Why does Jow Forums hate video games?

Attached: nvps4vxb1.jpg (800x450, 18K)

Jow Forums isn't one person but I am the collective of Jow Forums.
We don't really but we dislike reddit gamer culture, and we hate people discussing video games here because /v/ exists.

makes sense

It's popular.

1. They're childish
2. They are usually proprietary and use DRM
3. /v/edditors are annoying and shouldn't post here, you have four boards about video toys. Use them.
4. they hold back hardware development
5. Most /v/edditors use Windows, which means they want to discuss that awful malware when they come here

bet you're fun at parties

I am.

I have nothing against video games in general per se. While I don't do it very often, I do play some old, retro games since I find them fun and entertaining. Anyone who dislikes classic LucasArts adventure games has no soul.
Now, modern gaming, that's a different story. I have yet to see a modern game that is actually any good.
And no, this isn't sour grapes. My desktop machine is more than capable to run them well. I just choose not to, because I think they are shit.

Why does everything need to be softcore porn order for that board talk about something and when its not that its nostalga bait games that only keep intact character names and mentally embed melodies?

understandable, I regularly replay Pokemon SoulSilver because a) it's my favourite and b) all modern games are the same old shit.

you talking abut /v/?

I don't hate videogames, but I do hate the third world niggers and spics from /v/eddit that come here to post Wojaks and hardware war shit.

Jow Forums hates the idea they have of reddit gamer culture though

Playing games is considered a waste of time, and that's time you could spend choosing better programming socks and and ricing your desktop

I only play flight simulators such as Falcon 4 BMS

Kek

Hardware is technology, rajeev

Because manchild.

Depends on the topic.

Jow Forums wishes they can play video games on their GNU/loonix running on their 2nd hand x220. They can't help but be bitter by what they can't have.

have sex

Baste

I don't :3

This.

because video games are for redditors and chrilen and Jow Forums is full of mature adults who don't have time for hebrew distractions

parties are degenerate

>4. they hold back hardware development
How?

video games are accelerating hardware performance and are the reason cpus and gpus keep getting faster
dont listen to bitter freetards who cant run games on their weak ass linooks system

System requirements for video games is a fast moving target. Modern ones don't work so good on my toasters. It's of small consequence if they're discussed or not. I don't necessarily hate video games.

I don't hate video games per se, but rather all the fuss and snake oil produced around them that characterize video games as an entertainment industry like movies or music have become long ago. Goes to say that it's the industry that I blame for that useless noise.

Games are made for consoles 1st and pc's second

What is reddit gamer culture?

fpbp

and yet they are best played on pc

They're the reason x86 processors are still being produced.

well yes, but the game tech will always be limited to what the consoles hardware can run smoothly

Normies dont need anything stronger than an arm processor for their laptops
professional users and servers actually need x86 cpus

Proprietary software

Games are mostly a time sink, and some of us are productive, have jobs, have lives outside a computer. It's true. We don't hate games, but when we see someone blowing 90% of their free time in them it's troubling.
But that doesn't explain the vitriol. Well remember I said "some of us". I'm talking about the 10% of Jow Forums that's been here a while and knows some shit. 50% of this board are parroting kiddos who see our distain for life wasting gamer culture, and turn it into a retarded identity war. Meanwhile those kids are spending most of their day installing Gentoo unironically before reinstalling Arch and ricing it some more. They're no better, but they'll fight tooth and nail to say that video games are always worthless and you're always a /v/edditor if you ever play any game.

Video games are for children.

I don't hate games, but I definitely hate /v/edditors and their fanboy bullshit.

As if animu ricing i3 on gentoo makes you any better

>/v/eddit you brainless consumerist of a zoomer

The industry has gone to shit thanks to greed. Most modern games are copies of previous games or just aren't very good/ polished.

only nerds play video games. We're too busy pretending to write code and arguing if this is an anime website only because it started as one in Jow Forums threads all day.

What's wrong with being childish?

Pretty much this, but it's a weeb website. There was much more being discussed than anime, even back then.

We don't, we hate /v/. Jow Forums games are a thing.
