I’ve always understood this site to be anti-gamer but for some reason I’ve always chosen to blind myself to the fact that many of you are just selfdepricating gamers.

You’re not really invested in the cause.

I feel like I’m in an Alcoholics support group and I’m the only one not drinking while you guys just hate on yourselves.

I feel like a clown, feeling supported by TRAITORS.

I stand alone with a double barrel shotgun surrounded by people double handing gamecube controllers what the FUCK

Does this perspective still hold up when considering the popularity of sports? Playing a pickup game of basketball doesn't have a real world tangible result besides being a bit healthier no?

That's a massive benefit though. Your tangible result is living longer/living healthier lol

Somewhat. You're sculpting your body and reflexes with sports, but you can sculpt reflexes with games (and make yourself sick overdoing it with most sorts of gaming). There's some material social aspect very well established with sports that has yet to be developed for vidya.
