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.
:grillman:
I feel the same way about "stoner" culture.
What you do for fun isn't a substitute for a personality.
I'm pro legalization as is any sane leftist, but the "DUDE, WEED, LMAO" capital-s Stoner culture is obnoxious and its enthusiasts are often bad neighbors and worse roommates in my experience.

Agreed. Obsessing over anything like that is cringe AF. Same with "sportsball" cultures or anything like that that people dedicate their existence to. I will say at least stoners usually aren't screaming for genocide and not nearly as egotistical as these "gamer" shits though. If I were to have any defense of stoners it's that it's generally harmless to the rest of the population. Even if it's still cringe.
