For context, my brother (24M) has been invested in the video game series of Hyperdimension Neptunia since late high school/early college. As far as I understand, the series is about this group of anime girl goddesses that rule over different parts of a world called "Gamindustri." It’s a huge parady from the console wars of the late 2000s/early 2010s specifically.
I (22M) wrote it off, as most of the time I watching him play the games, they seemed to be the same, but the spin-offs with different game styles are pretty cool. One spin off game in particular came up in conversation recently, where the goddesses are ninjas, and play in a action/hack & slash gameplay, as opposed to classic JRPG gameplay. I did watch him play the game a couple years ago, though I don’t recall much of the game, aside for the jiggle physics. When the characters moved, they moved even faster, and the characters might’ve been a bit more serious than the main games.
When it came up tonight, I didn’t remmeber what it was called, but I remembered the jiggle physics. He didn’t like that that was the first thing I thought of, and hasn’t talked to me since.
We’re both autistic, so it could be a hyperfixation of his, or I might be a perv, but he generally doesn’t like when I point out or joke about anything about anything he likes, even if I’m a fan as well.
TL;DR AITA for remembering the boobs first from his game?
It’s a joke lol.
You don’t care for the games, but you try to remember. (If the game genre isn’t for you, you remember the easy to notice things)
My wife plays Baldurs Gate 3, and I call it her “Dating simulator”, because that’s all I see her giggling and stressing over lmao.
NTA for calling the game “boob physics”
Man uh… no, nta I guess…
NTA. The moment you said the title it was NTA, It’s fuckin Neptunia! If you aren’t a super fan the boobs are *always* the first thing you remember.
Except Blanc because she doesn’t have boobs.
NTA. This is a very childish thing to be upset about.
NTA dude is just embarrassed he’s playing a boob game
NTA.
I looked up the game. It is absolutely understandable that this is “the boob game.”
It’s like if her hair stood straight up.
Or she had a unicorn horn.
Or if she had giant neck frills like a dilophosaurus.
It’s unusual and therefore noteworthy.
what the fuck
Pics or it didn’t happen.
I think it’s fine. I’ve played those games and the earlier ones didn’t really have the same sort of bounce hah.
So he’s probably just grumpy/sad you weren’t into the story as much as he was. And you know he doesn’t like his hobbies being made fun of.
You should have just said you didn’t remember the name of the game.
I also got a little grumpy at my friend calling Xeno Saga “sexy robot game”. But I didn’t stop talking to them.
I think ESH
You knew he wouldn’t like what you said.
He is over reacting
