No, I'm pretty fucking alone right now and have been for the past two years.

Yes I am because how do I know any of you are real?

because it's fucking retarded and it's invented and used by the new generation of casuals that ruin everything

>Gamers are never alone

That's true, thanks to modern governments.

Alright.

i've been playing multiplayer games for half my life and i never made any meaningful relationship. Guess i'm asocial online like in real life

yes we are

...

...

but i am ;_;

Loneliest gamers are people, who play online games and have no friends irl to play with him.
Less loneliest gamers are gamers, who play singleplayer games with plot and characters.

How do you know you're real? You might be being tricked.

I only play singleplayer bitch.

>"please stop calling me an 'artist' I just paint is all"

You're in a coma. Wake up. We miss you.

What is this shit? The internet is not your friend. You guys will never be my friend.

what if i'd kidnap you

no. saying you're a 'gamer' or 'I game' is a fine way to describe what you're doing.

This picture is all wrong, markiplier should have 10+ million teenage girls on the other side salivating for him to do something mildly sexual.

Or you could just say "Yeah, I play video games."

It's true anons. Us gamers will never be alone.

If you ever need someone to call you a faggot and tell you to kill yourself, I'll be there for you user.

exactly

i feel less alone on the internet even though i don't communicate with anyone

>game is to gamer
>X is to [term for X]

Sorry that you're too autistic to see the connection. People perform actions. They are given titles to simplify explaining those actions. Gaming is an action. Playing music is an action. Therefore, they both receive their respective titles - gamers and musicians.

N-NO I'M SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE!
SNOWFLAKE!

I just say I play vidya games

do your thing

How's your chromosome county today? Stop being so pedantic, you gamer.

really makes you tink

*Raises paw to screen*

>Gamers

It's Players, you use the word Players to describe people who play games, it's been that way since before you were born. At this point anyone who uses "gamer" seriously is a dumb fuck casual.

>being this fucking stupid

You're not alone. It's a lame label

she needsa fukin breast reduction

Not an argument.

god bless you.

I read books. I'm a booker.
I drive cars. I'm a carer.
I use computers. I'm a computerer.
I watch movies. I'm a movier.
I eat food. I'm a fooder.
I play games. I'm a gamer.

Reader, driver, user, watcher, eater. There are no gamers; only players.

I've always felt alone my whole life, for as long as I can remember, I don't know if I like it... or if I'm just used to it, but I do know this. Being lonely does things to you, and feeling shit and bitter and angry all the time just...eats away at you.

#ps4theplayers

this struck home with me. i feel the loneliest when my internet is out for days or weeks

God bless you too user.

this is why the west is full of faggot cucks

You need to be chemically castrated. >purposely abusing the English language for your own vile means

It still needs a title. Why don't you make a better one if you're so much better?

What is this guy doing these days?

But he did, "players".

she's going to get BACKPAIN the rest of her life if they keep growing, they're already too big

>gaming industry
>no guise it's the playing video games industry
You're a retard.

I don't need to make one up. Playing is the verb. A group of people who play are players. Describing a group of people who perform that verb is typically done by converting the verb they have in common, not the noun because doing that to the subject can have ridiculous results. Not all subjects are interacted with in the same ways so it's more important to distinguish what people do rather than what they do it to. Having it any other way would lead to confusion.

Although I see you don't think people who play games being called players is adequate enough to describe them because players can be used to describe many other people who don't play video games. Like football players, tennis players, etc. Hobbies and activities that have been around for far longer and yet somehow they do not mind being called exactly what they are. Players. Albeit the word player is prefixed by what they play so if you really want to be a pedantic little fucker then you should call yourself a video game player.

No, it's just video game industry, not gaming industry.

It's the video game industry. You don't need to include a verb.

>it's the watching movies industry

This is how retarded you sound.

When i first time played CS from my home i was baffled. It was like a fucking miracle to me, i couldn't believe it
Now i just hate every sperg i play with.
Fuck people

you sure user? I am sure i'd make a best friend out of you.
c'mere

It's both but how about gaming the tax system then?

Different subject, different context. Apples and oranges.

ha

It's another way of saying "playing the system".
gaming = playing

holy fucking shit
someone kill me

You game a song? You game a game? You game with your dogs? When you were a little kid you would put your hand down your pants in class and game with your tiny little dick?

There's only 3 people on all of Sup Forums.
Me, you, and that shitposting dude.

Don't you dare expose me!

What if shitposting dude is your alter-ego?

In that context gaming means playing within the rule of the system in order to "win". Just like in a video game.
Also, I don't see the problem with gaming with a dog.

Dogs don't game. Dogs play. You don't game. You play. "Game" is not the verb you would use to express that you interact with video games. Try it. Say out loud "I game video games". "I'm a gamer of video games". Your bullshit rationalization only works when you conveniently leave out the subject of the verb.

But that's where you're wrong user
There's me too

the reason those sentences don't work is because you're restating information already present

I can p[lay video games with my dog next to me and I'd be gaming with my dog.
I can also be gaming with my dick by I don't really have that much control over it, i'd much rather game with my hands.

Never quite figured out why people on /video games/ hate the word that means "people who ploughing play games"

So you would be perfectly fine with someone who makes video games calling himself a "maker"?

Maker of what? You've already admitted that gaming or being a gamer was established with a completely different meaning and context. Someone who subverts the rules to gain an unfair or illegal advantage. Someone who games the system or games a machine.

From a linguistic standpoint "gamer" to describe people who play video games is incorrect. Hell, to define the word itself you need to clarify it with the proper way to describe the group of people. People who play video games.

>So you would be perfectly fine with someone who makes video games calling himself a "maker"?

uhh, you call someone who develops video games a developer
pretty poor example you chose

Ye-yeah.. i am not alone.. everyone have a girlfriend.. r-right bro?

And you call someone who plays video games a player.
Also, game developers specify what it is they develop because there's more than one kind of developer. They do not leave out the subject their verb describes unless it's already implied with the context.

You've supplied no evidence to support the truth that "player" is incorrect. You've only bleated that you like to use the word "gamer." You'll need to explain why the correct term is wrong if you expect to convince people to start using your term.

The same reason we don't call someone who plays tennis a tenniser, but call some who plays golf a golfer.
And that's because golf works as a verb but tennis does not, game also works as a verb.

Fuck, I only just noticed it's also e-celeb bullshit.

it's really just because it ends in a vowel
any noun that ends in a vowel can be verbed

Not him but my personal beef with the term "gaming" is that the term "playing games" already exists
Switching between intransigence and transigence feels clumsy, and I struggle to imagine any sentence in which the intransitive version of this verb is more elegant, or even interesting, it's more like slang in this regard

>that's because golf works as a verb but tennis does not
You're uneducated because you don't know why this is. Game works as a verb for a different context and subject. You don't game video games. Game is not the verb used in this context.

nah, you are not real
check yourself

Hey, isn't that the guy from the virgin walk drawing?

You can't post this picture without the accompanying CHAD STRIDE pictures or whatever they're called.

>You don't game video games
And you don't golf golfing. I really don't understand your point.
Game is exactly a verb that can be used in this context. Everybody understands what it means.

If you can't be love yourself and be happy alone then you'll never be able to to either of those things with someone else, senpai.

Sure it feels nice to not face the world alone but at the end of the day when the shit hits the fan and things stop being easy and fun, they other person will jump ship first chance hey/she gets.

Low self image, it's common these days among the sweet summer children.

Alas, I am 30 and winter is coming.

But I look 24 and feel 19.

The trick is to fuck girls at least a decade younger than you so you absorb their youth and vitality.

Because people who read book aren't said to "book", people who program weren't said to "code" until after the "gaming" niggershit. People who play instruments aren't said to "instrument" or "piano", people who watch movies aren't said to "move"

I don't identify with this.

I didn't know i was a chad! GOING OUTSIDE GETTING BITCH RIGHT NOW ASSHOLE
FUCK YOU Sup Forums

But language evolves all the time. We supposed to get mad at that now?

It's not the subject it's
THE
FUCKING
OBJECT

Of course you don't golf golfing. You play golf, or you golf.

Play is the verb used in this context. Replacing it with game is unnecessary slang. It's improper. I supplied you with numerous examples of how replacing the verb of a sentence with the noun that verb is associated with is jarring to read and hear. If you cannot acknowledge WHY this is jarring then you must be autistic.
