do you have gamer pride, anon?
if someone asks you what your hobby is, do you tell them it's video games or do you come up with something else?
>>333301340
>gamer pride
The word 'gamer' is a cancer, it should not exist. It implies a culture, which we don't have nor should.
>if someone asks you what your hobby is, do you tell them it's video games or do you come up with something else?
Video games and books is my usual answer. There's no reason to lie.
>>333301340
I tell it's history and video games, yeah.
>>333301340
I say I play video games and drop it unless they take interest.Then I find out they have shit taste and wish I never said anything
>Ice T got to 30 before I did, then again I'm only playing Division when all my bros are online which is only on Fridays
After the Five Guys shitstorm I never bring up video games in conversation with someone that doesn't know me. That shit tainted the "hobby" and set it back by 5 years.
When people get to know me they'll know I like to play video games casually, but won't know that I've been playing them for years.
I fucking love Ice T. Everything he does is funny
>>333301340
I'm surprised that Ice T would call himself a gamer after GIRLGAMERSGOHOME
>>333301340
I never mention video games
Luckily, i have other hobbies that aren't looked down upon so theres that.
Because the mere mention of vidya gets me a:
"OMG DO YOU PLAY COD? No? DO YOU PLAY BATTLEFIELD? No? DUDE WHAT ABOUT FIFA OR MADDEN? no? Dude you dont play anything...."
>>333302026
>guy ends his comment with "Lol"
>somehow, doesn't catch that it's a joke
It's like making a half way decent meal and joking about being an awesome chef. Basic hyperbole humor.
>>333301340
I read onKotakuthat the Division was better than Civ 5 with the Brave New World Expansion Pack
>>333302259
On here, lol is used ironically. It is still used unironically on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and Tumblr.
>>333301340
No. I list other hobbies I do less & then come up with an excuse for my lack of hobbies so I look like a busy person.
>>333301340
Why are people complaining about the lack of representation of minorities if black people make white dudes when character creator allows literal niggers?
>>333301804
Nobody even knows about Gamergate outside of the internet
>>333301340
That time played and he just got to level 30 how?
video games aren't my hobby and haven't been since i hit 20 i tell them one of the other things i do with my life instead
>>333302740
It's probably the lighting. Looks like he chose one of the white guys and made his skin color as dark as it could go
>>333301340
>console
How to spot the casuals.
>>333301340
Of course I tell them it's video games. It's a fucking hobby. I have no reason to be ashamed of something I enjoy.
It's not like it's my only hobby too. When someone asks you what you like, they are trying to strike up a conversation, so just list the things you like and go from there.
I know talking to people may be scary, but I believe in you!
No one has ever asked me what my hobbies are.
>>333302814
>other things
very funny
I only know three celebrities that enjoy videogames which are Vin Diesel, Ice T, and Snoop Dogg.
who else that's famous that enjoys videogames?

Matthew Perry voiced Benny in New Vegas for free because he liked Fallout 3 that much.
I play at least 4 hours of video games every day and post of /v/, a board dedicated to video games, whenever I can. I am also aware of the going-ons in the industry but I would never label myself as a gamer! That is too much!
I usually say bicycling, wood carving, and video games.
>>333301628
>It implies a culture, which we don't have nor should.
Bullshit and you know it. Subcultures exist in every hobby from guns to sewing to video games. Just because there's a prominent trend of anti-establishment, anti-labeling on /v/ doesn't mean you yourself are not participating in being part of that culture.
>>333301340
>know the division is shit from both playing the beta, the critical reception, and friend's experiences with it

what the fuck, literally did the same thing with that shitty Culling game. I need help.

don't ubisoft broke it last patch which was about a month ago. They made endgame THE MOST boring grind of your life. You get 3 credit for boss kills and it takes 100+ for any high end gear purchases

He said 'enjoys videogames' not 'enjoys taking selfies next to unopened video game boxes', chump.
>>333301340
I have some sense of pride for beating pic related and Ninja Gaiden without cheats or save states. If someone asks what my hobby is I tell them video games, I'm not going to lie like some beta faggot. People who treat their favorite hobby (or whatever hobby is "in" right now I should say) as an identity are frighteningly vacuous people however.
>>333301340
>pride
no
>do you come up with something else
EVERYONE plays video games so no
>>333303445
Division feels like Diablo to me senpaitachi. You kill shit, you get gear, you kill more shit. It's an OK game T B H.
Culling is an ok game to play with friends as well.
>>333303109
I think Keanu Reeves likes video games. I remember he said he liked the Matrix games at least.
>>333302678
God you people piss me off...
IT IS ONE PERSON.
ICE T IS NOT A REPRESENTATIVE OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE.
HE DOES NOT SPEAK FOR ALL BLACK PEOPLE.
JESUS.
Being a """""""""""""gamer""""""""""" is the most pathetic fucking identity there is.
>>333303296
>>That one anime dub that brought up Gamergate
That was pretty bad, but it did fit since Prison School is lazy trash.
>>333304003
That's the thing. My friends stopped playing it.
>>333303232
You face is a sandwich?
>>333303434
Some things shouldn't have subcultures. Sure you call someone who's hobby is to write, but do you call someone who's main hobby is reading a reader? We shouldn't call ourselves gamers either.
I go full autist and say I build models.
>>333303627
embarrassing.
>>333303798
I had loads of fun with Borderlands solo, played the base game once almost fully co-op and that was fun as well. Never liked 2 or pre sequel tho

>>333301804
>That shit tainted the "hobby" and set it back by 5 years
if video games were set back 5 years then there would probably be a notable improvement. all praise gamergate.
Mostly just start spilling spagethi when asked about hobbies.
>>333304321
That's because BL2 and PS are shit.
I wouldn't call something a hobby unless it involves either creating something or some form of physical effort. I read books, watch movies, and play video games on my free time; but that does not make me a reader, a watcher (?) or a gamer.
>>333304445
Guess so
>its another thread that asks a question as if its being addressed to kingergartners
>time played
>>333301340
Lump it in with working out, dancing and a love if Mexican death metal.
Proceed to bask in the glory of their confusion.
>>333302678
yeah. all games let you create your own character. stay edgy bullied faggot.
"What are your hobbies?"
>can't say video games
>especially can't say drag queen
...Hiking
>>333301340
when I say video games most assume mobile apps anyway
>>333304537
>I read books
So it makes you a reader
>watch movies
If you go out to watch movies, you're a moviegoer, if you stay in to watch movies you're a loserfag and should get some friends
>play video games
So it makes you a gamer
Additionally, if you're well versed in any of those fields you can call yourself a '[x] buff'.
not a difficult concept desu, you kind of fucked up your own point lmao
>>333303296
>game design classes
you shouldn't be trying that shit anyways
>>333301340
No way. I just tell them I collect Nazi memorabilia or something.
>>333301340
Being a manchild who plays with electronic toys is not something to be proud of. It doesn't help that everyone who calls themselves a "gamer" is just a faggot who wants attention for being different.
>>333301340
Telling people that you are a Gamer is like playing your 3ds in public. You look like a manchild.
Next thing: Everybody who tells me in RL that he play vidya is usually some neckbeard lookalike. So unless you showered this day and don't dress like a normal person, please say something else.
>>333304825
I mean when people ask about my hobbies senpai
>>333301340
It depends on the person really, I can usually tell whether they are normal , weeaboos or people who have an interest for video games.
I never really talk about it unless the other person brings the topic or simply feel like the person I'm talking to is into it. (and even then, I moderate myself because I don't want to sperg out on my taste) or just when I'm around my friends. Same thing applies for anime, which is much more shunned upon society given all the shit that weebs do.
Being that said, I usually say that my hobbies include reading, listening to music, fashion, art and clothing design. I guess the biggest irk I have with video games is that people immediately call you a "gamer" after you mention it.
I hate being labeled a "gamer" because the word is now related to the overall casuals>inb4 elitist shit. No, it's the truth and you all know it.However, I always explain to them that I simply enjoy playing them for entertainment.
>proud of being a 60 years old man playing the game targeted at teenagers
>>333303232
That better be cream cheese on that bread
>>333301340
ubisoft should just close it's doors, they are generally too retarded too function.

>>333303627
>I remember when someone asked her if she shaved her vagina and she got all flustered
>>333304229
They are usually called bibliophiles, so yes there's a term used to describe people who read a lot.
>>333303232
It's a thing called being friendly. No wonder /v/ keeps crying about "duuuuh i've no real life friend" on every off topic thread.
>>333302293
Man, screw ice T after the gamer gurl bullshit.

Go shoot up a school, Quentin.

>moviegger
>>333305023
anyone who says "i'm a ___er" when someone asks for their hobby is just stupid anyways
how hard is it to say "I sew, I read books, I play games, I fuck your bitch"?
When talking about people who do X thing, it's definitely appropriate to call them gamers or readers regardless of how they identify themselves. This whole "I play games, I'm not a gamer" movement is wack desu
>>333303627
Why do you faggots hate her again besides her having a vagina and annoying you the same way you retards annoy everyone else?
>>333301340
I never bring up video games unless I know the other person likes them too. So when someone asks what I do during my free time I just say reading or sleeping.
>>333305358
I just hate her because of The Guild way back when. It was awful and everyone involved should kill themselves.
>>333304102
>>333304349
Yeah, everyone knows that's Morgan Freeman. Show some damn respect.
>>333303347

And he did horribly.
Do you even do anything outside of playing videogames, /v/ ?
>>333305793
I draw.
>>333305793
I shitpost here
>>333305793
I have a job, collect figures and build models.
I usually just say I'm a musician
I later ask if they play video games
If not, then I don't talk about it
99.73% of the people in my college don't play anything but assfaggots, cod, cs, or fifa
>>333305793
Masturbate
>>333305793
I guess trying to get good at acting and failing spectacularly at it.
Other than that and vidya, my life is pretty empty
>>333306347
Acting takes a lot of time to learn anon, but if you join up with a community theater and go from there and play off screw ups lightly then you'll do fine
No.
The industry is shit, why would I? I hardly mention it anymore, I mean look at e3, those forced memes, delays, shitty games,sjwswhy would I have pride being related to that?
>>333304229
>has never heard the term "bookworm"
>>333306252
>I usually just say I'm a musician
You're a musician as in 4 years of music theory and several instruments under your belt or musician as in "I've picked up an eletrical guitar and only play metallica"?
Not trying to be a dick, just curious. You can never gauge shit like this. Same when people say they "draw" when all they do is trace or "write" when all they do is shit our fanfics.
>>333306882
Or bibliophile
I don't talk to people outside of women I attempt to fuck. And I have more interesting hobbies anyway.
So no OP.
>>333304229
>Some things shouldn't have subcultures.
That is a retarded notion, a culture will simply emerge when like minded people gather and practice their connecting theme.
>Sure you call someone who's hobby is to write, but do you call someone who's main hobby is reading a reader?
So only if they call themselves readers they are a culture of their own? people gathering and discussing, viewing, reading books together do exist for a long time not, but they elected to call themselves "book clubs" instead of "readers", which renders your argument invalid, unless you object to the an identification that is "X-er".
>We shouldn't call ourselves gamers either.
What should "we" call ourselves then, jackass?
"gaming enthusiasts", "video game conaisseurs" and other even less coherent sounding descriptions exist, but none of them are as concise and to the point as simply "gamer" which is straight to the point, "someone who plays games, regularly and deliberately".
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet".
>>333305005
>What kind of bird is a Chicago Blackhawk...?

>Acting takes a lot of time to learn
Tell me about it. Sure I've improved in 2 years of constant work, but the people I work with are still leagues ahead of me, meanwhile I struggle to play out a simple monologue without getting distracted by my own shit performance and realizing I can't deliver a line without sounding like a deadpan idiot every time.

Every fucking time. God bless you Quentin wherever you are.
I started playing before videogames were socially acceptable; so I have always hidden it from everyone, and cringe when people talk about it in public. Mygirlfrienddoesn't even know I play, and when I do, I say I'm going to go get some work finished.
>>333305793
I lift and run a music blog/collect cassette tapes. I also have a lot of causal sex. Which is soul crushing in a way.
I work 2 jobs so shits hard m8.
>>333307463
When I used to act before going into stage crew, I had a partner who I would run lines with. It helps if you have one and that you at least either like each other or respect each other. With about 5 days of practicing for 30 minutes each day, we delivered a 5 minute play in our acting class and we're one of the better ones.
>>333303445
don't do it brah. I'm a huge "looting"-game addict and even I got bored after hitting max lvl.
