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:
No you're right, its really weird that society has come to the point where subjects base their entire personalities on this massive symptom of alienation under neoliberalism. Being a "gamer" isnt an unironic culture, beyond being a racist piece of shit on the internet, its a consumer demographic.
Edit: Matt Christman has the best takes on this.
Consumer demographic as personality is such a thing.
