    I never watched her stuff but the impression I get from lefty spaces after the fact is that it was simpler and using games as a medium to make a new wave of people ask a few questions about why society is the way it is. I don’t know what tone they were in but I don’t expect anyone who is taking that on to be super condescending about it.

    I think that’s a decent goal, and the need for it is kind of epitomized by what the response was.

    I still refuse to call myself a gamer. “I enjoy games” “I’m into computer games”

      Same. I hate the word gamer. It’s not an identity, it’s an activity I enjoy doing sometimes.

      I wouldn’t say I’m a reader or a theme parker or a movier. I say I enjoy reading, going to theme parks, and watching movies.
