are they? last thing i remember reading about gamers is that they're oddly more socially outgoing than the general population. maybe its just a stereotyping thing.

clearly you've never experienced the frustration of trying to shave off 0.1 second off your speedrun of a 25 year old game, and falling just short of your goal.

High adrenaline combined with poor impulse control, a lack of social skills, and a predisposition to being on the autism spectrum

Also self-described "gamers" are more likely to be poor minorities so pat yourself on the back for pushing another racial stereotype, jerk

What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the continent, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re loving dead, kiddo.

Is PS5 really gonna look that much better than PS4? Like, serious question: are we approaching a point where resolution will surpass our eye's ability to resolve detail, so that game engines effectively can't really look any better? I mean you can find novel ways to render smoke effects and poo poo I guess but really PS4 already doesn't look that much different than PS3 games to me!
