do people actually build alone?like actually alone? no server, no friends, no stream, no video, no fans..? no forum post even? ALONE alone??people actually do this..??
>>735134045holy shit what's wrong with people
>>735134045>zoomer cries in nature
This better be satire
I've noticed that some zoomies can't even go alone to the bar, restaurant or to the movies.
>>735134045Why are zoomer so obsessed with voicechat and multiplayer?
>>735134336Who the fuck wants to go to a movie theater
>>735134869Nothing going on inside their head, so they hate being alone in there.
>>735134045It's a white male thing, you wouldn't get it.
>>735134336>alone>to the movies
>>735134882movie theater shooters
>>735134957Please... just this one time..
When you build alone, you build with Hitler.
>>735134336Not just zoomers, but normalniggers in generalI'm a 91 millennial and I have a normalfag friend who literally told me he can't laugh from seeing something funny if he's aloneBasically everything is social for normgroids
AAAAHHHH, I CAN'T STOP PLACING BLOCKS, SOMEONE HEELP MEEEEE!
>>735134045for whomst
>>735134045>Enjoy building shit in Minecraft sometimes>Don't want to deal with screaming kids or retards who will just grief>This makes me fucking Jason Vorhees to zoomers/gen alphaI knew they were pathetic, but this is hilarious.
>>735134958How depressing would that be>Crazed shooter>Goes to the movie theater>There's nobody thereYou'd certainly rethink your life.
>>735134045I dunno I don't post most things I draw either
>>735134045Is this Minecraft analog horror? I love these
>>735135341I mean if you haven't managed to befriend a single like-minded person in a couple of decades then yeah?Prob an early access serial killer.
>>735134045I see zero appeal in minecraft, honestly. The only thing that has ever sustained my playing it for more than 30 minutes was either having other idiots to take care of or picking a direction and walking. But yeah probably there are plenty of people happy to just build dude.It's like you've never met a guy who builds model ships.
>>735134045I've never had friends, so I tried a few times and it does suck. Calling it a horror is a bit melodramatic, but it's fucking depressing.
hecker's nightmare scenario came true. it has created a generation of zombies who don't even know what intrinsic motivation is.
I'd argue that if you haven't built your hermit empire in solitude, then you haven't really played minecraft.
>>735135996I have met highschool children I have had to ban from microsoft excel because they would just sit there holding down or right and seeing how far they could scroll for an hour at a time.
>>735134045It's pretty sad how some people can't stand to be alone with themselves. Says a lot about them, really.
>>735136083What's the furthest one got?
>>735134045For myself.Is that an alien concept to a zoomer?
>>735136615I think 12k was the highest I ever saw before taking the laptop away.
Reminds me, where is my Grounded 2 pond area? I want to hunt tadpoles into extinction again
>>735134045Sure did. Mostly utilitarian stuff like redstone automation. Minecraft is still a fun game for exploration and you can beat it. Minecraft is balanced decently for solo players. Valheim was too grindy solo so I never finished it.
>>735135735adults don't necessarily need friendsthe other people they talk to in the course of their adult lives fulfil whatever social needs they haveit's cool to meet people you get along with but most people are fine just talking to people, like adultsyou'll get it in a decade or two
>>735134336I go alone to cinemas alone all the time, and I wouldn't mind eating at a restaurant alone, but why would you go to a bar alone? it's literally a place to socialize with people, do you really want to be the weird alone guy who goes up to groups of people and starts talking?
>>735136875utterly scrollbrained
>>735134045I do.
>>735137025Yeah alot of the crafty survival slop games forget that your buddy aint online 24/7 like you are an solo becomes fucking tediousTerraria and minecraft nailed it pretty wellValhiem is shit solo unless you mod it for QoLThe factory games are mostly fine alone, factorio and satisfactory Starrupture is great alone but the dev clearly wants 4 people to play itThe most annoying thing is when you get a great build going and your buddy just want to make commie blocks and min/max because they are brain rotted by tik tok
>>735137118I go to the bar alone in tribute to my dad, he practically lived there. Dont even drink. They just know me as "that weird kid of the regular guy".
>>735134045Have you never played with blocks or legos or tinker toys? Did you do it just for praise? My God what a depressing thought, living only for others approval with no sense of personal joy, curiosity or satisfaction. The idea that someone lives only for little pats on the head and can't find value outside of that is fucking existentially dreadful to me, causing me to physically shudder
>>735136083teach them to use Ctrl + Arrow to jump to the end instantly
>>735135378Or at least your taste in films
the real psychos are the motherfuckers who join large public servers just to fuck off as far away as possible and never interact with anyone ever
>>735137583you're missing the point, the journey is what matters not the destination
>>735136875Rookie numbersBut in all seriousness, what the actual fuck.
>for whoFor myself
>he plays with legos…by himself
>>735134045i used to build contraptions in garry's mod before minecraft was even a thing. building alone wasn't even a concept i could comprehend because the whole point was that it was a dick measuring contest of who could build the coolest vehicles (not really, it was just more fun to see what other people built)
>>735139628no.................
>>735139654I just stopped going on servers because I kept getting kicked for my thruster hovercraft making noise.
To answer the question in the thumbnail: for me.For the satisfaction.Because it's there.You wouldn't get it.
>>735139903Based
>eight minute video>broken into sections like it's a 20 hour video essayFor what purpose? Dont videos need to be at least ten minutes long to be eligible for monetisation?Or is this one of those fags who hit it big, roped a bunch of people into subscribing to patron, and now churns out one video every six months?
There's no black people in my single player world......
>>735138815I liked doing that. I used to do it in GTA Online, just stand in the middle of nowhere and watch the carnage in the city below. I say the real psychos were the ones who hunted you down the moment they noticed someone was standing around on Mt Chiliad. All that effort to kill one guy wandering around on his own.
>>735134336>I've noticed that some zoomies can't even go alone to the barAny advice for going to bars alone? Trying to start doing it lately because I meet nobody new any other way. One problem is I'm 30 and it seems every place is either for 100s of college kids to swarm on weekends, or sports bars full of 40 and 50 year olds. How do you find bars where you can just kind of chat with people who aren't toddlers or fossils?
>>735134045One day soon Mojang/Microsoft will introduce AI players. Its only a matter of time
>>735140128our generation doesn't go to bars, we play video games
>>735134045did a woman make that video? gotta be
>>735134045This is why I don't play survival crafting games, or when I do I engage with the building mechanics as little as possible. If I'm going to build something for myself, I want it to be a physical item that exists IRL. A digital tree fort in a game I'll eventually delete from my hard drive just doesn't appeal to me.
>>735140125You must play on peaceful then as Endermen are black
>>735140128Are you going to the bar to socialize or to enjoy an overpriced beer over a nice pinball game?
>>735140326Peaceful is too scaryband lonely for me
>There are fuckers in here that have never gone to see a movie on their own before because they're too afraid of being seen alone. What? It's just a movie, no one gives a fuck. You need people to watch movies at home with you? I don't get you sad fuckers stopping yourselves from experiencing things because you need to do it with other people.
>>735134045Building things in DQB2 was just me building cool shit for myself. One I was pretty pleased about was an aquarium with a tunnel going through it, from the green to the snowy area on the island.
>>735140128Unironically, sports bars and football season.That said, your generation doesn't go to bars. Your only company will be those older then you and the staff, who will be busy.You might also look into "gastropubs". Those are typically on the small side with an emphasis on quality. Expensive though.Repetition is key. Eventually you will be picked out as a regular, even if you don't say anything.
>>735140128Oh, also, Breweries.A lot of breweries will have their own in-house restaurants where they serve food and drink.Not all of them of course, and the quality of the food and drink is not always on par.
>>735140185Barcades are kind of trendy right now. People mostly seem stuck in their groups and the crowd can be kind of weird, but I might try sitting around at one some time.>>735140351Socialize but I don't mind a nice beer. Yeah it's overpriced but if I were paying for the beer, I could just pick up a six pack.>>735140530>>735140878Sounds like good advice. Thanks, anon.
>>735140128Look into some kind of "craftcade" business. Basically a bar that doubles as an arcade, that's your best bet for the 25-35 crowd.
>Play Sons of the Forest by myself>shit's great>friends get it during sale and want to play together>all the magic of the game is goneNo, i will not play with people. I'll build my base with Kelvin, arm Virginia and fend the cannibals without extra tards.
>>735141661Survival games like the Forrest 1 and 2 and Subnautica lose their magic when you introduce other people. It makes it too easy to survive, part of the fun is the overcoming the obstacle and that you did it yourself. I understand why people want to play those games with their friends but I have never enjoyed playing them with other people, always alone. Same with DayZ, it's far easier to survive the world with other people and there is some fun to it, but there is something about just being alone, being solo and surviving doing everything yourself.
>>735134957Robert, I swear my friends are just late
>>735141812nta, but I felt the same way about Abiotic Factor. Going through all that alone feels like an accomplishment, and you get to enjoy the story at your own pace. Playing it in a group would involve a clusterfuck of a base and giggling idiots running around causing chaos everywhere like a small army of Mr Beans.
>>735134045that is the game?
>>735135247Wtf, I can't even imagine how that sort of brain works
>>735134045>people actually do this..??Yes. I did it in Conan: Exiles. It is very relaxing.
>>735135341I would not say that they are pathetic. I'd say that they are damaged and dysfuntional.
>>735134045I've only ever played single player minecraft. Even better, I used to play gmod alone, just downloading mods and maps and screwing around. Still never play multiplayer anything.
>>735134045What do you think half the appeal of Sons of the Forest is?I'm getting my painstakingly constructed tree palace whether you like it or not.
>>735134045Quoting Blaise Pascal:"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to build quietly in a Minecraft world alone."
>>735134045>The [Adjective] [Noun] of [Children's Game]I think my brain is starting to just filter out these dumbass titles. Just a new generation of autistic manchildren overintellectualizing their arrested development and thanks to the magic of the Internet we all have to see it.
There needs to be age-tiered internet.
>>735134045You know what, I agree. I haven't played mineycrafta since back in like 2012. But when I did, I made all sorts of elaborate things. I had a tower in the sky on top of a long pole like the one from dragonball. I had a giant pyramid with a bunch of redstone booby traps and secret rooms and passages and such, including an elaborate underground minecart layout that also went to a giant underwater glass dome with trees and plants and whatnot inside. But when I finished all that, and stared back at it all. I just thought to myself "okay... now what?" The most interesting stuff, at least to me, were all the elaborate redstone secrets/traps/mechanisms etc, but they were all completely useless since I'm the only one there. You could say that building for the sake of building something is the point. And I agree with that when it comes to IRL physical things, like making cool custom legos and whatnot. But when it's all just data in your digital minecraft world... eh.
>>735142449>I used to play gmod alone, just downloading mods and maps and screwing around.Based. Me too, Wandering old nearly forgotten maps with a 2000s themed inbuilt radio station is something I still enjoy from time to time.
>>735135247>I have a normalfag friend who literally told me he can't laugh from seeing something funny if he's aloneAnd now you know why laugh tracks were invented.
>>735142449>>735143263>Playing GMOD aloneI used to do that too. Still do sometimes. It's almost wistful looking back on old maps, crack or themed.
>>735134045I did this the first time I played Minecraft. Thought it was pointless after an hour and never went back.
>>735145006Yeah, it's like revisiting an old park or part of town you had happy memories in as a kid. Everyone is gone now, but the place itself remains.
>>735141374>Socialize but I don't mind a nice beerS-so what do you do? You just stand here idly, and look up at people while building up courage to join their conversations?That's creepy.
>>735145358Got any favourites you like to revisit?I like going back to mario_kart_deluxe every once in a while. gm_big_city is also a fun one.
>>735135247We joke about how normalfags are NPCs/cattle/whathaveyou but>Basically everything is social for normgroidsThe implications this has on how a person's life is lived make me uncomfortable. I don't want to know people who are like this.
>>735140128Bars are trash and you are trash if you go to them.
>>735134045This is how alt-right incels on /v/ live. It's pretty sad, but it's even sadder when you realize it's not a game for them, they can't just walk away from their loneliness.
>>735146113Mobenix and GM_Fork.The former is just a weird and eerily quiet sandbox that feels like the late 2000s made into a map, it even has a disco with the most popular meme songs from back then. Fork feels like an unused GTA map and it's fun to explore.
>>735148004So where do you go to meet people?
>>735148806Meet people?
>>735134045There's two different types of zoomers. The ones who are antisocial and seclude themselves, and the ones who start to go insane if they go more than one second alone, not just in real life but in video games too. Why is this?
>>735134958who is there to shoot?
>>735135847Do you think singleplayer games are depressing?
>>735134045Buy an ad, mr youtuber
>>7351489122 different types of reaction to perceived overcrowding.
I build things for my own satisfaction
>>735135378But maybe once he realizes there's no one to shoot he'll say>well, may as well watch the movie since I'm already hereAnd then the movie completely changes his life and he doesn't need to go on a killing spree anymore
>>735149008Sometimes, if it's very sandboxy or the world is very shallow. It gives me an existential dread sort of feeling, I can't focus on the game and start thinking about how I'm wasting my life instead of changing my oil or riding my bike down a dirt road or doing anything at all that would be even a little productive/beneficial to myself. Something about games with other people helps keep those thoughts away, or games with very engaging gameplay, which I guess is very subjective since a lot of people might argue minecraft is engaging.
>>735149530>today we'll have a special rerun of "The 30 year old virgin"
>>735135247>everything is social for normgroidsIts sad how true this is
>>735149530Modern Hollywood cinema would surely encourage him to turn his weapon on himself.
>>735134336>go alone to the barwomen will get the ick if they see you alone and the bartender will ask you to leave>restaurantyou can only go alone once, after that you get put on a list and they won't let you in if they see you alone>or to the moviessame as restaurant but they'll also send your picture to law enforcement afterwards
>>735140406I want someone to share the experience with and discuss the film afterwards.In absence of having a friend, I have turned to youtubers for that. It hurts bad.
>>735149764That would be funny if it weren't so sad.
>>735149857None of this is true in the real world. Unless you're talking about the US, but that doesn't count as the real world either.
>>735149857I heard RFK is planning to classify incelism as a mental illness and he's going to require they go to his funny farms/work camps for a minimum of 6 month periods until they're "healed". He's said that the sexless men epidemic is because men are too lazy and play video games all day. Dr Oz agreed that men need to work to be found sexually attractive by women.
>>735152258If the jews with their hand up Trump's ass had 2 braincells then they'd be drafting us.
>>735134957Fuck you nigger. Early morning showing in the middle of the week when all wagies are busy slaving is peak comfieness. Shame the state of movies is even worse than games
A thousand hours in Ark by myself. I have friends online but they jump from one live service dogshit game to another and I refuse.
>>735134336I have zero interest in ever going to a bar alone. Or with friends. I don't drink, so that's the last place I belong.
Never cared for multiplayer games. They just feel like a waste of time.
>>735134045Imagine being left alone with this in a room without a smartphone or pc. The horror.
>>735140406>>735149874>went to see a movie with a friend>all he did the entire time was bitch about how shitty the parking was at the theater talking to myself in my own head is genuinely more fulfilling than other people
>>735134045When I was a kid, I wanted Lego software to build whatever I wanted, infinite resources. That's basically minecraft. I fucking DETEST videos like shown in the OP.How pretentious and fucking smug you have to be to feel like you;re important enough to talk about that kind of shit applied to a video game. 3deep5me.
>>735135247I used to be a person who wouldn't laugh out loud when alone. Now, I burst out laughing at the middle of the night, but I don't think it's because my mental health is getting better. Rather that I've realized making sounds out loud, even if alone, makes me feel less alone, I think.
>>735154924>tfw all i had in my childhood are these and metal toy soldierfeels ok comrades
>>735154732You have it backwards. We are social beings, so only being social matters. Sitting in a damp basement playing interactive movies is a waste of time.Disagree? You're literally here attempting to be social right now.You know I'm right, you just suck at multiplayer games, have social anxiety and/or no friends, so you developed a narrative that they're the real baddies in your head.
>>735156170>I cannot socialize by talking or shitposting while still playing single player games
>>735156170>We are social beings, so only being social matters.What a statement
>>735134045I built a nice underwater city solo back in the beta days. Had Oz playing on a second screen, shit was so cash.
>>735135735Serial killers arent real, friendo
>>735134045"Yeah, I could clean my room, but nobody's gonna be around to appreciate it."...fucking hell, is this why Doordash is a thing?
>>735134045I build for myself.
>>735156170Imageboards are not, have not, should not, and will never be a replacement for actual socializing.
>>735134045I've build so many sand castles and keep combined with lego pieces and some other toys as a kid. They were grand, wish my parent to photos of those. Aaah the Good old days
>>735135341It's mostly alpha. Zoomers have been building alone since 2011
>>735134045not even 1 second of this playtime is in multiplayer, it's all 100% singleplayer solo offline playtime
>>735134045ESL here. Shouldn't it be>for whom?
>>735134045Yes, it is called single player mode, you should try it some time.
>>735158518Native speakers write like shit, especially on a basket weaving internet forum.good grammar is for fags.
>do people actually do things for themselves and not the approval of othersWe used to.
>>735156493>>735157809>>735156761Other things matter, but single player games objectively don't.
>>735158962Yeah, we used to live in the woods as well
>>735135247Eh, if I’m by myself I’ll give a little chuckle or exhale through my nose but I can’t think of the last time I let out real gut busting laughter without sharing the moment with someone.
>>735134045why do anything in the world if it's not being posted on social media?truly the most retarded generation ever. the first generation to be statistically stupider than the previous EVER.
>>735134045>the psychological horror of single player gamesdamn, zoomers sure are afraid of everything, even empty rooms
>>735156170>you just suck at multiplayer games, have social anxiety and/or no friendOr they're boring because they feel like a waste of time.
>>735134336Youngster think EVERYTHING has to be social. It's weird
>>735159219Don't worry, you're normal and that's not a bad thing. Incels having been trying to force normalcy into a bad thing forever as a coping mechanism for their insecurity since it is not normal to be a sexless, bitter recluse and they know it.
>>735148983the 80 year old pensioner
>>735134045No Discord, no Instagram, no $11 a month spent on Twitter Blue? How did people live like this?
>>735134045I love sterilizing large areas, build high walls around said areas, enjoy the warm feeling of safety despite running in the snow.
>>735138815when it comes to sandboxy games, that way is the best i take games like minecraft and zomboid more seriously when i have zero control of the world's variables like in single player
>>735134869Because liminal spaces make them piss and shit their pants
>>735158146
>>735134336I've taken note of this recently and it's scary how many of my friends ended up admitting to things like this.The anxiety and fragility really makes me feel empathy for them.
>>735159154Yeah it was great
>>735158146Dangerously based. No one wants to be the guy eho hosts servers anyway, shit sucks.
>>735160176People are so washed. Even the alt-right incels are hooked on all of the consumerist garbage.Capitalism fucked us up beyond repair. I know people who hate what companies and the government are doing to them and I tell them they can change that by no longer giving them money and then they get frantic and start acting like I ran over their child or something. They start going on about how they cannot possibly live without shit like youtube and spotify and start getting really defensive even though I pointed out that we survived perfectly fine without the shit not even a decade ago for some things.
>>735160315the only thing you have zero control over is yourself. literally incapable of cheating without it being enforced like a fucking nanny state. I bet you love the idea of giving your ID to Microsoft too.
>>735160450No it wasn't, but youtube and tiktok grifters will tell you it was by cherry picking feel-good bullshit so you give them views and money. You fell for it.
>>735134882me, my local is four bucks a ticket and has air conditioning in summer
>>735134946I've actually met 2 different people (one millennial one zoomer) who say they hate silence because they can't stand being left with only their minds to entertain them.
>>735160528>randomly starts talking about 3rd world age lawsErm...
>>735158802It's a good indicator of how brown someone is. Punctuation is one thing, but I've seen OPs that fuck me up with how broken they are. You can tell starlink users and immigrants have started coming here more and more.
>>735160491It's definitely true that some people have made such a habit of funding a business that they can't imagine stopping. For those people specifically, I think it's best to treat that habit as an addiction. If someone can't imagine going to bed without posting on Twitter, they should put extra effort into not doing that.
>>735160752Yeah, it's a side effect of capitalism. It used to be normal to experience boredom. We have been conditioned to become very uncomfortable if we aren't actively being entertained or doing something.
>>735160752All of man's troubles come from his inability to sit in a room quietly by himself
>>735134045Oversocialization is a disease.
>>735160887It's not really about effort unfortunately, it's exposure to addictive and manipulative things. We're animals like any other.Doesn't matter how well trained your dog is, if you stop feeding it and it's near your chickens, it will kill and eat them, for example. Willpower is just mastubatory ego shit we made up to attach to actions to make us feel like we're in control (or to shame/blame others).
>>735134045I try and build alone like twice a year but I have a narcissistic trait where while I like building things for myself according to my own vision, if I don't have anyone to show my creations to my drive to keep working on projects dries up quickly and takes a long time to recharge.
>>735160551But the original point of the post was about doing things without needing the approval of other people, which you weren't able to argue against, so I came up with an even lazier response to match your shitty reply. Keep believing you are immune to propaganda just because you learned the latest twitter buzzword tho.
>>735161146More effort as in actively try not to instead of doing whatever you want. That still takes more effort, even if it's not as involved as building a house. A lot of apps actively try to form habits because they're designed to be opened frequently and used for a long time. If someone has that habit, they have to specifically want to break it.
When I build in minecraft I make artificial caves on mountain walls with inner waterfalls and glass floors and walls with chasms below, vines and moss on most walls too.Then kilometers of railways.
can someone give me a qrd on vintage story?
>>735162121Minecraft but even more autistic edition.Everything is an ordeal which makes it satisfying.
>>735162121instead of digging down to get the best items in the game in 5 minutes there's an actual game
>>735162121Minecraft built in an actual language and not java so it doesn't run like shit despite looking better.
>>735134045wow people who arent insecure narcissistic attention whoring faggots really exist? impossible!
>>735160380Why do you think this happens?
>>735135247laughing is a public behavior, so thats normal. people only tend to laugh out loud when others are around. you're not broken. or special
I find Minecraft more enjoyable alone. It’s like my own little world all to myself where I alone am God. Meanwhile, when I play with other people I’d be coming out of a cave after finally finding my first bit of coal only to find my buddy just build a mob spawner, villager prison, and has already strip mined and discovered every single structure in the world
>>735134336I would go to the movies alone if there was a movie I really wanted to see (but there hasn't been in the last decade).Going to a bar or restaraunt alone is strange to me because I would prefer to drink or eat alone at home rather than do it alone in public.
>>735134045I always thought these types of games would make for great MMORPGs.
>>735135247I believe it honestly. Had a couple 4chan friends on discord who would send me like ten tweets a day. Literally the most random shit with no consistency whatsoever. And no comments attached either, no “haha look at this funny thing i found online” or anything, no, just literally the tweet by itself with no further comment. It’s like they can only live their lives through other people. My own mom always shows me tiktoks she found funny and brags about her comments getting likes. My sister in law blogposts constantly on our family WhatsApp group chat. My little brother constantly rants about sportsball and how Tyrone Niggerson got scouted to the Philadelphia Cotton Pickers or whatever the fuck. It’s like they can’t acknowledge that something happened unless somebody else acknowledges it as well. I genuinely think being able to live a solitary life is a superpower
>>735162817I'm not sure but if I had to guess it's a combination of generational differences combined with social pressure.It makes sense that social things would propagate and persist while non-social things don't.Consider a silly idea, 100% of people are extroverts, because when sampled the introverts were nowhere to be found.If you have people going around loudly saying it's bad to do things alone it makes sense the idea would convince average people.Even if those people were originally in the minority and society was different before.Today is weird because you have the internet where all generations and walks of life are clashing their ideals.So even if it's like little girls pushing this silly idea to their friends on twitter, you have people that don't know them reading it and thinking it's a normal typical way to be.I guess? I don't fucking know.One of my cousin's told me he only cares about people's reactions to things and nothing else. I don't think it's even possible for them to have emotions except vicariously.

>>735134957Shut up and give me my popcorn, wagie
>>735134045You’re a little bitch. Games aren’t for you.
>>735135247>these replies What the fuck? I’m the most solitary person ever and I still laugh out loud on my own. Sometimes I’ll be in my own bedroom and start cackling like a madman over some funny shit I see wherever. Am I autistic?
>>735137118Sometimes I just really need a beer after work. There’s this bar on the way to work I’ll stop by in maybe once a month or two and, good Lord, that amber ale hits the spot after a long day. I don’t care if the bartender or the other patrons give me weird looks, I need my fucking beer
>>735163713I'll let you judge if this counts as alone or not.I watch a live stream and it's the only thing that makes me consistently laugh loud enough the whole neighborhood would hear it.Outside of that it's rare that something is genuinely funny enough to make me lol but it does happen.
>>735139903Based. A real man doesn’t have to prove it to anyone
>>735134045Why are they like this? Why do they need constant gratification from others? Why are they so fucking attention starved?Like fuck, I play this shit alone all the time because I don't want cunts wrecking my stuff. Hell sometimes I just boot it up and build random shit out of pure boredom.
>>735140406this. I watched Happy Death Day and Sonic 3 alone at the theater and they were the comfiest experiences ever. I don’t mind going to the movies with others, but generally speaking I just prefer not getting dragged around by or having to drag around someone else
>>735134882There just haven't been any good movies out. I haven't seen a movie in a theater since 2018 and I'm only going to the kinoplex next month because my uncle produced a religious docudrama that will be screened for Fathom Events.
>>735161926Yeah, I think you're missing my point. I'm talking more about the fundamentals of free will. It's like telling someone who is addicted to heroin to "just stop bro lol".Not defending the behavior, in fact I agree with you, but it's not simple for people to break an unwanted behavior - if it was they would just not do it.
>>735163424It is, but is it rewarding? Everyone here is a bitter mess.
>>735134882>>735164226This. I don't care for marvelshit and everything else comes to video or same day streaming so fast I don't have to wait long. This isn't the 90's or early 2000's where you had to wait months for the VHS or DVD to come out. Last movie I wnt to see was Godzilla Minus One.
>>735163992pick up a hobby like drawing or sculpting instead of these worthless time vampire building games.

>>735157809>Imageboards are not a replacement for actual socializing.they are LITERALLY that, just like a woman getting a dog is a replacement for not having a baby
>>735134336Kids these days have gooning sessions together. They literally can not do anything alone. Even reading a book needs at least four other people in discord.
>>735134045>only 8 minutes long
The weird thing is that Minecraft horror videos are always about not being alone, they're never about actually being alone.
>>735149530then another shooter comes in and kills himthank me later m night
>>735156170kinda agreeThere's nothing wrong preferring single player games if you consider how many tryhards, assholes and cheaters there are in multiplayerBut most people here are delusional if they think they're some sort of sigma lone wolf badass4chan IS social mediahow many people here would go crazy in a few days without internet?I tried to quit 4chan many times and ended up just watching youtube instead, which is kind of a social media too (not the videos exactly, but reading other people's comments etc even though I don't have an account there)
>>735140128>it seems every place is either for 100s of college kids to swarm on weekendsThat’s a plus not a negative. Why do you want 30+ year old women?
>>735134291I cry in nature at it's majesty and grace. I weep at the beauty we have allowed invaders to destroy. We are not the same, you rat
>>735134957>Used to see a movie every two weeks give or take>Havent been to the movie theaters in years.>In fact haven't watched a new movie in years as wellI can't tell what it is, if movie theaters are an outmoded concept or if they would still be going strong if there was anything worth watching.I hope Robert is still doing alright these days.
>>735164702>Self aware enough to understand that he only cares about other peoples reactions>Somehow doesn't see this as a problemHow old is your cousin? This seems like a incredibly young persons mentality, if he is an adult I cannot comprehend his mind.
>>735164226It's best to go with friends these days and make fun of how shit the movie was after, or during since theaters are usually empty. I saw the Until Dawn movie with two friends. Just the three of us in the theater and it was a blast laughing and talking shit about the movie
What is the psychological horror of building alone in Minecraft?

>>735164651That was before we arrived at late stage capitalism. Capitalism isn't some constant. Marx predicted this would happen 160 years ago.
>>735166028You're absolutely right
>>735134882It’s much better in your own. No idle chatter before, no listening to the other persons analysis after. And most of all, no listening to them chew popcorn.
I'm a zoomie and I got a funny interaction with much younger zoomies while playing alone on a DayZ ripoff server in MTA (GTA SA multiplayer).Some Russian project had a couple of svs and all of them have lots of cool stuff to do like quests, collecting tons of added in weapons, unique enemies in certain locations, etc. and all the other younging zoomies were doing nothing but the same boring 1v1 or clan vs clan pvps at the military base.I managed to survive for 100 hours with my character and those Brazilian cunts kept coming to my base chugging grenades trying to kill me and kept calling me a "tyrant" for not doing their gay ass pvp and actually enjoying the 90% of content they never get to see. Every time I logged in some asshole from their clan was on and started throwing shit trying to kill me but my base was stacked full with food and water. They kept screaming random shit in the proximity VC and kept calling me weird things for not doing pvp.Playing alone is a kill that mindbreaks the poor multiplayer-focused cretins.
>>735167365>>735167946These are legitimate things that would be scary but they don’t happen in unmodded Minecraft.
>>735169431The drunken freeloader? People have been talking about "late stage" whatever for hundreds of years, and it's just as likely as his rant about state mandated sex.
>>735170419Zoomers turn MP games into clip farming mills, makes playing with or against them pretty boring.
>>735170756Yeah, this content sucks. Shitty editing and mediocre music. Hundreds of videos just going to the same spot and doing the same 1v1 thing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-_vGTnhCkQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsrsfSxYKekhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VlOTdUv2O4

>>735134045Why are people so insane they can’t do anything alone?
>>735166825It's a videogame that doesn't have actual people and stops existing when you quit, much like every other singleplayer game ever made
>>735134045did you build with your legos alone or did you always have someone else with you?

>>735170627>all of his predictions come true>capitalist bots instinctively jump to defend the system they're complaining about for free like groomed pawns>it couldn't possibly be capitalism, it has to be something else, my capitalist friends wouldn't lie to me!lolif nothing else, the dude is based for making cucked slaves seethe over one hundred years later
>>735171882>all of his predictions came true!>but if you disagree or argue with me in any way, you're a capitalist shill>see, I'm right!
>>735172260>I'm right because umm, erm, he's just wrong OK! It's actually trannies that are to blame because that's what the capitalists told me!lol
>>735134045holy fucking shit I am so glad I was born before smartphones, holy God damn shit
>>735171674I went to my friend's house because he was the one with the lego collection.
>>735171882Move to North Korea if you love communism so much.
>>735173330I don't love communism though
>>735136083Kek
>>735171882His predictions haven't come true, literally no society has ever followed his predicted roadmap for how communism would develop.
>psychological horrorLol, we've really screwed up natural selection and turned humanity into a bunch of wimps who get scared of their own shadows.
>>735174194>they just haven't ok!!!Anyway, let's focus on how much you love capitalism right now, because remember, this is all about you and your relationship with your world.Are you having a blast?
>>735143139that's true even with multi unless you are playing on a populated server with new people coming in all the time. In 2012 I spent a week with my roommate making a small town a few hours a day after class and when we were done we never logged into the server again. Same thing happened a few years later when I joined around twenty randoms making finalizing their city build, once it was done the server kinda died. It's only interesting if you endlessly add projects or if there's a server-wide RP/objective that makes use of your builds.Your last point I am feeling more and more as I age though, just too aware of it all being digital and useless so I can't enjoy the grind or build anymore.
>>735134045you guys have friends to play with? lmao
>>735164232i find that a lot of it is contextual habit though, I have a bad habit of doomscrolling various feeds when I wake up but when I'm visiting my parents they have a ton of chores for me in the morning so I don't do that, don't miss it at all. But as soon as I'm back on my own I start it up again.Of course this doesn't compare to actual hard addiction but it might be a factor.
>>735140161there are already AIs that play minecraft but they are really stupid and paid
>play majority of my games alone>as I'm playing just make up little lore shit as to why I'm doing what I'm doing>keeps me occupied when I have free time to play vidya or a day offProbably autistic but I don't mind playing MP games alone. Also had shit experiences with retarded mods or admins and I just want to avoid the headache of some fag getting mad I built something or play in a way he didn't like.
>>735174194Of course not.Marx's "knowledge" is, by modern standards, literally pseudoscience. Modern followers of Marx are completely indistinguishable from religious people. They start from the assumption that their prophet was right, so nothing will make them change their minds. They'll see the "prophecies" come true even when reality is vastly different from what their charlatan prophet predicted.
>>735162846I laugh out loud on my own at movies all the time
>>735163236>I genuinely think being able to live a solitary life is a superpowerit can become a curse as well though, if you're satisfied being on your own most of the time you won't actively seek out others which can gimp your career/love life/socializing long term.
>>735164226I used to go twice a week back in the 2000s but now only go whenever I meet up with friends, the tickets are just too damn expensive
>>735134957Please Robert, I'm just down on my luck right now, I promise I won't make a habit out of this. I'm okay, really.
>>735134957>Go to the movies alone>Can go super early in the morning when nobody else is there and tickets are cheaper>Can just relax and when it's over I have the whole day to do whatever>Go with friends>Have to plan everything around their schedule. Sometimes end up late to the movie because of it>They constantly talk and quip through the entire thingI very much prefer going alone nowadays.
>>735134336zoomers are so brainrotten and conditioned by social media that doing things or even THINKING on your own is alien to them
>>735134957ROBERT LEMME IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>735163126>Going to a bar or restaraunt alone is strange to me because I would prefer to drink or eat alone at home rather than do it alone in public.This. Those places are only nice if you have someone to shoot the shit with.
>>735175471Different environment, different triggers. How do we get ourselves into those environments or expose ourselves to those triggers? Well, that's another set of environmental factors and triggers in my opinion. You *know* you could leverage the visits to detox from a bad habit, but you don't - why? It's not a lack of will power, discipline or any synonym, it's just that you happen to be a bag of meat reacting to stimulus in the way your brain developed to react.People like to think we have control over decisions, so we call it free will. You visiting your parents is triggered by a behavioral loop that reacts to specific stimulus. It just so happens that the cascading effect leads you to what you feel like will improve your life (kicking a bad habit).Did I ever have a point? I don't know, I'm drinking hazy IPAs so it's all a bit fuzzy. I guess I'll just go back to how people don't do these things just because they have the idea in their heads, they have to be properly motivated and dictated by those pesky glands.tl;dr you're predisposed to doom scroll and you're predisposed to being annoyed by it but it's going likely going to take some external factor to properly motivate you to quit that shit and life is just a pointless simulation. the end.
I don't need to watch the video to know that its just a video essay about an inconsequential topic with clickbait but how would this be any different from drawing or painting alone or even making trainsets or gunpla on your own or something.
>>735176662Even then it's not nice. You're paying like 500% markup on alcohol lmao. It's a fucking trap. Just go buy a bottle of vodka and meet up at one of those tables outside of the place or something jfc
>>735134045I'm building for myself.
>>735166565Late 20s married with kids.
>>735176759Oh yeah, bars are turbo gay. They're way too crowded and loud. Drinking at home with the bros is infinitely superior.
>>735138815This is what we call parallel play where kids play within vicinity of each other but never really interact. And then they go back home and tell their mom how much they built that new hideout together
>>735139903true that. I just climbed the highest mountain in Mississippi today, Woodall Mountain. No oxygen, no sherpas. Just because.
>>735134045For me personally it's making narrow winding rollercoaster-like redstone powered minecart tracks with a few scenic views and a few stops for mining different layers. It's not really necessary but I like having my aboveground house and then my elaborate bat cave entrance sequence. It's a shame I've never found mods that make Minecraft a game I enjoy playing because just the building is nice, but I wish there was some questing or npcs or better combat or anything to give block stacking some context
>>735136434Leftoids ("jews") are grooming a populace of compliant and oversocialized retards who can't function without constant company and affirmation.These are the pathetic and feeble sort of "last men" Nietzsche spoke of.

>>735134045Never heard of prison?
>>735134336After having a bitchy "Princess Treatment" girlfriend for a cool minute, going alone to a restaurant and ordering myself a steak and whiskey is one of the most therapeutic experiences in life. Making it at home even more so, but some nights I just like to have it easy.What's everybody's go-to alone-time game? Mine is Noita.
>>735135247>he can't laugh from seeing something funny if he's aloneLmao what the fuck>>735160001FUCK YOU
>>735176346>Work was next to a theater>after work just go there and not go home >got out of work around 2 pm so no lines for tickets, could fuck around in the arcade, no lines for snacks, no lines for the bathroom, empty theater so get to pretend like it was my own personal home theater and sat where ever, no one talking or eating loud, no kids since I went to see R rated movies. Good times.
>>735134336These zoomies need other people to talk to themselves, they call it "podcasting", gayest shit I've ever heard.
>>735177304>noita
>>735134336social media has cranked up peer pressure 1000%. imagine growing up like that.
>>735134336im a millenial approaching 40 and i was once refused a movie ticket because i went aloneim not jokingthe manager came out and told me in a very quiet voice that i couldnt purchase a ticket since i was there aloneno i do not look like a freak or a madman
>>735177814My natural inclination is just to reject it now. If you grew up with it though, you probably literally view it as a requirement for life.
>all those friendlets copingdamn, no wonder you cucks are still virgins
>>735134336I've been to all these places with either one friend, a small group of friends, or by myself. All were more fun by myself, with the exception of a restaurant because I'd rather just eat at home anyway.Bars on my own are great experiences, I get a beer and some duck fat fries and just watch Sports in my corner, give a greeting to anyone who sits next to me and enjoy my time
>>735177884This never happened.
>>735134336why would I do any of those things alone?
>>735134045nigga i have almost 30k hours and counting on steam alone and i can count the amount of times i've shared something i've done on one hand. i enjoy being alone.
>>735134336you mean you go to PUBLIC places alone? fucking weirdo lollmao
>>735134045>do people actually draw alone?>like actually alone? no drawpile, no friends, no stream, no video, no fans..? no twitter/pixiv post even? >ALONE alone??>people actually do this..??Yeah.
>>735177304Dragon's Dogma, exploring with my pawn or going through BBI at a slow pace is comforting.

>>735178124> i enjoy being aloneThis is never not cope. Humans are social animals.I mean, if you want to save face, at least say you're making the best of it. You aren't fooling anyone, probably not even yourself.
>>735177304Deep Rock Galactic, just turn my brain off and blast bugs. Used to be sniping on 2042 but the game is too dead now, just before I stopped playing I kept running into the same 4 man squads steamrolling the map every night.I wish I was good enough at Noita to enjoy it as a comfy game, I just keep putting myself in situations where I die to obscured barrels or off-screen projectiles blindsiding me
>>735179264Trying to normalfag shame anons is the easiest way to spot newfags
>>735177884Why? I go to the movies alone and have never once even had the cashier or usher mention anything about it, they dgaf. See plenty of other solos in there as well, mainly if you go in the afternoon (unemployed, service industry or people dodging their job)
>>735177884was it a kids movie?
>>735145684obviously, he's not the type of person to do that since he's flat out asking for advice. are you retarded, by chance?
>>735179401I honestly don't think so. I don't think we get many newfags these days besides mossad agents.
>>735178173it's cool that you're stunted and need to live your early adult years with training wheels but could you not shame people for being less of a bitch than you are? thanks
>>735178262>beamngI really wish they had a transparent/wire-frame option for VR/FPV mode, as well as a track minimap.
