>>13866410

Played wurm or tried earnestly to RP my roles in SS13. Can't decide which was more autistic.

>>13866410

Roleplayed as a female in a heavily modded Skyrim without porn mods and got married. I ended the save game standing with my new husband on some rocks along the shoreline looking out into the ocean.

I did the same thing with my new wife in another playthrough but it felt more hollow.

I played video games.

I spent thousands of hours playing world of warcraft

>>13866506

I loved doing that to password save systems. I would just keep trying until I get a save file and pop up in a random part of the game.

Getting realm first 85 for my class in WoW. Sad thing is I wasn't even trying to get it and had done no preparation beforehand. Shame the expansion was so shit.

>playing mount and blade as a merchant, moving goods from one place to another for 20 hours non-stop

same happened when i was playing endless sky. holy fuck this game has no right to be so fun

>making burma into world superpower in victoria 2 and colonising india

>making a full on ebin dungeon with multilevel main hall specially designed so that if enemies try to attack they will be thrown out of them and then abandoning it because one of my dwarfs was brown and i wanted to play as vikings

Grinded to lvl 50 on Destiny Island in Kingdom Hearts 1

You can't roleplay in a singleplayer game.

>>13866410

Probably doing the entire campaign of guild wars prophecies with bots only because fuck interacting with people. Back then this meant bringing four dudes to a eight dudes fight.

>>13866554

How many times did you defeat Riku to get there?

>>13866560

Prophecies is the easiest campaign by a long shot, though. If you're using Nightfall skills and have good team control, doing the missions with three heroes would be a piece of a cake.

And then you also have henchmen lol, so it's even simpler. And I have done the whole thing with henchmen.

builded gulags for slaves in C&C RA2:YR

>>13866575

Yes, but this was before nightfall. I only had three non-customizable mercenaries to work with.

>>13866581

Ah, now I understand.

Yeah. That's a special kind of hell.

I spent hours extracting built-in skins from a game so I could find the correct one so I could personalize it.

I responded to a template thread whose OP was (1) and done

now that's autistic

Anyone who can explain how IVs and EVs work in Pokemon games is irredeemably autistic….. such as myself. I even spent two months straight, trying to catch a perfect IV Xerneas. I succeeded btw.

>>13866587

no one cares faggot

That doesn't even deserve a (You).

Just kill yourself.

Back when Skyrim was first released, I went to autistic lengths to uncover the secrets of every alchemy ingredient. I knew there were in game hints like random scraps of paper you could find with recipes scrawled on them, and I also knew that you could use perks in the alchemy tree to acquire a skill that lets you automatically know an ingredient's properties by eating it, but I ignored all that shit. I got a notebook, wrote down every new ingredient I came across, used it to make potions, and wrote about my findings. This amounts to nothing more than an extremely long process of elimination, because two ingredients that don't match will create nothing.

If nothing else, it made me dedicate myself to earning my understanding of alchemy. In some way, that is conducive to role playing.

>>13866410

When i was 8 or so i had german version of pokemon red and couldn't understand shit, so when i lost in first gym i restarted the game and was grinding charmander at starting grass to lvl 50.

>>13866677

I used to always bring my starter up to about level 16-18 in the starting grass when beginning a new game. Level 50 is bloody insane.

>>13866677

>>13866706

I remember that in the old red and blue version, Brock's onix would only have two attacks, those being tackle and bind. I once beat him with a caterpie that was only like one hit away from death because he kept using bind, but it did nothing because I always responded by using string shot. Then, when he tried to use tackle, it would miss every time because his accuracy was so low, and I just tackled him to death. I won, and right after the fight, the caterpie got enough experience to skip metapod's evolution and go straight to butterfree.

>>13866555 (checked)

t. normalfag

As for me, when I was 9, I played Star Wars Republic Commando using only the pistol, because I didn't want to waste ammo, and the pistol had infinite ammo. I can't rembmer if I actually finished the game that way, but the entire Geonosis section was done using only the pistol.

>>13866719

Shit, I think I did roughly the same thing. I definitely remember getting butterfree and not realizing it was metapod's evo.

>>13866720

Roleplaying requires other people, it has always required other people. Proper role-playing games are about character interaction, and single player games have weak character interaction with only a few predetermined dialogue options. Even NPCs in a proper RPG have sentience, as they are controlled by the GM. Normalfags think that roleplaying is just playing pretend, but it isn't.

When I played oblivion a decade ago, I kept a separate spreadsheet for each level to keep track of which skills I leveled in order to level as efficiently as possible. For my last replay of Morrowind a while back, I did the same thing. I modded the dawnbreaker in Skyrim so that its explosion didn't cause items to fly around and become lost, because I had to perform cost-benefit analysis on every item I encountered.

>>13866743

>Roleplaying requires other people

That's where you are wrong kiddo, I can roleplay as the most powerful wizard in history and nobody can stop me, not even the police.

>>13866506

I wouldn't blame you if it was the 5 digit code in the mall area of SS2 because I always have trouble finding 1-2 of the digits on the paintings so I just memorized the code, explore the area, then move on when I get bored. worst part of SS2

>>13866752

That's not roleplaying, that's playing pretend.

>>13866750

Does your butt also tingle when you're high in the air?

>>13866761

It's the same thing.

>>13866750

Yeah, I know that feeling, like your brain's full of water that's all tipped to one side of your skull. I find that the best way to get rid of it is to be so dog-tired that you've ceased to give any fucks about it.

>>13866594

Up to maguuma was manageable, the desert was the point where it became bullshit. I think this was the point where the party went from 6 guys to 8, I'm not too sure.

Survival was obviously a tall goddamn order, but the worst parts about it were

>when I could just damn barely out-DPS the enemies' healing

>and when careful aggro didn't do shit because lel, the entire group of enemies is linked, get fucked

I cannot begin to express how much I loved Nightfall and its heroes. I could actually finish Factions, for one.

>>13866761

Roleplaying literally is playing pretend, you git.

>>13866791

>Your brain is full of water.

THAT'S IT, THAT'S THE FUCKING FEELING. Do you people know where it comes from? And how to get rid of it?

>>13866767

No it isn't. Roleplaying is a dynamic, freeform and collaborative form of storytelling. "Roleplaying" in a singleplayer game is honestly quite a sad idea, as it provides none of the enjoyment of proper roleplaying, and it hampers the enjoyment of the game's actual system by applying baseless, ethereal rules to the game, such as having to eat food or rest exclusively in taverns or houses. These things have no impact on the game; your make-belief does not change anything, the NPCs in your playthrough will act the same across all playthroughs.

Am I the only one who plays a skirmish match against the AI, beat it into submission and just build shit on the map? Is that autistic?

Whenever I play Fallout New Vegas I collect every single pencil I find. I try to hoard them and see how many I get during my playthrough.

In Morrowind I use a name generator specific to the race I am picking so that I have a fully authentic experience.

>>13866713

Like 6-8 hours.

>>13866794

The two parts in Prophecies I remember being the most obnoxious were the Jade Armor/Bow that start popping up near the end (non-fleshy) and then the fucking Titans for the last mission. I don't even think the Titan Quests are possible with henchmen only, honestly, unless you put together a really amazing solo build and knew exactly what you were doing. But at that point, the henchmen cease to be relevant to the equation.

>>13866800

It's a trait of autism. You don't happen to switch between hands when you're writing, do you? That's a pretty common one.

A weighted vest might help. Alternatively, stopping to do physical activity like push-ups might be a great way to relieve it. Anything to essentially re-center yourself.

>>13866809

Used to do that all the time.

>>13866817

Define switch between hands while writing.

>>13866410

I need to brush up against every wall and spam A in JRPGs. It got so tedious that I gave up on the genre.

>>13866817

>>13866834

Writing styles, cursive or otherwise, I think. Yeah, I do that too.

>>13866834

In this instance, it would be starting to write a line with the left hand, then meeting at the midway point and switching to write with the right hand. The writing implement is then returned to the middle and returned to the left hand before moving on to the next line.

It has to do with crossing the midline.

>>13866851

No I don't actually do that.

>>13866851

Nope, I'm not ambidextrous.

>>13866853

>>13866856

I wouldn't think so. It's a fairly extreme example. Though ambidexterity isn't really the thing, since from my understanding, those instances often have more to do with a lack of dominance than being fully dominant.

The "off balance" aspects, though, definitely fall under the same category. It's something that someone who actually knows shit in the field could give more information on, but all I have is passing factoids on it, from having family members who worked special education. Strictly speaking, this is the sort of thing that should be addressed from a really young age, but God knows modern educators are too incompetent to manage that.

>>13866864

So what you're saying in the end that we're literally autistic?

I got a pure bladestone in Demon's Souls

I got good enough to finish God Hand on hard with less than 10 continues.

Most autistic of all I play Splatoon

>>13866905

I've beaten Pokemon Emerald back when I didn't know English simply by killing stuff.

>>13866791

You're making me feel it too now, fuck you anon

When my character walks while touching the wall from one side (in 1st person games), I sort of feel as if that same side of my real body was being very slightly touched trhere, it's not unpleasant though. Same if the ceiling of the location I'm walking in in a game is irrationally low, I feel something on the top of my head.

I don't know how to really describe it because it's as if it's being touched and yet it isn't?

I did nothing in my free time but drive around the map in gta 3 for 4 years.

>>13866750

I do that but in real life.

If I hold a cup on one hand for too long I swap hands.

When I kick a ball with a foot I have to do it with the other next

When I bite food with the left side of my mouth I do it with the right one next.

I feel like I'm going to die if I don't do that kind of stuff.

>>13866410

I walk instead of run

>mfw all my playtime hours is 5x the average

>

>can't even beat Doom without taking me two days

Argue about them in imageboards full of trolls and raging manchildren.

>>13867301

Epic burn my man xD

>>13866410

I try to interact with almost every wall or object in games because of hidden stuff I've found in some of them. It's very disappointing when a game doesn't have anything hidden but I spent hours looking anyway.
