/jp/ - Otaku Culture

you should have said you played Duke Nukem

If she doesn't understand Being the Little Girl she's not meant for you.

> I play video games and watch anime most of the time.
I think this is where you fucked up.

Give up on girls, embrace your inner hikikomori nature!

You tell everyone what you do in your spare time?

Are you new at this whole 'embarassing interests' thing, or did you avoid going to high school somehow?

>Me: N
This is where you fucked up

>>4658006
She asked what I was into what should I say? If I lied and said football she would bring it up later and I would get found out.

This is why you always need at least one legit hobby that you can toss out when asked. Many of them make you a better person anyway so the conversational purpose is incidental.

>Girl: What are you all about? Tell me what you're into Anon!
>Me: It's none of your business.

learn aikido
no fuck aikido, learn something easier like tae kwon do, its all the same for them
impress bitches, if you tell them you practice martial arts they will think you are jackie chan or something

>>4658027
You could have been a bit vague about it.

>>4658027
Is there really nothing you're not knowledgeable enough about that isn't Japanese video games and Japanese anime that you can't describe briefly if she asks?

It's not like you need to actually be into hobbies to talk about them. I make do just fine.

>>4657986
What the fuck is wrong with you?
>Me: SHMUPS.
>Girl: What's that?
>Me: It's like arcade games.
alternatively
>Me: Touhou
>Girl: What's that?
>Me: It's a SHMUP.

>>4658045
>Uhhhhhh I dunno I'm into regular stuff you know what I mean ^_^''
Being vague makes you sound unconfident.

>>4658027
You could have pointed out the incredibly beautiful patterns or the music. You know, what most people would see at first glance.

You really fucked that flag up anon

Real men just say that they don't have any interests when someone asks them.

>>4658057
>Uhhhhhh I dunno I'm into regular stuff you know what I mean ^_^''
Well maybe you shouldn't watch so much fucking anime.

>>4658057
I don't think a less detailed description of Touhou could have hurt his chances.

>>4658065
>well maybe you shouldn't do things you enjoy

>>4658065
Sorry I can't be as much of a bro as you, bro.

>>4658071
>well maybe you should try other things as well as what you enjoy

>Oh, it's an independent game popular in a specific niche, based on an old arcade genre, which is basically a shooting sub-genre with a great emphasis on dodging. It also has a huge amount of fan-created content to its name.
If you're a faggot and have to bring it up, that's how you do it.

OP, why didn´t you just say that this game is for pedo

..and that it is as hard as shit to beat it!

>>4657986
>Girl: What's that?
>Me: It's this game where you're like this little girl, right, and you dodge magic spells and stuff.
>Girl: Lol isn't that a game for little girls then?
>Me: ...

Here's where you went wrong, OP. You started explaining, and then when you were asked a question, you stopped explaining and gave up in the middle, leaving her with the impression that you like "a game for little girls." Good job, indeed. Oh and next time, just say you like Otaku shit. Would be a little less awkward.

There are unlimited things to enjoy in this world, and last I checked most of them weren't video games or anime.

>>4658113
That just makes you sound obsessed. But in a general sense that's spot on, yes.

Next time just say that she is your only interest. Girls love that shit.

>>4658121
>>4658078
>>4658065
>>4658052

Get out, fucking normalfags.

>its a game where you shoot enemies and then a boss comes and you shoot it while avoiding bullets

>there are also bombs to help you clear the screen if you can see you're going to die

How I describe it.

You have to explain the game mechanics, not the fluff. This applies to parents as well as girls.

Unless you actually play Touhou just so you can be a little girl, that is.

>>4658131
Get out, fucking Cirnofag.

>>4658131
>Cirno
oh the irony

>>4658131
If the mere suggestion that you should try other things that don't fall into your very limited pattern of current interests makes you angry, then you should probably think long and hard about your life.

>Me: It's this game where you're like this little girl, right, and you dodge magic spells and stuff.

>Me: It's this game where you like, well it's called a bullet hell game, which is pretty much what it is, basically the enemies like shoot a lot and I mean a lot of bullets at you in colorful patterns and shit and you have to dodge it all because even a single one will kill you.

Seriously, the first thing you think about with Touhou is "you play a little girl"? Even if that is true, don't describe it that way.

>>4658127
Depends on the context. If she asks just to be polite and you start sweating and stuttering it out in a really excited tone, then yes. If it seems like she's just polite in general, there's even less reason to bring up something as specific as Touhou.

However, if she sounds genuinely interested, and you manage to explain in a relaxed voice, it shouldn't leave an overly bad impression.

>Girl: What are you all about? Tell me what you're into Anon!
>Me: Not much, I play video games and watch anime most of the time.
>Girl: Oh what games do you play?
>Me: All sorts of games, you know shooters, strategies etc...
>Girl: Oh yeah my boyfriend plays shooters too.

>>4658120
Touhou's like one of those arcade games. You know, where you have a ship that fires upwards and you dodge bullets?

>wait for reaction and continue, otherwise, dismiss the topic

>Girl: What are you all about? Tell me what you're into Anon!
>Me: *shits on floor*

>>4658145
>Me: It's this game where you like, well it's called a bullet hell game, which is pretty much what it is, basically the enemies like shoot a lot of bullets and I mean a lot of bullets at you in colorful patterns and shit and you have to dodge it all because even a single one will kill you, oh and did I mention that the bullets shoot bullets too, man it's crazy. It's like hell with bullets where bullets shoot bullets and the bullets that shoot bullets shoot bullets too.

>Girl: Lol isn't that a game for little girls then?
>Me: ....and people who wish to be the little girl ;_;

>>4658160
EPIK WIN XD

>Girl: What are you all about? Tell me what you're into Anon!

Be sure to neg

just tell her that you studies world history in your free time. bout king arthur, excalibur, avalon, medusa, heracle, sasaki kojiro.

>>4658169
Bitches, man

>>4657986
Wait, did she actually say "lol", like, out loud? In reality? She went "lol"?

Girls don't talk to me anymore.

>>4658176
Nowhere did he imply they were talking in real life, face-to-face.

>>4657986
How to explain touhou to normalfags
>>>>I play touhou it's a crazy hard japanese shoot'em up where you dodge a metric fuckton of bullets. Because it's Japanese, and the Japanese are fucked up, instead of spaceships you fly anime girls.

>>4658176
You americans can even say lol the way you're supposed to say it it's just lol not L.O.L

>>4658176
I'll let you figure that one out on your own, Anon.

Just tell the truth about your hobbies. That you're into Touhou, loli, crossdressing, and bedwetting.

What's with all the fucking relationship threads on /jp/?

It's fucking Saint Patrick's day, not Saint Valentine's.

>>4658209
There's no relationship thread here.

This is a 'talking to girls' thread. It's like comparing hiking on small foothills to hiking in the Andes.

>>4658215
Regardless, it's off the topic of the board, and there's more than one of them.

Condense your threads, or preferably just get out.

>he tells people he likes touhou
Oh shit nigger what the fuck are you doing

>>4658160
I lol'd hard for some reason.

>>4658226
When you become a mod, maybe I'll listen. Until then you're just another self-important faggot.

Take a trip so I can filter you.

>>4658229
Let me guess. You're one of those people who hide their "power level".

Grow up.

>>4658241
>Grow up
>by telling everyone how much you love naruto

Here's the secret:

Noone really gives a shit about what your hobbies are, you just have to be confident and talk about them like they're interesting.

>>4658226
I bet you're some janitor and you just deleted that other thread.

>>4658240
While you don't have the luxury of filtering my posts, I do have the luxury of further shitting up (is this even possible?) your thread and then just reporting and hiding it when I'm done amusing myself.

Enjoy your stay, faggot.

>>4658252
And preferably not start off describing them with "so you're a little girl"

>>4658252
>Noone really gives a shit about what your hobbies are
There's a reason why you can't tell people you play eroge all day. They DO care. If they didn't people wouldn't have to hide this shit or get insulted because of it.

How about play some regular games once in a while. Who seriously sits around playing touhou or watching anime all day everyday? Thats pretty tedious.

If you actually want to interact with society you need to broaden your horizons enough that you can hold a conversation. If you're a true hikki then by all means do what you want cause who cares.

>>4658226
Having trouble explaining your hobby and why you like it is perfectly acceptable for /jp/ - _otaku_ "culture".

>>4658252
Yeah mostly but it's also to feel out if someone does nothing but play videogames or read Dragonlance books or whatever that indicates a boring undeveloped personality.

>>4658267
Sounds like /jp/ isn't for you. I suggest /r9k/ or /v/.

>>4658254
>I bet you're some janitor and you just deleted that other thread.
If I was, I would be doing my job properly. Now if only "I" could realize that this thread is off-topic trash instead of reading the word "Touhou" and automatically think it's board related

>>4658267
Just read a couple philosophy books and claim it's one of your interests, chicks dig that shit. Most people are so ignorant of it the most they've heard is maybe Plato or Confucius.

>>4658283
Get out.

>>4658263

Or it's possible that talking about eroge is considered socially unacceptable because it makes people uncomfortable, not because they care about what kind of person it makes you.

>>4658267
I played like 5 touhou games, I completed 2, I played double spoiler for like 10 minutes and uninstalled it.

>>4658283
>implying that my life must be shit unless I am tied to some girl or another at all times

Sup brah, enjoying my money, time, and hobbies.

Little girls don't play Touhou. Little boys do.

>>4658282
But philosophy is boring made up shit and you can tell the philosophers are making everything up as they go along. Even psychology is more important than philosophy.

I only ever talk to one girl (that isn't my sister), and she's the biggest slut I've ever seen. Our conversations go something like:

>Girl: Dick.
>Me: Slut.
>Girl: So I seduced this guy the other day, right, and etc etc etc.
>Me: That's nice, I <adventure I went on in my house, like my cucumber in shower adventure>.

That's pretty much what happens every time, other than exchanging stories I've never had an actual conversation with a girl.

>>4658295
>psychology is more important than philosophy

Well, I'd say they're both pretty shit tier. They both put out a bunch of indignant, self-important psych/philosophy majors

I suppose you have to act pompous and full of yourself when you have the least respected majors in academia.

>>4658282
Philosophy would be even worse, since it makes you sound like a pretentious douche.

>>4658295
It doesn't fucking matter, you're doing this for the pussy, not to better humanity.

>>4658160
Son of a bitch, I got coffee all over my keyboard.

Thanks a lot, /jp/.

>>4658287
Nah, it's pretty damaging to your reputation when people find out you fap to little girls.

>>4658295
There's more to philosophy than metaphysics. And anyway the purpose of reading it isn't to find correct answers but to get you to think about broad, difficult questions that are shared by everyone and come to some personal solution.

>>4658303

>>4658312
Which means taking a philosophy 101 class like everyone and their mother.

Majoring in it is pathetic.

>>4658303
Where the hell did you coast in from? Last time I checked no one here was concerned about "getting pussy".

>>4658297
>my cucumber in shower adventure
Does your ass still hurt?

I love threads like these. They remind me that I'm not socially retarded.

>>4658320
It never hurt! The only uncomfortable part was when the soap I used to make it go smoother started dripping out afterwards.

>>4658333
Never use soap, you retard.

>>4658274
>Herp derp true /jp/ers 1CC every touhou game on lunatic every single day, while marathoning at least 2 seasons of anime.

I Don't believe that I'm the only one with other hobbies.

>>4658334
What are you gonna do to stop me?

>>4658338
You are. Get out.

>>4658324
You meant to say "I'm not the only one who's socially retarded"

>>4658333
Soap, really? Invest in some lube.

>>4658338
>I have other hobbies
GET OUT YOU FUCKING NORMALFAG!111!!

>>4658349
I would have used lube, if I had some at the time. The first time I just got bored while I was taking a shower and decided to do it.

>>4658338
>I Don't believe that I'm the only one with other hobbies.

Well, apparently you are.

>>4658354
You just happened to have a cucumber laying around?

>>4658365
even /jp/ makes trips to the fridge.

>>4658338
>I Don't believe that I'm the only one with other hobbies.
Stop it, you're making /jp/-san feel inadequate.

>>4658324
You are still socially retarded, just less than the OP.

>>4658365
I tried a tooth brush at first, but it wasn't satisfying enough so I went downstairs and got the bigger weapons, then went back and went at it again.

>>4658371
Why does the thought of sticking a toothbrush up my ass make me flinch more than a cucumber?

>>4658338
My hobbies have slipped lately but I still have INTERESTS at least that I can talk about like a regular person despite being an extremely weird NEET. I can't imagine how anyone can get by with just games/anime/manga shit.

>>4658374
It's not that bad, just don't use your own toothbrush!

>>4658374
Because you don't brush your teeth with a cucumber?

>Newphew plays sports and shooter games when he's anywhere near a game.
>Bitching at me to play CoDMW with him & friends
>Too busy doing IN level 5
>Calls my skills weak
>Invite him to play on easy
>Admits a new addiction
>Fuck yea.

>>4658416

The kind of people who should never be allowed to play touhou.

>>4658416
Why would you do that?

>>4658416
Good going, you just condemned him to /jp/ life.

>>4658416
>IN
>Easy
oh god you sick fuck kill yourself

>>4658338
I have other hobbies, but I don't advertise it as the only way to be a healthy person, or even talk about them on /jp/ unless they are actually related. Actually, I'm a little ashamed, since having other hobbies restrains the development of my powerlevel, which makes me a worse poster.

>>4658463
I literally threw up all over my keyboard

There's no point in lying about your hobbies. Chances are, if the person is actually interested in you as a friend or something more they're going to find out the truth eventually. If they'd really avoid you just because of what you're into then they're shallow and not worth your time anyway.

>>4658469
This is incorrect reasoning. My posting is non pariel.

why so pathethic, /jp/?

ITT: Insecure teenagers worried about embarressment

Looking through this thread, I believe this should be standard reading for all of /jp/:

http://insomnia.ac/japan/here_we_go_again.php

>>4658145
Beating a dead horse, but this. Plus some of the other replies along the same lines.

But hey, if you personally think the major appeal of playing the Touhou games is controlling a "little girl", you probably should revoke your /jp/ Touhou-posting license and head on over to Pooshlmer.
