when I dropped playing low iq jeet filled games like dota2 and turned to singleplayer games I realized that video games can be fun.

>>738850296aislop + you don't even play video gameskill yourself
>>738850296I could get into Mensa as a kid but told them no (134 IQ) and Dota 2 is the greatest game ever made.
>>738850296Easier said than done. When you've spent decades playing MOBAs religiously, your brain receptors become fried beyond repair. You can't get real enjoyement out of Single Player slop. Only maybe Souls games when you carry thousands of souls and your heart starts beating faster cuz you're scared to lose them. And the boss fights too can be exciting.But nothing comes close to games like Dota 2. My pupils dilate and heart starts racing just thinking about it. When I open the menu, even without playing, I get excited. The same way a drug addict is excited when preparing his drugs of choice. Or the same way, perhaps, jeets get excited filming themselves dodging trains.And it's gonna be like that forever. No amount of meditation, exercise, nature, etc., will fix this shit.
>>738850296Who hurt you in Dota, anon?
>>738850296>>738850573Being a "single-player" only gamer in 2026 means turning yourself into an isolated NEET and living in the past. Every normal person and their mother plays competitive online games now, you're out of touch if you're still playing offline, and you will get made fun of if you say your favorite game is some Dark Souls or Final Fantasy from over a decade ago.
>>738850296
>>738850296I know a few people who are like this. They buy some literally who busywork shovelware indie games every week just to get achis and move onto the next one. It's not good, it's sad. Not only have they conditioned their reward system to equate spending with happiness but the lack of attention span required to play these games is on par with boomers watching soap operas with early on set brain deterioriation.
>>738852428Can you now post a % of people breathing air? India isn't the biggest ChatGPT user proportionate to their population.
>>738852383>Every normal person and their mother plays competitive online games nowGood thing we aren't normalfags, then.
>>738852271
>>738852383>I must do what everyone else is doing!! I can't seem out of touch!!! The normies won't respect me!!!Absolute state of nu-chan.

>>738852856>>738852919>>738852982>you will be made fun of if you say your favorite game is Dark SoulsIt's a bait retards. Saying that you play soemthing like Elden Ring is safe answer against normies.
>>738852383So your an npc who just follows trends instead of having fun?
>>738850296I did anonI did Never felt better Multiple matchmaker is rigged
>>738852670>All percentages add up to well over 400 meaning it isn't percentage of total users>Literally says % of consumers using ChatGPT in select markets
>>738850296Sounds less like an SP/MP problem and more like you needed to break away from a specific game you were no longer enjoying.
>>738852383Silence gachashit pay pig tranny
>>738852271>No amount of meditation, exercise, nature, etc., will fix this shit.the literal truth of this is that nothing is the cure. stop playing for 2 months and you'll be fine.
>>738852428They just use it to scam people
>>738853014Yes I think it's sad to live at your mom at 30+ and spend hundreds a month to games just to move onto the next one once the game says 100% on "achievements". But that's just my sample pool.
>>738853183blah blah blah
>>738850296>funding steam>buying digital>achievements>ever gave a shit about MOBAswhat does 'enjoys being part of a story' even mean? he plays walking sim slop? state of this faggot
>>738852271Time will fix it stupid retardIf you're weak willed then fuck you lolKeep raging
>>738853223Just wish bro did more with life than spend on digital slop.
>>738853176everything they do is a pretext to scam people.
>>738852383Most people playing competitive online multiplayer games are on the cluster-b personality disorder spectrum.Any sane person avoids that shit like the plague.
>>738850296What are your favorite single player games anon
>>738853539So most normies are actually insane with undiagnosed personality disorders?

BasedI only ever played L4D in singleplayerLouis is my nigga
>play mutiplayer games of any variety>feel like it’s just grind until some number is higher>nobody socialises anymore, MAYBE a shit talk and ragequit once in the blue moon (in the games i play anyway) >realise i could be actually enjoying the world/lore/genre/theme/gameplay of a singleplayer game / solo mode>go like OP and play SP only for years now at this point>get curious about MP again, decide to join a dedicated group if only for the social aspect and always having somewhat vetted looking4game people>join a discord (first mistake, i know)>quickly realise i’m a 30yo unc amongst literal hon trannies (probably close to my age as well), actual 12 year olds, and teenagers i dont wanna hang out with>without fail the mega libtard / tranny is also in a moderator position so #general and #memes is dogshit>try playing the game with these people in the ingame clan join if the game has it>they’re fucking retarded or if it’s a MMO custom character freeroam type game they’re just showing off their female character and idling>promptly go back to SP and maybe a private arma 3 lobby with the IRL guys i know but this is far and few these daysdarn it
>>738853183show us your own home you faggot or stop larping you're on 4chan you're just as much as a loser as everybody else here. Imagine thinking you're better than other people here lmao.
>>738852383sh-shut up! shut up!! dark souls is still new to me!!
>>738854507I don't have my own home. The point is that some people don't even try and then not only try to normalize self destructive behaviour but put it above the rest and take offerings of help as personal attacks against their hedonistic consumer lifestyle.
>>738854919What do you gain from playing competitive games? They are designed like a casino where you can't win anything and only like 1% can actually make a living playing them. Normal people don't respect you either way they think playing video games is gay waste of time, which is true.
>>738855162Just because this thread and OP try to sell you the presumption that everyone who touches competitive games is mentally unwell addict doesn't mean it's true. If anything I see this more in modern single player games especially with the number go up roguelites being hip and then it would make only sense that they would project that thinking onto the groups they don't like. You even said yourself that you won't play them because you can't win. You can't make living out of it. And you can't quarantee being dopamine fed.
>>738852428
>>738855443buddy I have 7k ours in dota I take from expierence
My disdain for multiplayer games comes from the fact any in game communication is watered down with people being afraid of saying anything remotely offensive, and everything takes place on private gay discord servers with formed cliques.
>>738854919>I'm better than you>Prove it>Okay well I don't have a home either>But at least I try unlike youAnd yet you're just as big of a loser and failure as the NEET's you're arguing withReally makes you think huh?
True single player enjoyers ignore multiplayer garbage like trophies and cheevos.
>>738855580Don't care you lost
I dont understand idiots who want a good story in a game. Just read a book nigga.
>>738856165my friend was going on about achievement hunting and i just asked “is the game good” and he goes “meh it was just in my steam library”.my guy, what the fuck why
>>738854481wtf why is this exactly like my experience down to the weirdos idling as female characters.
>>738850296>Story Fake gamer
>>738856342i dunno what it is about character creation and roleplay games, it attracts AGP freaks like flies to SHIT. it’s just super common. from f2p shit, to multiplayer mods, to premium subscription games
>>738855775And you think that's average? There's more multiplayer games to play too.
>>738856165>>738856324I don't mind it in non-narrative games and where the achievement is clearly intended to incentivize non-standard gameplay.
>>738856324Most normalfags who are against piracy oppose it because they won't get cheevos. They don't even know how to play video games, only complete them.
>>738856148No. People who try aren't the same as people who don't. This can't seriously be your thought process.
>>738856608The fact that you don't disable them and ignore them entirely tells me how retarded you are. You can't even think of your own ways to play the game and need some good boy point system telling you how to have fun.
>>738856283
>>738850296>pretends its a retro gamer>its the basic consoomer jak that buys every new garbage fomo game>also the same faggot that upgrades his system yearly>his whole personality is being a gaymer
>>738856641Trying is normalfag cope for failure, you're a winner or a loser, do or do not there is no try
>>738850296what about co-op games?
>>738856916You are the one slotting everyone into winners and losers. You are the failure.
>>738854919I'm gonna tell you a secret: no one gives a fuck about how hard you try, the journey and the process. All that matters is the outcome for the world. If you are on 4chan you can bang a different woman every day, but for the world you'll be a chud incel.
>>738857582Bro is like one of those blackpilled lookmaxing incel 4chan caricatures but real.
>>738850296Already did. So far this I've finished >RE Requiem >Dragon Quest 1&2 HD2D remake >FF Tactics Ivalice Chronicles >Pragmata >Death Stranding 2
>>738852383I literally don't know any "normal" people who play competitive online games, aside from your occasional CoD player (candycrush of competitive games). In fact, the only time I ended up having a coworker/friend who played DOTA in particular, he was a hyper libertarian, heavily alcoholic hillbilly type who could absolutely NOT hide his power level at work and ended up getting fired (after he had just moved for a promotion) over an abortion argument, in which he told all of the women in the store he was at to "get back in the kitchen." So, not only do I think normal people don't play these games, I think playing them comes with more issues than any benefit you can possibly try to assign to them.
>>738857865seethe harder failed normalfag
>>738854919What did Harry Potter in particular do to this artist?
>It's a getting back into CS after layoffs repeat arcStill satisfying to click heads and throw smokes. The camaraderie of a team coming back in the second half just feels good. Way too miserable to play when being a wagie though.
>>738850296Try $8000 setup just to play a game from 2003
>>738859082You work construction?
>>738852383>Every normal person I think you mean everyone under age 22 who thinks game has to be a social experience
>>738850573>Isn't addicted to the same game for yearsLmao, I've been playing the same three games single player for the last decade
>>738859165Nope. AAA game dev scum
>>738856286A good story can make gameplay sections feel more meaningful. In the most basic sense, imagine Mario without the story of rescuing Peach. You're just a random plumber doing random shit. There's no draw.
>>738850296>stop playing MOBAslop>just sit at my desk scrolling 4chan for hours insteadI don't know if I up or down graded
>>738859275Hell, you'd probably have more fun with my idea.
>>738850296>2 headphones
>>738850296>be me>have the competitive gamer itch since was a kid even playing LAN>finally manage to quit mutiplayers in my adult life>the itch starts to coming back because i see a twitch lol tournament, the only thing keeping me from coming back is their spyware>start watching deadlock gameplay and the itch grows stronger>i start looking for deadlock threads in /v/ every time i open it looking for an invite>nothing>"fuck it, im going to make a thread of my own" "why am i thinking that? i have so many cool games to play">finally the itch goes away>open /v/ today>there is a deadlock thread>the crave comes backmultiplayers are worse than crack
>>738850296>to play a game from 1994ftfy
yes
>>738852383Why would you want to be a normal conforming person in this decade? What the hell is wrong with you?
>>738860479It seems more reasonable in this decade than others. You want as much grounding you here as possible. Everyone's floating in their own psychic gas, now, arguing with robots in forums that don't matter. You keep seeing these headlines with people going postal from AI, because the thing is basically a bug zapper for schizophrenics. You don't necessarily need to conform, but you should have some normal things that just ground you, not hour-long 5v5 games where you're held hostage and cyber bullied by a 3-stack.
>>738856701What's the problem with cheevos? I like collecting them. I play a game and hear the dududuuu and get a burst of dopamine.Sorry gramps, I can enjoy games.
>>738850296I enjoy single player games but I don't use a jak AI image to validate my assNext time pick a better bait image
I'm having fun building a factory, at least until the autism strikes and I can't design something that strikes a good balance between being visually pleasing and reasonably efficient
