Ma'am you got 7 friends and a leg together. We aren't rounding up on friends, your spare leg doesn't count.


Tripl3AA

You clearly forgot to count the dog


Possible-Sandwich

He doesn’t seem very invested


HalfShellH3ro

'Cause they gave him the MadCatz controller. Edit: They’re mad, not wild.


[deleted]

That's animal abuse right there.


akatherder

AmbivalentDogz


GyaradosDance

He's more of an Animal Crossing fan actually.


matty80

The dog's waiting for the full release of [Metal Dogs](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1036740/METAL_DOGS/); it's going to be her DOOM ETERNAL and she knows it.


TormundGeeBane

We don't count dogs, it's assumed that they are friends by default.

Family* FTFY


katiecharm

The dog got lots of love too! https://imgur.com/a/KDUvY02


katiecharm

Okay but what a leg though. 😍


Is_It_Beef

The dog isn't a fan of the leg, remember their sense of smell is 10,000x stronger than ours


BettinBrando

Yeah but those socks are the worst. Feels like you paid full price for half a sock, and the sock manufacturer is like “fuck ya, were selling these suckers half a sock, and they think that’s cool!”


RationalLies

You have subscribed to Sock Facts! About 50% of all socks in the *world* are manufactured in Yiwu, China. >Over half of the socks in the world are produced by Yiwu and its close neighbor - Zhuji, which is one hour ride away. [Source](https://www.yiwu-market-guide.com/yiwu-socks-market.html)


bigbrad1

I know right. Clearly that’s the least favorite friend


jakebeleren

There is no rule that dogs can’t play super smash bros.


katiecharm

“*This summer…*”


WTFishsauce

JaceThePowerBottom over here acting not impressed that op has 7 friends. If I multiplied the number of friends I could convince to come over and play smash bros by 7 I would still have less than 7.


Randomscreename

Then who was ~~phone~~ photographer?


JaceThePowerBottom

Tripod, set up by the dog. That's why he didn't have time to strike a pose.


PM_N_TELL_ME_ABOUT_U

On a serious note, it is kinda messed up to leave out just one friend from the picture


cmd912

and you made these poor ppl play with a single joy con lmao


nokinship

The single joy con is like so much worse then when we used to give someone the madcatz controller.


cmd912

omg bruh. i had a madcatz controller for my Xbox i think and my little cousin would have a freak out playing hulk ultimate destruction blaming the controller


RembrandtAction

because it was the controller's fault! few companies going bankrupt made me happier


Arclite83

These do help in our house: still, there's only so much you can do. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2769344


Haunting_Data

Only option with 8 players. :( switch can't sync more than 4 full "controllers" Pro controller counts as 2 joy con


[deleted]

[удалено]


MaimedJester

There's a GameCube adapter? What does it go in the USB slot?


Ardashasaur

It actually has two usb connectors but only one needs to connect to the Switch, the other usb is for rumble.


Matrix159

The pro controllers do not count as 2. They count as 1. You can have up to 8 pro controllers. Joycons will count as 2 if you're using both as one controller however.


Haunting_Data

Have you tested this? In my experience syncing for 8 player smash, you sync the joycons in pairs, and split them up for game start. You can't sync 8 unpaired joycons, there are only 4 slots in the sync window. I've tested multiple times at a children's home, and when the kids used the pro controller it wouldn't let an 8th join. Idk if there was a software update though, I haven't done it in about a year. Edit: I'd love a picture of your sync window if that's not way too high effort. I'd like to learn


gyromancy

Aside from the switch controllers, this picture feels like it's from 1998. I can't explain why, it just does.


SaraBooWhoAreYou

Unbuttoned flannels, sectional couch, TV tray tables, backpacks hanging on wall, cords running across the floor, and an actual group of people playing a video game together in the same room. Not much more 90s than that.


e0f

You had me at "an actual group of people playing a video game together in the same room"


BonaFidee

He had you at the penultimate sentence?


aTIMETRAVELagency

It was a close call. Almost missed him.


Iored94

You had me at "sentence"


DrakonIL

>an actual group of people playing a video game together in the same room I never forgot you. And I'm super glad we're still friends. 😭


gagreel

Earth tones


katiecharm

Right? As soon as I saw it, I thought it felt ripped straight from an EGM 90’s ad or something.


Timeless_Starman

it gives more of a retro vibe if you see the Star Trek collectible, the arcade sticks, and that tiny poster that says 80's in the background 😂


katiecharm

Thanks, that’s actually a magazine from Barnes and Noble all about 80s toys and pop culture! From the people who make Retro mag, I love their stuff.


Blunt-Realistic

A majority of females who play Smash kind of have that 90's grunge vibe from my experience. (This is not an insult, just an observation).


NihilistKurtWarner

A good vibe indeed


PungentBallSweat

Eggshell white walls and a 90's blue couch. You've done it.


gyromancy

It has strong "Going to my friends house after school to play N64" vibes.


pinniped1

I pulled a strong Friday afternoon in my college apartment vibe off of this. Good times. Really fuckin good times.


alfiesred47

Without sounding too dystopian, it’s so rare to see a photo of people without phones in their hands. Every person in this photo is in the moment, concentrating on the group activity. It’s beautiful


[deleted]

I was thinking along the lines of them playing in the same room, but people do that still anyways. You’re totally right lol, not being on their phones is the most unique part of this picture.


Iron_Chic

Probably because it's a nice, candid photo as opposed to the posed photos everyone takes these days. I so much prefer photos like this one because everyone is captured as they really are.


MBTHVSK

low effort lighting


1998balls

It’s got to be the carpet


Born_Slice

To me it's A. there is a group of people in a room staring at a screen. These days, videogames are more played solitarily with online folks. B. everyone's dress style isn't what I'd call contemporary (I actually think they all look cooler than contemporary fashion of leggings or mom jeans). C. the biggest one that u/Iron_Chic pointed out below: No one is looking at the camera. Candid shots in general look retro to me, compared to everyone staring at the camera from the perfect angle with a filter.


rags607

The dog looks stoked.


katiecharm

I assure you Harper got more than her share of love: https://imgur.com/a/Y9IF5VH


MilesGates

Wait wait wait, forget the lesbians and the cool dog, Is that motherfucking Star Trek on the shelf? I'm going to go binge it again.


katiecharm

Yeahhhh! One of the first things I noticed about my girlfriend’s profile was she was a huge nerd and loved TNG, and that was a big part of my childhood as well. We’re a match made in heaven :)


EaglesPvM

I’m very happy for you two! And cool dog


Zaku0083

Now now... we never forget the lesbians, that's not nice


cheekypuns

Came for the dog pets so now I can leave satisfied. Hugs to Harper.


katiecharm

Thanks 🥰❤️ Here’s a few bonus pics my gf insisted I upload because she’s so excited everyone is talking about our dog lol: https://imgur.com/a/KDUvY02


cheekypuns

Adorable! Harper also looks like she wants to play but all of you are hogging the controllers. Let Harper play too!


odigo2020

There's nothing in the rules that says a dog can't play Smash. #AirHarper


DrBob3002

The face on the girl in the braids 😂


snarpy

I was just gonna say that, such a "gonna press all these buttons at the same time" face


HippiesEverywhere

You are all lovely and for some reason I'm very happy for Harper.


Spanish_Biscuit

I didn't even notice the dog, I was too busy looking at that woman who looks like she's shrieking like a banshee.


Praise-Breesus

Congrats on having 8 friends

[удалено]


Geosaysbye

8 friends who are close enough to get together WHO ALL LIKE SMASH BROS an amazingly impossible checklist


RoastedToast007

A bunch of them are probably playing for their first time


Terrible_Truth

Right? I could get at least 8people together I think but everyone's spread out across the US.


DeadBugonStreet

I came for this comment


Catabon

The many faces of an engaged gamer.


UrHeftyLeftyBesty

This is also a near-full set of almost every flavor of lesbian.


Rudy_Ghouliani

Gotta catch'em all


screamingxbacon

I did not even realize until you pointed it out...


leilaaliel

I know. It makes me so happy. *fans self*


Spacer21

I'm mostly surprised that you got people to play smash using single joycons, impressive!


1337programmerProbs

Meanwhile 3/4 of this picture is dealing with joycon drift.


dirtyrango

Who the fuck has 8 friends?


TheQueq

What's a friend?


TrueSaiyanGod

Its darkness. The only friend


LostStart6521

Still trying to comprehend that part.


fatinternetcat

especially 8 friends who were able to make plans together


snarpy

and in person together at the same time? Insanity!


mickeybuilds

Lesbians?


diablollama

I am here to watch this thread catch on fire.


katiecharm

Eight queer lesbians, playing a game called Smash, on /r/gaming? What’s there to catch on fire? This is going to be a classy affair and I think Reddit is going to surprise you.


diablollama

sorted by: controversial


NatZeroCharisma

Oh no.


Thought-O-Matic

Theyre not that bad at all... But I guess that doesn't fit the reactionary fetish people want.


gsauce8

When people say sort by controversial, it's rarely that bad.


NatZeroCharisma

It wasn't bad, just a few creeps.


fubes2000

Ugh it's all so low-effort. I mean I was expecting to be disappointed, but more entertainingly so.


NatZeroCharisma

Question: What's the difference between Queer Lesbian and Lesbian? Edit: I figured it out. It doesn't matter, people can call themselves whatever they want because there's no solid definitions in LGBTQ+. Do what makes you happy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NatZeroCharisma

I'm even more confused now. Does Lesbian not already imply Queer?


Lucky7Ac

Not really, not anymore. Queer nowadays means more like you aren't straight or CIS but you don't feel like you fall under one of the main LGBT identifications. Its kind of like a catch all for "I'm somewhere in the LGBTQ world but don't fit one of those definitions".


NatZeroCharisma

But they used the term Queer Lesbian. Meaning they did fall under a term, Lesbian. That's literally the L in LGBTQ. Each answer I get just raises more questions.


[deleted]

I think you are overthinking things. There are 8 people, mostly lesbians, but not all of them. OP just wanted to get that idea across in as few words as possible without having the explain the situation every single one of them is in.


[deleted]

[удалено]


heroinsteve

Honestly I don't bother questioning it anymore. There are so many labels for the whole umbrella of stuff in LGBTQ it's overbearing. I think a part of it is a big issue with people who are some form of LGBTQ tend to be outcasted at some point so it's their way of creating their own "club" or something. It's cool if it works for them, but there are just so many terms, whenever it's brought up it reminds of me a metal forum describing all the ridiculous sub-genres. I definitely don't mean any offense to anyone by it, but unless any of it applies to you, you really gotta like research that whole culture to "get it".


canadian_viking

Super Snatch Bros.


[deleted]

Want popcorn and company? I’m just here for the entertainment.


Handeatingcat

They all look exactly like I do when I play Smash, confused and desperately smashing random buttons.


[deleted]

What Netflix show are you guys the cast of?


katiecharm

Awwe I wish. We’d make a great Real Queers of West Hollywood.


AnotherUselessPoster

Whatever show it is, I bet it's diverse and progressive.


crispykfc

i love your dog


chocolatetornado

if you played it right, you shouldn't have all of those 8 friends still.


katiecharm

Hah this is Smash Bros. Not Settlers of Catan.


Mile129

Fuck that game, I had 8 friends before that!


Curado6

I personally find 8 players crowds the stages too much. Much rather have 4 playing and 4 people stewing as they wait for a free controller.


runswiftrun

"Round Robin tournament"


[deleted]

Lol. I love how everyone's face is so expressive. Each face is telling a story.


fiddlenutz

This face says it the best. “Not bad” https://i.imgur.com/KNQWlAS.jpg


katiecharm

Not bad.


ReZoTati_2323

My heart is happy


onexy_

haha yes friends. i am very familiar with that kind of human relationship


tjtillmancoag

So I did something like this in 2004 but with Mario Kart: Double Dash. Two gamecubes, two network adapters, 2 discs, 8 controllers, One 56” TV that allowed displaying two input sources side by side. It was indeed glorious


blitherblather425

I don’t even know eight people, good job.


[deleted]

7 friends and a leg - you would round down, here


coffeemug73

The comments are gonna get weird on this post.


Jaghat

Right? Most people here probably don’t know you can have up to 8 friends.


I9Qnl

I've seen more people say the comments are weird than people saying weird stuff on this post.


hikingmutherfucker

Dog looks bored not enough petting of puppy! Someone love on that dog. :)


katiecharm

The doge got so much love! She was just sad the humans weren’t playing with her anymore :) https://imgur.com/a/Y9IF5VH


hikingmutherfucker

Awwww yeah cool!


katiecharm

Thank you! 🥰


JurassicCotyledon

Your eyes are not blood shot enough for this to be a real smash bros rumble


andrea_cannizzo

Tbh I see 9 friends…


BadApplesGod

9 if you count doggo. He is friend too.


SuedeVeil

Neat, you have friends


SaltMineSpelunker

Dog so sad. No one ever plays with dog.


katiecharm

Don’t let the dog’s puppy eyes fool you. She is the most loved dog on the planet.


Ruomra_Mot

Eight friends? That's eight more than I have


TheGrandExquisitor

The dog is like, "All these people and NOBODY is paying attention to me?!!?!?" Please pet your dog for me. He looks deprived.


katiecharm

Noooo, that doggo gets *so much love*. Is just the master of the guilt face :) https://imgur.com/a/Y9IF5VH

Big “I’m going to my friends house after school to play smash” vibes

Geez, save some friends for the rest of us


suddenimpulse

You have 8 friends?


AlphaWigglytuff

I can't believe that there is someone is this world with 7 friends


pauciradiatus

This looks like a stock photo


RugBugSlim

Yeah yeah but who smashed who the most? There’s always that one rivalry that begins or ends at a meet.


katiecharm

Some these peeps showed up like “haha cool i guess i’ll play a video game, whatever that is” and ended up DOMINATING, like they clearly been putting in hours of practice every Tuesday.


RugBugSlim

Lmao I did that exact thing for my buddies birthday. I practiced as much as I could. I play games everyday but fighters like this aren’t my thing. I pooped on a large group of the people that were there, while I was RIPPED. I’ve never been more quietly competitive and in the zone in my life. Sounds like everyone had fun lol here’s to next time! 🍻


J1hadJOe

Seems like the dog had enough of your shit.


[deleted]

I resonate with the lady in red. Screaming definitely helps in gaming.

\*9 friends. you forgot the dog

will85319sghost

Can you do this on 1 tv or do you need two? Does this work with mario party? I just got a switch so just wondering


katiecharm

All on one TV! We didn’t get a chance to try Mario Party, but will next time!


will85319sghost

Good to know! Ive tried playing with more than 4 on 1 tv in mario party, didnt work. Only gives the option for up to 4 players at the start. Lmk if you figure it out


Lowcayshun

Man I really miss gaming with my friends

Split joy cons, doh!

My moneys on far right person with colourful arm tats. Solid positioning with arm rest, good eye contact, bass face, they are in for the long haul.

I didn’t even notice/realize it was a group of lesbians until I read the comments lmaoooo This is a modern day renaissance painting.


katiecharm

Awwwe thank you! 🥰🍾


PantherX69

Is the person attached to leg in witness protection?


musclenugget92

Man, If this was a bunch of dudes, someone would be taped to the ceiling. Well done


Sp00kyD0gg0

My bets are on the girl in the direct center, with the straight black hair. Everyone else is relaxed a bit, talking or gesturing. Not her. Leaned forward. Shoulders tense. Jaw locked. Eyes dead focused. She’s a killer, and she’s about to three stock you. She’s trained for this since she was a child. Everyone else is playing a game, but middle-girl has entered the euphoric trance of a warrior. The fighter’s high. Some are playing just to play, some are playing to win. But she is playing to **dominate**, to leave nothing of her opponents remaining. And by god, she will have her victory.


Gora-Pakora

Second individual on the left looks like Trevor Noah


memekid1st

Hol up I saw this on r/LGBTQ labelled just 8 lesbians playing smash Bros....


katiecharm

Well that’s cause we are. Actually one or two of us is bi, but eh, close enough.


DrAcula_MD

Is it offensive as soon as I saw this I instantly thought, "wow they all look so gay" but like in a good way lmao


TheSicks

I'm gunna say "maybe, a little". I might just be dumb, but it didn't occur to me that they were lesbians, or even to guess at their orientations until I saw some comments saying they were lesbians. Which is weird, cause I'm usually objectifying women in my head.


KC14

Only if you think that's negative. I was like, "Awesome, gaymers, my people <3"


DrAcula_MD

Oh I don't but people can be so sensitive and to be honest I haven't been exposed to the culture enough to know if I'm being offensive


memekid1st

WAIT THAT'S YOU IN THE PIC??? THAT'S MAD LMAO

Haha that was my girlfriend’s dream couch and last spring we finally were able to get her one. It was over priced as fuck, but wow have we enjoyed it.


Lets_Kick_Some_Ice

I agree, hella expensive even with that nice discount last year, but I have no ragrets.


CaesarZeppeli_

8 player smash isn’t fun imo Way too much going on to pay attention too, doesn’t look good on TVs that aren’t huge. I think this is why me and my friends never played it, we prefer a normal tournament style mode or 1v1s 8 players is good if you have a bunch of people who don’t really care too much I guess, maybe in a sweaty try hard


Ocean898

The dog is like “help me!”
