Multiplayer competitive games are a huge red flag for everyone.

I killed several really well going conversations in the past by mentioning that one of my hobbies is to play racing games with my plastic toywheel.

Like dont get wrong i'm fully aware that its not a sexy hobby. But if thats enough to tank an otherwise well going conversation for you then i'm not interested either way.

[–] stinky@redlemmy.com 1 points 5 hours ago

does it have pedals and stuff like an arcade

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

racing sims are a sexy hobby, that shit ain't cheap up front and also it's legitimately a good experience

oh I'm sorry I have a hobby that doesn't require ongoing expenses, takes up little space, and feeds me adrenaline. you're right that if that is enough to tank a convo then byeee

of all the things to be a dealbreaker, playing video games is.. lol. not the kind of person you want to be around. odds are they watch brainrot tiktok and reality TV, right?

racing sims

oh I’m sorry I have a hobby that doesn’t require ongoing expenses

Sim racing is one of the most expensive video game related hobbies out there.

Ask me how I know.🀣 Jokes aside though, if you're not competing in iRacing and you're happy with a decent but entry-level/intermediate wheel its not so bad. It's not hard to blow 10k real fast if you want to though!

[–] definitemaybe@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

Sure, but even so: that hardware isn't going to be obsolete or wear out for a long time.

Compared with going to a concert that can be $10K for 2 people to attend a single show.

Talk to them about vr and theyll want to come over and try it usually

[–] dil@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 24 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I have to wonder if they'd be more interested if you'd said you fly a space ship with a HOTAS (as in Elite Dangerous).

[–] ClassifiedPancake@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Ewww open world. That's as basic as it gets.

At this point I’d rather play CoD than ubislop assassins creed 43 here we go assassinating again

[–] Stache_@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago

COD is a roleplaying game! I roleplay as a stormtrooper that can’t hit shit! I’m pretty good at it

If he has Disco Elysium ask him who his favorite character is to gauge whether he is marriage material.

(Hint: The right answer is Kim.)

When I played this game, my wife was overhearing the dialog and asked me what movie I was watching.

She then later commented how annoying Cuno was.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cuno don’t fucking care, if you find Cuno annoying.

I read this in his voice. I honestly kind of have a soft spot for him. He has a tough life.

While I get the stereotype you're talking about, I feel like this is a bit mean. Idk. Maybe I'm a bit biased because my stepbrother is basically a halo only type of gamer, but he's also a decent human being.

Similarly I'm not gonna shit on my old roommate, who basically only played the sims.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I hate the Sims cause my sims always end up living a better life than me.

Your stepbrother's judgement depends on which Halo he plays, he still has a chance

Look at you, so nice and sweet

It's a meme champ, nobody's being serious, you don't have to light your candle of reconciliation

Any. The punchline is self-explanatory.

That’s why I still leave up the OG RuneScape login page on my monitor.
