One of the things that you have to realize is that among gamers, particularly PC gamers, and particularly online PC gamers, the incidence of autism is astoundingly higher than in the general population. Social graces are going to be difficult to come by.

I am only semi-shitposting.

I've been gaming since I was a kid on the NES and there are times when I'm horrified by what gaming has become. There are people who take this shit way too seriously. Sometimes it doesn't seem to be about games anymore. Usually something new comes along and makes me happy, but those moments are getting fewer and fewer. I had my hopes on the indy scene since I've completely lost interest in the current AAA market, but the indy scene is filling with a bunch of hipster wannabe art heroes who hate video games.

From now on, I'm buying nothing but Nintendo. They at least put out games I want to play from time to time. If that makes me filthy casual or not a real gamer anymore, then fuck it, I'm not a gamer anymore.

Maybe casual gaming? I think the people who've been bitching at you are the same people who's lives are so uninteresting that gaming is literally all they have because they never sunk the time into other things. Gaming isn't meant to be something that consumes someone's life to the extreme point that it defines them. I'm in the same boat you are. I love games and gaming, but I'm not about to go off on a ridiculous tirade over anyone who games differently than I do.

Yeah just ignore the asses out there. There really is no need to even speak to them I still play many old games all the time. I have consoles and gaming pc's my laptop is not much better than what you have graphics wise mine is the 870 and it's very good for being a gen behind. Just do what you like screw them it sound more like they aren't having as much fun as you are having playing their new modern games than we do playing older ones. Just remember if they say you can't play games at under 60fps or that you can't do this because you don't have that it's already devolved to a epeen contest and its best to just ignore it.

Oh God are you me? As a female gamer I DONT CARE about gamergate, I DONT CARE which games are so called "degrating" to women (really wtf), I don't fucking care if character has small or big boobz and so on and so in. I just don't fucking care if the game hurts someone's feelings.

If I like it I'll play it. If I don't I won't. What's so fucking hard to understand about this? I don't care if the game is "mainstream" or "indie" and how this label me as "casual" or "HC" player....

Ffs, I just stopped engaging with anyone in gaming comunitie to for reasons. I font want any SJW propaganda or any other agenda forced onto the games I like. Its not a fucking battleground between "real" gamers and who the fucks know who else...

Jesus I usually don't rant, but this... So much this...

I was just completely bewildered. Who plays games for achievements?

Millenials.

These are the marks of millenials, infinite in number and even more in the desire of meaningless accords.

You sound just like a person that grew up enjoying games should. Just continue enjoying your games and don't give two shit about the 'community'. I don't want to get too sociological here, but let's just say this whole new generation of gamers, internet identities, opinionated bringers of truth is suffering from a major case of compensating for the lack of meaning, a direction. The world is a very confusing place these days, as it should be, a major technological breakthrough happened, it takes a while for the human mind to catch up. Entitlement and excess of material wealth are a real thing my friend. Be grateful for every game you enjoy because you're having fun with it or are getting something meaningful out of (This war of mine & Papers please come to mind). Never apologize for having fun @30fps. Never measure fun in frames per second or number of pixels. It suck when your multiplayer community gets tainted by narcissistic idiots, but c'est la vie. Move on, find fun again, be sure those people won't and they will envy you for it.

It's hard to blame the mainstream gamer in all this much too. There's a lot of subtle mind control at work, be it from publishers, graphic card, CPU and computer manufacturers in general, 'honest' IT media ect ect... But that too will pass, for every action there's an equal and opposite reaction.
