Do you remember when vidyagames used to b "the hobby of social rejects"

[Nymeria]

That core gamer mentality is still niche and stigmatized with the stereotypes from the 1980s. Gaming expanded so much, especially in recent years with mobile titles that nearly everyone plays some from of video games.

I could say I play video games and no one bats an eye. If I start explaining how excited I am about Last of Us Part II or going into the mechanics of Nioh, then it's confused looks and people wanting to change the subject.
