Your memories of playing a specific game are ruined by bad stuff happening in real life

Calling the cops multiple times on my mom's ex during 2011 and it got so bad that even the neighbors had to call too

>all huddled together crying
why? unless your dad was at the top floor I don't see a reason to cry over something not happening to you
for a country that exports violence and is the only one to actually use nuclear missiles americans act like complete pussies

I was 12 playing MegaMan 7 when my neighbors started having this really loud shouting match that eventually ended in one of them getting shot

EMPATHY BAD

stealth offtopic thread

I basically had no food, shitty internet and was already feeling sick (not cause of covid) when Crash 4 came out

I was getting weekly city meals during that time and they just were whatever resturants or local places wanted to give away food for people struggling. One of which was the tiniest portions of chinese food ive ever seen.

Solatorobo on the ds. My grandma was put in hospice with alzheimers and died

My cat's health was worsening while I was playing call of duty
I don't live alone but still, swear to god I look away for one hour and everything goes to shit, didn't even like the game I just wanted to have friends

Same thing happened to my dog when I was playing RE7. She got really bad. She's doing alright now but I couldn't replay that game for a long time.

Anytime i think about L4D2 i think about the girl i met on TF2 in 2010 or so and i cant recover from it. She always used Ellis by the way.

>Spend like 3 or 4 days at a friends' house in a rural area in the middle of nowhere because my parents are away for their anniversary or some shit
>me and him are playing Kirby's Super Star co op.
>Friend's dad has anger management issues
>He tell us to go to bed and my friend mouths off to him with some typical smartass kid remark because he wants to keep playing the game with me
>Friend's dad flips out and drags him off to another room where I can't see them
>all I hear is the sounds of friend's dad wailing on him with a rolled up newspaper or a magazine for minutes on end while this music still plays in the background as I sit there waiting for it to end, to this day I still think of it whenever I hear it and this was back in the 90's youtube.com/watch?v=glV7T7jIc6Q

What happened? Was it cringe?

Monster Hunter Rise
the sudden and unexpected death of my godfather got me thinking a lot about mortality and the limited time we have left. I couldn't play really grindy games for a lomg time after.

Played 900 hours of fire emblem fates as a terminally online Tumblr NEET that showered monthly.

I'm better, almost normal now. But fire emblem in general makes me cringe by association now and I look down on others that like it as a projection of the hatred for who I used to be.

america moment

Nobody is gonna believe this shit but

I was underage at the time and she really fell for me and her family didnt like that and they literally took their own daughter to court for trying to be with me consensually. The age gap was like 10 years too

>World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
>Make a Death Knight character
>Hear a banging and falling
>My cat who liked to run around fast, tripped and fell down the stairs and died.

fuck I got sad again thinking about it and remembering feeling the warmth leaving his body.

FUCKING HELL

I was in the car with a friend as my mom drove us to my place and we were playing yugioh destiny board on GBA. She suddenly cries on the phone and stops the car too cause she found out her friend died of cancer.

During these "conjugal visits," you can have sex with women?

I walked through blood and bones on the streets of Manhattan trying to find my brother

Not a specific game or a specific event
>Playing game online during the day
>In the middle of a match
>”user, go take out the dog”
>Forced to quit out of current match to not make parents mad
>Take dog out for walk
>Get back in because dog refused to shit
>Get back on game, play it for a bit and get a few matches
>Be in another match
>”user, please help us with the dishes”
>Exit out of game again
>Do dishes
>Get back on game and play for a few minutes again
>”user, groceries!”
This is why I still only play online games after midnight.

I do not wish a worse fate on zoomers than them naming their party members in JRPGs after their family or friends

When skyrim first released I played it with a bunch of guys in a club I was in. I didn't like skyrim and I wasn't really friends with any of them but being around others playing vidya together was fun.
And then we got back from the school trip and I went back to being alone and every time I replay it I remember how much more fun it was when I wasn't alone.

Now that's not fair, I'm sorry you had to go through that user

you're sweet user, the painful memories over time seem to get replaced with the great memories which does make it easier
but i still miss him terribly
love your pets and those you care about as best as you can, cliche but sometimes cliche is ok

I'm much older than the average poster here now, although that wasn't true when I first came here.
I had my first and only panic attack in all of those years watching Kingsglaive and I don't know why.
I guess of all that bad stuff that happened to me in life, having to watching a movie out of a game for in game lore was the straw that pushed my nervous system to the breaking point.

it's okay. it was almost a decade ago. My mom died the next year too. I was staying up late playing video games at 4 in the morning and heard my dad cry out her name.

were you playing kirby while doing that because that would really fit with the thread

When Master Chief Collection came out and i was finally able to play Reach firefight with someone i know online, i got news like a year or so later that they died in a car crash.

Their parent even told me using their discord and showed me the news article and everything.

Damn

I was in the back seat with my brother taking turns playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 on PSP when we crashed head-on with another car that suddenly swerved into our lane. Estimated ~90 mph collision.
The EMTs that arrived kept saying we should all be dead but thankfully our car's frame managed to deflect most of the impact. I'm the only one with a permanent injury, being a scar in my eyebrow and partial loss of control of my eyelid.

These days I refuse to even look at my phone while on the road, driving or not. Having a good time with the family and suddenly waking up to like 30 guys in rescue gear, three fire trucks, and like 2 miles of backed up traffic fucking shook me.

>yeah man we keep the article written about him dying horribly bookmarked on his computer here have a read

Alright user you can post whatever you want but i still keep them added to this day and watch the days since their last steam login go by

Only like 4 states allow for it if you're married and have good behavior while in prison, and you can't be in for domestic violence or sexual shit. But yeah you can have your wife/husband come by and spend time with them, including sex.

>was playing FFX a month after it came out and got to the scene where Tidus and Yuna were in the lake while Suteki Da Ne plays
>female friend calls, she had beat it at release (fuck you, I was poor). 7/10, cute nerdy blond who liked to dress up as Quistis for Halloween
>she hears the music and guesses where I am at
>makes a comment like "wouldn't that be romantic if that was us two?"
>don't remember what I said but it was basically equivalent to "no way fag"
>she ended up married to some fat Navy fag a year or two after graduation
that wasn't the only event like this with her to be fair, but it makes playing FFX really fucking annoying and also fuck that fight with the Ronso in general.

Was he in northern Canada by chance?

Not him, but not unusual. I found out a friend burned to death in a wildfire by someone from her family linking me an article. I assume it's easier than explaining or fielding questions.

Its not that hard to find a specific news article if you know exactly what you are looking for. Victim name, accident and date is enough you will have it within minute

Having your own child die can really fuck you up.

Most of us here have probably inadvertantly no way fag'd a girl at some point, don't feel too weird about it.

I guess I could see that, would've thought it'd be more painful to pull up the article than to just say "yeah he's gone sorry" and hang up

I was playing Nintendo Land i think as my state was getting torn up by a tropical storm and all i remember is actual chunks of buildings peeling away and countless powerline and flooding issues.

at evo 2019 I looked for an afterparty with some friends at the best western and while room hopping we came across a gay orgy with like 18 dudes. recognized some guys that had played, too

when I think of fgc fags being permanently pissy and argumentative, i just remember that they're likely sexually frustrated homos and it all starts to make sense

The Old Republic. Yeah, I know. Sue me.
Met this girl who was fairly into Star Wars and she convinced to me to join her when the whole thing went F2P. I actually had a lot of fun going through the various storylines. It didn't even feel like the typical MMO experience that initially made me hesitant. We would meet up during the weekends and just play all night. She even got me to play KOTOR 1 and 2 along the way so I could better understand some of the events and references in the MMO. I never realized how good I had it back then. All those fond memories are now overshadowed by her death from cancer. She wasn't even in her 30s yet. Life fucking sucks.

How close were you to see their face?

none, I'm not a fag

i remember playing burnout paradise with my mom crying in the second room and packing her shit
also playing any online games with a penalty for leaving was always stressful due to my father constantly barging into my room drunk and demanding me go help him with some shit, which always ended with him unplugging my pc
also that one time i told my sister its my turn on the laptop because i wanted to play tf2 and she didn't want to let me so my father threw the laptop against a wall

wonder how many shots daigo busted inside justin wong

The new Wolfenstein games.
I was playing the first one when an ex hit me with the "can we talk" text.

I got GTA V the day it released on PS3 but at the same time i was getting terribly bullied by actual sociopaths that were trying to get me to kill myself and i don't know how much sense this makes but playing the game gave me anxiety because i was afraid of time passing too fast while playing and having to go to school again.
