I'm in my late thirties. Played a lot of video games when I was a kid through college and a little after. But this whole idea of there being a "gaming culture" or how being a "gamer" is a major part of peoples' personalities just seems weird to me. Not even a complaint, just an observation.

early thirties
think it comes from gaming being something pretty niche until the mid nineties, when it slowly started getting more mainstream to the point that now pretty much everyone has played a videogame, and most people play one or more at least infrequently
you see the same thing with anime
