Fake: dating someone

Gay: having a boyfriend

Writes itself.

They're not dating anymore afaik

They were when this was posted.

tbf if there's one woman I expect to encounter on 4chan it's her

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago

No, if this were her then her bf would have paid someone else to play the game for him.

Fake. Only neckbeards use 4chan

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 61 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Anon never mentioned their gender, so it can also be real and gay.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I knew a girl that went on 4chan.

She didn't seem to understand that trolling doesn't work IRL and that was kind of her entire persona, It was like babysitting an adult. You'd hang out with her for her own good, so the world wouldn't attack her. Then one day my friend and her broke up and that was that. NFI. Don't even remember her name, just how weird she was.

I'm just gonna put this anecdote out there:

When I first started dating my ex, I wanted him to play through some Dark Souls to see if he had any determination. He failed completely and whined a lot, but I kept dating him anyway. Nearly 5 years later, I ended up leaving him, and a big part of it was his defeatist outlook and complete lack of willpower.

I'm not saying being bad at Dark Souls is a red flag, but I think girlie would be justified in getting out now.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've 100%'d all 3 souls games.

Can we date (As an experiment)? I suspect dating someone with the obsessive qualities to do this is also frustrating.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've only 100%'d DS1, so I'm pretty impressed by your ability. I'm not obsessive enough over most of the franchise to get 100%, namely because there's sections of DS2 and DS3 I don't love replaying, but I love DS1 to death so I wanted to have the Dark Soul achievement.

Anyway, if you wanna shoot your shot dm me, just know you gotta be cool with bussy.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bitch, I don't care what colour your snatch is, but you better be stacked like the Asylum Demon.

Lay down some soapstone for me and I'll drop into your ass like I start that fight.

When I'm done with you, you'll be begging for NG+

4 real people read that and thought "great!"

Did he try finger but hole?

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Y'know it was another one of his failings, not really? He was very big on railing me, but not super big on lubing me up properly with his fingers first.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sounds like a selfish dick, glad you kicked him to the curb.

Though 5 years? That's a long time to put up with that nonsense, you must have a very strong sense of loyalty.

Sounds like he dodged a bullet

[–] JPAKx4@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think he dodged much, that was the issue.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He did the most important dodge of all, dodging the gf playing weird games with their relationship. What a nutcase lol

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow, way to assume. You also missed the point, I didn't play any weird games with him and regret it, because it would've ended a bad relationship much sooner.

[–] Amanduh@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

You are a walking red flag lol

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This guy gave up at Sens Fortress.

But here's the thing - I didn't enjoy dark souls when I tried, but I do enjoy other games that are very difficult for me and where I need to be determined to win

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 month ago

That's fair, and that's why I stayed with him for 5 years after watching him ragequit after losing 15 times to Asylum Demon. I was hopeful that it was just him bouncing off the game, and I also assumed he'd have other moments where he could show me what he was worth under stress. He never did, and eventually I became fully responsible for the both of us.

Like I said, being bad at DS isn't a red flag. Having no determination and constantly giving up at the first sign of adversity is a red flag. There's a very faint correlation between the two, but that's all.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago

It's probably more seeing how he reacts when frustrated that's the red flag.

If he kept his composure until he eventually stopped playing and said "I don't think this is my type of game", that would have been a more mature approach to the issue than whining.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just gotta git gud. Maybe he needed to level ADP.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not a monster, I'd never start a man off on DS2.

My SO hates it when I play dark souls. She says it increases the stress levels in our home.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 35 points 1 month ago (2 children)

She didn't say you create a stressful situation. She said "it" increases stress levels. It's US against the problem.

That's a keeper right there.

My wife and i do a lot of game-cussin-at but if we start yelling at each other instead of the game we gotta do a kissin break

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 8 points 1 month ago

Well then your Superior Officer should send you away from the frontlines for some R&R.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Pfft, sometimes you just want wreck shit all casual. Ain't no shame in it as long as you aren't trying to pretend you're uber 1337, or fucking someone over.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

I always say "there's no such thing as cheating in a single player game" and it's interesting seeing the varrying reactions. Some people take a minute and see the wisdom, others say "but...but...you're using cheats...that's cheating!"

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yup, I'm with you.

Mind you, if it was an all the time thing, it seems kinda boring, but as an occasional thing, it's fun. It extends replay value, and sometimes lets you see things in the game you don't have time for normally.

There are games for that (GTA, Just Cause, any RPG ever), don't play a game that's intended to be challenging on god mode, because that kills the entire point of the game.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, it doesn't.

The entire point of any game is to have fun while killing time.

sometimes that means just going ham. Sometimes it means jacking up the difficulty setting, or nerfing yourself, or speedrunning, or wandering around and doing nothing at all except look at the.graphics.

Maybe, for you the only point of a game is to fuck around on.whatever the max difficulty is, and I genuinely hope that you always have games that can give you that.

But, my gaming homie, there's no single point to gaming.

And, can we be real for a minute? Most games, the skill involved is hand-eye coordination combined with reflexes. Which is fine for what it is, but it isn't like the challenges involved are.something special.

I haven't played all the Dark Souls games, but at least on DS1, the enemies are relatively few and far between, so "going ham" isn't really a thing. The difficulty of DS is in where the enemies are, move sets, etc, not in how many there are or the specific weapons they have. Putting on cheats on something like DS is like having a tool to cut through a puzzle and get to the end w/o interacting with the puzzle in any meaningful sense.

That's fine if that's what you're into, but I highly doubt you'll get as much enjoyment from it vs playing a game with a lot more interesting set pieces, like the ones I mentioned, or really anything with a sandboxy feel.

You do you, of course, I'm just pointing out that if you're looking for a casual slasher session or whatever, there are games designed for that, which would probably give you a lot more satisfaction.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If it's a single player game, who cares?

If you have fun playing the game then congrats! The point is a game is to have fun.

Be me, playing STALKER 2

Spouse hates it

That's the whole story.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Something changed in my SO and now they love watching me play scary games and watch scary movies (they watch from the safety of their desk while playing games, not on the couch w/ me).

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Nah, they love scary games, they just think STALKER sucks. Hits different when the NPCs call me "loner".
