Yeah, I had seen things like the picture of dirty console poors/PC master race discouraged but not bans.

PC Master Race had had favorable mods/admins for a while, don't know what changed. Probably Steve Youngblood's doing.

[king of the internet]

I don't care about the master race being banned, but mocking console gaming filth should always be allowed.

i only mock dedicated handheld filth

I mock cats that post on videogame forums and yet have the gall to think they can mock people.

I'm ok with hypocrisy and self-deprecation though, obviously.

Same. I don't see the insult in calling someone a hypocrite. Calling someone a hypocrite implies that the person slinging the insult isn't one, which is the biggest joke of all.

Threads about fighting game tournaments always end up sounding racist as hell. I'll take the frenetic and flowing energy over sterile E-sports shit.

E-Sports in general 


EDIT: This thread isn't actually too bad when it comes to labeling the FGC as untamed beasts and savages.

But how else can I spread the word of Chie-chan? 


Is doing anything like that without head phones actually a thing on flights? Never seen that shit. Only on busses and trains where there's some 15 year old, who really wants to share the latest 30 seconds from mars song with everyone.

When it comes to sports, I generally view it how I view art. A ton of shit is art, but the label or term "art" doesn't actually mean much.

Like, bowling, darts, pool, those are considered sports, but they're really more physical "games" compared to something like football, basketball, ect.

Okay, forgot racing. But why is there this push to label video games as sports? What's wrong with just calling them games?

Meh, racing isn't a "sport" to me. It's a skills contest where your car's current ability outweighs your own.

Look at gocarts when you are a kid. Everybody knew the slow one and avoided it like the plague.

The push makes sense coming from competitors, they want games to be viewed as more legit so they can get paid more for doing what they do. However, as a viewer of fighting game tournaments, I give fuck all about legitimacy or people "respecting" what people choose to compete in.

Eh, I think the competitors for E-sports essentially want to get paid for having a really weird and niche skillset. Liking a game and being good at it can be achieved without any money involved, they want some sort of payoff for those skills they developed.

Which is fine I guess, but the sterile, tryhard nature of how E-sports are peddled is what pushes the entertainment factor away. Fighting games have their own culture that is completely different than what's happening with E-Sports.

EDIT: Example:


The fighting game community is more like the Attitude Era of WWF than E-sports.

I'm not arguing against that, where did I say fighting games and fighting game tournaments aren't nerdy as fuck?

My main point is fuck legitimacy and the seeking of it, enjoy watching what you watch and don't give a fuck about anything else. I'm just pointing out why competitors push legitimacy, its for financial gain most of the time, nothing else.

I'm saying don't compare people who work extremely hard on their physical being and mental capacity to compete and understand a sport with a fucking virgin who who can push <- <- -> A faster than a normal person.

Get swag off street fighter brehs.

Who's actually comparing the two? 

I get where you're coming from though. Also, Street Fighter isn't a E-sport  .

Girls make fun of guys and their love of sports ALL THE TIME. The only reason it is accepted as an okay nerddom is because sports players tend to be hot.

But ultimately, there's a thin line between Dungeons and Dragons and Fantasy Football.

It's a shame the thread title tells people that there will be a new program to follow. The meltdowns that would've happened from the people who only read the header would have been great.

Club Nintendo sucked

[mormapope]

DnD is ultimately a social thing, with the abundance of RPG videogames that can be played alone, DnD is a game meant for people to fuck around with.

I searched for Fantasy Football party and THIS came up:

Nah man, Fantasy Football is awesome. DnD seems like it would take a shit ton of work to get together.

Also that pic, lol. Bet PD has one.

[Himu]

Fantasy sports groups DO remind me of DND

DND isn't hard to get together. Go to a shop and ask when they have DND nights.

[mormapope]

Worst part about DnD is indeed getting all the shit needed. Those little miniature figures/dolls are expensive, so using little paper cutouts with a name and portrait is needed. Character sheets with all your stats. A few big ass books that are the correct version with all the info you need (that shit can be found online and tormented if need be). Overpriced grid paper. And finally a boatload of different dice.

Nowadays most DnD stuff can be accessed/used on phones and tablets. Can be pretty exhausting just to play at times.

[Himu]

You don't need figures for dnd at all. Just your character sheet, and piece of paper/pen for the dm, and the current edition book. everything else is extra.

can't wait for fantasy sports to have figures

Who gives a fuck? 

The funny thing about it is and always will be the fucking salt videogame/comic/DnD/al that dorky shit nerds pour over it. "Why do girls like them, they're nerds too "

Hell I'm all about all sorts of nerdy shit but I am also a sports/car nerd as well. At the end of the day, it's the dripping envy one side has over the other.

I just find it funny how they don't categorize themselves as nerds when they know more stuff about their favorite sport than little Poindexter over there knows about computers.  It's just funny. Humans are funny. You don't find that funny? The way people make some arbitrary category on what is and isn't a nerd, when ultimately, anyone who goes down any hobby's rabbithole will find a nerd wonderland is hilarious.

That said, establishing nerd hierarchy is a part of the glitz and glammer of being a nerd!

If sports, music, and car nerds are at the top of the heap...who's after? Politics nerds?

Money isn't TOO required to be a fashion nerd. You can put together some good shit at a low price if you know where to find stuff. The point of fashion nerddom isn't being current, but what looks good.

Also, DND nerds are way above anime and video game nerds. DND REQUIRES socialization.

Yeah, if you go a friend hosted DnD get together and you're antisocial, chances are people won't put a lot of energy into getting that person to come back.

Also, movie and TV nerds weren't ranked. Don't know if knowing what food Tony and Carmella eat on each episode of The Sopranos will warrant positive attention. I've watched that show in its entirety probably a dozen times.
