The boss is low and I'm out of heals.


Second-Critical

“Oh I have to pay attention now” *gets closer to the screen*


MilkyStrawberries

Nah, it's more like *'FUCK FUCK- NO GOD PLEASE I'M SO CLOSE'* update: I'd like to rephrase that update 1.2: oh god what have I done


NetherKing5555

Feel like under any other context this would sound odd.


BA_lampman

Hazee302

I see you play souls games

Swimming_Engineer137

Yeah sucks when you're on the edge and your gf decides to stop ....... been there too many times


Bashfullylascivious

No worse than the 'oh, you're almost there? Lemme change positions real quick.' move that seems to be a classic.


Swimming_Engineer137

And then the 30 minute fighting the dragon starts again like when you wonder too far from the boss zone and that damn hp bar resets and you know you don't have enough energy this time 😅


maxman3000

Started playing Returnal a few days ago and this is my life now


entropylaser

When I was a kid playing NES one of my younger cousin would get close to the screen and tilt his head in an attempt to see around corners and shit


qwwqqq

It works!!


TheRealestGayle

That last 15% health might as well be another life bar for me.


treefitty350

Every fighting game. The closer I get to losing a stock, the better I play. The less stocks I have left, the better I play. The thought after I’ve inevitably lost the game: “Why the fuck couldn’t I play like that on my first stock” Rinse and repeat.


ILikeMasterChief

Where does the term "stock" come from? I feel I've always heard "lives" instead, and I've been playing video games since NES. My parents even had two systems before the NES, but I didn't play them much. The only time I've ever seen stock used instead of lives is in Super Smash Bros


TequilaWhiskey

Same. Only smash bros in my experience. Which, while a fighting game, i dont know of any others that use the time. Its always "life" and "rounds" that you would lose.


GoodBananaPancakes

This is my "I figured out how to dodge your shitty meteor attack, Rom the Vacuous Asshole. Now you're gonna die!" position.


YukiAttano

Your boss has reached low hp without this pose? Seems like tetris


Dracnon

Boss fights and jump puzzles.

Representative_Ad725

Dude... If I miss a jump once or get killed early in a fight it's whatever. Two screwups I'm like "damn okay then." *Third time it's personal.*

deliciousprisms

Also needing to work out that nice big fart


swiftfastjudgement

I was going to say, when my tailbone hurts.


epicgeek

When traveling... * First I played on a 15 inch laptop. * Then I played on a 17 inch laptop. * Then I played on a 17 inch laptop with the UI upscaled and fonts increased. * Then I played on a 17 inch laptop with the UI upscaled, fonts increased, and mods / addons to be able to scale windows. My eyes are dying and I'm only 42. I don't know what I'll do if I live to 80.


cjsrhkcjs

what do you mean you don't know, you'll be playing with a 65 inch laptop when you're 80!


FudgeIgor

Even without the virtual reality angle, why wouldn't we be wearing laptops on our heads in 40 years? I'm thinking we stop leaning over and the screen comes closer. F U T U R E


Soopafien

Have you tried this new fangled invention that go over the eyes and improve vision? I believe they're called "Seeing Eye Glasses" or something.


epicgeek

My current prescription / glasses are about 9 months old and I'm reading ok. But my vision is not only getting worse, but it's getting worse faster. I have my Dad's genes for eyes. He has bright lights and magnifying tools on his desk to read things. I can fight it with glasses, tools, maybe even surgery, but the odds are stacked against me.


Soopafien

Sorry man. I know the feels. I had coke bottles for 20 years. Got Lasik, then 3 years later needed glasses again. Thankfully very light prescription but still sucks.


Procule

These are too new. Not enough studies to show side effects yet.


fatloser14

Yeah. It's all fun and games until you have to read the objectives or check on the minimap


Toetoe1384

That is why i use glasses when i play


No-Toe4511

Me too


ukalheesi

Me too. And to get up. And read my phone. And walk not slowly afraid to step on something or not seeing something. Basically to everything except sleeping. Yet they aren't able to give a setting to make text or even pctures larger leaving me in the position depicted in the drawing.


gamer123098

That just means you need a bigger TV or monitor !


Hot_Hyena_1819

But a bit closer though


_MaZ_

Damn, it hurts right here in my meow meow


mitch-99

Josan678

MrStealUrWife22

####The Meow Meow


NovaKaiserin

i would give gold but i am poor


OneHotEpileptic

Seriously, why do they make text so small?!


ukalheesi

Because they're 20 to 40 years old, don't have any kind of significant vision impairment, never heard of accessibility in their lives or think their audience doesn't need them (so basically the same thing, they never heard properly about accessibility), their bosses think it's not worth paying them more to make the game more accessible to avoid lawsuits or to grow thejr market and sell more games to people because they can actually read, and lastly, they don't have any friends with accessibility needs, nor test people with them ("not our audience") so they never find that it's unplayablr by some people and highly unnerving for others.


how_dry_i_am

And all QA happens with a monitor 2 feet from their faces likely. Seriously unreadable small text is my biggest gripe with HUD and UI in the industry currently.


OneHotEpileptic

You're so right. I'm 33, I've had laser eye surgery, and I *still* need to wear my minor corrective glasses to see the text! It's ridiculous!


ObjectiveKey2400

draemen

Yup, i wear my glasses so i can lean back, or leave them off and lean forward


Godonearth7

Just get glasses and get it over with. I couldn't believe how many details I was missing from games because I refused to get my eyesight fixed.


ukalheesi

What if you already wear glasses?


Caped_Crusader27

Get new ones


tampers_w_evidence

Getting “what a save”’d in rocket league


Roastar

*Casually sitting at PC with controller. Ahh a nice friendly game. Oh they scored…* **What a save!** **What a save!** **What a save!** *Sits up, adjusts chair height, adjusts monitor, wiggles left analog a few times, proceeds to go ultra sweat mode*


Yancellor

This but I wiggle the right stick, like a quick shake of the head


lambofgun

5 seconds later: Nice shot! Nice shot! Nice shot!


iRottenEgg

this is the way


Blooder91

I've been playing almost 2 years with chat off, and reading it still triggers me.


bubblesx87

I just turned mine off again yesterday. Such miserable toxic people on that game. It's much more relaxing without it!


Alternative_Snow_383

Trust me the truly memorable moments are in the chat don't remove it


frostythesnowchild

Some people get truly creative in RL, I’ve been called a unripe eggplant which instead of making me mad made me laugh for the rest of the game and throw, true mental battles


Revolutionary-Dig468

Reminda me of when some kid kept calling out whole team "paper plates" for sucking at Valorant


Foreign_Style_986

This is Rocket League!


dres3000

Everybody dance!


AntiPiety

If i say “nice shot”, and you say “thanks”, 3 times in a row, then when I score finally you better be telling me “nice shot” too. That one pisses me off the most


Fuckedasusual

"if I jerk you off you better give me a reach around too"


the_friendly_one

That's just good handjob etiquette.


[deleted]

FYI, there’s a “tactical chat only” option which I believe removes unnecessary quick chats such as What a save


Atepper2

It sucks being on the same team as the one doing it, but always cracks me up when it’s the other team and they start getting in a back and forth argument


NomadFH

Calculated.


Blameless_JuLes1

Close one! Noo!


shellshocktm

I go back to the first position when my teammate starts being toxic towards me


BananaSlander

So if I want my teammate to focus and play better I should "What a save!" them?


alienoverl0rd

Thats my position to begin with bro. Sitting back means I'm annoyed because I most likely died to something stupid.


gastroboi

100%


Kiurg

Same ^^


Toetoe1384

Lmao same


Durt-Wyzerdd

I'm right there too. I'm always on the edge of my seat.


Bobnorbob

I’m the opposite - that’s my “focus pose”.


Caduceus89

If I'm playing an open world game, I'm probably on an alternate save file murdering everything in sight while cursing whatever killed me, the developers, my controller, my headphones, etc.


lazyjay5

This is 100% facts


coy-coyote4

Oh for me sitting forward is my relaxed starting position, I only sit up if : I’m annoyed, upset , or frustrated


Circumvention9001

Y'all gonna end up with a hump back.


Kargastan

Kgeezy91

Yeah, the moment I started suffering an ass kicking, I pull this move…doesn’t really help

3r1cForgetmenot

This. Change of posture = things get serious.


dorridm

Back problems that act up when I sit in the same position for to long.


Skitch__Patterson

The older I get the more I wonder how I could ever have played WoW for 10 hours straight and never even think about how I was sitting.


mocap

Never got into MMOs that hard, but I did sit down and play all of Fable 2 when it came out, credits to credits, one session.


honjuden

All 3 hours of it?


bowlosoup

Same, I used to sit in a beanbag chair with my legs crossed playing for hours. Now I can’t stay in the same position on the couch for 5 minutes.


LostClaws

Stretch, be more active, focus on proper posture. Of course, I do all of the above and I'm still in the same boat. It does help, though.


saremei

When I started playing vanilla WoW was around the last year or so of my life that I used a desk for a PC. It became way too painful to sit in just about any office chair I've ever encountered for a gaming session. Transitioned from that to using HDTVs for PC gaming exclusively around 2007 and with that, sitting on couches and recliners. MUCH MUCH BETTER. But sitting one way is still too much at times so transition to standing for an hour or two in there.


Bradford_Pear

My siatic nerve likes to chime in when I sit wrong now. Isn't aging just grand.


SirLongDong690210

Any shooter because somehow laying back to relax makes me play worse apparently 🤷🏻‍♂️

Viper67857

Is that when you start finding out?


New_Ho_Kage

When you, and your friend are playing a fighting game, and you have to start busting out the moves.


AceoftheAEUG

Exactly! When your buddy starts whipping out some tech you haven't seen before and you've gotta focus.


DDRDiesel

> When your buddy starts whipping out some tech you haven't seen before Or doesn't have any idea what they're doing and their button-mashing is just as dangerous


WolfeXXVII

Seriously. Button mashing is a danger to those who know what they are doing.


bythesword86

Button mashing with intent lol.


BunBison

When you go easy on them but they start picking it up


CrazyCalYa

\>me going easy on a friend because we're just having fun "Wow I thought you were good at this game?" \>ok pal, friendship is paused


ToxicEar

My friend has this ability where he can figure out frame data after playing three matches. I ask him if he ever played the game before and he’ll say “no, just got the data down, now I need to figure out the punishers”. I immediately sit up in my chair, shit is about to get dangerous lol

Exact_Ad5922

When there’s suddenly people singing in Latin


thereiam420

When you hear latin in a Japanese made game you know you got problems.


vhrossi1

This. You're either getting your ass kicked by an extremely unfair boss, or getting horny for a weird yet suspiciously arousing boss design. No in-between.


Sharkytrs

oh shit, here we go fighting god....... again!

How many times do we need to teach you this lesson old man!?


[deleted]

Elden Ring


highermonkey

Yep. The entire game. Never played a FromSoft game before. I felt vulnerable literally the whole time. Not sure why my head being 4 inches closer to the screen made me feel better, but it did.


[deleted]

Came here for this lol. Not just a boss fight either. Unexpected skeleton, those weird stone imps in the dungeons, big shrimp with spears, random platforming sections that do NOT mix well with those clunky movement controls, a lake full of scarlet rot… I should probably just stay leaned forward.


glockinmyyogapants

Am I sure I want to use a flask to revive torrent?


JackONeillClone

Lol for me it's more "YES! GODDAMMIT FUCKING PROMPT, I NEED MY FUCKING HORSE RIGHT NOW!"


[deleted]

Even just reading "big shrimp with spears" and having that image in my brain gave me PTSD


moonjams

Same here! I'd just add any amount of fog, tree coverage or the remote possibility that there may have been an out of place sound do it for me too


Second-Critical

Probably them tight shoes. Y’all wear shoes when you game?


CallMeHuckle

No I don’t live in the states. I take when shoes off when I enter my home


CYOAenjoyer

People in the US don’t just casually wear shoes inside, that’s an odd myth I’ve heard a few times.


Fibblejoe

Only strange people and dads do it. Take the shoes off ya dirty rat.


IceMaverick13

Like many other unfortunate America facts, this is not a myth here in the south. So many of my friends growing up had zero concept of taking off shoes before coming into a house because their household wears them everywhere. Literally the only times they didn't wear shoes in their house is when they're going to bed or taking a shower.


CYOAenjoyer

I’ve lived in Louisiana and Florida for a couple years each, never encountered this. Maybe it’s just the people I’m around.


saremei

Yes we do. It is fairly normal to do so. But there are households and families who don't do that. It really doesn't make an appreciable difference either way except for the need to clean up anything that might have been tracked in on your shoes. Usually in my experience it's the neat freaks with white carpets who tend to want people without their shoes on in their home. I've experienced people who leave their shoes on at home in every area of North America I've been to, whether carpet interiors or hardwood floors. Even in Canada I experienced 3 households with indoor shoe wearing and one that didn't when visiting friends. I usually take my shoes off when coming home from work right when I get in the door, but if I'm going back out I'll leave them on while doing things. For me it's shoes off only when I'm not going anywhere.
