Post those real life stories that made you lose faith in vidya

This

Not really vidya related but this made me lose faith in humanity in general
>be me
>be 18
>need a job
>dad knows a place
>it’s a porno store in the seedy warehouse district
>there’s a backroom with a tv for watching pornos, a shitty torn up couch and a trash can and a roll of toilet paper
>working one night
>nerdy pencil neck guy covered in pimples comes in
>pays with a WoW credit card
>few minutes later
>an old man comes in, looks maybe in his 80s
>also pays to go to the back
>after about 10 minutes hear some muffled sounds and stuff moving
>remember that the boss told me if people are caught fucking the feds can shut them down
>go to back room
>find old man balls deep in the nerd
>they run out even leaving their clothes with some semen dripping out of the nerd’s ass
I quit that night

this is actually fucked up

What the fuck

Ill try to restore your faith with a story of my own:
>be me
>be an absolute club hopper
>go out way to much
>also have a tendency to lose things
>have brand new fucking phone
>cost 900 out of pocket
>lose in club
>assume it's gone forever
>go up to bar asking if anyone turned it in
>zero hope
>to my fucking amazement, yea, someone did
feel better

This happened to me twice in a row on the same day at an arcade.

Bless ye other people.

y'know what, i'm beginning to think old people are just terrifying and horrible in every way possible

Don't go to gaming clubs, they are cancer

>900 for a phone
Unless if it can Emulate 3ds well, you are freaking retarted for buying something so expensive. You are a complete faggot if you bought an Iphone. You should Ideally waste at most 200 for a phone since they get outdated quickly no matter the specs.

Also How TF are you so careless of forgetting something so expensive that can fit into pockets

It was still wholesome that the jackass did not steal it and actually gave it to the almost useless "lost and found". You arr lucky you did not have to buy a new one

Why are old people so disgusting?

>looks maybe in his 80s
You know those stories about old people walking around locker rooms naked because they're old and written off by society so they don't give a fuck anymore? It's probably the sexual equivalent of that. You think he gives a fuck about getting caught saggy-balls-deep in some pasty nerd?

Probably not, he probably will fuck whatever is willing

You deserved it retard.

I’ve never seen that pasta in my life

Fuck you Ethan, I just wanted some pizza.

Imagine being so much of a megabeta that you spend 2 weeks at a girl's house so she can "vent" to you and then get vent cucked to another fucking beta.

The moral of the story is, don't be girls' emotional period pad because they won't respect you for it and you will never, ever get pussy. Non-sexual motional support is what OTHER GIRLS are for. If you're not fucking her, there's no benefit in emotionally supporting her because she won't do the same for you.

The only vent you should be interested in is the one between her legs that you stick your dick into. Fuck sake.

I don’t mine memecoin

you need to train harder. I won one match 2-1 in pools and lost 2-0 every other match in my first tournament. just go if you find it fun, the entry fees are never too high

I hear showering lowers your power level, might wanna skip doing that a few days before the tourny

Rather not go down that path.
Next you're gonna tell me to use fire emblem characters and forward air spam.

That was the day Yea Forums, that was the day AAA died for me. That was the day I started waiting for any game I wanted to play drop into the $20 bargain bin first.

Come on user, be a little nicer to girls.
Of course none of them are actually interested and know anything about games, all they want is to larp to forget about their daddy issues.

what is it about vidya that women don't like? It just blows my mind that there's this huge dichotomy between genders

Good pasta

thats what you get faggot

I haven't lost faith in pre-2010 games, they're still good and hold up to this day
Anything after that is pretty much lost cause

I started playing a mobile game recently that I find fun to play but it has so much bullshit predatory microtransaction crap that it makes me vomit, it matches you up with players that have used money onto the game so your F2P account feels inferior, if you run out of any resources the game instantly gives you a prompt to buy more of those resources, it keeps giving you these 10-30 dollar deals to lessen the grind and the gacha percentages to get good characters are so rigged, I still don't mind, I will overcome the challenge even as a F2P player

persevering as a F2P in mobile games is one of the manliest things you can do. You have my support

i bought into the hype for Destiny 1 and The Division 1.

I expected more along the lines of talks about on disc DLC and stuff, but okay.

>get really into vidya in the past few years
>have a couple of friends, we play csgo together
>eventually want to branch out to other online games
>every few days i go through steam's recommendations to find new games for us to play, every time i find something they give a bullshit excuse as to why they won't play it
>"no i don't want to play broforce because it's 2d", "no i don't want to play deep rock galactic because it looks boring", etc.

>mainstream games pushing more and more the whole online multiplayer thing, everywhere i look there's a game with at least a coop mode
>eventually stop playing csgo with them and they just play lol instead
we meet every once in a while to play board games but that ends up going badly as well because the friend who brings all these board games never reads about them at home and we have to learn how to play when we already meet, last time we learned how to play nations for 3-4 hours and i played with them for 20 minutes but i got tired and had a headache so i went home
in short i lost faith in online games and having friends, i only play tf2 and singleplayer games now

He was the lucky one.

how'd he die?

Died in his sleep at the age of 21. Cherish what you have, anons. Life comes at you fast.

honestly that's more terrifying than depressing. I'm sorry for your loss

Do you not know where he lives? Go to his house and beat his ass or something like what the fuck are you doing? I will never get these kinds of stories where a "friend" will come over to play vidya and then steals the console or a couple of games and dips out and then the person telling the story doesn't do jackshit about it.

I have a story that restored my faith:
>friend asked if I wanted to go to his house to play some rpg
>It was my friend, a guy I hated and a random couple
>Things get chaotic quickly, the couple starts making loudly on the counch, my friend is so tired that he just slept on the floor, it's just me and the guy I hated
>Somehow I had my old snes and a copy of street fighter 2 turbo in my backpack
>Asked the the guy I hated if he wanted to play
>We had lots of fun playing until 4 a.m.

I joined Yea Forums’s Yea Forums

This board made me lose faith in videogames. Every day again and again.

This

this was all around 2010ish or so can't remember... between 2011 and whenever Siege was announced, I guess.
>Ubisoft has official forums for the last remaining Rainbow Six faithful still playing Raven Shield
>we all clamor on the forums and set up multiplayer nights, share maps, etc.
>Patriots gets announced right as our numbers started dwindling
>old timers and new age Vegas series fans suddenly gather round and speculate
>Ubisoft takes notice, hires staff to monitor forums
>we all notice this and take the initiative to spoonfeed the developers
>hold weekly tribunals and decide on the penultimate wishlist of what we want
>but more importantly, what we DO NOT want
this shit was organized too, we had an entire index so it was easy for them to follow along
>patiently await for new information, feedback, whatever... nothing
>months go by, multiple E3s go by, no word from Ubisoft for years
>suddenly, pre-orders are canceled and people start jumping ship, still no word from Ubisoft
>ask if the game is canceled
>"we will let you know when more information becomes available"
>ask repeatedly, and that's all we get in response

for context, that was the only response we got for 2-3 years at that point, that "gameplay demo" they released was just an attempt to save face

>E3 rolls around several months later
>Siege is suddenly announced
>along with The Division
Ubisoft fucked the Rainbow Six community so hard that they ditched their own official forums and moved over to reddit. I'm not even kidding.
They told us to move over to reddit so they could pretend that their blatant mishandling of their own fans, the only existing Rainbow Six community, never happened. Notice how r/rainbow6 is for Siege and Siege only. Disgraceful.

Get this game user, it's really decent there's two versions, the pay once get the whole thing and the free version. To my knowledge I don't think it has ads in either version, just one has more items to work with. It's a space flight sim where you launch shit off earth and build things in space, there's no missions it's just a sandbox, but it comes in handy when you want something to pass the time.

This game was pretty great but the final "boss" was even worse than 3's

Companies love to have reddit be the main point of discussion now since they can openly stalk their fans and gather a shitload of data.

if he's in a coma why did he get a backpack, let alone received anything at all

It might seem bad, but give it time. Jokes like that either get forgotten or are remembered fondly, even if it seems in poor taste or too dark.

Won't keep you from beating yourself up over it for years to come, but yeah. Nobody else thinks it's as bad as you think it is.
