I play the weirdest shit
Paradox
Ok normie
Yeah, Paradox games are great!
If you pirate all the DLC
Okay but normies don’t play Paradox either, so what gives? I don’t want to play “dwarf fortress” or some fuckin “blowjob factory 2: electrification” or whatever it is channers consider weird, but I like playing “The Fire Rises” for HOI4 and I can’t exactly talk to Jock Josh and his friend who’s into spider man and DND about “yoo in the game you can kill penguinz0 as atomwaffen division isn’t that crazy”.
Honestly nothing ever has been more of a disappointment to me than anyone who plays Civ or tabletops of any kind, they always have absolutely no sense of fun and they’re always extreme turbonormies, especially if they’re fantasy people, good lord I’m sure there’s lots of good fantasy media out there and I’ve enjoyed plenty myself (Berserk), but it either attracts the most simpletons or being into it turns you into a simpleton over time or something idk. They only know their dumbass DND, no they won’t play something actually cool like Cyberpunk Red, no they won’t help me try to DM it, they only like their DND and that’s it, DND that, or DNDeezNuts this, it’s aaaaaaagh.
In case you also wonder like op why no one likes you, it’s probably the elite snobbery and superiority complex.
Dwarf fortress is amazing. I had the best time playing it.
Try being an actual full blooded native person.
I’m 100% Ojibway, my parents on both sides were born raised and lived in the wilderness. I’m the first generation born in a modern hospital. My first language is ojibway, I spoke it exclusively for the first 15 years of my life. We learned English in school but we all spoke ojibway at home. I learned to hunt, trap, fish and live on the land from my parents and I love spending time outdoors. It’s all natural to me.
Now I live close to the city in a non native world. My wife is white and we spend most of our time to ourselves.
My family doesn’t think I’m native enough. White people don’t believe I’m native because I live like a city person. Most people don’t believe I’m native because I don’t have red weathered skin, a crooked nose and long braided hair. Many people have confused me as Chinese, Korean, or an overweight Thai, Cambodian or Lao. Or even Peruvian, Ecuador or Mexican.
I meet city Indians who have ancestry but have never lived on the land or know their communities or even speak the language yet they wear native stuff, necklaces and everything and get more recognition than me for being native.
I intimidate other natives when I speak my language because it reminds them that they can’t speak other than to know a few words or phrases. So now I seldom speak and as I grow older, the people I could speak to are now either dead, dying or too old.
I get funding as a native person but I get very little. I don’t live in reserve so I’m the last to get funding. I don’t get off reserve funding because I have full status with my community where I could live if I chose to. I get tax off on some things but not everything because I don’t live on reserve and doing my taxes every year is a nightmare, so in the end, I pay just about the same amount of taxes as everyone else and save just a little.
I’ve watched dozens of half breed, quarter breed, 1/8 breed, 1/16 breed natives with scholarships and paid education while I tried to fight for mine and never got it. I got high school but never got more than that.
I even know a couple of blue eyed, blonde Indians who got adopted into a native family and have full status and more help than I ever did.
People keep telling me I’m lucky to be native but I’ve experienced far too much racism and stupidity to be happy about who I am.
I’m neither treated as full native and I’m also not treated as non native either. It’s like I exist in some kind of native twilight zone.
Did this guy seriously try and claim that he’s weird because he plays games produced by one of the largest publishers in the world? Yep definitely can’t get out of his own way.
What the FUCK do you do?
Have you tried getting a boyfriend? I dunno, worked for me.
This fucking normie playing pardox games? Don’t talk to me unless you are at least compiling CDDA from source code on a Linux phone. Fucking casuals.
Is this anyone else’s experience? I don’t fit neatly in any box, I have friends in all of them. I have friends in traditional marriages with the woman as the homemaker, I have all sorts of queer friends. I have friends that think videogames are edgy, others playing D&D every second day, others in sword battle reenactment, others in crochet. Never struggled relating to them or them to me. I moved around a lot, still found “my people” in no time. We are all multifaceted people with a variety of interests and thoughts.
Count your blessings
The part where he talks about video games definitely feels like my experience, at least when it comes to meeting people outside of the context of a specific game and its community.
When I’ve gotten into convos in these situations, usually it’ll be evident they mostly only play some set of the following games:
- Overwatch
- Rainbow Six
- Genshin Impact
- Stardew Valley
- Helldivers 2
- Last of us
- God of War
- GTA
- Red Dead 2
That’s not a complete list, but for the most part it will be a bunch of games like that with a sizeable, committed, “normie” following that I don’t play. I can’t bond with these people over games even though on a surface level we’re both “gamers”, because the only game we’ll have in common is Minecraft.
I think the gap here is that for someone like me or anon, we have interests and want to find people who are also interested in that thing, but from the sounds of your post you’re finding people and getting your interests from them. In the latter case, of course there’s no trouble connecting with people, because you’re more willing to mold yourself to do so.
I have been mulling over your comment for a couple of days.
I think the set up is different. I have a lot of things I am interested in, but none that is fundamental. So I can easily start a conversation over a shared interest, even if the other interests do not align. Sometimes I pick up extra stuff on the way, but mostly I use a limited shared interest to set the foundations from which to develop a friendship. I find that once you get talking for a bit, you don’t need a specific shared topic anymore.
Do you aim to build friendships fully connected to your interests?
apparently the overwhelming majority of gamers just play 1 game series/type, or follow the herd to whatever the game of the momth is
Just become a line cook you’ll be the most normal one there.
The former gang member and former meth fiend who taught me to cook can attest to this. (Different people)
I’m sure they’d upvote this if
- They were on this gay ass forum
- Had enough feeling in their fingers to actually hit the button
But they’re busy being people.
because op doesn’t want to accept his innate normieness.
Stay there long enough and you’ll fuck hot waitresses and hostesses all day long and you’ll realize they’re all more fucked than you’ll ever be.
Get off of 4chan, to start. Keep trying to diversify your friends, find people more open minded than the five you currently have.
Definitely needs to get off 4chan. Weird people who don’t have this crab in a bucket ‘you’re not weird enough if you have a stable job and aren’t ugly’ mentality aren’t that hard to find outside of very specific corners of the internet.
This reads like a young man who hasn’t learned how to do things for his own enjoyment yet.
Fake: X4 is not a videogame, it’s rehab for crazy german accountants
Gay: weird, therefore queer, therefore gay

Screw you, I like my singleplayer-spreadsheets-in-space as a nice distraction from playing MMO-spreadsheets-in-space. Also, I’m Dutch, you ass.
Dutch => Deutsch => German
Same difference
Am german. Went to an economics school (Fachabitur) and fucking hated accounting. I love stellaris though, if only actual accounting would be that fun
What is it with men and their obsession with women anyway? Dude seems like a gigachad but yeah getting friends/gf is gon be tough if suggest giving up and looking elsewhere for meaning.
Are we really at the stage of social collapse where people are confused by guys being attracted to women?
