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

And the Buddha said,

"Who would enlighten the gamers,

If I were not here among them?"

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

Okay but hear me out

[-] Yor@hexbear.net 36 points 2 months ago

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

[-] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

It's the same as jerking off vs gooning

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?

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

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 36 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

Totally agree. That's my subtext actually.

The Gamer™ is a fascist who is annoying and makes video games their entire personality. Not all video game treats are bad

[-] CyberSyndicalist@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

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.

noso you choose to perish like a dog? where are your convicitions? is this all a game to you? of course it is you G*MER

[-] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

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 months ago

double barrel shotgun

You mean super shotgun?

Gaming is one of thr few places people can attempt to taste a world without capitlaism. Like, everytime capitlaism touching gaming it gets worse. I am a shitty enough white guy that seeing capitlaism destroy NPCs primed me for radiclaization as a youth. Like I didn't yet know a better world was possible but I was tasked with creating a better world for the pixels in my care and I got to see first hand how liberalism was a failing tech tree.
