There's always assholes but the cool thing is that you can just ignore them. Some one in your party whining about some PC bullshit? Just stop playing with them. And when a great game is being attacked for not being egalitarian enough or some similar crap show your support and buy it. Having better games and game forums starts with you.

Ignore them, by the way I have a y50 as well, and it's a beast of a laptop, nice choice :)

Congrats you're not alone there. believe it or not, there is no coincidence that sometimes the most vocal groups are the also smallest of the collective group. and yes they've always been like this, it's just now MP and online communities are far more accessible.

Edit: changed your to you're and "in the majority" to "not alone".

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.

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.

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.

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.
