The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

Any Tech terms (4k, fps, ect)
Exclusive
GOTY

It can be funny asking someone about a game these days. Say I know nothing of a game, I would ask and be like "Is this game good" and the response I would get back would be like "Oh yea, its an amazing exclusive for this system. It runs in 4k checker boarded with antialiasing and 60 fps locked. It's easily a GOTY."

I'm sitting here like, "okay, that tells me nothing"

It spills over, how many GOTG and GOATs have we had already this gen.

Casual is also abused to describe anything that's not a 60 hour rpg or multiplayer fest.
I don't even know what a cusual game actually is anymore.

Related to casual, Hardcore is used in some silly ways.

When I started gaming, hardcore was used to describe those people who played a game or games excessively. Now, people try to label games or genres themselves as "hardcore" or use it to insult another fanbase, even when that fanbase is filled with casual players, like CoD or GTA.

GOTG/GOAT (Game of the generation/game of all time)
Innovative
Exclusive
Checkerboard

Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
