Don't be a sperg.
still,surprises me that they only buy a ps4 for fifa, seems like a waste to buy a whole console for fifa, at least some of them started playing fortnite i avoid playing it because i hate the game.

That said, one day i came to work and this guy that was in the early shift came up to me and before greeting me or anything asked me if i watched attack on titan because some of my coworkers told him i watch anime
i ended up giving him a list of recommendations, samurai champloo, cowboy bebop, ghost in the shell, akira,trigun.
sneed

>Coworkers are at least twice my age and all have families, homes, livestock
>videogames never come up at work
Ha ha, I never have to worry about awkwardness when people are talking about how much they love their wives and homes. Ha ha it's not fucking fair
Moeshit is trash I would never watch that, I just want a coworker who watches Initial D

kek, i just checked and the spanish website still refers to her as a she, get fucked englishfags.
honestly i don't give a fuck about their gender
Oh,ok, you're a cool guy in my book then.
The one on the right finally kicked the bucket earlier this year, "sadly".
Their parents just treated them like technically-living dress up dolls so it's probably better that they die honestly.
The mother writes yearly letters to the doctor that said she should probably just get an abortion after seeing how fucked up they were going to end up, saying how "healthy and beautiful" they are.
I think she was like 11 or 12 or something when she finally died.
Shows like naruto and my hero i can understand. But why hate attack on titan. That show and manga is kino incarnate.
I say 'oof' to everything. Deal with it, Callien.

Why are people so weird
Those dogs know whats up. Just stop breeding master.
friendly reminder that hating popular things doesn’t make you interesting and your elitism towards your sacred vidya/anime/whatever is causing your inability to actually relate to people (which is what you really want deep down but you are too proud/stubborn to admit it)
I don't give a fuck about the gender too but my coworker just said it out of nowhere.
It's even worse when you don't like sports
The goofballs yearn for death but no one listens.

Imagine being so wrong.
>coworker starts talking about HunterxHunter

what do you think is the best of the handhelds then?
what are their names
They look so sad in every picture.
I'm inclined to say com or recoded. But I hated all handheld games.
>co worker watching anime without headphones in the break room
It always puts a smile on my face.
Any recommendations?
how many video games have you made? it's not your hobby, it belongs to the jews in the offices at the top of the skyscrapers. you should have told them what you play and maybe they would have asked you about it. you could have converted them, at least the males.

A coworker talking about video games isn't so bad. A coworker talking about anime? Now that is hell on earth. It's amazing that someone can just go on and on and on for literally fucking hours about some dumb harem shit to people who are not even pretending to listen and never realize nobody gives a shit.

looks like she was 17 when she died. dont know whether to laugh or cry
You're free to like whatever you want but I could never imagine having taste like this. By the end of the first season, one of my most stubborn friends actually apologized for trying to convince me to keep watching past the first 10 episodes.
Usually when I hear other trades talk about video games they are talking about Apex Legends so I tend to avoid the topic. I usually avoid the topic of media in general unless they start it. There was a guy who said he got into anime by watching Sailor Moon with his daughter, he was cool.
Was she really that old? Maybe I'm just going off of the ages I saw when I first found out about them.

When I first started I thought my field was going to have smart people in it, not this shit.
We literally had a yugioh player shit himself and then just walk around asking for trades with actual shit stains still oozing down his pants.
I'm the head of our yugioh department and I've literally never met a yugioh player I liked.
Report them to HR for sexual harassment like I did

This is so fucking stupid. You don't know anything about his coworker. Do people with shit taste just not exist? Do people who are just easily pleased not exist? Can you just not fathom the idea that user met someone who enjoys the diversity in apex?
What if it with yugioh players that attract the absolute worst kind of people?

Me and my gym buddy talk about anime quite loudly like this its very jarring for people around us.
Jealous?
Some women has a poisoned womb and popped out two goofballs.
Despite treating them like vegetable non-objects that they parade around as dress up dolls she gets real angry at the doctor who told her they were going to come out fucked up and sends them a long angry letter every year.
I wonder if she'll still send the letter now that one of them died.
It seems I struck a nerve
I think they were vegies (or close) and the parents couldn't or didn't want to end them, so proceeded to make wacky videos on youtube and cosplay with them because why not
i can't believe that shit is still going, i started at BT03 Japanese release and i feel it should just fucking die already.

The younger one suffers on.
Had a student worker who couldn't hide his powerlevel for shit. Didn't mind since he was a good kid otherwise and no one at my job gives a fuck and I was probably closest to his age even though I'm still like 12 years older than he is so he didn't really have anyone else to relate to. Had to tell him to keep that overt/out-loud loli/DFC love to himself though. Kid's got to learn to keep some shit on the down-low, at least

This is a fairly regular occurrence too, happened with that little british kid last year. Some parents just won't let go even after the brain is soup, and what's even more revolting is how many people side with them.

not really surprising
Protip, if a coworker (ESPECIALLY females) starts complaining about something, offer them an emotional response (like 'that sucks' or 'wow that's so good!') instead of jumping for solutions. Seriously, it makes you seem better to them and stops you from getting involved in solving their stupid problems.
Birds of a feather.
I knew this big black gang banger in school that loved the shit out of fairy tale and Naruto. And the schools drug dealer knew the fire justu hand moves by memory. That was neat.

I'd have literally zeo friends if a guy even more autistic than me didn't come up to me asking me why I was wearing some hoodie.
Now I just have him.
I've been in university for 5 years and I haven't made a single friend. I have acquaintances though, if only because not saying hi is too autistic even for me.
Sounds sad. My friends know I browse Yea Forums and have access to my library of PS4 and Switch games. Whatever you are comfortable with I guess

I fucked up allowing him to know I play vidya. I should have shamed him for liking such childish nonsense.
you've never said ''oof''?
Yes. I've had only one kind of close friend and even then we can go months now without talking to each other as we don't have too many shared interests now and he has light autism and will be awkward about starting conversations. As a kid I suffered a speech impediment that I eventually overcame but it made it hard to talk to kids for some years. From then on I was basically just known as the weird kid but I wasn't "weird" int he way devianart kids and such could at least bond over.
not really. i go to work to make money that i dont spend because i have no interests really. i thought everyone was like this and yall were pretending to enjoy life?
You could try socializing for once, you fuck.
Seriously, the only way I met close friends was going to a club at my college. It takes time but it's worth it.
No, because I'm not a retarded redditor pile of normalfag detritus.
>hey user, did you see the latest episode of I Am Jazz? What did you think?
>Oh you missed it? Watch this video! youtube.com
I have tried. In school I would go to the book club, in high school I did band all four years. Some people would occasionally talk to me but I was never invited to parties and such. I never even went to any of our dances, not even senior prom.
Who the fuck actually says oof irl?
Okay, that's fair. But hobbies are a good way to find a common middle ground between you and someone else. It's significantly harder to relate (and therefore get close to) someone you share nothing in common with.

David Foster Wallace once wrote a piece about David Lynch. In the piece, he coined a new term: "Lynchian". Wallace described a Lynchian tone as "the unbelievably grotesque existing in a kind of union with the unbelievably banal."
He described a husband beating his 1950s housewife to death because she bought the wrong brand of peanut butter. "I told you to buy the JIF," he'd say as he's clobbering her to death. This, he said, would qualify as almost perfectly Lynchian.
I think "I Am Jazz" enters into Lynchian territory. The .webm above shows a simple domestic scene. The women look like average suburban moms. They're relaxing on the couch. One imagines they might be discussing casserole recipes when we cut to them. But it slowly dawns on us that in the living room, with placid expressions on their faces, they're talking about the woman's transvestite son's genitals.
Despite the obvious subtext and the producers' hope to normalize this horror, the average person is totally disgusted. Nevertheless, the viewer is fascinated. We're drawn further into this. The sheer naked horror of what they're saying, the blase quality with which they're saying it, it creates this brutal paradox that almost rapes the viewer's basic sense of what is decent
>Skyrim was almost 8 years ago

Where the fuck do you live user, my mother couldnt care less about anime but she used to deliberately put dragon ball on the tv because it was the only entertaining thing at the time, its one of the most normalfag shows to ever exist.
Sure, I agree with you as well. However the majority of people I've met will just blow you off the moment something you like does not align with them. There are so many people out there that are afraid of new or different things outside of their ecosystem.
>he thinks this entire thread isn't a giant LARP

I'm having a pretty good time. I grew up poor though, and now I live a comfy lifestyle of relative prosperity. I think if you don't grow up in a shithole it's hard to appreciate anything that isn't extreme wealth, because you feel like you're either slipping backwards or stagnating.

Honestly? Yes. If the loneliness is not enough to actually make you want to put in effort and try to make friends, then you won't actually like having friends. There's nothing wrong with that either, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

this. ive kicked it with some great people over the years like this. this old 55 year old retired navy boxer being one of the more interesting ones. used to go over on sundays smoke a bunch of weed and watch nascar. got free boxing lessons gloves and a bag. now im pretty fit. dont just dismiss someone because of trivial shit, and you can learn much you wouldnt otherwise.

IS that the correct way to watch nascar? I've never been able to stomach how repetitive it is.
I mean, I want friends, I just refuse to sacrifice my time to people who are only vaguely like me. I feel like if I wanted I could have been friends with some of the weeb/deviantart kids in high school and such, I just thought the idea of being with such people was pathetic on my part.
Only if it ends with passionate love making.
We had nerds that played Yu-gi-oh in high school, except the normie dudes actually started playing with the nerds as a joke but they eventually started taking it seriously, eventually there were even tournaments and stuff

>I mean, I want friends, I just refuse to sacrifice my time to people who are only vaguely like me.
I know and I'm the same, that's why I'm telling you to give up. You're beating yourself because deep down you know you "should" be social, but you're not and it bothers you. Just accept that you value your free time more than friendship and move on, otherwise you'll always be hating yourself for not going out and socializing even though you don't really want to.
>FIFA
I don't know anything about sports so it's even worse when anything like this is mentioned

The more I read these threads the more difficult it is to me to realize that some things I took for granted as "normiecore" actually are nerdy for most people
What I mean is, when I was 11, literally everyone in my class had yugioh cards, none of them knew how to play it, but they had the cards and watched the show. In highschool half the boys knew about anime, basic shit like Naruto and the like, but no one treated the hobby as something to ridicule or be ridiculed on, now im 23 and the people from highschool I thought they were the most normalfag, which they are, since they have active social lives, girlfriends, studies/jobs, still play vidya and watch anime regularly.
I dont know, maybe I was just lucky.

I don't really care much about them making very entry level and shallow comments, they aren't looking for some deeper understanding of the medium and better examples or their game.
They just want to talk about something they are enjoying lately and then want to hear a little from whatever you are enjoying, the idea is you both walk away feeling a little better and display that you at least care about eachother enough to share some interests.
Do you think normies would be interested in Marvel vs Capcom 3?
