Does the term "gamer" make anybody else's skin crawl?

What else are you supposed to call people who play games then?

>>376361532
losers

>>376361532
athletes

>>376361532
People who play video games.

Just like how you don't call people who watch tv "Teevers" or some retarded shit like that.

>>376361532
6 checkers

>>376361532
Manchildren
failures
pedophiles

The list goes on.

It's not. It used to be, but that was before the medium as a whole was tarnished by grossly overweight slobs and petulant manchildren.

It used to, but now whenever I hear the word I think of marketers trying to shill their razor mousepads.

Weird to be called a "retro gamer" but I guess that's what I am.

You have it backwards. If anything playing games went from being something only ultra nerds do in their basement to something even your gf does on the phone or skyrim/zelda or w/e

No, but when it's used in a marketing or mainstream sense, it's tiresome.

>>376361419
It does
It never has a use.
Gamers aren't different.

>>376362174
And yet the manchildren and slobs still haven't gotten the clue to fuck off and stop ruining it for everybody else.

>>376361419

How about the word PRO? Why do game controllers have to be called pro now?

Fucking leave then. If you don't want to be associated with then don't come and shit up our games and boards with your shit opinions.

>>376361419
No, because I'm not an autust

Nice projection, my 65 IQ friend. This problem could be fixed by barring people over a certain weight from buying games. As for digital stores, a basic IQ test should be required for every purchase.

This place is awesome
So much slap talking goin on
