Is it bad I kinda like this one? So passive aggressive. Rage enduring but how you gonna get mad at the same time?

This.
At Halo 2 launch night at a GameCrazy (yeah, remember those) the store was jammed with folks and I remember it smelling like the worst B.O. I won a Halo 2 T-Shirt in a Halo contest. That was the last time my wife went into a videogame store with me.

Tbf time to swipe would add in interesting dimension to the tinder formula. Who's actually looking at your profile? Who ain't?
Throw in posting your Sonic completion times and we have a stew going baby!

huh?
This thread is getting wack.
You think people had time machines to know it was going to be what it was?
For real, a gamer dating app would be cool.
Not sure if cringe is the right word, but seeing a nine-eleven year old tell his parents how qualified he was to play GTA 5 was... interesting.
Wait, I've got one, the Nintendo and Sony fanboy argument I walked into at an Entertainmart. It was exactly what you expect when you hear the word fanboy, full stereotype on display. Nintendo dude talked about how Sony Ponys only cared about graphics, Sony guy was on about his mature games that aren't just for kiddies. Whole Sony copies Nintendo, Nintendo is going out of business because of Sony, and just a bunch of dumb little stuff. If you told me they were two friends just making fun of fanboys I would hope to believe you, because it was unreal.
Edit: Forgot to mention the ehhh, let's say passion, that they were arguing with.

I can't get mad at someone doing that as that would be a case of second hand embarrassment. Like boy you're good at the game but your glasses aren't glowing and you look ridiculous you gotta stop.
Think about how well the gaming community handles women just over microphones and VR, then think about how well they'd handle the idea of seeing a woman in a dating app meant for gamers, and then seeing a picture of a woman. God no, please never let that be a thing.
Yeah, this is pretty bad if they make scene over it.

Disliking people liking stuff isn't what I was expecting
I was more expecting pokemon players throwing feces at each other in a hotel

That's cringeworthy? I think it's a cute nod to a game you like. Now if the guy started screaming SNAKE?!! SNAAAAAKKE!!! I'd cringe.

I met one of my closer friends simply because he was wearing a video game shirt of a game neither of us played and series that neither of us gave a shit about.
Funny thing is he's like the last person to wear a video game shirt normally, don't think I ever saw it after that.

I'm used to model and dress myself as close as possible to Cloud from Advent Children.
I honestly can't stand people's talking about videogames in public. It seems I'm a magnet for "the caek is a lie!!!1!1" or "Poor uneducated pleb, I'm gonna educate you on how to use D.va with all the glory of my Cheetos and not being showered in a week stench" people.
The only person I can talk about videogames off from this site is my best friend. He's the only person I play with too. I know I'm generalizing and that's wrong, but I'm not gonna lie, it happened so much I decided not to hang around gaming places and whatnot. :/

This thread, my god.
I wore my Fallout shirt to work and people actually commented on how they were hyped for the game or said nothing because it's just a fucking shirt.. I work at a high-end retail store too.
People here don't know what 'cringe' is.

Like most of us I've been in situations with weird folks with varying quirks or offputting behavior, from dudes with voice modulation issues to apparent hygiene issues to rude/condescending attitudes with little to no provocation, etc. But people who might have some odd habits or strange opinions are allowed to be that way, no reason to call them out publicly or shame them or anything.
I don't think it's so bad to tell stories about certain situations or people, it's the tone that matters
Honestly, every time I happen to chat about games with casual players like family members or classmates or whatever, the type who stick to smartphone games or Madden/COD, I sometimes find myself talking about comparatively niche shit or upcoming games that haven't had big commercials and marketing and I'm sure a lot of them think I'm some fucking weirdass

It came with the game. Box was huge iirc and even had a Nintendo Power guide inside.

Super Princess Peach:
Both
People openly talking about how they want it but are embarrassed to get it because it's a "girls game". (it's not for any one particular sex or gender)
People openly questioning the sexuality of males who bought Super Princess Peach.

If this is a slight at me it wouldn't really work as I don't really talk about video games in public setting.

I laughed at this. Was it the free shirt that was bundled with the game?

I once made the mistake of playing my 3ds in public between classes at my college. Before I knew it three neck beards swarmed me. Warm stanky breath on my face. As they uttered "oh is that zelda" i said yes then about five minutes went by of them stairing at me and crowding me before I said i have to go to class now. It was the last time I played a hand held in public. Also gdq is a great event that I love watching, but when people shout hype, its a little hard to watch

Did he pull it off though?
This isn't really heinous or anything, but In about 2005 or so I was at a Gamestop with my younger brother and we were checking out one of the PS2 kiosks. I don't remember what game we were playing, but whatever it was my brother said it reminded him of Black (the FPS) - which we had just beaten a few days prior. This dude playing at the kiosk next to us (he looked about 17 or 18) just blurts out "Black sucks." with a really condescending tone.
Now, 1) This guy's eyes never left his screen, so he wasn't making some conscious effort to engage us in a conversation, and 2) He was playing Dynasty Warriors. So,y'know, little bit of the pot calling the kettle black there, pal. We briefly glanced at him and then carried on with our conversation.

I honestly can't recall although we did own the game.
Back in high school I was really into Yu Gi Oh, and was considered the best in my school (I even won the triangle trophy at my counties tournament center). Anyway, there was guy who was really mad at me because I was dating a girl he liked, so he challenged me to an "epic duel." He came to school wearing a cape, and had a boom box with dueling music. He even quoted the show as we played. I beat him, but felt kinda bad about it because he was so odd about it.
Edit: Also, not me. But my best friends cousin was in love with DragonBall Z. Every time he would go to the gym he would "power up" like Goku. He would yell really loud too... it was awkward.

It'd be easier to follow if the story didn't keep getting more added on to it to make it seem worst. Next, he'all be wanted for murder!
I was at the tourney that that happened during. It really confused me back then and it still confuses me now.

You're literally adding a new more horrible thing he did every new post. He went from saying nintendo sucks to being rude to costumers to hacking your wifi to causing the closure of a location
Seems like bullshit.

If you weren't upset at that you would have laughed it off. Instead you go, "Um, ACTUALLY that isn't true."
