are you proud when you tell other people that you are a gamer?

I don't tell people that I'm a gamer. It's not something I define myself by.
>>
Is that kylo ren as a teen?

It's like saying you like to watch movies.

There's nothing to be proud of. It's just a subculture identification thing.

the razer kraken pro is probably the least comfortable headset I've encountered in my life

I avoid videogame discussions as much as possible, mainly because most people are casuals and I end up talking shit about whatever game they bring up.

Can't even talk to my friends about vidya without them getting upset about how I don't like what they like.

Which headphones are more cringeworthy? Razer or Rasta skullcandies?

trick question,

both are

I don't have to tell people. My cubicle's littered with action figures and prints, I play with my handhelds at wirk and own two fucking WoW t-shirts.

I never bring up the subject though, unless someone else brings it up or it's a coworker or friend who's clearly into it. It's not that hard to act like a normalfag, really.

What even is a "gamer?" Most people play videogames at least some of the time. It's such a common thing that it seems useless as a label.
>>
>>341812987
Is fps the only competitive genre in which you can be proud to be called a gamer?
>>
/v/ has done irreparable damage to the term "gamer" so I just say I play games and avoid the term
>>
>>341813959
Probably ASSFAGGOTS as well, given their popularity.

I don't think anyone has ever called me a gamer despite the fact that it's my main hobby and I put hundreds of hours into games. People will say I play video games or play on the computer, but never have I been called a gamer unironically. Only my friends say it and they do it as a joke since we all know it sounds retarded.

Video games are just a hobby, not a source of identification or a role. I also cook, swim, jog, listen to music, and read. I have never been called a cooker, swimmer, jogger, listener, or reader since they're just hobbies. I understand being called a gamer if your actual job is to play video games, like if you enter competitions as a source of income or if you stream. But I don't, so it wouldn't make any sense to be called one.

a guy at work asked me if I was a gamer the other day. I have been playing video games for nearly 16 years and I have never once considered the term.
>>
>>341814165
>it's cook.

it's used as an identification for people who care. much like any one of those things are used as a facet for understanding who you/they are as an individual.

you describe yourself as you are, but others have their own side of who you are.
>>
>>341813175
isn't he already one
>>
>>341813156
This. Referring to yourself as a gamer is for edgy females and neckbeards whose lives consist of nothing else.
>>
>>341813137
There's nothing wrong with shorts.
The white shoes make him look like a normie/grandpa, though.

Am I a gamer if I play board games?

Yes.

I downplay the fact that I play video games because they're for nerds desu.

In fact I don't even actually play them that often, I spend more time shitposting on this site about them.

I don't get mad at them though, they're free to like whatever they want to. But when they ask me for an opinion, they get upset when it's not 'Oh I like that too!'

Seriously, these are people that think Civilization is 'obscure'.

Brand loyalty like that is retarded as fuck because you either end up getting shittier items.

Razer is great for mice, mouse pads and keyboards, but that's about it.

It's more like "I don't shy away from saying so when asked". If you're striking a conversation with a stranger, chances are you're not doing so to talk about video games.
