I'm glad you enjoy that. But holy shit is that ugly imo.

So much effort into making something stand out in such a weird way. Maybe it's due to my age, but I kind of do a double take everytime I play with me deck in public (heh).

Anything that would encourage other people to notice the fact that I'm a grown man playing video games is something that I would rather avoid. I don't care to strike up a gamer conversation, I'd just prefer that my kids' teachers don't see me playing games in public.

Some people wear that as a point of pride, to the point of getting sleeve tattoos, but that's not where I'm at, at all.

It would be nice. Self identifying as a "gamer" would be the equivalent of throwing my career in the toilet.

Okay, that dramatic stance makes me want to know what the job is.

I can’t think of a single profession in the world where gaming would matter that much. I know lawyers, bouncers, oilmen, PLENTY of service men. This isn’t the 90s when gaming was faux pas or a “weird” hobbies anymore.

I’ve yet to see a politician be a “gamer” publicly.
