Recommend a game that you really love to a friend

>but he couldn't really read us well enough
What? Why don't you just tell each other if you're interested in the game or not instead of relying on "reading" people?

suck me off

I find it hard to believe anyone's your friend.

>deflecting because they were the dicks OP is talking about

>recommend a game to a friend
>this game is old and shit

Not everyone needs to play the normalfag "pretend to like things to be in" game in order to have friends.

sometimes you don't want to tell someone you think a game they like is shit, dude, especially if they can be a little sensitive about their taste (which he was) so that even nicely indicating you don't like it will be taken the wrong way

and here's how you read someone: fotm game comes out, nobody on your friend list or among your rl friend group is playing it, talking about it, or maybe even have tried at after you begged them, and after some time goes by, not a single one owns or plays it. seems like a clear reading to me. And again, this probably doesn't apply to you-- I'm just saying, sometimes it's the giver who is misguided

>sometimes you don't want to tell someone you think a game they like is shit, dude, especially if they can be a little sensitive about their taste
Sounds like you need to stop hanging out with sensitive faggots. Why should anybody get mad about someone else's taste in games?

you need to actually have friends to criticize me punk

deflecting? no, i am being very direct and giving an honest answer because i've received games from friends that i don't want.
let me say it more clearly: stop buying me games. i probably won't play them. i just don't have the time. you're making me feel guilty for not using your gift, and making yourself feel bad over stupid shit.

>the amount of dill weeds in this thread
outstanding, Zig Forums really is full of faggot weebos

says the friendless faggot posting in this thread hurdur

I can't explain life's mysteries to you my man, I can only present a counterpoint to the topic of the thread as acquired by lived experience

I guess a more general rule would be, get the person to try the game before you buy it for them, and another counterpoint: why take it personally if someone never plays a game you got them? Like any gift, that's a risk the giver takes and should already be prepared that the recipient isn't interested in the gift. I would only be offended if I got someone a game and they didn't even acknowledge or mention that it was given, since that's a more basic social offense

it sounds like you dont deserve gifts because you dont appreciate them and you are crafting excuses for your behavior, this entire thread and hell the whole website is full of people like this (not other websites though ect)

>why take it personally if someone never plays a game you got them?
I didn't even come close to making an argument for that, in fact it was the opposite. Just be like "hey dude do you think you might like this game?" if he says yes buy it if he says no don't buy it and don't cry about it either like some BPD control freak.

(you)
gain self awareness idiot

>send a youtube video on some cool gaming related thing to friend
>they not only don't open it but send you the same video weeks later

sounds reasonable to me, OP's post doesn't mention any of those specifics though, just get game friend, friends actually tries it for an hour (so he probably just didn't like it) and this is greentext worthy on Zig Forums somehow? sorta sounds like my original premise isn't so crazy

>I would only be offended if I got someone a game and they didn't even acknowledge or mention that it was given, since that's a more basic social offense
which is basically the topic at hand but a lot of you are sounding in that you're basically the poster children for those who dont deserve those gifts and beyond that the friendships

based lack of reading comprehension

nvm actually OP doesn't even mention buying anyone a game, must have picked that train of thought from another post

point still stands though, it sounds like what's talked about is a case of the giver being annoyed that someone didn't like their game. Sorry if I brought my prejudice to this, I just saw it happen with shallow fotm games more than I've seen it happen with timeless classics

where was it mentioned that the offense was this specifically? I really may have missed it, I just thought the issue was that the person in question didn't play the game, which is actually pretty fair if they already know they're gonna hate it. In that case a sincere "thank you" and 0 hours played it the best possible outcome

Oh my god kid, you sound so pathetic.

They tried the game, they didn't like it lmao. There are so many dysfunctional autistic retards on Zig Forums. Redditor shit.

You people clearly WANT friendship, but you have zero clue what friendship actually means. You're selfish little shits lol, and you think it's everyone else who's the selfish little shit.

how are you this dense. i'm not making excuses. i'm agreeing with you. stop buying me gifts because, you're right, i won't appreciate them. your friends are your friends not because you buy them shit, but because they (supposedly) like you for who you are.
now one more time! listen carefully! stop buying me gifts! got it yet?
