag just to be friends.
>Too shy.
Honestly you sound adorable.
Dunno what your chick friends are like but you could probably put them to shame using with that line.
Guys light up and get super excited. Even if you don't like the same game, we like talking about it and hearing about it.
Especially if a girl is genuine.
>To guys reading this, the female equivalent is noticing their shoes and complimenting them especially if they have very unique shoes. I've gotten girls to light up with excitment from that compliment alone...

Actually ask them if they gamed when they were younger. A lot of them have fond memories of Final Fantasy and Zelda.
Not saying all. A lot of them stopped once social media became super wide spread.
>A good example is investigative journalist Whitney Webb
>She has done the best coverage of Epstein, geopolitics, and is basically the female equivalent of James Corbett.
She took a break from he work for a few months. Sure, kids, a sad divorce, and other shit.... but she stated the main reason and lit up.
>Yeah I really wanted to play the Final Fantasy 7 remake and was a big fan of the original. I don't play much now but I used to love gaming growing up.

Finding girls who play videogames is easy. But how do I find a responsible girl who will treat life like a checklist, and play videogames with me ONLY if we earn the right to play them by following our daily checklists first?

[_] Daily Exercise
[_] Daily Music/Language/Art Practice

So far I only meet girls who do the reward first, and the responsibility never.

I play games occasionally. Nowhere near as much as I did before because it's hard balancing work, social life, school, and sleep. Not to mention I like to sit and play for a few hours, so I have to actually like block out time to play games, idk

Also, I don't like to mention it as a core part of my personality because I feel like some egirl gamer girl and some people get weird about it?
I once told someone I liked video games, they asked me what games I liked, I said FPS shooters and League, and he said "typical.." and rolled their eyes?!?! Idk, it was weird, and that's definitely not the first run-in that I've gotten after telling people I liked video games.
(I've also been called a larper for saying I liked video games??)
I just found it better to avoid it until the topic comes up and they seem chill

Holy shit. This.

I think a lot of women follow this mindset, but I still don't understand why women hate on it.

Though I've never actually heard any of my girlfriends complain about video games. Nor have I heard any girls complain about video games growing up, other than my mom.

We have a pretty big friend group of girls who go out and have fun and party and such, but my friends play:
Terraria, Sea of thieves, gta, power wash simulator lol, fortnite, stardew, apex, minecraft obv, pokemon, and a whole bunch of other games

I myself used to play a bunch of other FPS shooters and MOBA games. That is, until I got older, and yeah, I prioritized socializing over staying in and playing video games.

I suspect part of the reason this is happening is in general, women have a much higher aesthetic literacy than men, and most of the people working in the game industry right now are idiots who don't give an actual fuck about art outside of video games or whatever some social media algorithm shoves down their throat. As a result most games right now are derivative, gay, and kind of garishly ugly. It doesn't help that most indie games pull from the same references, and the easiest way to make quick dough there has always been to shit out a cheap throwback.

Pretty much any game from the 00s that I remember any girl really gravitating towards was absolutely gorgeous on an aesthetic level, even in the case of more gruesome games like the Silent Hill series. This problem will get solved once actual artists start becoming a priority in society again - not just bland, risk-averse tech industry rejects with a "creative side." Until then, the slop will continue. I say this as someone who worked in the game industry for years and saw this issue first hand, and left largely because it was just getting worse.

can you babies stop making shit up? less than 0.1% of girls have played vidya in the early 2000s. Plenty of girls play videyah as a socialization tool and did so from 2010's onward, but you couldn't really socialize in early 00's. What woudl they play with me? Ultima Online and Everquest? Lineage II later? Yeah, probably the 0.1% of females did.
>all those girls doing master levels back in 1995, when even most men did not play. ah those were the times
you revisionists are so fucking tiresome. having a PC at home, esp. with the internet connection was relatively rare back in 1995 and even early 2000's.
A gaming PC globally speaking is still fucking rare. Most females play "videogames" such as sudoku and crossword puzzles. Or Candy Crush. Because everybody has a phone and games on them.
Having a girl playing RA2 and or Broodwar in 1999 was just as rare as having a hardcore male UO player back in 97 or 98.
TL;DR: You babies haven't the slightest and rewrite history as you please. It's all bullshit.

women have been priced out of games now, they used to be affordable to play because of very low requirements or being on a cheap console, women usually just have a cheap laptop and their phones to play on, maybe a nintendo console at most.

bunnies aren't that expensive. They are live $20 or $40 and you can get them cheaper from a shelter.
The expensive part is the cage and the litter sheddings.
Bunnies are cute pets. They aren't as cuddly as other animals though. They do show affection, but they aren't fans of being held and only want pets when they want it.
Get a Flemish giant bunny

I've been a gamer my whole life and I've experienced the shift myself. Girls are way more likely to just voice chat in random lobbies and I've played with a ton of girls in recent years. They're always zoomettes from 19 to their 20s. Millennial girls would never. You fuck off with your sour grapes.

Man fuck your boring ass single player no skill having taste. I'm an actual gamer and I'm glad I can play shit like competitive shooters and mobas with zoomettes.

Both my sisters were gamers until their late teens but I stuck with it since I came out the womb. Growing up it was all I pretty much did other than ride my bike around town a lot. At some point they saw me playing video games and called me a loser and pathetic. Years and years later now they want to get back into gaming and play Fortnite or whatever. Plus, I met a girl on Xbox years ago and she plays way more than me. So I feel girls are playing way more than ever before. Blog over.

The difference is vidya used to be a social activity. I remember sleep overs where we would try and beat a game within a weekend and pass the controller.
>Years and years later now they want to get back into gaming and play Fortnite
my theory is women follow trends and where attention and socializing is. The uptick in the 00's and 2010s was because PS2 videogames are when graphics and gameplay went from jagged dogshit to actually amazing looking.
All guys were playing stuff and hanging out to play together. Girls that could hang were invited to hang. Other girls emulated that.
>There were girls who liked videogames
Girls liked games but were as into it as guys unless it was story driven.
>2010s
the 2000s had non stop encouragement of girls in gaming. 2010s opened the door to online gaming and turns out women don't like getting shit talked or losing at competitive games.
Then bitches started making demands to cater to shit they said they wanted but didn't really.
Now everything is dog shit, they prefer social media and they don't like gaming and if they do it is something they do for attention or to fit in, not because they love the hobby.
>There is no real fix. every attempt to make things better makes things worse.
>I will say if a girl refuses to play a game with a guy, you should not date her because it means she will not ever care about anything you enjoy.
>>
>>84472177
That is true yeah. I remember all the hate I got growing up in middle school/high school because I said I like video games and some time after I graduated girls want to get back into it or whatever. Yeah, I completely agree with you man. You know whats up.
>>
>>84472290
You are probably older than me. Way I remember things is Videogames were seen as a kids toy until the Playstation era. Sure there were some dad games that existed but they were boring. Luckily I was a child during this era.
Playstation was seen as an appreciation for graphics and mature stories, but you might get some side eye from your peers if you were overly into it.
Playstation 2 had the cheapest DVD player available and graphics that actually looked good and not like pixel jank that had FMV videos on the disc. And at this time everyone had something they tried and enjoyed.

By Playstation 2 it was fully normalized to play videogames and even seen as normal to have one plugged in at a party and people all play against each other.
>What people don't remember is the stigma of being an adult at an arcade in the 80s and the assumption you were a pedo unless you brought your kid there
>Or the 90s when every videogame was either a platformer, a fighting game, a sidescrolling plane shooter, a beatem up, or a puzzle game. Sure there were RPGS and tactics games but kids didn't understand them.
Sony really brought Gaming to everyone.
Only reason I got a PS1 was because my sisters boyfriend bought her one to play Tekken 3.

Where are you seeing girls playing vidya or girls activly seeking guy gamers?
Twitch doesn't count. Thats a love of attention not gaming.
And yeah, you really should never listen to women.
They do not articulate what they want.
They use words carelessly in an attempt to manipulate people into giving then the outcomes they think they want

I wanna point out something, the girl who admitted she liked games was asked with interest what she liked to play and shown genuine interest.
The girl who.played MMOs was asked what she liked to play.
Even girls who complained that what they like to play isn't seen as real gaming were treated pretty well.
A bunch of guys are pining in this thread for a girl that wants to just play vidya.
Guys are fighting with other guys over if they ever existed or if more girls than ever play games.
>my point
If more girls than ever were gaming they would be listing it with their interests as casually as musicians they listen to becauseof how positive the feed back is.
Feed back is only negative when it's clearly posers seeking attention.
>but why be mean to them?
They make everything about themselves. Cosplay thots ruined anime and comicons. Gaming e whores ruined twitch. Feminist gamers ruined the videogame industry for everyone.
So there is some minor gatekeeping because we've seen how it plays out all the time... but even then, it isn't bad. All someone has to say is they are casual and have some humility and people ease off them.

So according to this the only way to not be a pick me is to be a bitch to men.

PIIIICCKKKK MEEEEEE!

PICK ME!
....
>Term for women who sexually degrade themselves for a crumb of male attention
>But also applies to girls who refuse to sexualize themselves.
Just like the term incel, Pick me means nothing anymore.
Women consistently missuesed the term just like they did calling married men with children incels.
Women don't use anything with it's correct meaning. They just screech things that have the emotional connotation they want to shame people into doing what they want.

That's a classic among porn games, though every time I think about it I also think back at what could've been of Saria Reclaimed before he deviated from a Karynn clone into a library of ruina-inspired card game and shut it down due to backlash.
Patreon will never be a good basis for the creation of a game.

In other news, Planet Lust released a while back and spare for the character designs it was just mediocre.

So far it helps with story boarding, concept art, voice actor lines, and some music stuff.
Not so great at creating 3D assets, coding, writing, bug finding, gameplay testing or actual work.
I think once an AI can create 3D assets and a game that has a maker style AI that has templets for specific game types (like a tactics game, an open world game, a fighting game, etc.) You will see an explosion in passionate games from people who just like making games

I mean the majority won't create. It will probably look more like a fan fic community.
Sure anyone can write something and put it online now, but people share and create, and some people prefer making more than consuming and vice versa.
Only thing is I wouldn't expect money to be a big thing. Much like reading fan fics, it will be for the love of creating.

a couple friends wanted to see outlast so i streamed it for them a couple weeks ago

it was fun. i don't think i'd call it a "good" game by any means, but it somehow became a comfort game for me. i don't recall how many times i played through it, only that i showed them the multitudes of saves i had way back from 2014 when i played it over, and over, and over again, to such an extent that i never once ran out of batteries. i used to think i was so much better than everyone else because fnaf had just come out to much love but i played "real" horror games.

i mostly play mascot horrors, votv, and vintage story these days. sotm was fun. no, i did not and still don't want to fuck gluskin.

You're projecting a masculine archetype (the typical male feminist) on women yet women aren't that desperated to get picked by the first man they can find.
You're mistaking women who want to escalate socially for some kind of female simp, then saying that any woman who isn't both openly hostile to men and completely supportive of another woman is this kind of female simp.

For me, I like the idea of women playing video games because I like women who are competitive.
