My friend and I were just talking about how you need to proceed with caution with guys who play only FIFA or NBA4K. We call them male "candy crush" games.
Edit: I'm loving the updates. Add Madden and NHL to the list!
Back then when being a gamer was akin to being a Poindexter who gets shoved into lockers and had their lunch money stolen, I was pretty adamant that "Gamers are gamers!"
But now that extroverts watch marvel movies, gorgeous model types own gaming systems, and gaming is no longer a hidden secret for basement dwellers and elevated to "normal behavior", I've changed course.
Not to say a FIFA bro won't end up playing Elden Ring. But chances are very slim.
We used to joke about people saying "I'm a gamer" when they meant Farmville, but if you just have each year's FIFA and CoD games then you're just as bad.
Can't forget Madden
Ah yes. There is another.
It's honesty pretty bleak to see companies like Electronic Arts and Activision consistently top the sales charts by releasing the same game every year.
Said this before on Reddit in the past, but there are lots of consumers who have no taste in video games whatsoever. They don't give a shit about anything but FIFA/Madden, Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto, and that is the reason why we have predatory shit like Ultimate Team and Shark Cards in $70 AAA titles.
it honestly just looks like addiction to me, it's like people who drink the same miserable burnt coffee every morning just to vaguely function, and see no issue whatsoever with this habit and in fact continue to praise coffee for being so great and tasty.
My ex bought FIFA/NBA every year as it came out like clock work. Set the game to the easiest possible settings, but complained about rubber banding and reset the quarter when he lost.
The one time I got him to do laundry, he threw away half of our socks. He didn’t want to find pairs. My fancy dress socks, my novelty socks - all in the trash when I get home from work.
Liking certain video games isn’t itself a red flag, it’s that mindless, video games as avoidance/wish fulfillment that’s concerning.
Man, and I think I'm pathetic because I don't meal prep 2 weeks in advance and have my house sparkling clean and tidy all the time...
You touch my merino wool socks we are fighting!!!
Boils my blood someone would just toss socks away like that...
Fuck, why would anyone throw away clothes to not do laundry??
Goddamn, just be a lazy ass like me and throw the socks in a drawer and play Where's Waldo every time you need a pair.
The idea is that if you deliberately fuck up a basic household cleaning task, you won’t be asked to do it again. Loading a washer was itself an interruption of FIFA/most recent Ubisoft game, and that stunt was an attempt to get out of it.
what about minecraft and factorio?
Minecraft Java and Factorio don't have micro transactions (Minecraft Bedrock does though)
this is true, good point, and factorio is doubly based, so we like that in this household.
Thankfully i don't play bedrock (i'm a linux user, it doesnt work on linux)
Perfectly fine and usually chill 👍🏾
good to know. Though i think few people would enjoy playing either one with me unless they're very similar to me, i play technical minecraft, and go pretty hard on factorio lol.
My biggest excitement for quantum computers is infinite factories
factorios mining productivity research is one of the biggest shitposts in any game ever created. Though we do love a good zachtronics reference in this household.
The NHL games are like crack cocaine for Canadians.
Sorry, but the only sports games I play are racing games. So not all Canadians.
Or you are an imposter. Ever thought about that?
Racing games is just hockey on a track following an imaginary pack on a track.
