I’ve always understood this site to be anti-gamer but for some reason I’ve always chosen to blind myself to the fact that many of you are just selfdepricating gamers.

You’re not really invested in the cause.

I feel like I’m in an Alcoholics support group and I’m the only one not drinking while you guys just hate on yourselves.

I feel like a clown, feeling supported by TRAITORS.

I stand alone with a double barrel shotgun surrounded by people double handing gamecube controllers what the FUCK

One man surrounded by a locust of treat children can only hope to be engulfed by their drool, annexed into a body that is rectally attached to a nintendo console, yearning for the latest form of abuse that will placate the entity’s masochistic desires

Man walks into therapy office

Tells doctor he's depressed, has to spend time at the office with people who make his life hell

Doctor leans back, says "You should relax, play a calm game of Mario Kart"

Man starts weeping and says, "But doctor, it's a me, Mario!"

Drum roll, hold for laughs, fade to black

I want to share this with someone, but I'm not sure I know anyone who understands the context

It's like posting loss in the group chat

tbh I find it hard to comprehend that some people literally never play video games. I can understand not every day, but never? genuinely incomprehensible to me

Life isn't very long, most work the majority of the day and only have a few hours to yourself tops. Gaming systems are expensive and associated with nerds. Are you going to play a poorly simulated game rendering of reality or be the game?

[–] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 18 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

... gaming systems? Do you think games only exist on expensive dedicated gaming hardware? You can play freeciv on your work laptop lmao

I occasionally play a video game but I am not a gamer.

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 36 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

There's a difference between playing games, one of many potential recreational activities, and internalizing the act of playing games as part of your identity.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Capital-G freeze-gamer are the ones that get really mad at people for not being hardcore enough or for not making every waking moment of playing a game a performative act of suffering and chewing glass. Also they're really horny about feeemales but in the driest possible way and hate actually seeing living breathing thinking feeemales present in their preoccupation.

the posts about gamers aren't about how games suck. they're about how gamers suck because they're all racist ableist shitheads who don't want people less good at them or less able than them to be able to enjoy games

You are not alone... there is an underground of us anti-gamers still fighting the good fight.

We have a plan to take down the gamers once and for all.

I think you might be ready to join us.

But first I need to know are you prepared to go all the way gueybana?

yesYou have fallen for my ruse; you see this was a dialogue tree all along! by clicking on it you have committed an act of gaming thereby making you a gamer now and forever more.

Last time I played a game was Stardew Valley like, a year ago. I do watch my friend stream on Twitch though, for the hang. Does this make me a voyeur gamer?

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

double barrel shotgun

You mean super shotgun?
