Seriously, I don’t get it. It’s just a thing people do. Sometimes to an extreme… but if you are a extreme sports fan or extreme traveler… that’s ‘cool’. Meanwhile your mild dorky video game habit makes you persona non grata if people find out or you talk about it in public.
It’s 2025. I don’t understand.
I hate online PvP FPS games, and I know it’s a 100% skill issue. I like to think that the same logic also applies to those who hate all games.
that’s the other thing. hating video games is like saying you hate books, or anything on a screen.
it’s a medium with tons of genres and game play types that are often radically different. plus the ‘haters’ often do like games like guitar hero or dave and busters stuff or phone games. i guess because it’s ‘normal’, but apparnetly playing mario on a switch isn’t.
And then there are also point and click adventure games and even visual novels. Who hates those?
