What's the concensus, lads?
Its the only hobby that tries to be something more. Saying 'I'm a gamer' has a different feel than 'I'm a birdwatcher' or whatever.
My vote is no, its not a good idea to identify as a gamer.

I have no other choice, anymore. It's all I am and know.
The best way to know that I should ignore that person irl.
Playing video games is one of those hobbies that slowly takes over your entire identity, similar to other hobbies like watching anime, trainspotting or being gay.

I'm many things at the same time. I like to walk, listen to music, play games and touch my gf's boobs.

Being a gayhomofag is a hobby?

Almost everyone's hobby becomes part of their identity. If it doesn't, then you have a shitty low investment hobby like casually watching tv or shitting it up on social media.
There is no surer warning sign that a woman is basic and boring than her not having a passionate hobby

I don't think someone posting a smug flavour of the month meme has a right to talk about women not suiting their standards.
That being said, I'm glad every girl I've dated wasn't some white girl wasted esque normalfag with zero personality.
Short answer: No.
Long Answer: Nooooooooo.

It depends on the situation I'm in, and who I'm talking to. If questioned I will generally admit that I enjoy video games as a passtime, but I'm not gonna tackle the topic in any great length with anyone that I don't atleast suspect as a gamer.
