what do you think of a person that calls themselves a gamer

>>388233134
From personal experience anybody who referred to themselves as a gamer was usually a goof.

playing videogames is a huge part of my life, in fact if i am not sleeping i am probably playing one. but im not going to consider that my identity, i recognize i dont have any hobbies and am not interested in any of them either and would be satisfied enough not having anything to talk about with strangers because i dont and saying what games you like isn't an interesting topic anyways

>>388233134
I think games are getting the point of ubiquity where the label isn't needed any more. I mean, everyone watches movies, reads, listens to music, and no one calls themselves a "movier", "booker", or "music'er".

I think of someone who cares more about his image, than actually playing video games, like women who try to attract attention by pretending they like a topic. I imagine such a person would mainly focus on modern shooting games and mobas and occasionally ironic games like Goat Simulator.

So is your problem purely with the word formation process, or...?

There basically aren't rules for this shit.

>>388235481
There sorta are. Driver comes from the verb to drive, shopper, from the verb to shop.
There exist a verb to game, but it means something completely different.
This gamer bullshit comes from the NOUN game, and videogame at that. There is already a noun to describe someone who plays games, and yes, it comes from the verb to play.
Anyone who uses the term gamer is factually retarded.

No, it comes from the verb "to game" which in turn comes from the noun "game". There is no other noun to describe someone who plays video games.

Usually it indicates that gaming is a significant aspect of their life, but their games of choice are almost always entry-level or mainstream titles. There's nothing wrong with enjoying these kinds of games, but you'd think that somebody with enough dedication to call themselves a 'gamer' would want to experience a large variety of games from every genre, time period, or developer, especially given how much they tend to flaunt the fact they play games. I don't like associating with the kind of group it's come to label, since discussing video games in the real world is usually really fucking boring, and I've got more interesting aspects of my life I'd rather talk about anyway.

>gamer

I personally think of the term "gamer" to be in a similar league to "film buff" or "bookworm." You have people who watch the summer blockbusters or read whatever the current big YA novel is but they have no dedication. Similarly you have people who play Clash of Clans or the hottest indie meme game but otherwise prefer other mediums for their entertainment.

>>388233134
Every single person i have ever encountered that called themselves a "gamer" played only skyrim and whatever the newest flavor of the month is, i remember more then 10 years ago other kids at school mocking me for playing video games and now they probably play the newest AAA crap that comes out.

>>388241159

>>388233818
At some point you become the joke.

>>388241631
and to add onto this, its so generic and meaningless to call yourself a gamer. just shows you have no specific interests other than letting people know you fit in with a demographic of peoples and its pathetic

>>388233134
I never really met anyone, but people call me that when I say I play games and they don't really play.

someone who was actually invested in something would have more to say and its offensive that you would think you were on the level of people with actual dedication

Why not? There's nothing in the language that stops you from doing that, assuming a lot of people like the idea of calling some things this way. We are arguing semantics at this point, while there are some people that are genuinely angry at the idea of being called a gamer or a player or a game enthusiast or whatever for some reason.

>>388244136
Well I mean you don't do that for everything
Clearly chesser and tennisser don't sound very good

>>388244136
Because "gaming" is already a verb for cheats, swindlers, scammers, etc:

That's pre-2008ish. After Iron Man and COD4 got really big everyone became a gamer and a geek.
