Nah, watching let's plays as your main 'hobby' is rightfully embarrassing. At least play the game yourself or something, jeez. It's even more cringy that they're trying to frame it as something more interesting and complicated than it is:
"You did well to find that one"
"Wow, there's a lot of complicated terminology"

What, finding just a random series of videos on a dude's youtube channel is difficult? C'mon, it's just bloviating at this point.

Not that I'm saying watching let's plays is a bad thing, but trying to desperately hype it up and put it on a pedestal like this when it really is bottom of the barrel entertainment is lame.

That's just like, your opinion, man. Let people like what they want. Trying to force your own preferences on other people is what is truly lame, bro.

I usually watch Let's Plays of games I am interested in but one I really know I won't be enjoying to play myself. I can understand Ryuuto's enthusiasm about the subject. There really are games you enjoy even more by watching someone play it, than playing it yourself.

Sadly if i could afford to buy even half the games I want to play I would and then i would play them. But I am strapped for cash pretty much all the time cause of rent and an ongoing legal situation with my landlord that costs me lawyer money. Plus student loan debt -_-. Thus I watch let's plays of games I am interested in or wish i could play but can't. And let me tell you, finding a let's play of a game is hard enough without having to deal with finding a let's player that would play the game like i would so im not screaming at the screen in anger all the time. Double that frustration if its not a mainstream game that major youtubers play.

I'm not ragging against watching let's plays, like I said at the bottom of my comment, I just found the way it was presented so grandiosely (if I remember correctly) in this chapter to be kinda cringe given what it is. I watch them too for some games - usually horror since I don't enjoy playing those games, but they're fun to watch.

And though I'm quite late at responding to this guy:

My dude, we're in a comment section for a comic chapter. The chapter is about a dude's hobby being 'watching let's plays' and acting as if it's something grand or difficult to understand. It's no more impressive than saying your hobby is watching reality TV, nor any more difficult to get into. Why can't I comment on it and say it's a dumb hobby?
You probably watch youtube, but is watching youtube your hobby?
Is watching television your hobby?
Is watching movies your hobby?
Is listening to music your hobby?
Despite doing all those things you wouldn't (likely) say so, because they're non-participatory things, and calling it a hobby is silly.

It would have made more sense if his hobby was gaming, and he just enjoyed let's plays as a thing to watch like the guy above.

Even if you disagree with everything I said, yeah it is MY opinion... in a forum to share these opinions. So there is no 'forcing of opinions' here. No need to be so snide about it.

Yeah, watching let's plays is one of my hobbies. It makes me feel bad when you call my hobby dumb, and it's especially annoying when it's for a silly reason. You're free to have that opinion, and I'm free to think you're being lame for having it. It'd be cooler if you just accepted that other people like things that you don't like and not try to make it out as if there's something objectively bad about liking that thing.

Haha, well no wonder you were salty. Do you seriously call it one of your hobbies though? If someone asked you what hobbies you have, would you really say "watching let's plays"? I'm not trying to be an ass, I think it's just a bad way of selling yourself to others. You yourself even framed it as being just "one of your hobbies" (to imply you have better hobbies), so you likely wouldn't, particularly to someone you're romantically interested in (like mc did in this comic).

Despite this, I'll say it again for the third time in these comments, I don't see anything wrong with watching let's plays. I watch them. My issue comes from framing them in such a grandiose way, and the MC having it as his MAIN hobby.

So continue enjoying watching your let's plays, don't let me stop you or make you feel bad about it, but I would think twice about using it as a way of introducing yourself when talking about your hobbies.
Feel free to continue thinking I'm lame though, it's all cool.

Yeah, it's not my one and only hobby, I have others. However, I absolutely would not be ashamed to tell someone I'm romantically interested in about it. If that's a turn-off for them, that's a huge turn-off for me, so I'll be grateful to find that out early. And frankly, I respect the MC for not being a coward and trying to hide what they like just cause some assholes might judge them because it doesn't fit into their narrow view of what a hobby ought to be. I'm sure you're a nice person in general, but this one opinion I do think is lame, sorry.

Blud thinks he's playing 5d chess trying to hold her hands while he's actually playing 1d chess.

I used to watch these let's plays when I was younger but I rarely watch them anymore, but when I do watch them I go to aliensrock. Not only I can find good puzzle games there but it's rare to find a non-yelling and an actually smart YTer nowadays.

my notes to this chapter:
I really wanna punch that black haired bitch in the face

Werewolf was a cool game I played it on my campingtrips as a child

the question is why he would use the opportunity to show his gf a video of his favorite let's player to show her a fricking shooter lets play? Like c'mon man do you really expect your gf to like fricking shooters? A normal girlfriend wouldn't really like that at all lol.

It is kinda sad that girls like her are not really existing irl I mean sure there are prob some somewhere but like most girls aren't trying to get to know what her partner likes and then try to understand it. Not like most guys are any better.

Just an observation, but her super glossy eyes and the 3 or so pages of her holding the same expression make her almost look soulless. That, coupled with her general ignorance, made her seem like a puppet this chapter lol
