Do you identify yourself as a gamer? Why or why not?
>>
shampoo a cute
>>
yes, because i define myself by the entertainment products that i consume
>>
because i'm gay
>>
No gamers are horrible people and causals 9/10 times.
>>
>>321089419
no, because I've only beaten around 600 games
>>
>identify as a gamer
retarded as fuck
like identifying yourself as a remote control car driver because you like to play with them
>>
>>321089419
I only identify as myself
>>
>>321089419
>Do you identify yourself
No
>>
Yes.

If someone on the street would ask me if I was a gamer I would answer yes.
I have a basic understanding about how to control any game and I wouldn't have any trouble if somebody just handed me a controller with a game I have never played.
I also know quite a lot of games

It is one part of my identity. Nobody says it has to be the defining and exclusive all encompassing part.

It would be retarded to say I am not a gamer.
But then again I also don't hate myself like all the other losers on /v/ so good luck with that denial.
Sure sounds healthy.
>>
If im discussing my interests with normies? yes.

Its a helluva lot easier than "excuse me, but I do not identify as this 'gamer' of which you speak. I am merely an indivudual who enjoys the act of playing video games."
>>
No.

I have other hobbies.
>>
>>321089419
Self identify, yes. To other people, no. Other people are fucking retarded. There are three types of people - people who play garbage who call themselves gamers but should just kill themselves, people who don't play games at all who are just fucking retarded, and people who play good games and aren't retarded and don't seem to actually exist. So, do I game yes, do I mention it to other people - no. When people ask what I like to do I tell them I like to spend my time dodging questions.
>>
>>321089419
No. I do self identify as an Otaku and Weeaboo though.
>>
>>321091667
I miss when Otaku and Weeaboo were actual insults and not ironic complements.
>>
Hesitantly.

I usually tell people that I love playing videogames, but "gamer" is a soulless marketing term used to shill doritos and shoddy razer products to retards
>>
No because I'm not that huge of a faggot.

Before the advent of phone games came, I would identify as a "gamer." Now, however, I wouldn't say that I am a gamer because the term doesn't mean the same thing nowadays. Pretty much everyone is a "gamer" now. That's like asking if you self identify as a breather.

>>321091667
>>321091809
They still are insults but some people either don't understand that they're insults, accepted that people will call them that and just roll with it, or are just being "ironic".
>>
>>321089419
I guess so because when relatives and acquaintances try to buy me gifts I would rather have shitty video game tie in stuff than shitty Dr. Who and Harry Potter and Star Trek tie in stuff.

This is a shitty generation I belong to, but gamer is less torturous than geek

I enjoy walking outside in a waterproof coat during rainy evenings, therefore I identify myself as a rainy-evenings-in-waterproof-coats-walker.

Ok op, you know the drill

Post shampoo's tits

Shouldnt that katakana be Neo Nihon? Or atarashi nihon in Kanji with English subscript?
>>
What's so wrong with calling yourself a gamer? Why must /v/ always be on the contrarian side of literally everything?
>>
Definitely not because it's cringy as fuck

> I identify myself as a rainy-evenings-in-waterproof-coats-walker.
Well, no, do you not just enjoy it but that's actually a thing you do? You go around driving around the region to find rainy evenings and you actively spend time rain walking? Because if rainwalking is something you actively do, yeah you're a rainwalker. If it's something you just enjoy, well that's a nice fact but it's not really integral to you.

If I then dismissed video games, then I can't say I'm anything could I, because the same conception would dismiss anything else, especially things I don't do. So I couldn't be musician or a painter or a philosopher or I'm a straight man or anything to do with my employment or my hobbies, or your personality... so really I'm not anything, no one can be anything by that form of dismissal. Who are you as a person, as much as you can note your discussion ends being classified as a human. So your actually being less useful than faggots who whine about labels despite the fact that they constantly use them and literally cannot avoid using labels because labels are how the world works period and words by definition are labels.

What's with all the shampoo posting?
>>
>>321094781
No. It still is.
It's kind sort of like the reverse situation as the word creep. Being a creep depends on who you are not what you do. Nerd being an insult depends on who you are not what you do.

Cute chick on instagram with glass = OMG NERD
Football captain who can't read a book with ironic glasses = ZOMG so dreamy nerd
Actual nerd = Eeeewwww, fucking nerd.
