I always wear a video game shirt when I meet women, just to weed out the judgmental ones. Everyone feel free to take this advice.

I made this for another thread but it's applicable here:

Video game shirts in your imagination:

Video game shirts in real life:


If that doesn't convince you, let me present an acute instance of usgamersitis:

Let me post video game shirts in real life:

Guy with shirt: ...
Guy that sees guy with shirt: ...

Interaction over.

And maybe in a few cases

Guy that sees shirt: Nice shirt
Guy with shirt: Thanks

Interaction over

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Guy with shirt: ...
Guy that sees guy with shirt: ...

Well yes. Actually commenting on the shirt is just recognizing your shared, secret shame.

Why wear a video game shirt in that case? Why not buy a real legit good shirt people can be impressed with without admitting to being the biggest nerd?

The best, practical outcome from a video game shirt is this:
But the joke here is on Cap, because he's so out of touch.

But it wasn't an interaction at all.

I wear video game shirts because I feel like it?

Why are you so embarrassed to display your liking of and interest in a computer game?

We're not in school any more. We can tell the world "yes, I enjoy this" without having to hide in shame or worry what the "cool kids" think.
 
im spending a bunch of money to go see people play video games

I'm going to be doing residence shopping in addition to the gamez, so there's that. does anyone here live in Seattle/Tacoma? If so, add me on Steam. I'd like to talk. Looking to relocate from Miami. Hollatchaboi.

Remember when people played video games as a way to escape judgemental people?

Gamers have been some of the most judgmental people on the fucking earth. Though I suppose this wasn't made apparent until the advent of internet forums. Watching the ever-picked-on doing the bullying is some of the saddest shit ever.

I bet you all dress worse than me.

Post your shoes and we'll be able to answer this in short order.

Especially if you've got any sense of aesthetics and can figure out which shirts don't look awful.

yea, that's the big issue. too many brightass colors and giant, hideous logos and shit.

I don't know why they think gamers can't appreciate subtlety.

But we've already shared not-gaudy options in the thread and you shot them down?

only thing I've seen shot down is polos...because they're polos. in 2015. how about a nice button-down in a modern fit with the same logo on the side, for example?

Only the polo one, as far as I can see.

And I dislike polos for personal reasons.

(They're dull.)

There's a point in between "walking meme" and "flat color", like there is between "walking advertisement" and "flat color/plaid" for regular shirts, that you just need to find and I haven't seen it yet.

I recall seeing a fairly attractive person on the bus. Wearing an N7 shirt. I was like wtf is N7. I thought it was a sideways 27 or ZL or some shit.

Fucking gamer.s

Yup, my bad. I thought you had said you disliked one of the other ones which now I can't find. I'm losing my fucking mind.

**I would buy that bastion shirt. Mental for that game.

I think ever since Rhonda Rousey wore a fucking Over 9000 shirt to Wrestlemania of all things people have been more comfortable wearing DBZ shirts (on the other hand is anybody going to tell Rhonda Rousey what to wear?)
