So me. Because I play Sonic games too often.

 

[Noctosphere]

I dont understand my mother either

i can relate, my lil cousin always wants to play gtaV on my pc. try to get him off and play a sonic game, and others. he just wants gta V. then after he gets off i just play minecraft or sonic games all the time

 

[Issac]

Mmmm solitaire :3 one of my favourites! And I'm not even joking!

 

[DeslotlCL]

This is my cousin and Fortnite. He's always playing Fortnite on Switch and voice chatting with his friends that also play it. Even though he has like 10 Switch games and I think he's only beat half of them.


Exactly. I thought it was just me that felt that way. I want to play more new games, but I still usually prefer replaying something I've already played because I know it'll be worth my time. There's also the nostalgia factor of course. No new games can surpass the games of my youth because at that time everything was new and exciting, and those games still seem equally amazing today (for the most part)

There is nothing wrong with that. People, especially the so called "gamers" should let others to play whatever the frick they want, no matter if they play the same thing over and over, or if they play the hottest thing to hate now.

Anyway, you know someday he will start getting bored of it. For now, better let him enjoy it while it lasts.

There are milions of interesting worlds waiting to be explored! *showes solitair*. But how dare you forgot about Minesweeper?

 

[Exaltys]

Whelp, time to nuke my Skyrim install and see what mods I want to add this time.

You'd be lucky to find solitaire installed by default nowadays. Greedy Microsoft makes you download it from some stupid app shop then it's 20 gigabytes for some reason; riddled with ads and requires mandatory updates that require the computer to reboot several times. The cost for extra card design packs is ludicrous as well.

 

[Deleted User]

Not as good as the Mario Kart One but still funny

 

[raxadian]

A limitless number of shovelware

You mean pay to win and scamware?

I played Animal Crossing on the DS for a year and a half like four hours a day, I can't complain.

I mean sure. It's just a bit annoying when I want to play games with him and he's too busy with Fortnite

 

[Sakitoshi]

Why step outside your comfort zone when you already know what's good!

Because that's a sign of old age .

 

[UltraSUPRA]

How long have I left Cookie Clicker on in the background?

 

[JavaScribe]

shelves of what must be games, and a dude playing forklift battle royale free 2019

You forgot to show the glass that stores keep those games behind.
Nothing is free.

Am I a joke to you?

 

[chrisrlink]

reminds me of my mom saying the exact same thing bout Pokemon now I play a variety of games...because I pirate them

 

[tech3475]

Funnily enough I decided to seriously replay HL2 a few days ago, as in actually playing it as intended from start to finish and not p***ing about with the dev console.

That said, Freeman's Mind did make me think I was going mad because of the things in the videos I didn't think were in the game, which they weren't but were just custom maps.

 

[eriol33]

the paradox of choice is real. but at the same time, you are not compelled to like all the hit games in the market. I have been trying hard to like action games, but I am just no longer good with games that require a lot of dexterity so I prefer to play stealth, srpg, jrpg or anything turn-based. third person shooter is an exception though.

 

[UltraDolphinRevolution]

On Wii I mostly played online games even though I had many more games which did not have online. I guess I subconsciously knew I could enjoy offline games in the future. So I understand the sitting person in the first pic.

I remember that anybody can modify the solitary application to have a different card back then the default available ones back in the Windows XP days heck I think you could even add new card back in the deck option as well. I think you can even change the front graphic as well, I don't remember.

20 gigabytes for some reason

Please please please tell me this is an exaggeration.
If it is, then it's kind of sad that I'm not sure.
