I contributed to some of the routing and tech for the Oblivion 100% completion speedrun. Quests, fame, oblivion gates, nirnroots, if it gets tracked on the stats screen it got 100%ed. It was fun to watch it go from ~80 hours RTA to under 24 due to a community of random people coming together out of nowhere.

Those "NPCs" are real people with lives that you need to work to get real connections with. Dismissing everyone as that is like dating fatigue but with socializing where you're actively dismissing opportunities to connect with others.
>How about you kill yourself?
Why would I when I have friends who value me and I do the same for them? Regardless of whether your post is ironic or not, this residual anger is unwarranted and concerning for you.

You haven't meet anyone that shares your interests yet and are using a small subset of people to justify not engaging and disliking social people likely out of loss aversion (easier to not participate than to gain a loss of wanting to socialize.) Please socialize before you gain learned helpless, Anon. I believe in you.

>>733981508
How is it disrespectful to suggest something that could improve your quality of life for both you and the other person? If I want to play games with you, and we could both play which would improve out experience together, how is that saying you're "wrong?" I'm doing something for the better of us.

Preferably in real life such meeting up in real life gathering about an interest you have. So if you like gaming, then go to a local gaming convention start out with small talk to get into deeper conversation or use an online platform such here to talk about games or another platform. It might be hard to the "NPC" thing that anon said but it's necessary to get to deeper conversations. It will happen if you keep it up. Please don't be like the cynical people in this thread trying to dismiss "go hang out with others." That's actually kinda of sad they're doing that, even with video game culture!

It's a chill community and I contribute stuff when possible, but my schedule has been so busy lately, there's barely any time to even read the threads some days. I own every single official Japanese graphic novel and am waiting on parts to arrive for a DIY book scanner so they can be shared with everyone. As for translating them, everyone's on their own there.

It's probably going to end up being a total of like 2000 pages one pic at a time. Tedious, but the series should be as well archived as possible. There's nothing else quite like it. It's not just about the tits and ass, it's the writing that really makes it special.

That's a subset of the rest of the entire community that you're passing off as the whole. Like how everyone believes all furries are all of the negative stereotypes they have. Which doing will always leave a cynical and internally bitter view of said community in your head and not improve anything for anyone except your distaste for them as a whole. Leaving less places for you to partake in since you're always maximizing the worst in every group.

Everyone you need to DRINK WATER
If you guys don't DRINK WATER you will be DEHYDRATED and be less good in engaging with your community of gamers

>>733983343
Okay but you could still find a portion of that community because to say it's an entire is simply not true. Unless it's a community that is fundamentally based on a bad ideology (like MAP) there's no reason you can't join a gaming community, find a nice place where you fit in and contribute to it positively. Again, you've taken a small portion of that community and are using it for a reason to maximize to the entirety and have no charity to do better for the sake of a community. Like me, I see a lot of people on /v/ acting like this and I'm giving good communal advice to better on a video game board. I don't go. Oh snap, people suck, I should stop doing this! I'm secure and am using that to improve others with advice. Even if I'm getting disliked.

>>733983079

>>733983159
I'm 30. I've been trying all my life. Never found people worth it. I've accepted it isn't a problem of individuals, it's the concept of socializing in general that is boring and stupid. That's schizoid personality disorder for you.

because you're making wild assumptions about random people and trying to give out bad advice that clearly didn't work out for you. friendships built for the sake of building friendships aren't friendships, it's just sycophancy.

Again, both you are making assumptions about me based on me giving advice to make friends in the hopes of doing better.

Yeah, it's tough, but I still do it for the sake doing it. I'm social absurdist. I socialize for the sake of socializing. Even if it doesn't pay off immediately, it will.

What if some people are simply happy the way they are? Not everyone is like you.
You are able to disagree with others and still love them, and you are able to do so in a way that doesn't involve colonizing their thoughts with your own. Simply listen to them, accept them, and love them, even if you disagree. If they see that your way of doing things is better, they will change their behavior voluntarily, though this can't be done on an anonymous imageboard.
You're trying to make everyone see things the same way you do, and that's never going to work out. You come across as someone who's beating others over the head with your opinion and proclaiming it to be the only correct one. Like it or not, the image you project to others is a negative and vain one.
The only thing that can make a person change is themselves. You cannot force them to do anything, even if you think it's life-saving.

>listen here you dumb bitch, you've made the same endlessly repeated classic mistake that all normalfags make, which is the assumption that i, a schizoid, intrinsically base and determine my happiness and self worth from external validation and social connections, when the reality is exactly the opposite. i am not only incapable of forming the social connections that you claim would make me happy, but the very idea of doing so is contrary to my nature and would in fact cause me extreme unhappiness. you have effectively failed to truly empathize with me because it is not possible for you, as a neurotypical socially-dependent normie, to conceive of an existence wherein one's self worth is assured from purely internal motivators. you are unable to do this because, like my inability to be dependent on social connections, it is contrary to your very nature. when i am old and frail and in my deathbed, i will not be ruminating on a 'life wasted' due to a lack of social connections, because to me social connects possess a net negative value; i will instead most likely be ruminating on my happiest experiences when i was alone, engaging in my favorite hobby, without your pseudo-intellectual erroneous and fallacious drivel being spouted at me with no more understanding of my condition than a monkey can understand the existence of a sea turtle. as a monkey is an intrinsically social creature whereas a sea turtle is an intrinsically isolationist one, the metaphor is a particularly apt one. if you truly cared about me and my wellbeing, then you would accept that my mode of existence is different from yours and accept that it is possible for me to be happy and fulfilled whilst being completely socially isolated and alone, as my condition as a schizoid frees me from the social constraints that you as a normie find such fulfillment in. now shut up and watch me hit this world record on a super mario 64 0 a presses challenge

>>733984787
you responded to the wrong post

>>733984514
One last thing: people don't usually like being told what to do.
I can see you have good intentions and want to make other people happy, but most people are resistant to being told what to do with themselves (especially if they think it's condescending).
It's also a natural fault with giving advice, no one else feels the same way you do, no one else even sees the same things you see with your eyes. Everyone is different, so why would the things that work for you work for them? You can't be a therapist because a therapist knows their patient and can give advice that is tailored to them, vague, wide reaching advice doesn't work for anyone, even if it's positive. It needs to be personal.
Even then, therapists usually just let you talk and listen. Most people don't like being told what to do, but most people will also like talking about their problems. It's easy to listen, it's draining to give advice that no one finds helpful.
And, to be hypocritical to my own beliefs and give you vague advice, I hope you don't think of yourself as someone who needs to save or help other people in real life by giving them advice. It's draining, and it's going to make you tired and bitter yourself. If you find yourself wanting to help, then just offer to listen.

>>733984892
Thank you Anon, I appreciate your post. Although, I also want to add this. Could you explain why is it then that people still chose to actively be bitter or rather project it on to others anyways? Like when I'm upset. I'm upset. But I don't go out and be upset at other and take residual anger out on others. Although, I'm going to assume that based on post it's because everyone is different and expresses themselves differently. If that is the case, let me know. Thanks for responding.

>>733985026
So how long do you intend to talk to yourself?

>>733985119
Would it be untrue if it were true I'm the "same poster?" Which I'm not. What's the significance of that?

>>733985026
It is because everyone expresses themselves differently, it's also because it's /v/. Acting like that towards people you disagree with is normal here. Not necessarily bad.
I can make a hundred assumptions about why they might do it but I don't know them and I can't speak for them. Some might do it because they see you as someone who's preaching something they've heard a thousand times already, some people might see someone they dislike in your posts, some people might just see you as annoying. Don't dwell on it. You can't expect people to be saints on /v/ of all places and be nice towards towards you.
I hope you came out of this with some new knowledge, at least.

>>733985223

Why not? I don't like other people.

good enough
now,
OUT.

>>733985757
ah there's your malfunction. you only know the few words of english that chatgpt spews out so you attribute everything to either cynicism or bitterness regardless of it's actual origin.

>>733985785
Like... the first post? I asked if people were into gaming communities? But I started responding to people who made it personal which how we got here. I thought people would share good gaming communal experiences?

I used to post a lot in the DF and CDDA forums.
I still participate in the CoQ and Helldivers subreddits.

But I usually talk and play /tg/ shit with my IRL friend group.

>>733985854
You used two insults for the purpose of disparaging a group of people you find unpleasant and don't find it problematic. I don't think the words "moron" and "pig shit" originate positively.

>>733985854
you sound very bitter and cyncal though. Jaded even.

>>733985939
i'm not him. you just have a very skewed perception of reality because you're a self-centered narcissist.

>>733985908
That's nice Anon, I'm glad that you do that. I used to like /tg/ actually, I found out and checked Ruby Quest which I thought was a nice read because of that.

>>733977487
No because everyone online is an asshole-cunt-nigger.

I contribute criticality which is poison to both companies and consumers since it means that the circlejerk is interrupted. I like games and want them to be good. I am not using them as some constant dopamine drip to numb myself from the real world. As if it’s the fucking digital equivalent of junk food or heroin, people that have an issue with that are never able to actually say why that’s a bad thing without going into fallacies and acting histrionic. I mean look at the fucking meme in OP imagine being so mad that someone says a game you like is shit that you have to try and come up with a whole scenario for how they’re some maladjusted loner who doesn’t know how to act or talk around people. And the reason they think that is because their opinions are not shaped by actual face to face interactions but shit that happens on sites like 4chan and social media. They are mad that people don’t show them courtesy and are “rude”. But the reason they always get that reaction is because they enter every situation saying how any criticism is unfair and then devolve into shit flinging and dishonest behavior.

>>733985994
How is being a secure person who doesn't let negatively get to them to outwardly dislike other people "self-centered" and narcissistic?" If it helps, I could show who am if it makes making you attacking better. If I can't get you self-actualize with yourself maybe you gain actualization in disparaging me. I'm also playing a game monitoring this thread.

I chose not to be like this despite the environment.

How would you describe someone who takes everything at face value? "Simple"? Naive? There isn't a word for it that isn't negative. You're framing cynicism as a negative, I'm saying the opposite. If you think the majority of sociable people aren't stupid, good for you, but don't be surprised when you encounter that belief. "Most people are stupid" is a common belief, and "Most people" are sociable.

>>733986089
I meant to say attacking me, I'm getting a little tired so my typing isn't so good.
>>733986119
Yes, I have empathy for not expressing insults which I use to not do it because it happened to me. I don't let someone say something mean to me and regurgitate it. I used to that but now I don't because it's just bad to have float in personality.

>>733986089
Are you typing through tears or just given up?

>I'm also playing a game monitoring this thread.
ok? do you think other people aren't and you're above it all because you've numbed your brain to the point of mental retardation? there's that narcissism at play.

OP I know you mean well but you have to realize that most here were born after the year 2000 and instead of a community and father figure were raised online, usually on this very website.

Their adolescence was a playground for Gen Xers, Millenials and boomers. The modern anon in 2026 isn't just some nerdy white guy with an edgy sense of humor anymore. Thats was the case up until 2012 or so.
Today we have people here who live and breathe 4chan. Being a contrarian cynic and a chud isn't just something they pretend to be after school when they log onto their computers to troll the normalfags a little.
It's a core part of their identity instead and their concept of the real world is forever tinted by the 4chan lense. They're a lost generation and it's best to leave them alone. Let them hurl greentexts and insults at each other forever and move one. You literally can't fix them and they don't want help because they think they don't need any.

>>733986268
Dude, it's a video game board. Of course I'm laying game and I want to talk about it lmao wut?

>>733985969
Where do you think you are? A common belief on this board, if not the dominant one, is that gaming went to shit in 2007 and never recovered. Most people here have few other hobbies, if any. That's 20 goddamn years of a person's favourite thing being in the wretched state of a drug addict or someone in the closing stages of Dementia. If people here were positive and cheerful now, they'd be crazy.

>>733986267
Why not try shotgun roulette in irl?

>>733986306
yeah? so why did you feel the need to specify it as if it was some monumental achievement for you?

>>733986283
>think they don't need any
unless they say otherwise then they don't need any, you don't need to see everyone who's different as broken and bad

>>733986306
*playing

>>733986283
I wonder what autism you'll use to respond to yourself with this time

>>733986323
It's an Anonymous image board, you'll forget me the moment I or you stop interacting with each other. I just want talk about video games, in a positive way, that's all. I can send a screenshot of my progress for proof.

>>733986283
OP and you would look right at home on r/4chan discussing how to "save" anons

>>733986381
i'll forget you because you're just one of the countless hordes of retards pretending that they're pretending to be retarded. you'll dream about me because trolling is the only thing you have in your life.

>>733986283
Notice how this guy can’t actually say how games are good or how things aren’t as bad as people say and just continues to go for his ad hom narrative.

>>733986087
You're just screaming into the void. No one cares about your "critical contributions" and you actually do not care about game quality. You think anything relating to game design is le reddit. You have a few games from the early 2000s you're nostalgic about and just spew slurs on 4chan when any new game isn't like that with 0 understanding of the industry. You hate AAA. you think Indies are cringe and you think the culture war is incredibly important to video game quality.

The worst thing is that you actually believe you're pursuing a noble cause by being a jaded chud that knows nothing.

Seriously...?

>>733986147
sometimes less is more

>>733986317
Indie games are better than ever and AA is still putting out quality. No one who actually cares about vidya has nothing to play. It's all a big larp and you're gaslighting yourself into some woe is me drama shit about how gaming has fallen and billions must die.

You also were 7 in 2007 so stfu faggot

Just change yourself and fake being kind in order to pursue friendships for the sake of being a part of a community. Said by someone with no friends who admitted to being a bitter jaded incel before he became a better man and decided to spend his life proselytizing his buddhist offshot on a video game board.

tsmt if you just ignore all the bad parts and close your eyes to infinite shovelware you can find 2 decent games made after 2014 per year

Oh boy here comes the dishonesty I mentioned with the classic appeal to triviality. However will I get out of this one. I mean I could point out how him replying immediately disproves nobody caring, or that companies literally hire shills to come here and make do damage control for whatever dogshit they are trying to pawn off. Or I could simply point out that he I just making shit up and creating a strawman because he knows he can’t address a single thing I have actually said. You are a disgrace, to your family, to yourself, and to all mankind. Your life is coming to an anonymous image board and crying that people don’t like your slop and you feel horribly threatened by that since you have made it a core part of your being, like an addict getting hyper defensive when someone says how heroin is poison. And of course you have to project and cry about the culture war which you started and propagate while saying the people telling you to fuck off and exist solely because you keep pushing shit are actually responsible. And when this fails you will say it’s all just one big bit of bait to weasel your way out of looking like a complete fucking loser.
