Playing video games as an adult

[Sir Silentium]

Every now and then I turn on voice chat. The other day I was talking to someone who sounded very young, I heard his mum on the mic after a few games of talking to him. He mustn’t have had a headset, because she later told him that I sound like I am an old man, and that I’m too old to be playing children’s video games and that he shouldn’t be speaking to me, and she made him leave the party. She made me sound like I was a pedophile for playing and online game. What a clown.

Fortnite

I’m not even going to bother playing games anymore

I barely hear anybody use in game voice chat nowadays, most tend to use Discord

Brutal, I never understood how people make friends on discord. I only have 1 and he’s from this site.

Its not magic, its just that they are NT and you are not

 

[underballer]

you can play vidya until you're like 90 lol

 

[Sir Silentium]

But even then, unless the friends are from real life activities such as school, I don’t see how people have so many friends on there, and I doubt they add people from random communities.

Being NT is just a different reality I guess, a way if life in which I will never wrap my head around

No your problem is playing the kids game. It's like playing Roblox as an adult. If you were playing War thunder nobody would care that you are in your 20/30s and would praise you for being older than 40.

It’s one of the only games I find enjoyable now

I sound younger than I am as well

Then you will be in the world of trouble. Unless you mute everyone or play with your own group of friends.

Fortnite is a game based on killing other players with guns though. It's more mature than Roblox. Fortnite just looks more like a kids game because the art style is cartoony.

This is a rare case imo , old gamers are accepted in most communities

Yea, I’m not even old either, but it’s just the games I play with the average user base being 12yrs old

I don’t have any friends to play with, and 99% of the time I have VC turned off anyways.

Then that's just brutal, why did she think you're old?

 

[Sir Silentium]

I must still sound older than anyone else on the game

 

[Cuckoja]

I sound 13, but im too high inhib to use vc

 

[1Disturbed]

too high inhib to use vc

it's because you've never done it before

 

[Cuckoja]

it's because you've never done it before

No its because im retarded

Thought you played roblox or smth?

Brutal agepill

I’ve never played Roblox

I guess some adults who don't know much about games assume it's aimed at kids. I'm pretty sure it's just "universal".

I mean, I play a lot of Roblox as people on here know. I've never had drama similar to what you describe but I think what helps there is that I never really do voice chat.

Gaming just feels like a chore to me now

not really any different than chores or whatnot

It annoys me so much, when they question why I am playing as an adult, when they sound younger than 12.
Fortnite is rated M, anyone under 15 shouldn't even be playing. It's their parents that are to blame.

I never really did voice chat either, I would turn it on occasionally. I just stick to minecraft now, no normies to belittle me.

I would also be surprised if I've seen someone older than 20 playing it.

 

[Trident]

If it was me, his mom would think he plays with his peers

I'm surprised how much the user base has changed since its release.

haven't played a game online with people in many years due to high inhib tbh i only stick to single player shit atp

Since posting this I have only been playing single player minecraft. And you're right, Fortnite has turned into a children's game, even though it's rated M and nobody under 15 should even be playing.

 

[Kan>Foids]

The truth is that any game that isn't sportsball, GTA, or COD will get that sort of response from normies.

The irony being that these same foids will binge watch LITERAL CARTOONS like Kpop Demon Hunter and make stupid faces while dancing like idiots on TikTok/Snapchat for hours on end.

Male normies are even worse with them calling gaming "for kids" and then paint their faces like clowns and cry like fucking 4 year old girls over grown men playing LITERAL CHILDREN'S YARD GAMES.
